This may be more information then you’re looking for, but you can find Google’s recommendations on how to do Google SEO for your site here: http://www.bergstrom-seo.com/resources/google-search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf. It’s a pretty long document (22 pages) but it tells you everything that you need to know about SEO.
The first thing you need to figure out is (a) what are people looking for. After you’ve got this figured out, then it’s time to write lots of articles, and post them all to your website. After you’ve got 10-15 pages, then it’s time to get back-links. The easiest ways are:
1. to write and submit press releases
2. post your (modified articles to blog and article submission sites). Make sure you link to yourself.
Once you’re got everything in the PDF completed, then it becomes a matter of writing more content, and getting more back-links. If you get tired, you can always get someone like us to help – you’ll find that good SEO companies will charge $600+ per month.

Directories are very popular and are widely used by people as a link building source, and when used in conjunction with keyword research tools they can provide a great ranking boost.

I think it’s important to teach kids and adults to review what we’ve been taught with a more inquisitive mind. There are many incidents in American history that are not anything like school teaches us.

I was on holidays when I noticed that you had referenced my site here. I did not have access to my e-mail and I began hoping for several comments to moderate when I got home. (Actually, I had better admit that I was hoping for LOTS!) When I got home, I was surprised at my disappointment when I discovered there were NO comments to moderate.

I would use google chrome if they had better webmaster extensions like firefox. Hopefully the Chrome developer community will catch up.
