\n webmaster guidelines<\/a> is to make sites for visitors, not for
\n search engines. Visitor-friendly design makes for search engine friendly design as well. The team
\n at Google webmaster central talks a lot with site owners who care a lot about the details of how
\n Google crawls and indexes sites (hyphens and underscores included), but many site owners out there
\n are just concerned with building great sites. The good news is that the guidelines and tips about
\n how Google crawls and indexes sites come down to wanting great content for our search results.\n<\/p>\n
\n is friendly for visitors.\n<\/p>\nMake good use of page titles<\/h2>\n
\n the browser’s title bar.\n<\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-fa7994c6c1ad.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n if your site is for your store “Buffy’s House of Sofas”, a visitor may want to bookmark your home
\n page and the order page for your red, fluffy sofa. If all of your pages have the same title:
\n “Wecome to my site!”, then a visitor will have trouble finding your site again in the bookmarks.
\n However, if your home page has the title “Buffy’s House of Sofas” and your red sofa page has the
\n title “Buffy’s red fluffy sofa”, then visitors can glance at the title to see what it’s about and
\n can easily find it in the bookmarks later. And if your visitors are anything like me, they may
\n have several browser tabs open and appreciate descriptive titles for easier navigation.\n<\/p>\n
\n words contained in them, and including descriptive titles helps search engines know what the
\n pages are about. And search engines often use a page’s title in the search results. “Welcome to
\n my site” may not entice searchers to click on your site in the results quite so much as “Buffy’s
\n House of Sofas”.\n<\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-0c2f27d22fac.png\")
<\/p>\nWrite with words<\/h2>\n
\n are in text or use ALT text to provide textual descriptions of your multimedia. This is great for
\n search engines, which are based on text: searchers enter search queries as word, after all. But
\n it’s also great for visitors, who may have images or Flash turned off in their browsers or might
\n be using screen readers or mobile devices. You can also provide HTML versions of your
\n multimedia-based pages (if you do that, be sure to block the multimedia versions from being
\n indexed using a robots.txt file<\/a>).\n<\/p>\nMake sure the text you’re talking about is in your content<\/h2>\n
\n may follow links from elsewhere on the web to any of your pages. Make sure that they have context
\n for any page they’re on. On your order page, don’t just write “order now!” Write something like
\n “Order your fluffy red sofa now!” But write it for people who will be reading your site. Don’t
\n try to cram as many words in as possible, thinking search engines can index more words that way.
\n Think of your visitors. What are they going to be searching for? Is your site full of industry
\n jargon when they’ll be searching for you with more informal words?\n<\/p>\n
