Post Server Update

YapYapOK Free Classifieds


The migration of the server has had us all holding our breath in anticipation.  I think that finally we can slowly let it go.  We had expected a small drop in SERP and thats what we got.  Down one place for Free Classifieds (currently no 2), down 2 places at number 9 for Free Ads.

Today I shall SEO via an internal link strategy as well as with external links.

I read in the local rag last night about a columnist who has unexpected traffic to his blog, to the tune of 10,400 visits.   This is not huge considering that he has been going for a couple of years.  Also users search for blogs now rather than wait for them to come to the fore.  Blogs are just waiting to be discovered from web masters who will utilise them for their own ends.  Start to get into unique topic specifics and they can feature well in search results.

So should he have taken this as flattery - hmm probably not.  As a columnist he has probably written some good material with a wide range of subjects.  However he has still only achieved small visitor numbers - to do considerably better he needs to look at his blog commenting.  If he does not allow it then he should, perhaps as moderated so that his blog doesn't get spammed.

His good range of material as well as well written posts with specific topics should yield well in Google.  Could be he is not utilising the tags.  Just taking a moment to fill these in appropriately would mean that he would be complying with the specific meta data that Google clearly loves.

So I am off to check out said blog, hopefully I will be leaving a lasting impression on it.

Wish me luck!
