Good luck:
1. ALWAYS have a good Site Map- designed not just for SE Bots to easily find all your pages, but make it for your surfers too.
2. Serve up plenty of *good* separate pages of content. Each page is an opportunity to get indexed and possibly found. Don’t stuff your site full of ‘fluff’ pages…make it worthy for your users.
3. An Optimized Page Title + H1, H2 text can go a long way in *unoptimized* SERP's.
4. Use CSS instead of font tags and stick your JavaScript and CSS into external files whenever possible.
5. The anchor text in backlinks is VERY important- though often hard to control unless you own your own network of domains. MIX up your anchor text on your links. THINK like Google. Is it natural for someone to all of a sudden get dozens of links with the same exact anchor text? Nope. DON’T potentially draw attention to yourself that may result in a penalty.
6. If you plan your own network of domains its best (IMO) to spread them across multiple Web Hosts. Multiple web hosts also diversify your risks if/when a host goes down or gets attacked maliciously.
7. Google’s toolbar *may* be a helpful tool in gauging how established a website is *if* it reports back accurate PageRank.
8. Page rank is important, but like all other aspects there is no 'magic bullet' where one thing will rocket you to the top. The purpose of links should be about gaining new users from other sites. We may know differently, but too often newbies get caught up on seeing the little green bar go up and lose
