by Maria Marsala

Summary: Very short but powerful tip about search engines.

• Your information contained in your domain name
  Example: www.CoachMaria.com
  www.WordsAreUs.com
• The words used in the name of each pages
  Example: www.TheResourceQueen.com/favorites/webmarketing.html
• The Title you give each page of your web site.
  Example: Good Title : About Business Coach Maria Marsala
  Bad titles: About or About Maria
• Meta Tags (description and keywords are mandatory)

• Keywords used at the beginning of paragraphs after"header tags" i.e. <.h1> <.h2> ( but without the ".").
  Resource: http://http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol4/html_no9.htm
• Links to your web site from other web sites.
  Example: Think collaboration; give away some articles you've written, link swaps, etc.
• Tell the search engines about your site by adding your web site to search engines

• These steps will help your web site be found more easily. However, it is possible that you will add all the above items and your site will not be listed in the top ten for the keywords you've chosen. There is then one more way to help your web site - actually it's a person. What they do is called "search engine optimization" and you can find resources to them at www.TheResourceQueen.com/favorites/webmarketing.html
