SEO Tips & Tricks: They Don’t Want You to Know About

Websites

Inclusively covers the art and science of creating and developing websites, whether it be about SEO, Publishing a Webpage, WordPress, or whatever.



Robots Gone Wild

The robots exclusion protocol is an informal agreement among search engines. While rather ineffective at keeping information private it has become an effective tool for keeping duplicate content from being indexed ever since Google’s wildcard extensions have been in effect.





Securing Your Blog 101

While security experts will bore you with their discussion of username enumeration vulnerabilities in Wordpress, there is actually very little that one can do in this area beyond installing some good plugins.





Simple Tags - A Comedy of Errors

This is a tale of two Wordpress plugins with the same identical names. Which will be wasting bloggers’s time over this total nonsense for years to come, thanks to their developers.





Simple Wordpress Security Fix

Hackers have bots crawling the Web looking for blogs running specific versions of Wordpress. But apparently, Wordpress is more interested in claiming credit for creating your blog, then they are in protecting bloggers from this well known security issue.





Source Code Snippets

Take Control by Managing Your Content

Never assume that any of Google’s computer algorithms will automatically make the correct decisions for you. Never assume that if you make all the correct decisions, that Google and your installed version of WordPress will actually do what you want done, all of the time.





Target Your Page’s Main Keyword for Success

Google favors keyword density over keyword repetition. So, there is never a need to write really big pages where a keyword is repeated hundreds of different times.





Technorati has become Google Junior

Technorati has their own version of Google’s Supplemental Index, otherwise known as their blog index where no one will ever see your posts. Before Technorati will list your posts in their General Tag Index, making them visible in Google, a lot of linking building is required.





Technorati Milestone Achieved

John H. Gohde has observed that a few of his SEO blog posts have received a boost from a Technorati temporary feed link. Within a month or two, John thus has good reason to believe that his new posts should be receiving a more permanent boost in the SERPS from Technorati’s main Tag directory links.





Text is King - Eye Candy Doesn’t Impress Google

Fantastic! You are now running a modern eye candy site with all of the latest bells and whistles to entertain visitors to your website. But, is your site invisible to Google? Google is about as blind as any human can get. Maybe even more so, and can not see any of your javascript, flash, video, and / or animation features.
