How To Rank Number 1 for Keywords, The Guide

Usually, people cram a bunch of "fluff" at the beginning of a post, but instead I'll just cut right to the chase. Your wondering how to rank #1 for search engine results for specific keywords? It's not as hard as you think, and you may find some information here that you didn't think about before.

Let's say for example, you wanted to rank #1 for the keywords "make money online" like many of other online money making people want to do. It's not too hard really, basically what you want to do is to get other people to write content on their websites which points to your website, and when they write it they need to insert the keywords of "make money online" somewhere within the article that links to your site.

• Ask people to write a review about your website and/or product for a chance to win a cash prize. For example, write an article on your website asking people to write a review on THEIR website for a chance to win $200. People like money, and writing an article that takes them 5 minutes for a chance to win the cash prize is pretty easy. If your site is about "making money online" you can bet that they will say that in some shape or form in their article.
• Write a e-book, or even a real book, and make sure it actually has good information in it. Why? Because you want people to write about it, but not because your literally trying to sell the book, but another reason altogether. What is this book going to be called? Anything basically that sounds good, just make sure it has the keywords "make money online" in the title. For example, "A Newbie Guide to Making Money Online" or "Nine Steps of Making Money Online Successfully", etc. Why is this important? Because when people write on their blog/site "check out this book, it's called 'Nine Steps of Making Money Online Successfully' which was very helpful, and it's free!". The keywords are stuffed right in there, nice and cozy like.
• Get a domain name that has "make money online" in it. You know as well as I do, that having this is a very helpful tool in ranking #1 for your keyword(s). Is www.makemoneyonline.com taken? Then if your really keen on still having those keywords, try something like www.makemoneyonlinewithus.com or something of that nature. You think it's a stinky website address? No biggie, just write some general content on there about your keywords, then forward it to your REAL website.
• Every so often while your writing about making money online you should bold it, or use header tags (aka H1, H2, etc). Do NOT go wild with this, only do this every now and then. For example, if you have a 4 paragraph article, I would only do this a maximum of 1-2 times in the article.
• Use SHORT URL's to rank better. For example, your site is www.yoursite.com/make-money-online.html. It's very straight-forward for search engines to read, and it's not cluttered with a bunch of numbers and other useless information that search engines either get confused over, or just outright disregard.
• Don't spam your site to death with your keywords, search engines dislike that and may rank you lower in organic search results because of that fact. Be natural, and be original. On top of that, don't cram as many PPC and affiliate ads on your site, it's well-believed that having too many ads on your site can actually lower your organic search results because search engines will consider your site an affiliate trap.
• Use Social News sites, such as Digg. Your not really using it to drive traffic to your site, that's only a plus. Your using it to strategically tuck that "make money online" into your article header and information. For example, you Digg an article named "Bob Made $40,000 last month from making money online". Yes, that's a generic example, but you get the point. Don't forget about doing the same type of thing with Youtube and other sites like that. If it's free and/or cheap, and allows you to add your link in there, do it.
