If someone could explain what i need to do or i could pay someone to do it for me. I just want a top ranked position on the major search engines. Please Help.
Well if you are new to this SEO world then its certainly a tough job ahead. I think you should start with directory submissions initially. Then you can go for optimizing your web pages. The most important part in SEO is Link building. More the backlinks you get more are the chances for you to rank well in SE. Also remember that there are different algorithms followed by different search engines. So you have to plan accordingly for different search engines.
A good place to start is identifying a good key phrase that suits your type of website and the market you are trying to attract. Then you can start making changes to your pages and include the keyphrase in your link building program. Off page Optimization is usually the most effective.
