    Hello guys,

    I know that there are a lot of factors that each search engine used in ranking pages like keyword in your URL, in domain name, header, Meta tags, etc. Can anyone give me other factors that I can use for my site get high rankings?

    Thanks

    Popularity - ie, how many times it gets clicked in SERPs. General keyword density across the whole page. Backlinks. How fresh the content is. Erm... any more anyone can think of?

    I think placement of important keywords in the Title Tag is one of the factors too which the SEs take into consideration in ranking pages.

    to rank well you have to write content that people will actually find useful and get as many backlinks as possible.

    The short version:

    Rank = Great optimized content * links * time

    That's pretty much the long and the short of it, though I'd change links to links from authority/on-topic sites.

    Look for sites already ranking well for your keywords. If that's the case then Google obviously considers them to be relevent to your topic and good enough quality to be ranked well.
