Excellent article by Jill Whalen on Why Usability and SEO Go Hand-in-Hand. Usability can make or break a web site. With hard economic times upon us, improving a site’s usability makes more sense than ever before.

Great article Jill! Not only do Usability and SEO go together, but it’s ethically correct.

"Search engines aren’t looking for the pages with the most keyword density or the most toolbar PageRank or the most anything else. Search engines are looking for the best, most relevant pages that most meet the user’s search query."Great article Jill!  Thank you :)

Thanks, Kim! And Christine for sphinning the article.It always floors me when people think that usability and SEO are somehow at odds. Actually, it makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

I’d like to thank you Jill for the useful advice on usabilty and SEO.  Especially the benchmar usability.gov provided helpful insight.  I always agreed that we do not make websites for search engines.  Making it easy and friendly for the users, you’ll get the SEs "like" you.
