This thread shows the common 2012-era emphasis on volume link tactics. That historical context matters: many suggestions here (see and ) reflect an older playbook. A modern, sustainable path to high rankings is strategic and measurable — not chasing raw counts. For the immediate priority is a clear, narrow goal: pick one realistic search query (or small group of closely related queries) and treat the site like a product built to satisfy that query’s intent.

Concrete, high-impact priorities that were not spelled out in the replies:

  • Content first. Create one authoritative page that answers the query better than the current top results (depth, clarity, examples, and sources). Structure the page so searchers find the answer quickly and also have clear next steps.
  • Technical and UX health. Ensure fast mobile performance, HTTPS, correct canonicalization, clean crawlability, and basic structured data where relevant. These are gating issues: even excellent content struggles if the site is slow, unindexable, or mobile-hostile.
  • Trust signals and attribution. Add clear author/brand info, citations to credible sources, and visible contact or business details to support E‑A‑T.
  • Measured outreach. Earn editorial links from closely relevant sites and communities; avoid automated schemes or low-quality directories that can create long-term risk.

Realistic expectations and troubleshooting: movement takes weeks to months; small sites should aim for targeted first‑page placements rather than a blanket “#1” across broad, highly competitive queries. If progress stalls, check indexation, manual actions, duplicate content, redirect chains, and whether top competitors simply have vastly stronger authority.

Immediate 3-step starter (practical, not tactical):

  1. Define 1–3 target queries and document the top‑10 SERP features and pages.
  2. Build one superior, well-structured page that satisfies intent and adds original value.
  3. Fix obvious technical/UX issues and set up Search Console + analytics to track impressions, clicks, and average position.

Comments from and about clarity of goal and realistic expectations remain the best guiding principles.

If you could specify what exactly you are doing then I can certainly suggest you whether what you are doing is correct or not! You cannot achieve no.1 with just 'whatever' you are doing!

you should try to get as many links pointing at your pages as possible. do most off page submission one way linking, link exchange, like directory, classified, foum posting, blog commenting,submit your link on High PR websites,share yor url in social networking website etc that mean you can increase backlinks.

thanks, you can get to page 1 on google depend on the keyword you are promoting
build good backlink from do follow blog comments and post wisely on forum, submit articles to articles directories and use web 2.0 sites.
bookmark with social network sites
with time you will get there

getting to page 1 on google is not too difficult, but all depend on the niche you are marketing, if you are marketing a niche with low competition, you can get there.
you need to do keyword search, used articles submission and social bookmarking and blog commenting to increase your site backlinks

Thanks everyone for you reply.

Thanks everyone for you reply.

Ha ha you asked Half Question, you got so many different replies and you still got satisfied.. This is funny & strange!

I'm sorry to still reply on a post 7 days ago, but I was just wondering if it is even possible to be no. 1 on google? I mean, I am just an average google user but I notice that the google's search result is constantly changing,. Well, I know about SEO, but man, am I tired to read posts about everybody wanting to be no. 1 on google. Why, I will already be satisfied if my site is on the first page of google's search result. I supppose it's too much to ask to be no. 1 with wikipedia and all those big sites as competitors.

Hi,
I agreed that, most of the sites are competing for the first position in the major search engines. Therefore, the competition is very tough.
To achieve success in the major search engines ranking, you have to apply the different strategies of Internet Marketing like:
- On page SEO
- off page SEO
- SMO
- Link wheel generation
- Web 2.0

The competition is tough but improving your rank is necessary if you want to increase your traffic which is necessary to achieve almost any goal that any site has by being on the internet. Keep up with forum posting, and do follow blog commenting. Submit your articles to directories and build up good backlinks. It does take some time but once you start to see the results you will know that your efforts were not in vain.
