They need to tell people about the link, and they need to tell search engines the relevance of the link. I wrote about this in 2008. Why is it still happening?

Additionally, I want to tell search engines that crawl my blog every day to see your links, and, further, contextually link up to three keywords that describe what your blog or website is about. That latter part is what search engine optimization means. I used to do this for you.

When a search engine robot visits this blog and wants to know how different posts and pages are interconnected, a plugin creates that sitemap. Some popular plugins that other people swear by, such as for search engine optimization on a blog , are not used here because the Thesis theme (which is used here) includes that functionality.

Taxonomy is the branch of science involved with classification, and blog taxonomy is the study of organizing your blog for both search engines and human beings. The words and links in these sentences are indexed by search engines, aided by the context of how words describe links and the relationship between all of the links across the blog.

My privacy settings go a step further where I exclude the profile from search engine results for my name. The group is similar to the page, except the former is hidden by search engines and the latter is seen by search engines.

Every time you wrote a comment with a link, search engine robots were informed and followed the link to discover where it went. While this reciprocal relationship improved both of our sites’ search engine result page ranks , it also told internet marketers that this blog was an easy target. DoFollow and KeywordLuv are now gone.

The shelf life of your blog post is as long as people link to it, comment on it, and search engines give it high rank. Another takeaway is to stop using social media for sharing big thoughts — and to blog about it instead. ” If you don’t know if you should be blogging, or need help setting one up, let’s talk.
