The Best and
Easiest Google-Friendly Change to Your Web Site
By Robert Plank
No matter who you are or how much you pay for web site advertising,
free search engine traffic is probably responsible for a big part of
your business. So why make your web site so hard for search engines
to figure out?
Luckily, it seems like in the recent years people have paid attention
to SEO, moved their sites over to CSS, abolished "table" and "font"
HTML tags, started using the H1 tag around their titles... and in
general, moved the main content of their site as close to the top of
the HTML document as it can go.
"But Robert," you tell me, "I have a bunch of fancy JavaScript and CSS
at the top of my site that I don't want to get rid of."
That's ok, you can keep it. Just stash it away in another file. By
that I mean... if you were lazy and included your CSS right in the
HTML document like this:
(style type="text/css")
(!--
CSS code in here
--)
(/style)
Copy all that text out and delete it from the HTML page.
Remove the "style" tags and the "(!--" and "--)" stuff. Open a new
text file, paste the text from the clipboard in, save the file as "layout.css"
then save and upload to your web server.
Now, back on your HTML page, place HTML code like this:
(link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.example.com/layout.css")
When someone loads your page in a browser that tells them to look to
the URL
http://www.example.com/layout.css for the CSS info. But when the
search engines crawl your site they will see a nice, clean, simple
layout.
You can do the same thing with JavaScript. Say these are your
"script" tags:
(script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript")
(!--
JavaScript code in here
--)
(/script)
Do the same thing, copy the JavaScript code but NOT the "script" tags
themselves or the "(!--" or "--)". Erase the original from the HTML
page. Paste the stuff you copied into a new text file and call it
something like: "functions.js"
Upload functions.js and in the spot you had your JavaScript code use
this:
(script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.example.com/functions.js")(/script)
One important thing to remember is that NO JavaScript code can be
placed between the "script" tags if you use the "src" parameter like
that.
So remember: use H1 tags, use meta description tags, and use CSS, but
make sure you include your JavaScript and CSS stylesheets in separate
files otherwise there's no point.
