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 Framework. [...]

That’s right, I just got my squidoo lenses about 5% more traffic within a week. The result was great at first, then traffic went back to previous levels and now it’s beyond the growth I saw at first. I think it’s fair to say it worked:
How? By optimizing my tags. I find that this is [...]

There’s a new rel-nofollow policy out. Where it used to be that pagerank got distributed around all the followed links on a page, now it gets distributed around all the links on the page and what’s on rel-nofollow links just ‘evaporates’ as Matt Cuts puts it in the interview I linked to above. Matt Cuts [...]

Evelyn Saenz, one of my all time favorite lensmasters – because she makes just excellent lenses – is not really into SEO. I think she’s only just catching on (sorry Evelyn). Which makes her question relevant for a lot of people of course (what would a blogger do without newby questions?)
She’s just discovered the one [...]

Some people never sit still. My grandmother for instance, although she’s now in a wheelchair, is constantly moving about. Half out of the wheelchair, standing up to get something, sitting down again, rolling the chair here, rolling it there. That’s actually very healthy of course: she should keep moving about, as long as she doesn’t [...]

I’ve had several online conversations lately with people which have clarified my own position about online marketing. I have long had the policy that I am only putting energy into blogs, social networks, bookmarking services etc. if they have followed links. That is, other than twitter. I prefer blogs that are self hosted, but that’s [...]

This is the story of a lens that gets most traffic. Today it gets, as you can see, about a hundred visitors a day. That’s enough for a permanent spot in the squidoo top 2000, and with people voting on it regularly it’s enough for a regular spot in the top 100 as well. It [...]

Linkbait? Linkbait is material that is put online not to make money, but to get links. Then when the links are there, the page in question will just link to whatever commercial content the owner wants to have rank better.
Inkserotica and AJ got into a discussion about how little lensrank squidoo help lenses usually have [...]

What ranks well MUST have a better link profile than what doesn’t? Right? Wrong! I came across this misconception on some squidoo blog or other.
One of the ways to find relevant pages to get links from is to just Google that phrase in Google and ask links off everybody who ranks in the top 100. [...]

An SEO review is not complete without a look at links.
Yesterday I tackled on-page SEO factors: what AJ can do on her lens to make it most likely the search engines know what it’s about, and which serps (seach engine result pages) it should show up in.
However, in a competitive field like weight loss on-page [...]
