SEO features

Goes to the core

The JDD has been designed from the ground up to produce search-engine-friendly websites.

 

Appreciated by search engines

For a website to be easily indexed by a search engine the JDD does the following:

  • W3C compliant XHTML code

The code that defines the type of page, i.e. the graphical underlay plus the content common to pages of a given type, is a combination of W3C compliant XHTML and CSS.  The content created by the page authors using the WYSIWYG editor also yields compliant XHTML.

  • site maps

Site maps are automatically produced by the JDD ensuring that all pages on the website are easily indexed.  When a new page is added or a page is deleted the site map automatically updates.  The JDD also fully supports the Sitemap Protocol recognised by Google and Yahoo!

  • friendly URLs

The page addresses (URLs) generated by the JDD are always well-structured, meaningful and easy to read.

  • aliases and 310 redirections

If you've created an alias at the DNS for, say, www.example.com and example.com, to avoid being penalised for duplicate content, you also need to specify a 301 redirect at the site level.  The JDD supports this.

  • no broken links

Search engines do not like broken links and penalise your site's rankings.  The JDD creates valid internal links automatically and also provides a link checker to check any manually created links.

  • well-organised code

By using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and not having JavaScript mingling in with the HTML, the pages are easy to understand by search engines.

  • navigation using text

Graphical or Flash menu items are not ideal as links.  Simple text links are preferred by search engines and are used by the JDD.

  • breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs (e.g. Home > Products > Benefits ) provide a simple way for search engines to follow meaningful keywords from page to page.

  • use of <h1> tags for titles, <h2> for subtitles
  • meta tag information provided for each page
Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional Valid CSS!
