ASP.NET and SEO

[Guest]

Are there specific steps to optimizing and ASP.NET site versus other
technologies? I have heard a lot of differing views and would like to obtain
some concrete data. I have Googled Search Engine Optimization ASPNET and
mostly just get general info. It seems there are some spcial ways of dealing
with ASPNET but no one seems to know what they are.

Hi ,
i think the first one you have to care about it is using 3tier application
structure . Clearly identify the classes you are going to use.
Other optimizing are low level [mean in C#], like if you dont need viewstate
, don use it ...
Also , if you are using sql server , use stored procedures instead of
dinamic queries, use indexes.

Please review the 2/3 post "Optimal Use of Default.aspx?" as my use of files
that load by default (default.aspx) to perform utility functions (determine
if cookies and Javascript is enabled and then redirect) can result in SEO
penalty and banning -- or so it is said -- and I would really like to
determine a strategy that allows us to do client-side utility detection and
redirection that is SEO compliant. Your comments please...

the main issue with asp.net pages, over others, is the heavy use of
javascript for postbacks. for example, most seach engines will not crawl
<asp:linkbutton>, because they are not true anchors, but javascript
postbacks. also asp.net's viewstate can cause problems if a SE tries to
postback (submit).

if you use many postback controls, you should detect a search engine crawl
(check header), and output pages with only anchors.

Good point Bruce. Thank you.
That determination would apply to any control that uses __doPostBack (an
inventory of which controls is needed).
Do you know of any resources where others have documented their discoveries?
