SEO Friendly Pop-Up Windows
I’ve seen plenty of sites out there who are still using javascript:openWindow(); to open up a smaller pop-up window. Though the method works very effectively, it makes the spiders unable to crawl the content of that pop-up window. Spiders aren’t able to follow JavaScript links so your pop-up window content won’t make it to the search engines’ indexes at all.
Spruce up your 404 page
404 pages are probably the number 1 reason why people are leaving your site. Sometimes your users are reaching 404 pages because you have a bad link that needs fixing on your site and other times, it’s from old search engine caches. You should be glad that people are clicking on your pages from search engines, it means that the content you have/had interested them. If that is the case, you should offer them a reason to stay on your site instead of hitting back and go to a competitor’s site.
