I own a Dating website and want to know how I can improve my Search Engine Optimisation? Thanks.

First you would probably want to make a Google web developer account, and sign up your website here:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/
It will give it higher priority for web crawling.

Second you should add a robots.txt file and put it at the root of your website. Inside the file, add:
Sitemap: http://www.website.com/Sitemap.xml

Third, add the Sitemap.xml file, and provide local links in your website, this again will increase page rank when search engines see this, and help them navigate your site more effectively. An example Sitemap file can be found here: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php

Once finished creating the sitemap file, submit it to search engines with this website: http://sitemapr.us/tools/ping/

   Reduce coding errors(HTML, CSS, javascript) as much possible. Place google or yahoo ads on your site(Google Adsense), it take ur site to top priority. Many small SE are based over results og Google, so make sense. Put the CSS, javascript out of HTML page.These are basic steps for improving SEO.

   well, probably not much to the point but – if you use cmsmadesimple as CMS, you can do the following:
   1) all php pages rewrite using modrewrite and appropriate config file setting to .html
   2) create a google sitemap there
   3) cmsms generates robots.txt – read more here to learn more about this file: http://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html (and see other links in source)

   Actually, all SEO is writing correct robots.txt. Please take a look at the links I told you in sources – they should help you in understanding that mechanism.
   If you still need help, just contact me.
