    Hi,
    I make my living from web promotion. As already been said getting a good website, with good context that will sell and getting good listings could take me from now until this time next year to cover half the techniques needed. To get your webpage listed high will involve meta tags (coding) and keywords. The more keywords relevant to what you have on your website the better. You also need lots of links from high traffic sites in a similar field to yours. The more links generally you have the better listing you'll get. However you don't want too many first page links otherwise you loose all your customers.
    Here's a top tip - you need a name and email capture form on your website. possibly with a free report or gift if they give you details. You then link the details to an autoresponder and you can send info and special offers out to these people every week as you'll find most people 9/10 will NOT buy from you first time and on average take 9 times to see your email/website before doing so.
    If you've got a bit of money to invest try this software SEOelite.
    Hope that helps??

    Now that you have done it for your main search terms you just need to replicate good results for your secondary terms without damaging the position for the main ones... its where the real fun/ art begins ;)

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand this at all :o

    By the way sock monkeys is a very good niche market. It got about 2500 searches in google which means you can do very well in a smaller market. Good luck!

    If you have 1/2 to 1 hr to spare here are some videos which might prove useful
    Video 1
    Video 2
    Video 3
    Video 4
    Video 5
    Video 6

    Of course, it's all to sell a book but you don't have to buy it.

    PS The 5th link doesn't appear to be working at the moment - maybe it's been removed.
