Content is king!

Most important of all is content. Google generates its results lists after content relevance for certain keywords.

It is also important to see where on the pages these words are used. Google considers for example headlines as more important and more relevant than regular text. Therefore it is important to have well structured texts where keywords are used with informative and relevant content. It does not help to mention your keyword 5 times in the same sentence. The search engine will gladly classify this text as spam.

It's also wise to update the website regularly. If the search engines perceive that the website is often updated, they will classify it as more relevant than static pages that are not updated as often.
