Headspace2: The End Of An Era in SEO

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Plugins, SEO, Wordpress | 0 comments

Headspace2 is no longer supported. I can’t tell you how sad I am. Frustrated. Confused. Maybe a little bitter. Headspace2 was an SEO plugin I found some time ago. As anyone who follows me knows, it’s a plugin I have proclaimed long and loud. I install it on all my client blogs. I teach how to set it up. I encouraged it’s use far and wide. And now it’s gasping it’s last. The Handwriting On The Wall For Headspace2 I can’t say it’s a complete surprise to me however. For some time there have been little niggling issues after each update. A quick review at Google for the search term “headspace2...

Posted by Cenay Nailor in Defend Your Blog, FAQ | 0 comments

I don’t mind telling you, there is a downside to finally getting your blog a page rank. Trackback Spam. And yes, I have written before about the wonderful way to get inbound links to your blog using Trackback’s, but this isn’t what I meant. Leave it to spammers to take a perfectly good, innocent and well thought out tool and corrupt it. Trackback Spam verses Legitimate Trackback’s There is a difference. Trackback spam is the automated crap that crawls the web looking for sites with Page Rank, and one word that matches their needs. Hell, I don’t even think the one word is a requirement. Once found, the bot...

So, has this happened to you? You install a new upgrade or plugin, and suddenly, various places within your dashboard no longer work? You happily click the Dashboard | Posts | Edit link to be greeted by a stark white and completely empty page.

And like you, I started Googling the answer, only to find there were dozens of “solutions” out there, and not one of them helped me. I will, for the sake of consolidating the answers into one convenient place, assemble those other solutions as well, but here is what worked for me.

Posted by Cenay Nailor in Wordpress | 0 comments

This video walked him through installing the theme (after purchase), and covers a few of the cooler functions available to him. It's a short video, but I think one that will show off the features of the Catalyst Theme pretty well.

Search Engine Optimization and Online Marketing: Working Together

Posted by Cenay Nailor in Online Marketing, SEO | 2 comments

A successful online business will have a few things in common, but first, here are a couple of concepts you really need to be clear on. You can build the very best website on the planet, but unless people can find it, you won't sell a thing. You can get hundreds, even thousands of visitors to your site every day, but unless you are offering what they are looking for, you won't sell a thing. Both of these concepts are what search engine optimization is all about. Getting found for exactly the phrase (or product/service) that your potential customer is looking for...
