I am getting ready to do a complete overhaul to my site.
Did a sitemap generator that created a text file of all my urls and titles. I used that to put in a spreadsheet to reorder them alphabetically like they are in Dreamweaver.
But the len() function is brilliant!!! I started to put them in word to do the count but this will be way faster!

Now I wish that there was a way to call the data for meta tags on the individual pages from ONE source rather then having to go into 50+ pages.

Excellent tip about the Len() function although I only tend to use spreadsheets for larger projects.

I like the idea of using the Len() function for monitoring text length. Simple and effective, Nice!

I think meta keywords should still be used because at the very least they can serve as a quick reference for what keywords are being targeted and their importance.

Great post – I talked about using this technique to optimize small business websites at SES Chicago in December.

I also recommend adding a column for “Last Edited” so you can keep track of when you made changes. I’ve seen tags get overwritten every two weeks on a larger site because the SEO couldnt remember when they’d last touched that particular page.

Great article~

Great post, and thank you for sharing it. I am thinking of doing this to my website. I am wondering if there is any tool out there, which can extract all the pertinent information from the existing site to excel?
