Search Engine Optimization

A well designed and useful website or application will naturally attract traffic and get good ranking in the search engines so it will be easily found, but it helps if your website is search engine friendly.

clearString makes creating websites that are optimized for search engines straightforward. All of the tools and settings that you need to set or adjust are easily accessible from the Behavior Editor or from the component configuration dialogs.

SEO in clearString

Behavior Editor controls

The Behavior Editor gives you direct access to HTML meta tags on a per component basis enabling you to tune your site to be as friendly to search engines as possible. As Google are so important in Seach Engine technology, clearString provides methods for easily creating XML Site Maps to Google's standards to optimize their crawling of your sites.

Pages and components inherently know about Google Analytics. clearString does not require you to use the code snippet provided by Google - it already knows that. Instead, you simply need the Google Analytics AccountID and clearString will do the rest.

DirectURL - manual

Search engine friendly and human friendly are most often the same. clearString makes it easy to set friendly Direct URLS for each page and component.

DirectURL - automatic

When you are working with webpages that are created from databases the Address bar URL will often be unfriendly to look at, for example:

http://www.example.com/70/?form_52.replyids=35&?form_27.replyids=15
where it would be much nicer if it displayed as:
http://www.example.com/Guy-Harvey/HE030-002A1

clearString makes it straightforward to generate 'friendly' addresses for what would otherwise be heavily parameterized URLs.
