There are some constants in search engine optimization; some factors that, by necessity, must be considered by all the major engines. These are the factors you need to play around with to make sure you get top ranking in all the search engines: \n\nAge = the older the website, the better. There is this thing called "sandbox" where new websites are not shown until several months later\n\nContent = you need to have content related to a similar theme. The better your content and the more original your content, the more likely other websites will want to link to you and audiences will come back to your site\n\nKeyword density = the overall percentage of your page content that is made up of the targeted keywords. An additional factor in keyword density is the percentage of your keyword content that uses special formatting such as bold, italic, anchor text, etc.\n\nHow it fares in the results = the search engine knows when you have clicked on a result. They also know when you have returned to the results to try another site.\n\nSite structure = The way your site is structured determines how easily a search engine spider can get through it, the priority is gives specific content, and how much code the spider has to weed through to get to your content.\n\nBacklinks = With backlinks, as with websites in general, it's quality that counts. \n\nGeneral timeline of getting your site ranked well \n\n2 - 3 months: MSN rankings secured \n4 - 6 months: Yahoo! rankings improving \n6 - 8 months: Yahoo! rankings secured and Google improving. Many secondary phrases are attained on Google. \n8 - 12 months: Google rankings secured. \n\nI suggest you read the following articles:\n\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm

the number of other sites that have a link to your site actually helps your rating in yahoo, and google.  Keywords are important, but even great keywords won't do anything for traffic.  There are options that you can pay to have your site listed in prime area, sidebars etc. on yahoo and google.  The thing you need the most of is time!  I went from 40 to 50 hits a month, to over 3000 a month, now I'm back to 40 to 50.  Most of the big hits came from image searches, not regular google searches.  \nIt'l like anything else.. there is no easy way, it costs money!

Long answer short : Follow three steps :\n\n(1) Put good content on your site\n(2) Register it to search engines\n(3) Convince other sites to link more.\n\nExplaination :\n\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query.  At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html\n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take.\n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

I took a look at your site and here are my comments:\n\n1. You can improve your search engine ranking (and getting found by people through the SEs) by adding a title tag to your website. Right now, it only says "Home". I'm not familiar with Yahoo Sitebuilder, but you need to change this:\n\n <head><title>Home</title> to\n\n <head><title>ABC Office Supply: Office Supplies, Computer Supplies and Other Business Needs</title>\n\nPut the keywords in your title. It's not a guarantee, but it can significantly improve your chances.\n\n2. Improve the aesthetics of the site. The dark blue is too overpowering. Limit the underlined text to those that are clickable (on the Web, when it is underlined, people think it can be clicked).\n\n3. Put featured products on your site. Also highlight discounts or ongoing promotions\n\n4. Market your site well. Try pay per click. Make deals with some offices to buy from you and not from the bigger stores. Give people a reason why they will come to you, and not to another store

Spend some time and money promoting the web site's rankings within the search engines. The sites that show up at the top of the search engine results get most of the business.

As soon as you publish a site or page, it is potentially available worldwide.  The problem of course is being able to find it and that is where search engines come in.\n\nThere are countless articles and books on how to get your site noticed and listed by search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo etc.).  Your question will then have to change to something like, how do I get my site listed PROMINENTLY on the popular search engines?

That's a pretty broad question and hard to answer without details, but I'll try.\n\nOne of the first steps is SEO (search engine optimization). There are tons of SEO companies out there. www.stepforth.com provides this service for my website.\n\nThe quality of your website is useless unless people can find it at the moment they want to. Pay per click advertising is the quickest way to get on the search engines. Again, StepForth provides these services for me. \n\nYou should also consider reciprocal linking. A company called www.domaindrivers.com is doing this for my website.

There's several criteria that determine how much traffic your website gets but by far the most important things are to have a good ranking in the search engines and some good links to your site.\n\nSearch engines use a complicated algorithm to determine which sites are placed where in the rankings (the results returned by a search engine) and these algorithms are a closely guarded secret.\n\nThere are various articles on the net to do with 'Search Engine Optimization' (or SEO) but I ignore all of them and do things my way - this seems to work as every site I've created ranks within the top 6 on Google even when there's up to 40 million other results found.  A site I created just a few days ago is already ranked number 1 by Yahoo (the only major search engine to have indexed the site so far).\n\nThese are some of my tips...\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A GOOD TITLE --\nOne of the key things a search engine looks at is the title of the page. When you're giving the page a title use the same words that people are likely to key in when using a search engine.  For example, if you're going to create a page about space travel then a title such as "Space Travel - Be a Shuttle Rocket Tourist and Journey to the Moon" would be far better than "All about flying to the moon and back" because the first phrase includes many keywords that people are likely to use in a search engine such as space, travel, shuttle, rocket, tourist, journey and moon.\n\n-- GIVE YOUR PAGE A RELEVANT NAME --\nSearch engines also look at page names.  If your domain was mydomain.com then a page name luch as mydomain.com/space-travel will do much better than mydomain.com/section1/part2/page3.\n\n-- USE THE DESCRIPTION TAG --\nSome search engines supoort this tag - others don't.  Google is one of those that does.  What it means is that the details of the site that users see when your site shows up in the search results are the details yopu want them to see and not random snippets from the page.\n\nFor example.  Compare a Yahoo search for 'Black Eyed Peas' to a Google Search.  Both of them find blackeyedpeas.com but Yahoo describe it as "... Multi-platinum 2-time Grammy-winners The Black Eyed Peas cross an historic threshold as their hit ... The Black Eyed Peas, Sergio Mendes, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and others ..." whereas Google uses the description tag and describes it as "Official site includes videos, message boards, tour dates, and photo gallery. Additional content is available to members."\n\n-- PUT A HEADING ON YOUR PAGE --\nThe heading should closely match the page title.  You need to format the heading as a Heading Style and not simply use bold and underlined text.\n\n-- REPEAT THE KEYWORDS FREQUENTLY --\nYou need to include in the text of your page several instances of the different keywords people may key in when using a search engine.  Using the space travel example your page should include words such as space, travel, fly, moon, space-tourist and so on with each of these words repeated several times.\n\nAt the same time don't overdo it - if you keep repeating the same thing ove and over and over again the search engines don't like it.\n\n-- USE OF THE KEYWORD TAG --\nThis is something that's falling out of favour with search engines and in my experience could be detrimental to page ranking.  Keywords are added to the page itself but aren't visible to people browsing the page.  This was a useful 'tag' for ensuring your page contained varients of words, particularly those that are often mis-spelled (e.g. Britney, Britany, Brittany, Spears, Spiers etc).  Personally I don't use keywords any more.\n\n-- DON'T TRY TO 'CHEAT THE SYSTEM' --\nSome web pages hide text by printing white text on a white background for example.  Often such text has nothing at all to do with the site but is just a list of popular words and phrases.  The hope is that som
