New Drawing Up on Smokeback.com

This time of my left ear. Just as an experiement I am linking this image from the post to see if that makes any difference to it appearing in search results.

Following on from my crap left over from blogger post is the labels tag has now dissapeared from google, along with all my images! there still some cached under 2009 which I have now asked to be removed.

Traffic is down a fair bit due to the images dissapearing from search results, but on the plus side, this does give us a opportunity to see if linking images increases their search position.

Even more Crap Left Over From Blogger to WordPress

Following on from more crap left over ... I am still getting a fair chunk of traffic from google cached pages of my site, which I imagine is annoying for the visitor, as all they will get is a list of broken links.

The Image on the left shows the top ten landing pages for November. Anything with a .html does not exist anymore.

After much searching around, I am trying out the google URL removal tool. Which you can find in Google webmaster tools under crawler access on a non obvious tab.

As a test, I am trying out both a URL and an entire directory. According to the help I also need to update my robots file as well. All in all my experience of google webmaster tools has been highly confusing and I am left currently at the moment with a pending status in the hands of google.

I guess its now a case of watch this space...

Wordpress blog not appearing in Google

I started the Dead Adventurers Club back at the end of September 2009 and I have been wondering why it has not yet been showing up in google.

I did read somewhere, that google ignores blogs with less than ten posts. I do not know if this is true or not. However, Looking into ways to boost my site presence, I came across a wordpress plug in called Google(XML) Sitemap generator , when I was installing this on my blog I came across the following setting on wordpress that I have never noticed before.



Guess what setting it was on...
