I've just posted it as a Tweet on my Twitter page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anybody using Wordpress has got to see this. And while this is Wordpress specific, I think a lot of it applies to any blog, and even web sites in general.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish I'd found this a year ago.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">megaresp</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:56:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524527</link><description>&lt;p&gt;SEO for competitive niches - &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/28rs58" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/28rs58"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/28rs58&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">sarvark (Sarvar K)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:33:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524528</link><description>&lt;p&gt;#WordPress #Seo Mastaerclass &lt;a href="http://andybeard.eu/2007/06/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://andybeard.eu/2007/06/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html"&gt;http://andybeard.eu/2007/06...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">cancunforos (cancunforos)</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:25:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524526</link><description>&lt;p&gt;You've made a good point ..Having a key-word related url does not give importance to a particular site.

I have a couple of questions if your not bored with the subject yet...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The sandcastle pic shows one of the links from category to single page as two way. Is this a mistake?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. I assume date/author based archives are blocked (robots.txt?) and everything else is index, follow, including tag pages?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. What if some posts absolutely need to rank, even if it would  cost other content to suffer a bit (I assume this is quite usual for most bloggers). How would this be achieved? Are the posts that need to rank left in as sidewide links?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Have you since tried this structure in practice? I'm curious to hear how this would work, as it has many unusual decisions (like only third level pages (tag pages) using followable links to link back to index).&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mikko2</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:47:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524524</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Fantastic!

And for the graphs!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are only few SEO blogs I really enjoy reading and yours is one of those. You do have a talent of engaging the reader, and keeping him curious to the very end of the post. Good content and links to resources is, of course, a part of it, but good writing style is also an important factor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since many of your posts are very long, I tried to analyze what exactly makes me read each to the very end (and click on many links in it!). I think that it is  a dynamic nature of your paragraphs - they do not just separate thoughts, but switch focus from displaying facts, linking to resources, to your analysis, suggestions, practical codes, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don't think that you do this on purpose, it is probably 'just' a style you developed over time. And it works so well! This kind of thing is very difficult to do today when most pages receive only few seconds of users time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great job!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lazar</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:07:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524516</link><description>&lt;p&gt;How much do you recommend using custom created meta-tags (description)?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">uGuX</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Nov 2007 11:42:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wordpress SEO Masterclass For Competitive Niches</title><link>http://andybeard.eu/843/wordpress-seo-masterclass-for-competitive-niches.html#comment-12524515</link><description>&lt;p&gt;That's an excellent post for a newbie like me.
