Long paragraphs (more than 3-4 sentences) 1 idea per paragraph Concise (50% word count) & scannable! Starting paragraphs with prepositional phrases Start with the subject or key point clearly stated – upfront. Passive voice (Twerking dance moves were done by Miley Cyrus.)

Notas do Editor
- Been doing SEO for >10 years, started with a background in Web development, taught Web Design at Cal State Monterey Bay… bla, bla, blaYellow bracelet? I’m a cyclist!
- Every now and then your website needs a refresh. Maybe it’s a rebranding (SEOmoz to Moz)Moving to a new Content Management System (CMS)Or the site looks like it was built in 1996.A redesign can be a huge success – or it could fail terribly. The point of redesigning a website is not just to make it look better but to make it more user-friendly, increase its traffic and visibility in the search engines, and to engage your audience. You want something people will share in social media.Ruth Burr – Domain Migration from SEOmoz.org to Moz.com* Prepare your existing site for a relaunch/migration* Secure your existing content, rankings and linking assets for the move* Manage analytics, webmaster tools and baseline reporting* Identify responsibilities and action items for SEMs in the software development life cycle* Implement post-launch tactics and strategies* Manage your digital assets in the new environment* Follow post-launch metrics* Reduce and explain the fluctuation impact in the search engines
- If you've lived through a site redesign or are about to embark on migrating your site, you know that planning and strategy are key to successful implementation and to not falling off a cliff! You need to spend a lot of time in the planning phase! Project Management – Redesigning a website is a lot like building a house. The best way to success is optimizing before you begin publishing.Credit Paul May’s preso at SearchLove - Content Promotion and Outreach for Links
- Week after I spoke at SMX West - SEO Essentials For Your Website MigrationMeg Geddes – client from hellPlan time to plan!!
- BEWARE: You can expect a loss of rankings, but if you follow the right process you won’t need drugs!
- You can expect loss of rankings for 2-4 weeks to 3 months, possibly a couple months if you change everything.If you do it right, in the long-term you’ll get more qualified traffic.
- #1 is your Discovery PhaseMake sure the SEO team is involved PRIOR to letting the designers even scratch anything out on napkins!The designer usually starts with a site architecture or wireframe. Make sure the SEO team is kept in the loop as the wireframe is being created or anytime it changes, to make sure any architecture issues are caught before the site is developed and along for the ride at launch and after.
- Knowledge is power
- What's going to change? What's going to be new?Design - You may be launching without redesigning a site.URL - Insure the old URLs are redirecting, one-to-one. Make sure they are search- and people-friendly.IA structure - Make sure the information architecture is themed and logicalContent - You'll need engaging content with titles and meta descriptions that are informative and encourage click through.Plugins & functionality - Different plugins - may not be the same in the new CMSKey takeaway: Gather all your facts BEFORE developers & designers get their hands dirty with a relaunch.
- Hit by Panda, a redesign is a good way to have Google see everything as new!!Low-quality pages on your site can have an impact on your whole domain. Remove it or reduce it. OPPORTUNITY!
- Stole graphic from Ruth Burr’s preso. Try to change as little as possible. 301s do not pass social value!Outside of the redesign, you want everything on your site to stay the same if possible. Same page titles, meta tags and content, including any links within the content and alt text on images. A lot of SEO’s will argue that metas don’t matter when it comes to rankings, but I like to play it safe and leave everything the same, even the most minor things. A redesign is a drastic change in the code that the search engines read, so I recommend that if you want to make changes to the on-page SEO, you give your new site a little time to acclimate first.
- Time to collect some dataAddressed GA as part of demographic research earlier. Use analytics & webmaster tools to know how people are using your site.Get the Visitors Overview report from an unfiltered profile. Look at new & returning visitors.Based on analytics, what percentage of visitors are desktop vs. tablet vs. mobile?Are you seeing different trends per device? For example, are mobile users more likely to use the contact form? Are tablet users viewing more pages overall?What are the core needs of people coming to your site? Are there different use cases?
- There’s so much more. Prioritize!Landing Pages, Social metrics and their contribution to conversionsPinterest web analytics - See what people are pinning from your website.Anything you can measure is a metric.
- Moving into visibility… How are you doing online? Oh, yes, rankings matter. But know that with personalized search, not everyone sees the same thing.BikeRoar.com – a sample site who is not a client
- For what terms are you displaying?Google Webmaster Tools stats: most popular pages such as impressions, click-throughs, and average position.Low CTR helps you see what pages need some help with their Titles and Meta Descriptions!
- Know which pages are the most important? Which pages have the most links? Start with what Google thinks are your top pages
- See which pages have the most links. You’ll want to take good care of them!Majestsic SEO, OSE has a "Top Pages" tab for the root domain. Both tools are free. OSE requires a paid version to download the CSV and see social sharing data.Bing Webmaster Center - very detailed error reporting, link detail with the anchor text,Google Webmaster Tools also lets you do this... Shows you most linked to content – Links to Your Site under Search TrafficGoogle Analytics shows referral traffic, 404 Discovery, check to see which pages are broken or need to be 301ed
- How do you stack up across the board? What’s your market share?
- Who’s strongest in social?
- Social Visibility - You can also setup a spreadsheet to track fans and followers, a KPI
- Have an idea of your site’s overall visibility. And it’s all super pretty and broken down with Moz Analytics!
- It’s all part of the pre-op process – in traction!You may find 3 or more versions indexed and/or legacy URLs from a former CMS that have never been properly redirected. CLEAN UP YOUR SITE! This is most important for bigger sites, especially enterprise-level and e-commerce domains where there are multiple departments and little prioritization from the dev team – before surgery!
- Requires access to Google Analytics

