  1. Make meta tags relevant to the web page – not specifically to the site<\/li>\n
  2. Add ALT<\/i> attributes to images and make sure it describes the image<\/li>\n
  3. Add Title<\/i> attributes to links and make sure it describes the link and its function<\/li>\n
  4. Have content that changes periodically – blog or news feeds can add dynamic and relevant content<\/li>\n
  5. Flash-based content and sites with a lot of images are difficult<\/li>\n
  6. Use the Google \/ Yahoo site manager tools
    ( http:\/\/google.com\/webmasters\/tools<\/a> ) or ( http:\/\/siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com<\/a> )<\/li>\n
  7. Use a good stat services like StatCounter.com or Google Analytics<\/li>\n
  8. Keep to W3C standards ( http:\/\/validator.w3.org<\/a> )\n

    Note: <\/b>A good web developer will not charge extra for most of these points. \u00a0A site is worthless unless setup properly for search engines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
