Search Engine Optimization (SEO) now-a-days covers quite a range of items that your website will need.

First of all there is no single item that will do the trick. Its a combination of of various pieces to the puzzle. Part of it lies within your website and the other part you can call an "outreach" program by getting your links onto other websites (e.g. blogs, social bookmarks, forums, press releases, etc)

Outside of that you also are missing a DocType in your HTML code. Take a look here:

While you're at the W3C take a look at your validation errors too:
