I just read a great article about the process Google uses to rank websites. It is full of useful information to help you get ranked higher on the Google search engine.

The more you know about how Google ranks websites, the better able you will be to get your work ranked higher on their search engine.

For example, Xomba ranks very well on Google. Reading this article it is easy to see why. Lots of links to good content, high click through rate on the ads, very active site, lots of traffic...

What does that mean to you when you are on Xomba? It means that every time you come on the site, read an article, post and article, click through an ad, sign up for something, purchase something, or leave a comment, you are helping to raise the page ranking of Xomba.... and the higher Xomba ranks, the higher your work will rank... That means more traffic for you and more income for you...

So check out this article. It will take a while to work your way through it... it is long. Some of it is a bit technical.... but it is definitely worth spending some time with to gain understanding of the material.
