Both on-page and off-page optimization techniques are covered. Specific optimization strategies are outlined for Google, Yahoo, and MSN, focusing on factors like backlinks, content, site structure and link aging.
SEO involves optimizing a website to increase its visibility in organic search results. It is not a secret and can be done by business owners themselves using free tools from Google and WordPress plugins. Key aspects of SEO include focusing on high-quality, original content; continuous optimization as search algorithms evolve; and building relevant backlinks naturally over time rather than using manipulative techniques. Keywords alone do not determine rankings - search looks at entire queries and content quality. Duplicate content and low-quality backlinks can hurt a site.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

30. Page Titles
What is it?
The Page Title, is the title of the web page that
appears at the top of a browser window. The
Page Title also appears prominently in search
results.
Why it’s important:
Search engines weight the <title> tag heavily.
To be effective, page titles must be unique to
each page and must contain the most
appropriate keywords in relation to the theme
of the web page.
Best Practice:
Limit the page title to 70 characters.
Include brand first and test in association
with targeted key phrases first
Copy should be written with users in mind
(title copy appears in search results)
This is the main Call-To-Action in a SERP
page
Title should display a compelling
marketing message
31. Headings/Sub headings
What is it?
The heading is the focus for the page for the eye
as well as the search engine. The heading should
include obvious descriptive words for the content
of the page.
If you can’t describe in brief all of the content of
the page in the heading consider rewriting,
possibly adding an additional page.
Why it’s important:
Keyword choice, frequency, placement and
spacing are all attributes that search algorithms
may include in their ranking calculations. Even
minor content modifications can have a major
impact on keyword rankings.
H1 H2
Best Practice:
• Every page should have one H1 tag
• Other headings should use H2 or H3 tags
• Don’t wrap heading tags around links
• Write copy geared towards users and
readability
• Using relevant keywords and phrases within
the page will improve relevancy
• Do not repeat tags as this will dilute value of
your main keywords
H3’s
32. Body Content
What is it?
Body content includes the copy, images and other assets
that appear within the HTML <body> tags of a web
page. This includes all content visible to a user in the
browser window.
Why it’s important:
Keyword choice, frequency, placement, and spacing are all
factors that impact on positional rankings. Even minor
content modifications can have an impact. Good copy is
as important to the effectiveness and credibility of your
website as it is to search engines.
Best Practice:
• Write copy geared towards users and readability
• Using relevant keywords and phrases within the page
will improve relevancy
• Focus on no more than 3-4 keywords per page
• Break long paragraphs into shorter, more concise
informational blurbs
• Avoid repeating keywords unnecessarily
(keyword stuffing)
• Aim for 3-6% keyword density e.g. a page of 100 words
would have 3 to 6 mentions of a single word or key
phrase
• Headings and links are included within this word count,
but linking words or phrases optimises the destination
page not the page where the link sits
• Use derivatives and definitions of terms e.g. carbon
offset/green, car/motor
• 200 words is optimal
33. Hyperlinks
What is it?
Hyperlinks describe the content of the page that
the link points to. Including the correct text in the
hyperlink can benefit the visibility of the page that
you are linking to.
Why it’s important:
Search engines weight hyperlnks. To be effective
the link should not be a non-specific ‘click to read
more’ but rather a phrase indicative of what the
user should expect on the linked to page.
Best Practice:
• Not too many links between one page and
others
• Write copy geared towards users and
readability
• Use text descriptive of the page linked to
• Use contextual links to relevant internal
content
• Using relevant keywords and phrases within
the page will improve relevancy of the linked
to page
• Focus on one keyword
• Keep the link concise
• Example: “get an instant home insurance
quote”
34. Meta Descriptions What is it?
The Meta Description is an HTML tag used
to describe a page to users and search
engines.
Why it’s important:
The Meta Description tag is evaluated by
search engines to determine relevancy.
Additionally, the Meta Description is
commonly included in search engine
results.
Best Practice:
Limit descriptions to 156 characters
Include all targeted key phrases
Copy should be written with users in
mind (description copy appears in
search results)
Create a unique meta description for
every page
Should describe overall theme of the
page and entice users to click-through
<meta name="description" content="Businesses,
professionals and academics worldwide turn to Informa for
unparalleled knowledge, up-to-the minute information and
highly specialist skills and services" />
35. Image alt. text What is it?
The ‘alternative text’ option that is used
by screen reader software for the short
sighted is also read by search engines.
