Hey thanks for reading this post... I was curious to learn about the way that google/yahoo rankings are done. My site was just indexed into google yesterday, the current rank is 2/10. My question is, how can i better my rank. Or do you earn a better rank by how long your site has been indexed.

If you could school me, or send me in the right direction on moving my rank up, any help would be appreciated :)

Google's ranking system is, IMO, probably the best: (http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html)






seriously though, i'm wondering this about yahoo/google myself

i think i figured it, heh you write a cheque to them, they bump you up.
but then again i always was paranoid. they prolly just look at they keyword you type and then look at the last 100 people who typed it and see what site they chose first.
