Read on indexes. Single out the columns which are used in joins. Index tuning wizard tool should give you an idea as well.

Best way is to see Execution plan and determine what are the indexes you exactly need. You can't fully rely on Database tuning advisor for index. Remember it might be good for 1 query but not for others. There should be balance trading between what is frequently used and oftenly used.
