Description

I was doing some Drupal.org related keyword research the other night and found that searching on Google for the keywords "drupal tutorials", neither
http://drupal.org/handbooks
OR
http://drupal.org/handbook/customization/tutorials
OR any other handbook page shows up in the first 100 results.

sepeck and add1sun suggested I sign up as a contributor, which I did just moments ago. My suggestion is to change the following:

on http://drupal.org/handbooks
change "Customization - Tutorials, Snippets and HowTo" to "Customization - Drupal Tutorials, Snippets and HowTo"

on http://drupal.org/handbook/customization
change "Tutorials" to "Drupal Tutorials"

on http://drupal.org/handbook/customization/tutorials
change the title to "Drupal Tutorials"

I know this "looks" redundant, being on Drupal.org to begin with - which is a good argument, but, users aren't going to care about that. Search engines will.

If those suggestions are frowned upon, at least use the words "Drupal Tutorials" somewhere in the body on
http://drupal.org/handbook/customization/tutorials

I have other related suggestions if anyone is interested.

Someone has made changes to the drupal.org page document structure and already getting serps on google.com. Whoever made the changes - Thanks!

http://www.google.com/search?q=drupal+tutorials

See how just on-page SEO makes a difference? I would like to see more work done in this direction, for Drupal's benefit :)

What ever are you talking about? The /handbooks page hasn't been changed recently.
