SEO question?
I have a friend that wants me to optimize his website. He wants me to send him the new information (content, meta tags, etc.) so he can send it to his web designer to do the update. What format should I use to give him? (html, word, etc.)

Hi,
I think any will do as long as the info is written properly and could very well be understandable. But of course, many will prefer html version because that will be very easy to execute once info will be copy/pasted on the website.

Hi,
I don’t know much about metatags, but for the content just write it in MS WORD. Make sure to include a few keywords related to your friends business niche, and you should be good to go.

Make sure you go to the source code of a popular site and check out the format that they use. This is important or the site will never be found. Remember to use keywords with spelling errors. I know with my site people type single like this: singel. Just do it in wordpad.
Then the big job is submitting to the search engines, which you should do manually as some of these services do not work. The sooner you are indexed by the search engines the sooner the world will know about you.

I can see many problems if you are doing rea SEO. Meta tags, are one issue, but what about alt tags, embedded text links, sitemaps both html and xml, what about h tags and the list goes on and on. Why not get ftp root directory access and make the changes or have them send the site in a zip format so you can make all seo changes and send back
Everyone is different – why don’t you just have him ask the designer what would be best for him.
I usually send over a word doc with the meta data (including the html) – something easy for him to copy and paste.
Someone mentioned submitting to the engines, you don’t have to submit to them, they will come find you on their own.
I agree you should never use those automated submission services, not only are they are against their terms of service but they really bog down there servers.
