••••••> SEO, Search Engine Optimization Tip of the Day: 4 Tips to Optimize JavaScript for Search Spiders

SEO for Web 2.0 calls for a lot of new scripts – Ruby on Rails, Plain Java, Mootools, etc. Web developers often have heavy JavaScript in the website page head section. Having Java in your source code is easier for some developers because they are only dealing with one file. However, having heavy coding on the file is not good for SEO purposes. Java can be bloated and non-compliant. Most importantly, you have to edit each file if you use inline Java.
External JavaScript meanwhile has these strong SEO advantages:

1) It improves the size of the source code for faster search indexing.

2) Cool and useful 3rd party scripts mostly use external Java like mootools.

3) It allows for a cleaner and a more compact code structure.

4) Only a few files are needed changed if you want to update your whole site with JS on it. This makes maintenance a lot easier.

Re: Can someone explain Search engine optimization to me? - Search Engine Optimization (SEO) could be compared to a big popularity contest: A High School Computer Geek and a High School Football Captain who are trying to promote a party. The computer geek tells everyone in school & even hands out 100's of flyers about his party Friday night...what happens? his friends end up showing up and a few new people...even the new people leave right away because it is not what they are looking for. The High School Football Captain ends up just telling a few good buddies, and within hours the entire school not only knows about it, but everyone wants to come, and everyone does come & stay.
