Tactis for a better search engine optimization

By: Thomas H. Lindblom

There are many Search Engine Optimization tactics, but try to find the best combination and don't sacrifice the usability and performance of your website. Here is some basic information about improving your source code from an SEO perspective.
Avoid classical 404 error pages. The user gets this message directly from the server of the website he is trying to visit and this error page is supposed to appear only when the server cannot find the requested location and is unsure of its status. Try to relief the user's way back to your site. Introduce error messages and include evident links to the home page, sitemap, and contact page. Offer assistance and encourage the user to continue to search for the information he needs on your site. You could even include a search box right on the error page. Keep the same design for the error page as for the rest of the website.

You should also create a sitemap. This is a web page that lists all the pages on your website. They are intended both for users to find easier the information they need, and for search engines to index pages. Your sitemap link should be right on your home page. In this way spiders are sent directly to the place where all your content information is gathered. Sitemaps can improve SEO, however, be advised that they only take into consideration a limited number of links to those pages.
Try not to overuse dynamic web pages. Search engines don't rank well dynamic pages with many parameters. If you choose not to turn your dynamic URL into static ones, at least put the most important parameters in your URL first and try to limit dynamic parameters to no more than two.

Spiders can't read the text rendered as graphics. Any text that you want the spiders to read and index should be written out as text. At the very least, put any text that appears in graphics into the images' ALT attribute.

A slightly better alternative is to write your text in Flash, but remember to have a "Skip this intro..." link that takes visitors (and spiders) to the text-rich content of your site. Don't neglect this information if you want to optimize your search engine strategy.
For a search engine, improperly formatted code will have a negative impact on your rankings. Since search engines read only a certain amount of information on a web page, you should try to increase the text content to HTML tag ratio.
If you have too much HTML code, the text content won't be seen entirely. For reducing HTML code, utilize hand coding using external .css files and Javascript.

Try to fix as many of the HTML errors as possible. Although the search engines don't rank better websites that have standard compliant code they tend to "read" them easier. Use the W3C HTML Validator to check the validity of your code.
