in terms of free.
think about how people would find your site, then make sure that
its in the site title. secondly, make sure that your site has
some content to index.
for example. do a search on 'lanparty sydney' or 'sydney lanparty'
and the only one youll get will be bong (huray me), and the hit is
mainly because its in the title. we are fairly well linked by
dmoz type things simply because we have been around for quite a
while.
we are kind of 'niche' though
if you are looking to get high ranking for 'cheapest acer laptop'
good luck. pay for a site ad ;)

G'day,
I was asked how to improve a web site to improve its position for search
engine rankings.
Search engine rankings are a slippery slope, aka more than a full time
job. AIUIN, your rank in the ones that matter is determined by the links
to your website from outside.
So if you get i.e. slashdotted and lots of peeps make pages with links
to your site, then it goes up in rankings.
All you can really count is the hits per page each month.
OTOH, paid advertising is the way to go. If you pay google enough, then
you can always be on the first page for certain search words {:-).
