Some SEO wisdom from Microsoft

Aug 21, 2008

I just happened across a page published by Microsoft detailing 8 SEO tips. Oddly, the information is well presented and I find myself mostly agreeing with what they suggest.

A lot of readers will be familiar with all this anyway, but I thought it might be relevant to some website owners or new faces.

Microsoft: help people find your website.

I particularly like that they mention Google's services before MSN's services - proving that this article is more than just a shameless plug for MSN search (well done team(.

Found two of points in number 4 interesting:

"Having disreputable sites link to yours can harm your rankings."

"Ask disreputable sites to remove any links to your site."

And I found the other day quite a few companies in NZ are still doing no.6

Off to spam all the competitors ;)

Yeah, that one did put a smile on my face - as if the "disreputable websites" will respond to your request to remove links.

And yeah, obviously #6 submitting your site to search engines is a horse shit idea and that time should be spent garnering links instead.

But on the whole, I thought it wasn't a bad layman's summary from Microsoft.
