    Excellent presentation! Short and to the point. I also love that is a self working slide show (that means is scalable, you don't need to be there :-p )
    Thanks Joost :-)

    Hi Joost thanks for putting up the presentation, I have to admit I was still a bit hungover from the night before and missed the start so this is invaluable. I thought A4U Expo went well and I look forward to seeing you rank #1 for Irish Clothing now after that affiliate doctors session, LOL!

    Mr Joost de Valk - thanks for sharing your insights at the a4u expo, i really enjoyed your talks. The key points I took from your talk on wordpress seo:

    1) Add YARPP, Yoast Breadcrumbs and Redirection (I think I have the other ones covered with different plugins).
    2) Add 'Subscribe/Join Email newsletter' Call to action after each post (and make RSS button more obvious on the page).
    3) Do Guest Posts, for networking, linking & to widen potential audience.
    4) Use full feeds, not partial.

    Ok I'd better get to work on my blogs.... :)

    Power to the 'Irish womens clothing' site. hero!

    Wanted to share an opinion. Lemme know yours.There is this great free internet connection from http://www.gonuts4free.co.uk which works in the UK United Kingdom England. It was free of charge, fast, secure and very stable. Just by using my normal ordinary modem i managed to install it fast and easy. Great service, no fees and no extra charges.

  • says:

    Hmmm, that internet/modem story is mighty interesting, and wonderfully relevant to the a4u presentation... ; )

    'No fees and no extra charges" - well, it does sound good but... uh oh - wait a second - "The cost to establish a connection each time is 5.00 Pence. The hourly rate is approximate. 90.00 Pence for 1 hour of Internet connection use. That is approx 1 Pound per hour." (FAQ page on gonuts4free) - I knew it was too good to be true...

    Alas, my search for free internet must now continue...

    Hi Joost,

    Great talk. I Mind Mapped it as well as reviewing a new iPhone Mind Mapping tool. Links to the Mind Map are at the bottom of this post - http://www.didigetthingsdone.com/2008/10/16/ibluesky-mind-mapping-for-the-iphone-and-ipod-touch-review/

    Thanks, enjoyed your talk.

  • Jon says:

    Thanks for sharing that, Joost. Great use of pictures! And even though I've read your WP SEO article several times, there were a few points in there that I had missed

    Cheers, Jon

  • Joost, this is great stuff. Thanks for sharing this presentation!

    Thanks for this informational presentation.
    I don't know if Google indexes links inside Slideshare presentations (and possibly for useability purposes ;), you might want to change these links: the texts
    http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
    and
    http://mitcho.com/code/yarpp/ (and a couple of others)
    all link to
    http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace2/
    and
    http://yoast.com/serious-blogging-questions
    on sheet 50 is linking to http://yoast.com instead of the full link.
    This leads me the question; do you know if Google indexes links inside Slideshare presentations? I know they can do Flash a bit better nowadays. And if they do, how could Slideshare rel=nofollow these Flash links if they wanted to avoid getting spammed? Or would they have to rel=nofollow the entire presentation? I was not able to find the actionscript equivalent of rel=nofollow, if there is any. Hmm, getting a bit off-topic here, sorry.

    Thank you, it's a great presentation. I use headspace2 also ;-)
