Excellent article and review Ana. I was reading your recommendations as I opened my pages to see how they applied. You made it clear, easy to follow. Thanks!

And thanks to Mavis for sharing. We all benefited from it.

Thanks Sean,

I now have a better understanding of my permalinks and have put this information into use.

Thanks Anna, Sean’s site is a great resource. I will be spending some time there, no doubt.

Anna,

This is one of my favorite posts you do. I always learn something new. I like how you go deep into the sight, checking all of the behind the scenes mechanics. This gives us the chance to do the same on our sites.

Thank you.

I love reading guest posts because it adds a little different flavor to the normal posting habits of the main blogger.

Tanya, this post was well done. I like the idea of promoting the blog of the site owner with internal linking.

Not only was the the information valuable but it was easy to read because of all the “white space” used. Thanks Tanya and Ana!

Hi Ana,

I just read your blog audit of Oliver Tausend’s blog and here’s yet another one! Amazing how you could really find the time to help some of us improve. What you’re doing is great!

Hi, Ana.

You followed me on Twitter, I follwed you back. I checked you out, and I started reading your articles. I was attracted to your honest and open way of communicating. I have been searching for sites that provide a no-nonsense approach to sharing information that is helpful to those of us starting out in the web-based business arena. But I really got my biggest surprise when I clicked on the “About Ana” link on your nav bar.

Mostly I must say it is very refreshing to find someone like you who is not afraid to confess their faith in Christ, the source of all things. God bless you!

I have been fumbling about for a while, using the trial-and-error approach to creating a web presence with my blogs and web sites. With your help, I know I will find focus and get on the path to success.

Thank you so much for being who you are and for being so willing to help others. You exhibit a fine example of how the web can be mutually beneficial.

Your new friend,
Alan

Hello Alan,

Thank you for taking time to learn more about me. Yes I am proud and will always be on my faith. As to the information I share in my posts, I love doing what I’m doing, it’s my passion so I will know that I will never get tired helping others through the ideas I share with all of you. I’m also looking forward to knowing you and reading your blog as well.

More blessings to you,

Ana

Hey Ana,

I love your kindness and generosity too. I had no idea that Google treated “www” to “non-www” completely differently. I’m going to have to setup my Webmasters tools to reflect that too.

I’m also going to take a look at my no-follow and do-follow links thanks to this post.

I’ve always found Mavis’s blog quite attractive and it definitely has gotten better over time. I’m looking forward to seeing the improvements.

Have a great weekend,
Wayne

Hey Lisa,

Great advice. Getting away from the computer is probably the most powerful way of relaxing and just letting the creative flow through out.

Whenever I go to the gym, I hear teenie bopper music all the time. It sometimes drives me nuts and I just can’t get into the rhythm of a workout. So in general, not a great idea.

Take care,
Wayne

Ana-

I have a quick question in regard to pinging. Is there a difference between using the different pinging services to ping for me vs. uploading the lists of ping sites to my wordpress backoffice?

Whichever way is more effective i’m all for, just wanted to get your thoughts?

Jamie

Ana Hoffman trafficgenerationcafe.com November 27, 2010 at 11:08 am

Hey, Jamie -

The pinging websites are everchanging; that’s why I prefer to do both.

I keep a list of pinging services in my Wordpress preferences, which get pinged automatically. I also pinged my blog manually each time I publish a new post. That way I know I get all my bases covered.

Thank you Ana
for a generous and thorough analysis of Mavis’s blog!
I know Mavis and her blog for quite a time now and it was great to watch it developing in a great resource for Internet marketers.
I learned a lot about technical details of blogging just reading your two blog reviews - now it’s time to take action and make some changes in my own blog.
Wish both of you online and offline success!

Hi Ana,

I came back to this post via your audit of my blog. According to Google Analytics, my bounce rate tends towards zero. Should I take further data into consideration ?

Take care

Oliver

Ana, you are DEFINITELY my new mentor! In just reading three of your articles, I just cleared up the cobwebs on SEO strategies I’ve been trying to figure out for MONTHS. My niche is in some serious trouble now!

I can’t wait to dive in a little more in depth on your blog over the weekend!

Jamie

Ana Hoffman trafficgenerationcafe.com November 27, 2010 at 1:39 am

Wow, Thanks Jamie. I’m glad I made another follower out of you. As to your blog, I know you will figure that out. It’s a learning progress so just be patient and don’t give up, you will surely get there.

All the best,

Ana

Wow, another great blog audit Ana!

Mavis, your blog is so full of great info. Thank you for allowing Ana to do this audit on it. I’ve learned a lot from it and will have to figure out how to apply some of these tips to my own blog.

Thank you ladies!

Susanna

Mavis Nong from Attraction Marketing Online attractionmarketingonline.com November 26, 2010 at 1:55 pm

Thank you, Susanna. I grabbed the opportunity with both hands, lol!

That’s how we learn and I usually outsource complicated tasks, rather than pull my hair out.

Ana has a contact person to help with some of these issues - very inexpensive.

I always love what you share on your blog, Susanna.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Ana.

This is the best explanation of trackbacks vs pingbacks that I have come across. I was not totally clear on the two in functionality before, but fully understand now thanks to you. :-)

I will rummage through my archives and seek out any undesirables.

Good stuff!

Ana Hoffman trafficgenerationcafe.com November 27, 2010 at 1:41 am

Hi Jimi,

I’m glad you did. Knowing that many appreciate and learn something from what I share here makes it all worth it.

Have a nice day,

I’m very impressed both by the review and by Mavis’s site itself. Looks like someone else I can learn from.

Also it looks like I have a ton of work to do…as usual. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll EVER get my site to where I want it to be!

Anyway thanks, this is a huge help to me and others I know.

Ana Hoffman trafficgenerationcafe.com November 26, 2010 at 12:57 pm

You can do it, John! One bite at a time…

The best part of these tips is the fact that you need to implement them only once to see the results.

See you back soon!

Ana

This is an excellent idea for a blog series as it truly is informative for us all. I wasn’t sure how in depth this was actually going to go, but I’m blown away with the amount of information you’re providing that can help point out some things for me to think about with my own site.

I look forward to next Friday’s audit!
