By Andy Beard | Published: August 8, 2010

Navigational elements on a blog or any website are an important feature, but you should be careful not to take things to extremes which can hurt the progress of your site, both from a SEO perspective and for website conversion.

WordPress Plugin – Custom Query String – UTW Edition

By Andy Beard | Published: August 11, 2007

This is the first release of this modified "classic" WordPress plugin
and is based upon the original Custom Query String by Matt Read which has been looking for a permanent home for a while.

It contains some simple modifications extending the operation to include the UTW is_tag() function.
The changes made are not unique, as they are the same as have been described on a number of Non-english language blogs such as 082Net – a little hard to find if you don't speak Korean, and as I have found in the past, if hacks are not provided as a

WordPress Plugin: Nofollow Those Dupes (WordPress SEO Masterclass Continued)

By Andy Beard | Published: August 4, 2007

This is a continuation of my WordPress Search Engine Optimization Masterclass. It is really the one missing component, other than a complete theme with everything built in, to achieve the linking structures I described in my previous article.

Sandcastles Theme
I am still playing around with my Sandcastles Theme on a test site (based upon Sandbox) – it will be released fairly soon, but not until I have this site moved over onto new servers.
I thought I would release this now so that those who don't want to work with a modified Sandbox theme are free to use it, and most people can probably gain some benefit from it anyway, as it will reduce external links on duplicate content pages without having to block them.
Pagerank is based upon pages and relevant links

WordPress SEO – Siloing vs Massive Ball Linking With Tags

By Andy Beard | Published: June 14, 2007

This is not the definitive guide to WordPress SEO, and I highly doubt I am the right person to write one, in fact I am not sure who would be. That being said this partial guide on a couple of aspects of WordPress SEO might offer a broader perspective on what is possible than I have seen previously published.

Results: Top WordPress Plugins (March 2007)

By Andy Beard | Published: April 6, 2007

Competition was fierce but with only 24 votes, the winner could easily have been decided in the last few hours.

I have checked the ballots and there doesn’t seem to be any scandals – rigged voting would have been news worthy and actually profitable, it just goes to show how honest people in the WordPress community are.

How to Show Top Commenters Only On Your Index Page

By Andy Beard | Published: April 2, 2007

I recently wrote that I don’t like Top Commenters plugins, in fact I used a very strong word… loathe. There are some benefits to introducing Top Commenters to give some level of special recognition, but whatever SEO benefits you think it might offer are discounted by having it placed in your sidebar across the whole of your site including your duplicate content pages.

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.
