Web Site Checklist - Getting Indexed by Search Engines

Tarjetas de Credito

Michael Nguyen from Social Patterns covers key points prior to getting your web site indexed by the major search engines.

"So let’s spend a little time discussing the most basic idea behind search engine optimization: Indexing. Before you can begin to think about optimizing a page’s title tags, content, links - one thing needs to be certain, that page needs to be indexable."

Many factors hold back web pages from being indexed properly.
- Perhaps there is an error in your robots.txt?
- Maybe your web server is blocking directory contents?
- Is there JavaScript or broken code within your page?
- Are there any incoming text links to the page?
- Are there any automatic redirects from the page?
- Is your site using frames or only flash?
- Is your entire site navigation in JavaScript? A dropdown?
- Are your meta tags telling robots to not index?
- Is your site full of duplicate content, invisible content, or hidden links?
- Did you buy a banned domain?
