SEO Plugins for Wordpress

Jeff — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:34:07 +0000

The longer I use Wordpress for our blog and other sites I build the more and more I love it’s flexibility and ease of use. From complicated ecommerce sites to simple 10 pages sites for non-techie clients Wordpress’s simplicity makes it easy to teach people how to use and even modify their site without being dependent on anyone.

Here are my favorite plugins that make Wordpress great!

All in One SEO Pack

Provides all your SEO abilities in one easy to use plug-in.

AJAX Comments

Lets users add comments without having to refresh the page using Web 2.0 AJAX goodness.

Askimet

This comes packaged by default with Wordpress but it’s vital you get an API key and activate this plug in, that is unless you want to help spammers sell viagra.

Dofollow

Why let Google outsource it’s quality control to you?? Add the dofollow plugin to remove the “rel=”nofollow” attribute from comments on your site.

Google XML Sitemaps

This tool is great for easily adding an XML Sitemap to your site so Google can better index you, especially if your entire site is built in Wordpress.

Sociable

Automatically adds links to the bottom of every post/page (at your discretion) that allows your users to easily submit and up-vote (hopefully) your content.

Wordpress Back Up Tool

Great tool for people who can’t handle phpMyAdmin for pulling a database backup. (back up early and often!!)

Wordpress Automatic Upgrade

This tool makes it easy to upgrade your site to the latest version of Wordpress without having to play with FTP. Just make sure you back up your site first and navigate to http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/update.php after running this to make sure you update your database.

Know any other cool plugins?? Please leave links in the comments.

Chrome’s missing features

Jeff — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:30:37 +0000

So, after playing around with the new Chrome Browser from Google I’ve got a few features that I’ll need before I can start using this browser full time:

1. Google Bookmarks

I’ve consolidated all my bookmarks here so I can have them everywhere I go (lots of places, lots of different machines). It seems like this should have been baked in from the start but maybe the engineers at Google don’t use this service or just forgot.

2. Page Rank Bar

I know it doesn’t really matter that much but I’m just so use to seeing it…..

3. Plug Ins

I’m sure this is on the way but they could have done some research and made the most popular add ons available on launch. If they had at least included html sigs for Gmail I’d use Chrome for all things Google right now as it is WAY faster for Gmail, Calendar, etc.

What features are missing for you? Add your missing features in the comments.

Just installed Google Chrome and it’s FAST!!

Jeff — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:15:11 +0000

Haven’t played with it too much but as far as using any of Google’s services (GMail, Reader, etc.) there is a lot more responsiveness and speed.

Hope Google’s Chrome gets a large adoption as other sites could definitely benefit by optimizing themselves for this browser.

Coming to Facebook: “married to , , , and _”

Jeff — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:54:42 +0000

Today rumors are spreading across the web claiming that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) have made a bid to acquire Facebook. The rumor, first reported by Zack Klein, cites the churches huge ancestral database (the largest in the US) and the churches vast wealth as a way to validate the rumor as possible.

If this is true (I doubt it) then Mark Zuckerberg should definitely show up Tom Anderson and take the money and run.

Anyone else getting spam from Keyword Spy (KeywordSpy.com)??

Jeff — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:02:06 +0000

In the last week I’ve gotten two lead form fills (I’m assuming their bots confused the form with a blog comment form), a few comments, and lots of spammy emails from throwaway GMail accounts.

Name: Michelle
E Mail : michelle@keywordspy.com
Phone: 01877520-8596
Company : keywordspy
Url: http://www.keywordspy.com
Comments: I found this great adwords tool KeywordSpy.com . I\’m using it and it has really improved my profits. It offers Free trials.- http://www.keywordspy.com/

Ok seriously, how can you say you ‘found’ a great site when your email is coming from @keywordspy.com??

Hello,

I found this great adwords tool KeywordSpy.com for keyword researching & also its affiliate program. It really worked well earning me good profits. They track affiliate keywords on powerful networks like ClickBank, Commission Junction, LinkShare, PayDotCom, ClixGalore, ShareASale, MAXBounty, TradeDoubler, Amazon.
I noticed it when I read many people who use keywordspy are making very good revenue & can see who are the super affiliate, look at the keywords, the ad copies and setup similar campaigns.

In 10 minutes we can have a affiliate campaign setup that is already profitable.
It very useful for tracking what your competitor is doing, tracking all advertisers on Google in over 20 countries.
I could also monitor my competitor’s marking strategies. Therefore KeywordSpy can be used to imporove own PPC campaign by finding better keywords.

We could exchange some more ideas & tools if you have come across.

Thanks,
Jenni.

Wow Jenni, way to name drop all the great affiliate programs this helps you with. I hope they sue you for tarnishing their names by including it in your spam.

So far I’ve seen one other blogger talking about keyword spy’s spamming and I want to see if anyone else is doing this and encourage them to blog about it too.

Good Times at the Social Media Club Los Angeles 7-28-08

Jeff — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:30:37 +0000

Tiffany Weller and I made our way out of the South Bay and over to Santa Monica yesterday for some afternoon co-working at the Casa Del Mar before making our way over to the Mahalo office for the Social Media Club. While co-working Brian found out that no one had taken care of getting the drinks (besides soda) so we made our way over to Trader Joe’s to stock up:

As you can see this was vital for a good event and Tiffany was a hit:

The theme for the panel was “A Social Media Primer” and was moderated by Jackie Peters from Heavybag Media and the panel members included social media pioneer Brian Solis and local social media rock stars; Robert Richman, Michael Dorausch and Nicole Jordan.

SMCLA Panel at the Mahalo Offices in Santa Monica

The one question from that panel that really stood out to me was “who owns social media?” Everyone wants to know what section of a company (marketing, pr, customer service). I’m working on a post covering this and it should be posted tomorrow.

Now, the best pic of the night:

Brian Solis, Shira Lazar, and Jeffrey Henderson
