With my 12 years of business on the World Wide Web (WWW AKA W3 AKA the Web), I have stayed rather quiet on the subject of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I have used Yahoo! and Google since their beginnings, and know full-well that the ranking properties/characteristics of search engines is generally proprietary and surrounded in secrecy. Even though best-practices and standards have been publicly published, technical aspects of quality in programming & design vary in importance to search engine ranking, and their relevance can change over time. Furthermore, there are other criteria factored in that are organic and otherwise. I have always designed & built to conform to the most obvious and expected elements, and the approach has evidently brought success to my endeavours & business.

Today, I began publishing a page on my own internal/proprietary trade-secret knowledge of SEO, starting with a couple points, and with many more to come.

Like Daniel Shakhmundes’ Links page, his Clients page went on vacation for a bit more than half-a-year, skipping the previous generation of his website.

For now, only a few of Shak’s many clients are listed…

Daniel Shakhmundes’ Links page went on vacation for a bit more than half-a-year. It skipped the previous generation of his website, which he wasn’t quite settled on keeping, unlike the fantastic new one built on WordPress.

The content is exactly the same as it was, aside from technical modification to comply with the coding & programming specifications (CSS & XHTML) set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Feel free to use the W3C CSS and W3C XHTML 1.0 buttons at the bottom-right corner of any page for validation substantiation.

More links and further-improved organization are sure to come, thanks to the robust functionality of WordPress and the excellent design & development capabilities of Daniel Shakhmundes and his team.
