Gotta Love the WordPress

This is a follow-up to the recent article, “When the Ranking Gets Tough – The Tough Get Ranking.”

You just have to love wordpress! Four days after swapping my circa 2001 flash/HTML Breht.com site out for a WordPress 2.7 Breht.com site. I am back on page one of Google with two listings from this site, and my linkedin page is toggling between page 1-2 of the google results.

breht.com results as of 12/18/2008

As soon as the WorPress All in One SEO pack gets working in WordPress version 2.7, I’ll see what I can do about getting some other pages on page 1, and also bumping up to the very top.

However, for now it is good to be back on page 1 with multiple pages. NOTE: There are 8,540,000 – 8,600,000 (it varies) Google pages that are returned when search for “Breht” in quotes. Three hits on the first page is a satisfactory result.

Next step, get my Xing,com profile completed, and see if I can bump that up to page 1 also on a first name only search.
