Inceptor’s Pyramid:
When searchers arrive on a website from a commercial web search engine, such as Google, they usually land on a page in the middle of the site, not the home page.
TIP: Treat most pages on your website as a point of entry.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
To remember about SEO & UX:
A great user experience includes findability. – People can’t use what they can’t find.– Make sure your teams do not overlook or dismiss this facet of
UX.
When implementing user-centered SEO, treat most pages on your website as a point of entry.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Search-engine algorithms change all of the time.Therefore, you should update your website to be search-engine friendly every time there is an algorithm change.

Is this text easy to read? …to scan?Search Engine Optimization is an important part of any search engine marketing initiative. Some people believe that submitting the site to search engines alone is sufficient in getting top-10 rankings. This is not true. Search engine submission only announces your site's existence to the search engines. To get a good search engine ranking, it is important that you carry out title tag optimization, meta tags optimization, & anchor text optimization of your website amongst other SEO techniques. You'll need to optimize the visible text of your site through SEO copywriting after extensive keyword phrase search. It is also important to boost your Google PageRank in order to get a good website ranking. You can increase PageRank of your site by building your site's link popularity through a link building campaign. A link exchange campaign with good industry relevant sites is the simplest way to get several incoming links to promotion. Remember, search engine positioning is a powerful media for your website promotion. While the above example seems like overkill, this is just to illustrate how you can accommodate your important keyword phrases by carefully rewording the text of your web pages. If you feel that the standard blue, underlined hyperlinks appear ugly on your website, then you can reformat its HTML markup code to change color of the text & get rid of the underline without losing the power of the anchor texts.

KEYWORDS, CONTENT, & LABELSSEO Principles
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
What kind of text?
The words your target audience is typing into search queries are called keywords or query words.
Your website should have a consistent labeling system that clearly communicates “aboutness” to both humans & technology.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Types of labels: Content Navigation Document

#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Content heading:
People use the H1-formatted heading to:– Get a sense of the page’s main topic– Validate information scent
#SMX #14D @sharithurow

Moving keywords to the front of titles [headings] increases the likelihood that they get noticed. ”- Dr. Jakob Nielsen, Usability Guru & Author http://www.nngroup.com/articles/headings-pickup-lines/

(accessibility & searcher goals)
For text-based documents:
Meta-tag content Alternative text Domain & file names
(descriptive)
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
To remember about keywords, labels, & copywriting: Make sure you place keyword phrases in important places. Remember to focus most of your efforts on primary text, not
secondary text. Create a clear & consistent labeling system − KICK! Place keyword phrases prominently on your pages. Use keywords frequently enough on your pages so that content
appears focused, but don’t overdo it.

#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Accessibility: Human users, as well as technology, should have user-friendly access to
your website’s content.– URL structure– Website navigation
Websites should be accessible to people with disabilities (more than 10% of the population).
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Web search engines follow links: Search engine follow links from one web document to another. How your web documents link to each other communicates (to both
humans & technology) how important you believe your content is. In other words, site navigation matters!
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
SEO jargon:
Internal links = Site navigation
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
The navigation elements of your website provide [both humans & technology] an understanding of your organization & give them a sense of where they are within the site structure. - Luke Wroblewski Product Director, GoogleAdapted from Site-Seeing: A Visual Approach to Web Usability

Purpose of site navigation: The purpose of site navigation is to enable efficient task

Too many navigation options? Users won’t read all of the options.
Too few? Errors in selection because navigation labels are less informative & specific.
Be careful with complex menus:

What we want to avoid or minimize: Orphaned or nearly orphaned pages Content silos
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Orphans & silos communicate:
IMPORTANT
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
To identify orphans or near orphans:
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Content silos: In information systems (IS), a silo is an isolated point or section in a
system where data is kept & segregated from other parts of the architecture.
Content silos are similar to a cul-de-sac, which is a dead-end street, often with a circular turnaround.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Content silos IMPEDE findability.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
How to fix silos & orphans: Contextual navigation
– Some examples include alternatives, upsells, & shortcuts.– Curated navigation carries more ‘weight’ than aggregated navigation.– When used excessively, contextual navigation can create clutter & confusion.
Supplemental navigation– All websites should include a (wayfinder) site map or site index.– As a site gets larger, guides can be very useful.

#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow

Shortcuts: The goal of shortcuts is to help users find
information more easily & rapidly.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Supplemental navigation: Site map Site index Guides Site search
TIP: Well-written, formatted guides provide context & can be a digital content asset…one that is useful for link outreach.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
TIP: Always communicate visited & unvisited link status in your site map & site index.
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
Website navigation formats: Text links Navigation buttons Image maps Menus
– Dropdown– Flyout– Expanding/collapsing
Flash Sliders Carousels Parallax
#SMX #14D @sharithurow
If a site navigation format is not search-engine friendly, you should avoid using it in your site design.

Types of text-based navigation: Formal navigation (global + local) Location-based breadcrumb links “Inline” or embedded text links Site map or site index
