Web Site question: How can you make it so your web site shows up in search engines like yahoo or google easy?
My friend just got his web site up and running. He wants to make it or accessible for people to find in search engines. I sure there is a spot to put in details that the search engines look for but I’m just not sure. I myself have not built a web site in a long time and I just want to make sure before I go over to try to help him out.

Once you are in Google you need to make sure that the main "Keywords" or the words you want people to find you under are in your websites page titles, and also in the alt tags of the images, and also in the text of the page. If you can use "H" tags with your keywords in then all the better. You can use CSS to adjust the way the H tags appear on your website.
You should add sitemap.xml to root directory of your website.
XML Sitemaps are a way for you to give Google, Yahoo etc. information about your site.
Keywords, html tags and attributes are part of SEO activities.
