Schema - What is it?• In short – HTML Markup to help search
engines understand content• Instead of just <div> and <span>• You have “items” like “Product”, “reviews”
and a whole lot more

money!• Three stages to SERP

Schema - Break it down– The standard stuff
• WebPageElement– WPFooter– WPHeader– WPSideBar
– Your site focus• Halo 4 – Product or CreativeWork
– Match markup to templates• WordPress – single.php = /BlogPosting or /Article
![Page 8: The SEO Workshop (session 2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53eddbc08d7f7289708b5f05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Schema - Tips– Always have the “Full Hierarchy” open when
working - build a plan of implementation (http://schema.org/docs/full.html)
– Understand YOUR focus• eCommerce• Media• Blog

Schema - Tips• Create a table and match• Do not forget itemscope and itemscope of an
itemscope• Items not in the same <></> use meta tag
– Works now may not in the future

Schema - Avoid– Markup for item page on listing page– Multiple item pages on a page– Double calls of itemscope

On-Page Elements• Search engines spiders read books?• On-Page elements (sample)
– Title <title>– Headers (h1, h2, etc.)– Alt tag <img alt=“”>– File names
![Page 12: The SEO Workshop (session 2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53eddbc08d7f7289708b5f05/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
On-Page Elements - Control• Default vs. Manual Control• Bigger Question – Who responsible for the
website?• Why not have both?
![Page 13: The SEO Workshop (session 2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53eddbc08d7f7289708b5f05/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
On-Page Elements - Control• Example of default
– Buy [Product name] in [color/s] at [company Name]
– Shop [category] and find the cheapest products at [Company Name]
• Allow for Manual Override– Saved you the time to have to update the DB

Breadcrumbs and Internal Linking
• Set links vs. Sporadic links– Set link is a link within page structure that is
(almost) always there• Head menu link, footer link, side link
![Page 16: The SEO Workshop (session 2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53eddbc08d7f7289708b5f05/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Breadcrumbs and Internal Linking
– Sporadic (in-content) link• Link that appears within main content of page
Same link, but different value
![Page 17: The SEO Workshop (session 2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081412/53eddbc08d7f7289708b5f05/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Breadcrumbs and Internal Linking
• Some rules (but they can change)– First link to page counts more
• So target the correct Anchor text• Classic mistake – First link to Home Page usually
image or “home”– PageRank takes into account total number of
links– Quality vs. quantity of links within content
