Excellent tips for wordpress seo. I really enjoyed the Think Visibility event and it was great to be part of the audience to which this presentation relates.

My apologies for the lack of content around the slides, will write up what I said a bit in a blog post soon!

Notes on slide 1

I’ll try to answer all of them.

Happy thought!

Talk about WordPress & blogging for an hour!

Copy paste some slides

Be an obnoxious fat bastard and present it

Go and do what I do best

Wait a minute...

You’ve probably all read this...

It’s not like you couldn’t have Googled for it...

So I had an idea, more in line with the new and less fat Joost :)

Let’s get down and dirty... We’re going to talk about

Speed

Analytics

Social

Don’t be afraid to ask questions

I’ll try to answer all of them.

Speed

Puny PNG your theme’s images.

CDN’s have servers all over the world, closest to your visitors. Especially good for blogs with a global readership.

Why a subdomain works, even when on the same server: browser pipelining, multiple connections.

Analytics

Make sure you track what’s important, it’s not (just) pageviews :)

Gravity forms rocks: YOAST for 20% off

Social

How many of you have ever reached Digg frontpage? How much of that was through a Digg submitted through a button?
