Excellent points. I decided to provide the most specific suggestions first, while the last two suggestions are more general guidelines that should always be considered as part of the lab web site strategy.

There are of course a million others, besides creating a sitemap, that you might include in terms of the hidden aspects of a site that will help in making it more visible to search engines. I'd actually re-order those tips on a scale of importance as follows: 5 >> 4 > 1 > 3 > 2 Taking it seriously is by far the most important thing you can do, updating regularly gets you noticed by search engines (basically Google lurvs new content), RSS feeds are great, PDFs are good, but they're generally static so alternative reprint methods with (chemical etc) meta data and other latent info would be better. Sitemap shouldn't matter if you're on an academic hub as SEs will spider your pages anyway providing you have good solid navigation. db Nice collection of tips.

It's more or less a log of what I learned while doing it, so hopefully it's helpful. I wrote a tutorial on sitemaps a little while back.
