- Categorization
- Good landing pages, especially for key topics.
- One model of landing page which doesn't require constant updating is that used at Portal:Appropriate technology on Appropedia.
- A given topic should have one good landing page - if there are separate pages (subpages, alternative approaches...) they can be linked from there.
- Relevant links from sites that carry a lot of weight for search engine ranking:
- Especially .gov and .edu sites.
- Wikipedia - but only if in the form [[OLPC:Pagename]], as interwiki links don't suffer from the "rel=nofollow" tag. Important: Only add to Wikipedia articles when it's of value and relevance to the Wikipedia article.
- Other sites that rank highly.
