I'm wondering if Google search is aware of tags such as <nav>, <aside>, <section>, etc. that are being added by HTML 5?
My navigation comes before my content and I have too many links in it for good SEO. I'd like to use <nav> if Google recognised it rather than using js or a css work around.
Thanks,
Denis

You can use HTML5 tags like even now, see Mads Kjaer article. Don't wait for google to be ready, use it now!
But until Google recognises those tags stick to following current SEO rules. Move your content to the beginning of the code and navigation to the end!

Probably nothing yet, since I don't believe any of those tags are implemented right now, and HTML5 is far from being a standard yet.

Has this now changed? Is it safe to add HTML5 to the start of the page and not impact SEO? Is google 'aware' of these tags?

My question is about is there any way to add keywords in the metadata of a Google site
(like <meta name="keywords" content=" keyword1 , keyword2 "/> )
Currently we are adding Alt text to every image in the site, with the keywords associated to each one.
Our objective is to manage one single list of keywords per all the G-Site, and get the best possible position in a Google search, based on these keywords.
If you are aiming for SEO you may try adding your keyword into your site title, slug, and meta as well, here is some link for you.
This is what you should notice.
Well if you website happened to be built by WordPress, I will recommend you to install SEO plugins like Yoast or AllinOneSEO.
Try Yoast guide here.
You may try dig out more Yoast blog as I found that it was quite detailed (for your focused keyword usage part) try this link and go for more.

Look, under page title there's a very nice link, including categories of the website.
I really do want that thing on my website. The problem is the syntax of my website:
Main page: index.php
Category: index.php?p=part&id=[ID]
Subcategory: index.php?p=cat&id=[ID]
Article: index.php?p=post&id=[ID]
What should I do? Changing syntax is no good for me, but I'm pretty sure I can do some magic with htaccess RewriteEngine, but it's not going to look much better.
Huge thanks in advance :)
Ooops, almost forgot. Can I have some kind of guide to a proper sitemap? I already searched for it myself, but every guide offers it's own way to make it, and I'm totally confused.
These breadcrumb links in the SERPS are not only from microdata, but are from the breadcrumb navigation links on the sites pages. (which can indeed be marked up with microdata, but do not have to be) Google will tend to use them if urls are very long in my experience.
More info here:

It's called microdata. You can find the officially supported microdata at schema.org. Keep in mind that using microdata does not guarantee your search results will be affected.

How much SEF have to be the URLs? [closed]

I'm really attracted to the webservice.js module. I'd like to use it as a real webserver, using only an HTML page with JS calling the webservice to retrieve the datas.
The problem I'm seeing is about the search engines, as I do wish my website to be search engine optimized.
So I thought I could be fallbacking to plain HTML when JS is not enabled (just going to the url, webservice.js sends back some datas in plain HTML). For this, the links will be displayed in the HTML markup on the frontpage.
The problem is about how much SEF have the URLs to be?
I mean, the webservice will allow me to have URLs of this kind : http://domain.com/content?get=title-uri-encoded.
Is it search-engine friendly? I know having http://domain.com/content/title-uri-encoded would be better, but is the kind I'm thinking of still friendly?
PS : I'm not sure whether this post belongs to SO or Programmers.se...
You probably want to look into progressive enhancement techniques or Google's proposed AJAX solution.
You may end up with a URL structure like this:
AJAX enabled public version
http://domain.com/content#!get=title-uri-encoded
Search Engine version (plain html)
http://domain.com/content?_escaped_fragment_=get=title-uri-encoded

The pagerank of My website is 3. But when I search sgyuan in Google, I didn't any summary of my website, and the Preview is not avaible also.
And google translate is not working also.
Anyone can help me ?
Make sure you are not using the meta nosnippet tag that prevents Google from displaying snippets and previews in search results.
Make you do not have this in your Html
<meta name="googlebot" content="nosnippet">
More info here.

Anyway, for some site could take some days for Google to create your preview, consider wait and use Google Web Master Tools.
Please also read this article in case you use AJAX for your site

If an HTML5 solution could be suitable for you, you can take a look to WebRTC (currently supported in Chrome, Firefox and Opera).
You can find a good tutorial here:
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/
The first hit on searching "webcam plugin": http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/
As it is using JavaScript it is easy to include in Rails.
Many others appear in the results ...
Another option is to use the Nimbb widget. There are a lot of tutorials showing how to embed it into a website.
