Im writing this as a reminder as much as anything.

There are a couple of plugins that are ‘must have’ for title tag optimsiation

Reordering the tag  so that the name of the post comes 1st and your site title comes second. the ideas is that the words at the front of the tag more more important than at the end.

And then taking th etitle tag optimisation thing to another level there is  http://www.netconcepts.com/seo-title-tag-plugin/

This allows you to edit title tags so they can deviate from teh title of the post you are writing. I hav’nt used this one yet, but i expect i will in time.

If you at all read webmaster forums you’ve likely stumbled upon a posting stating that a good code to content ratio is imperitive good search engine rankings. While in theory this sounds good, however in applicatation it is pretty easy to see that this is a fallacy, at least in terms of the major 3 search engines.

Doing a search for “Google”, as a an example in any of the search engines will point us to Google’s home page. If you’ve visited Googles home page, you’ve noticed the severe lack of text, and upon viewing the souce code for the Google home page you can see that there is much more code than text.

Ok, so Google is a monster; we’ll choose another subject. Try searching for “Auto insurance” in Google. It’s a pretty popular search term with almost 44 million results in the SERPS - and the number one page, geico.com, has very little text on it: again there is significantly more coding than content.

I guess to make my point, we can take it straight from the mouth of Vanessa Fox of Google as reported by Web Pro News:

“This point I’ve seen crop up so many times, and each and every time I say - it does not matter! One of my first sites was created in Frontpage with absolutely shocking code and it ranks fine, even for searches with 100 million+ results.

The good word = Google ignores code to text ratio. . . “

So - take is straight from the mouth of Google, and do your own research and see the results. Do a search for a very popular search term in any major search engine, check out the results and view the source code for these top ranking pages. You’ll find that in terms to text to code, it really doesn’t matter in regards to your websites rankings.

The LA Times wrote an interesting article talking about the success that Realtor Bloggers are having in this ever changing real estate market. Take a moment to check out the article.

Many agents think that locking down the MLS data, password protecting it and requiring visitors to login is a great way to gain leads. I don’t agree.

I agree with what Larry Cragun said in the above article:

“There is a new wave growing. Agents that blog. We believe you will eventually only use an agent that blogs. Why? Because . . . if they blog about a community they must know it. . . . You also learn more about them as they blog.”

Agents will get leads by putting their thoughts and opinions out there on the internet. If you write about the areas you work in, talk about the changes, your thoughts on the market, etc people will come to you for your opinion and in turn give you their contact information. That is a LEAD!

Microsoft is getting ready to launch its next Server operating system. The release candidate has just been released to beat testers and I believe its now on MSDN for subscribers to download.

I’ve downloaded the RC, but have yet to install it. I’m planning on putting up a Virtual instance next week so I cna play with it over the holidays. Windows Server 2008 will come with some cool new features. Virtualization is built into the OS. I looked at virtual servers with Windows 2003 but was not really impressed. Its a decent system, but does not compare to the features available with VMWare’s ESX server. Of course it also does not cost what VMWare costs.

I’ll be watching this feature closely to see if perhaps I can utilize Windows virtual server for some of my virtuals and save a little money. Of course a lot on rather this will work out is how well the virtual features in Windows 2008 will support Linux distros. If Microsoft can deliver on its promises for the System Management platform then I may utilize this technology more than VMWare going forward, but we’ll just need to do some testing before I make that decision.

Another feature I’m really looking forward to in Windows 2008 is full support for Vista machines and Vista policies. I’ve held off on deploying Vista in my enterprise because of the lack of management capabilities for the OS in Windows 2003. There are some really cool features in Vista such as Network Access Protection and the Bitlocker, but without a method to manage these features from a central location then they are not all that useful. I’ll be testing these features out in the lab over the coming months and I’ll make sure I post the results of my findings.

The fine of 899 million euros is for Microsoft’s failure to comply with a 2004 ruling and the “unreasonable” prices Microsoft charged developers for the information they needed to make software compatible with Microsoft products. Now the question: will Microsoft just pay up and go on with business as usual, or will it open up?

I just learned this, Air is Technology, thanks to Office Depot.

I had an office depot discount coupon and was trying to get to the dollar level where the coupon would save me a few bucks.

So, along with my office supplies I decided to throw in some compressed air to help clean my computer equipment.  At the register I was told that “Air is a Technology item” and therefore would not apply to the office depot discount coupon.

Now what causes air compressed in a can to become a technology item?

Does Al Gore have stock in Office Depot?
