   1) Make sure your web site content is specific do not use generalized terms.
   2) Use as many alternate words for the same product/service as would be commonly used in a search for this product.
   3) Make sure these key words are on your home page
   4) Make sure these words are in HTML text not pictures or flash or java script etc
   5) Get listed on free business directories
   etc…

   i think some of the most beneficial one are the popups, some companies pay so much to display popup on your website.

   2> Add content into your website that just attracts the vistor to read more, learn from what yahoo7 does. I always fall; they have tv guide, top 10 latest news, some beautiful women, some of greatest wallpapers, current gossips, new interesting facts… Something that makes viewers stay longer then hit ‘em with subscription.. or more ads

   1). Community Creation in Social Networking (Web 2.0 - Participatory Web like Orkut, Myspace, Facebook, Linked In, Ecademy, etc.)

   2). Blog Posting & Commenting in “Do-Follow” Blogs

   3). Guest Blogging - Hire a guest blogger for your blog and ask them to write precise and unique content. So that your blog will gain more credits on SE point of view.

   4). Search Engine Submission ( Submit your site to most popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, Lycos, Excite, Alltheweb, etc.)

   5). Directory Submission (Submit your websites to top most directories like DMOZ, Yahoo Directory, ZoomInfo, etc.)

   6). Do some Social Bookmarking in popular bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Stumble Upon, Propeller, etc. (Tagsonomy & Folksonomy)

   6). Link Exchange with relevant sites (Thematic Link Exchange)

   7). Link Baiting - You do it for others & let others do it for you, if your content seems to be valid & trust worthy.

   8). Cross-Linking (Internal Linking) - Best example is Wikipedia. This is to increase your link popularity

   9). Forum Postings - Post / Reply a thread in “Do-Follow” Forums

   10). Business Listings (Entrepreneur, Industry specific, Business Associations & Chambers Listings)

   11). Video Promotions (Youtube, Metacafe, Dailymotion, etc.)

   12). Business Reviews in major review sites like RateitAll, Kaboodle, Stylefeeder, etc.

   13). Local Listings & Yellow Pages - Submit your site locally so that SE’s can view & fetch easily like Google Local, Maps, Yahoo Local, Yelp, Yellow Pages, Hotfrog, Superpages, etc.

   14). Article Submission - Write articles of your own and submit in popular article sites like Ezine, Go Articles, Now Public, Buzzle, etc. This will help you to attain some deep links for your website (but a slower process)

   15). Press Release Submission - If you’re a business service provider then go for PR submission in popular PR websites like 1888pressrelease, Open PR, PR Leap, etc. This will help you to publish your site in Google News.

   16). Classifieds Submission - Do some classifieds submission to advertise your products free. Try Craigslist and other major classifieds sites Kugli, Myspace, iMadespace, Vivastreet, etc.

   17). Social Shopping Network - If you owns a e-commerce website this will be more helpful to advertise and brand your products easily for free. Submit your products to Google Product Search , Yahoo Online Shopping, MSN Online Shopping, and other major sociall shopping network sites like Kaboodle, Style Feeder, Wists, Ohmybuzz, etc.

   18). Photo Sharing - Share your product pictures and make them public. Let your friends se it and rate it too (Flicker, Picassa, Photo Bucket, Picli, etc.)

   19). Do participate in Answers by answering relevant questions and place a link of your website in the source section if necessary. This is one of the best way to increase your link popularity (Yahoo Answers, Cha-Cha, Answer Bag, etc.)

   20). Document Sharing (Google Docs, Slide Share, etc.)

   21) Submit your website in CSS, RSS & W3C website Directories

   22). Widget / Gadget Development - Develop some Widget / Gadget applications (Poll, Game Widgets) for your website in Facebook, Myspace and make them public. Let your friends and others Vote / Play it and you’ll get visits.

   23). Try to get a content link from the sites / blogs related to your site theme. That is getting a link from middle of their site content with your anchor text (like Wikipedia). We know that it is hard to get but it is more natural and has more weight age in the search engine point of view.

   24). If none of these works, go for PPC (Adwords) Ad campaign with your targetted keywords.

   Please Note: You have to be very careful while doing these things. Don’t spam or over do it. Whatever you do just plan and execute it. Otherwise you’ll get adverse effects.

   Good Luck!
