The Fine Print Revealed — SEO for Everybody! – 15

Yo! Have you checked out the Thesis Theme yet? I’d love to explain how optimized, detailed, and easily-customizable Thesis is, but honestly, I know that you’re going to benefit the most from the amazing community of theme users. Smart people offering up tailored solutions to common theme problems? Now that’s serious value.

SEO for EverybodyEver since I launched the new design here at Pearsonified, I’ve had the opportunity to learn about the little Web site tweaks that can make all the difference in things like:

  • Search engine rankings
  • Traffic
  • Reader participation (comments, sweeeet), and
  • RSS subscriber numbers

One thing that these little tweaks have in common is that they tend to be extremely easy to implement, especially if you already have a bit of experience under your belt. Another, more unfortunate thing that they have in common is the fact that they are not as widely known or practiced as they ought to be!

Over the next few days, I’m going to change all that by compiling five of the most effective tips and tricks I’ve learned into one simple, easy-to-implement series of posts. This is your ticket to SEO for Everybody; now get in line and get ready to take your site to a new frontier!

Chris,

Thanks for the great theme (cutline) and the great tips. I blog over at IT Toolbox (no, it is not my site - confusion over my book’s title and their site not withstanding).
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/pm/career/

On today’s blog roll (they don’t have a real blogroll feature), I pointed my readers to Pearsonified - great stuff.

Also, we are using cutline for my wife’s HomeschoolVideoBlog.com project. It works out great - but we are just getting started.

Thanks again.

Hi there Chris

Under what type of license do you release your themes? We’re busy building a blog-engine ourselves - check out the progress here - http://www.dynamo.co.za/ - and were wondering if we could use your theme?

regards,
Alan

Alan,

Cutline is released under a Creative Commons ShareAlike 2.5 License.

Basically, this means that you are free to use the theme and make modifications to it however you please, but you must retain attribution that is “at least as prominent as” the original.

So in practice, you need to retain the footer links and also provide credit to me in the stylesheet.

Other than that, I say let ‘er rip! Looks like you have a pretty cool platform going there.
