2. Why this title for the talk?
It is a boring topic so I thought at least the title
should be interesting
So chose a comics name
3. Disclaimers
No instant results like late night ads
These are guesses not facts
No time back guarantees
SEO is not OTC drug, it is a prescription drug
I do reserve the right to be wrong
4. Why SEO?
SEO is not a Mayavi Chudail
Do you have a rich father?
Builds long term value as opposed to short
term benefits
5. Philosophy
It is more and more technical now
Dont try to fool around
Think like a google programmer
Become influential
Follow SEO ethics
Strategic not tactical
6. Real Stuff
Be the tailor
Maintain hygiene
Sab ki suno par apne customers ki karo
Dont shoot yourself in the foot
Secular first then religious
Structure
Inlinks
Performance
7. Be the tailor
Measure index size and page types ( site: )
Understand crawl behaviour ( Analytics is not
enough )
Automate measurements and understand
trends
Watch aberrations closely as they can point to
other issues
8. Maintain Hygiene
Webmasters
Sitemaps ( coverage and % indexed )

10. Sab ki suno par karo customers ki
Read all Matt Cutts says, But dont believe it
Google is important but they are not going to
use your site
11. Dont shoot yourself in the foot
Nofollow to self
No SEO test cases in smoke testing
Robots to allow not deny
Index has staging site
Bad internal/external linking
Broken Links
Duplicate content
Different content for Google
12. Secular first then religious
Things which impact larger audience first
Kill the beast not the flies
13. Structure
Make it easy for search engine
Link less but link structured
Convey structure by different signals
Links
Sitemaps
URL and title structure

Structure can be more accurate than
classification

17. Dreamy Stuff
Location will be very important
Google will become language driven

And lived happily ever
after
Thanks
