3 Steps to Managing Multiple Domains With Wordpress!

Hi Arindam,
I've just converted my blog from Blogger to Wordpress and choosing the right plugins is an absolute minefield. Whilst only wanting one blog for now (!), your plugin list has made interesting reading.
Thanks!
Emma
p.s. Please don't keep referring to your posts as 'boring' - they're not, and a little positive thinking goes a long way

Namecheap Coupon Codes for August 2009

Thanks Arindam - perfect timing! I'm just launching another website and needed to buy a domain name. Next, I'm going to use Angela's links to see just where I can get it in the SERPS. A bit of an experiment, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Google Counts a Nofollow Link!

Arindam,
Do you use a plugin to make links dofollow after three posts have been made? Could you share it with us?
Many thanks,
Emma

BEWARE of Posting Affiliate Links on Your Blog!

Arindam,

We have the OFT - Office of Fair Trading and they dictate distance selling regulations that online merchants have to abide by, much the same as physical/high-street retailers. However, they are not able to dictate the content of a website as long as it is legally compliant.

We also don't have the FDA-style hoops to jump through for disclaimers on websites selling health products.

I think the FTC are in for a struggle - other than hosting my websites through a US company (and I can change that to a UK one if I really wanted) most affiliates that I promote are UK-based (Clickbank? I can't afford to have the USD cheques paid into my UK bank account and still make money!!!), so I'm probably okay.

If there is regulation though, surely it should come from within the industry - there are new rules for coupon code websites in the UK for example, which are self-imposed and are working well.

We'll wait and see what happens!

I might be being a bit daft but as a UK user, what implications does this have for my websites? And what is this 'FTC'?

The internet is a world wide decentralised resource - are the US government going to block all sites that don't comply from being viewed from any US user (hmmm, reminds me of the great firewall of China)? Or are they going to go on originating IP address? My sites are hosted in the US, but are predominantly .co.uk ones. And what is 'disclosure' - all my sites that use affiliate links have a mention in the privacy policy - is this enough? Or if it's okay as far as the UK government is concerned, will I have to have some geo-ip script that redirects US users to a 'sorry, you aren't allowed to view this site' page? Sounds ill-conceived to me.

p.s. Anyone got photoshop skills to mock me up some PayPal 'earnings' screenshots??? (Joke!!!)

Decoding SEO Meta Tags

Hi Arindam,

Another simple yet effective post! I think in some of your examples, you could make the code slightly more efficient i.e. reduce the code to content ratio, which is better for search engine rankings.

For example, you gave:
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="noindex">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="nofollow">

But this can actually be:
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="noindex,nofollow">

Not forgetting a forward slash before the closing bracket if you code in XHTML of course

It is good to be reminded of some of the page tweaks from time to time though - it's so easy to get hung up on the content and forget about how your site appears in the search engines.

Thanks,
Emma

Search Engine Optimization Demystified-Part 1

Hi Arindam,
I'm sure that reading Matt Cutt's article a few years ago on dashes vs underscores has done me great favours* in the search engines.

Whenever I create a new website, I first plan the structure and make sure that I name the html pages according to relevant keywords separated by dashes. I try to keep to just one or two words in each page title otherwise it's suddenly not so visitor friendly.

I've had one or two websites that I've written for local businesses on the first page of Google (admittedly they've not been targetting a huge niche) and domain and keywords really do make a difference to the SERPS in my mind.

I hadn't thought about sub-domains though - I guess if you treat each one as a separate domain for SEO and backlinking purposes, that could work really well for splitting bigger niches down.

Many thanks!
Emma

Unlocking Windows on the Fly!

Brill - thanks Arindam. I have so many pesky files on my hard drive that I couldn't delete, thought I'd delete next time I turned the computer on and then completely forgot about. It's especially annoying when you're trying to delete a folder and there's one 'locked' file inside. Am downloading Unlocker as I type. Thanks,
Emma

Getting REAL About Backlinks

Hi Arindam,
Another great post - it certainly gives you more information than a general Google backlink search. However, I find that a lot of so-called backlinks turn out to be other pages on the same website - great for showing if you've got a good internal linking structure going on, but not so helpful for external SEO purposes. I also use marketleap.com's free tools, as it does save the history of your domain, so you can see progress over time.

In Link Building, Sometimes It PAYS to Be Different

Arindam,
I came across your site via fatlossplr.com and have been constantly amazed by the information you offer for free. I've got my first backlink packet from Angela (thanks to your recommendation) and have read all of your posts relating to site promotion - my only problem now is actually getting started! Many thanks for the hundreds of dollars you've saved me already!
