Hi Susan: The 4 most effective methods and considerations, in order of ranking, for increasing your hit level and search engine status are as follows: 1. LINKS: The more links to you site, from other sites, the higher the Google rating. It can be increase fastest by actively talking people into linking to you from their sites. The higher rated the site that connects to you has the better 'ranking; you receive. 2. LONGEVITY: The longer your site has been around the more status you accumulate and therefore the higher the ranking. (Note; the longer you register your site for the better the ranking as short-term registered sites can be considered spam type sites.) 3. RELATED and FRESH CONTENT: Does your site have content related to your primary focus and is your content beginning updated on a regular schedule. 4. TEXT: Do not use entrance or Flash pages as they do not count for anything. The more text information you have on your entrance pages the better the ranking. (Note: never use Flash as anything more than 'eye-candy' as there is not way for web bots to rate Flash content.) There are a few other recommendations for improving your site status and therefore hit count but these are the biggies.
