Jonathan Hochman at Search Engine Land has put forth, twelve very interesting tips and suggestions that would enable a user to write search friendly HTML codes.
Some of these tips are:
- Don't repeat yourself. Use server side includes for headers, footers, menus, and standard <head> items such as links to CSS documents and external JavaScript files.
- It is imperative that each page has a unique <title> and <meta name="description" content="This is a sample.">. Don't put these in server side includes.
- The description should be the first one or two meaningful sentences of content unless you are told otherwise.
- Make all links and references to images, CSS and JavaScript root relative by starting them with a slash, "/". If you use Dreamweaver, set the "Links relative" option to "Site root" in the Site Definition wizard. Root relative links don't break when files are moved from one directory to another.
- Use heading tags, unordered lists and numbered lists to organize content rather than spacer graphics and nested tables.
- Use the simplest URLs. Link to "/" instead of "/index.php" or "/news/" instead of "/news/index.php".
