Usually, the first step in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) would be to submit your website to search engines. Many people view this as a very important step in SEO, some even going as far as paying huge amounts to companies that promise to submit their sites to "thousands" of search engines. Before you break the bank, many an experienced programmer has said that you do not need thousands of search engines, but simply the top 5. Submitting your website means filling out a form that is provided by the search engine. Business - List of business/finance/loan/mortgage resources Computers - List of computer hardware/software/peripheral resources Internet - List of webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing resources Software - List of software resources Web Design - List of web design/development resources Web Hosting - List of web hosting resources Web Promotion - List of search engine optimization/internet marketing resources Web Resources - List of other web resources Recreation - List of travel/hotel/cruise resources Casino - List of online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette resources Health - List of online pharmacy/hospital/health resources Shopping - List of online shopping/gift resources Miscellaneous - List of all other resources not stated above
The second step many programmers take is to place keywords in the META tag. A META tag is simply a special HTML tag that is used to provide information about a website, but, it doesn't affect what is displayed. Many times, it contains what the page is about, who created the page, how often it is updated, and the keywords that represent the page's content (some programmers put every conceivable keyword that could possibly be ranked with).It was thought by many that this was also an necessary step for page rankings, but search engines have wisened up and now sometimes ignore the META tags and focus on the site's content, and many other factors. Many have been surprised that even if the keyword was not in their META tags, search engines still manage to find them because the site content was relevant to the words being searched. |
