Hallu rajeesh! There is a special forum for search engine optimization at daniweb. So head on there and ask away to your heart's content. :)

you can create article for your domain and publish them.

The main thing to remember is that it looks at TEXT content in the html in your web page file. It can't see stuff in css files, scripts, dynamic content, image files, database files or auxillary files. And it ignores meta tags.

The order the websites are listed is determined by two factors:

1. The completeness of the match to the search parameters

2. The number of times the site has matched previous searches (tie breaker)

Remember that your ISP must allow robots to search its contents for your site to be searchable with search engines.

One other thing: If the name of the site contains non-alphanumeric characters (such as a hyphen or an asterisk), the search engine can not find it.

I thought SEO was about prepping your site's content so that it will figure 'highly' or be 'significant' in search engine results?

*by prepping I meant, using descriptive page/post titles, having an organized content structure, etc.

What are the famous bookmarking sites ?? Please help

[kanaku]

social bookmarking site

heehee... just kidding

Try Digg. But I strongly suggest preparing your content first... :(

digg.com would be a good one but depending on what your site is about there are others as well.

I actually can't name anything else at the top of my mind. hehehe

I was hoping to distract him with my ninja skills into making valuable content so that people who happen to visit his site will stay (and hopefully sign-up). Otherwise what's the point of popularity?

[roryt]

We don't know what the site is!

Consider video sharing , Podcasting, forum participation, slide sharing, social news participation initially ....

Later stages consider LInk baiting ( article submissions, press releases, sharing quality documents, creating lists online)
