Page elements

Another facet of SEO to consider before you build your web site is the elements needed to ensure

that your site is properly indexed by a search engine. Each search engine places differing importance

on different page elements. For example, Google is a very keyword-driven search engine; however, it

also looks at site popularity and at the tags and links on any given page.

How well your site performs in a search engine is determined by how the elements of your page

meet the engine’s search criteria. The main criteria that every search engine looks for are the site

text (meaning keywords), tags — both HTML and meta tags — site links, and the site popularity.
