The list below shows 20 handy hints we provide to assist our client's websites rank better within Google (and the other major search engines!)
1. Make sure that each page has a different title
The title of each page is very important to good search engine ranking. It should be about 60 - 70 characters long and describe the content of the page. It is not necessary to include the name of the website within the title of the page. The title is shown in search results and should therefore be used to entice visitor to click the link to your site.
2. Ensure that each page has a different and informative description
The meta-description is also important to good search engine ranking. This should be about 140 characters long, describing the contents of the page and be easy to read.
3. Don't overstuff your keywords meta tag with too many keywords
The keywords meta tag are ignored by many search engines. Use for common misspellings of words on the page.
4. Make sure that your webpages validate at the w3c website
Ensure that you include a DOCTYPE declaration.
5. Make sure that each page in your site has interesting content
This will ensure that other sites want to link to your site. The best way to get links to your site is through 'genuine' recommendations in the form of links from other related and reputable sites.
6. Don't use a splash page for your site
Splash pages may look good, but can act as a barrier to both visitors and search engines.
7. Avoid using Javascript menus which search engines aren't able to crawl
Although some menus can look great, there is a possibility that you may be preventing search engines and some visitors from accessing the pages linked from the menu.
8. Make sure you don't place valuable content in images
All your valuable content should be textual and not presented in images, Flash movies, animated gifs, etc.
9. Make sure that if your site is dynamically generated, that you are not using too many URL parameters (3 maximum)
Google will pick up page with more than 3 URL parameters, but some of those pages may end up as 'supplementary results' (these are second class results). Ensure that you don't pass session IDs (or anything that may look like a session ID) in URLs.
10. Don't use bulk search engine submission programmes or services
Although still marketed widely, bulk submission programmes are worthless. It is a much better use of time finding related and reputable sites to get links from.
11. Don't use unnecessary meta tags (e.g. author, copyright, classification etc)
These simply add to the size of your pages and don't have any beneficial effect. The most important tags for search engine ranking are title tag and the description meta tag.
12. Don't prevent search engines from visiting your site when they want to by excluding them with the robots tag
By all means, use the robots.txt file to restrict search engines from 'private' areas of your site, but make sure that you are not also preventing them from accessing your prime content as and when they want to.
13. Try not to use deprecated markup such as font tags
By using CSS you make your site more future-proof, accessible from more browsers and also (potentially) more search engine friendly.
14. Try to use CSS instead of HTML and tables for styling
By separating styling from content using CSS, you reduce the complexity of each of your website's pages and make site wide changes easier. Also, this helps increase the content to HTML ratio, thereby possibly helping with search engine ranking.
15. Reference an included JavaScript file rather than using it within your HTML
Many pages on the web are littered with JavaScript. This saves bloat and makes maintenance easier. Move all JS to a separately referenced .JS file instead.
16. Make sure that you target keywords and phrases that are likely to be used by your target visitors
Avoid using industry buzzwords if you are promoting B2C products and services.
17. Include a sitemap to provide easy access to the main pages within your site
Try to keep the number of links on each page at no more than 50 - 100. Use multiple pages if required. Structure the site map for human visitors not just search engines.
18. Make sure that you include alt-text (alternative text) for all images on your site
Alt-text are the little yellow popups that are shown when you hover a mouse over the images on your site. These will benefit visitors with disabilities as well as providing a small SEO benefit.
19. Don't get hung-up on PageRank
Page Rank is just one measure of the importance of a page, not the only one!
20. Write for human visitors not search engines
It is often very easy to try to optimise for search engines and forget that the content within your site needs to be read by humans. Make sure that pages are well structured using headings, paragraphs, bold, italics, bullet points (all using CSS). Break long pages into a number of smaller pages. About 400 - 600 characters for each page is enough.
Quick notes...
■Google focuses more on inbound links and the quality of those links than some other search engines. Read our guidelines on link building for improved search engine ranking.
■Yahoo tends to focuses more on 'on-the-page' factors
■When writing link text (anchor text), try to avoid using the 'targeted phrase' exactly. Instead, reword using variants of the 'targeted phrase'.
■Try to get links into interior pages of your site.
■Avoid getting links into your site from every page of another site (site-wide links

Mass Search Engine Submission
Although we suggest that you submit your site to the major search engines manually, you may wish to to use an automatic submission tool (see Free Web Tools) or paid service to submit to the many smaller search engines and directories.
Web Launch URL Submission Service - Submit your site to top 34 search engines for FREE. There is no obligation whatsoever for this free service (however, we appreciate your linking to us if you find this service useful). If you need more exposure, we can submit your site to over 300 search engines for just $4.95.
After Submitting
After submitting your site to the search engines, check them periodically to make sure that it's listed. Your site may not appear in the search results because the crawler has not gotten to it, yet. Resubmit if you wish. Resubmitting a site that has been submitted already won't help your site get listed faster, but it won't hurt, either. If your site is listed but is poorly ranked in the search results, check its html to make sure it's properly optimized for the keywords that you are targeting. Even well-optimized, content-rich sites may not get ranked highly at first because of poor link popularity. In that case, keep promoting it the word gets around.
Speaking of link popularity, we would greatly appreciate your linking to this site if you find it useful. Just copy and paste the follow code into your html:

