Dreamweaver Tutorial

The best way to make your site search-engine friendly is to design your site so that it’s easy for search engines to ”read” your pages—doing things like adding alternative text behind your images and using the meta description tag. In this tutorial, you’ll find a few search engine optimization (SEO) tips and discover the features in Dreamweaver that will best serve your SEO efforts.

1 NEVER LEAVE A PAGE UNTITLED
When you create a new page, Dreamweaver automatically adds the word “Untitled” at the top of every page, but don’t ever leave it that way. Although the title text doesn’t appear in the body of your webpage, it’s highly valued by search engines (so be sure to include your best keywords). Title text also appears at the very top of the browser window and that’s the text that’s saved when someone bookmarks your site. It’s easy to change a title in Dreamweaver; just click in the Title field at the top of the workspace and type your own text.
