Kittens are Growing

October 30th, 2008 Brett Reilly Comments off

Sorry about the obvious title, but they have grown a up and are now walking around aimlessly, when I wake or get home from work, they rush after me to say hello, all via for my attention, its great to be worshiped, the ancient Egyptians must have thought this was cool, they thought they were gods.

Heres a pic of the crew, the two near the mother are planning something the other ones is trying to look cool the camera .Also did some black and white and tried some image editing, which I found I am not the best at.

DIY SEO

October 29th, 2008 Brett Reilly 1 comment

Have you paid money to a company claiming that they can get you listed in Google in less That seven days? have you paid someone to resubmit your website to the larger search engines so you can supposedly get visitors from these search engines.

Thinking that you paid them to do nothing at all?

Step one.
Make sure your site has original content.

Step Two.
Pay someone or if you have time, do it your self (the whole purpose of this) to submit to at least 10 directories paid or free a week.

Step Three.
Use A site map, get an account with Google, to access Google Webmaster Tools validate your site add site map, Google will usually grab your site map within a few hours, it will then, depending on how many pages you have, index your site fairly quickly withing seven days larger sites will and mostly take longer.

Step Four.
Everyone follows Google, so within a month or so Yahoo, Ask( Google back end ) and then MSN about 2 months later and the rest just follow.

Step Five.
Wheres the optimization? Have a meta description or a decent size catch phrase for each page, Keywords only if you want to lose 50% of your clients who search, most top ranking sites in Google only have one or two keywords or none at all per page. Google will do a quick math solution based on the words on the page and say yah or nay.

Step Six.
Keep The content fresh, Unlike this site, Usually where I experiment, if its a static site, take your time to word it right from the beginning, as the words on the page will matter, or find a really good wordsmith, but remember its your clients and not the search engines that pay you remember that they need to read it too.

Step Seven.
Don’t Forget Step Two.

The rest of seo is simple change little pieces at a time and be patient.

My Rents Going Up

October 28th, 2008 Brett Reilly Comments off

By $10 a week

Is this fair?

Is this justified?

Was I expecting it?

Yes to all three it fairly cheap at the moment but now it is up there with everyone else.

Current prices are rising to meet demand for chas flow to meet demand for Greed.

Lucky I may be able to afford it. :)

Pay a few debts of over the next year and buy a house where the interest rates rule how much I pay.

What difference does it make?

We can all go live in a cave. :)

Become nomads?

Google Analytics

October 22nd, 2008 Brett Reilly Comments off

I’m not sure if it is really that useful, but today after fiddling around with my websites I think I have found that nice little median, where AWStats and analytics actually have something in common.

With this site I was using Ultimate GA and getting about 2 to 3 visits a day where AWstats was giving me between 300 – 500 visits a day, doesn’t sound right does it, well yesterday I changed it to a basic plug in, and if that didn’t work I was going to manually put it in the theme, but it seems to work.

Now Google analytics is giving me a more accurate picture, I’m happy to see I have readers, all you RSS readers I thank you for reading. Now I can say that I am getting about 100 readers a day, more when there is a new post, the rest are spammers and bots.

I also Noticed today that Google has changed the css file and changed the look slightly of the dashboard it looks pretty. Don’t forget to comment or buy me a coffee, I take Paypal.
