Search engines look at the following factors in ranking websites, though in varying degrees of importance:
- Age
- Relevance and Uniqueness of the Content
- Keyword density
- How it fares in the results
- Site structure
- Backlinks
If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm
WebmasterWorld.com http://www.webmasterworld.com has different sections that cover various aspects of search engine optimization, and each section is participated in by respected webmasters and even search engine employees (e.g. there's a GoogleGuy that responds to Google topics)
Other resources that can help you get top ranking in the search engines are:

Google only updates the visible page rank once a quarter. They are not always on time, but we are within a week or two of the next "scheduled" update. Your new site may already have page rank, but you won't be seeing green in the PageRank option of the Google Toolbar until they do another update.

If only.... Search engines run on money. But they will tell you, that if your site is popular, you will get higher on the list. But greasing the palms will always win.
