Adobe "Muse" on SEO?

[Raydon]

Anyone ever had any experience with this tool?

Any feedback on how adobe muse does with SEO and markup is appreciated!

update 1: Really? nobody has any comment on this?

Hey Omid,

I've taken a good look through various websites built with Adobe Muse. These were ones featured in "Site of the Day" on the Adobe website, and so I imagine are considered the best of the best.

I'm not impressed by the quality of the code. Perhaps the most worrying thing for me is that things that are clearly semantically headers are being rendered in

tags.

Additionally there doesn't seem to be any alt text applied to any images on sites I've found running Muse.

They also seem to rely on a large number of HTTP requests and many resource seem to be poorly compressed.

Without knowing too much about the tool, everything I mentioned could be down to individual designers - but the trend is there.

I wouldn't rank their markup too highly, and there's some pretty unoptimised elements on those sites. I think that if your site does well on SERPs with those sites it's probably in spite of your markup.
