To make the website more SEO friendly it must have relevant content, competitive keywords and less flash.

Any updated information on this subject??? Does the type of IDX feed matter at all??? I had read that raw data is best, and to stay away from frame-ins but now I have also read that it doesnt matter much. Input from SEO experts would be appreciated.

A good list.

I'd add constantly updated content as well. Google especially loves it when you consistently add new pages and ping them.

Essentially, you can train Google to come back every day and index your new content.

How do you ping google? Do you mean the submit site to google or what?
