Flash content and slow load speed are two of my biggest negative SEO factors. Not only don’t the bots like it, but the human visitors are notoriously ADD and will go somewhere else immediately if they don’t get their dose of instant gratification in double quick time.

Looks like links from edu and gov are very good for SEO. Seems that links from DailyBlogTips aren’t bad either. Couldn’t find that one on the list but it should be.

That is very useful. I am surprised how little meta tags count and how cross linking is very bad.

I actually perform rather well 🙂
My only big mistake is using font tag instead of h2 and h3.

Good one Melt, quite useful comments.

From his site:
“Comments: Much can be said about poor coding or design, which could include bloated HTML (too many extra tags), broken HTML (not closing tags) and non-validated code. Flash, previously not crawlable (Search Engines could not read the content in the Flash object), is now readable, at least to a degree. Although I am not all for Flash, I think that flash can really add value to your site when using it sparingly.”

Hi Daniel, I agree, aspects of SEO change often and I am sure that the scores change as well.

I have taken your post and expanded on it a bit, see my site 🙂

Daniel — Thu, 17 May 2007 22:46:12 +0000

Thanks for sharing that man. Yeah SEO is a field that is always changing, in fact I believe those guys update that table and the scored every couple of months of so.

Hi fellow seo comrade, very complete list, I would give different scores to some of the points on your list mentioned above, of course every one has different appreciation of the whole SEO picture.

SEO is a permanent changing field and each of us must build our own experience. I have an article on my blog that can complement yours, is a list of seo practices to have in mind when thinking of doing seo to a site, some of them are already in your article:

This isn’t a good list. Much of the information is misleading or just plain wrong. For instance, keywords in the URL are as important as keywords in the Title? Meta Keywords just as important as Meta Description? No way.

This is the list you need to be looking at:

Thanks for the helpful list. It is good to see a complete list like this along with the scores. The scores help so it is not just a list of important things to watch for, but a way to see which are actually helpful and which can hurt.

Because I’m such a non-techie chick, I could never think of all these slick, sly, and hateful masking, cross-linking, etc. jazz.

Thanks for helping me understand everything better.

Link exchanges should not be bad under a SEO point of view. What Google does not like is when you try to mask that.

Cross-linking therefore refers to site A linking to site B, site B linking to site C and site C linking to site A.

Thanks for this extremely informative list. I’ve been running a beginners SEO Tips Marathon [specially made for computer-dummies like me 😉 ] and the biggest questions I’m faced with are: where do I focus my time and energy first, second…

Meta tags are definitely a big issue, I need to focus my attention on…thanks to this list. Wow! I’ve read recently, its not as important as it was before…and this list totally discredits those views.

I have a couple of questions:

– Is cross-linking another phase for link-exchanging? If not, what is it?

I really don’t know how to ask the question, so I’ll just share my experience.

My home page, an ezine subscription page for all my free gifts has PR4. I just moved my blog to WP in March, and with the new algorithms have a blog home has a PR3, and certain static pages PR4-5.

I just installed a link directory yesterday, haven’t promoted it yet. It has a reciprocal-link-back checker component. Should they be linking my blog home or my homepage?

Thanks so much Daniel. I truly love reading your highly informative blog.

There were things on there I knew about but never got around to it but looking at that I should get off my lazy butt and do it.

Most robots have issues with Flash. I guess if you use it only for some features its OK. The problem is sites completely based on Flash.

Great list, man, thanks for posting it. SEO is definitely a tricky subject . . . I’m trying to rank on in the top ten for “romantic ideas” for my blog, and it’s been a long road!

Leftblank — Thu, 17 May 2007 17:57:22 +0000

Nice article, though I disagree on the ‘flash -3’, using flash doesn’t have to be bad. It’s fairly simply to redirect robots and human readers without flash support to a HTML version with the same content, which doesn’t necessarily make it evil.

By: Daniel

Daniel — Thu, 17 May 2007 17:50:20 +0000

Yeah the list is pretty useful. Most of the factors are well known, but being able to grasp all of them with scores is handy.
