ChriswaterguySearch engine optimization strategies for the OLPC wiki:
- Improve linking between pages. This helps the most suitable page to rank most highly for a given search.
- The work that Appropedia is doing on a wikilink bot<ref> The wikilink bot page, describing the use of replace.py, will be created soon - or contact Chriswaterguy for info or to help out. </ref> will be of relevance here.
- 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.
