In these few weeks I keep reading articles on search engine optimization (SEO) and the development of the Internet (mostly Google related, but Google’s is a big part of the Internet right?). More I read SEO, more I realize the similarities between web 3.0 and the concept of SEO.
One of the proposed key concept of web 3.0 is machines will understand our web contents, or let say our contents will be formatted to be understood by machines. Nowadays there is a technology “semantic web” that introduces similar ideas. The idea is like improving usability of our web contents, not only to humans but to machines too. And that is what we are doing for SEO propose: one of the reasons we use div and CSS instead of table to build navigation menus, is to make sure Google understand which is menu and which is content.
Maybe this will become one more reason why we should learn SEO.
