Tracking Hot Keywords For New Blog Subscriptions

Mark over @ 45n5 talks about geotargeting ads and keyword tracking for sales to best optimize your blog and fine tune it for sales. While I was writing a comment to his post, I realized this is actually too large and better suited for a blog post–so here it is.
Question:

Cleaning Up Your WordPress Blog

Remember back in the day WordPress came with a “wp-images” folder? Well I still had that plus a lot more crap in the folders here on SuperAff. Uploading a fresh new theme motivated me to clean up the loose files, remove old forgotten folders as well as do a complete fresh install of WordPress itself.
I [...]

How To Purchase A WordPress Theme

After searching what seemed like forever, I finally found a theme to purchase for SuperAff from a nice young fellow all the way over in South Africa, Cobus. I searched, and I searched, and I searched. During my theme hunt, I discovered a few things to look for when buying WordPress themes:

Window Shopping: I found [...]

a:visited Not Working In Firefox

Oh boy, this took hours of pulling my hair out trying to determine why a:visited was not working on a new theme when viewing in Firefox but was totally fine in IE. Here’s a tip:

Write For The Linkers & The Stumblers

When I ran across one blog post that went something like:
It breaks my heart to see Bloggers Larry, Mo & [...]

How I Took Back My Time From Information Overload

Dave left a comment on an earlier post and he pointed to a cartoon Empress uploaded (how cool is that cartoon!) and he asked for my top 10 blog picks.
I’m really tempted to point them out, but I won’t, only because what’s worthwhile to me isn’t necessarily the best choice for others. What I will [...]

WordPress And Canonical Index.php Fix

How surprised was I to see a newer blog of mine has two identical pages indexed in google:
newblog.com
and
newblog.com/index.php
I have no idea how goog scooped up the index.php since I have nothing pointing to it, but there it was. Up all night, couldn’t find a fix that worked in .htaccess (bork bork bork), but did find [...]
