Search engine optimization is how you can get  yourself and your site found. 

Do not rip your content from a competitor’s site. This is a common mistake that many newbies make The chances are high that the search engines will have already indexed the competitor's site. In this case you will not have unique content and instead is merely a duplicate with a different domain. Do yourself a favor and write unique content that is different from someone eyesryone elses, it will get your site noticed and ensure you don't have a lot of angry webmaster baying for your blood too. 

Do not touch 'Black Hat' you will only end up getting kicked of sponsor programes, banned by search engines, and have a ban slapped on your domain too. Keep SEO in mind at all times but avoid sounding like a robot in your text. A good  rule is to connect with your visitors with plain language they will understand. Don't SEO to the detriment of your surfers. 

When writing good content pretend you have someone that just asked you what are the benefits to what is on offer at your site alone. You should explain in your own words the specific advantages and why your own site is different from your competitors. Sell your pants off in your  sales text but stop short of wild exagerations!

Or...change a few from time to time and monitor your results and website rankings.
