I’m not an expert on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but when I started this blog I read a bit about it and did a few adjustments to my blog. I did not do this just to get more hits on my blog. I’m investing time writing posts here and therefor I would like it to be available for as many as possible.
I will list some simple tips & tricks that will help improving your rank in search engines.
The first and most common pitfall for bloggers is the duplicate content penalty. Content are duplicated all over the blog and the main page often shows a lot of text. The best way to avoid this is by only displaying the first part of your posts. This is why you find the “read more” link and not the complete posts on my main page. Another thing you should do to help avoid this is only showing a summary in your RSS-feeds. I have also told Googleboot to stay away from my feeds by adding this in the robots.txt file:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /feed/$
Disallow: /feed/rss/$
Disallow: /trackback/$
