Google is one of the best and more popular Search Engines. As a lot of people use google, if your blog or website is not listed with it, you will miss a lot of visitors.
I read these tips on how to improve your ranking with Google in the book "Building your website for dummies" by David Crowder.
- make sure that the important terms describing your site (the ones you think people will use as search terms when they are hunting for information on Google) appear in both your page title and in the first paragraph of your web page.
- use the same words at least a few times elsewhere on the page, but don't go hop wild - if you overdo it you will lower your ranking.
- Break up your page's text by using heading elements that contain key phrases. Google pays more attention to these than normal text.
- if, for some reason, your page design can't utilize heading elements, then use B (bold text) element to emphasize your keywords.
- exchange links with other Webmasters, especially with those who already have a high Google ranking.
Using search sites isn't the only way of getting the word out, though. You can also work out reciprocal link arrangements with other websites, either on a personal level or or through the agency of a banner-link exchange.
