SEO tips for wordpress blogs

Posted August 30th, 2007 in SEO Tips and Tricks by Sam

If you are running a WordPress blog, you might be interested in reading further. Note that these are my answers and you could have your own opinions. But, anyway…here we go:
1. What is the best url format for a WordPress blog?
I guess this could be a very popular question. As you know, WordPress allows users to output blog post urls in different formats such as /%parmalink%/, /%date%/%permalink%/, etc. Well, from my experience, url formats do not matter much in having higher rankings. But what I will always recommend is, try to do some deep links (ie. 2007/05/06/blog-post.html). Search engines love deep web pages and if all your blog posts are placed one level under root (ie. .com/blogpost/), it might look a bit abnormal. Some people prefer to have /?p=5 format, which blog posts are accessed via dynamic parameter. The good reason for doing this perhaps is a higher PageRank post (if your homepage PageRank is high enough).

2. How often do you think I should update my blog?
Updating is the key thing in running a blog, whether you are writing unique content or copy and paste. Search engine knows if your website is static or a blog, or a forum. What happens if lack of update? What I can say is, you should expect a drop of PageRank.

3. How can I get a higher PageRank value for my blog?
It’s easy to get PR3, PR4, or PR5. But anything higher requires further input. Unique content is definitely required. Besides backlinks, long unique blog posts can help pushing your PageRank further.

4. Should I worry about setting unique keywords and description tags for each page?

Meta tags do not give you a better ranking, especially the meta keywords tag. The only thing is the description tag could give your ranking a better looking description, that’s all. Setting unique keywords and description for each page, is a no need. However, good title for each page is extremely important.

5. Should I place a link to the theme owner or even WordPress?
I do recommend that you do so, although it does not do any good or bad in terms of seo. It is a good way to respect the intellectual property on the Internet.

Friend or lover dosent matter!!!

Posted August 28th, 2007 in Love creations by Sam

My feelings for you I’ve tried to share
But sometimes you made me feel like you didn’t care

The things I would like to do for you,
Wishing you would understand how much I care.
It’s so hard for me to tell you
I think I Love You and will always be there.

What I’m saying to you is true;
There is no one else but you.
It makes me so happy to be with you;
Sometimes I feel like acting the fool.

The words you told me made me cry;
The pain I feel I won’t deny.
But I want to try to work things out;
These words are true, without a doubt.

If you could tell me you feel the same way, too,
To be able to work things out and start brand new,
I guarantee you won’t have any regret
Because me by your side will be your best bet.

Just remember that I’ll be there till the end
Either as your lover, or as your best friend!!

Where is the love?

Posted August 24th, 2007 in Love creations by Sam

If ever a boy stood on the moon
All the heavens would call there angels Round
Stop the tears from troubled skies from Falling
If ever the river could whisper you name
Would the choices you make still be the Same
Like a flower that dies from angry rain
Why do we hurt ourselves?

Where is the love??
That lets the sunlight in to start again
A love That sees no color lines
Life that begins with love
So spread your wings and fly
Guide your spirit safe and sheltered
A thousand dreams that we can still Believe

If ever a boy stood on the moon
Carrying all of his treasures from the stars
To a rainbow which leads to where we Are
Together we chase the sun

Where is the love
That lifts my brothers voice to the skies
A love That answers a mothers cry
Life begins with love
So spread your wings and fly
Guide your spirit safe and sheltered
A thousand dreams that we can still Believe

A boy stood on the moon
The ancient souls can still discover
A thousand dreams that we can still Believe
We can still believe….

Stylesheets Advantages

Posted August 21st, 2007 in CSS, SEO Tips and Tricks, Web Layout Design by Sam

Because you are able to create a separate Stylesheet and link it to all your webdocuments, you have great control over how your website looks. So if you want to change a certain aspect of your page, you only need to alter one file: your Stylesheet!

This Of course, generates some great flexibility. This flexibility is not available when your website is using tables for layout, inline font tags or inline defined colors.

A single CSS file can contain positioning, layout, font, colors and style information for an entire web site.

2. You site uses less bandwidth and loads faster

Because stylesheets are so lightweight, your website will load much faster. The main reason is because you do not need table layouts anymore for the positioning of elements. Since text loads really really fast your website will be visible in a flash.

This means that visitors will be happier when surfing your website. They only have to download the Stylesheet once, and it’s automatically reused for every page. So the only thing that needs to be loaded is the actual content.

On average a website will load five to ten times faster if it makes use of cascading style sheets.

3. Your website will automatically gain better search engine results

With CSS, you can position any element, anywhere you want. So if your menu is at the bottom of your HTML document, you can bring it up using absolute positioning. The reason this is useful is to make sure the search engine spiders pick up the main content first.

Another advantage you automatically gain is that your HTML code is much cleaner. So the search engine spider will not have to separate the junk code from the real content.

So make sure you put your logo text and your menu at the bottom of your HTML document at put it at the top using CSS!

4. CSS is compatible with newer browsers

Because more and more browsers are used other than Internet Explorer on a Windows machine, you need to be sure that your website is accessible by all major and newer browsers.

By using webstandards, defined by the w3c, you are making sure your content is viewable in the future.

Because there are so many browsers these days, it is impossible to test your website in all these browsers on different configurations. Coding to standards is then the only practical solution.

5. CSS can be used to display the same content on different media.

Because you are able to define different stylesheets for different media you have great flexibility in presenting your content.

The printer for example, is a medium on itself. If someone prints out your website, you will be able to modify the look of it. Add an extra black and white logo, remove the advertisements and change the colors to black and white values. It’s all done easily by using cascading stylesheets. And the best thing is, visitors do not even have to know you created a new Stylesheet especially for the printer.

Stylesheets can also be created specifically for PDA’s and such. As you will understand, this adds some great flexibility to the presentation of your web document.

Conclusion

Cascading Style Sheets are created to make things easier. It gives you great control of your website and makes your visitors happy when they are surfing your website.

You are prepared for the future and will gain better search engine results automatically. Start using CSS to its full potential today! It will suit you well.
