It’s September 2016 as I update this old SEO article, just 3 more months before 2017. Simple concept, let’s speculate where SEO will be in 2017? I’ll be honest, I’m not sure where Google will go SEO wise in 2017. Obviously there will be more of the same improved. So BrainRank/Hummingbird will get better, they’ll probably take more mobile responsive design into account. Since I first wrote this the Google PageSpeed Insights Tools test has got harsher, really hard to stay in the green. I even got some warnings about AdSense ads being too big on smaller device sizes and had to modify Stallion Responsive mobile CSS rules to load smaller ads on smaller devices. I look forward to Google […]

In the Stallion Responsive Theme I develop there’s a built in Gravatar caching feature. It’s a WordPress SEO performance feature, makes a WordPress site run faster because the Avatars (images) are cached locally: they are downloaded from Gravatar.com and saved on the sites server. Why Cache WordPress Gravatars Locally? By storing the avatar images locally it means we can optimize the Gravatar images (I use EWWW Image Optimizer plugin to make them smaller), Can also set their expiration dates to more than Gravatar.com does: Gravatar.com sets them to just 5 mins which is no where near long enough. Having Gravatars set to expire at 5 mins throws up loads of Leverage Browser Caching warnings on WordPress Posts with comments when […]

If you are a user of the Stallion Responsive WordPress SEO Theme do NOT install the WordPress SEO Comments Plugin discussed below. Stallion Responsive includes a far more SEO advanced version of the WordPress SEO Comments Plugin that’s fully integrated with other theme package features (for example comment titles). See the Stallion Responsive SEO Super Comments Tutorial for more details. For all other WordPress theme users the WordPress SEO Comments Plugin below gives Google and other search engines access to your comments in a format that allows search engine spiders to index and rank comments in their own right. Download WordPress SEO Comments Plugin from WordPress.org plugin repository. February 5th 2016 Update v2.2 Release: Fixed a couple of bugs. Had […]

Going to review the SEO rankings of a person (Nik0) who tried to damage my reputation on the Warrior Forum, Nik0 runs an SEO backlinks service at seobacklinkservice.com. I target a lot of SEO SERPs to try to convert to Stallion Responsive SEO Package sales, Nik0 accused me of conning people into signing up for a one year subscription SEO service. I don’t offer any SEO services beyond selling a WordPress SEO theme and that’s a one time payment for free updates and free support, NOT a subscription service (Nik0 from the Warrior Forum is a liar). Warrior Forum thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/search-engine-optimization/1007732-new-backlinks-how-long-full-seo-value.html SEO Backlinks This is a little payback, see if I can get ranked high for the SEO Backlink Service […]

Update September 2016: No need to change the content below, still up to date, just adding the Make Money Fast article SEO advice links perfectly in to the relatively new Google RankBrain algorythm. RankBrain is part of the latest Google organic search engine algorithm, it’s Google’s latest attempt at AI (artificial intelligence), or to me more precise machine-learning AI (it’s not true AI). To simplify, Google has an AI that can guesstimate what a user was actually searching for. Here’s a simple example, humans know a search for Make Cash Fast is the same as Make Money Fast, Make Dough Quick, Create Wonga Speedily etc… well so does Google. Back to the make some wonga SEO lesson :-) In this […]

I’ve experience using ClickBank: As a ClickBank customer/consumer : buying ClickBank products (many of them). As a ClickBank affiliate : promoting ClickBank affiliate products. And as a ClickBank publisher : selling a product on ClickBank. I review all three uses of ClickBank below. ClickBank Reviews My first experience of ClickBank was as a customer/consumer, my eldest son (15 at the time: over 5 years ago) persuaded me to play World of Warcraft, we had a World of Warcraft account each and set about leveling our characters the hard way (didn’t have a clue how to level :-)). My son found a World of Warcraft leveling guide ebook and we bought a copy, it was sold through Click Bank and didn’t […]