Image alt.text plays a big part in image
search results.
Why it’s important:
Adhere to the Disabilities and
Discriminations Act (DDA) and is W3C
recommended.
Best Practice:
• Describe the banner by using
keywords related to the page that the
banner is placed on
• Use descriptive image names if
possible
• Use captions around the image to aid
relevancy
37. What is Paid Search Advertising?
• Paid Search or “Pay Per Click (PPC)” Advertising model in
which advertisers pay search engines to display text, image
and video ads on their website. Ads are served based on
keywords or phrases.
• There are many search engines and companies that
provide this form of advertising model:
38. Budget
What is it?
Having enough budget is a crucial factor for
running an effective campaign. Planning is critical
to achieving targets. Knowing how much you have
to spend will help you determine CPC, CPA & ROI
and forecast effectively.
Why is it important?
It can be easy to waste money by not considering
keywords, copy & landing pages in addition to
budget planning. A campaign can be ineffective
without enough budget e.g. Not enough visibility
and therefore less traffic.
Ultimately a tipping point will be reached when
spending more will have no further benefit, this is
managed by implementing a test and learn
strategy based on spend
Caps are put in place to control spend and ensure
optimum visibility these can be daily/weekly etc
Budgets need to be split between Search Engines
in order to gain maximum reach or users
Best Practices
• Budgets can be reapportioned seasonally e.g.
tax year end and tactically e.g. to integrate
with other media
• Review budgets on a regular basis (not
annually), best practice is setting a month
budget as this can be adjusted to reflect the
current market
39. Keywords
What is it?
PPC is an auction-based environment is open
for all. Auctions are based on keywords or sets
of keywords – called campaigns or Ad Groups.
Why is it important?
While it’s important to cover both branded and
generic keywords there are cost and complexity
implications. Generic terms will cost more but
will also drive more traffic; Branded keywords
will convert better. It’s better to have a separate
advert for each keyword group
Best Practices
• Monitor brand keyword bidding by
competitors to ensure relevancy and
coverage
• Group keywords together to form ad groups
• Use negative keywords to filter unwanted
impressions e.g. ‘private Ryan’
• Test competitive keywords on broad, phrase
& exact match
• Continually revise keywords

Why is it important?
Search engine algorithms evaluate the
landing page to calculate Quality Score,
which can impact on cost and ranking
position.

49. How paid and natural search work well together
Google has commissioned a number of studies in partnership with Enquiro (a market research company) that shows
brand recall and purchase consideration is greater when appearing in the top paid and natural search results for
generic queries. It is not surprising that recall is higher, when the brand displayed twice upon the page.
In the right hand graph, Google study shows that for a branded query purchase consideration increases by 7% if you
appear in both paid and natural.

52. How to save money by integrating paid and
natural search tactics
1. Analytics - Use the click stream data from Assisted Conversions to make sure all terms are on exact
match and thus lower CPC. Use Site Intelligence data to refine mis-spells and lower CPC
2. Search Terms - Test a broad range of search terms in Paid Search and incorporate the good converters
into Natural Search
3. Creative message – Test different creative in Paid Search and deploy the most successful and relevant as
the meta description of the appropriate page for natural search
4. Quality Score – improve bid prices and positional visibility by optimising your landing pages to make them
more relevant and conversion indusive
5. Budget - Priorities Natural Search strategies for certain search terms, to offset costs in competitive Paid
Search markets. Alternatively, we can reinforce brand messages across both channels, or improve visibility
in ‘hard to reach’ natural markets with tactical paid search activity

SEO Audit > Technical Optimisation
58. Redirects
Factor:
Redirection facilitates movement of a visitor from
one page or website to another. Redirects are
often used in conjunction with domain name
changes, moving or removing content,
introducing new content, or directing users based
on profiling. Redirects can happen at the web
server (301, 302 Redirects) or at the page-level
(Meta-Refresh)
Implications:
The nature of a redirect communicates important
information to a search engine. 302 redirects also
indicate to the search engines that the content is
temporary and will be changed in the near future.
Popularity attained by the previous site or page
may not be passed on to the new site.
