Quality guidelines

Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as "cloaking."

Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"

Technical guidelines ...

Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.

Make sure your web server supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature allows your web server to tell Google whether your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead.

Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don't add much value for users coming from search engines.

Design and content guidelines.

# Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.

# Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.

# Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

# Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.

# Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images. If you must use images for textual content, consider using the "ALT" attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.

# Make sure that your elements and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate. <br /> <br /># Check for broken links and correct HTML. <br /> <br /># If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few. <br /> <br /># Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100). <br /> <br /># Review our image guidelines for best practices on publishing images. <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11176848490783134041' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11176848490783134041' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Alpesh Udavat SEO</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/2010/05/design-and-content-guidelines.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/2010/05/design-and-content-guidelines.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-05-12T04:21:00-07:00'>4:21 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2926294804970980162&postID=7850378779395823064' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1510907153'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2926294804970980162&postID=7850378779395823064&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/search/label/Best%20SEO' rel='tag'>Best SEO</a>, <a href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/search/label/Best%20SEO%20In%20ahmedabad' rel='tag'>Best SEO In ahmedabad</a>, <a href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/search/label/gujarat%20seo' rel='tag'>gujarat seo</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'> <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/' id='Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link' title='Newer Posts'>Newer Posts</a> </span> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-05-12T04:21:00-07:00&max-results=7' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://wwseobestcom.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar'><div class='widget Followers' data-version='1' id='Followers1'> <h2 class='title'>Followers</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div id='Followers1-wrapper'> <div style='margin-right:2px;'> <div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"></script> <div id="followers-iframe-container"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> window.followersIframe = null;
