3.0 Geophysics: SEO Decisions

2011 means an important step in Geofumadas, after 3 years of working as a Cartesian subdomain. We have discussed this with Tomás, whom I thank for the opportunity and with whom I hope to maintain important contact at this and other junctures that we have encountered.

Cartesianos, despite the damage it had at the time due to viral spam, has been a valuable contribution by Tomás, although after several years only Txus and I have insisted on an itinerant basis. But that's the way things are, after being under the limitations that Wordpress MU implies, which no longer exists as such but as a generic extension called Multisites. Some template adjustments have been made on the fly, but it takes time that sometimes you don't have and some are no longer simple adjustments.

After search engine optimization (SEO) ideas are thrown in, issues appear that must be addressed and include decisions that can limit growth. Between these:

  • Use plugins for optimization. Until now, I hadn't taken advantage of tags and metatags; doing it when you have 900 entries is crazy unless you use plugins that facilitate these types of routines. Most of these plugins do not have support for the current version, adapting them takes time.
  • Massive adjustments. The so-called trends are variable in time, for example AutoCAD 2012 is now not a topic of interest, but in 3 months it will be and make an update of this type to that tag without a plugin or script in the database ... The saint protects us.
  • Tweak the crawling robots, which are usually in the root directory. Not only is it a click, there are plugins that do it but after tests I see that there are dynamic things that Google and Yahoo do not understand.
  • Friendly urls, with which a subdomain is penalized by search engines. More with the little name that the blog carries, which in itself is not friendly.
  • W3C validation is now simpler, because in a simple click you will find the list of errors. The problem is that some errors are of the style, so you have to touch the css directly and in some cases in the template.
  • I wish the template adjustments were once, the most complicated is to put scripts that a few days later have to be removed because they penalize the ranking.
  • Social networks. I don't believe in all of them, but at least I know that not joining Facebook in a controlled way will hurt in 2012.  "If the Mayas do not beat him this time."
  • Linkbuilding. Another roll…
  • Anchor text. Wow, how many things to learn.

So yes, among the plans in the coming days will be the migration to the domain Home That some time ago comes walking but without optimization so that Google does not realize that it is a replica quasi-exact.

Other than that, Nancy has finally finished two years of English version entries. It took him a world to understand my caliche, and for a while we were about to announce it in version vulgar. That will be another domain, with which I hope to reach a more complex market and which I did not dare to reach without having a spam filtering tool in comments. Askismet does a great job at that but having it in Spanish has shown me that Anglo-Saxon spam requires seeing with more than one eye.

It's hard to say this… but that's the way it is. In a few days they will get used to the redirect and again skin, theme that has brought me something entertaining part of the vacation and these days of January. The important thing, Geofumadas continues, Name that owes a lot to Cartesians, Cartesia and all its community.

Yes, many plans for this year.

  1. Congratulations g! For the change, without doubt a hosting and own domain gives you many advantages and allows to continue growing.

    Regards!

  2. Hehe.

    I believe that you are the only person who had the opportunity to read, reread, interpret and understand each of my publications.

    My regards my friend.
    If they employ a translator who has mastered the technical subject and is planted in the folkloric context until they understand what a technological poet was trying to say ... Let me know.

    😉

  3. And say it, dear Don G! Because, from what comes to mind at this moment, among the topolillos, the chiripiorca, sleeping in the zacatera, the chirrio, chingastoso and de palo as well as those excellent examples of Central American food such as: nacatamales, seafood soup , the pupusa, the pita, and soft drinks like the pozol, you can definitely say that:…. On the scale of 1 to 10 I will still be 4 in terms of knowledge…. 🙁
    Maybe someday write the avatars of this unique and unique experience that translates Geofumadas!

    And what about learning to know a new world that includes listening to Def Leppard and finding out what the Chillica legend is about, for example. Well, something else, my friend, something else.
    Greetings from Peru
