'' | W3Schools has been around for a long time and has focused their attention on SEO to get as much linking and optimal content together to show up high on search results. Unfortunately, Mozilla cannot resort to the same strategy to challenge them... so we need to find other ways to improve SEO. | ||
I am currently evaluating consultants that will be able to help us take a closer look at our competition and help us with recommendations to improve SEO with our current content on MDN, as well as develop Kuma with best practices in mind so that the next generation of MDN Docs will perform better for search. | |||
There are many reasons we have fallen behind W3Schools, but mostly it has just been a lack of focus on SEO as we have grown our documentation over the years and the limitation of the wiki platform we have been using during that time. We hope to change that as we get ready to launch Kuma later this year or early 2012 and hope to make changes to the current MDN site over the next few months and monitor how we're doing. | |||
My initial research a earlier this year showed improvements already with just the new content we have added to the front-end of MDN (Learning, Demos, etc)... so hopefully with more expert recommendations and changes to the structure of our pages, as well as more SEO-friendly writing/content, we'll start doing better vs W3Schools. | |||
I am not an SEO person, nor do I personally want to become one, so I hope the SEO team will help me and the MDN team get better. | |||
