41. SEO Best Practices

42. Best Practices Explanations Are the keywords that you are targeting not only relevant but also popular with searchers? Do your page titles lead with your targeted keywords? Is your body copy of sufficient length and keyword-rich? Does the anchor text pointing to various pages within your site include good keywords? Do you employ text links from your home page to your most important secondary pages? Does your Web site have an XML Sitemap, as well as an HTML site map with text links? Are the URLs of your dynamic (database-driven) pages short, simple and static-looking?

43. Best Practices Does your site have an optimized internal linking structure? Do your pages have keyword-rich meta descriptions with a compelling call to action? Does your site have a custom error page that returns the correct “status code”? Do your filenames and directory names include targeted keywords? Are you actively building links to your site?

44. Search Engine Land - Worst Practices

45. Worst Practices Does your primary navigation require Flash, Java or Javascript to function? Is your web site done entirely in Flash or overly graphical with very little textural content? Is your home page a “splash page” or otherwise content-less? Do the URLs of your pages include “cgi-bin” or numerous ampersands? Do the URLs of your pages include session IDs or user IDs? Do you unnecessarily spread your site across multiple domains? Are your title tags the same on all pages?

46. Worst Practices Do you have pop-ups on your site? Do you use “click here” or any other superfluous copy for your hyperlink text? Do you have superfluous text like “Welcome to” at the beginning of your title tags? Do you have any hidden or small text meant only for the search engines? Do you engage in “keyword stuffing”? Do you repeatedly submit your site to the search engines? Do you incorporate your competitors’ brand names in your meta tags? Do you have duplicate pages with minimal or no changes? Are you submitting to (“Free For All”) link pages and farms?
