Web Designer vs. SEO

[harryd]

Does anyone know of any discussions or tutorials about how to optimize Web Designer sites in terms of SEO?

I wrote an article on optimizing for page speed which in turn helps seo, see:-

As far as optimizing content is concerned, most general advice about seo in general should apply to xara aswell.
I always advise my clients not try using 'tricks' as search engines are evolving to be more human-like, so make sure your optimizations make sense to humans!

I'm especially concerned about whether Google, etc. will find page links that exist on popups and on different layers

A bot doesn't see the page as we do; it looks for HTML constructs so if your page has a link, it will know about it.

Is a popup on the same page as the main page, or is a popup a separate page. If it is a separate page, how does Google find it?

Google will scan the webpage source code and any links on popups should be present in this source code. So it should find the links and index the pages you are linking to. Just be wary that visible links/content could carry more weight than hidden links/content on a popup for example. So to be safe it's a good idea to have some visible links to your pages somewhere as well, maybe in the footer or on another page content or another website. Don't just rely on a hidden popup link for SEO.
