    It honestly depends on how competitive the keywords you are targetting are and also how good your on page and off page SEO is

    And also remember that it takes time for you to notice the effects of your linking and content

    Depends on the competition, keep adding content, build backlinks from various places, target the keywords you want to rank for.

    The question is too vague.

    If you are working on very niche keywords and dedicate a lot of time to optimising, it could be as little as a few months, however, if you are targeting very competitive keywords and put in very little effort, probably never.

    It depends on many factors, mainly the content and the keywords. If you write quality content and if there is less competition for your keyword...then, you can make it in a few days.

    It depends on how competitive your keyword is, how you apply and work on your SEO + linkbuilding, how you spread the keywords around and overall quality of the content. Depending on those factors, if all goes well, usually it will appear within a week.

    and then you might not be there forever ... or find that it isn't the magic solution to marketing your products/ services.

    First thing you want to check is your domain age - if it is younger than 1 year... you will have problems promoting it for competitive keywords

    being the top 10 on google pages mean you should defeat all the old top 10. it is not easy, you work on it daily and others people do the same thing as you did to their web.

    just keep making good content and related keywords, because be top 10 base on many more factors, but the most importante is how competitive the keywords that you use.

    if its a highly competitive key word it can take more then 3 years go for more obscure keywords until the site is established.

    If you have lots of competition then expect it to be very long. Just keep on working with your keyword an dyou will find out that you are in the top 10 one day.

    HI, i don't think that op page optimization is such a important factor to bring your site at top in google. All you need to do is that keep on doing regular efforts honesty. Domain age is also an important factor for google...

    If it`s an low competition keyword you can have top position fast but if it`s middle to high competition keyword you will need to do a lot of work to hit top position in couple of days - weeks .

    I read an article at SearchEngineWatch.com that says SEO is about 20% on-page and 80% off-page with google. In a non-competitive arena, good on-page SEO can get you front page results, but for competitive keywords, link-building probably the most important factor.
