Tips on Helping Search Engines Find Your Site

I know that several of us "own" web sites, either for our company or for private use. Either way, you may want to improve the probability that a search by potential clients or potential readers will show your web site on the first page of the results. This post provides a list of useful information on how to make that happen. I'll continue to add to it as I find information I think might be useful.

• A page with a number of "how to" links
• Google "AdWords Keyword Tool" provides information on how often keywords are searched.
• Google Analytics, which you can add to Google websites to provide statistics on which keywords visitors used, number of visits, etc.
• Google webmaster central, provides lots of tips
• PCWorld article, provides tips and links
