Wow what a time we had… From meeting a ton of great people to the strip clubs, everything at ASW10 was superb. Now while I could break down each day for you, what I did, who I hung out with and how much booze I drank like some guys have, I’m more concerned about using the connections I made to make more money and help consumers out (by serving them more of what their looking for
) instead of blab to you about it.
But trust me, there was plenty of booze, parties, strippers and even a tiger (ok maybe not a tiger).
The most memorable part of the whole time was actually meeting a lot of the guys I’ve networked with on Wickedfire. You know behind the handles, avatar’s and flaming wars there really are a lot of great guys on that forum…
Check out the blog post from Andrew Wee he goes into a lot more detail if you want more of the ins and outs.
A friend of mine asked me the other day why a niche blog he created wasn’t indexed yet…It had been like 9 days since he started said blog and followed through with a simple indexing process that I showed him. I use the same technique and it works every time for lightning quick indexing, like under 24 hours fast.
So I took a look at it for him and everything looked good. He had all the SEO plugins I recommend i.e. Platinum SEO, redirect, xml sitemap, broken link checker, etc. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong…?

I was thinking so hard about the topic, I skipped over one of the simplest parts…I forgot to check the Privacy page under the Settings tab…duh!
So when that’s not checked off it the ” < meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' /> ” is then placed into the < head > head > section of your index.php page, which of course causes search engines like Google and Yahoo to skip right over your site, and it also notifies hits to robots.txt to send back: User-agent/; Disallow: /
So next time if you’re stuck trying to figure out why your blog isn’t showing in the SERP’s, check out the privacy page!
Here’s a list of SEO plugins I use personally and recommend:
- Platinum SEO
Redirection
XML Sitemap
SEO Friendly Images
Robots Meta
No Self Pings
