Attended the Dreamweaver Intermediate Course earlier this week. Learned about Meta Tags and added Keywords & Descriptions for our website but still can't get "recognised" by Google or any other search engines. What else do I need to do?
Thank you

Hi Eugene

I hope you learned at lot from your Dreamweaver course.

The first thing to remember is that everything takes a little time to happen, so you changes may have an effect soon. However the other things that you need to consider in getting recognised by Google, the first is that you need to links back to your site, basically the more sites you have linking to your homepage the better, the second thing is to make sure you have lots of relevant content on your page.

Hope this helps

Hi Eugene,

You should research into Search Engine Optimisation and Search Engine Marketing (perhaps start on Google) to discover the many, many things you can do to climb the SERP results on major search engines.

There are quite a few external forums and web resources dedicated to this topic.

The META tags you mention used to be very important, but the search engines know that people can just stuff these tags with appropriate or misleading keywords, so they have to look at other elements of your pages to determine what is relevant.

Experts agree that the pages that seem to rank well in search engines have a lot of good quality, relevant content, and have lots of other web pages linking to the page. Try to have the best page on the internet for your chosen product or service, with all possible information a visitor could need.

It takes time and patience.

Regards, Rich
