Weekend Talk – Wordpress Blog and Ping

February 9th, 2008 • Althaf • 0 comments • Related • Filed Under

The other day, I was reading a blog post whose link I received in my email. It was about the Pinging technology within Wordpress and the serious flaw it contains. The author writes that while Wordpress has a great feature to ping all major services including Google, it also has a serious flaw that can get your blog banned from any or all service.

What happens is this – When you write a post and click the PUBLISH button, Wordpress pings all the service you have listed in the Admin panel and informs them of your new post and each of these services in turn crawl your blog and index your latest content. While this is good, there is also a serious problem. If say, 10 minutes later, you go ahead and edit the post and then click PUBLISH again, Wordpress goes ahead and pings all the service again, as if you have published a new post.

Review Thursday – Wordpress SEO Plugin

February 7th, 2008 • Althaf • 12 comments • Related • Filed Under

Last week and the beginning of this week, I had penned a couple posts on Search Engine Optimization rules according to Dan Thies. Dan stresses a lot on Google Pagerank and has developed his First, Second and Third Tier theory as well as advanced techniques like the Third Level Push and Circular Navigation for better Pagerank control within a site. I know it sounds like Rocket Science. Initially I felt the same too. Terminologies always confuse. In short Dan’s techniques helps you gain Pagerank on any page you want to and avoid the pages you do not want, while getting you better rankings in the Search Engines.

For many of us, basic Search Engine Optimization itself is a pain in the rear. The technicalities involved in the game can be very challenging and at times, sensitive. At a stage like that, to think of someone like Dan Thies and his SEO strategies can simply be overwhelming, if not scary.

I have some good news for you. You better believe it when I say Good news. But, before I proceed, as always, please read my Affiliate Review Policy. I do not review to make a quick buck, but to help you, my readers, make an informed decision.
