Excellent advice, especially about the title tag. Google uses the title tag to form the link to your site when displaying search results. My feeling is that the tag is critical for effective marketing…it should in ten words tell the reader exactly what your website offers. You are only going to get a second or to of the reader’s attention, so that link is perhaps the only thing that the searcher will see.

I have some discussion of the title and description tags and some empirical results at http://kidpub.blogspot.com.

Hi…I’m trying to figure out where to add the .htaccess lines you suggest. At the end of my .htaccess file I find the following:

# If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,
# uncomment the following line:
# RewriteBase /
# Rewrite URLs of the form ‘x’ to the form ‘index.php?q=x’.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

# $Id: .htaccess,v 1.90.2.1 2008/07/08 09:33:14 goba Exp $

Should your lines come after this?

Thanks for the great article!

Thanks for the article! I became a little curious when you mentioned in the beginning that “If you plan on implementing these tactics with a site that is already fully built, indexed and aged, then you are going to want to take different steps to ensure SERP disaster doesnâ€™t ensue.”

What should I do if I’ve had my site running for some time already? And what’s a SERP disaster?

Thanks!

@ Linda

I think the gsitemap plugin is now called the XML plugin, which is the one I mentioned above.

Never used the g analytics plugin, will have to check that out.

Nodewords is pretty much the same as the Meta Tag module.

Yay Drupal!

What do you think of the Google Sitemaps module? Beneficial or no for SEO?

http://drupal.org/project/gsitemap

I also like to throw in Analytics so you can see the results of your SEO

http://drupal.org/project/google_analytics

And nodewords to write meta descriptions for a bit more control over your SERP listing and hopefully better click through, even if you’re not #1
