    Hi,

    We've been planning a redesign of our site for the past few weeks now. I've tried to get some PHP programmers, but I recently decided to take a class on ASP.NET, so we're leaning more towards that platform. I just wanted to see if anyone can give me any advice on optimizing .aspx pages for search. I've read about viewstate, postback and keeping parameters to a minimum, but I thought that some of you might have more pointers.

    Thanks

    Generally there arent special considerations for asp.net from an SEO point of view which are any different from any other serverside language. Most of the aspects come more into a usability/ speed of pages loading.

    Once consideration is that a fair number of controls use tables (and nested tables) which isnt the best but these can easily be changed either by using different controls or editing the templates of the controls.

    If you have a product-based like site, you might want to consider writing an HttpModule to create user friendly URLS :)

    have you considered using master pages this will give you a constant look in every page like a header or footer

    Hi,

    we've done our site using asp. Take a look: I am An Artist (dot com)

    we've got a contant look and feel across all our pages. We've recently started ranking pretty good with SEO. Still it's tough but do-able.

    Excellent idea here. I've used this on a couple sites... pretty slick.
