Not long ago, back around Christmas 2015, I did a rant on my post “You Can Become A Full Stack Developer In 1000 Years” (I’m not going to link, for fear that Google will rank higher) and damn … Google ranked the post right up there with all the good stuff. It was really just a rant on all of the “questionable” content that has stacked up over the years for any subject you Google, making it ever harder to find what you really need … and I became part of the problem!
Today I’m going to use the keyword “WordPress SEO”, in hopes the same thing will happen! This time I actually have something pretty important to say about the subject. It’s no secret of course however, no one really cares to talk about it, as it then gets ranked and Google takes action.
Just yesterday I read an article about how a couple of “dudes” did the A.I. thing with the Google algorithms and decided to release the results. Great … now Google will take action and change everything again to keep us on our heals.
On the “heals” of that came a “Search Engine Land” post about the power of Good Relevant Content and Good Honest Back-links … big surprise! However, don’t look to harness that power with a WordPress Blog … no can do!
I’ve outlasted everyone that I know Blogging. Ture, I’ve abandoned most of my Blogs, but I’m here today! And I’ve worked at Great Content and Great Back-links and ………… nothing!!!!!!
If you look for “Make Money Blogging”, there I am at 1,941,338th position! How cool is that??? Just surf the relevant links for the next 15 years and you’ll find me … trust me! Needless to say, I ain’t making money Blogging!
It’s only when I rant that I rank with a WordPress Blog!
Someone who I can’t even remember now paid me a hundred bucks to make up some cheesie website totally based on HTML. I did what I do and … damn … the thing ranked. W…T…F… ??????
I tried again and I ranked again … I tried again and again and I ranked again and again! Well color me happy! After 10 years of bashing my keywords against a wall with WordPress … I’m now able to rank … with HTML!
Today I just got through reading a post by “Trond Lyngbø” titled “10 WordPress SEO Questions That Took Me 10 Years To Answer!” over at “Search Engine Land”. At the very bottom of question number 6 there it is … “My own experience suggests that, for a blog, it is best for SEO when you install WordPress in a subfolder, like yourcompany.com/blog.”
Well … color me burned !!!
