So
how do you get a top listing in Google and how do you get into Google
quickly.

Lets
begin with the latter. You can submit your site using Googles submit site
tool but amazingly enough this is NOT the fastest way to get listed.

Here's
the secret to getting listed in Google like lightening: PRESS RELEASE'S

Yep
issue a press release relating to your website you will see your site in all
the major search engines in 3 or 4 days. Here's a link to one of my press
releases http://pressreleases.newspad.com/pr/20054/pr224817.html

To
issue a press release, go to http://prweb.com
it's free to do.

To
go about writing a press release there are two important things to remember.
1) Think like a journalist; 2) Read previous press releases to get ideas
from them. Do both these tasks and you wont go far wrong.

Ok
now that your sites in Google how are we going to get a top spot for
keywords related to our site. Well I'm afraid to tell you this is no easy
process it could possibly take months even years! But with some luck and the
right tools it is achievable.

There
are two keys to getting a high ranking 1) Your Keywords &

2) High Page Rank (Sites that already rank high in the search engines)
Websites Linking To Your Website

Lets
look at keywords first.

So
to go about finding keywords we are going to use some free tools

Overture

Wordtracker
- http://wordtracker.com

Using
these two tools you can search keywords related to your product/website
& find out which ones are searched a lot.

When
you gather 50 or 60 keywords go into Google and type in the search phrases
you have found. If there are over 6million results for your phrase my
opinion would be move on, there is too much competition for the phrase and
it would take either years of work or getting very lucky and having some
very powerful sites link to yours.

Focus
on phrases with less then 2million results in Google. These are the keywords
you need to focus on. Just check wordtracker and overture and make sure they
are getting some traffic every month.

Once
you have decided on your keywords. You need to make sure these keywords
feature all over the body of you website.

Make
sure to put the most searched keywords in your title & headings.

Now
you need to go about getting other websites to link to yours. You need to
find websites related to yours but sites that are not in competition with
and email the webmasters of these sites and ask them for a link.

To
find sites that will give you a link I recommend doing the following.

Find
a competitors website and find the sites that are linking to them. To do
this simply visit http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/

Type
in the website address of your competitor and you will be able to see all
the sites that link to them. These are the webmasters you need to contact.

Simply
write them a personalized email, complement their site and ask them for a
link exchange. If you can offer them something in return - even better!

I
hope this article will help you succeed in your search engine in driving
