Google uses link popularity to rank websites. So if a lot of other wesites have
a link to you then you rank high.

Use the Alt tag for page description on the first image,
because Lycos does not use META description.

Need a good estimate of:-

1. Optimum Title length (64-80)

2. META description length (200)

3. META keywords length (800)

4. Best ratio of searchword/other words (1:30?)

5. Best page length (Not too long? Lycos >75 words)

6. How important is it to have visible keywords at top of file. (not very?)

7. Use commas in META keywords (no - use 'rearing fish farming' type combos)
