Thanks a lot for the informative post. I have wondering if you make money from pay per post too? I heard that is not bad for a good pagerank blog.

The site for the RSS Scraper plugin is up, it is just under some server stress. The only way a new site gets over 500 visitors a day is because it is being linked by a much bigger site. Remember, there are only four main kinds of traffic:

1) Search traffic
2) Direct Traffic
3) Pay-per-click traffic
4) Referral traffic

All traffic follows under one of those four kinds. New sites that receive a lot of traffic? That’s referral traffic.

Hi Garrett, we also think that having just the post name in the title is probably the best method for achieving good results in the SERPs. Maybe Ahson (author of the above article) can chime into why he thinks having the date in there is a good idea. I think it is an interesting idea to have the category name in the URL structure and I am sure that will help with ranking for specific keywords.

Hey Matt, thanks for the comments. The URL structure of the post titles is something that does seem to be overlooked by many both new and seasoned bloggers, but nonetheless, it is something that is extremely important for search rankings. Nice 430, BTW!

Interesting post. Tweaking your URL structure is definitely a good SEO tip.

I’ve found that adding the category name to the URL can really boost your rankings. I do have to disagree with something you mentioned though, it’s much better to use “/postname” rather than WordPress’ default “/year/month/day/postname” as the dates have no SEO benefit and simply serve to dilute the main keywords of the title.
