Announcing a new SEM Meetup for The SEMPO Vancouver Search Engine Marketing Group on September 13 2011 in Vancouver!
"I thoroughly enjoyed Alexandre Brabant’s eMarketing seminar, both for its content and for Alexandre’s informative and enthusiastic presentation style. I came away with a broad overview of what is involved in successfully marketing a website, which is exactly what I was looking for.”

Stop Character /// Certain characters, such as ampersand (&), equals sign (=), and question mark (?), when in a web page's URL, tip off a search engine that the page in question is dynamic. Search engines are cautious of indexing dynamic pages for fear of spider traps, thus pages that contain stop characters in their URL run the risk of not getting indexed and becoming part of the "Invisible Web." Google won't crawl more than one dynamic level deep. So dynamic pages with stop characters in its URL should get indexed if a static page links to it. Eliminating stop characters from all URLs on your site will go a long way in ensuring that your entire site gets indexed by Google.

Alt tags
Alternative text tags appear in place of images when the browser preferences are set for text only (image viewing option is turned off). Including them on your site enables visually impaired user reader programs (speech synthesizers) to read the alt tag aloud. On a PC, when a user mouse’s over an image, the alt tag becomes visible, it appears as text. For instance, Alt tags are not generally visible on a Mac unless the images are turned off.
