Hello,

I know this hasn't much to do with web design but its the category that fits the most for my question which is: How do you "help your site show up on google" and by showing up I mean in the top results for a given keyword.
Does website acess help in ranking ?(meaning how many visitor the site gets)
Do RSS Feed help ?
META tags ?

I've googled for that but found many answers that I couldn't believe.

Thanks

Al968its all about the traffic and if you paid to get your site in the google directory. if you pay for them to put it in then it will be higher in the results then a site that was put in wit hthe free submission. so if you want you google rank to GO up then get your site in different directorys and get links to your site on other SITES that have a decent google rank, that way the crawler will find it easierok

But does it mean that the people have to get to my site through google or just get to my site ?

thanks

Al968welcomeGoogle pagerank is based on "votes". A link to your site counts as a vote for you.

Other things that can affect it are the QUALITY of links (don't go putting your website on link sites or top 100 type sites, their just not usually that good) and crawlability e.g. can the GoogleBot access your whole site (I would advise taking advantage of Google Webmaster Tools to be sure).

Hope that clears it up a bit.Yes it does thank you
