How do I restructure my WordPress blog without losing SEO?

May 1, 2012 / Dave Taylor / SEO Tips and Tricks, Wordpress Help / 2 Comments

I have a wordpress blog that was using categories in the url structure like this:
/category_name/post_name/
Then I had read somewhere that if you change it to just /post_name/ that it will automatically redirect the old to the new.
It does that, however, somehow Google Webmaster Tools is reporting both and giving us warnings about duplicate title tags, etc.
Do you have a solution for that?

Change in Web site navigation drops PageRank to zero?

September 28, 2011 / Dave Taylor / SEO Tips and Tricks / 1 Comment

We changed our website recently and also changed the menus on it so some of our pages have a different path now. For about 2-3 weeks after the switch we noticed our Google Analytics fell off, then we checked mypagerank.net and out page ranks had gone from 3, 4, or 5 to 0 on some of the pages. Our web designer is being somewhat cryptic about why this happened. Can you explain what would cause this and if our page rank will go back up or do we need to do something?

April 22, 2011 / Dave Taylor / SEO Tips and Tricks, Web Site Traffic Tips / No Comments

I’ve heard that one of the best ways to improve my Google search ranking is to fix anything that’s marked as incorrect in Google’s Webmaster Tools service. Problem is, when I did go to Webmaster Central it says my site’s not verified. How do I verify my Web site with Google Tools?

What is “article spinning” software?

May 5, 2010 / Dave Taylor / SEO Tips and Tricks, Web Site Traffic Tips / 7 Comments

I write for other sites and a friend told me that I should use article spinning software so that I can have a bunch of versions to distribute, rather than write on a one-by-one basis. Sounds interesting, but what is it?
