Higher Search Engine Rank
A higher search engine rank is a common goal of web marketers and often a mystery for beginners. Besides good on-page optimization, link building is huge when it comes to bagging those coveted top spots. Read on for the top four ways to get more backlinks to your website and get higher search engine rank.
Tips #1:
Submit your website to web directories - There are a lot of free web directories you can submit your site to that will help you accumulate back links.
Tips #2:
Submitting articles to article directories is a powerful technique. If you aren't confident in your writing ability you can hire others to write original articles for you at surprisingly reasonable prices. Articles of decent quality that offer valuable content can build considerable traffic flow over time while giving you some quality back links. Make sure your article includes suitable anchor text and a link leading back to your website in your author bio or resource box.
Tips #3:
Posting on related forums or blogs - One good bet in trying to build up search engine rankings would be to get your website link onto pages of blogs and forums of sites with related themes to your own. You can post comments or even questions on blogs using your website in your signature. Make sure your link is only in your signature or you're likely to get banned for spamming.
Tips #4:
Exchanging links with related websites - If you can get other high quality and related websites to exchange their links with yours on each other's website homepages, this can be a fantastic way of building up backlinks. Unfortunately the process can be very labor intensive. As with other methods you want quality over quantity. Due to the time required to implement this tip I recommend you spend your time on other methods, like article marketing, before working on exchanging links.

Use Signature for Traffic
A signature file IS important - honest!
This tip is VERY basic, yet I'm continual y surprised how many apparently
experienced marketers don't use it ALL the time.
Add a signature file to the bottom of EVERY email you send – to anyone.
Here's why:
I receive a lot of email, and I get so frustrated when I receive cryptic emails
from people I half-know saying things like...
"Did you find time to have a look at the ebook?"
John.
I have to stop and think, "Who's John? What was his book about?"
Where did I file his ebook when I downloaded it? Into a file based on his
SURNAME, not "John".
Adding a signature file to every email...
1. Reminds people of the name of your website. It helps make your site
memorable.
2. Gives people a link they can click on, makes it easy for them, and
increases your chances of getting visitors.
3. Can temp extra visitors, especially if you give them a reason for
visiting, such as a new article or a free report.

Ping your blog whenever you post !
What is a ping?
A notification to a Web site that a blog has been created or updated. The ping is typically an XML message that contains the URL of the blog. Blog tracking sites publish separate Internet addresses for accepting pings, and news sites may also set up ping addresses.
Many blog authoring tools automatically ping one or more servers each time the blogger creates a new post (or updates an old one.) That is, the tool sends an XML-RPC signal to one or more "ping servers," which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material.
Open ping servers, like VeriSign's Weblogs.com and Yahoo!'s blo.gs, let other web-services subscribe to a list of blogs that have recently pinged them. Blog search engines can provide fresh results very quickly by polling only the newly-updated blogs. Similarly, aggregators use results from ping servers to tell subscribers which items on their subscription lists have fresh material. A few of the blog aggregators that can be pinged directly include: BulkFeeds, FeedBurner, Google Blog Search, IceRocket, Technorati, and Yahoo
In addition to open ping servers, there are an increasing number of proprietary ping servers that gather information only for their own applications. Most of the major blog search engines operate such ping servers.
There is a conflict of interest here between the blogger--who wants his new post to get the widest possible publicity as fast as possible--and the web-service owner--who wants his search engine or aggregator to have new blog posts long before anyone else. As a result, bloggers have turned to services such as Ping-o-matic, which pings multiple proprietary ping servers. As the blogosphere has grown, other ping "services" have cropped up, such as Pingoat and BlogFlux Pinger.

Increase traffic with Feedburner
FeedBurner is a free service that allows you to track your feed traffic and all kinds of other fun stuff. It won’t create a feed for you from scratch as often believed - rather it wraps itself snugly around a feed you bring in and adds its services therein. It has a few premium options for the serious feed publisher, too.
1- Give others permission - or shake the no-no finger - with the Creative Commons option, found under the Publicize tab in your FeedBurner dashboard.
It will pop in the logo if you like, and explain what permissions others have to use your feed. Being clear about what permissions others have to use your feed with encourage them to display your headlines on their site – or let them know that they must link to you to cite your views.
2- Turn your feed into a newsletter with Feedblitz or Squeet under Publicize/Email Subscriptions.
This turns your feed into a newsletter. It even gives you a subscribe form for your site. Now you now have a(nother) ezine option to go with your blog without any extra work.
3- Use the Browser-Friendly version, combined with FeedFlare to explain what an RSS Feed is.
First on the Optimize tab, the Browser-Friendly version turns your RSS feed into a web page, so that when new people click on your feed, without knowing what it is, they’ll know how to use it. All you do is link to the FeedBurner version of your feed, instead of your default feed address.

