What should we include in the updated developers SEO cheat sheet?
-
Hey folks,
Do you all remember the developer's SEO cheat sheet? It's super awesome. But it's also a little old.
What super awesome ideas do you have for the updated version?
What should we include? What should we take out?
Any developers around - what SEO knowledge would you most like to see in a cheat sheet?
Thanks!

How about Rich Snippets?

Under Important SEO HTML Tags
I've seen posts about H1, H2, H3 not being of any SEO value... is this true? If so, update it, or add something like "see heading tags". (heading tags are very important even if not for seo).
- Title Tag
- Meta Description
- No Meta Keywords
- H1, H2, H3 ?
- keyword
- keyword
- rel canonical
301 Redirect : .htaccess file or hosting control panel
hope that help!

Are we going to see this anytime soon?
-
Way late to this party, but I'd love to see this doc updated.
-
Is this going to be updated any time soon?
-
Maybe add things you can do to improve performance?
-
Popular/most commonly used Microformats!
-
Are we ever going to see the updated version released?
-
I'd love to see ecommerce addressed and how to configure sites & optimize product listings to ensure good SEO visibility.
-
Anything you have on using SharePoint 2007 or 2010 would be profoundly appreciated!
-
While brainstorming a re-write, some pointers on http://schema.org/ optimization would be great!

Hi Tom, any thoughts to including links to information about SEO or SEO plug-ins for common CMS platforms (e.g., Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Umbraco)? Given the number of developers coding for specific CMS platforms, it might be worthwhile to guide them on how to make them better from an SEO perspective.
-
What to test (i.e. check canonical, redirects, etc.) prior to launch.
-
Have to agree with Gianluca as many people have to do SEO on sites that are on Windows platforms that the businesses involved won't move away from for non-SEO reasons.
-
This is a good idea - the code needed to embed a twitter/facebook widget would be useful as this is a common SEO task.
-
How about some pointers on Open Graph metadata? Not strictly SEO...yet...
-
This is a great point - I'd love to include some HTML5 goodness in there.
-
Perhaps the right setting of doctype, html lang, charset etc...
-
Not sure how you'd cover this in cheat sheet form - but somethign on using JavaScript/AJAX for faceted navigation would be helpful.
-
Equally - HTML5 is an interesting angle to explore as to what offers the best advantages - Richard B has done some good posts on looking at that.
-
Hi Tom ,
- Front
- Amount of Links (inaccurate)
- rel=canonical
- add RedirectMatch 301
- ISAPI Rewrites
- Back
- BingBot
- Robots.txt Syntax (adding the wild card and example)
- xml-sitemaps (note thats up to 500 pages only)
And Microformats?
-
Actually I feel the absence of everything relates to Windows platforms (IIS, Isapi Rewrite)
-
How about a sysadmin or a server admin cheat sheet?
All those settings that they never know about...

SEO Ads On Third Party Job Sites?
Hello all, I seriously doubt I will get a reply to this as I'm guessing no one has experience with it. if you do though then I would appreciate any information either via comment or PM. Basically, I need to know how I can improve the rankings of job posts within the third party sites. An example would be totaljobs.com, how can I improve the rankings of advertisements that are posted there or is it simply ranked by date and location?. When I had my eBay business, I did a lot of research on eBay SEO and discovered some important factors for ranking within the eBay website. I'm basically wanting to do the same here on job board websites for job ads posted to them. Their algorithms won't be as advanced as Google etc so I'm guessing if they do they will be open for higher keyword density levels and that kind of thing.. I've googled it quite a bit and can't find any information at all on it. Thanks.
