- DESCRIPTION AND BENEFITS
- ------------------------
- The SEO Checklist module provides a list of good SEO actions that you should
- take to maximize the presence of your website in the major search engines. It
- provides little functionality itself but rather it helps you keep track of what
- needs to be done and what has been completed already.
- Search Engines Drive 90% of the traffic on the web. The more "findable" you are,
- the easier it is for you to get customers. This module helps you with on-page
- SEO - a necessary component of a good online marketing campaign.
- INSTALLATION AND USAGE
- ----------------------
- SEO Checklist is installed in the usual way. See
- http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7. To start using
- the module, go to admin/settings/seo-checklist. It will pre-check any completed
- items it is able to auto detect. Start working through the rest, and click
- "Save" to save your progress!
- UPGRADING FROM 3.x
- ------------------
- IMPORTANT: As with any other irreversible change, you should backup your
- database before attempting to upgrade the SEO Checklist!
- With the 4.x branch the module machine name was changed to match the Drupal.org
- project name, so Drupal won't recognize it as the same module anymore. You'll
- need to re-enable it from the Modules page (admin/modules). When installed, it
- will remove the residue of the old module name itself.
- Additionally, the module now depends on the Checklist API
- (http://drupal.org/project/checklistapi), which you'll need to install before
- you can enable the new version.
- Your saved progress from the 3.x version of the module will be preserved when
- you update.
- MORE INFORMATION
- ----------------

- Optimization book by Ben Finklea. For more information and to purchase, go to
- http://www.drupalseobook.com/.
- - To submit any bug reports or feature-or-support requests, see the module issue
- queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/seo_checklist.
- - This module is potentially controversial as many people have ideas about good
- and bad SEO. If you have an idea of a module or task that should be included,
- please file an issue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/seo_checklist.
- - Volacci spent numerous hours in research and development on this module. We
- want to maintain it and keep good SEO advice available to the entire
- community. Instead of asking for donations or bounties for this module, we
- request that you include a simple link back to us somewhere on your website.
- When you're done (or before) go down to the "Link to Volacci" task and check
- it! That will automatically add a link to Volacci in your website's footer.
- If you want to link to us but not in your footer, uncheck the box and put
- the link to http://www.volacci.com/ wherever you want to. Thanks for the link!
- If you e-mail us (seochecklist [at] volacci.com) and tell us where your link
- is, we'll link back to you! As you may know, links help move your site up in
- the search engines. (See http://www.volacci.com/why-links-help-seo.)
- - Enjoy using the module!
