– No restriction in choosing any domain name but using most important keywords in URLs helps to an extent.

– Make URLs static since dynamic URLs keep ranks fluctuating. This can be done by web development companies.

– Title tag shall contain the most important keywords. But, avoid repetition. – Meta Tags such as Description shall also incorporate keywords but shall make

meaningful sentences. Good descriptions can attract visitors more.– Header Tags from H1 to H6 define hierarchy of heading.– Geo Tags help in defining the location of the website business for the search

engines, imparting greater credibility to search engines.– Authorship and Publisher tags also hold importance.– Meta Robots- follow, nofollow, index, noindex- tags also help in blocking or

unblocking search engine bots from a particular page or link. Check this article for more information (http://ezinearticles.com/?Correct-Application-Of-Robots-File,-NoIndex-NoFollow-Tags-And-Canonical-Redirection&id=6963600 ).

do not want search engines to crawl and index. These are mentioned in a special file- robots.txt which is read by search engine bots before moving on to other parts of the site.

– More details on how this file is created and used are given in this comprehensive post (http://seosmoppc.hubpages.com/hub/Robots-Exclusion-Protocol-of-Search-Engines ).