- First, check to make sure there is one! This is one area to do BEFORE a redesign to ensure all your pages are crawled.And it has to be error-free. Bing – low threshhold – devalue if >1% of URLs result in errors.The Bing Sitemap Plugin is an open source server-side technology that takes care of generating XML Sitemaps compliant with sitemaps.org.LOVE Screaming Frog – paid but worth it!Used to recommend GSiteCrawler, but they are down. WordPress and many CMSs generate their own XML sitemapsGoogle Wiki of various sitemap generators: Google’s Sitemap Generator NOTE: We have no plan to enhance Google Sitemap Generator in a short term, and we encourage the community to contribute to this project.
- Limited to 50K URLs per sitemap. Use an index.AJ Kohn has a good article.Vanessa Fox - Metrics perspective: it may make sense to keep content types separated. When you submit an XML Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools, you can see a report of the total number of URLs in the Sitemap and the number of those URLs indexed. File must have opening and closing sitemapindex tag.Rather than submitting multiple sitemap files individually, the sitemap index file makes it easier to submit several sitemap files of any type all at once.
- In GWT, got to Crawl > Stiemaps > Add/Test Sitemap. In Bing: Configure My Site > SitemapsPut a reference to your main XML file in your robots.txt! This is where Google and Bing look. The same goes for your video sitemap file, or put that in your index.
- Export URLs from IIS SEO Toolkit to get a CSV scrape of the site to build a content audit. Caveat: It only runs on Windows and can be a little tricky to install. It’s Screamingfrog hangs up with large sites, but it’s good for finding duplicate content.

- Strategic e-architecture, the Frank Lloyd Wright of web design
- URLs & Directory Structure, Page Titles, Keywords, Quality Content, Links & Anchor Text
- Your IA is like the roots of an oak tree… 7-9’ deep. It has to go deep to support a growing site
- Head Keywords on primary SEO pages, long-tail terms further down the hierarchy, match keywords with audience needs, and the types of content on the page.Cluster / Theme Content into Buckets,Target Audience, Content with Keywords, Calls to ActionInformation Architecture is NOT just a site map.It’s NOT just classification, labels, navigation, wireframes, design, HTML 5… The navigation should also be designed using CSS instead of images so the search engines can read the text of the links.
- Like items go together. Put the most important (most often eaten) pages up front, on top.
- Directories – parent / child relationship. DO NOT put everything into the root.Plan logical categories with an internal linking structure to send PageRank to most important pages.
- Do not launch to find an entire section is only linked to from deep pages & not from the home page anymore! Site architecture should be designed for usability first, but it’s also important to create main navigation w only most important URL’s. More URL’s in the navigation, more diluted the links become. If a page has 2-3 links going to other pages of the site, the amount of “link equity” that page has available to spread to those links is high. If you place 25 links on that page, each of those links gets a much smaller fraction of the “link juice.” Make sense?
- Probably a CMS limitation
- Use keywords, human-readable URLs. Be consistent in use of – or underscore as separator. Prefer hyphen – more readable
- Page names
- Page names are one of the “signs” on the path that let’s users know where they are. Your IA needs clear navigation and labels to send search engines and visitors to the right place!So you have your website goals, understanding of your audience, your keyword research, your site outline…Hhow do you plan all this?
- Worksheet for workflow…You want to make sure that the architecture is designed in a way that doesn’t put pages too deep into the site. It’s generally recommended to go no further than two or three levels, for example http://yourdomain.com/products/maverick/mountain-bikes/. Anything deeper than this can be difficult to get indexed and ranked by the search engines.
- Plan our your blog on a separate worksheet.I normally nofollow tags, mainly because when those pages show up in SERPs, they don’t have a lot of value. Best practice is to think of tags like a recipe for what’s on the page and not duplicate any of your main categories

