Having a secure server was far more important to me than having everyoneâ€™s theme look pretty today.

I, for one, approve of this choice.

Like my approval means anything.

Comment on Volume Generally Begets Traffic by ronzilla

Another way to get some traffic (though not necessarily increasing a regular reading basis) is to post about what people are searching for.

For example, if I post about some local news story as soon as I see the headline, and Google indexes me (as he does regularly), I’ll show in search results for the non-competitive search term. Since it’s a non-competitive term, I’ll rank near the top, and people will click and read.

The interesting thing about it is that (as far as I’ve been able to tell), Google seems to take the logic that if my site is applicable for 1 search term I rank well for, then chances are good that my other postings are applicable to search results.

In the last several months, I’ve seen my traffic (visitors and search engine referrals) grow exponentially, and it’s (in part) because I’m ranking well for a lot of different terms in Google.

Also try to remember that we’re never quite as interesting as we think we are. Ask yourself, “Why would anybody WANT to read my blog?”

If you’re writing posts about having a fun weekend with your friends or how much you like coffee, the answer is probably that there isn’t much reason to read your blog if people don’t know you.

Also, consider including pornography in your posts.

so I think I’m starting to get the look I want… now I guess I just have to personalize it a little bit more…

and if anyone wants to come up with a better title, please feel free to throw it out there.

You know what else might beget traffic, Geof?

Having the RMFO-Blogs tyrant change the alt text on one’s link to something other than “(Inactive)”.
Just sayin’.

Well, you are one of the people that have asked. I know it’s hard to get off the dime, but the best thing that I can tell you is to try to have realistic expectations for your writing and understanding that your improve your voice and find your audience with practice.

Comment on Adding Quotes As Customizable Content by Sacred Lobotomy » Retaining XHTML Validation with wp_quotes

Sacred Lobotomy » Retaining XHTML Validation with wp_quotes — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 09:14:02 +0000

[...] The new quotes plugin I wrote about for the About blog came with one tiny little problem - no more Valid XHTML 1.0, which is irksome to a weirdo geek like me. (Especially since I’ve been so proud of this theme’s valid XHTML and CSS!) So a bit of mucking around in wp-quotes.php, and a bit of reading on the validator page, revealed a simple solution, which I give to you now. [...]
