It also helps to add a title and any applicable metatags to the page head, if you haven’t already done so. Title and tags (esp. keywords) are the first thing the search engine looks for, and will be more effective than entries in the body at bringing the page up in the results.

Conversely, if DON’T want your site to show up on search engines, include the metatag \<meta name=“ROBOTS” content=“NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, NOARCHIVE”\>.

> Also, I run mostly IE and the site looks great in it, but when I load it in Firefox, one of the background images does not load (I have one image for the front page which loads fine and one image for the rest of the pages, which does not load). I built the website using HTML/CSS. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could check to see why it will not load the background?

You might try running your code thru a _validator_ to see if it is really correct HTML code. Browsers (especially IE) are notorious for accepting incorrect code.

Here’s one, but Google for HTML Validation and you’ll find lots of sites.
