It’s really hard to say that one particular task is the biggest factor in a web ranking. There is on page and off page optimization. Nobody really knows what methods search engines use to index your website. But we can do research to see what works best for other sites. So if I was going to narrow the most important step down, I’d have to say it would be the amount of back links that you have going to your website.

This is what I learned from these Podcast Interviews. Backlinks are the sledgehammer of getting a high web ranking. You can rank well for just about anything if you have enough links pointing back to the website you want to promote.

Like I said before we don’t really know what methods the search engine uses but I have found that over time they are making it harder and harder for people to get easy backlinks. In my opinion many of the methods used in the past like reciprocal linking, buying back links are strategies that are going by the wayside with the search engines. I don’t think their linking strategies meet their terms and condition of what they are looking for so that is why this process is getting harder and harder.

I think search engines are going more for the high grade of excellence when it comes to linking. Keep in mind that your SEO plan should be something that is long term. This is why you need to keep up a good practice of getting backlinks.

The thing that I do to get good backlinks to my website is to write and submit articles.

You want to do things naturally, so going out and posting hundreds of backlinks to a website that just when live is not a good thing to do.

For example, if you wanted to rank high for xxxx, then you would go out and see if you can get a domain name xxxx.com. Some people will be linking to your website just using the URL, so the search engines can figure out what your name is and what the subject content is suppose to be just by your domain name. I don’t know why some people don’t bother filling in the meta-tags, but make sure you fill in the title, description and the keyword section of your site. Make sure you put the keyword in all three places. If you just follow those two suggestions, you can rank high for just about any keyword you are going after. Last when going for high web rankings don’t go out and get all of your links in just one day. Be slow but steady.
