Search Engine Optimization?

can some one tell me the steps to go about making your website SEO enabled and does this really increase traffic to your website

Your website can be more or less search engine friendly. It is not like a switch that you "enable". If you improve the search engine friendliness of your website, there will be an improvement in rankings, however you may or may not see a difference in traffic. If you end up on page 1 of Google for a keyword that no one looks up you should not expect a lot of traffic. If you are on page 3 or beyond for a search term that is looked up a lot, you should not expect a lot of traffic either.

The problem is that optimizing your website is only one part of SEO. You must also get other websites that are relevant to your website to link to you. So if you sell car parts, you want a website about cars, or parts or both to link to you, preferably using the words "car parts" in the link. These sort of links are in fact more important than any work you will do on your website. But both elements combined are what will really get you results.

To attract links however, you must reach out to those relevant blogs, websites and have content on your website that is worth linking to.

Here are a few steps you can take to optimize your website itself:

1.) Look at your <title> tags. Try to best describe the content of each page using the title tag, without going over 70 characters. Make each title unique.

2.) Think your website as a different pages - not one website. Try to optimize each page for a group of keywords. So one page could be all about windshield wipers, while another could be all about headlights.

3.) Look at the way you link to your pages. Use words that describe what is on the page to link to it. So when you link to your page about windshield wipers, use those words to link to the page.

4.) Create quality content. Give visitors value and they will repay you with links.

5.) Don't use images or Flash to display text. Always keep text in html format.
