I have a message that I am passionate about and a website to share it. I recently came to the conclusion that to share effectively I am going to have to learn much more about how SEO works... I will take a look at the article you recommend - but in the meantime - got any easy "tips" for a really nice - and very green - newbie? Thanks Cyndi WOW – so much to learn.

I will take a look at the article you recommend – but in the meantime – got any easy “tips” for a really nice – and very green – newbie?

Thanks

These are definitely aspects that as an SEO, I need to work on as well. Something for the entire community (including myself) to consider... That being said, I do know most of the HTML tags and some CSS as well. In fact, I know enough about them to understand that the validation results you linked to don't have much of an impact on the site's SEO. I need to focus on what will have the greatest impact on the site. Of course I'm no designer or coder by any means, so I leave that stuff to guys like you. :) The design on this site is actually from a third party theme (Revolution Theme) so I'd rather not spend the time and resources customizing it just to make it XHTML friendly. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for stopping by. Hi CSSJockey,

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:27:27 +0000 http://www.winningtheweb.com/?p=2587#comment-23811 Thanks Guytae, for an interesting take on SEO. I'm an application and web developer, and I started in -94 coding websites manually in notepad. I've been programming in several languages for about 20 years now. And when it comes to programming, you definitely need to know your language - no doubt about it. But when it comes to SEO, I feel that we are entering a field where we don't have a clear view of exactly how the system (Google) responds to our manipulation. When you are a doctor you know what happens if you give a shot of noradrenalin - the pulse goes up and lots of stuff happens through the body. You get a direct response. But when it comes to manipulating SERP, we just dont know exactly how the Google algorithm works. We just don't know it all, even if we know some of the important pieces of the puzzle. Who can say exactly what impact all the different HTML-tags have? Nobody outside of Google can. We can make a qualified guess on the importance of some, like the TITLE-tag, based on observation. But still there could be happening things in the background, like some extra backlinks coming up, that complicates the picture. I feel it is useless trying to back-engineer the Google algorithm, who's got time for that? And if you do it, when you're done, they've changed it again - so back to zero. I believe in a few important tags, good quality content which is constantly updated, and tons of backlinks preferrably from the same field as your site. My point is that this is not an exact science, and neither is the human body (really). We are all trying to make qualified guesswork, and I believe that goes for any field whatsoever...as it is all a matter of perception, and perception is subjective by nature.

Not knowing HTML at the very least is a huge limitation and you'll regret not spending the time to attaining the skill. If you're new to Internet marketing, my suggestion to you is to start off by learning the basics of the Internet, HTML, and business. A lot of people want to take the easy way out.

In my opinion, HTML isn't just related to SEO, it's the foundation. It's like a point guard who needs to learn how to dribble and pass. Hey Kai,

While an analytical brain is important, it doesn't replace the need to know HTML. Furthermore, I'm not sure how matrix algebra relates to SEO. I think that's a little too technical for our purposes.
