Online marketing Calgary

I like to use WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS) for modern websites. Any time I deal with a WordPress-based website I use a set of tools that help me in my SEO efforts. One of my main goals is to develop a set of rules for all future blog posts. Below is a base list of WordPress Add-ons I use.

• Google XML Sitemaps: allows you to build a Google-friendly sitemap as well as adds auto sitemap update functionality to your blog.
• Headspace2: A great meta management platform that makes your blog SEO-lovely. "All-in-one SEO pack" is similar platform but I like Headspace and I stick with it.
• Redirection: Understanding and using redirects is very important to your site's SEO. Redirection add-on simplifies redirect management.
• Robots Meta: Robots.txt file tells search bots what to index on your site and what to leave private. Rules specified in this file can also stop spam bots from indexing your site.
• SEO Slugs: This add-on removes stop words from your post URLs making your posts easier for search bots to digest.

The list above is a results of what I learned managing RussianHerald.com since 2007. For an excellent guide to optimizing your wordpress installation see Yoast.com.

As I've been using Twitter more often recently I realized that Twitter is posting ahead of my life. Here's what happens: I post on twitter, (because I created a twitter feed right into my blog), I see that the message I just posted on twitter is 7 hours old. I checked the time standard my twitter is on, I also checked the time on my WordPress install. Everything shows proper Mountain Standard time but my tweets are still happening ahead of time. If somebody had this problem I would greatly appreciate if you can share the solution you found. Feel free to use comments on my blog. On the other hand, it's pretty cool, the way things are, I'm living in the future. I would assume that I can change things before they happen :). This is crazy.
