Search Engine Optimization For Traditional MarketersVanessa Bright
Traditional marketers have many misconceptions about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

SEO Practices for Blogs - Stop Blogging a Dead HorseMichael Jones
"Stop Blogging a Dead Horse" is a presentation I originally gave back at the June 2015 SEO Melbourne Meetup and inspired by an internal SEO training session I gave back while working for my last company.
I think it's common practice these days that everyone knows they need to blog, but have they even thought for a second on:
- Why they're actually doing it?
- Knowing what to write
- How to maximise it's impact?
- Is it working?
Hopefully through this presentation I can give you a few useful tips and guidance through the eyes on a SEO person. If i can make sure that at least 1 blog post goes out with an optimised <title> tag, my work here is done!
I have also created another presentation a while ago called "The SEOs Guide to Making a Website". Make sure you check it out.

When viewed individually, these changes might seem like incremental improvements, but when combined with other optimizations, they could have a noticeable impact on your site's user experience and performance in organic search results.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
3. What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? SEO is the practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. My Website
4. Why is SEO Necessary? Websites must be built to be read and understood by both robots and humans. Increased traffic, combined with a well-designed site, means leads and sales.
5. Search Crawlers Have Limitations Spidering and Indexing Non-text Content Matching Content to Search Queries If A Tree Falls In The Forest…
12. Judging Value Is the keyword relevant to the content on my website? Will users find the answer to their question? Check to see if other sites are paying for ads on that keyword If so, it is likely a valuable keyword Test keywords with Google Adwords Use the data to determine value per visit
15. Keyword Research Techniques Google Adwords Keyword Tool Search Google for “adwords keyword tool” https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal Select “Exact” under Match Types Click “Download” to export to Excel
16. Keyword Research Techniques Google Trends http://www.google.com/trends Shows seasonal change in search volume Compare volumes of one keyword vs another Shows trends according to country / city
17. Keyword Research Techniques Google Insights http://www.google.com/insights/search/ Can filter by type of search (web, image, news), geo area, date range, & category Shows related & “rising” search terms Example: auto insurance
18. Keyword Research Techniques Google Suggest Pros Free & Quick Huge Database Cons Limited # of Keywords Doesn’t show “broad match”
21. Keyword Research Techniques Related Searches Click on a link, then click on “More like this” to see terms related to that term
22. Keyword Research Techniques Other Ideas Use a thesaurus or dictionary to find new terms and variations Perform interviews with actual people and ask them how they would search for what you offer Do simple competitive research by typing your main keywords into a search engine and looking for words in the Titles of competitors pages KeywordSpy.com – search by keyword or domain (also good PPC bid estimates) WordTracker - wordtracker.com Keyword Discovery - keyworddiscovery.com (good for relative volumes, not actual volumes)
26. Meta Description HTML: <meta name="description" content="Description goes here."> Appears Where?: Search engine results pages Does not directly affect Google rankings, however Google bolds searched keywords in the description Can help to draw users to your search listing, increasing click-through rate, which does affect rankings Can be any length, but Google cuts the description off at about 160 characters Also Note: Meta Keywords Tag not used by search engines to affect rankings

30. URL http://www.mcdougallinteractive.com/services/ social-media-marketing / Appears Where?: search engine results, browser’s address bar 1. URLs in search results impact click-through-rate and visibility, and URLs with keywords also impact rankings. 2. URLs appear in the web browser's address bar, which doesn’t affect ranks directly; however unstructured URLs can result in poor usability. http://www.mcdougallinteractive.com/services/social-media-marketing/ 3. URLs can also sometimes be used as incoming link “anchor text”, especially in blog posts, articles, etc. Which would you click if you searched for “bunny pictures”? www.bunnyworld.com/cute-bunny-pictures.html www.bunnyworld.com/cat135/page.html?p=49
35. Internal Site Structures Anchor Text <a href=http://www.worldofwidgets.com.htm>Blue Widgets</a> Anchor Text tells users (and Google) what to expect on the page being linked to Match the anchor text to the content it links to Blue Widgets Blue Widgets
36. Internal Site Structures Content Silos Home Page Categories Products / Details Reflect your content structure in your URLs: http://www.worldofwidgets.com/blue-widgets/fuzzy-blue-widgets.htm
37.
38. URL Construction Put yourself in the mind of the user: Can you guess what the content of the page will be by looking at the URL? Use keywords, but don’t go overboard: Bad: http://www.worldofwidgets.com/widgets/widgets-again/widgets-widgets.html Good: http://www.worldofwidgets.com/blue-widgets/pricing.html Use static URLs rather than dynamic if possible: Dynamic: http://www.fluffybunnies.com/blog?id=123 Static: http://www.fluffybunnies.com/blog/why-you-should-own-bunnies.html Use real words: Bad: http://www.breadstore.com/cat-123/product-342 Good: http://www.breadstore.com/loaves/sourdough Use hyphens to separate words http://www.fluffybunnies.com/blog/why-you-should-own-bunnies.html - some engines don’t interpret underscores & spaces correctly
39. Canonicalization A single page can have multiple addresses: /cheap-widgets/ /cheap-widgets/index.htm /products/123 Problem: Creates duplicate content Incoming link “juice” is divided Solution #1 (The Best One): 301 Redirect Pick one “real” URL, and “301 Redirect” all other versions of the same page to the “real” URL.
40. Canonicalization A single page can have multiple addresses: /cheap-widgets/ /cheap-widgets/index.htm /products/123 Problem: Creates duplicate content Incoming link “juice” is divided Solution #2: rel=canonical (Canonical URL Tag) Add the following to the HTML header on all versions of the same page: <link rel=“canonical” href=“http://www.worldofwidgets.com/blog/”>
Spidering and Indexing Search engines don’t readily fill out online forms Poor linking structures can result in content not found, or deemed “unimportant” Non-text Content Content in Flash, frames, graphics, audio, & video cannot easily/consistently be accessed by search engines Matching Content to Search Queries Text not written in terms that users search for (e.g. you say “veggies” but people search for “vegetables”) Language and spelling (color vs colour) If A Tree Falls In The Forest… Search engines must be able to find your content and judge it worthy of inclusion in the search results
The highest volume keywords only account for 30% of searches SEM and content strategies should also target these 70% of searches that are for unpredictable keywords Examples - Head: insurance Medium-Tail: cheap car insurance Long-Tail: car insurance for low-income families
Switch to “live” shot of Adwords Keyword Tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Note people search for crock pots & slow cooker during the winter months (centered around Christmas / New Year) In the US, people search more for “crock pot”, but in Canada & UK people search more for “slow cooker”
Related searches = “searches that people did after searching the keyword you’re on, but didn’t find what they wanted & searched again” They also appear at the bottom of the page, but using the tool in the left column allows for drilling down
If you have a popular, recognizable brand, it’s okay to put the brand at the beginning of the Title tag.
If I say “wheels, tires, engine, seats, toyota, for sale, low mileage”, what am I talking about?
URL = Universal Resource Locator
Multiple addresses for one page is like multiple personalities in a single person. Who is the “real” one?
