Tips to ensure high ranking within major search engines
What are currently the best methods when creating a website to ensure a high ranking within the major search engines?
The best two tips I can give you:
Put your target keywords in the <title> tag of your page. So if you want to be high in the search results for New York Widgets, make sure to include those words in your title tag.
Do what you can to get links TO your website from other high quality websites. If you can, have the TEXT of those links be the keywords that you are targeting (which probably match the title of the target page). Something like this:
<a href="http://www.newyorkwidgets.com">New York Widgets</a>

I agree with the preceeding two comments, plus I'll add my top 3 rules for good ranking... Content, Content and Content.
There are many things you can do to optimize your site's rank, including the preceeding comments, plus others, but the number one thing is to have content of relevance to the search. In general a page on your site should target one keyword and several supporting keywords. You can't tackle every keyword you want on one page, use many pages.
If you can find a way to get a link from Wikipedia that helps a ton, but don't violate the wikipedia terms of use, links from Squidoo are interesting, but not as good. And certainly if you can get links from .edu and .gov sites that would be great!

search engines such as Google completely ignore meta tags, JerSchneid.
as stated before, "latent semantic indexing" how words on a page relate to your content.
to do well in the search engine rankings, you need lots of info pages on your subject and update them often.
get links into you site over time, its hard work and takes time.
