There is also no guarantee where you will rank on Google, no matter what you do to improve your ranking, but there are some basic things you can do to your site, to at least help positioning.
Here is an informative article on the basics of search engine optimization techniques. This is a basic SEO and not a conclusive guide, but should give you some ideas to get you started.

Top 10 SEO Mistakes
1 – Targetting the wrong keywords
This is a mistake many people make and what is worse – even experienced SEO experts make it. People choose keywords that in their mind are descriptive of their website but the average users just may not search them. For instance, if you have a relationship site, you might discover that “relationship guide” does not work for you, even though it has the “relationship” keyword, while “dating advice” works like a charm. Choosing the right keywords can make or break your SEO campaign.
