SEO Friendly Web Design, some important tips on designing and developing a website to be Search Engine Friendly (SEF).

I stumbled across this accidentally but I noticed the number of inlinks reported by Yahoo! Site Explorer decreased when using the UK and Ireland version.

The era of meta spamming has been over for a long time now thanks to the introduction of Google. The emphasis for a while now has been on votes (or inlinks) but “What’s next?”. That’s a pretty ignorant question I know as there are always new factors being taken into consideration and implemented by the major search engines.

As a website developer I was confusing the practice of SEO with what I like to term SEF (Search Engine Friendly), something which I believe is a common misconception out there. I thought I would help define the clear differences by writing this as it’s something of great interest to me at the moment.
