SEO Rules for Designers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a vital component of any website. As a web designer or blogger, it\u2019s important you understand how SEO works. Here are ten easy rules that will immediately improve the SEO on all of your web sites.<\/p>\n

Rule Zero: Do Not Cheat. Period.
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you walked into a room full of genius scientists with PHDs, do you think you could outsmart them all? No. Google has hundreds of rooms full of genius scientists with PHDs, and their job is to work 60 hours a week to make sure you can\u2019t fool Google. You can\u2019t outsmart them. Ever. Ignore any advice on trying to cheat the system and focus on making great web sites with great content, and your sites will show up fine in searches.<\/p>\n

Rule One: Stick to Your Keywords<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pick a few keywords or phrases that describe your site. Use them, and words related to them, whenever it\u2019s natural to do so. Repeating them uselessly is no good (rule Zero), use them in sentences, headlines, and links.<\/p>\n

Rule Two: Content is King<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Users don\u2019t search for design, they search for content. If your site doesn\u2019t have content people want, no one will look at it.<\/p>\n

Every page on your site should follow the Inverted Pyramid. Each page should lead with a relevant H1 tag with one of your keywords, and the first paragraph of text should be a summary of the rest of the page.<\/p>\n

Rule Three: Clean Code is Searchable Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Build your sites in a text editor, and write clean, human-readable HTML. The HTML should follow the conceptual structure of the page, navigation first, followed by the H1 tag, then the first paragraph, etc. Try to use descriptive tags when possible. Use UL for lists, P for paragraphs, H tags for heads and subheads, and STRONG for bolded text. Don\u2019t overuse Divs.<\/p>\n

Your site can still be artistic and cool, that\u2019s what CSS is for.<\/p>\n

Rule Four: The Home Page is the Most Important Page<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your home page is the key to your site being found by search engines. It should summarize the rest of the site, and give a clear, compelling reason for a user to look at the other pages in the site.<\/p>\n
