Search Engine Optimization Cool Trick | Part 1

by 0
Locating bits and pieces of code in a web template, whether you do it using a WYSWYG editor or looking through your browser’s source code viewer, can sometimes be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Especially when: 1. you are pressured for time, 2. you didn’t do the original coding yourself, and 3. the page you’re looking at is made up of a thousand lines and up. As you may know, long lines of code where a hard ENTER from the keyboard can’t be done, is represented by just one line number in WYSWYG no matter how many lines you think there is that you see. That’s how it’s still difficult to find details that JavaScript error notifications tell you sometimes. So finding what you’re looking for can be more time consuming than the actual phase of modifying the target code.I am going to share with you today a cool trick which I only found about yesterday as I was doing search engine optimization work with a bunch of webpages. I bet you already know how to locate words within any Windows document. You know, just go to Edit, click Find, and then a horizontal bar or a small window comes up somewhere depending on what browser your using. Type any word into the small white rectangular box and the computer will find that word for you faster than if you would manually scroll down.

Well here’s the cool trick I was talking about and keep in mind that I’m sharing this specifically for application from a search engine optimization stand point. (I don’t think any other kind of working with documents will ever need this trick). Because unlike regular handling of documents, SEO can mean working on about twenty to more than a hundred pages.

To save time, when you are confronted with a very long unbroken line of code, and you need to make sure if that very long line of code is the exact same long line of code that is embedded in the other 20 or so pages that you’re gonna be working on, this will help a lot.

I was using a Firefox 3.0 browser when I discovered the key feature that’s important for this method to work. Even Internet Explorer 8 cannot be effective with this. And I’m not sure if you can achieve the same with older versions of Firefox, ‘coz like I said, I just discovered this yesterday.

Here it is:

  1. Open your subject page in Firefox 3.0
  2. Right click and select ‘View Page Source’.
  3. Highlight and Copy that very long line of code (mine was as long as a paragraph).
  4. Open the other web page that needs to be verified on a new window or tab then view its source code.
  5. Initiate the Find function and Paste that very long line of code into the small white rectangular box. Believe me it will all be allowed to fit in there and will be found as is, and that’s the key to this whole trick.
  6. Press ENTER.
  7. If the code on the second page becomes highlighted in green, you have a match! Now you know you won’t have to copy and paste the same very long line of code on that page and the rest of the other pages anymore!

That’s it. A simple and easy trick. I hope you’ll find this search engine optimization trick useful. Enjoy!
