You might remember that I am doing an experiment with All-in-One SEO Plug-in for WordPress. If not, read that post here first.
So, I wanted to check in… two days later (and I’ve been barely blogging as often as I was) and the results are already looking pretty good.
Before
Two Days Later
So, we’ve increased our rank by 200,000 or so in the past two days and people are spending 0.1 seconds longer on the site.
Very cool… Stay tuned for more results as time goes on.
In my last Blog Design Bootcamp 2.0 class, the question was asked about how much SEO I do and which plug-ins would I recommend. Now, I’ve never done a day of SEO in my life aside from just using WordPress tags and categories that make sense and writing on topic. Seriously. Never spent a dime.
Interestingly, my websites never seemed to suffer due to it. Check out http://www.bsetc.ca on Alexa:
Now, since this blog is already established, I’m not going to try to work any Alexa magic on it with All-in-One SEO. In fact, I’m going to use this very blog you are on right now. This blog is new — not even three weeks old (I just imported a lot of old posts to it from other blogs in an effort to consolidate my blogging) so here is the Alexa rating screenshot for THIS blog.
So, for the next month, I’m going to implement All-in-One SEO and see where my Alexa rating is in one month. Then, I’ll check it in three months. Now, to be fair… I’m going to have a lot to do with my own Alexa rating through the use of tags, categories and frequency of posting here. I know this and will take this into consideration. I also have Google Analytics so I can see how people are coming to the blog and rule out some of my own traffic generation via social media and the like.
If you use this plug-in, what have your results been like? Are you measuring or testing traffic?
