Search Engine Questions

Hi,

I have nearly finished writing my website using Xara Web Design. I originally wrote my site with Serif Web Plus.

There are a few settings in Serif Web Plus that I cant find in Xara Web Design and cant find anything in the help file. These are:-
Create Robots Meta Tags
Create Search Engine Robots File (robots.txt)
Create Search Engine Sitemap File (sitemap.xml)
Google Validation using Google Validation Tools
Bing Validation using Bing Validation Tools

Also it says keywords need to be separated by a comma, should they also have a space e.g. (one, two, three) or without a space (one,two,three)

Thank you.

Hi Ian,

Create Search Engine Robots File (robots.txt)
Create Search Engine Sitemap File (sitemap.xml)

These are created if you supply your websites url. See attachment.

Google Validation using Google Validation Tools
Bing Validation using Bing Validation Tools

Also see attachment.
Xara seems only to cater for Google, but Bing shouldn't be to different.
Just go to there Validation site, copy the code and paste it into the Website Head code.

Also it says keywords need to be separated by a comma, should they also have a space e.g. (one, two, three) or without a space (one,two,three)

I always use a space. However these keywords don't count for much if at all for SEO purposes these days.
