According to a poll webdesignerwall.com conducted, just over 1 out of 10 people don’t think SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is mandatory as a designer; and what really surprised me is about 24% don’t even know what SEO is! If you’re among the quarter of people who don’t know what SEO is or understand how it can help you, you should really read this article. This is an SEO guide for designers who want to learn about making it easier for websites or blogs to be found by search engines. I’ll explain the common mistakes made by designers and developers. Then I’ll provide some basic tips that you should be practicing to optimize your site for search engines.

This is a good post and a timely topic. Well, I guess the topic has been timely for a very long time. Web dev/design folks not being tasked to understand or aware of the search engines as an audience for their work (besides people) has kept a whole industry of SEOs busy for 10+ years.

Excellent post and something to save for the next time I deal with a designer whom there might be a chance they don't understand SEO.