Best practice/Action required:
Server-side redirects are recommended in nearly
all cases. 301 Permanent Redirects should be
used when the change is long-term or
permanent, which allows pagerank and link
popularity to transfer.
Alternative practices:
NA
59. Javascript Navigation Factor:
Navigational elements are executed using
Javascript technology.
Implications:
Search engine spiders are unable to follow
Javascript navigation and are therefore
unable to find pages accessible only
through Javascript. Additionally, human
visitors without Javascript-enabled
browsers will not be able to navigate the
site
Best Practices/Action Required:
Use CSS or HTML based navigation.
Alternative practices:
Supplement Javascript navigation with on-
page HTML-based navigation located in the
page footer.
Include a HTML link to a sitemap with static
links to key pages within the website.
Naviga&on
is
removed
with
Javascript
disabled.
60. Websites in Flash Factor:
Valuable website content is implemented using Flash
technology. For reference, see plugintomarriott.com
Implications:
Search engine spiders cannot read content or follow
links implemented in Flash.
Best Practices/Action Required:
- Implement a static HTML, low-bandwidth version of
the website that mirrors the content within your
Flash files
- Implement user-agent detection to deliver the
HTML site to spiders and the Flash version to human
visitors.
Alternative Practices:
Break up the Flash movies into smaller components
and lay the SWF files into optimized, linked HTML
pages with unique URL’s
Disclaimer:
Google is able to index flash sites. HTML content is still
a preferred method of crawlable content for any bot.
Please see iCrossing’s POV on Flash crawlability
(http://greatfinds.icrossing.com/?p=374).
61. Content Produced in AJAX
Factor:
AJAX, or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML,
is a web development technique used to
load content from a server without changing
pages. AJAX relies heavily on JavaScript to
display and swap content.
Implications:
Search engine spiders generally cannot read
AJAX content.
Best Practices/Action Required:
Use AJAX selectively, primarily for
supplemental content associated with low
search volumes.
Alternative Practices:
Create a static, spider friendly version of your
site that includes content from within your
Javascript
62. Robots.txt Files
Factor:
A robots.txt file is a human configured file that
resides in the web server’s root directory and
contains directional information for search engine
spiders.
Implications:
Many search engines, including Google, will refer to
the robots.txt file to understand which directories
or files to exclude from crawling.
Best Practices/Action Required:
All web servers should include a robots.txt file
configured to exclude non-relevant folders and
files, such as support files, CSS files, sensitive
information.
Validate each robots.txt file using analysis tool
available in Google Sitemaps, or contact iCrossing
for assistance.
Alternative Practices:
NA
Insert client or
domain specific
example
63. Cloaking
Factor:
Presenting one version of web content to
human users and a different version to
search engines is known as cloaking. This
process commonly occurs through IP
detection or user-agent detection.
Implications:
Search engines are continually improving
their ability to identify cloaking and often
harshly penalize offenders, including
banning the domain from their index.
Best Practices/Action Required:
Cloaking is a practice that should never be
used.
Alternative Practices:
NA
64. URL Structure (session IDs)
Factor:
A web server assigns a unique session ID
variable within the URL for each visit for
tracking purposes.
Implications:
Search engine spiders revisiting a URL will be
assigned a different session ID each visit, which
will result in each visit to a page appearing as a
unique URL and causing indexing
inconsistencies, and possibly duplicate content
penalties.
Best practice/Action required:
Implement user-agent detection to remove
the session ID’s for search engine visits.
Alternative Practices:
NA
Insert client or
domain specific
example
65. URL Structure (folder structure)
Factor:
Valuable content associated with highly
competitive keywords is organized many
folders deep within a web site.
Implications:
Search engines generally associate the
importance (read: relevancy) of content based
on its placement within a site hierarchy, so that
less importance/relevancy is associated with
content deep within a folder structure.
Best practice/Action required:
Web sites should be as flat as possible, with
content relating to highly competitive keywords
implemented on pages high on the hierarchy.
Alternative Practices:
Implement a URL rewrite on the server to
flatten the folder structure to visitors and
search engines.
66. URL Structure(name value pairs)
Factor:
Name-value pairs are used within URL’s to
provide information necessary to produce
dynamic content. Name-value pairs generally
follow the “?” symbol in the URL.
