Metadata test

Is there a simple way of checking metadata to ensure that my site will be picked up by search engines and I will be listed on dmoz?

I have just created my first ever website for my local swimming club in dreamweaver, but I'm not too sure whether I have used the correct metadata/keywords.

Can someone take a quick look at the coding and let me know if there are potential problems and if there are, explain how I can rectify them so that my site is found and indexed properly.

Thanks in advance

The ODP does not use meta data at all in considering site suitability. We rely on what a human editor sees on the site.

Search engines (of which we are not one) use meta data in different ways, some not at all. I suggest you ask these questions at one of the search engine forums - http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Promotion/Chats_and_Forums/ has a few listed.

Thanks for the advice and what a great site/servie dmoz is!

Be sure to suggest the site to the Rec&Sports subcat of your locality, and check to see if swim clubs are listed under top-level Recreation -- if so, suggest it there also.

And don't expect immediate results....go ahead and promote the URL on your advertising, on local bulletin boards, on local directories, etc., etc., etc. -- what you leave to us to get done, will get done on our schedule, which may not be as quickly as you wish.
