1. Get a high Page Rank in Search Engines. It is important to optimize your website for best results:
Title Meta Tags should include your website's top keywords. For example, if you have a Hawaii travel site it should include the keywords: Hawaii travel
Description Meta Tags should also include the same keywords
Keyword Meta Tags should include your keywords in various forms, but not more than 5 times, otherwise; the search engines will penalize you for spam. For example; cheap Hawaii travel, airfare to Hawaii, Hawaii hotels, cheap travel, Hawaii vacations,
Use the Alt tags of images to emphasize your keywords. For example, a picture of palm tree could be alt="Hawaii travel plan"
Submit to search engines monthly, but not more than that, unless you make major changes to content. Be economical, buy and use your own software to submit to search engines. For example, Advanced Site Submitter software submits to the main 66 search engines.( see http://www.webmastersprofitpak.net)
