An Exercise in Search Optimisation for a Blog
I’ve always thought that an “out of the box”, CMS type blog such as Wordpress would be hard to optimise for search. The default link and code structure is not at all search engine friendly and since I usually build my sites to be accessible to search bots couldn’t accept a CMS as a solution.
However I recently purchased “Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP: A Developer’s Guide to SEO” by by Jaimie Sirovich and Cristian Darie, [Wrox, April 2007] and after reading Chapter 16, [WordPress: Creating a SE-Friendly Blog], decided to install and configure Wordpress to as the framework behind SearchMarketingTips.com
So not only does this site offer information about Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing but is itself an experiment in organic SEO, an exercise in Search Optimisation for a Blog.
