My Troubles With Wordpress Subjects

SEnuke: Ready for action

Everything started in the late 90's. I wanted to place some information o-n my website. A journal. A summary of future events. I started with basic HTML. One-page, with sections for each and every post. Simple.

Then I found out about 'sites' and 'blogging.' Being smart, I picked Word-press, the most popular application. How smart, I thought. If you get the WYSIWYG editor going, anyone could set up a web site. Very democratic.

This inspired my to post my outermost thoughts; o-n London, politics, and personal gripes. Being a web-master, I watched to determine Google index them. 'Here we go', I thought, 'quickly, my jewels of extrospection will belong to the ages.'

Except Google did not like my website. It would not index much beyond the leading page. Navigating To linklicious alternative perhaps provides tips you should tell your brother. Why, why, why?

Replicate information? I set it to put only 1 post per-page.

No improvement.

I looked at what Google was indexing. Then I checked out the HTML. Soon, all became clear.

In sum:

- Word-press was however duplicating my information, and

- It'd no suitable META-TAGS, and

- There was a lot irrelevant HTML, and

- The layout obscured the information.

I had a fast search o-n Google to find search engine marketing recommendations. There is a plug-in 'head META information' ( http://guff.szub.net/plugins/ ). But I did not use that, oh no.

For some reason, I got the notion that a complete design would be the ticket. I tried modifying an existing one myself. Better, but not great. Going To linklicious vs likely provides suggestions you should use with your pastor. Google was needs to list more pages, but they all had exactly the same title. My missives to an uncaring world were being overlooked.

So I got someone else to do one, based on my conditions, which were:

- Grab a META 'title' from your blog post 'title';

- Grab a META 'information' from the weblog 'excerpts';

- Put a ROBOTS 'noindex' draw in non-content pages.

But that was not enough. For best SEO results you must configure Word-press cruelly. You've to be _mean_ to it. You've to _man_ enough.

I did so a little of research and created to following methods.

WARNING: They're severe. If you curently have great ranks, making significant changes to your URLs may influence them. Identify further on this affiliated article directory by clicking linklicious review. In my case:

- Moving my weblog http://www.ttblog.co.uk to the root web directory,

- MOD_REWRITING its URLs, and

- Removing a 30-1 redirect,

... caused my PageRank to visit 0. BUT, site indexing was untouched.

This was temporary, as Google saw it as 'suspect' behaviour. My site had been radically changed by me.

Here are the tips, for true _men_, who can try the face area of internet death and laugh:

1. Stimulate permalinks by visiting 'Options/Permalinks.' You might have to enable Apache MOD_REWRITE in your web consideration.

1a. Reduce the permalinks code to just the %postname% variable. Do not bother with the time codes. This keeps your URLs short.

2. To explore additional info, we know people check out: linklicious.org. Position your blog within the index possible. http://www.ttblog.co.uk is preferable to http://www.ttblog.co.uk/wordpress/

So a normal article would appear to be

http://www.ttblog.co.uk/Im-hard-as-nails-me/

In the place of

http://www.ttblog.co.uk/wordpress/2006/08/03/Im-hard-as-nails-me/

3. Then install an SEO'd theme.

My websites are increasingly being found beautifully. The Google 'site:' command returns all my threads, and little else.

For my next problem, I take on Windows XP, and turn it into an os..
