Improve your position on the search engines
The fastest, cheapest, and most effective way to improve your web site's position
on search engines and directories is to emulate those sites that are already at or near
the top of these search engines. First, run a search using appropriate keywords. Then,
view the HTML code for the sites that appear first in the results. Learn from the words
and usage and create your own keyword list. Finally, insert your keyword list into the
"keywords" META tag in your index (default) web page.
Get your site listed more than once
If you change the <TITLE> tag on your home page, the next time you submit
your site to a search engine it will think you are submitting a new site. Result: you get
listed more than once!
Repeat keywords on your home page
Many search engines calculate the value of keywords based on how frequently they
are used on a web site. While repeating some keywords three or four times may be
acceptable, too much repetition will cause some search engines to ignore your submission.
Use descriptive text at the top of your home page
In general, search engines assign a high degree of importance to words that appear
at the top of web pages. It is always a good idea to put as much descriptive information
as you can at or near the top of your home page.
Advice for frames pages
Always include descriptive text (keywords and keyword phrases) between the
<NOFRAMES></NOFRAMES> tags on your main page.
