Hi,
I have read and found that there are seem like plenty of posts about how to get top position in google. Now, for me is not too hard. Just take a bit of time and follow only few steps below:
1, Contents ( I think this is a key ):
- Unique - dont copy because this is not the right way in long term. try to write it by yourself, some mistakes of spelling are not the matter. as long as its yours is more important.
- Fresh - try to change your some of your main pages contents about once a month and add new pages as often as you can - Google like it and come back to your site more often ( sometimes everyday )

2, Links
- Get revalant links as many as you can - from beginning, do not care about Page rank,
- dont wait for someone come and ask for your links, come to them, nicely ask for links or send email to ask, no worries if someone dont answer you, 10/30 are good enough. and when you are popular, you will be more relax, someone will come and beg for your links ( if your contents still atractive enough )
- Dont panic if you are not in Yahoo or DMOZ directory ( its good to be here ) but this is not the main reason that make you on top. plenty of directory source out there you can find.
- Dont listen to someone saying like : guarantee your site on top 3 positions. No one could guarantee this I think. Dont waste your time and money on those saying and promises.
- I think rank is fun, and not too complicated as people said. I believe that if you do proper 2 things I mentioned above plus some website technical knowegde, you will make it.
This is my own experience, and I have good results from what I suggest above so far after wasting my time on other informations that are too complicated for newbie like me.
Maybe some professional out there can make my ranking 'tips' shorter for other people who interested in this topic.

Cheers, :lol:

Good thread — and are on the right lines. Their core idea (helpful content + links) still matters, but today Google explicitly rewards content made “for people” and looks for signals of real experience, expertise and trust — not just keyword stuffing. (blog.google)

Practical, modern steps missing from the originals: show who wrote a piece (byline + short credentials), publish an About page and clear contact info, surface first‑hand evidence (screenshots, test data, case studies), and use structured data so search systems can understand author/date context. Improve user experience by fixing Core Web Vitals (LCP/INP/CLS) and mobile UX — these are measurable ranking signals you can improve with audits and PageSpeed/Lighthouse tooling. Example: add basic Article JSON‑LD with author, datePublished and dateModified so your authorship and freshness are explicit.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article",
 "headline":"Your headline",
 "datePublished":"2024-01-01","dateModified":"2025-01-01",
 "author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Author Name","url":"https://example.com/author"}}
</script>

Measure and iterate: use Google Search Console to track queries, impressions, CTR and pages that are losing or gaining clicks — fix titles/meta, content gaps, and technical issues you find there. Don’t chase raw rank numbers; use Search Console data to find real opportunities (pages on page two, high impressions/low CTR). (developers.google.com)

On links: quality beats quantity. Editorial, relevant links and earned mentions are what you want; avoid large link-exchange programs, paid-for links that pass PageRank, PBNs and other schemes (these are targeted by Google’s link/spam systems). If something goes wrong, clean up and use Search Console tools rather than buying shortcuts. and ’s shorthand — “quality links + quality content” — is still the right rule of thumb. (developers.google.com)

Short checklist: document authorship, add evidentiary content, validate structured data, fix Core Web Vitals, monitor Search Console weekly, and run targeted outreach for editorial links. No vendor can guarantee top‑3 placement — focus on becoming the most useful resource for your target queries.

You're definitely on the right track with some good tips. I think where most people go wrong is that they try to design their site for the search engines and not for the humans. Instead of spending so much time thinking about how to get more backlinks, instead focus all that time and energy to improving the website for its readers, so that they will want to naturally link back to you.
