Tips for designing search engine friendly web site
- Do not use image maps without text links.
One of the biggest misconceptions about search-engine friendly site is that they use of image maps for navigation. But its the fact that search engines cannot or will not follow the links inside of an image map.The main reasons for this is the potential for spam abuse - Do not use drop down menus.
As Drop Down Manus are built in Scripting language, which are not readable for Search engine Spider. So minimize the use of Scripting language and drop down manus. - Do not use frames.
The URL of a frameset is same, regardless of how many links were followed inside it. When search engine spider encounter a frames page all they see is they outline of the frames, they assume it is a dead page, so Search Engine robots do not read pages with frames. - Do not use dynamic content on pages you want to be indexed.
Dynamic pages are generated from data in a database. But Search Engine do not know how to get into the database and they drop that page from indexing. - Position Your Keywords In Mata Tags.
The most powerful meta tags are the title and description meta tags. - Include Heading Tags.
Heading tags separate each section of web page with subheadings. The H1 tag is the most significant and contains the largest font. - Optimize images using the alt tag.
Write a short description for the alt tag of image because search engines only spider text, so this could help your site. - Create absolute links.
This will increase the number of links pointing to your home page. - Do not place JavaScript above your meta tags.
- Do not put optimized content deeper than three levels.
- Use Cascading Style Sheets.
