[IxDA Discuss] seo and usability

[AJKock]

"Where in particular do you find SEO at odds with good UX?"

SEO prefers descriptive links, which leads to some people creating
long phrases which they link.
Usability: I find them less readable and distracting when reading.
They are also loaded with keywords which are vague, but descriptive of
the content you are going to, but never spesific.

Example:
Linking to an article on "hamburgers" by using "succulent beef being
sacrificed on rolls with green and red salad"

The problem is that those keywords could have linked to many other
things like steakrolls, sandwiches, etc.
