SEO
I have been blogging (infrequently) for only about seven months now and I must
say I got more reactions already than I thought I would ever have. Still,
visitor statistics and Google showups remained fairly low. Especially after my
last post, I became quite surprised. When Googling
for “poor man’s NTP”, the first result returned was Kris Buytaerts reaction.
Moreover, my original
article was nowhere to be found in the search results.
This made me thinking…
For years now, my webpage is found by the keywords “Gentoo”, “Macbook” and
“ING”, mainly because of some articles I wrote. But none of
my blog posts seemed to get indexed.
I’m not going into detail here, but after 5 minutes of thinking, 5 minutes of
tinkering with my Apache setup (I removed a 301-detour towads my blog) a little
sed-action later (nanoblogger is great!), Google
seems to love me much more.
Try it! :-)
This post is moot now, as I just migrated my blog from nanoblogger to wordpress (with help of a nice script by themel: http://wiki.themel.com/NanoBlogger2WordPress). basic SEO is taken care of by the All in One SEO pack for WordPress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/).
