In reply to Pinar Tarhan. Smart moves Pinar. I go through my posts every few months and do more cross-linking. I also use the related posts plugin for Wordpress.

I have also started to rewrite the old blog posts and results are quite satisfactory and seo friendly…because it will not only improve the quality of blog posts that were low in quality and may be not search friendly.This practice will also help to keep away your domain from the affect of Google Panda update penalty.

You know. I will go a step ahead and admit something shameful. In the initial days of blogging when i was an amateur, i actually did several copyright infringements and copied text from Marketing books to paste it in my blog and get search engine traffic. I slowly realised it wasnt worth it. Out of 500 posts written, the ones that get traffic are the ones i have written myself (around 200). The solution – its been 3 months and i have been rewriting all my posts just so that i can be original and i can be more seo optimized. Else these old blog posts were bringing down boh – my credibility as an author as well as my search engine rankings. Hoping that these changes i am doing have a long term positive effect on my blog.

In reply to John Soares. I can promise you- any swing-related dance is as fun as it looks in the movies:)

In reply to Pinar Tarhan. My partner Stephanie and I are finally getting serious about learning some real dance moves, likely swing.

In reply to John Soares. They have a jazz band? It is so cool :) I have been dancing Lindy Hop since October, and it is danced to swing, jazz and blues.

I link to my related older posts a lot. In addition to adding links to the appropriate anchor texts, I also add a “Also on….” section to the end of my articles, so my readers can access all of the articles on a particular subject all at once.

But of course when I do some link-checking, I realize too that some of the posts were in fact half-assed, due to my being a newbie in the time. Some were not optimized, wrong anchor texts were chosen, or the blog article needs a redesign… I do infact have a lot of posts to reboost, so I try to do a couple of posts at a time. Otherwise, I could be on the blog for weeks and not be able to finish:D

In reply to Shakirah Dawud. The SEO capabilities of Thesis are one of its main attractions. I'm not an expert on blog design, but people who do know a lot about these things point out SEO as a top quality of Thesis.

The results you found are staggering! I’ll have go back and see if there’s anything I missed. And I’m curious, because I’ve seen Thesis (a lot), but never realized it had an SEO appeal. What does it have that other blogs don’t in that area?
