What is the mean of "On Page SEO"? Is it related to mark-up , accessibility and semantics?
Edit:
Does "On Page SEO" requires input from XHTML Coder? Is it a job of developer?
A:
from link
On page SEO or search engine optimisation is making sure that your website is as search engine friendly as possible. If your website is not optimised then you have less chance of getting good results in the search engines

Never heard of it myself but according to this page
"On Page" SEO simply refers to the text and content on your web site pages. Basically editing your page and content so the Search Engine can find your webpage when a surfer is searching for your web sites particular topic.

A:
I will define (briefly) SEO, and then break it up into On-Page (a synonym for on-site) SEO and Off-Site SEO:
SEO
SEO is the practice of optimizing a website's search engine rankings (or appearance). For example you could perform SEO by doing things which boost your site's position in Google searches.
Off-Site SEO
Off-site SEO is where you perform actions completely off of your site that optimize your search engine rankings. For example if you have three sites A, B, and C, you can perform Off-Site SEO on A by linking to it from B and C.
On-Site (On-Page) SEO
This refers to SEO you perform for your site by only modifying things on your own site. For example:
- Meta Tags
- Providing an XML sitemap
- Ensuring that your internal links all work
- Removing excessive spam from your forums
Edit - To answer your question directly: You are performing on-page SEO if and only if you are performing a modification on your site that is optimizing your website for search engines.

@metal-gear-solid: Yes, they are exactly the same. For example, see this page http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/07/08/google-onsite-seo/ (a top result in google for `on page seo`). The url says onsite-seo, and the title says On-page Seo; they are interchangeable.

Yes. SEO on the site involves several different actions: * Improving page markup to display relevant page content in a clutter free manner * Making site content accessible (implying that site content should be easily and clearly accessible with JS and CSS disabled) * Flash content, JS enhanced content (like scrolling images, on page JS tabs) should have HTML fall-back * Images should have alternative text * Links on the site should be to legit content The exact actions for SEO are bit of a gray area by these are some simple and objective guidelines that you can follow.

I guess the main things you can do for Off-Site SEO are (1) to ensure that other related sites who might be interested in linking to you know about your site, and (2) buying links to your site in the form of advertisements. P.s. in the first sentence you mean synonym, not acronym.

You might be inclined to think that 'on-site seo' is different from 'on-page seo'. But on-page and on-site are referring to from the search engine's perspective, and the url structure is part of the page.

A:
the answers here are spot on
when i need to explain the difference to clients, i put it this way:
"on-page seo is what i can do as a programmer with the code of your website to make it rank well on google. off-page seo is more about you getting your website name-dropped on other websites"
of course, that is a very basic explanation designed for non-tech savvy people, but its a start
