Twitter – Who Has The Most Followers?

Twitter, to me, was like texting – something I rarely if ever do. But there’s no arguing the fact that Twittering is the latest BIG Web 2.0 application to simply explode. Seems the world is divided into those who Tweet and those who don’t. Internet Marmite!

Personally I’m happy to add the ubiquitous “I Tweet will you follow” icon on a sidebar of my blogs but only because I’ve got the Twitter Tools plugin installed…

Meta Title and Description length – Optimum?

When I first looked in to the MSN Loophole thing it reminded me of basic ‘on page’ SEO techniques generally and while doing that I bumped into one that we should use every time we make a post but usually don’t.

I’m talking about a post or page’s META Title and Description and squeezing the right amount of letters ( and spaces) in there for maximum effect.

As usual, being lazy and in a hurry, unfocused and scatter-brained, I’d made the mistake of forgetting the basics. But,Google is ALL about the basics!

So, What’s Your Linking Strategy Kimo’sabe?

OK you’ve got your money sites in place, Tonto old friend,  and they’re (at last) indexed in MSN – hopefully in Google too!

Your blog network is set up too, automated content has kicked in and your LinkuBaiter script’s code is installed in them all ( both the one in the sidebar and the footer right?). OK, now’s the time to get to work…

A flash of white, a cloud of dust and a hearty, ” Hi, Links, AWAY!” ( Who was that masked linking chap?)

Caffeinated Content Issue Resolved For Swappers

As in all new ventures some glitches appear and are resolved with a bit of thought. One I came across today was with the Caffeinated Content plugin. My last blog swap partner had, as requested, uploaded his version of the plugin to the blog I was to use…

Ninja Nun Review: The ZipPoster plugin

As I read the sales page of this plugin I was thinking, “Thank you Lord!” Here was something that appeared to do what RSS2Blog does but at a fraction of the price and that sits in my blog’s dashboard…

What would I do with YOUR blog?

OK we’ve decided to do the deed! I’m going to grant you full Admin privileges to the WP blog on my hosting account ( while retaining the master admin rights myself in case we fall out!) and you are going to do the same for me for a blog sitting on your server.

First thing I’d do is make sure plugins were working OK, the ones stated on the blog swap request, and you had included a reasonable theme or two – I don’t know if Search Engines rank down blogs with the default WP theme but it sounds like the sort of think the clever buggers might do doesn’t it?
