After uploading the website to your webhost, you want it get good exposure on the major search engines Google, Yahoo, and Bing.  To ensure maximum exposure to your site on these search engines, there are few things & practices that you need to remember for search engine optimization (SEO).

At the time of website creation you need to ensure the addition of certain Meta tags that the search engines look at but are not visible to the site’s visitor.  Including Meta tags, title tag or the title of the webpage is of at most importance.  Ensure that the title describes the corresponding webpage.  Say e.g. the title of my blog is Tips To Do Search Engine Optimization.  The title appears in the top of your browser (title bar).  Tip: do not put ‘Home Page’ as your title.  Many people do that blunder in their website’s main page.

Limit your title to 60 characters since some search engines will cut off the title at 60 characters.

The other things that a search engine robot looks for on your web page are the web page description and the keywords.  The keywords determine which web pages will come up when people search in the search engine.  The description will be shown under your website title so people can skim through the list of websites and determine which one most closely fits what they are searching for. Google offers a keyword tool to help you pick the best keywords for your site. The images in the site should also be properly optimized with correct values in the title, alt and source attributes.

Make sure that you submit your site to the four big search engines:  Google, Yahoo, Bing, and AOL.
