Attached is a great SEO Checklist compliments of Elliance. Though it may be from 2007, it is still fairly accurate.
A few things worth mentioning:
- Open/setup accounts with Google webmaster tools, Bing webmaster tools, and Yahoo! SiteExplorer. Then be sure to submit your xml formatted sitemaps to each of them.
- Include a valid robots.txt file that references the restricted folders/pages as well as the sitemaps.
- Include keywords within all content, headings, page titles, meta descriptions, body paragraphs, image alt tags, etc.
- If applicable, embed v-cards, KML (geographical sitemaps), or geocoded images.
- Install analytics such as Google Analytics to keep track and monitor site traffic.
