Disclaimer: this blog is intended for average user that would like to know more about ways to improve his/her site ranking. Experts are invited to post their comments, agree or disagree with my posting so this blog will be learning experience for everyone. Isn’t that cool?
We are done with keywords, meta tags title, description and the content of your site. Before submitting your pages to any search engine or directory is a good idea to see how your HTML knowledge stands out. Checking the accuracy of your HTML code is again quite important. Believe me, mistakes are done even by the most proficient people in the industry. Is always a chance that you forgot to close "" something or you forgot that "&" has to be followed by three letter code and ";" ("&").
If your site has several pages with a lot of coding, how you will be able to check for mistakes that will put search engines in a dilemma to continue indexing or not? Luckily for all of us there is an easy way to do it with the help of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) . W3C is an international organization that develops standards for the web so everyone will be on the same page. All you have to do is submit your URL to W3C and you will have a report with all the errors in a second or to.
You might have critical errors that have to be corrected right away and also you might have some warnings in regards to possible mistakes. Go to the line number listed on the error list and corrected if that is the case. Sometimes is part of the code you intended to be that way. W3C Organization is the only authority I recommend to check your HTML with.
Next time we will discuss about optimizing your links, pictures, videos and more.
