Tables and SEO

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

An often overlooked place to add great content is right in your table: the summary attribute. The purpose of this attribute is to add accessibility to the table. A synopsis of what the table represents provides braille and other readers an audio summary. A side effect of this is to provide search engines with a nice piece of information about the table. Don’t forget the summary attribute when filling in your next table.

Usage


<table summary="this table is about blah">
