dirtvoyles Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm now interested in playing with Google for some SEO and submitting a sitemap. Does anyone have any suggestions on how-to, not-to, etc.? My site is just a personal plaything, but I'm trying to learn about all this stuff as a hobby. FYI - I did read some of the SEO tutorials, but I couldn't pull a whole lot out of them as I'm still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iki Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm no expert, but I did hear that the meta keywords tag is dead. I tend to visit Search Engine Watch for info on that sort of thing - most of it is a little over my head for my own personal sites, but some of it did come in handy for one I needed to show up on the engines. Search Engine Watch Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevan Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) From what I understand, one key ingredient is to have links to your site from related sites. And a link on the TCH Family pages wouldn't hur either! Edited September 23, 2006 by stevevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtvoyles Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Okay, now I guess we can all make fun of me for not finding this using Google. I HATE when people do what I just did. Sorry if this hit anyone that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinidi Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Its happened to me before too. You hit your forehead and say DOH! Yeah. Been there. It's okay! We don't mind. Well, I don't mind, at least, even if I can't speak for others. Sometimes I just need people to remind me of the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtvoyles Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well, thanks to the Google link above, I was able to make a sitemap and submit it to the big G. They reviewed it and say it is error free. Thanks again for your help guys. I don't think that I'll gain anything by this other than experience, but it's good to get the support from you anyway.
