Learning How to Create Search Engine Friendly Web Sites for Free (well almost)
Creating a well designed web sites is the goal of every designer. But, before you have even started designing the site you need to make sure people can find it, very rarely do people just type in your URL and go to your site. So you need to dive head first into learning how to create Search Engine Friendly web sites.
Here is the good, bad, and the ugly.
Good news: There are a ton of sites and services that give away information regarding Search Engine Optimization. The bad news is sometimes that info is wrong, and the ugly is that sometimes you can’t tell which is which. The SEO game moves a fairly fast pace and what works today may or may not work tomorrow. there are fundamental tactics that will always work.
Below is a listing of sites/blogs that take the long view on creating sites that will work today and tomorrow and should hold up to any scrutiny as the SEF game continues to evolve. My recommendation is to look over the links below, and follow the ones that make the most sense for you. These flks know thier stuff and will not lead you astray..
A great overview for building a site http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm
In conclusion. the title says Free (well almost). The only costs are your time!
