I see Michael Arrington has a post on TechCrunch today about Dipsie dCloak – this is a product which is supposed to help websites make their content more indexable by search engines.
That sounds laudable enough I hear you say – but wait a minute, I know two words which can help you do that without the aid of any product – the words? Web Standards. Build a site which is web standards compliant and search engines will have no problems indexing your site – also, you site will load faster, will be cross browser compatible and will work predictably on most mobile browsers!
Don’t know if your site is web standards compliant – check it out using the free validator on the W3C site.

Excellent Fintan,
that’ll teach me to be pontificating, won’t it?
Thanks for pointing that out – those errors are now fixed,
Cheers,
Tom
