So, our blog is now back to NOT using “www” in the published URL and our SEO test has reached a concluding point. That is, we confirmed that changing Wordpress URLs confuses us.
However, This is an SEO Test Part 2 appeared in Google Blogsearch pretty quickly without the “www” in the URL. I suspect that trying to manipulate the URL structures in such a close timeframe may have broken the test.
Either that or Google fixed a problem that I just managed to trip over. I’m more inclined to believe that my test is flawed because we were flip-flopping the URLs in rapid succession and probably got something out of sync.
Oh well, that concludes SEO Theory for today. I hope you have a good weekend.

Here are the #2 and #3 entries I got for the term “seo theory”. One doesn’t have the www and the other has the www. The #1 entry for “seo theory” is your old blogpress SEO Theory site. When are you going to get that moved down? Or do you want to? I notice that #3 is your domain home page, but it isn’t in a folder like #1 is. BTW, just my opinion, but I prefer the use of capitals in your blog headings. Non-cap titles look cool and mod, but they confuse me. I thought they were section breaks from one long post. I took me awhile to figure out that they were blog titles that I should click on them to continue reading the post.

How come when I cut and pasted the two entries above, the one with the w’s is a live link, but the one w/o the w’s isn’t a live link? So, is this a good reason to use the three w’s?

Rats. I try to break the links but Wordpress just insists on making them into links.
I am sure there is some option that could be turned off but I’m too busy to fuss with it.
Sorry.
Anyway — um, I see no reason to take down the old Blogger blog because, frankly, I don’t want anyone to grab the sub-domain and use it to pretend they are me.
There are still old links pointing to that blog, too. Might as well pass the PageRank on to where it belongs….
