  • I can’t change the slug, Adam - all the links we’ve created will be rendered useless. So you’ll have to live with it :-)
  • Maybe it is, James. Looking forward to having you on the next show!
  • Thanks, Pete. You can give it a try and see how you like it first.
  • Thanks, Jane, it was great to have you on the show, even for just a few minutes. I’m glad you were able to watch the video on YouTube.

    I am looking forward to having you on the next show.

  • Great post, Dennis, that’s really informative :-) Nice job!

    Hey Ryan, very well said. You are doing a great job with twitter. Thanks for the kind words and I’m hoping to see you around :-)

    I second all your points, Robert, except for one: I only truly engage with people @WebTrafficCafe - that’s the only quality account where people can interact with me. The others are just running on autopilot.

    I do agree though that Twitter doesn’t have to take much time - contrary to popular belief.

  • How Ana Got Her Twitter Groove Back
    Very true, Andreas, but that’s not the point.

    The point is not to acquire thousands of followers and keep them, but rather bring them to my blog. My DM message is the most important tool I use for that.

Traffic Generation Cafe happily runs on Thesis Theme

Thesis Theme thumbnail

What do I love about Thesis? Everything would be the short answer.

If that doesn't work for you, then the fact that Thesis Theme framework is designed to serve is the rock-solid foundation for any website. My Traffic Generation Cafe and I fully trust and rely on the airtight SEO, incredible design flexibility, and lightning-fast loading times that Thesis provides.

Still not sure about Thesis? See what you can do with it, then decide.

Although I missed the live event, I appreciate you sharing the video. I have had some bad error ridden templates in the past, maybe it is time I give this Thesis theme a go.

Thanks for the PostRank inclusion. :)

There are a few ways PostRank can help with traffic. Most basically, you can see on what sites your audience is most actively engaging with your content, and how. Some hubs are more useful than others for driving traffic to your site.

With Analytics (http://analytics.postrank.com) you can see these activities as they’re happening, so you can engage with people who have questions or complaints and encourage discussion right way (ideally in your own comments section).

You can also do a bit of competitive analysis with Analytics to see how similar or competitive sites are doing on the social web, what topics or post styles seem to work for them, etc., and leverage some of that for your own audience.

In any case, happy to answer any questions or show you around. :)

Maybe I will consider CommentLuv for my blog after all. Several great blogs are using it with seemingly good results, so maybe I should learn from your example. PageRank leakage is not such a great problem as it used to be, so maybe the extra traffic and comments are worth it.

Announcing your next week posts is just wicked cool. I wish I had this kind of productivity and discipline. So far, I have troubles scheduling two posts ahead.

I see a busy week coming, Ana.

I liked your suggestion about using commentluv to deeplink your posts, I see a lot of people commenting on their blog and leaving the url from CL, the same as the post, when they good put it to use for some SEO.

Also, checking google webmaster tools to see what errors you should fix, or better said what errors google thinks are the utmost importance and should be fixed.

Have a nice next Sunday Ana, have fun on your trip!

Hi Ana,
Another great Sunday Coffee (well Monday now).
I have been looking into Scribe SEO, I think it can have a lot of benefits to the average blogger. The price tag can seem a little steep, but if it does what it says then maybe worth trying, can always cancel.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Ana,

Comment luv is a good plugin, but I have a thought in my mind, that we are giving away too much of free backlinks for nothing. I don’t know whether I am wrong, but that’s how I am thinking. So I have removed the comment luv plugin from my blog. Your thoughts?

Hi Ana,

I was so unfortunate. I logged in, said hello and BAM, my internet connection went off. I could get back online only on Monday morning.

I am watching your video on Youtube. I can hear your hello to me. And, it was 7pm for me in India, but yes that doesn’t change my commitment :) .

I recently was thinking of doing podcasts in my blog. Well, I just wanted to put an audio version as well for every blog post (I don’t know if that is called as podcasting :) ). I am bit shy with cameras to do videos (I know I miss a lot of Youtube traffic). So I am looking forward to your post on podcasts.

Great and insightful coffee time as always.

Will miss you for the next couple Sundays.

Jane.

Ana, this was a great session. Thanks for explaining how Scribe SEO works and for all of your tips on anchor text.
For me it sounds like Scribe SEO goes a step further than SEO Pressor which is what I have now.
I really appreciate the shout out and link luv too! Enjoy your ski trip and have fun with your family during your vacation.

Now, about the coffee….I have tried some wonderful European coffees and I have to say that you should certainly look into having your coffee delivered from One Good Woman in Baltimore. I do and OH MY is it fabulous!!!
Now, for the skiing…..be careful as we can’t handle a down and out Ana! I’m serious…..our czarina needs to stay put!!

I am pretty much addicted to my coffee machine more than anything, Lisa - so I am stuck with nespresso coffee brand. But I am not complaining; it’s true my favorite coffee!

My idea of skiing vacation is hot chocolate and fireplace. :) Unless the fireplace blows up, I should be OK. :)

Wonderful to have you, even though not for the live version.
