There are lots of SEO tips and tricks that help in optimizing a website's relevance score.   One often overlooked file that should be included on your website is the Sitemap or Sitemap.xml file.

Content Inline Why did you start building websites?

I’ve got a political science degree. My first internships were with politicians.  I started building websites because politicians found out I could program.  

What is your definition of a website?

The basic mission of a website is to collect and disseminate information and provide a service, if there is a service to be offered.  Despite their differences, websites all have the same basic elements: content, sign-up forms, blogs, forums and eCommerce components.  You can take those same components and apply them to campaign sites or to regular business operations.
