Search Engine Optimisation – B is for Browser

Your visitors use all different sorts of browsers and all ages of browsers to view your website – some you wont even have heard of. By far the most popular ones are Safari (Apple Mac world), Firefox (we don’t like IE) and Internet Explorer (it came with the PC).

Make sure your website displays correctly in each and also bear in mind subtle SEO differences. Search Engine Optimisation uses elements like the “title” tag and “alt” tag associated with Images to explain what the image or web page is all about. But in IE you can get away by just using the “alt” tag so be careful not to get into lazy habits because you use one browser more than most.
