Recently (maybe about three weeks ago) I began working on a brand new site idea for a client. Within two days his site was built (my designer is really fast and awesome). Within a week it was ranking well in Google for a fairly competitive commercial phrase with a respectible search volume (thousands of searches per day).
What did I do? I picked a keyword rich site name and registered the site with a ton of directories.
There were some other forces at hand that I am not at liberty to discuss, but the primary driving force behind his rankings is about a few dozen directory links.
John Scott and I have been talking a bunch recently about the power of LINKS FROM UNIQUE IP ADDRESSES and he posted a good example recently in the V7N forums.
Obviously I have a ton more tips inside my SEO Book, but the condensed version is:
- buy a keyword rich domain name
- list it in a ton of directories using those keywords
- write articles and figure out other ways to get links into your site
There are a ton of other things to consider, but for most industries the web is so non competitive that just the above few steps can go a long way.

What I would like to know is what the minimum level of uniqueness of different ip's should be.
it is best if links are from various C Block IP addresses.
which means that in AA.BB.CCC.DDD
there is something different from one to the next in a b or c.
Ok, thanks for the answer.
What about the effect of links from your site to others? Isn't there a theory you can increase your ranking and relevance by linking to highly ranked sites with your keyword terms?
it is possible to improve rankings by linking to related resources in thematic or community based search engines such as Teoma, but the jury is still out as for it having any great effect on Yahoo! or Google.
