I installed an SEO plug-in for WordPress called All-in-One SEO. This plug-in automatically optimizes the titles for search engines  and generates META tags automatically. The good thing with this is that you can manually override the generated tags and descriptions.

A must use plug-in.

Just recently, WordPress released v ersion 2.6.3, which they say is a minor security release but is still worth downloading and upgrading. I was reading New Wordpress Hacking Strategy Using Cloaking to Target Google IP Addresses and decided to check my WP installation. Thankfully, I got to find out there’s a new version released.

These past few days, I have played with Page Rank Sculpting, putting “nofollow” on some external links. Though my tests are not that massive, it seems it’s doing its purpose. To what good extent, I’m still waiting for more results to come.

I installed the Google XML Sitemap for Wordpress and I like what it’s doing to my blog. I manually checked the sitemap the plug-in generated and it seems everything is OK. The good thing with this plug-in is that it re-generates the sitemap everytime you make a new post.

I have been using Google Analytics for 2 years now. But since the websites I manage and monitor with are not that big and complicated, I haven’t been able to explore it extensively. Recently though I have been tasked to do SEO for a bigger website and since then I started digging into Goggle Analytics.

In my recent quest, I discovered its advanced filtering capabilities. Some very useful guides I have found in the Web Analytics blog category of LunaMetrics. Check the step-by-step Google Analytics Advanced Filtering here.

We get the KEI, we get the better performing keyword for both our organic search and PPC campaigns.

I visited one of my favorite SEO blogs today and found a very interesting article, Small Business SEO: It’s About Education and Empowerment. The article was very straight-forward and of great value when you offer SEO services to small and medium sized businesses.

Is link building still a part of SEO? To me it still is. Though it’s not the same a few years ago wherein webmasters just swap links or drop links everywhere. As algorithms of search engines change, link building techniques change.

While reviewing some link building strategies, I stumbled upon this link building article from SEObook.

Another great site for Search Engine Optimization enthusiasts is SEO in Practice. A very thorough step-by-step guide SEO in my opinion. And the best of all is that it’s FREE. So if you have some spare time, you should have for a great thing like this, go over to their site and get on with their DIY SEO.

One of my favorite sources of search engine optimization (SEO) techniques is SEOmoz. The guides as well as the tools are pretty simple and easy to use.
