Before you submit your web
pages to the search engines you have to get them ready. Different search
engines index pages differently, but most read the keywords and descriptions
in the head of your HTML document.
If you've already entered your keywords
thenskip ahead to here.
Most HTML editors have options,
usually under document format, that allow
you to enter descriptive keywords
of your site. If not then paste this line
into the <HEAD> of your document.
Replace the green words with the
descriptive words of your pages.(
eg. images,links,bios) or whatever is on
your pages. Each web page should
have keywords pertaining to that page,
but you index page should have
the keywords for all your pages combined.
Do not SPAM or repeat a word in
your keywords, this can cause you to
be refused indexing by the search
engines.(eg. candy,candy,candy,candy)
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="keywords,search
engines,submitting">
One more thing. Some search engines
add a small description of your site.
They can either pull this description
out of the opening lines of text on your
page or from the Description metatag
in your document's header. The description should be a short paragraph,
not more than 256
characters. A few of the search
engines want you to enter this paragraph
when your submitting to them. Copy
the following line into the <HEAD>
of your document, making the necessary
changes.
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Getting
your pages ready for the search engines and then submitting them.">
