Lee Sykes of DNN Creative approached me about doing an interview on search engine optimization and DotNetNuke. I jumped at the opportunity and am happy to announce the Issue 4 release of DNN Creative that includes the DNN and SEO interview. I will admit that I do not know everything about search engine optimization nor DotNetNuke, and have not been in the SEO game long. Nor do I have the stomach to live on the whim of Google or any other search engine algorithm change, but there are a LOT of basic things you can do to make your DNN site rank better in the search engines. I have seen many DNN sites that might look good to the user as far as look and feel are concerned, but the code looks long and poorly optimized in the source. This is disappointing because without the search engines really picking up on the DotNetNuke movement, as well as the search engine users finding sites built with DNN, the opponents of the darkside (damn hippy PHP coders) will continue their run at being the choice for data rich SE friendly sites. What I do know about SEO is from running many DNN sites and trying things to see how the search engines treat them. Also, having wrote several crawlers/spiders, I do know how the bots that retrieve and index webpages work. So, check out the interview in Issue 4 of DNN Creative and search engine optimize your DNN website.
