When in comes to making money on the internet search engine rankings mean everything. The more visitors you attract to your site, the more revenue you will make. Whether you sell products or make revenue from paid advertising the more people you attract to your site and the more money you will see. There are many methods to getting high rankings on Google but there are some basic principals that must be followed. Google overall is the hardest search engine to rank highly on. Google combines multiple factors that play an important role to ranking on the first page for your desired keyword or key phrases. The first and foremost factor is the quality of your website. When people ask me how I score so highly on Google I give them this advice. Build a better website than your competitors and you will rank higher. Include more information, have the freshest information and above all don't stop until you reach that number one spot. For the most part, the harder the keyword you're trying to rank the more lucrative it is once you have accomplished it. So what are the main factors to attaining a number one ranking on Google? The main factors in attaining top rankings are; quality and number of incoming links, site content updates, the size of your site, the amount of fresh resourceful information that you display, and how you optimize your site.

For simplicities sake I am going to use a vacuum cleaner site as my example, and the keywords I want to rank highly for are “vacuum cleaner reviews”. If you type these keywords into the Google search box it lists that there are 11,000,000 relevant sites that contain something about vacuum cleaner reviews. Not all these sites are built around these keywords but they are relevant to these keywords. Knowing this we have established our competition. After your site has been optimized, you'll want to start link building. There are many different kinds of links but for Google we are going to concentrate on one way incoming links. These are sites that link to you with no links back. The best way to get the most quality links is to create articles with your keywords embedded in them with a link back to your site. These articles can be distributed to many places on the internet, some examples would be news sites, forums, blogs and article directories. Write as many good, quality articles as you can and distribute them to as many places as you can. This can be time consuming and mind numbing but it is the best way to get quality incoming links. For our example you could review vacuum cleaners and post them as articles. By doing this you will have relative content on the senders side of the incoming link.

Size does matter when it comes to ranking highly on Google. If you're building a vacuum cleaner site for example, build the site big enough to encompass everything there is to know about vacuum cleaners. You could add content such as vacuum cleaner reviews, ratings, the history of the vacuum cleaner and much more. I always tell people that if you're going to do something, do it big, and don't stop until you get what you want. The more pages of good information you have on vacuums the more relevant your site will become to Google.

Fresh quality content is a must for any successful website. Copied material will not get you to number one. Google expresses a heavy emphasis on fresh text and lots of it. Make sure to write articles for your site, and give back to the people that visit it. If someone types in vacuum cleaner reviews and enters your site, reward them with the best and the most in depth reviews they have ever seen. The buzz will soon start and people will rant about your site. I always say that you get back whatever you put into your website. Keep your audience captivated with fresh up to date material that is the most relevant to the keywords you want.

The last factor to ranking highly on Google is how you optimize your website. Keep focus on every page to what the title and description of the page is. If your page title is vacuum cleaner reviews make sure that every bit of information on your page at least has something to do with vacuum cleaners. Your page will not be ranked if your page gets out of focus. Also make sure that every link to and from your page has relevance to the page. It won't do you any good to have an incoming link from a diet site to your vacuum site on Google.

The factors that I have gone over are the basics on ranking highly on Google. The information that I have given is meant to be tweaked because the search engine algorithms are ever changing. If you build your website on these fundamentals your site will rank highly and be very successful. Always remember that the best site always wins in the end, and what you put into your site you will always get out of it. Be motivated and patient because sometimes it takes time to get the tings that are worth having, and most of all, never give up.
