That’s right- Google is not your enemy when your optimizing your website for search engines! If you’d like to get your SEO skills up, or just improve the SEO of your own site, Google’s Webmaster section has a wealth of information to help you get your websites rank up.

They’ve even put together a full blown Search Engine Optimization ebook on good SEO practices, which I highly recommend taking a look at. Once you give that a look over, if you’d like to dive deeper into SEO, I’d recommend learning about creating Sitemaps, It’s a great way to get your ranking up faster as they give Google a guideline as to how to index your website.
