OK, I’ll try it again with backticks.

Note that the issue is not the wrapping of text around the image but that I can’t put the image in a separate paragraph, which is what I want to do.

Hi,

* The Google and Yahoo link: features no longer function, nor have they for quite a few years. They effectively disabled them because they were being abused by SEOs. Try MSN Search for that, but their function is still somewhat disabled.

* If I were you I would have ditched the domain after it was blacklisted, or at least given up on SEOing it. No one knows about long term penalties that might be applied after a site is de-listed and re-listed.

* For the trackback thing you should be looking for other blogs in Technorati to blog about.

* Note that all the above is to make it succeed as a blog and subsequently in terms of SEO. This should bring ripple benefits to your site down the line in terms of SEO (assuming you aren’t being penalized). And anyway, you need content to attract search engine traffic and a blog is a fairly easy way of building it.

Are you going after any keywords? Honestly, blogging probably won’t help you significantly with ranking well for keywords, since you never know how the other people are going to link to you.

Basically, I want suggestions for what images to put in the header. What images would work well to suggest advertising in a general sense? For instance, https://www.upmarketmerchant.com is about credit card payments and has credit card logos. https://www.upmarketseo.com is about search engines and has search engine logos.

One more thing about PR: even if your site is X years old, any new page will still only show PR 0 until the next toolbar update.

I blogged about this thread here; it really got me thinking since it’s a bunch of issues that come up a lot.

As for should the blog be in its own directory or on the homepage, that depends on one thing: is there anything else of value on your site aside from the blog? If the blog is the only important thing on your site, by all means it should be on the homepage. Google and the other SEs give pride of place to the homepage, so it makes sense to have the lion’s share of your links going there, as well as the focal point of the site’s content. Don’t just have one of those sites, like Matt Cutts, where the homepage is just empty except for a link to the blog. It’s a waste of a homepage.

1. With Trackbacks, the point is that you catch the interest of the other blogger and he or she then links to your blog in a new post on the subject. You’re right about comments and Trackbacks that show up as comments: nofollow will prevent there being any SE value. So you have to have something in your blog that will catch the interest of the other blogger enough to make them want to post about something you’ve written and also link to it. Something controversial without being needlessly provocative is usually best.

To implement the Trackback, when you write the post, paste the other blog’s URL in the Trackback field of the post screen. Also you can simply link to the other blog in one of your blog posts.

Yes, you do have to find other relevant blogs to do this. It doesn’t have to be a net detective; as long as they are writing about something you can also write about, it’s fine. Net privacy is a big topic a lot of different people, and bloggers generally, write about, so that might be one to try.

2. I’m not sure why the toolbar was going up and down on you; it might be that there is a PR update underway. Your PR is NOT going down from 4 to 0. But PR in and of itself is no big deal. In fact, if you insert your site’s URL in your profile as your website URL, you will likely get a PR 4 just from that. Since PR is so easy to come by, it’s not worth as much as it used to be in SEO terms. You need a certain baseline (say, 4), but since everyone has it, it’s really not that big of a deal. And you can find plenty of PR 4-5 pages ranking for competitive keywords, so once you get to around PR 5, you don’t have to worry much anymore about PR. Instead, you need relevant links and content.

Is there a “flag this post as spam” system for this board?

Funny how there is so very little spam…maybe it’s the lack of sigs…

Heads-up on Google PageRank:

They only update the toolbar about 4 times a year. The next time should be sometime this month. Your site will show PR 0 if it is new, until the next update.

PageRank is somewhat overrated however.

Interesting subject.

I think to get more traffic with a blog the key is to do the trackbacks. You have to comment on other peoples’ blogs and then link to them.

OK…that makes sense, I think…

It’s just usually link spam involves anchor text. This doesn’t. Without anchor text, the link is not so valuable from an SEO standpoint–not enough to justifying signing up for an account.

Of course, if he keeps posting and posting in new threads after you’ve already critiqued it, I guess it is…in which case, the post should just be removed?

Didn’t you used to be a mod, k?

Oh, I just saw the category links formatting. What theme did you base this on? Maybe you should just go back to the original CSS attributes for the category links. But partly that’s a matter of taste; they’re scrunched up but not actually overlapping, at least not in my browser (latest FF).

The footer and the sidebar are overlapping, but I’m not sure that necessarily looks bad…different, yes…but not bad I don’t think…

1. Wow! A WP forum plugin! Where’d you get it? How is it working for you? Why does your blog/site have a forum? Are you aiming for more of a full-featured website rather than a forum?

2. Anyway, as of this moment I don’t see the formatting problems the others talked about so maybe you fixed them?

K, you’ve given me a lot of help on these boards so I respect your judgement. Why is it spam? Or did you edit it from a formerly spam comment into a non-spam one?

I guess I’m a little touch-y b/c somone wrote marketing spam! on one of my posts here asking for an opinion much like this guy seems to be doing…which is what this thread is for or not?

As for the site–did you create that theme yourself? It looks cool. I’m not sure what the point of the site is except I guess it’s a blog?

1. my question is can you suggest an image that represents advertising in the abstract (but not necessarily a negative way like popups or something).
2. huh? now that’s not understandable.
3. what? the site’s not got a single ad on it. At any rate what you wrote was, flip, mean, antagonizing–in short, a flame.
4. huh?

Hi,

OK, maybe I didn’t make it clear…WordPress comes with a ThemeEditor and a PluginEditor. These require that the files be writable. What folders need what permissions? Surely they don’t all need to be 666’d for those things to work? Wouldn’t *that* be a security issue? Yet when I’ve tried it with the server-permissions anything less than world-writable, the built-in admin editors didn’t work.

By the way, I signed up with a new host that’s dedicated to WP, and they set everything to 777 by default!
