That is such a grandiose task no one is likely to help. But to help you get started, you need to 1) Not host on your home server. Sites are rated by how fast they load, and a site on your home server won't load fast and that will be an issue. 2) Have plenty of text related to what the site is. Focus on Important keyword phrases. 3) Setup google webmaster tools and get your account attached to the website then go to the help pages and read read read read read 4) Be patient. It takes time. Months. Sometimes Years. You also need to accept that you likely will never be on the first page of search results unless you do a LOT of work or pay a chunk of change so a company will do the work for you.
Hi buddy you have to do seo add meta tags and description in your site add strong keywords link your site with web master tools do lots of work on your site and most important do not use copy pasted material on your site.
First of all, i would suggest you to never host your website on a home server, as it may make your site slow. Plus, i would like to add that more the domain age, better the website! About SEO, only meta tag are not sufficient for optimization. The most important and initial step of an effective SEO is 'Keyword research and Industry research' after which, you may start the On-page SEO activities. After that, you should move on to Off-page SEO activities and most importantly before doing anything, think from the point of view of a prospective visitor either for on-page or off-page activity.Rest for the content part of your site, be sure it is unique and informative. Hope this helps,
re: home web servers Most residential ISP plans forbid using your Internet connection to run a web server. So you could very well lose your Internet connection if you attempt to run a web server at home. (Although you should be able to run a web server for testing purposes.) Also, web hosting is so cheap, why would you want to run a server at home?
for some situations, i can see the benefit of running from your home server, however (at least in my country) it works out cheaper if you just use paid hosting. Also i would like to point out that if you are just starting out, your home server wont have the same security standards as a proper server. For domain names, go for namecheap.com for cheap quality hosting, go to ferngullygraphics.com ($2 per month and its a high quality service). as for getting into google, im still learning all that myself. So far i have found its best to publish articles promoting your website. Like once your website is deployed, ask for a review on dp, and on webhostingtalk.com (you might get a few good suggestions on improvements) Last time i did this for one of my sites, it was indexed by google very quickly. (no i wasnt on page 1 of google... more like the last page but baby steps right?)
If your site has good content and has good html and/or css code - you will be found automatically by Google, please do not fall prey to the indexing services, Google is good.
You may also find PPC advert to be useful to make people aware of what your site can offer to them. This is usually a good way for new sites to get recognized by users.
First of get a domain name - no-one is going to visit a site that has no domain name as they aren't going to be certain what they are visiting! Get hosting from a well known provider so it loads quickly and submit your site to the main search engines like google bing and yahoo and perhaps create a blog etc
make sure you have 1) plenty of content pages added regularly 2) good title/ description/ header etc tags 3) submit your site to free resources such as directories, article directories etc the above are just a starting point of a long journey to feature high in serps.
To get an appearance on a Google search, you have to do a lot. <1>First make your content user-friendly and readable. <2>Find the relevant keywords for your sites that have good traffic. Find the keywords that are mostly used where searching on Google. <3>Work on the keywords.Do SEO on your site. <4>If you need more visits to your website,start doing SMO. And the most important thing "Be patient". As there is saying in English "Patience Always Pays". So, be patient. It will take too much time to get in Google search.
