The most important thing you can do is, you please ensure and carefully research your keywords, identifying the phrases most likely used to find your Web site.

Choose high PR sites and Try building more back links with your chosen keyword as your anchor text.

Keep your content as unique and fresh. Do Social Bookmarking and other link-building strategies.

 

Agree with it.

Well for me, Keywords are most important factor for ranking, If you have good keywords a just little effort will take you rank good in SERPs

 

So many reason for ranking like good Keywords in the Content, High PR backlinks, Anchor Text are top factors for seo ranking.

 

1. Content: Try to write as much content (with quality) for your website. You can either write a blog or update your website pages internally; OR you can also participate in guest blogging and article submission to market your content. Quality content improves your on-page SEO as well as it makes your site more authoritative (specially for Google).

2. Title tag: One of the most important influencing factor on website ranking is title tag. Write a "call-to-action" website titles and within character limit of 70. You can target 2-3 keyword phrases in each page (as long as the keywords are present in page content.

3. H1 & H2 tags: Using proper headings is also vital and has a huge impact on SERPs.

4. Backlinks: I would say what most SEO pros use to say; "always" go for quality link rather than quantity.

Hope this helps.

 

The important factor is content as it is king for SEO.

 

So, its only content, keywords and proper backlinks are the only factors that will influence SEO results? What about W3C Standards, Social Media and bookmarking kind of stuff?

 

Various different type of factors are influences the SEO ranking.
Most of the factors are:-

Keyword Focused Anchor Text from External Links
External Link Popularity (quantity/quality of external links)
Diversity of Link Sources (links from many unique root domains)
Keyword Use Anywhere in the Title Tag
Trustworthiness of the Domain based Link Distance from Trusted Domains

Content, backlinks, keyword placement

 

SEOmoz has quite a good list, including positive and negative factors (make sure to click through to "see all"): http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors

As for some of the suggestions above:

Meta description - is used by Google to display info about your page, but it is not a ranking factor.
text/html ratio - is not a ranking factor
xml sitemaps - helps Google to discover all your pages, but it is not a ranking factor.
W3C validity - sites with code errors can prevent Googlebot from crawling your pages, but standards compliance is not a ranking factor.

 

BIGGEST FACTOR - DOMAIN NAME
Have a domain name with the exact keywords you try to rank for, makes your ranking process much faster

then of course you have:
* backlinks
* freshness of content - how often it is updated

 

Well:

W3C doesn't have "that much" impact on search results or to your SEO. However, clean coding is always good.

Social media and bookmarking do have a good traffic potential but they are generally used for conversions (SMO) & backlinks (SB). I did mention quality backlinks.

 

Title,Meta Description,Headings,Text/ HTML Ratio,XML Sitemaps,W3C Validity Content upgradation mentioned topics involved in on page this is the most inflluiencing factor after that
need to follow with off page optimization this is the next influiencing factor and this twp steps involved in organic seo.There are other few things involved like paid service PPC google adwords this is another factor for seo.

 

the most important factor to get ranking is content, use only fresh and unique content upon your site. do not use duplicate

 

The main factors are:
New and fresh content (helps if you have a blog).
Well researched keywords
Quality backlinks with proper anchor text.

 

Title tag, body content and back links are most influence in ranking

 

the main factor is content. the content should be relevant to the website theme, and should not be spammy. there should not be too many outgoing links from your website.
the second thing is title tag. the title tag should contain your main keyword.
the third most important thing is how many links point from high ranking sites back to your site. more the number of high value links with your keyword as the anchor text, more is the PR of your website.
