Optimizing Your GraphicalData Website

GraphicalData enables you to optimize your own website for helping it to rank well in the search engines. You not only can control the Meta tags on your home entry page, but all lower level pages as well. And the best part is it’s EASY!
After logging in and navigating to your “Website Pages”, you can view all the pages in your site. On any of the pages, select the “Meta Tags” (ABC) button to begin editing. You are presented 3 simple fields labeled Title [VERY IMPORTANT], Meta Description and Meta Keywords. Each section has its own instructions to aid you in your task. Be sure and click the save button at bottom of page when satisfied with your changes.
I highly recommend Danny Sullivan’s Search Engine Watch which is chalked full of helpful search engine optimization tips.
The bonus from placing the above title and description on your home page (and actually all pages for best results) is that it will generate them in the site map that will appear at the bottom right of your pages. Although this link is usually generated automatically, if for some reason it is not there, and you looking for every means to optimize your site, then call GD’s support line and ask to have it added.
Adding /controlling your title and Meta tags made easy! But wait…there’s more…what to include on your home page to make the search engines happy…that’s another story…stay tuned.
