okay...very basics of optimisation, ask me for more details about any areas and i'll provide them.
what you need to do :
*title tags that are applicable to your site, if its a games site, make sure the title says "games," if they're free, then make sure its says "free," thus people will know what you offer.
*keywords - put in keywords tags and description tags so that serach engines get a good idea of what your site is about. make sure the keywords and description are targetted at your site.
*text keywords - repeat your keywords within the opening paragraph of your page, once or twice, and try to repeat them again further down the page. the more often the keyword appears, the better you'll rank for it, but don't just spam it and repeat it over and over in a line, caues that will get you blacklisted.
*alt-image tags - make sure you use them! use them to put keywords in to improve your rankings, search engines use them as additional info about your site, so they'll help you!!
*headings - use heading-formatted text, especially H1 and H2, because search engines treat them as important terms. if you can get your keywords in here, then you'll improve their rank
*link exchanges - get sites to link to you!! if you can, get your keywords in their link text. this will help you get spidered more often, and improve your ranking again. links are double-barrelled, they bring traffic in through clicks, and help search engines to find you and index you better.
anything else that i've missed out i'm sure someone else will add in. only had 5 mins to spare, so i hope that helps. if you want any more info / help on anything, feel free to PM me or just reply here with the info you want
