So there is a need to make your website search engine friendly. The way through which one can make his website search engine friendly is called SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Following things should be kept in mind to do proper SEO;
- Use Meta tags in head section to tell the search engine that your website presents information about which topic. For example, if your website is related to Health and fitness, your meta tags should be like that;
<html><head><title>Free Health Tips Everyone</title>
<meta name=” description” content=” Free articles on health and fitness”>
<meta name=”keywords ”content=”health care, health tips, fitness”>
</head>
Now your website will look like this;
- Give the name of pages related to content
During the marking of your website, give the name of the pages according to their content. For example, if your website is related to mobile phones, and given the page names like page1.html, page2.html, page3.html, then such names can create a real problem for search engine to know about the content of that page. The solution is that if the page is about mobile tips, you can give its name as mobile_tips.html. For other pages, you can give names like mobile_downloads.html, mobile_software.html etc.
- Avoid using Frames
Avoid using plenty of frames on your website, as search engine crawlers can’t read the content inside a frame.
- Avoid Using Java and Flash during Site Development
Java, Flash and other modern web design techniques although helps to increase the beauty of a website but these also create problem for search engine to read the content properly. Although, Google has advance algorithms to read such content but to avoid risk, make use of Html.
2. Website Submission in popular Search Engines
