3 Simple and Free SEO steps,

Some brilliant free SEO (search engine optimization) tools and sites I found and have used (I’ve tired to keep it extra simple):

• We all need a sitemap, so why not use XML SiteMaps within seconds the site will search your site and create numerous XML and HTML sitemaps for you to upload to your site and link to Google.
• Secondly, be sure to submit your site’s stories or posts into del.icio.us and/or Digg.
• Build quality backlinks – use this site to find out more and to target which sites to use.

In doing those 3 things, your site will be sure to appear on Google, though, the golden rule is, keep your site active and you’ll crawl to the top.
