Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

As many of you are probably already aware, Google ranks a page according to the number and quality of links leading to that page. For example, if your page has 100 quality links leading to it, it will rank higher than another page that has only 20 links pointing at it. Quality links come from pages that are themselves "important" (Google's own terminology). Google Page rank is based on back links. Back links are Links pointing to your website from another website. The more back links you have the higher your PR will be.

Useful SEO tips to improve the Google Page Rank:-

1. Add your website to Google. This can be done by visiting http://www.google.com/addurl/
2. Create a sitemap for your website. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ is a free service for creating sitemaps. Then, upload your Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.
