The two keys to search engine optimisation are:
1. Content - that is actual text on the site. Not pictures or flash or anything like this but text
2. Links to the site

Links to the site can be established in several ways:
a. Free directories
b. Paid directories
c. Paid link advertising (Google Ads)
d. Reciprocal linking
e. Editorial link.
Of them all the last is the best. It is quite simply someone linking to your site because they like the content or site or whatever.

You can of course you some sort of brute force linking by visiting sites and leaving comments with a link back to your site. It doesn’t work very well. Or you could simply build a second site that links to your first. This second site will still need content. So why not just put the content on the first site?

Wordpress Reports - Google Analytics and Feeburner

This is a brilliant plugin. Quite simple really - it tracks your Google Analytics and Feedburner reports without you having to login. They are contained within your Wordpress install. Makes the whole thing so easy to view. Thanks Jo.

From his site:

WordPress by default doesn’t come with any sort of web site reporting tools (and it really shouldn’t). So if you want to know how many people visited your site, which pages they viewed, or where they came from, you’ll need to either rely on your raw web logs or use an online tracking service provided by a third party. There are many different third party web tracking services out there, but the two free and popular third party solutions that I highly recommend are Google Analytics (for web traffic) and Feedburner (for syndicated traffic).

Google Analytics for Wordpress

This is the first beta release of a WordPress plugin that can add Google Analytics to your website without you needing to code one single set of ’s.

I have it running on this site and it seems to be working just fine so far.

If you want your site to get noticed some seo types tell us to get a sitemap. Google and others do seem to like them - quite how a search engine likes things I don’t know?!

Anyway, get this plugin from Arne Brachhold and get a sitemap. Then you need to head to Google Sitemaps, get an account and then register your sitemap.

Who knows it might help. Doesn’t hurt though. For more information visit Search Engine Watch.
