Lowering the Price for Site Analyses
I’ve made a pretty drastic change this morning in a manner that I normally do not do. I usually only raise my rates and never lower them. However, I’ve significantly lowered the rates of my website review this morning, going from €750 to €495. Why I made this change? Simple: I wanted the site analysis, [...]
Google & Privacy…
Google announced some changes today, in that they’ll enable SSL for all logged in users because of “privacy concerns”. I think that reason is bull, and wrote a guest post about it on SEObook.
(Collaboratively) Translating Yoast Plugins
I’ve been bugged for over 2 years now by people who wanted me to make it possible to translate my plugins into their language. Only a few of my plugins so far have had proper internationalization options, mostly due to me being lazy busy with other stuff. This is now changing, rapidly, though! Last friday [...]
rel=”next” & rel=”prev” for paginated archives
Google is once again showing why standards compliant building might be very beneficial for SEO. They have started to use rel=”next” and rel=”prev”, both part of HTML4 and HTML5, to recognize archives and paged articles. Just yesterday I was having a discussion with Nathan Rice, on of the developers of Genesis over how one should deal [...]
Reviews, Testimonials and Surveys!
This is a quick post to let you know thatI’ve started doing plugin reviews again, starting with Gravity Forms and I’ve also started with reviews of WordPress themes, starting with a review of Genesis. I’ll be reviewing themes regularly, but only if they work with my WordPress SEO plugin, to avoid confusion. Today is also [...]
WordPress SEO Theme Compatibility Survey
Quite often now, I get the question which themes work well with my WordPress SEO plugin. The honest answer is that I know only a few by heart because I haven’t tried them all. Now I know I have a quite active user base for my WordPress SEO plugin and therefor, I’ve decided to try [...]
VPS.net issues: what’s up and what will they do about it?
When I posted my interview with Terry Myers about cloud hosting, I wasn’t really prepared for the backlash that would come in on that post. Quite a few people responded and a lot of them weren’t too happy. On top of that, there were several instances of downtime in both the AMS and several US [...]
Discuss: The Page Title in WordPress Themes
WordPress is a content management system. It allows the user to create and edit types of content, be them post, pages or custom post types and classify them with taxonomies, categories, tags or custom taxonomies. Almost every bit of content a WordPress site outputs is easy to control by the maintainer of that WordPress site. [...]
Are ads preventing your posts from being shared?
I like sharing links on Twitter, I’ve been trying to find a good way of doing that without overloading people, and think I’ve found the solution in Buffer App, which allows me to buffer my tweets. As a result of that, I’m tweeting a lot more links. What I find though, is that I’m reading [...]
Why not updating your Core, Themes & Plugins is Stupid
This morning I woke up to 3 email messages and 2 Skype messages from people telling me my site was hacked. I’ve had better mornings, as you can imagine. Luckily, through CodeGuard, I was able to determine what had changed in the last period. You know what? It was my own stupid fault: I hadn’t [...]
