I received an email today from a guy wanting to know how to get listed on Google. My response was that it takes time and effort. Google optimizes their algorithm constantly to keep people from finding and using loopholes or quick fixes. The best solution is to play by the rules and provide plenty of fresh, relative, useful content.

Brett Tabke’s article, “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone” goes into more detail about what that means to someone creating a web site. If you want to have a solid listing in Google, this is a must read.
