I am a reader of this and other search engine forums for over a couple months. Because all of you I have learned a lot. I believe I did some progress. I got 5 PR and I’ve successfully driven some traffic to my web site; however, from last two months I stuck for good.
I know how quality links, good website, and good content are important.
However, could you please explain:
1) What “Good website” means?
- I believe that mine is “Good” – no broken links, understandable navigation, light pages, web site never down, clear layout, and no spamming techniques.
2) What do you mean by “Good Content”?
Which one is good, which one not. How to make it better if it is only a purchase web site?
3) What do you mean by “Good quality links”?
and finally,
4) How to be listed high for specific key phrase?
Thank you for answers
1) see #2
2) lots of article quality content that keeps visitors coming back and back.
3) links to quality sites.
4) see 1,2, and #3 (no kidding).
without going into specifics.
Good means what the user will like/want/need
Design your site based on what a potential user/client/purchaser needs.
Google is quite easy, once you can work out how it works.
Too many people seem to be obsessed with PR, and NOT Roi.
at the end of the day, the time effort that you put in creating content for your site HAS to return results, not just a high PR.
Good Luck

If you can do this, #3 should come naturally.
I have a business site, it is my storefront (cheaper rent!) but I knew I needed to do more than throw up pretty pix and charming words on the products.
In doing my keyword research, I tried to do a wide search around the specialty area of what I sell and who I am trying to sell to. It led me to a two word "question" being asked/searched for with a KEI of over 600! I wrote a page to deal with this, plus researched another high KEI phrase associated with this question - making sure to incorporate both not only as key words but into the text. Since my products would deal with the question, I then put in hot links of some of the products where appropriate.
This began to immediately bring in a nice amount of traffic when my new site was still working its way up in the google listings.
Since then, I've paid attention to the key words used that bring folks to my site - and found a two word phrase I had not thought to emphasize - my next goal is to write a page that will :)
None of this is new (and I have the flu - my New Year's present from hubbie who got it for his Christmas vacation from his software company - so I may not be as coherent as I think I am being) but I just wanted to toss out that this is my experience and it is paying off.
Patriciak - be glad, very glad that you can not get the flu over the Internet
