cash money! the way that the google engine works is it takes relevant information from the search and your website and puts it into a matrix which figures it out. (very very complex, thats why they are so rich.) It might also take into account the traffic to your web site, so unless you pay for google ads or someone types in exact phrases from your web site, it will be hard for results to come to the top.
You will need to optimize your website, and work on a link building campaign. If you choose to optimize your own site, here are a few sites where you can learn more: http://www.seomoz.org http://www.seochat.com http://www.seobook.com You can also outsource your SEO efforts, but it can be costly to find a reputable SEO consultant. And just a warning, there are tons of SEO's out there that promise the world. Just remember, noone can guarantee #1 ranking on any search engine, so be careful when SEO's make "too good to be true" promises for $99.99... Good luck...
What you are talking about is SEO which is search engine optimization. Basically it just means that you are optimizing your website for the search engines. Now how you go about doing this is going to depend a lot on what your site is about. What keywords do you want associated with your site? What is your site's ranking now? Here is one of my blogs: http://adsenseconsultant.blogspot.com I have had this blog for just about 4 months and already it is on page 2 of google's search engines when a certain keyword phrase is used. Sometimes my blog will appear on page one but it varies with it usually being on page 2. Now there are a lot of different people giving a lot of different advice as to how to make your site rank higher on the search engines. My personal experience is that a lot of it depends on the contents of your site and the keywords that you want your site to be associated with.
The absolute best way to rank well in search engines is to provide quality content within your website - content that your targeted audience is interested in. They'll come back to your site often, tell a few friends about your site... The next best way is to have other websites link to your site - also known as one-way links, or backlinks. This is accomplished by other webmasters learning of your site, thinking it is of value to their audience, and placing a link to your site within their site. This is also accomplished by contacting webmasters of complimentary websites and asking for a reciprical link - where you each put a link to each others site within your sites. This technique, however, is not as popular as it used to be due to the work required as well as the unfavorability of the other sites involved. Your website needs to be completely optimized for your readers. Give them good content and provide easy navigation. As far as the search engines are concerned, if your readers are happy, the search engines will be too. However, there are some code issues that should be addressed: Have a good Title tag, have your css and javascript in external files, don't have a flashy intro page.

There is no easy way to get your site a high ranking. 1) Target the right keywords. Target the wrong keyword phrases and your online business is destined to fail. 2) Don't use keywords or phrases that are too broad. The competition is too fierce, and research has shown that though you will get more traffic through general phrases, that traffic doesn't convert to sales. All of the traffic in the world will do you no good if it doesn't convert to sales! 3) Optimize your page content. Target each Web page to a different and highly focused keyword phrase. In other words, your main page should be optimized for one keyword phrase. Are the keywords used relative to the site's overall content? Do you use too many keywords, or too few?

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages. Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using such "generic" queries will not be able to discover your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website, in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable. You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the Internet audience and their incoming setup. For example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages take too long to load up and therefore analog users will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple question, "Who's my end user - is he on dialup or DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users for maximum marketability, then select analog users since 80% of most resident users are still analog Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages is best for them. A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots. Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material. Placement of Metatags: A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name. The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one's goods and services. And the very last category - "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google's spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory. Here's an example of a very highly-placed website on Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query "sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4 million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net" is ranked. It's on the SECOND FRONT [ranked 15]! Again, Nazos.net's high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Google's publication guidelines. Good luck!
