Yoast: Onderzoekje voor @Webrichtpijn gedaan. 5 gemeentes met page speed score onder de 20 (van max 100)... Later artikel. 
SEO, the acronym for Search Engine Optimization, is my job and my hobby. I write a LOT about SEO, mainly talking about WordPress SEO, link building and on-site SEO. SEO is a rapidly growing business on the internet, which shows by the amount of people writing about it. My SEO posts here will mostly be technical in nature, and talk about optimizing specific platforms like WordPress and Magento.
SEO Jokes
My colleague Roy made me laugh today, and not a little, over this very geeky SEO joke: Me: “Hey, we’re ranking for duplicate content.” Roy: “How often?” Now, if you can laugh about that, you know you’re doing good as an SEO and probably bad in your personal life :). Any more SEO jokes you [...]
Yahoo SiteExplorer API giving “wrong” results?
I was working on adding a new metric to the domain info tool, being the “deeplink ratio” (the number of links to other pages than the homepage, divided by the links to the homepage * 100), when I found out Yahoo’s SiteExplorer API is giving me wrong results. It returns way less links than the [...]
Technorati redesign
Dave Sifry posted on the Technorati blog that Technorati has updated it’s design. And I actually really like it! There’s one thing though… My colleague Roy pointed at the source code, especially the tag cloud… Come on guys, you can do better than that!
Blocking your site’s search results?
Recently, Matt Cutts posted about search results in search results, as apparently Vanessa had updated the guidelines about this a bit after some uncertainty as to how you should handle your sites search results. The guideline now states: Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don’t add much [...]
Cloak your sitemap!
There’s a discussion on Webmasterworld as to whether XML sitemaps are a welcoming door for scrapers. Especially with the new autodiscovery feature for sitemaps around, it becomes very easy for a scraper to find any and all URL’s in your site. So in my opinion, they are a bit too warm of a welcome. Tedster [...]
nofollow is NOT meant for editorially reviewed links
Imagine you’re like me, and you like WordPress so much that you write plugins for it. People start writing about these plugins and they, of course, link to you. You see these pages writing about you show up in your referrer stats and of course you go and have a look at what they’re writing [...]
Affiliate links? Cloak them!
John Chow did a post on how to hide your affiliate links… Of course the only proper way to hide affiliate links is: cloaking them. I’m thinking about building a WordPress plugin for that specific purpose. Anyone know of a proper affiliate link cloaking script?

How to get Google to crawl your site faster
Yet another question out of my referrers to answer: “how can i get google to crawl my site faster”. There are two possible reasons why Google is slow in spidering your site. The first might seem obvious: if Google doesn’t find enough (quality) links pointing to your site, it doesn’t think your site is very [...]
Why I blog
Yet another blog meme has been going on all over the web, and I was guessing it was going to be my turn sometimes in the near future. Steven Bradley (aka vangogh) tagged me this time. You might remember the previous “5 things you don’t know about me” blog meme, this is sort of the [...]
