You need to be sure your keywords are optimized for the content on your site.
Be sure that you have all the meta tags set, try to make them match the keywords, and your content should match those keywords also.
So lets say your title is "Optimize your website"
and you have a description of
"Learn how to optimize your website to obtain top listings in all search engines. We give you the tools to get in the top 10 searchs by optimizing your web pages."
You then need to create keywords that would match that, and keyword phrases..
How do you know what keywords might be best, you can do a search for words or phrases that you would like to be found under, look at the meta tags of the top 10 listed sites, you can do that by going to the web page going to the view then source, look at the meta tags at the top.
Another thing to do, create new content on a regular basis, articles, blog, etc.
Submit to search engines, one tool I used to use alot was free
http://www.addme.com
will submit to other search engines.
If you write articles, or tips etc, then you can also help folks here and create links to your articles so.. someone like you asking.. this question, if I created articles and had a website, I could say and if you need more help or want more info, you can check out my articles and help on my web site. This creates links from heavy hitter webpages like Yahoo, and that helps your traffic and ranking.
So I also recomend starting a link trade page, and there are some online programs for that, basically you want one that takes care of monitoring if someone is still linking to you or not, and will not create the link until both parties have the link pointing to the other page on their link page.
Always put meta tags and titles on all of your pages
Do not repeat over and over keywords in the keyword meta tag, but do try to get those keyword phrases and words in your content.
Another site to check out is
www.alexa.com
The last thing that I can say is that, it is a time consuming job.. takes some time, and work if you are not looking to pay tons of money. You can do it, I had one site that was ranked higher than yahoo.ca on alexa.com at one point, under 90k. This was about 4 years ago.
Hope this helps some, there is tons of info and tools out there to use. If you want instant traffic and do not mind spending a little money, then you can use yahoo ads and google ads to pay per click on targeted searches.
A good thing to think of on this, is think of your top competitor that you want to take traffic from.. so lets say you just made a brand new vacume and the name is not known, and you want to start getting sales.. you could think of top names, matter of fact find out what the top name searched for is for vacumes, and lets say its Kirby, so you would create keywords that are top searches for Kirby vacumes, find out what folks are paying per click and bid above them so you are the top spot ad for those keyword searches, now your ad is competing for searches on your competition name, and since your name is not know you still come up in front of what folks are looking for... a vacume, sure it may be a kirby, but you still might get some sales from your ad, as folks are usually researching.
Again hope this helps, lots of info here..
P.S the site I did and store I ran was..
www.umbrellapets.com grin some third party took the name and is holding it since I did not renew the name, when I went to see how much they were asking to get the domain back as there were new owners of the store, they were asking thousands for the domain name. So the new owners created their new domain under www.umbrellapetservices.ca Store is in Canada.

There is no right answer as there are a number of factors involved. In some cases, a website can rank for a highly competitive keyword phrase with just a handful of links while another website may take years before it achieves ranking for the same phrase with hundreds or even thousands of links. It depends on links, the age of your domain, trust factor, frequency and percentage of changes, relevancy and so on. There are literally over one hundred different factors involved in ranking, so just focus on building quality links and developing original content, and over time you will get the results you're looking for.

most sites let you enter search strings so your site pops up, make your search strings very specific.
