Potential Design/Set Up Problems

Is your site set up properly for the search engines?

It can be very difficult to tell normally, but the Submit It! spider can tell you easily.
Optimizing for the Correct Keywords

To get listed correctly in the search engines each page of your site that you want listed needs to be optimized to the best of your ability. Since the keywords that you decide to target will be used throughout the optimization process choosing the right keywords is essential. If you choose the wrong keywords you will not be found in the search engines. If you are not found in the search engines how will anyone find your site?

Optimizing Your Title Tag

Without question the title tag of your page is the single most important factor to consider when optimizing your web page for the search engines. This is because most engines & directories place a high level of importance on keywords that are found in your title tag. The title tag is also what the search engines usually use for the title of your listing in the search results.

For best results in the engines they all should be!

Use the Submit It! spider to easily check every title tag on your site for optimization and fomatting problems.

Optimizing Your Page Copy
The copy on your page is also very important in order to achieve better search engine listings. Actually, it is very close to being as important as your title tag so make sure you keep reading! By 'copy' we mean the actual text that a visitor to your site would read.

Optimizing Your Meta Tags

Meta tags were originally created to help search engines find out important information about your page that they might have had difficulty determining otherwise. For example, related keywords or a description of the page itself.

Stop wondering if your Meta Tags are correct...

Use Submit It! to easily ensure your tags are optimized and formatted properly for best results.

 

Optimizing Your Images "alt" Attribute

Did you know that any images on your page can help your listings too? Each image on your page can include a keyword phrase or two that relates to the image. This text will also show up & help those that may have their images turned off when visiting your site. This does not work for all engines, but it certainly does not hurt so we recommend you give it a try where you can.
Do your images include keywords?

It's easy to forget to add appropriate keywords to your images, but not with Submit It!

Our spider automatically checks each page for keywords in your images and warns you if you forgot any!
