After meta tag

 

3.     

-       Keep the URL for the website simple – make it easier to search/find in the future.

-       Make sure each “page” of website has a unique title- tag

-       Have brief descriptions to prevent google from “cutting off” descriptive titles.

-       Do not use generic descriptors such as “this is a webpage about baseball card”

-       “Naturally Flowing” navigation links for website. General > specifics.
