Improve your Google ranking with Peter Mahoney, 20+ years SEO & Wordpress experience
Dear (some of my) clients,
And here we see the problem with shared hosting. Ordinarily I could easily upload that 650MB file in 20 minutes. But thanks to load balancing, which you seemed to think was there to make your life *better*, I can’t get a consistent upload speed of more than 32KB/s.
I hope *your* clients can wait 5 hours!

You would not believe how important it is to optimise your images. I just saved 77.5% of one site’s total image filesize, without blinking.
Today is a public holiday, and I’m working,
Clearly I am not “public”. 🙂
Here’s a blog post idea I think I’ll follow through with for my personal brand blog…SEO is about reinforcing. Reinforcing your messages, your values, who you are and what you do.
Each page, every blog post, should help strengthen those key messages.
In fact, I believe I’ll blog that right this second. 🙂
Top tip for personal brand sites (if they’re based around freelancing or finding work), stick the contents of your CV up as plain text. It’s SEO gold.

One of the people I made a personal brand for last year was Julie Smith, who runs meditation courses. She just had me overhaul the structure of her site.
So the design hasn’t changed (and had very little to do with me, sure I made it but the job was outsourced to me by a template-company) but the site map, information architecture etc. has been redone in key places.
