<p>The most powerful strategy to consider when optimizing your website to get ranked on the first page of Google is the Title Tags of your web pages.  This is because when Google searches its database of pages to give you your search results, it actually looks at the Title Tags to determine if the page is relevant to your search or not.</p>
<p>The Title Tag or Page Title is the text that you can see in the blue bar on the left hand side at the top of a web page (where the minimize/maximize buttons are). If your chosen keywords that are relevant to your web page are not in the Title Tag then Google is going to find it very difficult to find your page and determining that your page is relevant to the search being carried out.</p>
<p>Most people do not realise the importance of having your keywords in the Title Tags of their web pages and this is why, when you visit a lot of websites, you will see that the Title Tags of the page only contain the Company name of that company and not the keywords which is the most vital part.</p>
<p>It is fine to show your company name in the Title Tag of your website but you must make sure that you definitely include the keywords that you want to optimize for that page.  By doing this you will make it far easier for Google to find your pages and to deliver them in the results when someone searches for what you are offering.</p>

<p>There are a growing list of things that I already hate about WordPress 2.7.  Most of them are minor issues that can either be ignored or simply written off as quirks I don&#8217;t really need to worry about for my style of blogging.  The major issue is still the layout.</p>
<div id="attachment_173" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bradtheblogboy.com/?attachment_id=173&source=rss" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-173" title="Wordpress 2.7 Write Screen" src="http://bradtheblogboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/layout1-300x59.png" alt="layout1" width="300" height="59" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wordpress 2.7 Write Screen.  Click to open full size in new frame or window.</p></div>
<p>This is not some minor petty concern.  This is flat out bad design.  Any blogger worthy of the name is using some plugins and other tools on the administration side of the blog.  This is as it should be, since customization has always been a prime feature of WordPress.  I sincerely hope someone soon comes up with an administration plugin to fix the layout flaws.</p>
<p>Here is the major problem with WordPress 2.7.  As you will notice in the full screen image all of the internal links for WordPress 2.7 have moved to the left hand side of the screen.  in western languages we read from left to right meaning the most important or most often used information should always be put at the top left of our viewing area.  Links to the dashboard and everything else on the administration side of things clutters your field of view while posting.  There is a good chance I will be using ScribeFire even more than I have previously, because of this layout flaw.</p>
<p>Getting to post through scribefire doesn&#8217;t make the problems all better with a soft kiss from the open source faeries.  Writing a proper post in requires more than you typing in a few lines of text putting in a picture and calling it good.  There are all sorts of things you need your write window for, that scribefire can&#8217;t do.  Second problem with having the internal linking on the far left of the screen is the scroll bars for most of us are on the far right of the screen.  This means mousing clear across the screen to get to the links and then mousing back to scroll down the new screen.  This is not only inefficient, it is ergonomically unsound.  it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if this layout doesn&#8217;t cause some serious problems for people who already have hand and wrist problems.<span id="more-171"></span></p>
<p>While the layout of administration links sucks, I am not totally displeased with other things about Wordpress 2.7.  The write page is back to making good use of available space.  My categories by default are just to the right of the post box.  On top of that the components are modular and can be moved around the page.  This is great design, and a great feature for those of us who use certain things far more than others.</p>
<p>In the end you will either love this design, or you will hate it.  Either way though if you are serious about your blogging then WordPress is still your best option and WordPress 2.7 will be the platform they keep the security fixes up to date on, so you will use it.</p>
