While a migration of a small site is pretty simple, as soon as you move into migrating larger sites there are lot more things to consider. Whether it’s the more advanced redirect requirements, or poor implementation that slipped the checks, there are a number things we can do to ensure it’s still a successful one.
I will run through my tips on how to correctly perform a website migration, and cover;
• How to map out your migration
• Issues that you may face
• Post-migration analysis
We will be working through analysis of data you should already have, like pre-migration rankings & website scrapes, but I will also cover how to analyse a migration where you didn't have the correct data to begin with. This would be particularly useful if you have a client that has recently stuffed one up, and needs your help, or if you’re trying to work out whether a competitor’s migration was successful.
Information Architecture for SEOs - Matching intent to pages & internal linki...Dominic Woodman
Links are part of the puzzle, but if your site makes no sense and doesn’t do a good job of matching up intents to templates and pages, all the links in the world aren’t going to help. I want to take people through the process of matching intents to templates first.
Don't worry we'll still get to links, but we'll start with the more under-used part.
The process is roughly: building your keyword area, gathering all the SERP data, grouping those keywords into intents, analysing those the SERP groupings for those keywords, turning the output into page and keyword targeting and then evaluating how the process went, because crucially this is a process. You probably won’t nail it first time.
For the links part we'll evaluate 5 main principles for building an information architecture.
- Aim for a shallow pyramid
- Don't have dead end pages
- Use anchor text
- Link topics together
- Don't link to non-indexable URLs

Pardot Webinar - Unlocking the Mysteries of SEO - A B2B Marketer's GuidePardot
This document provides an introduction to search engine optimization (SEO) for B2B marketers. It discusses key SEO strategies and tactics including page structure, keywords, meta tags, links, and content quality. The goal of SEO is to improve a website's visibility in organic search results. The document provides guidance on techniques like optimizing page titles, URLs, and keyword density to help sites rank higher in search engines. It cautions against "black hat" SEO tactics that could hurt a site's ranking.
Web analytics involves measuring, collecting, analyzing, and reporting internet data to understand and optimize website usage. It can be used as a tool for business and market research as well as improving website effectiveness. Web analytics applications can also help measure the results of traditional advertising campaigns by estimating how traffic to a website changes after a new campaign launch. Key metrics include the number of visitors and page views, which provide information about traffic and popularity trends useful for market research.
Search engines use crawlers to discover web pages by following links and build an index of important words and their locations, then calculate relevance and rank pages to provide answers to user search queries as quickly as possible by leveraging massive data centers to store and process information from billions of indexed web pages.
The document provides information about WebTrends Query Parameters, which are passed in URLs via JavaScript to WebTrends software to automatically configure web analytics reporting and features. It describes the syntax of query parameters, including the parameter name, value, and format. It also lists and explains different types of query parameters for auto-configuration, custom reports, and visitor properties.
SEO has evolved significantly over time from focusing solely on on-page context to also considering off-page authority and now personalization. Early SEO involved stuffing keywords and optimizing individual pages. Later, the focus shifted to creating high-quality, shareable content to attract links from other sites to build authority. Now, search results are highly personalized based on user history, social connections, and real-time information. To succeed at SEO today, companies must publish content across multiple channels, build large social followings, engage those followers, and empower all employees to participate in content sharing and marketing.
Google's search algorithm and ranking factors have evolved significantly over the years. Newer signals like social media, user behavior data, and brand strength have become increasingly important. Google's interface has also modernized to showcase more rich content. For marketers to succeed, they need to focus on creating high-quality, user-centric content while avoiding outdated tactics and establishing their online presence as a trusted brand.
This document provides tips and strategies for advanced SEO for ecommerce sites. It discusses challenges like optimizing the large number of product and category pages for relevant keywords. It then outlines a product launch roadmap involving blog posts, social media, and linkbuilding. Other sections provide ideas for linkbuilding through widgets, expired product handling, followup emails, and using social media links. The document aims to help ecommerce sites effectively manage SEO at scale.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document contrasts the different lifestyles and experiences of time for two men - Ben, who lives in the city and has a fast-paced job as a market analyst, and Bob, who lives on a farm in the country and has a more leisurely lifestyle. It argues that people live in their own "time cages" based on their lifestyle choices and how they spend their time. The purpose of the book is to teach time management skills so readers can be more productive and organized with their time, like managing tasks effectively, despite living in a fast-paced world.
The document discusses keys to success with an internet business. It states that passion and determination are essential, and lists important steps as developing your own product, building a professional website designed to sell, creating quality content, driving targeted traffic, building an opt-in list, writing killer sales copy, accepting credit cards, and gaining credibility. The true secret is to never give up and keep trying as most people fail just before success.
The document discusses the evolution of marketing from Marketing 1.0 to Marketing 3.0. Marketing 1.0 was product-centric, while Marketing 2.0 became more consumer-centric. Now in Marketing 3.0, marketing must be value-centric and meet consumers' emotional and rational needs. It emphasizes engaging with consumers, building trust and credibility through authenticity, transparency, and responsiveness. Mass connectors and social media influencers are important to target. To succeed in Marketing 3.0, companies must adapt to this new collaborative environment and be sensitive to changes in consumer behavior.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
