SEO Mentor

So I was fishing through Sphinn.com a great SEO news site that is much like Digg.com. Anyways I found this great article about optimizing PDF files for the search engines. Here are a couple things that I learned from the article.

• Make sure you create text-based PDFs
• Specify document properties for the PDF
• Optimize PDF copy
• Keep the content of the PDF focused
• Specify the reading order
• Influence meta descriptions
• Tag your PDFs
• Build links into PDFs
• Save the PDF as an accessible version
• Optimize the file size for search
• Enable your PDFs for fast web view
• Use keyword-rich anchor text to link to PDFs

The article by Galen De Young of http://www.francis-marketing.com gives much more detail to these points above at his Optimizing PDF Files article, but these points that I have listed above are crucial to the Search Engine Optimization of your webpages.
