Wordpress and Google rankings.

sniperhiga · 07-22-2007, 03:44 PM

My website promoted really well and it rank good on Google. For some reasons my posts rank really bad. I can type whole sentence from random post and it doesn't appear in top 100. Other pages (homepage and regular website pages rank really well with popular keywords and have huge traffic.
What should I do to increase importance and rankings of my posts?
Do you think that links to random posts plugin will help?

We tried to help you with this site back in April and May. We explained to you exactly why it was not SEO friendly and how to fix the issues. Respectfully, if you didn't make the changes then, why would we go through it with you all over again? Why not go back and study (and actually implement) what was already explained?

The blog is still very poorly optimized. You still haven't even made the titles SEO friendly. ToddW spent a ton of time giving you step by step advice to fix everything. Did you implement any of it beyond fixing your www issue? Or, did you even correct that?

It is not what i am asking... read question.

I ask about specific problem: All pages rank well exept posts!

Basically i would like to find someone who used to have the same problem and found solution by doing something like linking posts, using robots.txt to block archive and categories pages, promoting rss feeds, or something else...

I'm not stupid sniperhiga. I read your post. No matter how many different ways you find to ask the question, the answer is going to be the same. Until you better optimize your posts you are going to continue to have issues. Your blog is not well optimized which is why your posts are not ranking well in the search results.

Look at the one right next to your name here.
http://www.manhattanservice.com/netw...earch-engines/

First it uses an incredibly long url which unnecessarily includes the date. Why on earth would you use the entire title in there? You get to CHOOSE the slug used for every single post.

Now take a look at the title.

You claim to be an SEO specialist so surely you do not believe that is a search engine friendly title, do you?

As mentioned previously, your blog post titles do NOT use SEO friendly titles. As an SEO Specialist, certainly you realize that starting every single post title with your blog title is not going to help you in the search results either. You asked me before how to fix this and I directed you to the incredible tutorials on WordPress, but you never made the changes.

ToddW told you exactly how to handle the robots.txt file to help better optimize your blog.

You want people to give you the answers, but you are not willing to learn how to fix these issues. I am just not going play this game again with you again.

What about:

or

or

All this bloggers use title in url. My url longer only because i prefer to add date. Also my blog in subfolder, that's why it contain word "network"

try getting some links pointing to your individual post's

Well sometimes when we start thinking that "we know everything" and stop listening to what others are trying to suggest/advice....its the time when we should stop asking questions. Because no matter what others suggest, on the back of your head you will think that everyone is wrong and you are right.

It is little hard. I mean, i added tool which generate html code for every single code and make webmasters to copy and paste link easy (Something like YouTube has)

Do you think that rss feed submission will help more???

I really like the way that sounds. Related to your problem: I suggest going inside some on-page optimization. Look again at all titles, metas, etc, before doing anything else.

Try to make those links to posts more relevant. The URLs are not long, they are just not optimized. I suggest making them more relevant, this is what Google is all about.
