More WordPress SEO

Some time ago I started writing a big old post about the plugins I was using to optimise my site for SEO. I got distracted. Badly! I ended up getting sidetracked and creating a splog based around politics that aggregates a bunch of feeds together and displays them on a new domain – not something I’d recommend in a hurry, as it has also meant that this site has had a spanking in the rankings as well, and I have very effectively lost the completion with Cole for Bristol SEO.

Bristol SEO update

October 24, 2008

My little experiment to see if I can rank for Bristol SEO seems to have paid off. Despite not having done any work on my blog since August 12th, and having a grand total of one link to the blog, which is in fact an internal link, jamesmorell.com ranks 8th in an unersonalised Google.co.uk search [...]
