How can I raise my website's placement on google?

The most important thing is for lots of websites to link to you. It doesn't work if you just set up a bunch of fake websites. Google ranks by popularity, so the more popular the sites are that refer to you, the better.

Listing your site in dmoz.org (open directory) and yahoo directory are a great way to instantly boost your ranking.

Google doesn't look at meta tags either, so make sure every relavent word is somewhere in your text or an alt tag.

(Did I mention The Lonely Island?)

Oh, also, submitting your site to google is practically useless, some say even negative. Google likes to find sites via links from other sites.
