WordPress Checklist Now a Plug-In

I can’t even begin to count the number of WordPress blogs that I’ve set up personally, much less count how many have been done by various members of our team.

Literally dozens of hours have been spent doing the same repetitive and mundane tasks, ranging from changing default permalink structure to renaming the default category from “Uncategorized”.


My Secret WordPress H1 Hack

We use WordPress to build a lot of websites, not only because it’s so easy, but because it’s great for search engine optimization.

However, when I began using it to build full sites as opposed to just supplementing existing sites with blogs, I noticed a big shortcoming.


10 Commandments of WordPress

Over the past couple of years, we’ve become quite dependent upon WordPress because of the versatility of this open source management system, allowing us to do nearly anything we can imagine.

In many cases WordPress can be a good supplement to existing website, allowing users to easily add and manage search engine friendly content without the need of the Web designer.


Virus in a Wordpress Post

I was at a friends home a couple of weeks ago, and he was complaining about a virus on his computer. Try as he might, he could not get rid of this virus. I total look and thought I was able to remove it, but he said that the next day it came back.


Selective Use of DoFollow on WordPress Comments

I was commenting on a blog this morning when I saw that there were a number of comment author links that were NoFollowed, and a number that were not.  The blog owner was singling out comments for approval to allow the passing of link juice.


Changing Wordpress Permalink Structure

I’m pulling the trigger on something I haven’t had the guts to do before, but it’s long overdue. After nearly 3 years, I’m changing the permalink structure on my blog, although it’s not for the reasons you might think.

Besides search engine visibility, the more realistic answer is simple “user-friendliness”. People really aren’t that much different than search engine spiders when it comes to determining the relevancy of a link.


Wordpress FAQ Plug-in – Very Cool

I came across a Wordpress plug-in called FAQ-Tastic , which allows users to submit questions to your website, and I’ve added it here.

You can create categories of questions, and even have different forms for people to ask questions about different subjects, with no apparent limit.


Ask Your Internet Marketing Questions

I get a lot of e-mails asking questions, and I frequently turn my replies into articles. That’s actually how my SEO 101 section came about long ago.

Replying can be quite time consuming, but not replying might be seen as rude, so I’ve now come up with a great compromise that adds a sort of “Web 2.0″ aspect to my site, and helps me easily generate new content.


Integrate Wordpress & Google Website Optimizer

People engaged in serious online marketing have long been taking advantage of Wordpress as a nearly perfect website platform to build and maintain websites for some time now.  Combined with cutting edge SEO plugins, it’s unstoppable, in my opinion.


The Perfect Website

From a site visitor perspective, of course it should look professional, and be functional and easy to use, but what about for the administrator or site owner that needs to maintain it? What would make it perfect for them?

Host anywhere
In their case, the perfect website would not be dependent on where it’s hosted, nor would it be dependent on a certain web designer to be able to easily add or change content.
