                  Getting listed in the Search
                    Engines these days is crucial if you want to attract
                    consistent traffic to your web site. Yet it is not easy
                    these days. A listing in the Pay Per Click Search Engines is
                    beyond the expense of what most small business marketers can
                    handle.  
                     
                    Getting listed in the others takes many weeks of tweaking
                    your site and even after all that is done, there is still no
                    guarantee. 
                     
                    What's the answer?  
                    The answer is to create a Theme-Based Site which will
                    contain tightly focused keywords centering on the theme of
                    the site.
                    Why are Theme-Based Sites
                    so important? 
                    Search Engines have become wise to the millions of doorway
                    pages being created. Online marketers try to trick the
                    search engines in order to get a high ranking. This has now
                    changed.
                     As of last year, search
                    engines are looking at the whole site as one page. Each page
                    must relate tightly to the whole theme. This will allow the
                    person searching to pull up only those sites focused on the
                    subject he is searching for.
                     How Does This Work? 
                    1.The Theme-Based Site focuses on one product or service.
                    You 
                    then build all your pages centered around this theme, being
                    careful  
                    to create and weave researched keywords throughout your
                    title, meta  
                    tags, headings and content. 
                     
                    Here's how the search engine indexes your site: 
                    Indexing of site title 
                    Indexing of meta tags 
                    Indexing of major headings 
                    Indexing of text content of pages 
                    Finally the search engine looks at the links on your site.
