When you begin your SEO campaign, it can be difficult to separate myth from truth. It seems everyone has different ideas of what works and what doesn’t, and even someone who’s been in the business awhile can get confused as SEO trends, tactics, and techniques change over the years.
While there may be much discrepancy, these 17 tips for SEO are something most experts seem to agree on. Following these rules, you can avoid some common mistakes and launch a successful campaign.
1. Perform keyword research. This is a very important step in your SEO campaign, before you even begin. Thoroughly research all keywords you may want to use – this can make a huge difference in your strategy.
Everyone knows it, so it must be true, right? Wrong! Craig Grannell talks to industry figures to uncover some major misconceptions in web design and development.
The moment you start working as a web designer or web developer, you’re told ‘do this’ and ‘don’t do that’. Official and unofficial rules abound. You soon internalise them and start passing them on to others, either consciously or subconsciously.
But here’s the bad news: not all of this advice is correct. Some of these firmly held ‘truths’ are based on outdated assumptions, and some were just wrong to start with.
It’s time to take a step back and reassess some of the myths and misconceptions circulating in the world of web design. With our sword of truth and shield of keen analysis, we’ll begin to break the cycle of bad advice and free our minds from outmoded dogma.
We’ll start at the very beginning of the design process, when you’re investigating potential audiences. And our first myth is, in the words of standards guru Eric Meyer, “the idea that global browser statistics matter in the slightest”. In fact, he points out, “What matters are the browsers visiting your site.”
By way of illumination, Meyer notes that a recent client had 14 per cent IE 5.01 usage – so Microsoft’s ancient browser suddenly became significantly more important than global statistics would otherwise suggest.

I have been developing a script that shows bar graphs. While similar
systems already exist, this one particularly is geared towards
accessibility. I was inspired on CSS For Bar Graphs. However, a major improvement is the added flexibility that comes from implementing it in ECMAScript. Even with these changes, the prevailing
first intention remains: that the graph is readable in plain HTML,
which is why it is appropriate for an accessible design. It works by
firstly creating the appropiate DOM tree of the graph, and then
applying the corresponding styles.
