Everything began in the late 90's. I desired to place some information o-n my web site. A journal. A list of future events. I began with simple HTML. One page, with parts for each post. Simple. Then I learned about 'websites' and 'blogging.' Being intelligent, I picked Wordpress, the most popular computer software. How clever, I thought. If you obtain the WYSIWYG editor going, anyone can set up a website. Very democratic. This encouraged my to create my outermost thoughts; on personal gripes, London, and politics. Being a webmaster, I watched to determine Google index them. For alternative viewpoints, consider checking out http://www.surfline.com/company/bios/index.cfm. 'Here we go', I thought, 'soon, my gems of extrospection will belong to the ages.' Except Google did not like my weblog. It would maybe not index much beyond the front page. Why, why, why? Repeat content? I set it to place just one post per-page. No improvement. I checked out what Google was indexing. Then I looked at the HTML. Shortly, all became clear. In sum - Word-press was still duplicating my material, and - It had no proper META tags, and - There was a whole lot irrelevant HTML, and - the content was obscured by The layout. I had a fast search on Google to locate search engine marketing tips. There is a plug-in 'head-meta explanation' ( http://guff.szub.net/plugins/ ). But I did not use that, oh no. For some reason, I got the idea that a comprehensive concept is the ticket. I tried changing an existing one myself. If you are concerned with police, you will seemingly fancy to research about http://www.surfline.com/company/bios/index.cfm. Better, but not perfect. Google was beginning to catalog more pages, nevertheless they all had the same title. My missives to an uncaring world were being overlooked. So I got someone else to do one, based on my requirements, which were - Grab a META 'subject' from your blog post 'title'; - Grab a META 'explanation' in the blog 'excerpts'; - Put a ROBOTS 'noindex' draw in non-content pages. But that was not enough. For best SEO results you have to arrange Wordpress savagely. You've to become _mean_ to it. You've to _man_ enough. I did a bit of re-search and came up with to following recommendations. This dynamite www.surfline.com/company/bios/index.cfm article directory has specific rousing suggestions for the inner workings of this thing. WARNING They are extreme. If you already have great rankings, making significant changes to-your URLs may possibly affect them. In my own case - Moving my website http://www.ttblog.co.uk for the root web index, - MOD_REWRITING its URLs, and - Removing a 30-1 redirect, ... caused my PageRank to visit 0. BUT, site indexing was unaffected. This is temporary, as Google found it as 'suspect' conduct. My site had been radically changed by me. Listed below are the tips, for real _men_, who will look in the face of internet death and laugh 1. Trigger permalinks when you go to 'Options/Permalinks.' You might have to enable Apache MOD_REWRITE on your website consideration. 1a. Reduce the permalinks code to just the variable. Do not work with the time codes. This keeps your URLs small. 2. Point your website in the uppermost directory possible. Browse here at surfline to compare why to do this belief. http://www.ttblog.co.uk is preferable to http://www.ttblog.co.uk/wordpress/ Therefore a normal post would appear to be http://www.ttblog.co.uk/Im-hard-as-nails-me/ Instead of http://www.ttblog.co.uk/wordpress/2006/08/03/Im-hard-as-nails-me/ 3. Then install an SEO'd theme. My blog posts are now being found beautifully. The Google 'site:' command returns all my posts, and little else. For my next concern, I change it into an operating-system, and take on Windows XP..
