Fw: All Things SEO: No SEO Ever Went Wrong By…
by Rick DeJarnette
The world of SEO seems to be ever-changing, and the pace of that change is ever-accelerating. It's both the blessing and the curse of this industry. Today there are evermore options and issues to contend with to fully optimize websites and online properties. Unfortunately, it now appears, at least to some, that even some of the old stand-by, tried-and-true SEO techniques of the past are now suspect, not only in their efficacy, but in their viability. We now work in the age of Pandas, Penguins, and more. There are penalties and there are algorithms, all set up to take us down a notch or three - and who knows what's coming next? What do we as SEOs tell our clients (or our employers) to do now? I submit to you that Chicken Little is only a moral folktale, and that the sky is in fact not falling, at least not for SEO. Indeed, the common thread running through all of these changes is that running a website for the benefit of the site owner rather than for the site reader is a problem. As a result, the differences between blackhat and whitehat SEO remains as clear as ever (and Google's recent actions only drive that point home ever more clearly). If you as an SEO have a brand to build, a site to optimize, and a message to convey, how to be successful online is as straightforward today as it has ever been. Check your SEO Score now with Searchmetrics Search Analytics Software See how your SEO strategies are working and what your competitors are up to. Searchmetrics Essentials consists of the largest, fastest databases available for search and social marketing. Discover for yourself the unique search options and try the Searchmetrics Essentials here today - for free. The problem we face is the new potential repercussions of old SEO shortcuts or "cheats." I have always advocated that the smartest, best long-term strategy for a business branded website is to develop the site for the human reader, not the search engine. Search engines spend a huge amount of resources of time, money, and energy to figure out what people want. They do everything they possibly can to act as human analogues. Of course, algorithms are not humans, and computers have a hard time interpreting non-text content and assessing nuance. In light of that, I will make a slight caveat to my SEO creed: Develop your website for the human reader who uses a computer screen reader with their browser. A site that does this should pretty much cover the failings of the search engines' computer algorithms in their Data-like (or is that Kryton-like?) quest to become, well, more human. Pursue Your Quest For Goodness Despite the release of recent Google algo changes that continue to shake up the SERPs, I still believe that no SEO ever went wrong by getting these fundamentals right… 1. Developing descriptive metadata and body text with keywords. Help both the human searcher and the search engine figure out what your pages are about. Figure out which keywords are most relevant to your page, and then use them in places that have the most punch. By developing descriptive, relevant text for your page's , and alt text tags, and by ensuring those same words are used again in the body of the page, you help develop relevancy to those keyword queries for your content.Caveat: But don't go overboard. Use natural language as much as possible. No human wants to visit a site listed in the SERP whose blue link text and descriptive snippet are nothing but a keyword dump. Write compelling text fort humans and you will be rewarded with page views. 2. Creating interesting, crawlable content. Humans search the Web for great content. Make yours interesting, informative, expert, creative, perhaps even humorous. Show off the one element that makes your site different from everyone else - you! Caveat: This is where the computer screen reader SEO credo amendment from above comes into play. Search engines are merely computers, and computers have a hard time interpreting non-text-based content. Sure, a photo gallery is a photo gallery, but a page supposedly about ancient Roman gold coins should have more than just images or a video. The multimedia content is good stuff (because people find it appealing, search engines want to understand it). Help the crawlers understand that interesting content by employing text-based, graceful degradation strategies. Furthermore, don't bury important text content within images, videos, or other binary files. Put it instead on the page as styled text so it can be easily and reliably read by the crawlers!The lack of high quality content is what is getting sites busted in Google Panda. Feed Google some great content - they'll appreciate it, as will your readers. 3. Improving architectural issues for site crawlability. This includes such straightforward advice as canonicalizing your URLs, using permanent (301) redirects when redirects are needed, minimizing your folder depth to no more than three subfolders from the root, and using keyword-based folder and file names. Also, create a custom 404 page to keep customers on your site when inbound links are broken, post a valid robots.txt file to make the search crawler more efficient, and publish valid XML-based Sitemaps and RSS feeds to tell the search engines about your most important content pages. Lastly, ensure your site is optimized for page load speed. Caveat: Be careful with your architecture changes. You don't want to lose page rank on existing pages by carelessly changing URLs without careful planning. You also want to make sure any changes to your robots.txt are heavily scrutinized. When I worked for Bing, one of the biggest problems the Webmaster Team saw with crawling problems was the unintentional blockage of the crawler through careless robots directives, especially when wildcards are involved. If you suddenly block a large portion of your site, those pages will fall out of the index. 4. Building relevant links with authority sites. Link building used to be easy, right? Just submit your site's URL to a few hundred of your favorite directories to earn inbound links, and voila! When that stopped working so well, folks tried paying link farms, blog networks, and other large aggregation of junk sites to link to them, figuring "a link is a link." Well, search engines never liked such falsified signals, and Google Penguin simply seals the deal. Today, think in terms of quality (judged by industry authority) rather than quantity. I don't know what ratio search engines use for good links equating to junk links (and there may not be one anymore). Just identify the niches of the Web that are relevant to your site's target audience, find the most significant players in those niches, and then contact the webmasters about linking to your site. I'd highly recommend having some of that interesting content previously discussed ready to show them - that's what's likely to interest them. Caveat: Don't send spam email to webmasters asking them to link to your site if there's nothing there worth linking to. Get your expert content in place, and then you have something to promote. 5. Engaging with customers via social media. Speaking of promoting your website content, use social media to build your community. Unlike link building, in which you are primarily appealing to authority sites, use social media to connect with your fans and potential customers. Get into the habit of regularly publishing posts or tweets that are interesting to your people. And no, your latest sale or newsletter subscription drive is not really interesting to anyone but you. Become the expert in your field, where people learn to go for your industry's news, developments, and helpful information. Develop your brand as a trusted authority with great posts. Caveat: Don't invest in a social media effort if you don't have the resources to maintain it. There's nothing more frustrating for a user than a sudden flash in the pan and then fizzling out by neglect. Be consistent, and of course, be professional. Potential customers are watching you. Getting them to buy is hard - discouraging them from buying is all too easy to do. 6. Avoiding malicious webspam. If your primary intention with an optimization campaign is to fake out the search engines, you're on the wrong track from the start. If you think hidden text, rich snippets spam, cloaking, and paid links are worthwhile efforts, you've missed the boat. Sure, legitimate inbound marketing is hard work and takes time to come to fruition, but in fact that is the point. Its benefits are long-term, organic, and valuable. Optimize for people to win. Optimize to fool search algos to destroy business websites and brand names. Caveat: Nope, there's no caveat in this one. If your business model is to burn through the first thousand domain names as fast as possible, then fine, go play. B |

