This must be the best video presentation on web standards and SEO. If you are so astounded by the clarity of the material that you can’t remember a thing, below are a few points to take away:

  • Do your layout with divs
  • Please don’t use tables even though they work fine
  • Describe the DOCTYPE so the browser can relate
  • Check in all browsers
  • Title everything including links and images
  • Don’t use <b(old)>, please use <strong> ’cause if you use <b(old)> then it’s all then wrong

Go watch now and enjoy!

Don’t use tables for layout, surely.

Nice!! (Not sure I agree with titles on everything though -- they don't offer any SEO value, and offer limited accessibility. Of course they can be useful, but blanket use on everything I would be cautious about.)

I have seen this guy before on a video about linking and getting PR. Before I saw his video I never would have thought that someone would actually taken the time to make a rap around web development. In any case, I think he does a great job and from I know about the linking video and what to look out for, he seems to be right on. Obviously he touched only on pretty basic code practices but I think he does great...maybe new genre on MTV. ha ha. Hopefully more people tune into him because there is still a lot ugly code and clueless developers out there.

I got to hand it to the Poetic SEO Rapper, you got to me and you have accomplished what friends have tried in the months I started to learn web programming. Thanks to this site's w.master, finally DOCTYPE and checking all browsers will be fully understood...there's nothing as irritating as a site that does not run on the browser you have...
