    What do click-through link advertising [CENSORED] sites have to do with search engine optimization? (The answer is - they don't.)

    So, uhm, no.

    Im not amazed at that comment its broad spectrum

    being that im a newbie in the area of SEO to be honest
    I was under the impression that their could be a popular algo thats structured stimulating those bots to grind toward ad words and adsense" question are adsense ads more powerful then even yahoos engine meaning yahoo is forced to ""index adsense from Google"" I saw this on a post" im just relating to adsense junkies that refurbish adsense content as means and ways of search engine optimization

    It's simple. Search engines love content - like the stuff in this thread. NOT advertisements. In other words, make your sites for the people who will be using them, not your bank account. Besides, MFA (made for ads) sites are over-done anyway, and should have gone the way of the dot-com bust eight years ago.

    with out bumping threads here im getting the concept at greater volumes like Googles engine content is their food"
    I see what you mean now you dont feed a dog fish but you can feed a duck wheat grass" thats very cool man" Adsense is seemingly thought of as a cash cow by many" theoretically if I write good content per page this would be G friendly thanks again Dan

    You talk mainly about on page SEO, although Offpage seo can be seen as more important. I cna tell you took your time on this article, so thank you, it's very in depth and most of this i didn't know, thanks!

    All the "off-page" optimization won't mean squat if you don't optimize the site for the search engines and write the content on it properly so it can maximize the rate of conversions from visitors to customers (or whatever the objective of the site is) first. In other words, good quality content begets good quality back-links.

    (And for the record, I wrote this thread in a fit of anger last year and didn't even come close to beginning to cover everything - the next version will cover a lot more, but will remain true to its technical roots, touching upon the marketing aspects when and where appropriate.)

    See my signature. Still have to update to WordPress 2.5 but I've heard that two of the plugins I recommended in the WordPress SEO Checklist thread I replied to on SitePoint are no longer necessary (one from the plugin author himself, the other from a -rare- helpful tip from someone else here on DP).

    Gladly. A "user agent" is a program, such as a search engine spider, a traditional Web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or Safari), a mobile browser (Opera dominates this market), or even those stupid site scrapers will be able to go from one tag to the next - they won't have to guess when a tag opens or closes.

    For example, a browser or search engine spider wouldn't know what to make of code like this:

    
    <div><a href="example.html"><h1>My Web page<p>blah blah blah blah blah</h1></a></div>
    
    Code (markup):
    (And yes, I have seen code that's been this bad - if not worse - before.)

    What we're seeing here is a DIV containing a link - but yet the link appears to contain a heading and a paragraph, which is not allowed according to the HTML specification (inline elements such as links cannot contain block-level elements, and headings cannot contain other block-level elements either). A search engine spider, for instance, wouldn't know whether to treat the whole thing as a link, a heading and paragraph that go to a Web page, or what.

    Now, if it looked like this, on the other hand...

    
    <div><h1>Web Page Title</h1><p>Blah blah blah blah blah <a href="example.html">sample link text</a> blah blah blah blah</p></div>
    
    Code (markup):
    The search engine spider would know that it was dealing with a division of the page which contained a top-level heading (usually used as the "page title") and a paragraph of text that contains a link to another page, and thus will be able to weigh the contents of the page accordingly (and thus rank the page better).

    A far more common example though would be missing (and required) alt="" attributes on images. People (such as myself) often deride designers who don't use this attribute on their images, because "accessibility costs too much", despite the fact that Google, Yahoo, and MSN are the largest group of blind users online. The search engines can't see the image itself, so they rely on the alt="" attribute text as well as the text surrounding an image to determine (to the best of its ability) what the image is.

    Thanks a lot for this interesting and useful information! :)

    In your opinion, do semantic helps positioning? If validation is important, I think semantic is important too. The spider can "read" more easly the informations of the web pages. What do you think?

    Yes, right. I use the title attribute too, because in Firefox the alt attribute is not read.