Judge: Winfree
Areas of Law: Family Law, Government & Administrative Law
Eight days after relinquishing her parental rights to twin children, their mother filed a motion requesting that the superior court order the Department of Health and Social Services, Office of Children's Services (OCS) to release the children's annual Permanent Fund Dividends (dividends) to her. The superior court granted the motion. The guardian ad litem (GAL) and OCS opposed her motion. The superior court ordered OCS to provide proof of compliance with 15 AAC 23.223(i). OCS filed copies of the address change forms and an affidavit of the OCS employee who completed the forms stating OCS had complied with the Department's regulation. The superior court concluded OCS's filing did not comply with the regulation's "evidence of the change in legal custody" requirement and ordered OCS to release the dividends to the mother. The GAL sought reconsideration, which the superior court denied. The Supreme Court granted the GAL's petition for review. OCS and the GAL argued that the fact the Department paid the dividends to OCS suggests the Department itself thought the change of address forms were sufficient to comply with 15 AAC 23.223(i) and the superior court should have deferred to the Department's determination. Upon review, the Supreme Court agreed: the superior court (and all of the parties in the superior court proceeding) knew of OCS's custody of the children because the superior court itself signed the custody order. "There was and could be no dispute that OCS actually was entitled to redirect and hold the children's dividends, regardless of the information provided to the Department." The Court reversed the superior court's decision.

Clark v. Clark
Court: Delaware Supreme Court
Docket: 547, 2012 | Opinion Date: June 28, 2012 |
Judge: Steele
Areas of Law: Family Law
Scott and Vanessa Clark married on July 23, 2003 and had two children. After Father and Mother separated, Mother sought sole custody of the children. The trial judge gave joint custody to Mother and Father. Mother raised three arguments on appeal of that decision: (1) joint custody is improper because Father was subject to an order of guardianship, (2) the findings of fact in the best interests of the child analysis were clearly erroneous, and (3) the delayed implementation of the final order constituted error. "Although this [was] a close abuse of discretion case," after its review, the Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment.

In re A.B.
Court: Iowa Supreme Court
Docket: 120133 | Opinion Date: June 22, 2012 |
Judge: Mansfield
Areas of Law: Civil Rights, Constitutional Law, Family Law
A juvenile court terminated Father's parental rights to his two children. Father appealed, arguing, among other things, that the juvenile court violated his due process rights when it ordered him to provide a fingernail drug test after his termination trial. The court of appeals reversed, principally on the basis that there was no evidence in the record as to the reliability or the accuracy of the fingernail drug test, and that the record, including the fingernail test, lacked clear and convincing evidence to warrant termination of Father's parental rights. The Supreme Court vacated the decision of the court of appeals and affirmed the judgment and order of the trial court, holding (1) the test did not violate Father's due process rights; (2) the evidence including the fingernail test was sufficient to warrant termination; and (3) termination was in the children's best interests.

