Why I left Blogger

Posted March 20, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Here is just the latest reason why I prefer Wordpress. I have two blogs that have not been possible to migrate to Wordpress. Today I tried to write a new post and this is the response I got when I clicked the bookmark link.

“We’re sorry…

… but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.

We’ll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

If you’re continually receiving this error, you may be able to resolve the problem by deleting your Google cookie and revisiting Google. For browser-specific instructions, please consult your browser’s online support center.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we’ll see you again on Google.”

What the h*** is that about?

I would be very upset if my search for help with Atlantic City hair loss treatment delivered the same results. Hair loss is a sensitive subject and its sufferers will be easily put off in case of any queries like that.

Plugin Makes Your Blog SEO friendly

Wordpress is such a user friendly blogging tool and some great plugins have been developed to make it even better. The All in One SEO Pack Plugin for Wordpress is one of my favourites, because it does all the search engine optimization (SEO) work for your blog in a couple of simple steps, and will help you make more money blogging. If you do not know much about SEO, no need to worry: the plugin asks you a few simple questions and you include your information in boxes on the ‘options’ page once the plugin is installed. If you are a complete newbie to SEO then you can download this excellent free ebook, SEO Made Easy, that will give you a good understanding of search engine optimization. Maybe you think that organic SEO sounds a bit geeky? Is it boring to talk about your SERPs position? Well there is nothing geeky in getting lots of free traffic from the search engines and Making Money From Your Blog!

The All in One SEO Pack plugin sets up all the key on-page ranking factors. For me the cleverest part is the way it deals with titles. The SEO plugin for Wordpress changes all page or post titles from the Wordpress default style, which is not search engine friendly as it starts with the main blog title. So every page has the same initial title. The plugin puts your post or page title first when seen through a browser bar. This is a handy tool – I spent ages changing the Wordpress code manually to do this, and now I find it is available in a simple plugin. Remember, when you download this plugin: it can seriously improve the money you make by boosting your search engine rankings.
