I have compiled 11 SEO checklist for Drupal site to make your Drupal website SEO friendly. Mostly, I am using these tips for my Drupal based classified site which I manage. I have observed improvement in traffic after applying these techniques. You are invited to suggest more tips if you think can be useful for me or other audience.

SEO Checlist is as follows -

1. Lets start with Content. Content is king. So make sure you are going to have quality content for your web page.

2. Make your Page Title search engine friendly and must content keyword used in the page.

3. Optimize each page for one or two keywords at max.

4. Upper left corner content is important so make sure you have good part of the content on the upper left corner.

5. Content page of the theme should come before anything else in your html (i.e. all sidebars, headers, toolbar etc. should come after content)

6. Try to add a link to your site in every post, if possible.

7. Meta description is important so don't forget to write good Meta description.

8. Add one H1 element to home page

  1. I will surely make use of these tips when I have an SEO project for a Drupal based website. There are a couple of things you forgot to mention though. First, interlinking relevant pages within your website is also good for SEO. Crawability has been an issue for many websites online, and one of the effective remedies is to interlink deep pages so to allow bots maximum reach within your website. 2. Use of descriptive anchor texts when interlinking deep pages. Each link that goes into a page boosts its reputation so ensure that authority is counted towards the deep pages' most appropriate keywords.

  3. Above suggested Checklist is very much helpful as a Top SEO Companies point of view, but the third point you mentioned is impressive enough because most of the people wants to rank their webpage for more than 1 keyword, and because of this the content of the webpage becomes keyword specific and looks spammed. So this is very necessary to use only 1 or 2 keywords in the webpage content which looks natural.
