One of Google's top engineers, Matt Cutts, gives his advice on top rankings

Even really small web sites can make it big with SEO
Tina, from Bunnylodge.co.uk had a log cabin in Lincolnshire she wanted to rent out but her web site was letting her down badly. In 9 months she'd not had one enquiry and only had 95 visitors to the site (click the first screenshot below). To say her online marketing supplied by her previous web design company was a joke is an understatement.
After a re-design and some SEO magic we've changed her views of the internet completely. Her lodge is now kept full - all year round - thanks to her rankings in Google (SERPS) and the 1,000's of visitors they send her (click the second screenshot below).
8 Times return On Investment In Just 7 Months
Look at what she wrote to us just 7 months after switching to us:
The web site was so successful she bought another lodge
Just under a year later we received this email:
"Due to the success of the web site we have invested the money in another cabin at Kenwick No 83 this one has three bedrooms so at some stage will need you to amend details on the web site, might need some more photos done. This cabin will be big enough for your family if you fancy a break." - Tina Barr Bunnylodge.co.uk
7 Common Reasons why websites fail to show up in the rankings are:
Google doesn’t even know the site exists - The web works on links, so if your site is new Google won't know about it until you provide links from authority sites or by adding your URL here: http://www.google.com/addurl
The web site is not Search Engine Friendly - If your on page optimisation is not set up properly you can't expect the search engines to guess what your page is about.
Welcome or splash pages - You know the ones where they are some fancy graphic saying 'welcome' and then there's a button which usually says 'click to enter'. DON'T DO THIS because it annoys search engine spiders and humans too as there's no relevant content and just another anoying click to make.
Robots.txt file set up to tell the search engines not to index the site - If you're not sure what this is just Google it for an explanation. There's been more than a few times a client has been desperately trying to get ranked in the search engines and done all the hard work but without any listings. A few minutes here and miraculously the site suddenly appears and starts ranking.
Sometimes the server where your site is hosted isn't configured properly - This can be a real nuisance as most often when you look at your site in your browser all looks good, but the search engine spiders can't visit your site. Go to: http://whois.domaintools.com/ add your domain and then look for the server status tab. If it returns 'Response Code: 200' then all is well.
The site is mainly Flash or image based - Search engine spiders were built to index html text, so building your site with images or Flash makes your content virtually invisible, and if there's no information to go on the search engines won't list you - To see if your text has been created using images just hover over the text and try and copy a sentence. If you can't it's image based.
Duplicate or non original content - If your website is made up of copy found on lots of other web sites, then Google may decide there's no point having more than 1 copy - Check whether your copy is original: http://www.copyscape.com/
The main problem is that no one really knows exactly how Google decides where to rank your site and when it will show up.
There are many ‘experts’ out there who will claim to understand how Google’s ranking system works and will guarantee you the top spot…normally for a hefty fee. But if they do, they are being far from truthful.
