Oooo there is a good article on this … one sec > **[Search engine optimization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization)** > > Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the online visibility of a website or a web page in a web search engine's unpaid results—often referred to as "natural", "organic", or "earned" results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a website appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users; these visitors can then be converted into customers. SEO may target different kin As... that should give you a GENERAL idea ---

Keywords in your site. Don’t type in stuff like: Car, car dealer, dealership, Use: WNY car dealer, Buffalo Car Dealer, Western New York Car Dealer, add a robots.txt to your site, and include a sitemap. The best place to generate a sitemap is [here](http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/). Then start setting yourself up with [Google webmaster tools](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/dashboard). It’s pretty self explanatory from inside there. I’m self taught and I’ve been shown most of this from a buddy of mine. So read up on it some more also. It’s worked for me though. [first two sites are mine](http://www.google.com/search?q=20xx+movie&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) ---
