As an Internet marketer, one of the key priorities is to get your site to rank highly on the search engines. When discussing about search engine optimization, two things are of paramount importance - the content on your website and the number of quality backlinks you have. There may be a few other minor factors to consider, but the two aforementioned factors are the two things you'd want to concentrate on. So do you "conquer" the search engines and achieve sky high rankings? In this article, I will highlight to you some methods which you can use to hit a "home run" in the search engines:

1. Make sure your content is unique and "scrapped" from other sites. Not only will this cause plagiarism issues, but search engines do recognize duplicate content and punish it from time to time.

2. Use a good keyword density in your content. Let's say you want your website to rank highly for the term "golf equipment". You'd want to include the phrase "golf equipment" throughout your content occasionally. Do it sparingly and don't overdo it as the search engines may think you are trying to trick the system. A good keyword density to aim for is 2% to 5%, which means for every words on the page, 2 to 5 may contain your keyword phrase.

3. Consistently build on the number of backlinks you have coming to your site. Backlinks simply means incoming links which point to your site from other websites. You can trade links with other webmasters, buy links, include your site in article directories and make forum posts. Those are proven ways to get backlinks quickly.

So there you have it. Getting a good search engine ranking doesn't have to be hard. But too many people get caught up in the beginning with all the complicated factors and lose sight of what really works. Keep it simple first, and once you've seen your site shoot up the rankings, some additional tactics may come in handy. But we'll save those for another article!
