What’s the point of what Chris? Wondering whether a publisher has a relationship with an external commercial entity – or is the query about my original blog post? Do share.

This sort of thing never ceases to amaze me. Just what is the point?

Thanks @eksith – over the years, I’ve found that you can boil down lots of search issues to electricity bills. Processing, quickest results returned, scanning, indexing – it’s all about saving cash. Just don’t mention boiling kettles when talking about Google searches – it ain’t true.

@Dan,
You mean never listen to “web hackers”.
Designers, for the most part, do try to make the best of the situation by creating easily indexed, relevant, presentations. Not that there aren’t some idiot designers out there who never take search engines into consideration. Or the consequences for trying to rig the system.

We do have a point when we say “don’t flood your page with crap”. Especially since that’s more stuff a search engine, or a visitor, needs to sift through to get to actual content. Often, site owners are uninterested in these recommendations and get what they want anyway. Of course, then it’s the designers fault the site isn’t high in search the rankings.

A well designed and well programmed site may even reduce a company’s carbon footprint as fewer UPU cycles would be need to process data and send it to the user. Even fewer if the site uses data caching so you don’t re-compute each and every time you get a new visitor.

That means using fewer servers to serve the same content and less energy.

Rule Number 1 of Search Engine Optimisation: Never listen to web designers – including that story about how their friend has been using black hat techniques for years and has never been caught.
