• Search-engines use descriptions and keywords to categorize your page, so make the most of submitting your page by including the following codes to make your site more search-engine friendly!

                <meta name="description" content="your description here">

                <meta name="keywords" content="a few keywords about your site here">   (separate keywords with commas)

         To see an example of the codes listed above, check out the source for

• Search-engines will often take the first 50-150 words from the page as the page's description, so make sure you use your keywords listed in the meta-tags throughout your site. It is recommended to use each keyword in the text of your site two to three times per page (but not more that four or five times) so search-engines will pick up on those words and enable your site to be found.  Not having the appropriate number of keywords can make your page much harder to submit to search engines, and difficult to find for the person searching. 

• It is also highly recommended to include your keywords in the title of your home page.  This will help search engines give you a higher rating and make your site more accessible to people trying to find your site.

• Another great way to publicize your site is to go to www.submit-it.com.  Simply fill out the required forms and for a small fee, they will submit your site to your choice of up to 400 search-engines.
