"The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal - that you can gather votes like box tops - is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process."

"Beginners Luck" a guide to Web Page/Site Design
Ever wonder why the cheapest looking, mostly all text, boring web sites get all the top rankings? Me Too! So I found out. As it turns out most search engines have been fooled once or twice by idiots (or genius's depending on what side of the fence your on) who have placed code in their sites to fool rankers into giving their site more weight. So they have put measures in place to stop these people, and in return made "Ranking" more of a challenge than ever. What is this Magic code that places sites at the top? PLANNING! Yes, Planning is the best way to get your site noticed and ranked.
Tips for planning your website for "Rankings"
1. Plan your site around a specific set of keywords or phrases. if your site is about basketball, then your keywords should include Basketball First, then Basketball in a phrase. (E.G. Basketball for short people) Basketball will get the general inquirers and Basketball for short people will dominate the specific area that your site really pertains to in the first place.
2. Plan every area in your site to begin with your keywords. Pretty simple, but somewhat hard to swallow for the ego. Sites with too much text don't look as fancy as sites with images and animations. Text and keyword placement is crucial, only use your keywords in the first part of your particular area, and then do not repeat them.
3. Submit often, this is the most boring part of a webmaster's life. Having your 150 dollar software submit your sites for you is not as effective as doing it yourself to each engine or database. For some reason some of the data is skewed or something, I am not sure why. At least once a month, and some even suggest once a week, your site must be submitted to each engine.
This is the basic ritual that will get your site noticed, without spending a dime. If you really want to get some hits, try renting a billboard and plaster a picture of a sports figure on it and your web site url. I have been told this works really well, although costing much U.S. currency.
