Do only ethicals SEO work, it includes On site , Offside Optimization. By doing this your website can listed on first page.
For example if am using this keyword credit canada for my new website. I want my website to come in Google first page when i use this keyword. I can do all kinds of work like on-page as well as off-page. Whether i have use that credit canada keyword for all my on-page and off-page or i have to use some more keywords.
It depends alot on the keyword you want to get listed under? If it's a very competitive keyword like "make money online" then you'll have a hard time. Because theres allot of other people competing for those exact keywords. The key is backlinks and relevant backlinks. If your backlinks are irrelevant your website will sit at the bottom. The key to SEO is always and will forever be popularity. Google wants to know people are interested in your product or service. If they are not your Seo rankings will remain at the bottom or even you might get to the top and then get pushed back down which i've seen on allot of occasions.
