Regardless of whether the site is a blog, a portfolio site, a corporate site, or an e-commerce site, it exists to communicate with visitors. The communication in some cases is two ways (blog comments are an example), but in many ways the website is communicating to visitors before they even offer their feedback.

In fact, I'm going to make items 1 through 3 required reading for the bloggers on my website. I would add to what you've said about FAQs: These truly should be questions from real people, and they should be so frequently asked that it makes sense to give people answers right away. Too often, an FAQ page becomes an unending list of questions following someone's rambling presentation of the site's content. Organize your FAQs by topic. Add subheads to show that organization. And make the answers short. In other words, give the take-home answer on your FAQ page and link to the corresponding content elsewhere on your site for the full details. If you do that, your FAQ page will not only serve your customers better; it will also improve your site's ranking with search engines. Great list!

Excellent list. Thank you for posting this. Also, I would like to add that it is now becoming more important to fully validate your html and xhtml web site pages. Why? Because having fully validated html and/or xhtml pages is now becoming even more significant with Google's recent embrace of html 5. And if any of your site's pages or not fully valid, then they could generate parsing errors and the bots will skip that page altogether, leaving your new page out of the index. We have tested this and, believe me full page and full site html/xhtml validation is very important these days. Thank you again for your above post. WOW! Excellent list. Thank you for posting this.
