Potential Design/Set Up Problems

If your site does not use Frames, Flash, Javascript, Image Maps,
or Dynamic URLs you can skip to the next tip, or go back to the
main search engine optimization tips page.

Unfortunately for some of you there are some site design/set up issues that can make it very difficult for the search engines to list your web pages no matter how well you optimize and submit them. We list them here, before you get into all the optimization tips, to hopefully save you from trying to list a site that that will be very difficult to get listed. Almost everything can be fixed or worked with one way or another before you submit. The most common problems are:

• Sites that use Frames
• Sites that use Dynamic URLs
• Sites that use Flash
• Sites that use Image Maps for navigation
• Sites that use Javascript for navigation
