Episode 10 - Studies in Search Engine Optimization And Why Developers Should Care (Part 1 of 2)

Most developers are aware of the term “Search Engine Optimization”, and like me, have a vague understanding of what it actually means. For a long time I thought that this was more about the content of a website than how that site was created or built. In other words, I saw it as an issue for the folks over in the marketing or sales organizations, certainly not for us engineers to worry about.

It turns out that the design and architecture of the technologies implementing a website have a large impact in it’s discoverability. I didn’t understand this until about a year or two ago when I needed to perform some optimizations for tryexceptpass.

I met up with Michael Kennedy from the Talk Python To Me podcast, and together we recorded our musings about SEO and present them to you in this two-part series.
