One good way to boost your website’s ranking on search engines is to have quality links leading to your site.
There are plenty of link sites out there that merely require you to submit your business name, url and a little bit of information about your business. While not worthless, it is better to aim to have a link from websites in your field that rank well.
Domains that contain .org, .gov and .edu rank particularly well, so if you are a member of an association or an alumni of a college or university, you may have the opportunity to link to your business from your profile.
