Nice post Tom. Great blog by the way. Writing interesting content is a sure-fire way to gain more visitors and establish yourself as well on the web. I believe information is the lifeblood of any internet business. The more interesting content you have, the better. I also think it’s good to outsource content creation sometimes as it’s not easy to write quality content on a regular basis.

hey. just stumbled across yr blog post whilst researching what others are doing for wordpress SEO and I’d say you have it about right, and thx for the kramer plugin, ..installing and testing later on

someone previously said we will soon be getting BACK to the point where content is king. We never left that point really, as great & unique content will get it’s own links without you trying.

otherwise, there is still also much that can be done to help yourself in that area, even if you havent written that Pullitzer prize winner just yet..

came across this in my hunts for new seo tips, i knew most of them but i agree on the way you presented it, though im really tired of seo, it seems its a loosing battle no matter my optimizations several of my sites refuse to move up in the standings and then the few that do end up falling to infinity within a month if i dont keep tweaking and changing things

Totally agree about how people can now hassle you if your known, I had a disgruntled client try and 'threaten' me by researching about me and making threats etc about what he 'researched' - more hear

It’s the backlinks part of things that I’d like to learn more about. Once you get a pingback or trackback, does that mean there is a permanent link from the blog doing the “pinging back” to your blog – until such time as it is manually broken? I’ve read about this stuff, but it doesn’t really sink in… maybe I’m thick.

PS: I’d rather be writing too. And reading, which is why I’ve signed up for your feed

letters,

If everyone masters SEO, then yes, we’d be back to square one. However, the likelihood of that is small, since so much of SEO depends on backlinks to your page. In my opinion, backlinks are not something you can easily master, since they are somewhat out of your control.

Just a philosophical question, but it may be technical as well. If every blogger eventually masters the art of SEO, aren’t we just back at square one, where content counts more than anything?

A friend of mine was showing me a slick application for web analytics – http://crazyegg.com/

It includes a heat map of where people click most often on each area of your site; the search engines and other sites referring to each page; and a unique “confetti” application with several different colored dots showing exactly where people are clicking and where they came from.

I’m going to be using Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ for my site along with this application to help make future changes to my company’s website.

This may fall outside of the scope of this conversation, but I wanted to share this tool with others b/c I think it can help improve the user experience of those coming to your site. The easier it is to find and subsequently use any content on your site, the more likely it will be that others will link to your site – thereby helping to increase your rank in search engines like Google.
