Improving Findability on SEO
Once your site is live, you can still do a few things to improve the findability. Google’s Webmaster guidelines offer specific suggestions for new and existing sites. Among them include the following tips:
Use a text browser, such as Lynx, to get a sense of how most search engine bots see your site. This exercise can help you determine where you may need to make changes for SEO. You can paste your URL in the Lynx viewer to find out how your page would look when viewed with Lynx, without having to download and install the browser.
Make sure that your site does not have duplicate content. Duplicate content can hurt your search engine ranking.
Create a XML sitemap for your web site and submit it to the major search engines; this gives the search engine bots a list of URLs on your site that you want them to index.
