The RDezine SEO Experiment
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- On Ask it is still outdated (almost a month…)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….
