Search Results , What determines where you site ranks?
Ok, you have a website. Someone does a search for a product or a word on Yahoo or Google. What determines where you come up in the results? Im more likely to click on a result on the first page even though theres 700,000 results. Is it the most hits or certain words on the main page or what?

search results are determined by page rank (PR) and that's a google tool for queries , so the page rank is determined by some factors like relevance of content , frequency of update, tags, and links from high rated webs to your web, you need to submit your url in all web directories that you find and leave it in forums and blogs and if you can use google webmaster tools to improve the website quality , please check this information about PR

A lot of things factor into how a search engine decides to rank you for a keyword phrase. In no particular order:
- Keyword relevance of the text on your page
- Topical relevance of your website
- How many other pages link to your page
- How authoritative the pages are that link to your page
- What anchor text is being used to link to your page
- The structure/hierarchy of your page and/or site
- The age of your domain

If you are truly interested in learning how to rank well in search engines, you could spend years studying and practicing search engine optimization (SEO), which is a specialized technical/marketing discipline devoted entirely to this subject.
