XML Sitemap • Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site. • A Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL • Sitemap use has wide adoption, including support from Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!.

- 19. Schema.org • A schema is a collection of html tags that can be used to markup pages in ways that are recognised by search engines. • On-page markup enables search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results • Google, Bing and Yahoo! rely on this markup to improve the display of search results.

- 24. rel=“canonical” • A canonical page is the preferred version of a set of pages with highly similar content. • Add a rel="canonical" link to the <head> section of the non- canonical version of each HTML page. For example, on a page: http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish&sort=pr Add in the <head> tag: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php? item=swedish-fish"/>

- 26. Author Tag
- 27. Author Tag on Google • First, you'll need a Google Profile • Add a good, recognisable headshot as your profile photo • Then, verify authorship of your content by associating it with your profile • Google doesn't guarantee to show author information in Google Web Search or Google News results.
- 28. Author Tag on Google • Add your name (required) and email address (recommended) on each page containing your content • Add your email address to your Google profile • Link your content to your Google Profile – Add the personal badge to your site – Create a manual link to your Google Profile from your webpage. Your link must contain the ? rel=author parameter.
