how do you add links to a site

[lojo]

Hi All

This area is very new to me so forgive me if I am asking a very basic question.

I have just created a site and submitted the site on google to be listed - which it has done.

On google's search engine when you type in the name of the site google brings up the site which is fine. but if you type in one of the keywords its no where to be found.

I have read some of the info out there and they all say add links to the site to gain page ranking - but how is this- what is the procedure, to do this? I dont understand how you go about adding/obtaining links to your site.

Is there a book or any other information that explains the procedure of search engine optimations (step by step) for a newbie like me?

I would appreciate some help on this as I am really confused on how I supposed to do this.

Regards

Not a problem. You'll notice that most of the major boards will have an FAQ stickied at the top. It is highly recommended that they be read before posting a question .
