SEO Tips from Google Software Engineer, Matt Cutts.

Research comes first, articles should be well informed, and stuffed with valuable information that users will find useful. If your site is a good source of information, then people will tell their friends and before you know it you’ll have a successful website. Once the research and content aspect is done, work on promoting your site through a blog, or through other highly credible, highly relevant sites. Links for sites that are related to yours are very valuable.

These little things can help your website soar.  Google is telling us what they are looking for, and we build to those standards.

SITE MAPS: Why so Important?

Site Maps are also very important to have.  With out one, your website may be left behind by the web crawler.

Every time new content is added, the site map must be updated as well.
