What should we include in the updated developers SEO cheat sheet?
-
Hey folks,
Do you all remember the developer's SEO cheat sheet? It's super awesome. But it's also a little old.
What super awesome ideas do you have for the updated version?
What should we include? What should we take out?
Any developers around - what SEO knowledge would you most like to see in a cheat sheet?
Thanks!

How about Rich Snippets?

Under Important SEO HTML Tags
I've seen posts about H1, H2, H3 not being of any SEO value... is this true? If so, update it, or add something like "see heading tags". (heading tags are very important even if not for seo).
- Title Tag
- Meta Description
- No Meta Keywords
- H1, H2, H3 ?
- keyword
- keyword
- rel canonical
301 Redirect : .htaccess file or hosting control panel
hope that help!

Are we going to see this anytime soon?
-
Way late to this party, but I'd love to see this doc updated.
-
Is this going to be updated any time soon?
-
Maybe add things you can do to improve performance?
-
Popular/most commonly used Microformats!
-
Are we ever going to see the updated version released?
-
I'd love to see ecommerce addressed and how to configure sites & optimize product listings to ensure good SEO visibility.
-
Anything you have on using SharePoint 2007 or 2010 would be profoundly appreciated!
-
While brainstorming a re-write, some pointers on http://schema.org/ optimization would be great!

Hi Tom, any thoughts to including links to information about SEO or SEO plug-ins for common CMS platforms (e.g., Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Umbraco)? Given the number of developers coding for specific CMS platforms, it might be worthwhile to guide them on how to make them better from an SEO perspective.
-
What to test (i.e. check canonical, redirects, etc.) prior to launch.
-
Have to agree with Gianluca as many people have to do SEO on sites that are on Windows platforms that the businesses involved won't move away from for non-SEO reasons.
-
This is a good idea - the code needed to embed a twitter/facebook widget would be useful as this is a common SEO task.
-
How about some pointers on Open Graph metadata? Not strictly SEO...yet...
-
This is a great point - I'd love to include some HTML5 goodness in there.
-
Perhaps the right setting of doctype, html lang, charset etc...
-
Not sure how you'd cover this in cheat sheet form - but somethign on using JavaScript/AJAX for faceted navigation would be helpful.
-
Equally - HTML5 is an interesting angle to explore as to what offers the best advantages - Richard B has done some good posts on looking at that.
-
Hi Tom ,
- Front
- Amount of Links (inaccurate)
- rel=canonical
- add RedirectMatch 301
- ISAPI Rewrites
- Back
- BingBot
- Robots.txt Syntax (adding the wild card and example)
- xml-sitemaps (note thats up to 500 pages only)
And Microformats?
-
Actually I feel the absence of everything relates to Windows platforms (IIS, Isapi Rewrite)
-
How about a sysadmin or a server admin cheat sheet?
All those settings that they never know about...

SEO as part of University Curricula - real examples
Does anyone know of any universities that offer SEO as part of the curricula? I am currently working on getting SEO into an Argentine University and it would be nice to have precedents. There appears to be demand as you can see here http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=seo%20university yet when you search "SEO university course" or something similar, no name brand universities show up. https://www.google.com/#q=seo%20university%20course. Distilled does. I am interested in hearing people’s opinions on having SEO be taught at universities. Thanks Carla

How much dev knowledge as an seo do I need to know in order to make small changes on websites?
Hi mozzers I am considering learning some dev just to be able to make minor changes on websites. I love seo but will never want to be a programmer. I get sometimes frustrated that I have to request my dev colleague to make minor changes such as adding a small piece of codes to a website for verification purposes or adding rich snippet or modifying the ga code to get more out of it. I know some HTML and understands the core elements and attributes. My first question would be: what should I learn without learning A-Z of programming? My guess would be some php and? My second question: based on your answer where can I learn about these programs? Any interactive learning services such as team treehouse ? Any online courses? Thanks!

Need Definitive Source on Wordpress SEO
I am a longtime practitioner of classic asp. I build sites with SEO built-in and administer largely to sites I have built. I have, up til now, had a policy of not working (SEO) on Wordpress projects because - I don't presently build Wordpress sites Am unfamiliar with how SEO could be implemented on CMS I have a long time client who wants me to do contract SEO work on various Wordpress sites on his servers. Can someone point me to a definitive source on the latest methods for Wordpress SEO. I am very proficient in SEO with conventional web sites - I just need to know how to implement it in Wordpress. I don't see how plug-ins can implement serious SEO, but my mind is open.

Market Motive - Take their SEO Course?
Hi there, I'm considering taking Market Motive's online SEO course for $3,500. It's a steep price for me so I wanted to ask you guys if this is a wise choice. The course would grant me certification and is around 90 days to complete. Has anyone had any experience with this course? It seems a little old, but Market Motive claims they update their videos.
