- 1). You must provide quality content on your site, especially your home page. This is the single most important thing that Google searches. To create an information-rich site, write pages that accurately describe your topic.
- 2). Get links for your site. The more sites that link to yours, the higher you will rank in the search results. But not all links are created the same. If your site is about computers, get other computer-related sites to link with you.
- 3). Build your site with a logical link structure. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
- 4). Use a text browser, such as Lynx, to examine your site. Most spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML or Macromedia Flash keep you from seeing your entire site in a text browser, then spiders may have trouble crawling it.
- 5). Create a site map to upload to Google and keep it updated. There are many tools available for creating sitemaps.
