Particularly I believe that any one of the methods is not complete solution for site/blog promoting at all. Basically all verities of methods are important for site promoting as well.
1. For get a website to rank high on Google you hopefully have at least one, but preferably a couple listings at perfect descriptions and titles.
The next part is to optimize the HTML code of the pages to match Google's algorithm as well as you can. While I believe that the optimization listings are the most important factor in the ranking, a completely unoptimized page that is listed can certainly be beat by a well-optimized page that is not in it.
Of course, the best combination is a page that is both optimized and listed in the directory, what is exactly you should shoot for.
Let's take a look at the various areas of page optimization for Google:
Title: The keyword or phrase should be included in the title of the page. However, it is probably best to include other words in addition to the keyword as well. For single keywords or two word phrases, I'd consider a title of 3-5 words in length to be the best choice.
Headings: Placing the key phrase in a H1 or H2 heading at the very beginning of the page seems to work well. I have seen pages that rank high without headings, but it would seem to me that a good heading makes the job a bit easier. For the heading, I generally use just the keyword or key phrase without adding any other words into it.
If the page in question is a very long one, using a H3 heading with the keyword in it every now and then to retain the focus doesn't seem to hurt.
Density: Google doesn't seem to be too picky about keyword density, just as long as the key phrase is found often on the page. In many cases, Google seems to tolerate and even like very high keyword densities.
The page should be somewhat "front-heavy", meaning that you should work the first instance of the keyword somewhere very near to the beginning of the page and make it appear once or twice fairly close to this first keyword, scattering the rest across the page.
Special words: Including the keyword in link text or in bold text does seem to give a slight advantage, but is not mandatory in my opinion. If I would have to choose between the two, I'd see using the keyword in link text as more important than using it in bold.
Meta tags: Not useful with Google, but you won't get into trouble for using the standard keyword and description tags either. Include them or leave them out, your choice.
Link popularity: As said, links from other respected sources, especially Yahoo, can be very valuable as well. Links from normal pages, if you have a large number of them pointing at the page you're optimizing, will provide a good edge against the competition.
I believe the SEO optimization is the best way to get a web site on the 1st page of Google, Yahoo, Bing and others.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is an essential part of any online marketing campaign because it can help you get a flow of targeted traffic to your website.
Building links is one of the many different ways to optimize your web site. Building links is nothing but getting other sites in your specialized niche to place your links on their own pages in order to promote it.
