So in this particular article lets discuss some basics that one has to follow to get indexed and rank well in Google.
A]Let's start with a website that is fresh,completely new and has just got it's w3c certification done.How are you going to get it indexed by Google so that it cache's your content on a regular update.There has always been countless discussions by people regarding this particular topic,yet the problem hasn't faded away.The concept isn't still clear to all.So I just felt to put in three simple steps that would help out the newbies with their websites.
1)First, make sure that your web site mentions the phrases you would reasonably expect an interested party to search for, as regular text in your HTML, not as a picture of text.
2)Submitting your site to Google is not recommended at all and considered a flaw in SEO because this way you are actually telling Google yourself that your site is "new" on the internet.Remember, Google is not just another search engine. Instead it's based on a lot more complex and "logical" algorithm.
*-The Mistake that people basically do is adding the website to Google using their Add URL page.
3)Ask the webmasters of related web pages and sites to link to your pages, and encourage your readers to link to your site. This will bring people in directly, and it will also allow search engines like Google to find you.
B]Now once you get going you would obviously want to feature in the Good Books of Google so that every time it's spiders crawls it caches your page.To get it done on a consistent basis you have got to understand the modus of search operandi of the spiders.
Google Results are based on 4 major criteria
1)Keyword density
The density of keyword affects the ranking of your page. The higher the keyword density the higher is your rank so one should always include a 30-40 word paragraph containing key-word rich content, thus increasing the keyword density.
2)Keyword prominence
The keywords you have chosen should appear in title, Meta and H tags with some occurrence in the body also. So you should not define Google without putting the word Google in the body of the definition. This means H and P tags should go hand shaking with each other.
3)Page rank and back links
The more site links to your site better is the page rank of your site and more relevant your site is. Google also takes into consideration the words [or Anchor text] that appear in your back links
Code:
Click Here is less relevant than
Example of Google
4)Content
Some say that the Content of your site is the king, but for me it’s actually the crown which the webmaster wears if his site has the right content. Build the content and users will be interested just be reading it.
Once you successfully optimize for Google there would be one final frontier that you would have to conquer for making your website a grand success and that is traffic.Once that is achieved your website will start featuring in the front page of Google for the keywords you have and hence start getting more traffic and visitors.Here are some simple steps follow them and simply implement them when you do the seo for your website.
1) Insert keywords at right place on your meta tags.
2) Name your Images with Descriptive Titles and alt text.
3) Use relevant text on your website.
4) Use Ad sense to assess overall content relevance.
5) Optimize Your Title and Meta tags.
6) Use anchor text keywords in links.
7) Submit your website to search engines and directories.
8) Content updates
9) Internal Linking Structure
10) Link Building { One Way , Two Way and three way }
11) Article Posting
12) Press Releases
13) Forums Postings
14) Advertising
15) Google Site map Creation and setup
16) Blogs creation
17) Make some videos and submit them to the larger video sharing sites like Youtube.
18) Take part in social bookmark sites. These can get some good quick traffic (don't spam).
19) Pay for direct advertising on sites that are on the same subject as yours.
20) Take part in PPC advertising including Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft adcenter and etc..
21) Make an affiliate program for your website
22) Do viral marketing by producing something with your sites link attached.
23) Include your sites link in the signature of any emails that you send to people.
24) Produce some business cards and get them distributed.
25) Mention your website to your friends and family and ask them to pass it on to others (Word of mouth advertising).
So coming to the end of the article I sum it up as my experience.I am into this game since the last year and I feel it is better to learn the game instead of being taught about it.Go ahead try the steps that I have mentioned.I doubt anybody would be unsuccessful.I wouldn't say I have mastered the field of SEO.but I have gained considerably by following these steps AND ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING-PATIENCE.Without it you will fail miserably.

Affiliates and Their Commissions
By: MarketRaise Corp | 06/09/2007 | Affiliate Programs
t is a known fact that the web and the internet fraternity is the largest in the world.Almost every corner on planet earth boasts of an internet user.There are millions of activities and stuff on the web that is unknown to more then half of internet users.You have services and products you would want to sell and there is someone who needs it badly yet the two of you cannot patch up-reason-lack of communication or unaware of each other's presence.It is here that an Affiliate comes to play.An Affiliate is a person who recommends your products and services online to people who need them,and if a deal is struck the Affiliate is paid a commission in return.Commissions do vary from merchant to merchant.Some times a percentage is fixed as the commission rate or some times a share is provided.Many people term an Affiliate as an online vendor,which is practically incorrect.A vendor is termed as someone who exchanges goods or services for money. One that sells or vends: a street vendor; a vendor of software products on the Web. Simply put, this is the seller of any number of goods of any possible type. From topsoil to cars, new homes to pets, the person doing the selling is the vendor. Traditionally, he/she is selling goods that they may or may not have produced or manufactured themselves.Where as an Affiliate are people having an agreement with a seller (vendor) to represent (sell) his or her product within the terms that the seller has dictated in exchange for remuneration (payment) of some type, normally a percentage of the sale.”
