I have tried to increase my ranking in google for a year now. I use IBP and follow all they recommend. I just reasently read that adding a google blog will increase your site rating. What is your responce to this? Also i read that providing RSS Feeds will also help. We have a very nice site for children clothing at cheap prices. maybe you'll take a look and make some other recommendations. Thanks, Our site is http://www.realclassykids.com/onlinestore/
RSS feeds or a blog aren't going to help that much yet. You should focus on your existing site before adding things like these to it. Here are my recommendations:

Make a sitemap with static links to all the pages on your site using relevant anchor text.

You need to have more text on the home page with keywords that you are targeting in the text. Replace the image text at the top with actual text.

You need a lot of links into your homepage and sub pages. Make sure the links have the anchor text you want your site to rank for in them.

Make the 'Home' links go to the address:
http://www.realclassykids.com/onlinestore/
and not:
http://www.realclassykids.com/online...ain_page=index

The more you use variables in your links, the harder it is to rank properly.

I would personally remove the ads from the bottom, and remove the IP address from the bottom.

Mainly, you need to stick around this and other SEO related forums and learn SEO in depth. Your site needs a lot of work as far as optimizing to rank well goes. Ranking a site is not something that is going to happen over night.
