>>>is it good idea to have include files in php homepage
Yep.

>>>how many kewords should i have etc
Hm. Think in terms of phrases and different ways of saying it on the page. Also depends on what search engine you're targeting, too.

>>>should i use lots of links?
Inbounds links? Get lots.

>>>other tips?
Plant your corn early this year.

>>>should i use images?
Mm. Use as much text as possible, even for your navigation. You can apply the rollover effect using CSS, too.

The size of WebmasterWorld is a testament to the fact that there is no way to summarize into a convenient tip sheet all you need to know about SEOing a website. But the above post is perhaps the best and clearest document on building a money making website you will be able to find.

Make sure on your includes that you structure the code properly so that the "include" actually fits into the overall page HTML as viewed by the browser...(when you view source .. you should see a properly formatted page...because the spiders see the same thing)

I came across a project recently where all the includes had <DOC TYPE DECLARATIONS><HTML><TITLE><METATAGS><BODY></BODY></HTML> Tags..so when the final page was assembled you ended up with multiple sets of these tags on each single page..

Had to go in and eliminate all the HTML tags that didn't belong in SSI (Server Side Includes)..this not only cleaned up the pages but ultimately helped with the sites ability to list in the engines...

Make sure pages exist on the linked URLs, that are relevant to the originating page(s) and anchor text.