Marriage of King
Court: Montana Supreme Court
Docket: DA 11-0732 | Opinion Date: June 26, 2012 |
Judge: Baker
Areas of Law: Family Law
The district court entered a decree in 2011 dissolving the marriage of Petitioner Aylynn King (Aly) and Joseph King (Joe) and establishing a parenting plan with respect to their two-and-a-half-year-old child, B.K. Aly challenged: (1) the District Court's denial of her request to change the child's surname to Matté, the surname that was restored to Aly after the dissolution, and (2) the parenting plan, which provides that B.K. will reside with Joe two days a week during most of the year, and five to seven days a week for about six weeks each summer. Upon review, the Supreme Court found no basis upon which to reverse the district court's decisions in this case, and affirmed the court's decisions.

Marriage of Lloyd
Court: Montana Supreme Court
Docket: DA 11-0567 | Opinion Date: June 26, 2012 |
Judge: Wheat
Areas of Law: Family Law
Davie Lin Lloyd (Davie) appealed a Parenting Plan Order entered by the district court. Davie and Brett Camaron Lloyd (Brett) were married in 1997, and are the parents of one minor child, M.K.L. In 2004, the district court issued a decree of dissolution and parenting plan, which awarded Davie residential custody and included an attorney's fees provision. After the dissolution, Davie moved with M.K.L. from Texas to Oklahoma to Kentucky, and finally, to Florida. In the summer of 2009, the parties' communication disintegrated when they disagreed over Brett's summer visitation and as a result, M.K.L. never visited Brett that summer. Due to this communication breakdown, Brett initiated legal proceedings in Montana to enforce the parenting plan. The district court held a hearing on the parenting issues in 2011 and issued its order. The Order gave Brett residential custody of M.K.L., and included a provision requiring that for each vacation M.K.L. would be transferred to the parent with visitation rights on the evening of the last day of school before the break and would remain with that parent until the evening before school would resume. Brett filed a request that the District Court enforce the attorney's fees provision in the 2004 Parenting Plan and award Brett his attorney's fees. The District Court approved that request on August 16, 2011, and on August 24, 2011, Davie filed an M. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for relief from the judgment awarding attorney's fees. Counsel for Brett submitted an affidavit containing a statement of attorney's fees on August 29, 2011, to which Davie did not object. On September 21, 2011, the District Court denied Davie's motion and approved the amount of the fees. Finding no abuse of discretion in the district court's decision to award attorney's fees, the Supreme Court affirmed.

Matter of C.J.M. and A.J.M.
Court: Montana Supreme Court
Docket: DA 12-0047 | Opinion Date: June 26, 2012 |
Judge: Wheat
Areas of Law: Family Law, Government & Administrative Law
I.M. (Father) appealed a district court order that terminated his parental rights to his children A.J.M (daughter) and C.J.M. (son). The children's biological mother already had her parental rights to terminated. The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) contacted the family and made recommendations, but the parents did not follow through. Father reported Mother to DPHHS in July of 2009 with concerns about her drinking and inability to care for the children. After Father's call, the children were removed. Upon stipulations by both Mother and Father, the children were adjudicated Youths in Need of Care on August 14, 2009. The District Court found that: 1) termination was statutorily presumed to be in both A.J.M.'s and C.J.M.'s best interest due to the length of time each had been in foster care; 2) Father's treatment plans were appropriate; 3) Father did not comply with the treatment plans; 4) the conditions rendering Father unfit or unable to parent would not likely change within a reasonable amount of time, and 5) the best interests of A.J.M. and C.J.M. would indeed be served by termination of Father's parental rights. Father then appealed. Finding no abuse of discretion in the district court's judgment, the Supreme Court affirmed the termination of Father's parental rights.

Miller v. Nelson-Miller
Court: Ohio Supreme Court
Docket: 2011-1172 | Opinion Date: June 27, 2012 |
Judge: McGee Brown
Areas of Law: Family Law
Appellant, Rebecca Nelson-Miller, as administrator of the estate of Norman Miller, cross-appealed from a decision of the court of appeals that held that the 2005 agreed judgment entry of divorce between Norman and cross-appellee, Beth Miller, was void for noncompliance with Ohio R. Civ. P. 58(A) due to the trial court's improper delegation of its judgment-entry signatory duties to a magistrate. The Supreme Court reversed and reinstated the trial court's 2005 judgment entry decree of divorce, holding (1) where a court possesses jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter, mechanical irregularities regarding the trial court's signature render the judgment voidable not void; (2) therefore, the trial court's noncompliance with the signature requirement of Rule 58(A) caused the 2005 judgment entry to be merely voidable; and (3) because neither party sought any timely objection or appeal from the 2005 divorce decree, Appellee's attempted collateral attack on the trial court's voidable judgment entry in 2009 was untimely and improper.
