Here is what it says about  my top lens: http://www.squidoo.com/spirituality-quotes Estimated value of ‘spirituality-quotes’ Current Lensrank: #104 Average Lensrank: #85 Worth $160.62 over [...]

Squidoo modules that aren’t good for SEO

by Spiritual Marketing on May 9, 2010

NOTE: in the coming month, squidoo will be changing their nofollow policy. I’ve been thinking about Squidoo and SEO lately. Well, what else is new, right? Turns out I’m not the only one. One of the issues is that there are quite a few useful modules where squidoo nofollows links, though you’d expect the links [...]

WordPress as a CMS: showing only child pages of page in menu

by Spiritual Marketing on March 30, 2010

I’m working on a CMS for a large site: over 700 pages. I am using a horizontal menu for the main navigation, but when people are deep in the hierarchy, it makes sense to show them the children of the page they’re on as well as the parents, BUT NOT the other main level pages. [...]

Two online friends of mine asked (or got) advice by me recently about optimizing their blogspot (aka blogger) blogs. Blogspot is a much simpler platform than WordPress. WordPress has two types of pages: posts and pages. Blogger has only blogposts. WordPress has two ways to organize your posts: categories and tags (and an extra option [...]

This is one of those ‘blogging to remember’ posts. I’m working on using WordPress as a CMS on a site that has 700+ pages. In order to properly organize things, I need to be able to mix ‘news’ (aka the blog part) with the ‘static’ pages (aka the pages). In other words: I need a [...]

Pagerank sculpting: putting rel-nofollow in your own links- DON’T

by Spiritual Marketing on February 24, 2010

Misinformation about SEO always ticks me off. It’s usually simply old information being recycled because the people involved don’t keep up with the SEO blogs. In her latest post, AJ said: The link back from the Tiger Clipart lens to the Year of the Tiger lens has been changed to “no follow”. The reason she [...]

Link wheels – getting yourself links & blogging for profit

by Spiritual Marketing on February 21, 2010

Alright: spam alert. This tactic can seriously cross the boundary between creating original content that adds something to the web & content that is only there to make your other content rank. That said, building links is part of any web publishing business. And looking at the backlinks to Katinka Hesselink the other day, I [...]

Thematic or Thesis – choosing a WordPress Theme

by Spiritual Marketing on February 19, 2010

This blog is made on WordPress, using the Thematic Theme. Thematic comes with 13 widget ready areas (most of which you’ll never use), is coded well for SEO and flexibility of design etc. All that is why I started using it about a year ago, and yet I’m leaving it behind… Thematic is a Theme [...]
