    concentrate on content.
    and know your target market.
    if you can create content that your target market is looking for then they will find it.

    But optimise your content as well, search google for information on keyword optimisation.

    I think concentrating on keywords is the key for SEO. You would need to do the following things to list higher in Search engine results:

    1. Write some keyword rich articles. You can try to find the most searched for keywords, relevant to your category, from the overture keyword inventory.
    2. Using your targeted keywords in the title of the post, in the post atleast 3 times (may be not more than 5 - 6 times) would do the wonders for you.
    3. Get links from other higher PR sites and don't forget to have your targeted keyword as anchor text for your link.

    There are many more strategies that I may not have discovered yet. If you come across any please care to inform me also :)

    Everything starts from YOUR website. Read on Building your website thinking SEO, Once you have found your targeted keywords than implement them within your site by following that small article.

    Anyway SEO doesn't stop just there, you need to read more and more and more and find seo resources which can lead your further and can help you in your SEO.

    I wouldn't normally stick my neck out like this but - give me a PM and I'll be glad to help (up to 5) - I won't do it for you but I will totally show you where you are going wrong and where you need to look, what you need to read and most importantly - what you need to do.

    I'll also tell you if you are fighting an hopeless cause and what you should be doing instead ;)

    Once we've found out what works for you - we can post here in the forum for others to enjoy.

    Onward and upwards

    Read the first link in my signature. Most of what people consider to be SEO is really a combination of proper information architecture, copywriting, Web development and marketing.
