First, get a good domain name for under $9. Make sure your domain name is plain and simple, at least for your main site. No hyphens or names that are hard to remember. Most people like simple domain names. Then optimize your pages and run an HTML check on them to make sure syntax is correct. You can use NetMechanic for that or ACEHTML that has it own Internet syntax checker.
Add good, renewable content via RSS. Here”s an example page that uses RSS to keep its content fresh: themoneyreport.net
By keeping your sites content changing on a daily basis, Google will visit and index it more often, including sub-pages. If you are going to use RSS, be sure to use .PHP and no Java Script inclusions. The search engines don”t seem to read the java script-based content. PHP inclusions are best.
