The SEO Book of WordPress Blogs

Posted by Mihaela Lica as News, SEO Advice

The SEO Book of WordPress Blogs is finally ready. Thanks to the efforts and dedication of my dear friend Lillie Ammann, Writer & Editor, this book is now error free (as you all know I am not a native English speaker) and available to download (pdf) free.

Once again, I’d like to thank all of you who offered to proofread the book. I’ll not take more of your time, by sending the already edited (by Lillie) version. I am confident that if there are any errors you’ll let me know. And I thank you in advance.

As I said yesterday, I will not be able to blog so often this week. However, I’d like to encourage you to download the SEO book and use the comments submit form to send me your comments/ observations / critique.

Mig,

I wish your SEO book had been available when I first started blogging. I would have avoided a lot of mistakes. After a year of blogging, I’m just now understanding that I should be paying attention to SEO. The e-book is an excellent resource, and I intend to put several of your suggestions into practice.

To Mig’s readers:
There were few errors to correct, but I was so interested in learning about SEO that I might have overlooked something. Certainly if anyone who downloads it finds an error, please let Mig know.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who blogs on WordPress.

I’ve read through most of the book and it’s really great! The perfect place to start when you are new to Wordpress, as me Thanks a lot for this, especially since it also helped me work wise (the tips on headlines are really great).

I am planning to start documenting my Wordpress experience a little, but I will refer to more technical aspects, such as setting up the account. For the rest, I’d rather link to your work, which is more than anyone ever hoped for when contemplating blogging techniques.

Thank you girls.
Let me know if you find any other errors (like dead links or links that not work, etc).

Wow! What a fabulous tool! I am going to name my permalinks differently.

If I fix it now, will it affect previous links to my blog? (I don’t want to break any existing links.)

At least I’ll know what to do on my new blog.

Laura, if you change your permalinks, you lose all your previous links. You don’t need to change that anymore. Just do the other optimization.

Nice job, Mig. I know commenting etiquette asks for lengthy thoughtful comments but I’d like to forgo etiquette and simply give a succinct, one word review:

Awesome.

Don’t worry, Ian. Comments, when meaningful, can be as short as you like. Any words from you mean a lot.

Are you writing for Blogger as well. Or should i shift to wordpress. Nice resource.

Hi Dio,

I don’t plan to write for blogger, because, although I use it for some of my blogs, I don’t consider it a reliable platform. However, if you need any help at all, I’d be glad to assist you.

You are doing a great job with your blog already. The only problem (which will cause many of your pages land in the supplemental results) is that you use “Fine Art of Blogging) as a title for all the posts from this category.

As if it was in my head Did you notice that I have started giving different headings to different post, sensing this problem.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was really wondering why you’ve started changing things. You could edit the rest of the entries too, it is not too late.

Thank you KB! I had a feeling that the links won’t work. There must be something wrong with my Adobe PDF writer. I fixed the problem now and you’ll get a copy of the book via email! Once again, thank you!

Mihaela,

I missed this gem of yours when you posted it on June 12h. Luckily my Google search brought this up today. I haven’t finished reading yet, but can tell its packed with some very clever info. Some of these things I knew already (e.g. permalink info) but the detail you’ve included on changing themes, etc. is awesome! No one knows everything, and I’m constantly learning.

Good job!