- Great Examples Of Wireframes For Web DesignTools - http://www.wirify.com/ creates a wireframe from a site.Balsalmiq - http://balsamiq.com/ - rapid prototyping tools
- Get designers and SEOs to review wireframes BEFORE developers even see them!Make your SEO notations on the wireframes to provide them with the basis for title tags, heading tags, alt text on images, not using Javascript to create menus, analytics, XML sitemaps.And tell them nice things like “You look nice today!”
- Learn the basics of typography and design!! Required reading for the whole world!Contrast – use strong, bold face for headings. Add contrast with strong bullets. Contrast can give focus – imagine black dots w 1 red dot.Repetition – repeat elements: heading, footers, etc.Alignment – Create a strong flush left alignment in text, no centered text. All bullets align, etc.Proximity – move like elements close together, group elements
- Is the font big enough? (information architects recommends 100% – i.e. the browser default size)Do the column widths allow for around 10-15 words per line?Are the lines spaced widely enough? (information architects recommends 140% leading)Is it high contrast without glare? (information architects benchmark: #333 on #fff)Is it left-aligned? (the eye is drawn back to the flat left-hand side)Is there a larger gap between paragraphs than between lines?Is the amount of clutter minimised as far as possible?Are fonts kept to a minimum? (ideally no more than 2, max 3)Does it stay readable on mobile devices?

- When Baines & Ernst saw that mobile usage was on the rise, it launched a mobile-optimized site. Maintaining content on two sites proved inefficient though, so the company used responsive web design (RWD) to build a single site serving all devices and sizes of screen. On mobile devices, pages per visit have since increased 11%, average visit duration has risen 30% and bounce rate has registered an 8% decrease, while mobile conversions have grown an impressive 51%.Airbnb using a good example of doing mobile site properly but opportunities to improve.

- Say “NO!” to site-wide redirects! Map page-to-page.Retain site hierarchy & structure.This would be done by evaluating pages with the highest PR, # of external links, Page Authority. Those that do not matter, mass redirect.The Ultimate Guide to 301 Redirects – How To by Rick DeJarnettewith examples (Apache)
- When deleting pages, redirect to THE most relevant page that has similar copy and meaning. If an ecommerce site, map/redirect to a related product. If none, redirect up one category.NO redirecting all links to the home page for a site relaunch or redesign. Map one-to-one! IF you absolutely don't have time for redirect page-to-page, redirect to your key top pages.If it's a large ecommerce site, set automation rules for redirects.

