SEO by Kent

What’s the real difference between a user friendly website and a seo friendly website? I would say there is no difference. Or at least a small small difference.

For instance, you should not use images as headlines or text.
That’s something thats important for both sides. In a user perspective, it’s not good because it’s better to transfer text to a browser rather then a big image. Also, no search engine in the world can read text of an image. This means <h1> should be used in both cases.

Then there is the structure of a website. If the structure is wrong there will be complications when trying to browse the website and search engines won’t like your site. Lets say we have a website with a lot of elements and a lot of ajax calls, the user will be confused, as will the search engine.

Another thing is the flash. Why did someone create this? Or lets say, why does some people use this for dynamic and relevant websites? It’s a major error in the web world if you offer your customers a webshop in flash. No one will benefit from it. Probably the designers will see all possibilites and use effects and stuff that will confuse the user.

My tip?
Think as the user. Be the user.
