        Your title is too spammy, shorten it.

        Have a much higher quality image for the slideshow on the homepage, and this can be something assignment related to help bring in image search traffic also.

        It's very hard to say how long it takes to reach the first page of Google, but there are many things you can do in order to boost that timeframe, such as regularly creating original and fresh content, ideally on a daily basis through the means of a blog or new pages.

        Ensure your sitemap (http://www.makemyassignments.com/sitemap.xml) is submitted to Webmaster Tools and you are keeping an eye on it for any errors with crawling etc.

        I notice you are giving people the opportunity to purchase through you also, so in that case I would recommend you switch your site to https mode instead of http. This was recently discovered to be a ranking factor:

            How much time will it take to reach the first page of Google?

            Nobody can answer that question without studying:

            -- the search terms that you are attacking

            -- the methods that you are using

            -- the amount of time that you are spending

            -- the intensity of your competition

            One of the greatest problems with SEO is that people are unable to answer this question.  For example, a retailer might want to be on the first page of google for "digital cameras" and hires an SEO saying that his budget is $1000/month.  But that is probably not enough to accomplish the goal. Why?  Because his competitors have a fifteen year head start and they are working at a rate faster than $1000/month.

            Because some SEOs do not know how to answer the question, or just take the $1000 and do the work, lots of webmasters are paying good money to attack a goal that will never be reached.

            So you might never accomplish a goal, even though you know how to accomplish that goal.

              First thing that came to my mind was "how long is a piece of string"

              Agree with Egol is somewhat comes down to the more you put in the more you get out

                The time it takes to reach the first page will depend on your link building strategy. Everything else is pretty much irrelevant and those who suggest otherwise are being dishonest.

                  That's not entirely true and not future proof either.
