Recently, I put together an article on the
25 things that every web page should contain and was hoping to find out what on page
SEO factors people here feel are most important. Below is a list of the factors I thought of.
- Doctype
- Language Declaration
- Title Attribute
- Meta Description
- Meta Keywords
- Author Declaration
- Jump To Sections Navigation
- Logo
- H1 Tag
- Main Navigation – Text Based
- Main Content Area
- Breadcrumb Navigation
- Sub Navigation – Text Based
- Valid HTML
- CSS For Page Layout
- Page Structure
- Internal Linking
- Alt Attributes for Images
- Title Tags for Text Links
- Contact Information
- About Information
- Footer Section
- Sitemap HTML
- Sitemap XML
- Web Analytics
- Visual Appeal
Is there anything I missed, what other items do you feel should be on a page to optimize the site for both users and search engines? I looked at this subject as what can be done with a page that will organize it well for the visitors, which is most important, but in turn optimize well for search engines also.