- Vet the CMS and vendor. Make sure you understand all of the functionality and SEO risks. Define specific SEO requirements for the CMS and talk with the vendor about them BEFOREyou sign up. Many CMS systems are not search engine-friendly out of the box). Ask about customizing and pattern-defining title tags, meta descriptions, URLs.WordPress is free. Pixelsilk is paid, SASS.Drupal, Joomla, Magento for e-commerce can also be SEO-friendly, if setup write. They take more programming time.
- I’m not going to cover all the settings you can address in Yoast’s WordPress SEO. You have control over.There are some basics you want to address in WordPress for best practices.
- INFORMATION OVERLOAD
- This is not the mother of all plugins…
- Make sure your CMS supports Schema!Supported by both search enginesPRO TIP: Open Graph works for both Google and Facebook for optimizing your social snippets!
- Basic implementation should be on your Contact and any location pagesNAP – Name, Address, Phone # - CONSISTENCY!You can add hours of operation and more…
- Pushes meta data to Google and reduces the time for Google to find them. A video sitemap is essentially an XML feed which details metadata that allows search engines to find and index your videos.Use video sitemaps & schema.org for website.You should also submit a video Sitemap that helps Google discover your videos and provides additional information about your video content.Distilled post - Video sitemap basics, rqd tags.
- Use the schema.org/VideoObject type to describe videos. Make sure that your video and schema.org markup are visible without executing any JavaScript or Flash.
- Dot your “i”s & cross your “t”s – Pre Launch and then at launch. During the final days before launch, run through your punchlist1 week minimum testing.Most important is to try to break the site. Poke around and find broken links. Use various browsers & operating systems.View it on a smart phone.Christmas horror story…DO NOT turn off the old server! DNS propagation can take time. Header checker – SEO Book has bulk header checker. Also like URI Valet.HTTP 503 error – Google interprets this as "things here are broken, but you can try again later and the website should be back" status. Instruct Search Engines to come back to site after you finish working on it.To see how your site will appear to Google, you should view your play pages in a text-only browser such as Lynx, or a more conventional browser where you've confirmed that Flash and JavaScript are disabled.
- When you redesign, ALL aspects need to be tested! Test email confirmations and response pages printed out into PDFs.
- They also lost the ability to have social display with the new tool.If asked: /*? disallows all urls that end in an empty query string. Because ? is not a wildcard, /*? does not disallow ALL urls, just those that end in a ?.
- True story!
- Set up a team for QA and ongoing monitoring. Train them:What needs to be set up before launch? Who will monitor it?Do they know what to look for, how to spot red flags,what actions to take. Document everything, diligently.
- Sweep
- You don’t want this! Remove the robots.txt Disallow!While you’re at it…Remove comments around Google Analytics code!But, if you’re a big site like Google’s Keyword Planner or the CA DMV, Google will decide you are important enough to rank!
- Remove the Disallow 1st thing!No duplicate content on your internal search pages.Good reminder to watch those 404 errors
- Monitor what Google thinks! Watch your desktop and mobile speed after the redesign.You can also setup Google Analytics Alerts to track site speed.
- Do a full link analysis and determine what referring domains are out there and ask them to update their links – outreach efforts.It’s all about relationship, baby!Opportunities where people have linked to something. Set up a criteria on what is a priority:- Link count - Followed or no followed - Anchor Text – PA and DAOnce you have the list of people to contact, you need to reach out to those people. Make sure new link still adds value. Otherwise why would they update a link? Use a spreadsheet or BuzzStream for contact management.What if you cannot get them to change the link? 301 redirect in place to land on a page featuring something similar to what they expected. That same thing goes for people who have bookmarked. You want to try to retain “scent” of how search engines and users found a page and what they end up on after the redirects.Take a look at your backlink profile for dead links. Identify a list of good quality sites and start typing out some emails to get those broken links fixed with your new ones.
- Get links to the whole domain. Remember, especially if your site has www & non-www versions.Show links ungrouped initially – nice sort by PA or DA.For link reclamation, sorting by domain helps one step. You only want to contact 1 webmaster.External, Pages on this root domain
- For enterprise level sites, use Advanced Filters tab to download up to 100K links instead of the 10,000 limit placed on the Inbound Links tab.Select inbound links/linking pages, include Any link from external linking pages that link to any page on the root domain. Download CSV.Can do with AHREFs also
- Update: Google Plus Business Page, Social network profiles, get Reviews
- Tell the world!Put on your viral marketing hat & publish the absolutely best EPIC content. Share the heck out of your new site. Get guest bloggers to right killer posts about you.

- Oh! La! La!Get 7 times more Social Traffic through better sharing buttons. You have to look good first!People want to share information on Twitter. You have to move your website into that market. Bottom line: How you look in social is important, and your site needs to make it easy to share.
- Duane Forrester of Bing discussing the impact of social media engagement signals on rankingMaybe you say “the jury is out on how social affects SEO.” If that’s you, you still want your content to be shared and get traffic. If you don’t plan your social sharing snippet andoptimize your page with the right code, your dreams of going viral with your content may flop (and probably will).
- Social done right, controlled by Wordpress SEO
- As of yesterday!Step up the photography!
- Actual <title> tag includes “Name - Google+ - ” prior to the words at the front of your share blurb.Google “reserves the right” to modify the Title tag.Titles vary depending upon the search query.Your “share blurb” may also be repeated in the SERP meta description if there is nothing else.
- Google stopped displaying a social share snippet, but who knows if that will change again!
- Here’s your URL builder!
