[sdiy] why does google suck SO bad for finding my parts? Yahoo is on it!

[Johannes Öberg]

The ealier thread got too hostile for me so I didn't respond to what I
felt was insulting language (from you) but to defend my deciscion to
respond the way I did: if you make your web page easy for humans to
navigate, search engines will index you better. There's no way around
that since search engines are continually improved to emulate humans
better. Making your page better also has lots of side benefits
obviously.

As much as I share your sceptiscism towards centralized government and
globalist language, W3C has actually been very useful. The CSS2 and
xhtml standards changed the web (for the better).

As a normal person or small business, you don't have to pay W3C. You
pay them to become a member of their association, so you'll get their
services, some influence over decisions and to get information early
on.

And if you don't want to follow the W3C recommendations, you don't
have to. But their recommendations are usually good. Imho.

Your idea of tags that indicate what search engines should look for
doesn't work. Metatags were originally supposed to serve exactly that
purpose. They were quickly abused of course. As would any similar
solution be.

Therefore the only long term solution is to make a nice page. Which is
what we were trying to tell you.
