The trick to keywords and description meta tags is to get the 'right' combination
of words and phrases that your vistiors are likely to search for, to find your
site and this combined with ...The aim is to get into the top 5 (if not #1) on
the listing not #499,999.

Some search engines 'crawl' the web anyway, looking for sites to list
automatically and this might take a while given the volume of sites. It's not
going to be listed on Google or Alta Vista overnight - the process can take weeks
(at best), or literally months (worst case scenario).

Can you give us an idea of the the site is about and what products it is
marketing and we can give you some starting points of keywords to put in the meta
tags - even if you do this and for an exercise, just do a search using the same
keywords or phrases you might (eventually) use, and do a search for example, on
Google, just to see how many sites do come up and what you'd be competing
against.

optimization.... but frankly, my brain could hardly contain all it took to build
the page itself. Can anyone suggest a marketing company that would do all of
this for us.... for a reasonable fee?
