Answer 2

Choose your Meta Tags Carefully, And USE them Properly.

Set a Metatag for ALL Relevant content on your site. And aet the Revisit tags to the approximate time you think appropriate. Like If you Update your Website Once a month, Set Revisit to 30 days.

Also consider Banner Exchange programs on similar sites.

Unfortunatly Reaching the "TOP" of search engines Usually requires a good dose of Pocket Greasing.

Answer 3

It also depends on Page rank and how you are affiliated with organizations with higher page rank besides the fluency of your meta tags and linkup of the site itself.

You get more people to visit it by telling them to go (obviously). How you do that depends on your advertising budget. You can have referral system, "goodies", link sites, and so on.
