What is a search engine friendly website?

A search engine friendly website can be defined as "a user-friendly website that can be easily found in the search engines." There are as many "do's" as "do not's" when building a search engine friendly website. Let us explain a little below.

Search Engine Friendly website tips:

- Avoid websites with frames as they are not search engine friendly and can create problems for search engine spiders.

- Avoid websites in flash as search engines can not read the content in flash components. If you want some flash in your website a mixture of flash and html is recommended.

- Menus in plain text work best, these menus should contain your target keywords which these internal website pages target.

- Sitemaps can help the search engine spiders find all the pages of your website in one spot.

- Research your target keywords and keyword competition.

- Use keyword rich URLs as it helps get your target keywords into an important component of your website pages.

- Meta data such as keywords, descriptions and page titles should include your target keywords.

- Build links to your website from relevant websites, preferably websites which also rank well in the search engines for target keywords.

This is of course only the beginning.
