I’ve spent a great deal of time in the last few months trying to understand how search engines work, and how sites get indexed. In my last article, I recommending that the XML Sitemap generator for Wordpress should be installed on sites to help with search engine crawling. On this site, Google [...]

Dropping Technorati Rankings
Sunday, February 17, 2008
/ Around The Web, Blogging, Search Engine Optimization

This has been a bit of a mystery for me over the last few months. I’ve slowly watched my technorati rating go from about 180 down to where it currently is, sitting snugly at 156 (although it was 159 yesterday). Considering it’s been climbing non-stop since last year, I’ve been a bit confused [...]

Commission Junction Advertising Failure

Commission Junction Advertising Failure
Saturday, February 16, 2008
/ Blogging, Search Engine Optimization

As you can see, my little advertising experiment with Commission Junction is pretty failtastic.

Which is strange, because the ads are fairly targeted based on a few specific, popular pages of mine. I’m not a big fan of advertising to tell you the truth — I ripped Google Adsense off here a [...]

I’m not entirely sure if this is a new feature or not, but I use analytics all the time (and if you don’t, you should promptly head over and sign up for an account), and I don’t remember seeing it until just a few minutes ago. It appears Google now has a new analytics [...]

/ Blogging

One of the changes I made on the site the other day was the inclusion of wordpress related entries plugin when viewing single posts. Unfortunately wordpress has completely overhauled their folksonomy system in the 2.3 version, and not all my posts are tagged properly. In fact, I’d say only about 20% of them [...]

There were a few things with my theme that had been bothering me for some time. Tonight I managed to take an hour or so out of my evening and clean a few of them up. The first thing I did was shrink the items on my sidebar a bit. I [...]

/ Blogging, Humor

Well, a few people came up to me recently and told me that they encountered a blog posting today about my #1 spot when you search for “Vancouver blogger” on Google, and how the blog owner was planning a Google coup-d’etat against me before Northern Voice in just a few weeks.

To be honest, I could [...]

Well, well. Lookie what we have here.. Somehow, Google is in a state of flux. My top #1 position has indeed been usurped, but thankfully I still have a few weeks to get it back.
I’m not going to get too excited about daily changes, but I definitely don’t want to lose [...]
