SEO, The Power of Keywords and The Slug.

June 24th, 2007 by WebMatrix · No Shared Ignorance Wisdom

In my 5 SEO Quickies for Your Blog entry I referred to the power of keyword in URLs.

When posting, use the post slug in the post page sidebar of WP to create the best url/slug you can think of. Otherwise WP will use the post name.
Example of changed post slug here. Although I did not use once the word hack in that entry, you’ll still find the site over Google when looking for Vista activation hack (somewhere around pos.45)

I started using the number of post views plugin around beginning of April 2007. In the SEO Quickies entry I referred to the entry about the Windows Activation as an example of how to use keywords in the URL and use the power of the post-slug.
If you look in the sidebar, in the block most read you’ll notice what I meant months ago. Although it is an entry linking to an external page, the power of keywords such as , , has boosted this insignificant entry to the most read entry on AIFN.

And that even without having any incoming links to that entry or comment on the entry, nothing more than the power of SEs.
