Building Optimized Sites

This is a brief overview of different ways you can improve the usability and load time of your site, as well as help search engines gather content more effectively from all of your pages.

When it comes to SEO there's no myth behind the different tricks and techniques it takes to bring people to your site, the simple answer is to develop lots of content with high density keywords and well formatted content illustrating to the search engine which keywords are your most important by using heading tags, bold fonts, lists, and linking to relative content.

Having well formatted content is the most important procedure, however, without an optimized layout developed using the right methods your going to make it very hard for search engines to find this content. To satisfy this request from search engines it helps to refer to the W3C Validator and optimize your code until it's web standard compliant or close to being fully compliant. By doing so your allowing the search engine crawlers to navigate throughout your site without running into any road blocks along the way.

Another helpful strategy to direct search engines primarily to your content is to remove all of the tabular content, unnecessary tags and all other code which can be developed using style sheets and div's. You can learn more about this method of coding by viewing some of the resource links on the right panel.
