Make your site search engine friendly.

hi,
long time i havent blogged.
this is mainly regarding “how to make our site more easily searchable by internet Search engines”
for optimizing for search here are some basic steps you can take..

1. for each page have a unique URL so that while crawling its easy for follow links based on that.. (avoid using ajax based content fetching.)

2. have a RSS feed and include it in public RSS readers like. http://www.mybloglog.com/ , www.bloglines.com , google reader etc etc. This help in pulling data from the server and be cached on others.. by starting communities and discussions the linkIn to site increase drastically. particularly helpful for pragyan.

3. you need to register your domain on many online directories.. examples are dir.yahoo.com

4.Also submit your search for it to be crawled check http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request .
5. further check the site explorer of yahoo https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites here i think it needs to authorize the exploring process.

6. for google there is option called addUrl http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

7. further site searchability can be enhanced by submitting site url in directories like Open Directory Project (dmoz.org ), or MSN Directory are noticed by the Yahoo! Web Crawlers.

thats all i found.. feel free to pour in suggestions for the same.
