| Step: #1 Submit your Domain name to the Search Engines |
||||
| Once you have your site ready to launch it is important to make sure that the search engines aware that your site needs to be ‘Crawled’ or ‘Indexed’.

| Step: #2 Use Keywords in your Page & File names |
||||
| A very good and often overlooked method of getting the individual pages of your website ranking highly in search engines is to make sure that when naming pages in your web building software you choose names that contain relevant keywords for that specific page. You can name both the ‘Filenames’ and the ‘Browser Titles’. For example, if a particular page of your site contains information on bicycle prices in Edinburgh use a page name like bicycle-prices-edinburgh.html. A page name like this does not need to include words like ‘and‘, ‘of”, ‘in‘ etc. only the keywords relevant to the page content. When it comes to naming the Browser Title something like ‘yourdomain.com – A Price List of Bicycles for Sale in Edinburgh’ would be a good choice as you can see this contains a good selection of keywords.
