It could happen, but paid search is usually first. I would do a search at what you think people want from your site. Ask yourself a question: If i was looking for (subject), what words would I (or others) use? Think like that and you MAY be golden. And have your site scanned for content - find the most common used words. Also, use keywords in your keyword meta tag. If you don't know what those are, visit http://www.webmasterworld.com/ for some excellent tips & tricks.. . Good Luck!!. . Nothing to do with what you want, but come Visit:. .

What search terms do you want it to be found on the top pages for?. . You can achieve this with absolutely no money spent at all. Even the number 1 spot is simple if you work hard, on what terms you want to be found under and organise properly.. . Just dont expect it to happen on a one word search.. . Several things to think about. Dont try to cheat the engines, you will lose. Make sure you use your chosen search term enough times weighted against the rest of the text on your page. You really need a domain name that consists of your search terms. Use meta tags responsibly. Dont use hidden text. Use headings tags properly and make sure your search terms appear in them.. . Look up 'seo' on your fav search engine and read up on it. It can take a while.
