It’s a strange thing that I came to Wordpress late- indeed the only reason I did was on the recommendation of a friend and fellow Manchester based web designer Craig Hammnett who published an interesting example of how effective his blog was – he targeted Manchester Freelance Web Design as an SEO term and within 10 hours was on the first page of Google.

This proves a few things – firstly blogging helps enormously on the SEO front – consistant changes to the home page blog and external link references in the form of free templates etc. just work.

Secondly the SEO agencies charge a fortune for absolutely not much more than the advice I’m going to give here this being seo is not rocket science – links work and constant blogging works – the more relevant content you push out the better. If this ties in with your keywords and meta data then your on to a winner.

My next experiment will be with some content rich mini sites – all pointing to this site, based on key references of Web Design, Development and location specific Macclesfield, Manchester. I may even do some auto posting based around API data although I’m not sure if this will be seen as relevant.

Well it’s not like we couldn’t see it coming but Noel has finally quit Oasis.

Noel quoting on Oasis’s website states

“It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

“Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.”

Well fair enough Noel – how you have stuck it out with Liam for so long  is a mystery to me – I guess the chance to continue the rock and roll lifestyle and earn a few quid on the way goes some way to helping.

Still more time to go and watch the glorious Manchester City, eh Noel?
