  <body>&lt;p&gt;Just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about SEO I come back at you with more information. How do I do it? Well it&#8217;s called &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;reading&lt;/span&gt; staying &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;informed&lt;/span&gt;, being a geek and discussing the skinny on SEO, or so I would like to think. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I am sure you know there are tons of ways to do this but I am sure I have mentioned I want to do this as free or as close to free as possible. Strap on the belt and read.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Top ways to get top Googleranking &lt;br&gt;            &lt;br&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Lets start by&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;directory inbound linking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.Basically Google liked those because it shows Google you have some weight with someone. Almost like an endorsement. I am sure you have seen the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;DMOZ. Org&lt;/span&gt; this is the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;OpenDirectory Project&lt;/span&gt;. As a matter of fact they power Google so how do you like that for endorsement.&lt;br&gt;            &lt;br&gt;When you get to the various directories make sure you &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;link your site properly&lt;/span&gt;.There will be a Paid Submission, which we want to stay away from but incase you have a few bucks (most of us don&#8217;t) and for the sake of being thorough in this article I should mention it can cost around $300 (&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Yahoo Directory&lt;/span&gt;)up to a thousand dollars with other commercial sites that will reviewand then submit your link.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next is the Free Submission. Yeah pretty amazing there is anything left Free on the Internet. But there are a few it will just take some time for you to find them or you can read my articles blogs and reap the benefits. So the big ones are going to be &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Google, Yahoo, AOL,Alexa, Dmoz.org&lt;/span&gt;, Not necessarily in that order but as long as you include your link on those sites and make sure you place them in the right directory half your efforts will be taken care of. Just like anything else however make sure you go back and check in a couple of weeks.&lt;br&gt;            &lt;br&gt;Getting a &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;featuredlink or paid link inclusion&lt;/span&gt;. Once again I have to mention all of the options. Basically this can be a paid inclusion or you can do an exchange of banner with some sites. Some are better than others and some will charge you some money. But if you know how to Shmoozle also known as Shmooze in other parts of the country you can get this done by sharing a page with some of your shmoozle efforts. (In case you don&#8217;tknow what shmoozle is it&#8217;s scratch my back, scratch your back concept, some call it mafia, some call it politics, I call it shmoozle.)&lt;br&gt;            &lt;br&gt;I have discovered the top 5 Directories but now I have to get some work done therefore I cannot give them to you. But I promise you come back I shall give you the list and how to do it again. A step by step tutorial on how to gain ground in the World of Google ranking and all your SEOefforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</body>
