- Web Accessibility Design Guidelines
It's a sad fact that a lot of information on the Web is not directly accessible by people with disabilities. Why? Because most Web site managers and developers are ignorant of the needs of those people with disabilities who cannot use the Web in the standard way. Here are some examples of common accessibility design considerations: Include alternative (ALT) text for every image on your site Provide text links in addition to image map links Provide alternatives to multimedia content Make sure colors don't hinder the accessibility of your content (it is often said that 10% of the population suffer with color-blindness) Provide alternatives to Web pages using frames Make sure all text is readable Make sure content is accessible to assistive technology, such as screen readers Even following these basic guidelines will make your site most accessible than many. There are thousands of sites that use graphics in situations where a paragraph of text would be adequate. Even if you want to use graphics to illustrate a point, make sure you also supply text for those who cannot (or choose not to) view graphics!- Mobile optimisation important for SEO?
It’s 2014, which means we are officially one year away from the year that Kelsey Group predicted mobile search will eclipse desktop search. Are you making your mobile resolutions to ensure you’re ready for when that time comes? Mobile share of overall search traffic was nearly one third in Q3 of last year according to RKG. I’d like to start the new year with a short reflection of how far mobile SEO as a discipline has come in less than five years.- Pros and Cons of Panda 4.0 effect
On May 19, Google began rolling out its latest version of the Panda site quality algorithm. Originally released in 2011, and sometimes referred to as the Farmer Update, Panda 1.0 targeted content farms and other thin content sites. Since then, 27 Panda updates have been made, mostly in the form of monthly data refreshes. According to Matt Cutts, Google’s head of web spam, this version of the Panda algorithm will change the search results for approximately seven and a half percent of all search queries. That’s the largest Panda-related change in Google’s search results since 2011. Panda’s updates can take up to 10 days to roll out completely, so we’ll likely see further fluctuations in search results and organic search performance for the next week or so. - Web Accessibility Design Guidelines
