RDzine.com

Last week I started the RDezine.com experiment. Until now I worked on other companies’ websites and never actually took the time to work on my own. In mid October I decided to optimized my site’s meta tags and keywords and to fix few links that didn’t work. I also added some “nofollow”s to the portfolio section but I did not work on sculpting because most of my pages were not crawled. My website is out there for about 5 years and has been changed once a year. It is listed on DMOZ and few other directories that copies DMOZ or WHOIS information but no other websites. So here are some of my changes:

• change of title
• change of pages file name
• add link navigation separated from my Flash one
• created meta tags for each page
• change in content (“New York City”==>”Baltimore”)
• applied for editorial changes on DMOZ
• creating this blog as a folder (soon I’ll add it as a sub domain)
• move domain registrar from yahoo business to godaddy

Here is what happened when i use “seo baltimore” search phrase:

• On Google, I spent almost a month in Google’s Sandbox until last night: page 12
• On MSN I started on the 4th page from the posting date and move to the 3rd couple of days after
• On Yahoo I started on the 3rd position on the 1st page just couple of days from posting
• On Ask it is still outdated (almost a month…)

to be continued….
