You also might submit to directories. Unlike to search engines, where robots crawl and pick up web sites, human beings decide if a web site will be accepted for indexing in a directory. The description has to be well composed and decent. You need to avoid exaggerations, if you want to have a chance for a free listing in prominent, high ranking directories. By way: Most of people do not trust ads with exaggerated promises. They just skip them.

The keywords

AEIWI and others limit META content text to 80 signs or 10 keywords. If you choose right keywords, 10 keywords are enough. They should be derived from title and description in order to achieve a favorable effect.

There is more space for keywords within ALT IMG link tag of a graphic. You can insert hundreds of keywords, using tag ALT=”keyword1, keyword2, keywordn,...” within ALT IMG link tag. The keywords are hidden behind graphic. The robots of Scrub The Web and sometimes also of Google crawl them.

Start practizing!

Now you may test how it works. The best way to find out effect is by practising.

There are, of course, solutions to this that will appease both website designer and search engine optimizer. As a suggestion, consider using standard rollovers and/or CSS formatting to develop a graphically pleasing navigation menu. Unlike most JavaScript menus, neither standard rollovers nor CSS will "hide" your website's links, allowing search engines to freely crawl and index your websites pages.

If a JavaScript navigation menu is truly needed to attain desired look and feel of your website, than consider adding text-based links elsewhere on your website's pages, such as bottom. Bottom navigation schemes consisting of text-based links are becoming very common now-a-days, as they ultimately provide your website's visitors, and search engines, with another source for navigating. Another suggestion would be to develop and allow access to a sitemap containing all of your website's pages.

Flash vs. HTML - Flash is a pain in sides of all SEO consultants... but it doesn't have to be. It is possible to mix Flash with HTML to create a search engine friendly website that still allows for a rich media experience.

My suggestion for when developing a website using Flash is to create separate pages, those in Flash and others in HTML. Not only will you be giving your website's visitors a choice of which version he or she would like to view (which most will appreciate), but you will also be giving your website chance to be indexed and ranked through your HTML versions. A very good compromise if you ask me.

Dynamic Websites - Depending on how your particular system is configured and how your website's dynamic pages are created, use of dynamic websites can either be a great thing or a very terrible thing. Because dynamic web pages are data-based driven and are created on fly, they are usually assigned URLs containing very large and strange looking parameters. These parameters, amongst other reasons, are needed in order to sort products and generate a central navigation for your website's visitors. At same time, these parameters make it very difficult for many search engines to crawl, follow, or index your website's pages.

My suggestion to this problem is to consult with your development team, and your search engine marketing consultant, and have them consider developing your content management system using either ASP (Active Server Pages) or CFM (Cold Fusion). Either one of these "dynamic scripting languages" has possibility of converting URL's query string from "?" (which will usually stop a search engine from indexing page) into "/". This process, and a few others, maybe all that is needed in order to give your dynamically driven web pages opportunity to be indexed.

In my experience, designers who understand these and other common search engine friendly design issues are perfectly capable of designing around them, without sacrificing their design or future search engine rankings. As long as designer and search engine optimizer come together in very beginning, as opposed to after website has been created, than finding a compromising solution to each of their needs should not be a problem.
