SEO, search engine optimization, is a tricky subject that requires a lot of research. Keywords, links, back links, content, and other things all go into determining how your website is ranked in Google and other search engines. I also encourage you to make sure other search engines index your website as well, but I'll get back on topic.
If you view the source code of a website, you will find a section called the "meta" that has multiple sections to it. It is most commonly used for keywords and the description of the website. Using this can greatly affect your search engine ranking.
Content also plays a major role. You don't want to talk about SFI and how to raise goats in the same website. You want a central theme with one topic and use keywords throughout the entire content. Search engines typically read the first few lines of the first paragraph on a page, so make sure it is relevant to the topic and easily accessible.
Links and back links create popularity for a website. If a search engine sees a link to a website in another website, the linked website gains a little popularity. If that website has a lot of links to it, it gains a lot of popularity in the search engine. Linking to your website within your website will help a little, but not as much as others linking to your site, back links.
One of the most important things you need to do is to ping your website to a search engine. This shouldn't be done often, once a month might even be too often in some cases. What this does is tells the search engine to go through your website and list it in the search results, which the search engine determines.
These are the main topics for getting your website listed in search engines, but further research should be done on the topics of search engine optimization and keywords. Getting started with SEO is tricky, but once you get the ball rolling, it usually takes off by itself.
