Continuing from the last post about the Accessible search article on IT Director - since it double posted, I might as well continue with a few more of my rambly thoughts…

For one thing, it seems that the results are further sorted by the simplicity of the site’s layouts, and their ability to still be understood without images. So I’m finding it a fun exercise to look at the results of mine and my client’s pages in regular Google versus the ones in the accessible version.

Neat.

It also got me to thinking things like, how much does the ease of spidering your information have an effect on where it stands in the search engines? Obviously if your site’s html or php code can’t be read/rendered properly, you don’t end up properly indexed, that’s just a matter of logic. But that’s not the most important factor either, or there wouldn’t be a need for the accessible search page at all.

And wouldn’t it be neat if you could build your own version of Google into your personalized search page that tweaks the algoritm to your preference? There’d be the standard version by default, and then a link you could click that would sort them by most recent, or more relevant to a saved search you have, or length of the page, or keyword density, or title…

Alright, end ramble. I may have another post or two then I have some reports to top off.
