Last week Yahoo! announced that they have been making changes on their indexing and ranking algorithms warning everyone to keep a close eye on the effects on their own site’s rankings. It’s been more than a week and I wonder if you have noticed any changes in your site’s ranking in Yahoo. I realised that I haven’t checked with Gary how we’ve been doing.
A reminder to everyone: Though Google is great do not be overly focused on Google and neglect your status in the other major search engines (Yahoo!, Ask, and MSN Search). The traffic from these three are still considerable and traffic is still traffic.
Note too that if you have a client with paid directories or if you submit to paid directories don’t forget on these directories’ status with Google because there have been reports of manual penalisation of paid directories around September last year. I wonder what this year holds in terms of search engines weeding out sites that they deem are not that desirable.

Some SEO folks, when talking about keyword stuffing, pertain to the page as being over optimised. But is there really such a thing as over optimisation?

Chris of Rillz Magazine wrote an interesting post on a Wordpress quirk that isn’t doing anything for your SEO. The ever helpful Wordpress uses the phrase “Read more” or “Continue reading” automatically at the end of post excerpts. This is useful since you want your readers to know that they have something more to read […]

What I have noticed about SEO bloggers and speakers (which are usually the same bunch of people, although only the best of the SEO bloggers are invited as speakers) is that while their posts and talks are really informative and useful you are bound to find out even more in depth information if you actually […]

For at least the last five years the UK web design industry has been buoyant, but are there signs of an imminent decline, or has it already started?
I have an involvement it two small independent web design agencies, so I think I have a feel for the volume of new enquiries/new business interest that there […]

The client cooperates.
Website owners that have no real knowledge of SEO sometimes make the mistake of either dismissing […]

I was thinking of posting some philosophical piece about SEO, or a short but very informative piece on the basics of SEO, or even a plain introduction of myself. Anyway I ended up deciding to go […]

Back in July 2007 I posted “Scraping - How can I stop scrapers?” Joost had noticed that content on Phoenixrealm was being scraped and kindly let me know.
Joost has recently released “RSS Footer” a Wordpress plugin that gets the scraper working for you.
Nice!!
