See there are various Search Engine techniques prevalent in the market today. Those Black Hat Seo’s linger on Loop holes of various search engine algorithms just like a Hacker.

A hacker surely has deep knowledge of his programming abilities, but will always try to follow technique which can put his domain in jeopardy. So its better to follow guidelines laid down by various search engines in terms of optimization of websites.

I sat in on the session for CSS: Myths etc and whatever. And it’s was sad to see people just kind of gloss over when anyone said anything that was in any way, shape, or form technical. These are mom and pop retailers and huge ecommerce companies. I was a bit disappointed by the lady from Grantastic designs pushing images images images. I’ve got A/B test results that have massive massive conversion differences in favor of plain text links over graphic images, even animated images. Less is more.

It was nice to be able to come back to a company that has been borderline black hat and say “hey, guys, stop it. Oh yeah, and we’re rebuilding all the sites without 1999 table design. yay.”

Too bad they had to pay almost $4k to believe me saying it.

Anyways, I think that standards education can only help the web at large. And these little sites (and sometimes big sites) can REALLY use the help.

I think your comments are the exact reason Danny wanted you to come to the show. Many people try to bridge the gap between design and marketing and few can pull it off.

Some people view marketers as evil or misguided as people tend to associate the efforts of the lowest forms of the group as being perpitrated by the entire group.

Obviously you are one of the leaders in your field and inviting you is a huge step in closing the gap. Glad to see you enjoyed the show and hope to catch your next presentation if you come again.

Your commentary is oriented around the SEO-Designer distinction. I think the reason for the difference is that good design does not call visitors (it can keep them though), whereas optimisation does. In a sense, it’s like comparing McDonald’s with a fine restaurant.

To say a little more on the subject, Google algorithms are content-greedy. The more your write in your site, the more visitors come your way. The more you repeat words, the more dominant rankings for your key phrases become. It implies that your site should include sentences that are intended to serve robots, not humans. That’s why you see Web sites with title content like:

Web Hosting – Linux – Windows – Low Price – 99% – Webhosting – UK – England – Britain
