Add to Search Engine Terms1) As Mentioned before, don’t be sneaky, don’t have any hidden bodies of text that don’t have anything to do with your website. Don’t have text that is the same colour as the background, they will find it!
2) Your page will get indexed faster if you have other sites linking to yours. Once again, don’t be sneaky by having other domains that are just links for your website.
3) Adding key words to your website, along with a description, will help people find your site, try and think of all the different things people may type into a search to find your website. Spelling mistakes might be good to add to your keywords as well. How do you do this? Here is what I put into the <head> of my website:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="html, xhtml, (x)html, css, web, site, website, webpage, page, building, coding, programming, code, layout, list, lists, table, tables, font, fonts, sizes, weight, weights, height, heights, tutorial, tutorials, how do I, drop down menu, add a search, search bar, w3c, validate, validation" />
<meta name="description" content="NM Web Tutorials is a web tutorial site that will help users who have no web coding experience, or a lot of web coding experience. A great resource if you need help, or just a few reminders to help build your website. My tutorials are geared towards people who learn visually, people who are good at using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. NM Web Tutorials is large and vast, to help give you a full understanding of just about anything you need to build your website (aside from content management systems)." />
