Ranking high on Google SERP using Search Engine Optimization(SEO) techniques have changed a lot over the years. As a matter of fact, good solid SEO practices have remained stable and work better today than in years past because so many others keep trying to cheat Google search engine and Google respond to hate this kind of tricky techniques. This leads you to gain the rewards if you apply SEO methods that Google loves. Nowadays, Google and other popular search engines rely their ranking algorithms mostly on content (that contain your best keyword, but not the META keywords tag) and inbound links.

Having said that here are the simple way to achieve the top ranking on Google and other search engines :

1. Write good quality content by placing your keywords just right in your page’s content
Always remember, Content is King! Search engine friendly blog content, optimized for real people, is the key to your success. The latest technology of Google search engine can read a page as natural text algorithms in nanoseconds and decide whether your pages were for real people or just to get better search engine ranking. But really you need both! With the following tip, you can easily get them :

a. Review your content text and place your top keyword as close to the beginning of the opening sentence of your content as possible.

b. Place just one instance of your keyword in the next few paragraphs, anywhere they fit well. So if you have six more paragraphs before the final, each keyword should be three times total (once in paragraph 1, twice in the remaining 6 paragraphs with one mention of a single keyword in each paragraph.)

c. For the last paragraph, do the opposite of what you did for the first paragraph and place your most important keyword toward the end of the sentence. This shows the search engine consistency of topic.

d. Last but not least, don’t repeat any keyword more than four times per page and always let the text flow naturally.

2. Get and manage quality inbound links
Getting and maintaining high quality inbound links typically accounts for more than 80% of today’s search engine optimization success on Google. Getting these links is the crucial step that will get you over the top and keep you there.

3.) Check and monitor your progress and your competitors
After doing the forementioned techniques, you also need to monitor your progress and your site’s status including ranking and how search engines really see it. This will tell you more than just where you are but also where you are likely to be. My recommendation is finding a good SEO tool that does the heavy lifting and time consuming work for you. I use one called iBusinessPromoter because it has automated linking, which is the most time-consuming aspect of in applying SEO efforts. Besides, this powerful SEO tool also has features to find the best link partners, do automates link process, provides great site monitoring and ultimately bring you to the top ranking on Google.
