Ranking high in the search engines, however, is a tougher ballgame. Search engines look at the following factors in ranking websites, though in varying degrees of importance:
- Age = an older site stand a higher chance of getting better rankings than newer sites because they are more established (especially if considered an authority in the field) and a lot more incoming links
- Quality and Uniqueness of the Content = sites rank well if they have content that users consider relevant and original, not rehashed or using content used by hundred other websites (e.g. articles in article submission directories)
- Keyword density = number of times the keyword appears on the site. This also includes having the keywords in important places such as the title, metatags, even H1s and H2s
- How it fares in the results = when it comes up in the search engines, are people clicking on it or not. If not, search engines consider the site to be not relevant to the keyword. Also, how long does the user stay on the site; if they hit the back button immediately, then the site may not be relevant to the search term
- Site structure = on-page factors to sitemaps
- Backlinks = who are linking to the site and what are their quality (the more authoritative the site linking to your site, the better).
To get backlinks, you can either send an email request to related websites, use an automated tool (which many just delete), write articles or issue press releases.

Put your website on every invoice, business card, letter ect just make sure you put it on everything you do and mention it to eveyone you meet- word of mouth is the best but you have to start it off! Good luck!

It doesn't exactly inspire confidence in whatever you're selling when you can't even get a link right!
