OK for a really long period one of my site was in the top 10 on at
least 60% of the most popular SEs and with more than 1 page and
with more than one set of keywords. I was really proud of myself :-).
But this was before May/June

After a long period of confusion I think I'm getting again near to a
scientific method to be top ranked...
In the last 2 days I've read a lot of material on the net... I've read
experience and advices of many professional most of these advice
were very recent so I think they are referring to the current (not the
one before May/June) algorithms of SE.
I think that some of the old technique are still valid but I have to
clarify some new technique and to verify some affirmation that are
new to me and seem to be part of the new strategies SEs are
following to rank sites.

repetition and kwds ratio seem to be the wrong way today. The
limit SE consider repetition/high keywords ratio seems to be much
more low than before...
Tricks like hidden text (background/foreground) now are considered
spam and automatically punished...
Also bridge pages seems to be considered spam from some SE
(Infoseek and Excite if I remember right)...
I'm in the creative phase now but what I would like to do require a
lot of skills and a lot of programming time (C++, JavaScript and
CGI... in my case ASP).
But I'm lazy And I'm convinced that with no help rules will change
before I'll finish.
I think I'll follow the easyest, less creative way...

yes I'm currently ranked in the top 50 of evry SE but I want more...
Thank you for tolerate my gumbling.
