Can anyone guarantee #1 on Google Search? I don’t think so!
Many SEO’s promise guaranteed number one position on Google, Yahoo, and MSN search or your money back. If we were to believe these con artists, everyone would be number one for their keywords in the search engine results pages.
Nobody can guarantee #1 ranking in google but we can get you up there on the first page. Here’s an excerpt from google: “No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise a “priority submit”.
Some of the factors that help search engine ranking are:
Domain Age – how old is your site? How many years is your domain registered for? Older domains do carry a little more weight.
Meta Tags – Are your meta tags optimized? Are your keywords relevant to the content of your website?
How many quality links do you have? – how many high ranked sites link to you?
Number of Indexed Pages – how many pages does your site contain? How many pages are indexed by google. Do you have duplicate content on your site.
What Files Types can Google Index?

There is a rumour that Google has started indexing Flash files, i.e., SWF files. To make it easy for google to index your pages keep your code clean. Use CSS to call Java script files. Limit images, have a content rich website. Don’t have too many dyanamic pages.
Make sure that your web site loads fast. Ideally your site should not take longer than 15 seconds to load, if the site takes longer then reduce the waiting time by avoiding Flash Intro’s and minimizing the amount of large images you have.
Always check and then double check that there are no broken links in your site.
