Is Your Web Site Submission Ready?

 Always make sure your web site is completely finished, spell-checked, online and HTML validated before submitting. 

We suggest that you send your site for validation with SITETOOLS.NET HTML validator. Just input your site's URL below:

Do not submit web sites with "Under-Construction" signs; all good web sites are always under construction.

Your web site content includes your keyword phrases.

Put the words which best describe your site at the top of the page (in the first few paragraphs of your text). You do not want a search engine to return a description of your web site that reads "Welcome to my homepage. This site best viewed with Internet Explorer."

You have used a descriptive HTML Title Tag.

Your web sites Meta Tags (both Description and Keywords) have been developed with high search engine placement in mind.

Your ALT Tags include keywords used in complete sentences.

You have used keywords within your links tags.

You have your own domain name. (Not required, but sometimes helpful)

All your web pages' URL's include appropriate keywords.

Your keyword phrases are in Header Tags not Font Tags.

You have registered your web site with either SafeSurf or RSACi.

Your web page must load quickly.  In order for your site to load quickly your images must be optimized so that those bloated images will be reduced. Let SiteTools.net GIFBot image optimization tool handle it for you.

If your web site is in frames, you have made good use of the <NOFRAMES> tag on your index page. Keep in mind that a site done in frames will RARELY place well in the search engines.

You have avoided using Meta Refresh. (This is considered to be spam by Alta Vista & Infoseek)

If you have used Server-Side Imagemaps, you have provided regular links as well.

Your web site does not include anything that could be considered spamming by the search engines.

Your index page is more than just a splash screen.
