I Am A Donut: How to Avoid International SEO MistakesTom Brennan
Tom Brennan from digital marketing agency Adapt Worldwide, presents the top mistakes made when performing international SEO. Originally delivered at Brighton SEO in October 2022
BrightonSEO - Master Crawl Budget Optimization for Enterprise WebsitesManick Bhan
For every website on the internet, Google has a fixed budget for how many pages their bots can and are willing to crawl. The internet is a big place, so Googlebot can only spend so much time crawling and indexing our websites. Crawl budget optimization is the process of ensuring that the right pages of our websites end up in Google’s index and are ultimately shown to searchers.
Google’s recommendations for optimizing crawl budget are rather limited, because Googlebot crawls through most websites without reaching its limit. But enterprise-level and ecommerce sites with thousands of landing pages are at risk of maxing out their budget. A 2018 study even found that Google’s crawlers failed to crawl over half of the webpages of larger sites in the experiment.
Influencing how crawl budget is spent can be a more difficult technical optimization for strategists to implement. But for enterprise-level and ecommerce sites, it’s worth the effort to maximize crawl budget where you can. With a few tweaks, site owners and SEO strategists can guide Googlebot to regularly crawl and index their best-performing pages.
Tasked with a content audit? It can seem impossible when you have thousands of URLs to sift through alone. But in this talk, Lucy will provide actionable steps on how to do a content audit, walking you through what to cull and what to keep, plus providing methods to quickly break down pages by different search intents to simplify your work.

Web accessibility (A11Y) is about making the web usable for people with disabilities, and it also benefits others with changing abilities, such as older people. Internationalization (I18N) and localization (L10N) are about translating web sites into other languages. UTF8 is a Unicode character set, which is now the dominant one used on the web, and it’s designed to include characters from just about every written language. Each of these topics are typically discussed in isolation from each other, but in this talk – after a gentle introduction to each of them – we’ll explore their interconnections.

The Technical Writers Guide to Contributing to Open Source ProjectsAll Things Open
Presented by: Edidiong Asikpo, Hashnode
Presented at All Things Open 2020
Abstract: The documentation of an open source project provides an avenue for users to not only understand the project but also make contributions to it. Surveys (https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4008838/Resources/The-2019-Tidelift-managed-open-source-survey-results.pdf) have even shown that a good documentation saves as a sign of the healthiness of an open source project.
However, technical writers still think they are not meant to contribute to open source projects because of the stereotype that only software engineers are meant to contribute to open source.
In this talk, I will introduce the audience to how technical writers can contribute to open source projects, best practices, and it’s benefits.
Lisa Pietrangeli shows how small changes can cause exponential cost increases when translating documentation. She shows five steps anyone can take to make better document that can be translated much more easily and inexpensively.

24 Ways to Shut Down The Application and Other Apocryphal StoriesScott Abel
Presented by Dave Ashton at Documentation and Training West, May 6-9, 2008 in Vancouver, BC
The word apocryphal comes from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφα, meaning “those having been hidden away”. In this presentation, David will talk about the stories that companies like yours don’t want to tell. Learn about the 24 different ways one company used to “shut down your application” or how another company localizes devices and the accompanying documents to different languages. Then learn a little on how to manage this.
Within any complex organization, the content “conveyor belts” driven by specific business units deliver similar information through different routes—the authoring practices, rules and processes particular to that business unit. These conveyer belts all converge at the point when the content is distributed to the end customer—which is where the inconsistencies take their toll. When this information is also delivered in multiple languages the problem is exacerbated.
Authoring inconsistencies combined with localization to many markets can create havoc within an organization trying to create a single face for the customers. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and achieve consistency in global authoring to optimize, cost, time and consistency.
