How to Create a Search Engine Friendly Web page

Introduction

With thousands and thousands of web pages being published daily it's no wonder that you cannot find your site or pages listed on the major search engines. Search Engines love content and want to index your pages, but if you do certain things they will not index your site or pages at all.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You'll Need

• Web design software ( notepad or any text editor will also work )
• Internet connection
• hosting space
• Assumption is that you already have a site, or pages on the hosting server.

Steps

1.) Open page you want to edit.

2.) Make sure you have a meta description , it should look like:

3.) Make sure you have some keywords that closely reflect the contents of the page.

4.) Make sure to add a tag for search robots commands:

see: www.robotstxt.org for standard commands and situations for using.

5.) Make sure your robots.txt file is not blocking search robots.

See http://www.robotstxt.org for more information.

6.) Make sure that any JavaScript used within the page will display the full URL of any other pages it's linking to.

7.) Make sure all images use the "ALT" tag description for the image.

8.) Make sure that all pages linked within the site are using the full URL for the link, some search engines do not like relative links ( ../../nextpage.asp ), use absolute links ( http://www.domainame.com/section/nextpage.asp ), so the search engine can index that page.

9.) Save page and upload to server.
