WordPress SEO Video

27 January, 2009 Joost de Valk 146 comments, leave your own!

I spoke at A4UExpo London last year and will be speaking at the upcoming A4UExpo Amsterdam. One of the sessions I had in the last A4UExpo was the session on WordPress SEO & Optimisation strategies. That entire session was taped, and the A4UExpo guys have been kind enough to allow me to embed it here and show it to all of you, so, please, enjoy!

If you're more of a reader than a visual type, try my article on WordPress SEO.

    Great video Yoast! I learned tons. Are there any good WordPress theme templates you would recommend, that are good for SEO? What do you think of the Revolution theme is it easy to tweak? have heard of uniquelogdesigns.com templates which is used by some big marketers?

  32. By Andrei Wed, April 8th, 2009 at 00:38

    Very interesting post, Yoast :)

  33. By Johnluffa Sat, April 25th, 2009 at 00:39

    I actually enjoyed learning SEO today and the importance of it. - So much Plugins to install though...
    Hopefully, I shall start to see results of these updates.
    Wished I saw this tutorial before I started out on WordPress. I would recommend the following steps to a newbie:

    Step one - Get a WP Theme.
    Step two - Get your house in order - Make your site 'search engine' and 'visitor' friendly...SEO it.
    Step three - Network & Make friends.

    Thank you Joost

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Hopefully you are busy getting things going over at Studiopress with Graham - but if you have a second do you know if the video is posted anywhere else on the web??? I'll be back!!

    Thanks
    Antonio

  37. By Joost de Valk Fri, June 12th, 2009 at 20:28

  40. By Hendri Sat, July 18th, 2009 at 14:25

    Can anybody tell me, how to download this video. I really need but my internet connecton to slow to see this video. Please upload to popular sharing hosting like mediafire or rapidshare. Thanks

  41. By Simple Themes Fri, July 31st, 2009 at 08:15

    Thanks for posting this video. I'd love to hear you if you ever visit the US.

  42. By MediaGround Tue, August 4th, 2009 at 09:43

    The video service you've uploaded your video to is the worst I have ever seen. It didn't load with FireFox, and video download tools couldn't download it too.

  43. By Download Video Wed, August 5th, 2009 at 06:12

    For users having problems with the video, you can download the video using http://clipnabber.com
    copy the URL of the video ( http://vimeo.com/5130637 ) to the text box, then click Nab Video! then use FLV download link to download it. The video is a 148MB MP4 format. Try to view it using an FLV player, or download some codecs package and install and try to view using Windows Media Player. If you don't see the video frames and hear just the audio, try some other video player because the downloaded video isn't missing anything.

  44. By OpenSource Thu, August 6th, 2009 at 03:26

    If you believe in open source then you should not mind providing the video as download. I can't believe that you disallowed my comment that was intended to help users download the video for their convenience. But maybe you believe that as part of the SEO work you don't want users to download the video so that each time they want to view it they go to your site :D

  45. By CanadaBoy Thu, August 20th, 2009 at 17:36

    Hey Joost, thanks for the video, it was awesome. Why didn't you finish your first degree? (Out of curiosity). Anyway thanks for the tips.

  46. By jpondry Mon, August 24th, 2009 at 18:55

    I learn more from this 1 hours with you on your video than I did in the past 3 weeks from other sources. Already bookmarked your site to follow deligently. Next to learn more on setting Google Alerts and that twitter ego search you were talking about. It's people like you that inspire newbies like us. This morning I was on the verge of giving up on my blog with no traffic. Now I am inspired to give it another try.

  47. By Kay Sat, October 3rd, 2009 at 15:00

    I used to hate Wordpress but now i liked it so much because i learn many important skill here.
    Thank you so much. Keep it up.

    Sir, you need to update your perspective about "nofollow", I need to know about your opinion about it, now that Google changed the way it looks at it.

    see these please:

    What do you think we should do? about comments, login, disclaimer pages, internal linking in general, and external linking.
