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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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!

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!

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 :-)
