When designing a website, make sure you include proper META
tags in the HTML of each page. META tags are HTML code that
enable the search engines to determine what keywords are
relevant to a specific site.
About 80 percent of all web site traffic originates from
the eight major search engines. It would be a good idea to
make sure you've done your homework and fully understand how
to optimize your web pages prior to designing your website.
This will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
