Wordpress and SEO

Christian Decker wrote this in the early evening:
I just stumbled over this very nice article that may improve Search Engine hits. Thomas suggests that you:
  • Use Permalinks
  • Make unique page titles
  • Use Markup correctly (Page Titles as <h1> and <h2>)
  • Use the alt as additional information for images
  • Use “Web 2.0“ish Tags
  • Link to related posts
  • Use Google Sitemaps
  • Ping Aggregators
  • Use Valid markup
  • Get backlinks
And much, much more. Surely an interesting read for Bloggers :)

Cross-Domain limitation, a feature?

Christian Decker wrote this around lunchtime:
Many developers on the Web see the cross-domain limitation as a personal issue, they believe that it was just created to annoy them and force them to work arounds.

Besides being a security enhancement, the cross-domain limitation may also be seen as a feature, forcing the developer to implement some server side caching for the remote Service-provider, taking the load from it and securing that even if the remote service-provider has some downtime, some data will still be available.

Personally I think that we as developers have to protect the ones that provide us with data (XML-Feeds, JSON, …) and not bomb them with requests from our visitors until they can’t survive.
