PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications.

http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
often, it takes dozens to hundreds of attempts to become a resource hub.
18. Step 2: Make that Great Content
Accessible to Search Engines.
19. Substantive, Descriptive, HTML Text Content
http://www.hipmunk.com/ is a great site, but there’s no real text content for engines to see!
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://adioso.com doesn’t have a ton more, but there’s at least something for Google/Bing to grab onto.
20. Google’s “Cached Snapshot” is a Great Way to Check
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Using the “Cached” link on any search result, you can see what Google’s seen.
21. Clean, Crawlable URLs
Better www.adioso.com/seattle/british-airways-flights

24. No Duplicate Content
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Duplicate content causes problems beyond just rankings – it can hurt your esteem/trust in the engines’
eyes: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-block-redirect-or-canonical
25. Rel Canonical to the Rescue (Sometimes)

26. Proper Redirects (301 v. 302, etc.)
Good for Users
301 = Permanent Redirect Good for Search Engines
Good for Web Servers
Fine for Users
302 = Temporary Redirect Bad for Search Engines (treated as temporary)
Good for Web Servers
Fails for non-JS Users (including many mobiles)
Javascript Redirect May not be counted by Search Engines
Slower on Web Servers
Fine for Users
Meta Refresh Search Engines Don’t Always Treat as Permanent
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Slower on Web Servers
28. Step 3: Delight Your Visitors with
Phenomenal Design + Usability.
29. Search Engines Finally Care About Design
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://www.seobythesea.com/?p=5168
30. Panda/Farmer Update was a First Step
Generic design is one of the features highly correlated with lost traffic in Panda/Farmer.
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-farmer-update-analysis-of-winners-vs-losers
31. Great Design is Surprisingly Easy & Affordable
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Using the search query “CSS Gallery” will bring up tons of sites like http://www.cssbeauty.com/gallery/
32. Many Usability Basics are Intuitive
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://www.usability.gov/basics/index.html
33. Buy “Don’t Make Me Think.” Memorize It.
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
A great sample chapter is here: http://www.sensible.com/chapter.html
34. Use Your Analytics to Establish Baselines
and Measure Progress
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Google Analytics is totally free! http://www.google.com/analytics
35. Employ Usability Testing Software to Get Specific
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://www.uxbooth.com/blog/information-gathering-a-roundup-of-ux-applications/
36. Step 4: Use Words Your Customers Use;
Do Keyword Research.
37. The Best Keywords Are:
High Volume
(many searches/month)
Low Competition
(weak sites/pages in the top 10)
High Value
(large % of visitors convert)
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
The tricky part is finding these terms/phrases
38. Keyword Research Starts w/ the Right Brainstorming Process
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Graphic via Elliance: http://www.elliance.com/aha/infographics/keyword-research-part-2.aspx?page=1&category=ROI
40. Microsoft AdCenter Keyword Data
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
https://adcenter.microsoft.com
41. Determining Keyword Difficulty
Number of results is
meaningless
We want to know how “strong”
these sites/pages are
And how our site’s/page’s
metrics compare
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
42. SEOmoz Has a Tool to Help With This
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
http://www.seomoz.org/keyword-difficulty
43. Determining a Keyword’s “Value”
1,000 200
Visitors Searched “Usability Visitors Searched “User Testing
Testing” and Arrived at the Site Software” and Arrived at the Site
20 40
Visitors Took the Product Tour Visitors Took the Product Tour
Conversion Rate:
2 0.2% 5% 10
Visitors Bought the Software Visitors Bought the Software
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Keyword volume is initially appealing, but conversion rate is critical to the evaluation!
44. Buying PPC is a Great Way to Test
How do these
visitors perform?
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Just be aware that PPC behavior isn’t always the same as organic click behavior
45. Put the Data Together and Start with
Low-Hanging Fruit
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
I like to use heat indices based on estimated value: Excel can do this automatically
46. Step 5: Optimize your Pages Properly;
Get Keyword Targeting Right.
47. Title Tags

70. Google + Bing Now Counting Facebook & Twitter
Danny Sullivan: If an article is retweeted or referenced much in
Twitter, do you count that as a signal outside of finding any non-
nofollowed links that may naturally result from it?
Google: Yes, we do use it as a signal. It is used as a signal in our
organic and news rankings. We also use it to enhance our news
universal by marking how many people shared an article

71. SEO Properties of Classic HTML Links
URL Rel=“Nofollow”
(the link target) (a tag that indicates search engines
shouldn’t trust/count this link)
<p><a href=http://www.seomoz.org rel=“nofollow”>
SEOmoz’s Website </a> is a good resource for those seeking
to learn more about search engine optimization.</p>
Anchor text Surrounding Text
(tells the engine what (may provide context on
this link is about) the link’s relevance)
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Text goes here
72. SEO Properties of Tweets
Tweeter URL
(the authority/importance of (the link target)
the tweeting person matters)
Retweets
(possible signal that a link/
tweet is more important)
Surrounding Text
(in tweets, this sometimes
seems used like anchor text)

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/tweets-effect-rankings-unexpected-case-study
73. SEO Properties of Facebook Shares
URL
(the link target)
Shares
(how many users have
shared the link)
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
Shares, Likes + Updates must be PUBLIC or Google/Bing can’t “see” them.

use the badge and link to

93. Understand Your Website’s Conversion Funnel
Home Page List of Cheeses Hours + Directions
15% 10%
Hopefully, this means a
customer is going to
come buy some cheese!
This is the weakest form of a funnel – applying actions to things like forms, emails,
http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
“buy” buttons, checkout pages, etc. is a better way to go.
95. More Traffic
Home Page List of Cheeses Hours + Directions
15% 10%
More visits to the home page means
more people will decide to visit
It’s http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
a lot of hard work to get more visits, though, and we don’t know if they’ll be the kind who love cheese!
96. A Better Funnel
Home Page List of Cheeses Hours + Directions
25% 20%
A better “conversion rate” means more people
who already visit the site will come to the store!

Woo hoo! Now for every 1,000 people that visit the site, 25 are potential cheese buyers!

sometimes complex/confusing

experience with this one
