SEO tips = better search engine ranking

Getting Google results

From a recent comment on Google's blacklist:

I have a Question I am hoping someone can help me out with. I recently started a work at home related web site. When I do a google search for realdealjobs, it shows about 40 results, but when I search for link backs (link:http://) my site doesn't even show up. If I do the same thing on MSN search it shows about 20 link backs so far. I have a google page rank of zero!!!!! I cant shake it. Frustrated, I am trying to redesign the whole site. I don't know what I did wrong to get a zero rank or have google not even recognize the site, but it stands to reason it is only fare if they are going to impose a rank on the relevancy of your content, potentially hurting ones search engine ranking, they should have some sort of information on how to remedy a negitive outcome. I would really appreciate it if someone might take a quick look at my site, http://www.realdealjobs.com and let me know if you see any "red flags" other than the reconstruction of the site. I have done alot of research on SEO lately, followed the recomendations, still google hates me. What can I do? Feel free to e-mail me directly if you like.

I wouldn't redesign the site. Google has been very slow to pick up new sites recently. Just keep getting links from sites Google really likes (high PR sites which rank well) and eventually they have to index your site. In your work from home industry this can be difficult. There is lots of competition, and many of your competitors will have well established sites. With a big enough budget you can submit to every paid directory, but even that may not be enough. Buy a few links from related contnet sites and make sure your content is unique. And wait. MSN seems to like new sites so you should see results there before you see them in Google.

See old and new sites of more info.