Link campaign & Incestuous linking
Link campaigns are a form of online marketing and SEO. A business seeking to increase the number of visitors to its web site can ask its strategic partners, professional organizations, chambers of commerce, suppliers, and customers to add links from their web sites. A link campaign may involve mutual links back and forth between related sites, but it doesn't have to require the reciprocation of links.
Incestuous linking is an SEO strategy used by a webmaster to promote a collection of their own web sites, or those of close friends.
Due to the domination of the search engine market by Google, and its underlying PageRank technology, sites are deemed to be more important if they have large numbers of inbound links. If those inbound links are also from highly ranked web sites, they will boost the web site further. With the takeup of blogging and social networking sites such as MySpace, this has resulted in lots of web sites that are inter-linked and can artificially improve the ranking of a web site without merit, i.e. without valuable, or unique content.
When the sites are not directly owned, this is referred to as a web clique

Increase Google Page Rank
If you want the search engines to find your blog, hub or website and rank your pages, then you need to post on a daily basis. Some writers that I know put aside one day and write all their posts for the week and submit on a daily basis.
Page rank will increase if you link between different posts and pages on your website. One of the best ways of raising your Google page rank is to post comments on blogs and websites that have a higher ranking than you and leave your URL next to your name. If they follow the link you will get an inbound link from a site with a higher page ranking than yours; this can boost your page ranking.
Don't be too impatient this demands a fair bit of work and Google often doesn't list page rankings for a month or longer - so it could take a while to see a change in your page ranking.

Google ranking factors
1. PageRank
PageRank is determined by the number and quality of links to a page. Both the quantity and quality of text links are important. Always try to get links from web pages with a PageRank rating of at least four.
Concentrate on getting as many different quality sites as possible to link to one page on your site, usually your home page. Do not spread the links to different pages. This will maximize the PageRank of your main page, plus those of the subpages.
2. Incoming Text Link Keywords
ALWAYS provide text links for linking to your site. Avoid image links.
Google does index image links, but without any text for it to index, it won't help your link popularity rating for your important keywords.

How to Effectively Choose Your Web Site`s Keywords
If you're serious about trying to land tons of free traffic via search engines then choosing keywords is going to have to be a serious investment for your business. In part one of this two part series, I am going to show you how to go about choosing keywords. In part two, I am going to show you how to use your keywords on your Web site.
Whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a professional, I'm sure you will find that once you are done reading the series you will have a better understanding of how to better target search engines while keeping your visitors happy.
The Importance of Keyword Selection
A common question many people ask is "What keywords should I be targeting for my site?" It is an excellent question to ask because choosing the keywords that you put on your Web site should not be taken lightly. Keyword selection should be considered a major part of your total marketing strategy.
The words that you put on your Web site are eventually going to be indexed by the search engines, unless there is something preventing a spider from crawling your Web site. The textual content on your Web pages is how search engines will classify your Web site and how people will find your Web site when using a search engine.
The most basic idea behind selecting the right keyword is choosing keywords for which people are actually searching. It is important to think like your target audience and not to think like an expert or someone well versed in your profession. Let's say I have a Web site for a ski resort. Now, I would not target the keywords "ski" or "snowboard." These terms are far too generalized and will have a ton of competing sites.
We are targeting people who want to go skiing. If a term is too general then you will have visitors who are looking for anything related to skiing and snowboarding, not visitors specifically looking to go skiing. People who are looking to go skiing are not typing those keywords in the search box. The type of people who are likely to come to your resort will be searching with keywords that look more like these: "ski resorts," "discount ski vacations" or even select localized terms like "Colorado ski resorts."
You also would not optimize a Web page for a single keyword like "doctor." With all the specialized areas in the medical industry you want to target people searching for specific doctors or specific health problems.
You can apply this idea to any business if you derive your keyword list from the various products or services you offer. If you sell a specific line of a product, or sell a particular manufacturer's product you may find that people are searching for those terms more than generalized terms. Some specific examples of choosing keywords from a specific line or manufacturer are "Dell laptop computers" or "Harry Winston jewelry."
