Design your site in such a way that it is easy to navigate, easy to read and doesn't have a bunch of flashy stuff.
 
One popular way of boosting your ranking in the search engines is to get other relevant websites out there to link to yours and you then can link back to them. This is known as link building and the good old fashioned way is to email the sites you'd like to have links on and ask them to post your link in exchange for posting theirs on your website. External backlink can be posted when you make comments on different forums and blogs but at the same time you need to make an attempt to communicate. Remember, webmaster can easily spot a spammer, so don't just use the blogs or forums to promote yourself, get involved with in real conversations.

You will also want to ensure that the meta info that you provide for your page has good descriptions and good keywords or search words. Make sure that the title tag has keywords in it as well so that the URL will contain the keywords.
