" What really matters is results. " What peeves me off is the developers of wonderful looking and standards compliant websites that are meant to get search engine traffic
- and CAN'T receive search engine traffic because the Search Engine Optimisation is not "standards compliant" Most websites that I see fail the basics * What are the phrases that people are looking for - category, product and regionally based * Putting those phrases properly onto pages * Getting the mechanics of a website SEO friendly * Getting higher quality and quantity of links than competitors There are no W3C type SEO standards, but the above are generally accepted principles of quality SEO. Why can't web developers who are so intent on providing world class html and website programming etc able to do even the basics of SEO properly??? " but I also believe that if you create something for a client and it achieves no results [read "Search Engine Traffic"] (albiet perfect code underneath) then, you've wasted your clients time (and your time) and money."

What really matters is results. Good standards and best practice is important for stability and longevity, but I take the same approach that you have to make an impact with what you have. Otherwise, whats the point? For example, back in the day, those marketing gurus made lots of money on the internet (if making money is your thing) and their sites looked like crust... some of them also had lots of typos and they even said they decided to "leave them in" because it made the site more real and down to earth. Dont take me wrong, I agree with making something robust, standardized, scalable etc, but I also believe that if you create something for a client and it achieves no results (albiet perfect code underneath) then, you've wasted your clients time (and your time) and money. -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to nzphpug+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
