Add a site map to your website creation. Site maps serve an important role when it comes to search engine optimization. The search engine spiders use them to crawl efficiently over your site to help rank your pages better. They also serve an operational purpose for you as a designer. A site map is essential to keeping track of your website architecture, so you can add pages to it more effectively.

Although the more ads you have on your site the more potential you have at making money. But make sure that you don't get too greedy and that you manage the number of ads that are on your sites to a reasonable number, you want to make your site feel open and welcoming, not ad central.

Keep your font type simple on your website. Arial or Times New Roman is perfect for any website. You don't need to get carried away with bubble letters or illegible chicken wings. Exotic fonts employment in seo might seem cool to you, but your visitors are going to have a tough time reading your site.

Make sure your website's call to action (CTA) is highlighted in your web design. If the visitor can not easily find what you really want them to do next, then you will be hard pressed to get them to move forward in your action cycle. Call out your CTA using icons, white space, a font size increase, bolding or some other format change that works with your design.
