• Relevant Content
• Links
• Good Keywords

Lets start with links – these are easy. The more links, the higher you’ll rank in google. Well, sort-of. We’ll talk about that later. But basically more is better. And the bigger, cooler the site you’re linking from, the more your link counts.Good Keywords. Ok, this is REALLY important. I don’t care what you are building a site about, if you don’t pick a good keyword, you aren’t getting anywhere. Picking a good keyword just means pick a keyword that people actually search for.Relevant Content – I always thought this was common sense, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people ask why their site doesn’t rank for something that’s not ON the page.
