Better Google Results
If you are searching around for web design coding techniques or want to find a blog on a certain topic Google sometimes seems to miss your search terms completely. Using special characters you can target your terms to return more relevant search results.
Hyperlinks and SEO
I am not an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) specialist and never will be, I enjoy creating the full web design package, from code upwards. I do however boast some decent results for some keywords in Googly and I owe this mainly to hyperlinks. A simple technique that keeps my web design blog near the top of google, it’s not a breakthrough technique but do I get more visitors directly from Googly then ever before.
Is SEO Sleazy and unethical?
From a usability perspective, designing a website to be read by a search engine will inevitably lead to poor readability and usability. SEO seems like a way of hacking away at the structure of your website and implementing keyword schemes and accepting reciprocal links from companies and individuals that you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot barge pole in real life. Sounds kind of sleazy to me.
