Daft Punk SEO
Work it harder
Make it better
Do it faster

What are we
talking about?
A million URLs isn’t cool,
you know what’s cool?

Daft Punk SEO
Big sites might
seem scary
The right approach
Not as shiny
Daft Punk SEO
“If you can’t
measure it, you
can’t manage it.”
- Peter Drucker
“If you can’t
measure it, you
can’t improve it.”
- Lord Kelvin

Crawl Optimization
The crawl team
is stingy
Zero tolerance
for 500s
404s are junk food
bit.ly/internal404s
Tracking Crawl by
Status Code
You are what Googlebot eats
bit.ly/crawloptimization
Tracking Crawl by
Page Type
Page type makes
a difference
Log file analysis
bit.ly/ultimatelogfileguide
bit.ly/completelogfileguide
Sometimes Google
crawls the wrong way
Use robots.txt
generously
This tool is
awesome
Avoid inefficient
crawling
Parameters are the
devil incarnate
Daft Punk SEO
Daft Punk SEO
What about
rel=canonical?
Can Google get to those pages
without the parameter?
Speed matters

Index Optimization
XML sitemaps
Indexation rate
Indexation Trend
50,000 URLs per sitemap, 50,000 sitemaps per sitemap
index means 2,500,000,000 potential URLs
Optimize your sitemaps
bit.ly/sitemapoptimization
bit.ly/sitemapoptimization
Indexation rates
provide insight
Crawl organization
should mirror sitemap
organization
Rank Indices
Why aren’t we
ranking for
[specific term]?
Daft Punk SEO
It’s not about
any one term
Rank Indices

Create rank
indices that will
materially impact
the business
Roll your own or use
a third-party tool
Track traffic by page
and query class using
Advanced Segments
Up and to the right
“And now for something completely different.”
Titles
“I’m kind of a big deal.
People read me.”
You can’t hand optimize
titles for millions of pages
Smart
templates
Max Title Length = 70 Characters
Title Template = [Doctor Name] – [Specialist] in [City] – [Site Name]
Dr. Sam Jones – Oncologist in Palo Alto – Docs.com LEN=50
Dr. Valentine Michael Smith – Anesthesiologist in Truth or
Consequences – Docs.com
LEN=82
Dr. Valentine Michael Smith – Anesthesiologist – Docs.com LEN=58
Dr. Supercalifragilistic Expialidocious Jr. – Anesthesiologist in
Truth or Consequences – Docs.com
LEN=98

LEN=73

Our keywords
are back
Search Console API
Rules for using
search console
queries in titles
Must have > 100 clicks in last 30 days
Top query must be > 30% of total clicks
Top query must be > 25% more than next query
[Top Query] : [Normal Title Tag]
[Normal Title Tag] | [Top Query]
[Top Query] – [Site Name]
Works really well on
eCommerce product titles
Crosslinks
Don’t create crawl traffic jams
Nearly every page should have
horizontal crosslinks
Vertical crosslinks are
invaluable for SEO and UX
A frustrating report but
valuable on a monthly basis
TL;DL
Measure crawl, index and rank
by query class and page type

Make dynamic template
changes and monitor your
dashboards

Rinse and repeat
