A Website Makeover to Improve Search Engine Results
Some of the major search engines have recently begun to place a greater importance on the wording in html text links. For example, if you use the text link wording "a web designers portfolio" to link to a web designers website, it will yield a better search engine result than using an expression like "click here" to link to the same site. Websites must be designed with carefully worded html text links to provide more accurate search results. I recently redesigned a website with this as one of my primary objectives. Here is the site and how it was improved.
The redesign is shown below. Notice that it has full text descriptions of each link. Also each description is loaded with keywords that are likely to be used in search engines to find that page. I used table cells to break up the text into an interesting and neat layout. The layout uses the web design tip on this page.
Visit this Non Profit Health Organization website to see how the wording of all text links is done. The end result will be that more people will find this website from search engines and precisely the information they are looking for. Key points from this article:

Here is the old design. The page was too
light and many of the links are not worded carefully to give search engines a
full and accurate description of the pages they link to. Also, I wanted more
text on the first page so that there is a wider range of keywords that search
engines can index. Text is the only component of your website that matters to
search engines. Therefore, pages that are heavier in content (text) tend to have
higher search engine traffic than pages that are primarily graphics.
