Scribe SEO Made Simple

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving ranking and visibility of a website or webpage in search engine results.  It has gained a notorious reputation as something that is too hard, too complicated, overwhelming, and just plain not worth the colossal headache it will give you.

GREAT news! Scribe SEO, has made this process very simple. Now you can achieve higher search rankings and increase the targeted traffic to your site and it’s as simple as one, two, three! Keywords, Content, and Links!

My Experience:

I have been using this for a couple months now, and I can honestly tell you I can usually get my page optimized in two tries!  I thought I was doing something wrong because I thought it couldn’t possibly be that easy!  But guess what I found out?  It is that easy!  Before Scribe SEO, my eyes would glaze over at the mention of this acronym, and I may have cried inside a little…..but just a little.  Now it really is as easy as one, two, three!  I am also definitely seeing results in my traffic!

WP Networks + Plugin

Network: an interconnected or interrelated chain, group, or system. Anytime you can network anything together, it’s a good thing, especially when it has a lot of flexibility. This is exactly what this Plugin is…. convenient and flexible as there are many combinations and permutations of URL schemes you can come up with.

How about this….have you ever wanted the ability to assign a child site to a child site? Now you can using Networks +. This plugin provides the interface to set up another network within the install you already have. You may choose to run this additional network off a different domain entirely or a subdomain – it’s very flexible.

The networks will continue to share plugins and themes. So, you can have mydomain.com with user blogs/sites, and also myotherdomain.com with user blogs/sites, all living within one installation.

An example:

“One client we had wanted city.state.clientdomain.com,
where the city sites were visible blogs, and the state sites
were also visible. This provides three levels (domain,
subdomain and subsubdomain) of blogs/sites in the entire
network. Each state was created as a new network.”

Slideshow Plugin

I am a very visual person and when I flip through a magazine or look at a website, I tend to pay much more attention to areas or pages with images.  If a picture gets my attention, I may read more about it.  If there is no image I tend to pass it by as if it never existed.  This is how my brain is wired and it seems to not to want to change.

Having said that, you can see how very important it is to have a sleek way to show off photos on your site, especially a series of photos using a slideshow!  If not…people (like me) may pass by as if your site never existed.  So why not try to get the attention of as many people as possible?
