Can Google Help With Your SEO?
I know, it’s a little hard to believe, right? The search giant wants to help little ole me understand and leverage Search Engine Optimization for my small business?
In a word… Yes.
Google has created a new channel on another mega-giant, YouTUBE. It’s called the Google Web Master Central channel, and they are uploading videos made by the actual geeks that are building code within the Google-plex. In fact, they are also responding to questions and comments left on a video in new videos.
Ever wished you just could ask Google “Is Google putting more weight on brands in rankings?”. Now you can.
There’s a serious number of video’s online already, all nicely arranged into playlists so related videos’ are grouped together. There are videos that covers how sites are displayed in Google search results and that introduces other useful Google resources for webmasters.
Search engine optimization is sometimes a daunting task for small businesses without a large SEO budget to hire firms to manage it for them, but it just got a little easier. Check out the Google Web Master Central channel on YouTUBE, and get the answers you are looking for — right from the horses mouth, so to speak.
I wonder if Google will find this post and be mad that I compared them to a horse? Hmmm.
Below, is a one of the videos in the Google for Webmasters series. Do yourself a favor and book mark the Google channel and check in often. SEO as taught by the master of it? Oh yeah.

A recent coaching session covered the SEO benefits of installing and using Headspace2. As members of that call will recognize, about 45 minutes was cut from this video. All the wasted time on technical difficulties is gone. Areas where the information was repeated (as in answering questions or covering the same concept on a different part of the call) were removed or spliced together to provide a single explanation.

about 5 months ago - 13 comments
Over time, your blog evolves (hopefully). This means category names change, posts are updated, files move or subdirectories are deleted. What happens when someone clicks a link to a post or file that is no longer there?
They get a 404 Error.
Even with a Custom 404 Error Page, you didn’t deliver the content they thought they were getting. So they might leave. Read the rest of Redirection and 301 Via Plugin: Stop Leaking SEO and Visitors
Customize Tag Cloud Appearance To Help Visitors Find Your Content
about 5 months ago - 8 comments
I know you thought you’d never hear me say this, but a plugin isn’t always the best way to handle a small change in your Wordpress Theme. Especially since each plugin adds it’s own load time to the overall page load time. Fast = visitors stay longer.
Come on, we are a generation of short-attention spanned humans, struggling to assimilate the thousands of bits of information that flow like a river into our awareness. The longer a page takes to load, the less inclined we are to look at other content on a site. One slow page, especially the main page, and most folks will pack up their little red wagon and move on.

If ping servers are a foreign concept to you, you probably won’t appreciate this list of ping servers. And since I value *appreciation*, let me explain exactly why you should care about ping services — first.
And no geeky-technical-only-your-IT-manager-will-understand-it jargon.
The term *ping* dates all the way back to the early days of computer networks – which pre-dates the Internet. It was a service on the computer that would allow network administrators to check to see if a connection was present.
Sort of like a bat sending out sonic sound waves, a computer would *ping* another, and record Read the rest of Giant List Of Ping Servers ~ Fast Track Your Google Notifications

(* By impress, I mean engage, wow and help your visitors)
When something goes wrong on your site, your visitors will land on a 404 page, or to their way of thinking, the Twilight Zone.
Most standard Wordpress blogs come handily equipped with a 404 Page. The problem is it is absolutely worthless for helping your visitor get back on track.
There could be a variety of reasons they landed there: Read the rest of A Custom 404 Page : An Opportunity To Impress* Your Visitors