Website Promotion - Increase Your Site Traffic.
You have created a brilliant website and now it's time to get some traffic. This small five step guide can give you some help on how to succeed with website promotion.
1. Submit your site to search engines.
2. Submit your site to different directories.
3. Submit your site to pay-per-click search engines
4. Exchange links with other sites.
5. Join a traffic exchange program.
1. Submit your site to search engines.
This is a "must do". Before you submit your site to the engines make sure that your site is search engine optimized. After that, consider submitting your site to search engines for free, using our automatic service, or do it by hand.
.2. Submit your site to different directories.
Submitting your site to directories does not only give you more hits, it also increases your link popularity. The number of web pages linking to your site is considered an important factor by many search engines to achieve a high ranking. A link from an important site such as Yahoo is given more weight than any other link.
Submitting to directories are not as easy as submitting to search engines. You have to make sure that there are no dead links or "under construction pages" on your site. They do not accept such sites. Read more about how to add your site on their information pages below.

3. Submit your site to pay-per-click-search engines.
If you are in a hurry to get your site noticed, or if you have money to spend on advertising, pay-per-click search engines offers a perfect solution.
You pick the keywords suitable for your site, the ones you need to attract the right type of visitors to your site. Then you set a rate that you are willing to pay for each click on the keywords that you have selected. The search results are ordered after the highest bid on the searched keyword and as an advertiser you only need to pay if the searcher clicks on your link. This way, you only pay for the visitors that you actually receive.
There are dozens of pay-per-click search engines on the Internet and some can bring you a lot of traffic and some will probably not be that good. The pay-per-click search engine with most searches is without question Yahoo! Search Marketing. They provide search results at several major search engines including Yahoo!, Ebay, Alltheweb, Infospace, AltaVista, and many others.
Other major pay-per-click search engines:
4. Exchange links with other sites.
As mentioned before, link popularity is considered an important factor by many search engines to achieve a high ranking ,so you would want your link on as many other sites as possible. Links from sites related to yours are also given more weight by the search engines so you should try to get your link on such sites.
People move from one site to another through links. A well placed link on a site that attracts the same visitors as yours can be a great traffic generator. If you want to find sites to exchange links with, check out who's linking to your competitors and try to exchange links with them. Keep in mind that a link exchange should be beneficial for both parts.
5. Join a traffic exchange program.
Traffic exchanges gives you an opportunity to advertise for free on other sites. There are many different types of traffic exchanges such as banner, text link, exit, popunder and popup exchanges.
When selecting a traffic exchange make sure that they offer extensive fraud control and targeted categories otherwise it will most likely just end up as a waste of your time. Fraud control is important cause sometimes members of the exchanges are using automated bots to receive free traffic from other members in the exchange. Meaning that you will send them real visitors and they will send you robot visits. Targeted categories is a must, and the more targeted, the better, cause these are the visitors that are most likely to be interested in your website.

There are dozens of pay-per-click search engines on the Internet and some can bring you a lot of traffic and some will probably not be that good. The pay-per-click search engine with most searches is without question Yahoo! Search Marketing. They provide search results at several major search engines including Yahoo!, Ebay, Alltheweb, Infospace, AltaVista, and many others.

4. Exchange links with other sites.
As mentioned before, link popularity is considered an important factor by many search engines to achieve a high ranking ,so you would want your link on as many other sites as possible. Links from sites related to yours are also given more weight by the search engines so you should try to get your link on such sites.
People move from one site to another through links. A well placed link on a site that attracts the same visitors as yours can be a great traffic generator. If you want to find sites to exchange links with, check out who's linking to your competitors and try to exchange links with them. Keep in mind that a link exchange should be beneficial for both parts.
5. Join a traffic exchange program.
Traffic exchanges gives you an opportunity to advertise for free on other sites. There are many different types of traffic exchanges such as banner, text link, exit, popunder and popup exchanges.
When selecting a traffic exchange make sure that they offer extensive fraud control and targeted categories otherwise it will most likely just end up as a waste of your time. Fraud control is important cause sometimes members of the exchanges are using automated bots to receive free traffic from other members in the exchange. Meaning that you will send them real visitors and they will send you robot visits. Targeted categories is a must, and the more targeted, the better, cause these are the visitors that are most likely to be interested in your website.
