The objective of this page is to document [[standards]] to be used for SEO @ Mozilla and beyond in regards to more technical implementations of open web standards & SEO. | |||
== summary == | |||
A short list to start with for search results optimizing your pages: | |||
* Good, relevant, original content | |||
* Semantic Markup | |||
** [[HTML5]] heading, paragraph, article, section elements etc. | |||
** [[microformats]] for mentions of people, events (e.g. see [[Events]] markup), reviews. | |||
==avoid== | |||
Don't bother wasting time with: | |||
* ''meta keywords'' - invisible to users, and ignored by search engines since 2001 (e.g. [http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html official post by Matt Cutts of Google]). Unfortunately there's a lot of obsolete SEO dogma on the web that incorrectly recommends use of met keywords. | |||
* ''meta tags in general'' - aside from (meta description), there are no known current positive effects of meta tags so they just waste space. Similar problem re: obsolete SEO dogma. | |||
* RDF in HTML - anything in HTML comments is also ignored by search engines and thus is a waste of page space. | |||
* presentational markup - use CSS instead. | |||
