I agree that #7 shd be used wisely. Especially when you have a stunning design that doesn’t come along with SEO guidelines. And its perfect that you can put that slogan/reference/subheading stuff and pure content separately.

I use the Firefox Web Developer tool bar for this, which is very useful for quickly checking new pages and CSS. It’s a great idea to bring designers into the SEO equation.

You might have heard of “Google bombing”, where many people link to a certain page using certain text and boost that page to the top of the search engines, even though that page might be on a completely different subject. This is because search engines use the words in your link text (otherwise known as “anchor text”) to figure out the nature of the page you’re linking to. This can be used to your advantage in your on-page SEO efforts, giving your pages a little boost for your keywords.

Thank you so much for another great article. Where else could anyone get that sort of information in such a perfect way of writing? I’m having a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

Put your main keywords at the top of your website because searchengines judge words at the beginning of a website more relevant than words in the center or at the bottom of a webpage

Using Flash is fine if you have a developer who knows how to use it in conjunction with SEO. I do not think the standard Flash designer would know all the techniques required.

For instance, XML can be used to get around SEO for Flash nav.

The nav should be built dynamically from the start, so if the site does evolve, all you need to edit is an XML file.

Also deep linking can be done for use with FWD/BACK and bookmarking Flash.

If it were so bad, car sites would not use it at all, yet there are car site entirely made in Flash. Don’t tell me they completely avoid SEO.

I do agree that Flash becomes an issue for mobile, but then again I also believe that if youw ant people to use your content while mobile, a separate site should be served containing content that is more useful while mobile.

It is a toolbox… use the appropriate tools from the start to best fit your needs, plan for SEO from the start, and you should be fine whether you use CSS or Flash.
