What’s wrong with the web
anyway?
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
What does it mean?!
Without advanced analysis,
it’s hard to understand what pages and sites are about.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
How we used to convey meaning…
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Okay …we’re not
that bad
anymore.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Semantic markup changes everything.
It’s our mechanism for creating meaningful data!

Data pulled from semantic markup is
everywhere!
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
What do you mean by “data”?
Objects
Properties
Relationships

From Documents to Data
Documents (i.e. web pages)
can only be read.
Data can be used in any way
you can imagine.
The data from a document can be
disassembled, rearranged, & reassembled.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
When combined,
data can be more interesting
than the individual pieces themselves.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Shared vocabularies make semantic
markup meaningful.

What is Semantic SEO?
Providing open, structured data
in order to increase search visibility by
helping connect users with information
that they want and need.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
“I don’t want to lose traffic!”
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
You could lose traffic!
Yet providing open data
earns your site greater trust.
A trustworthy resource is
worthy of being promoted!
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Let’s fast forward
“Webmasters can improve the rank of their sites
by creating high-quality sites
that users will want to use and share.”
- Google, 2013

Semantic SEO is the new frontier
It allows for more effective organization of the web.
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Delivering more comprehensive
& relevant information
@mike_arnesen #SMX #21C
Make your site a resource
Linked data is a vital building block of the semantic web.
Could it be that sites providing a wealth of data
will receive the same credit
as the sites who are frequently linked to?
The more your data is referenced, the more credible your resource becomes.
