WordPress Permalinks: What's the Best Choice?

By Pat Marcello on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 | View Comments

I can tell you what the wrong choice in terms of SEO is and that’s keeping the “http://yourblogdomain.com/?postnumber” that is the WordPress default. It doesn’t tell folks or search spiders anything about the post, except what number the post is. Your SEO-friendly permalink will include your keyword rich title as well as the post number, [...]

Blogging: Keep a Swipe File

If you have studied copywriting at any level, you’ll have heard the term “swipe file” often. That’s just a collection of headlines or really good sales copy that can be modeled. It can’t be used verbatim, of course, because that would be plagiarism, but you can rewrite what you find, and even the best copywriters [...]

Ah, yes… time for another post about… TWITTER! Aren’t some of us spending inordinate amounts of time there? I was at a conference with Carrie Wilkerson–the Barefoot Executive, who has like 52,000+ followers, and I thought she was going to wear out the keys on her Blackberry, I swear. She’s amazing.!

I really like the WordPress plugin HeadSpace2. It’s easy to use and much quicker than using All-in-One SEO, but let me tell you… I installed it and have been using it for the past few weeks. I decided that I liked HeadSpace2 a lot better than All-in-One because I have very little time, and it [...]

Do you like the ability to interact with your audience? I do, and about six months ago or more I found a great plugin that allows me to answer questions people have about my niche. Notice the top navigatin panel, which has “Blogging Questions,” “SEO Questions,” etc. Those are the result of using FAQ-tastic. FAQ-Tastic [...]

WordPress Plugin: HeadSpace… Better Than All-in-One?

I have spent the past couple of years touting the coolness of the All-in-One SEO Pack plugin for WordPress.
