3 SEO Enhancements That Won't Require Ripping Up Your Site |
|||||
Hacking up old web sites sucks. Many were built without regard for search engine optimization concerns. Just thinking about fixing the architectural problems sends chills down the spine of the web developer. However, a few great enhancements can be performed without disturbing site architecture at all. These items are worthwhile for most web sites and should typically be tasked without concern of detrimental effects. Everyone knows them pretty much, but it's useful to summarize those that are easy. Here's my list: 1. Streamline Social Bookmarking Functionality. People = Lazy. 2. Create Effective Link Bait. Like a List. 3. Start a Blog. Actually Post Stuff. Anyway, I won't patronize you with the other stuff so … I left out the boring stuff that everyone has heard more than … ???. Leave a comment Funniest response gets a link in my next post somehow.

A good idea is to build your own "good neighbourhood", which I'm currently working on. I've got my 'blog, which contains all of the slightly off-topic but still largely web-related stuff, and I've got my own personal website which will soon have a 'blog that will discuss purely SEO & SEO sources of interest, know-how and How-to. All three are interlinked, keyword & key phrase enriched with RSS feed sharing into the bargain, too. Next up: promoting my 'blogs and getting some link swapping going on…
"Funniest response gets a link in my next post somehow." Well that worked, didn't it?!
They also pick up links faster than: - an SEO takes his pants down for a link I left out the boring stuff that everyone has heard more than: - the words "enlarge" and "confidence" in unsollicited emails.
To Wayne, about building your own good neighborhood. This is a bad idea. You're basically creating your own small link farm. Google is not stupid, they will see what you're doing and if you're lucky they will only ignore it. If you're not lucky you will find yourself penalized.
I caught a lot of flack for all of my Social Networking shortcuts. As a result, I added a toggle to display them on and off. Hope you like it:
"This is a bad idea. You’re basically creating your own small link farm. Google is not stupid, they will see what you’re doing and if you’re lucky they will only ignore it. If you’re not lucky you will find yourself penalized." I don't agree. You're sort of making the assumption that what I'm doing is some egregious and unethical attempt to garner more traffic, simply by cultivating deep links and, keyword stuffing and link farming. So far, the good work I've put in is paying off. I'm keeping the linking relevant, targeted and topic-specific. There are topics that I can't really discuss on my company website which are more suited to my 'blog, or to my personal website. So far, this strategy is working very well. Plus, this is simply one part of a much broader strategy…

They also pick up links faster than: - a blogger posting another hate story against Microsoft I left out the boring stuff that everyone has heard more than: - Vista will be more secure than ever (Apologies for the Anti-Microsoft, but I have been reading alot of it tonight
I find all of this discussion about link bait intersting. I belive it has value, but it also seems to me that it is easier for sites which are already popular to link bait than for newer, less-popular sites. For instance, when SEO Book came out with his list of 101 link building suggestions, it wasn't just good link bait because it was a list with 101 suggestions. It was also good link bait because it was SEOBOOKS list with 101 suggestions! In other words, it takes links to make links. It doesn't mean that there is no hope for smaller sites, just that I don't know if link bait is the way to start out. It's better to start out builing a solid base for your site or blog and to then use that popularity to help link bait.
Is there any special techniques that can be used to optimize a wordpress blog on my server for SEO. One issue I see is no way to change the title tags on each page, where it seems to take the blog name for the home page. Link Baiting - It’s not for everyone » SEMBasics[...] I've been reading a lot about link baiting these days. Everyone seems to be recommending, almost as if it is an essential part of link building. And while for some sites there seems to be tremendous value in link baiting, I'm not sure that this is universally true. For instance, I just left this comment on a post at SEO Egghead (you can read the post and comment here): I find all of this discussion about link bait intersting.
