Website Design / DEVELOPMENT

Much of your business web site traffic will come from search engines. Here are some search engine submission tips to keep in mind.

Search engines look for specific  titles, headings, meta tags - so it is crucial to make sure your site is "search engine friendly".

a. TITLE tags: Title tags should be 60 or so characters and include some keywords.

b. Header tags are numbered from 1 to 7: some search engines recognize Header tags. So make sure you use these tags for each of the titles on your page.

c. Keyword Meta tags: Add no more than 15 to 20 keywords to keep the search engines from flagging your site for keyword spamming.

d. Prioritize your words. The best way to submit to search engines is to submit to each search engine individually.

e.. Use keywords in the text area of each page. They are especially important at the beginning of sentences and higher up on the page.
