There's no "one hit" for ranking, there's no one thing you can do that will boost your ranking perfomance to your desire.

Your site structure (the way your website is built) plays a role in how search engines will rank that site. Clean, well structured and no much error scripts allow the search engines to crawl your site effectively and find what they are looking for.

#7. Uptime/Downtime:
It is impossible for search engines to rank a site if it is down. Server uptime will play a role in overall rankings. Regardless of the fact that blogger is a free host I still see it as one of the best, I've never experienced downtime on the blogger blogging platform. If your server environment is unreliable and often down for maintenance, not only will you will this make your reader look else where, but it also will also affect your ranking. Whenever search engine bots visit your site they find it unavailable, what do they do? They look for an available site to fill your ranking position.
