 Googleability using Dreamweaver 8 I used to know how to make something 'googleable' using GoLive back in school, but I no longer use that and I can't find out how to do it in Dreamweaver. Any ideas as to how to make my site show up in a google search? Thanks a bunch fellas!  |

| Use proper semantic code (organized properly, standards complaint) and fill in your meta tags (keywords and description) with relevant, to the point, information. Don't go overboard on those, else Google will dock the page positions.

| Okay, I've done what I'm sure is the proper inserting of meta tags. I actually viewed the source of a buddy's page that shows up in a Google/Yahoo search every time and my Dreamweaver commands created the same thing. How long does one typically have to wait for the search engines to crawl the web again and update their info.? I'm imagining it's not instantaneous. Any ideas on that, or should I already see results? |

| It depends on a lot of factors. Could be anywhere from a few hours to thirty days.

| Wow. Very complicated question. Some good ways to get on Google Search Results is... - LINK, LINK, LINK; as in trade links, make a link page, host external links. - USE HONEST content, descriptions, etc. In other words, don't ATTEMPT to fool the spider bots. They'll know. - Create a Google Account and submit 2-3 pages on your own. - Try to not have your important (keyword heavy) content too far down in the code and/or hosting server directory. (e.g #1. having all your keyword-heavy paragraphs near the bottom of your code, say...near the closing </body> is probably not a good idea) - Metatag generated keywords aren't as important for GOOGLE in particular. GOOGLE looks more at the pages content. But it's still a good idea to have keywords for the other search engines. When using them, try not to use one-word keywords. Try to use short-phrases or 2 or more-word terms. Hope that helps.
