For the Gods of Google to accept your site, you must do more than offer up a golden cow. Here are the Ten Commandments to follow. Sinners will face purgatory with a penalty or be sent to hell with a lifetime ban.
The First Commandment - Thou Shalt Have Fresh Content
The easiest way to accomplish this is with a daily blog. One to three paragraphs of original content related to your site.
The Second Commandment - Thou Shalt Do Keyword Research
For each of your daily blogs, go to the Free Keyword Researcher on our Free Biz Tools page and identify a keyword string of 2-4 words long to title your blog.
Use the Keyword string in your blog content 1-3 times.
The Third Commandment - Thou Shalt Submit Daily Blog to Social Bookmarks
The exact keyword string that you identify for you blog's title will be used in each submission. Change up the description for each submission.
Here are the angels of Google that will help you ascend in the rankings and find a home in Google Heaven:

The Google Gods want you to be true to yourself and not try to trick your fellow man.
