1. Make sure that every web page on your site is just 2 clicks away from the main page.
2. The links on your site map must be less than 100
3. Use "No Script"instead of Java, because search engines do not read them
4. Use Frameset when you are framing a page link to your home page.
5. Use the title of the link page when you begin to link relevant pages to your site map

Since your site's title tag ensures that Google's search engine spiders finds the best keywords that defines your site in the most relevant and popular terms, the importance of creating the perfect title tag can not be underestimated. This tag is part of the head section of your home page and should look like this:

head

IMPORTANCE OF YOUR SITE'S HEADERS AND SUBTITLES
When you include H1 and H2 tags on your site map and home page, you need to use them for the main headers of your main page and paragraphs. The H1 tag should be the first header within the body section of your page. Your main keywords should be included in this vital tag as well. The H1 tag should contain a brief description of what your home page is all about.

The content of your meta tag needs to be included in the H1 tag. When you need to highlight your title subject and content, use the H2 and H3 tags that will allow you to do this. Follow these examples to ensure proper site navigation to your site at all times:

1. Your H2 tag should follow your H1 tag.
2. Avoid spam by keeping a larger font on your tags than the text that they are including.

By using these SEO techniques to create your site map, you are now in a better position in achieving that excellent Google ranking that is so critical to your online success.
