For those that run Web sites, search engine optimization (SEO) is the one of the hot trends of the year (along with Web 2.0 – but that’s another post for another day). Well, what if Google had to redesign its own simple home page to make it more optimized for search engines? This site spells it out beautifully. How ironic, eh? Google gets credit for its minimalist front page design yet its own search engine rules make it so most sites have to be so cluttered, they’re unreadable to humans.
