Some very good tips from Damien and well worth your while to follow them.
Getting listed at dmoz.org is a must as then your site will be picked up by most directory listing sites, and some you may never have heard of, but it helps to up your link ranking. It can take a couple of weeks or even months now to get on dmoz as all submissions are handled by volunteers done manually.
Create a site map for your site and put a link to it on the bottom of every page so the search engine robots can follow and index all your site. A site map is just a page with a link to all your other pages.
Use the H1 H2 H3 tags which include your main keywords. A good idea when using these is to set the size of the font using CSS because as you may know, the H1 tag is a large font and looks out of place on a page.
example:- (the code has to be inside the Style tag )
h1 {
font-size: 12pt
;
font-weight: bold
;
color: #536daf;
margin-top: 0px
;
margin-bottom: 0px
;
}
Google uses the H tags to determine the content of sites now.
There are a lot of things you can do to help but take your time and with a little effort you can achieve a lot.
