These include keyword density, Keyword prominence, Meta tags, Title and inbound links, ok yes I know its sounds pretty daunting and many IM gurus would have you believe that but just read on and take every little bit at a time.

In basic terms you need to find the keywords and keyword terms often called long tail keywords that people interested in your niche are using to search for information., so as an example if you are in a niche, lets say 'grooming & training long haired poodles' then although that is generically in the dog grooming market - the keyword dog grooming is A very competitive and B very broad so you want to niche down to say 'poodle grooming', or 'long haired poodle grooming' or 'how to groom your long haired poodle' (good example of a long tailed keyword)- make sense?

Then once you have these keywords & phrases they need to be used strategically on your site and it pages. Therefore Google know what your site is about & when someone searches for 'grooming long haired poodles' Google can direct them to your site - job done
