  1. Google and Webmasters, a very interesting read: From Search Engine Optimization for Dummies, 2nd edition, by Peter Kent (p 340) Myth: Web designers and Developers understand Search Engines I am a geek. I’ve worked in software development for over 20 years; I still work closely with software developers (these days mostly Web-software developers); I build web sites for my clients (so I work with developers and designers on these sites); my friends are developers and designers … and I am telling you now that most developers and designers do NOT understand the search engines to any great degree. Most web-development companies these days tell their clients that they know how to handle the search engines, and even that they are experts. In most cases, that is simply not true, any more that it’s true that I am an expert in neurosurgery. This makes it very hard for business owners when they hire a web-development team, of course, though perhaps this book will help. It will give you an idea of the sorts of questions you should ask your developers to figure out if they really do understand search engine requirements.
