Site Map submission: http://www.google.com/addurl(1-2 Months before indexing)

Most important for Google are three factors:

- PageRank, - Link anchor text - Semantics.

When targeting optimization for Google, be sure to use your keywords in the following:

Your domain name - important! First words of the TITLE tag; HTML heading tags H1 to H6; ALT text as long as you also describe the image; Quality content on your index page. Try to make the length of your home page at least 300 words, however, don't hide anything from visitors' eyes (VERY IMPORTANT!). Link text for outgoing links. Drop-down form boxes created with the help of the SELECT tag. Finally, try to have some keywords in BOLD.

On-page factors considered by Google

Now that we've examined off-page factors that have primary importance for Google, let's take a look at

on-page factors that should be given attention before submitting to Google.

Google does not consider the META keyword tag for counting relevancy. While your META description tag

contents can be used by Google as the description of your site in the search results, the META description does not

have any influence for relevancy count. Nowadays META tags don't influence website position in

search results absolutely. They can be of use as additional information source about the Web page for surfers only.
