Developer Grade SEO July 2011 Phil Buckley SEO – What You Need To Know Raleigh SEO Meetup Group Twitter: @1918
Is this you?
Mind map of the SEO process
Oh no you didn’t! <meta name=“robots" content=“noindex"> User-agent: *  Disallow: / Make sure you didn’t do something really simple, yet tragic
Canonicalization wwwvs.non-www <link rel="canonical" href=" http://www.1918.com/free-seo-classes-in-raleigh/" />
Step 1. Validation
What is the current standard? XHTML 1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on May 31, 2001. CSS 2 became a W3C Recommendation on June 7, 2011. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"       	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">  <html version="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" 	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml 		http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml11.xsd" >  <head>  	<title>Virtual Library</title>  </head>  <body>  	<p>Content is <a href="http://example.org/">good</a>.</p>  </body>  </html>
What about HTML5?
Keep your code clean <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 	"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Do you see why this is WRONG?
Elementary Don’ts <a href=“foo.html”>click here</a> <imgsrc=“bar.jpg” alt=“” /> <title>home</title> Site Developed by <a href=“developer.com”>me</a> Missed opportunity Missed opportunity + Unforgivable Don’t do this
The Semantic Web is a "web of data" that facilitates machines to understand the semantics, or meaning, of information on the World Wide Web.  It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other, enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users.
What is Semantic Markup, or Meta-Data? Meta-data can be a difficult concept to grasp. So for example, here is some regular data: (+1)919 829 3518 Of course, most of us will guess correctly that this as a telephone number, but computer systems have no way of knowing that. They see it as a string of numbers – it could be anything!  So that’s where meta-data comes in. <span class=”telephone”>(+1)919 829 3518</span>
Meta, Micro, RFDa, Rich-snippets & schema.org We’ll get back to that in a little bit
Divitis

Do you style your markup this beautifully? What is a search signal?
Do you love the unix command prompt?
How to think like a robot
Meta, Micro, RFDa, Rich-snippets & schema.org Ok, we’re back to the good stuff now
Wait, didn’t Google say something else a few years ago?

Meta data can make a big impact in search results Taken from a Google search for Danny Sullivan
F.A.Q. Do I really have to do this stuff to rank? No. Would my time be better spent doing other SEO tasks? Possibly. If I ask my development team to do this stuff they’ll punch me in the face! Possibly. When you get off the floor, hire one of the developers here tonight to replace them.

CSS 2 became a W3C Recommendation on June 7, 2011. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html version="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml11.xsd" > <head> <title>Virtual Library</title> </head> <body> <p>Content is <a href="http://example.org/">good</a>.</p> </body> </html>

  • 13. The Semantic Web is a "web of data" that facilitates machines to understand the semantics, or meaning, of information on the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other, enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users.
  • 14. What is Semantic Markup, or Meta-Data? Meta-data can be a difficult concept to grasp. So for example, here is some regular data: (+1)919 829 3518 Of course, most of us will guess correctly that this as a telephone number, but computer systems have no way of knowing that. They see it as a string of numbers – it could be anything! So that’s where meta-data comes in. <span class=”telephone”>(+1)919 829 3518</span>

  • 32. F.A.Q. Do I really have to do this stuff to rank? No. Would my time be better spent doing other SEO tasks? Possibly. If I ask my development team to do this stuff they’ll punch me in the face! Possibly. When you get off the floor, hire one of the developers here tonight to replace them.
