World's Bestest SEO

• Looking for Link Love 24.09.08

  In an effort to reach a broader audience and to increase general awareness of my sites, I have agreed to be nominated for Blogger Choice Awards. I doubt I’ll win but you can still vote for me. Vote for these three sites…
  Blogogetics - Best Religious Blog

• Tweaking your WordPress Website 09.09.08

  I’m constantly making changes to my website in ways you probably don’t notice. Like when I changed my site so that, from a code point of view, both sidebars come after the content. On the surface, there was no difference for you, but if you were visually impaired and were using page reading [...]

• The World, Brave New or End of 08.09.08

  The other day, Gil, from the InkTank forums shared something he found on the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). If your not familiar with what that is, here’s the basics:

  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It [...]

• Browsin’ with my homeboy 02.09.08

  Well, it appears Google is launching its own open-source browser (Chrome) sometime today. You can learn more about it by reading their informative comic.
  Chrome, said Google’s vice president of product management, Sundar Pichai, is based on the same WebKit engine that powers Apple Inc.’s Safari, and like Microsoft Corp.’s new Internet Explorer 8 [...]

• World’s Bestest SEO 18.08.08

  I AM THE BESTEST
  “Just an average guy who got the bug to blog and found the community aspect far more enjoyable.”
  After reading this post from Darren Slatten, I have decided to become the World’s Bestest SEO.
  All kidding aside, I have added a category for SEO related topics (guess what it’s called) This will include [...]

• Updates, plugins and more 15.08.08

  So I spent a few moments this morning updating my WordPress installs on various sites I manage (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and I must say that the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade has been a life saver and, more importantly, a time saver.
  It takes about 20 minutes to update each WP install using traditional FTP [...]

• I beat the 300 mark 05.08.08

  This is just a quick note (mostly to myself) that I am currently ranked in the top 300 on SEOmoz.org.
  SEOmoz, a Seattle-based SEO company, serves as a hub for search marketers worldwide, providing education, tools, resources and paid services. “Our vast community comprises more than 80,000 registered users interested in the search marketing field. [...]

• Link-happy or just confussed? 27.05.08

  So my long time readers have probably noticed a few changes over time on this site as I try to optimize it both for user experience and for ad revenue. Finding that balance can be quite tricky. For example, you may have realized that links in blue are either Google Ads or Amazon [...]

• Site Advertising 16.05.08

  Dear Webmasters of the World (or anyone who can answer) how do you handle your online advertisers? I have someone interested in advertising on my site but I’m not sure how to go about the whole “contract” and billing and such. So far, I’ve made my ‘fortune’ via Google AdSense,
  /* and Amazon Associates, [...]

• Nofollow my arse 28.04.08

  So it appears I’m addicted to SEOmoz now but there was a recent post that really hit home today. SEOmoz | Google Follows Nofollowed Links in SEOmoz Comments?
  I may be totally wrong on this, or maybe I’ve overlooked some obvious explanation as to why some content on the end of nofollowed SEOmoz comment links [...]

• WordPress 2.5 31.03.08

  WordPress › Blog » WordPress 2.5
  For those of you wondering, Wordpress 2.5 is available for download. It offers a lot of back-end changes that make it more user friendly, unless you’ve been using it for some time, in which case it takes some getting used to.
  I highly recommend upgrading as it does have some [...]

• WordPress 2.3.3 05.02.08

  WordPress › Blog » WordPress 2.3.3
  Yep, it’s time to upgrade Wordpress again. This is a security fix and is highly recommended. Follow the link for more information or simply download the latest version here.
  A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to [...]

• I’m gonna propose you a proposition! 30.01.08

  Big Dan Teague
  Anyone who blogs usually has visions of making money from blogging. And why not. We here all sorts of stories where someone started making millions from blogging about the most mundane things. But for most of us, the opulent lifestyle is far from our reach. I count myself lucky [...]

• WordPress 2.3.2 29.12.07

  For those of you using Wordpress, there is an important update you should consider.
  WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information [...]

• When do I get paid? 13.06.07

  This website pays for itself (eventually)
  We’ll send your check or EFT payment within approximately 30 days of the end of the month in which your account balance reaches US$100, unless a payment hold exists or unless otherwise agreed to in writing (including electronic mail).
  For example, if you earn $40 in January and $70 in February, [...]

• Whois 24.05.07

  I track visitor traffic on my website pretty religiously. Compulsory is more like it. A regular addiction it is. But that’s not the point. The point is, who are these people and what do they want. For example…
  Who is this site? affalink.affa.gov.au/information_technology/outsourcing/contentkeeper_splash.cfm Someone came to my site via this site [...]

• WPG2 2.01 for Wordpress 2.1 04.02.07

  * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 748 *
  We finally got the update to the WPG2 plugin that makes it compatible with Wordpress 2.1. After testing it on one site, I was able to update all my Gallery2 sites. So if you want to integrate your Gallery2 install with your Wordpress 2.1 [...]

• Upgrade wordpress - upgrade again 15.01.07

  I recently upgraded my wordpress files to the latest version (2.0.6) only to discover that there is yet another version released (2.0.7). Luckily, the upgrade path from 2.0.5 is relatively easy and from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 it is even easier but still…
  The farther out of date you get, the more files you have to [...]

• Wordpress 2.0 Released! 27.12.05

  Wordpress 2.0 was released today and there will be much rejoicing. OK may not but a lot of people have eagerly awaited its official release. Most of the changes occur “under the hood” so don’t expect a lot of visual differences. However, after a couple of months you should see a lot [...]
