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.
Think Visibility II was a blast
Think Visibility by sk8geek So I’m starting to wake up from Think Visibility, after flying back yesterday to dive straight into a family party.

Julian Sambles from the Telegraph is up on stage here talking about Newspaper SEO.

Hearing him talk about how they’re optimizing the Telegraph, and [...]
User Contact Fields in WordPress 2.9

I’ve also always been in favor of the use of CSS Image Replacement for [...]
What are “custom taxonomies”?
WordPress, with version 2.3, introduced the concept of Tags. As described by Wikipedia, a tag is “a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information”. This meant WordPress had a hierarchical way of classifying information (categories), and a non hierarchical way of classifying information. As far back as in 2006, people were discussing [...]
SEOBook SEO Toolbar
A while ago Aaron released his SEO Toolbar for Firefox, and while I’ve been using it I’ve never actually shown it here on my blog, even though it’s become one of my default SEO tools. As this toolbar comes with a slew of features that are probably best described by just showing them, I’ve made [...]

A short while ago I moved over to a new email program called Postbox, and I’ve been absolutely loving it for it’s labelling, archive and search functions. One of the people involved with Postbox is Sherman Dickman, whom I knew from when he was still the Product Manager at Mozilla, so I decided to interview [...]
