Surprisingly, the one thing I get the most attention for from the search engines is something I wrote one brief piece on, namely Raising Red Worms. Here’s all of my results. Note: anything with “10kluke” in it was just me checking.

Recently I found this nifty plugin called Crawl Rate Tracker. It works like magic! The link to see the crawls being tracked is right there on your dashboard, which I find highly convenient. I highly recommend installing this one.

Also, the related post plugin is another handy plugin that can make a big difference in how your links are crawled and indexed by search engines. As Court explains,

Google likes to see a good amount of internal linking in your site. The reasoning behind this is very simple; if there are a lot of internal links in the site, it will be easier for the user to navigate around. For this reason, Google will reward you for having a lot of internal links.

  1. Search engines. Blog search engines like to hear your ping on a routine basis. Once a week is not enough, and too many per day is just spam. A daily blog hits the sweet spot for the ping services and search engines, and keeps the bots crawling back for more.

  2. Friendliness. People who come to your blog do not come to read an old article. They want to see what’s new with you. Making a new post that day (even if it was pre-scheduled) is the equivalent of saying “hello, how are you doing today?” Once their mammal-mind encounters that feeling, they will want to check back the next day to see if you really meant it.
