This is a small Tutorial on what "I" did to get known on google.
Although this may be common sense, I'd still like to share my steps
with everyone as it may be useful to someone.
1) Choosing A Domain Name:
Choosing your Domain Name, is of course very important as you may already
know. But, don't just think about something that is catchy, or something
that sounds good. You need to think of it more for marketing.
A big part of your marketing is your keyword. Your keywords play a huge rule
in your site in many ways, which I'll talk about later.
So, let's say you are making a website about Computers.
Obviously the hardest keyword would be "Computers".
That's okay, don't be afraid. Although you have alot of competition for
that keyword, I can tell you how to move up quick.
When you hunt for a Domain Name, make sure you use your keyword.
(For Example: ComputerTech.com, StealthComputers)
Involve your site around that keyword, it needs to be a big focus point.
2) Your Website Meta Keywords/Description:
As I said before, Keywords need to be a main objective.
Trust me, If you spend time on this, you'll possibly see yourself
on the first spot of google pages.
Use as many keywords as you can for your site. Don't be afraid to put
something down that doesn't exactly match your site. Here is a site that I've found pretty useful for things like this. (

Give nice thought to your description. When people search your keywords,
those keywords some of the time are highlighted or made bold in the description you have put. So, use as many keywords as you can
in the description for best results.
3) Advertising Your Site:
Advertise your site, do not spam... yet!
What you want is backlinks that will stick and become useful.
Find forums that are related to your keyword and talk a bit.
You don't have to spam them with "Hey come to my site".
They don't want to hear that. They don't like to see someone join their
forum, make 1 post telling people to join your site and that's it.
I've come up with a better way around this.
Insert your backlink in your signature!
Make sure when making the backlink to name it to the main keyword you
are trying to become successful with the most. Now, after you've made 10 or so replies, trust me, it will be more successful then spamming a forum
with threads. Most of the time staff will just remove threads like that.
Remember, although sites that doesn't have many members does count
as a backlink, thats good, but waiting later on to hit those small sites would
be alot better. Stick to the sites at first that get most traffic etc..
4) Buying Backlinks:
I'll be honest with you...
Buying backlinks do help. They helped me quite a bit actually.
Although, it did nothing like a real human could do though, So don't
rely on them for advertising etc..
Make sure, when and if you purchase backlinks to order them keyword
directed. Meaning, you only want them to post on blogs that are associated
with your keywords. You want your Domain Name to show up on google,
but you don't want tons of shitty backlinks that ultimatly won't stay.
5) Get Social:
Get Social!
What I mean by this is, spreading the word doesn't hurt.
Spreading the word over social networks doesn't hurt at all.
Make your account names as your Domain Name.
Make a facebook account, myspace, digg, twitter, reddit, youtube and there are many many more!
Keep giving it your all and focusing on those keywords and you'll
be at the top spots on google in no time!
Sorry, I didn't put alot of time into this tutorial.
I wrote down what worked for me. If you find it useful, good for you.
Maybe this will help someone out.
Enjoy guys!
