SEO Standards
There has been some recent discussion in the SEO community about Search Engine Standards. I have not yet formed an opinion on the standards. Really there hasn’t been any hard proof or evidence presented to me one way or another. Knowing politics and different administrative bodies, until something is put into writing in an official capacity nothing will be done. Basically what I am saying that it is a whole lot of wasted time and energy until something is done about it.
A few days ago I posed a question to a respected friend in the SEO community, Kalena Jordan. Kalena heads up the Search Engine College and as an old timer in the industry earns more than just my respect.
I asked:
Hi Kalena
This may be a little off your normal topics… But, you always seem to have such a well thought out view that I want to know your opinion of SEO Standards?
What do you really think about the idea? Good and bad?
Adios
Chris
You can see her response on the Ask Kalena Question and Answer Blog.
I still have not formed an opinion on Search Engine Standards and probably will not until I see a first draft of the proposed standards in front of the governing body. My only thought is what happens if the anti-internet regulation people get involved or even the pro? I wonder what kind of political mess that would turn into?
SEO World Update
In the world of SEO there is constantly some new tool that is forever popping up. Well I just found a user input search engine that is fully interactive and user contributed, Stumpedia. I have added several keywords and links. I have already found a couple ares that can and will be abused. I am not going to share them as it may cause problems and that isn’t right.
Google is updating
In addition to that gem of a find I have also started noticing a Google update happening. Webmaster tools are updated and Page Rank is being adjusted. I haven’t heard any official word but some major update is going on.
I couldn’t help but share those two bits of information as I begin final preparations for the beginning of the move. I am still seeking Guest Bloggers.

PDF SEO - Does it really work?
Printable Document Format, or more commonly known as PDF’s, are search engine friendly?
PDF’s are becoming an internationally recognized format for sharing documents. They are easy to create and offer a certain security. With readily availble resources and tools for PDF’s it appears that there usage is getting stronger.
Tim Nash an SEO in the UK caught my eye with a test of searchabilty on PDF’s. Though his conclusion on the worth of making PDF’s search engine friendly is not decisive, I feel that the ease of making the document search friendly is worth it. Take a look at the post and if you have questions on making PDF documents search engine friendly contact Search Engine Optimization by Chris or comment below.
