Make sure all headers and paragraphs are located inside their proper HTML tags.
2. Meta tags
Insert meta tag in the header
3. Use robots.txt if possible
"Robots.txt" is a regular text file that through its name, has special meaning to the majority of "honorable" robots on the web. By defining a few rules in this text file, you can instruct robots to not crawl and index certain files, directories within your site, or at all. For example, you may not want Google to crawl the /images directory of your site, as it's both meaningless to you and a waste of your site's bandwidth. "Robots.txt" lets you tell Google just that.
4. Use htaccess url name if possible
htaccess is a feature in UNIX/LINUX server that allowed the application to rename 'ugly' address into human-friendly and search-engine-friendly name. For example: http://domain.com/?p=123 can be accessed via http://domain.com/article/how-to-change-url
5. Create site map if possible
Site map in a website will make the search engine easier to crawl into the whole content structure, thus make the content faster to available in the search engine database.
