Rails SEO Around the web

While Ruby on Rails specific SEO is a pretty small subject, compared to the larger world of SEO, it still requires some thought.

Over at http://www.bingocardcreator.com/rails-seo-tips.htm is a very large article on Rails-specific optimizations you can do to improve search engine rankings.

It includes:

  • The Case Study: Daily Bingo Cards
  • On-page Optimization
  • Sexy URLs, or, Default Routes Considered Harmful
  • Taming Your Title Tags (And Other Metadata)
  • Don’t Repeat Yourself… In Your Content
  • Off-page Optimization
  • acts_as_linkbait: making it easy to link to you
  • Bookmarks, Chicklets, and Permalinks, Oh My!

Some of the topics have been covered here at SEOonRails.com but it’s always nice to get another angle on it as there is always more than one way to do something when it comes to programming.
