I have a new website and domain name. I need traffic! I have done the free URL submissions within reason, Google has picked me up--though I am LOW on their search yet--but other search engines like Yahoo, Alta Vista, Live, etc have me ranked # 1 or # 2. I'd like suggestions on how to better get my URL out there---and especially make it Google friendly.
Thanks all!

That link doesn't work for me.

A browse of the Google Search forum should find you several threads on this topic.

A couple of random thoughts:

Do you have an h1 heading at the top of each page? In my novice days I used an h2 because the default sizing suited the page better. When I knew enough to replace it with a styled h1 that page's rankings improved dramatically.

Do you have unique title and description for each page? I started picking up a lot of long tail when I customised the title for each page rather than relying on a single template for the whole site.
