SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is another of the key skills for online earning where I am sadly lacking. But that just means I have to try harder and that I’m more likely to share mistakes I’ve made so that you don’t have to make the same ones. It also means that my successes are that much more glorious. So, if you’re looking for SEO tips or trying to improve your rankings in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) follow along as I work my way through the associated problems from scratch…

Hello again Did you miss me?

If any of y’all have wondered where I’ve been, I’ve been around, just keeping my paws off the site in order to see what would happen. Specifically, I was curious how my complete absence for a month would effect such things as my standings in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) and my Google Adsense revenue. Results were both positive and a bit distressing, but I’ll get to my reaction to them in a few moments.

Still Think Google’s PageRank Means Something?

Posted on September 7, 2008 - Filed Under SEO, Technology, Webmastering | 1 Comment

According to Google-

PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

So that led me to pondering where, exactly, web traffic comes from. The answer, ultimately is two places: links and search engines. This, of course, led to Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. One of the first things I learned there was that links from governmental…

CommentLuv and FeedBurner Don’t Mix (Or Do They?)

Posted on April 19, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, SEO | 13 Comments

FiddyP created an amazing WordPress Plugin last year called CommentLuv and it’s been steadily working its way around the blogosphere. Essentially, CommentLuv uses fellow blogger’s RSS feeds to automatically append a link to their latest blog post to any comments they leave on a CommentLuv enabled blog. I installed it here at Philaahzophy about 6 months ago and it’s quickly became my favorite WordPress plug-in.

Philaahzophy has now been around for roughly a year as a stand alone website.

Self-education is always a slow process, but it’s particularly difficult with SEO as the “right” thing to do is…
