------------------------ |
|
2. Start with the top item "Check for already installed modules." This will look for modules that are on the checklist that you have already installed on your site. |

**Optional: Volacci spent about 100 hours in research and development on this module. We want to maintain it and keep good SEO advice available to the entire Drupal community. Instead of asking for donations or bounties for this module, we request that you include a simple link back to us somewhere on your website. When you're done (or before) go down to "Link to Volacci" and check it off. That will automatically add a link on your website's footer to Volacci. If you want to link to us but not in the footer, uncheck that box and put your link where you want it. Thanks for the link! If you will email us and tell us where the link is then we'll link back to you: seochecklist [at]volacci.com. (Links help move your site up in the search engines.) |

The SEO Checklist module provides a list of good SEO actions that you should |
| 16 |
|
take to maximize the presence of your website in the major search engines. It |
| 17 |
|
provides little functionality itself but rather it helps you keep track of what |
| 18 |
|
needs to be done and what has been completed already. |

|
Search Engines Drive 90% of the traffic on the web. The more "findable" you are, |
| 21 |
|
the easier it is for you to get customers. This module helps you with on-page |
| 22 |
|
SEO - a necessary component of a good online marketing campaign. |

UPGRADING FROM 1.x |
| 26 |
|
------------------ |
| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
|
If you are upgrading from the previous SEO Checklist 1.x versions, you will |
| 29 |
|
need to follow a couple important steps: |
| 30 |
|
|
| 31 |
|
1. Make sure you remove the entire SEO Checklist module's folder before copying |
| 32 |
|
in the new files. |
| 33 |
|
2. Execute the following SQL in your site's database, making sure to prefix |
| 34 |
|
the 'system' table name if your site uses a table prefix: |
| 35 |
|
UPDATE system SET name = 'seochecklist', filename = REPLACE(filename, 'SEOChecklist', 'seochecklist'), status = 1 WHERE type = 'module' AND name = 'SEOChecklist' |
| 36 |
|
|
| 37 |
|
3. Make sure you run update.php immediately afterwards. |

INSTALLATION AND USAGE |
| 41 |
|
---------------------- |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
See http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install-contrib for instructions on |
| 44 |
|
how to install or update Drupal modules. |
| 45 |
|
|
| 46 |
|
Summary: |
| 47 |
|
1. Download and extract the module package into your sites/all/modules directory. |
| 48 |
|
2. Go to admin/build/modules and enable the "SEO Checklist" module which should |
| 49 |
|
be in the 'Other' category. |
| 50 |
|
3. To start using the SEO Checklist, go to admin/settings/seochecklist. The |
| 51 |
|
module should automatically check if you have already installed any of the |
| 52 |
|
modules required for a task. |
| 53 |
|
4. Start checking off some tasks! |
| 54 |
|
|
| 55 |
|
Optional: |
| 56 |
|
- Install the Vertical Tabs module (http://drupal.org/project/vertical_tabs) to |
| 57 |
|
help improve your SEO Checklist interface. It helps collapse the interface |
| 58 |
|
into vertical tabs instead of one huge long list of fieldsets. This module |
| 59 |
|
also works on the add or edit content forms, which is helpful for your site's |
| 60 |
|
content creators and editors! |
