First, identify the keywords you want your site to show up for. You should target the most relevant keywords related to your website, but make sure to choose keywords that are actually searched on. Use inventory.overture.com, wordtracker.com, or keyworddiscovery.com to research the best keywords for your site.
Then make sure your website has plenty of content related to your chosen keywords. You should continually add fresh, new content to your site as often as possible. A blog is a great way to do this. It can also be done with some other kind of CMS, or by simply creating new HTML pages. Be sure to include the keywords you're trying for in the title, headings and of course within the page content itself. Be sure your site uses a text link navigation system with links to all the various pages of your site.
The final, and perhaps most difficult step in getting that top search engine ranking you're looking for is to obtain as many high-quality links to your website as possible. The search engines will determine your site's ranking in large part by the number and quality of links to your site. A very important part of this is to be sure that the links also include keywords within the text of the link. Use different variations of your keywords in the text links to give the search engines an accurate picture of what your site is about. Be sure to continually get new links to your site. As you're starting out, you'll need to beg, barter, buy, or do whatever possible to get links. Once your site is more established, you'll start to get links from all over just because you provide quality content in your industry. Be sure to optimize any new pages that are added to the site and continue to add more links to your site each month.

Have keywords that appear in the first paragraph of your website in which you introduce yourself or your business.
Have your site title be descriptive and focused. I'm a real estate investor in Asheville NC so my title says that...not just real estate investor.
Make sure your site is relevant to the topic and you update your site every other month...fresh content helps improve your rankings.

i have not done it myself but ive gone to internet workshops in the past and the method they all have suggested is the more websites you have linked to you, and that you're linked to, the higher on the search results you go.
