Introduction To Ultimate Tag Warrior | Lorelle

By Andy Beard | Published: February 20, 2007

Lorelle has posted a great introduction to Ultimate Tag Warrior. She covers almost all the basics on what makes UTW my favorite plugin.

She has also been reporting on feed stats. Now whilst I don’t want to be accused at looking at her “details” again, if you add her Wordpress.com subscribers to her Feedburner subscribers then her total is approximately 2500 subscribers. I am sure she also gains a lot more readers through various other interfaces on Wordpress.com who don’t use a feed reader.

Branding & Name Recognition

Matt Mullenweg is well known for being the “#1 Matt” in the search results, and can tell people “Just search for Matt” in Google to find his blog.

Lorelle is now in the same situation, actually she is doing better than Matt. Lorelle now own the first 4 results in Google for “Lorelle”

There is less competition for Lorelle than Matt, but it is still quite an interesting legacy.

Hmm, there are less pages in Google with “Andy” than “Matt”… I suppose anything is possible.

    This is great. Thanks. I’m sitting down to finally install UTW tomorrow so this should be helpful in squeezing out its abilities.

    Too funny! You’re trying to start something here, aren’t you? ;-)

    BTW: The comments policy thing is interesting, though painful to use. How about a link back to the last page visited with a refreshed page view so only those who understood what I just wrote could leave a comment. :D

    Hi Lorelle

    I will be adding a link back to the referring page, but deciding on the best way to do it – probably just use HTTP referrer on that page

    This blog is one of those “work in progress” things, , and if I change things bit by bit, I can measure the results.

    p.s. you forgot to do a tutorial on how to create your internal tags page – I might do one if you have something else planned, it is quite confusing in Cristine’s instructions.

    Andy,

    Last I looked links to me cover the first two pages of results in Google, bar one or two links to other people.

    Of course, that’s on my full name which is pretty non-competitive :)

    You have 6th based on just forename so you are almost there.

    Your spelling of Alister is less common than Alistair, so give it a few more months and you are there.

  • RAP Bank

    I have just signed up for RAP Bank myself - call this a mini-review.
    It seems to be one of the smartest ideas for a long time as a great way to consolidate 100s of affiliate programs under a single entity for promotion.

    It is also one of the best implementations of WordPress I have ever seen.
    It is not without its bugs, as this is effectively pre-launch. For example I just found a bug in the keyword based search RSS feeds (yes RSS feeds for any term will be hot), but it looks like they might be onto a winner.
    Check it out - signup for the basic service is free.

    >Affiliate Program

    P.S. It is not immediately obvious who is running the site, but looking at my Paypal receipt (yes I signed up for Vendor Plus) I believe the site is run by Bill Ortell From Rap-Extras.com who is RAP certified and does the membership add-on that is highly popular.