Implications:
The primary challenge with name-value pairs
is that they create lengthy URL’s and therefore
risk scrutiny by search engines. Additionally,
name-value pairs often do not contain
valuable keywords, thereby reducing
relevancy.
Best practice/Action required:
Rewrite dynamic URLs on the server with
mod_rewrite or similar program. This will
shorten and simplify the URL and allow
valuable keywords to be used in the URL.
Alternative practices:
Use valuable keywords in the name-value
pairs whenever possible and keep the
quantity of pairs to no more than three.

e=OSSHUDSSZZZ&rfnbr=4782
67. Canonicalization Issues
Factor:
Canonicalization is the process of picking the best URL
when there are several choices, usually referring to the
homepage of a website.
Implications:
Search Engines may not pick the client-preferred URL,
rather the one they determine to be most relevant.
Best practice/Action required:
There are a few ways to ensure that the proper URL is
indexed:
Consistent linking:
• When linking to
www.bankofamerica.com on other pages
within the site, always use this method
• When requesting links from other sites,
always point to www.domain.com if using
this method from the example above
Use 301 Permanent redirects on the web server
• Redirect the non-www homepage to the
www version of the homepage
Alternative practices:
NA
Insert client or
domain specific
example
Viewed as the same by most search engines:
http://www.bankofamerica.com
http://www.bankofamerica.com/index.cfm
68. Duplicate Content
Factor:
Duplicate content exists when two or more
pages within a website, or on different
domains, share identical content. Different
domain names do not create distinct content.
Implications:
Major search engines consider duplicate
content to be spam and are continually
improving their spam filtering process to
penalize and remove offenders.
Best practice/Action required:
Avoid duplicate content issues by using
unique copy and other content on each page
of a website, to include streamlining the
content management system to associate the
correct content with the intended domain.
Alternative practices:
NA
Insert client or
domain specific
example
69. Internal Link Optimization
Factor:
Internal linking between pages within a web site, such
as navigational elements or a site map, plays an
important role in how search engines perceive the
relevancy and theme of both web pages.
Implications:
Proper intra-site linking will help facilitate effective
spidering, in addition to increasing relevancy of pages
and keywords used in the anchor text.
Best practice/Action required:
Use static, crawlable text links
Optimized anchor text should be used
Keep the number of links on a sitemap to less than
100
Sitemaps should be linked directly from homepage
and other major pages throughout the web site
Use only core, 200-level URLs.
Alternative practices:
Refrain from using images, Flash, or non-static text
when possible for linking
70. Splash Pages
Factor:
A splash page can consist of either a large
graphic image or a Flash animation and
serves as the primary user entry point to a
website by using the root domain name as its
URL.
Implications:
Generally, splash pages replace the true home
page in a search engine index and are
detrimental to SEO practices. Splash page can
also prevent spiders from accessing the inner
pages of the site, resulting in inner pages not
getting indexed and ranked. Additionally, the
temporary nature of splash pages creates a
challenge for linking and relevancy purposes.
Best Practices/Action required:
Do not use splash pages.
Alternative practices:
For promotional or attention-getting content,
use a popup window on the home page or
unique pages prominently linked from the
home page.
Home Page: www.saturn.com/saturn/
Saturnindex.jsp
71. Document Accessibility Factor:
Pages or content that is moved, removed, or
changed can result in errors, such as a 404
Page Not Found.
Implications:
Missing content and broken links signal to
search engines that the website is not
properly maintained. The effect is reduced
rankings and also user frustration when bad
links are followed
Best practice/Action required:
- Repair all broken links as soon as possible
- Use 301 Permanent redirects to direct
users and search engine spiders to the new
location, as applicable
- Implement custom 404 page on the
website with helpful navigation for users.
- Keep 301 redirects in place for 60-90 days
before removing from the site
Alternative practices:
n/a
72. Excessive On-page Scripting Factor:
Search engine spiders index a limited
amount of web page code, approximately
100K, when crawling or spidering a web
page.
Implications:
Excessive use of on-page scripting or CSS,
especially at the top of a web page, limits the
amount of content search engines will see.
Best Practices/Action Required:
Place any Javascript code and CSS that is
longer than three lines into an external .js
or .css file. Use an external file increases
flexibility of code and easy way to update for
maintenance.
Alternative practices:
Move on-page scripting to the bottom of the
page.
