We provide an SEO service to our clients and those who have paid for the service are in the top ten for their keyword at least and most are number one (using sites design with xara) Follow the simple rules below to get good listing
1. ORIGINAL content, don't copy and paste someone elses
2. The keyword must be in the page title, as a heading and in the body
3. Try and get the keyword in the domain name for example www.bobscateringleeds.co.uk
4. Have the description field in the web properties with a portion of the body text
5. Fill in the keywords in web properties, maximum of 9 and have 1,2,3 and 4 word keywords (not important these days but google might change their mind, better safe than sorry)
6. Upload a sitemap to the server
7. Register with google webmaster tools
8. Submit the site to as many sites such as directories as you can, yahoo directory is best
9. try and get backlinks from .edu and .gov forums/sites
And remember it can take a couple of months for the site to appear where it should.
In short their is nothing in xara which is good or bad for SEO, it's as good as any other web design solution (in fact in some aspects it is easier).
