You know, a great way to get a website listed near the top on Google is
to take the time to produce a website that has value to the people who
visit it. Then others will link to the and it will gain in ranking.

People who do that are contributing to society and bringing benefit to
others and possibly enriching their own lives in the process.

On the other hand, people who fill the Web with shit and then play games
with Google to try to force more people to look at their shit so they
can increase their add revenues are basically shitmongers.

Just an observation.

Make sure the site is readable to search engines, and not littered with
poor markup and images for content. I've been pleasantly surprised at my
rankings in fairly competitive subject fields. Try the following searches:

chord tutorial - I'm first! Unbelievable!
multiviews - second after Apache's own documentation
php multiviews - first!
cable wrap - second!

I think the key is lots of good, easily parseable content. These pages
have not had huge amounts of publicity, nor do they appear to have many
inbound links.

Hopefully someone will take this on board and do search engine
optimization by WRITING GOOD CONTENT rather than trying to fiddle the
system to feed searches something less relevant than the proper top result.

These rank high, I imagine, because they are concise, tackle subjects
not well treated, and provide useful solutions.

OK, but how does Google know that? There are lots of pages out there
mentioning MultiViews, but mine zipped straight to the top of the rankings.

(Note, however, that I
*still* think multiviews to serve xhtml is not worth the trouble!)

I don't do that any more. I use a PHP script to parse the Accept header
properly (including order and q values).

Good content, yes. But Google seems not to care too much about the
quality of the markup.

Still bitter about the restaurant site? ;-)

I'm working on a script to show the day's dinner special. It will only
show it for part of the day, and will change each day. Actually, the
page will change 3 times during the day, depending on the time. Working
out last-modified and expires times has been a little difficult because
I'm dealing with 3 time zones: UT (GMT), the local time of the server,
and the local time of the restaurant.

I'd be tempted to use no-cache in this case.
