Hi everybody I hope i am publushing my thread at the write place , otherwise admin feel free to replace it.
The problem is that i would like to add some keywords to the site i made so people would easily find it through the search engine. Google doesnt really work, and i know there is more sophisticated way to do it through the HTML code in Dreamweaver, i just dont know how????
Can anyone give me some idea
TNx in advance

Search Engine Optimisation is a BIG area to get into, and while adding keywords to your HTML is definately going to help, it's only a very small piece of the action.

You need to target a specific set of keywords and phrases that you think people are going to search for. There are several tools that can help you do this if you do some searching for "keyword suggestion tools" or similar.

Make sure you have your keywords and phrases in particular places throughout your site - most importantly, in the page titles, headings and links etc. What you are aiming for is a seperate page or even section of your site that is targeted to each keyword or phrase.

Compliant, semantic markup will help, and try and have as much of your pages content towards the top of the page (in the code, not neccessarily in the design). Use alt and title tags to add some keywords but don't overstuff. Javascript menus are a no because they generally hide the links to your pages. This is also true for flash. Generally you want as much HTML and page content as possible, and the SEs have a hard time indexing the content in most flash files.

The most important factor is links, and lots of them. You want as many as humanly possible as they will be the deciding factor in your SERPS. The easiest way to get free links is to submit your site to one of the thousands of free directories. http://info.vilesilencer.com/ Is definately a good place to start.
