  Okay Jeff,
  Please do accept our appreciation for your fantastic software, and we are putting it to work this very evening. Sleep can take a hike for now.

  In the meanwhile, a few questions:
  1) we do need a domain name, yes?
  2) we do need a host account, yes?

  We are not “techies’ at all hence those somewhat silly questions. Just making sure that we are on the same page as the instructions video, which however made no mention of those points.
  And it must be said that the installation video is easy to follow and therefore highly commended.

  In a word, we are–hooked.
  Very best regards Jeff,
  this is marina & alice.

  Jeff Johnson says: I’m glad you like it.

  We’ve had fantastic luck generating free traffic with it.

  And, yes, you’ll need a hosting account and a domain name.

  I recommend several on my other blog:

  And for domains I use, and own:

  What if you already have wordpress installed? can i just upload all the files over the olds ones to make it work? (except the config.)

  Jeff Johnson says: Technically speaking you can, but you’ll have to know how to reconfigure everything since we’ve customized the crap out of this one to be search engine friendly.

  So I’d suggest you simply use your SEO blog software package on a new domain, or in a new sub-directory of an existing domain; create a new blog installation.

  I’ll see if this is something we’ll have time to cover during the live webinar.

  The video shows a spot for a MySql name and password. Do I need to purchase a MySql account also? I’m not familiar with this.

  Jeff Johnson says: Mysql is free with most linux hosting accounts. And you’ll need a hosting account with mysql to use the SEO blog software package.

  Hi Jeff,
  I have a blog but it was created with blogspot.com not word press. Is it possible to use this software that you offer with a blogspot.com? If not, is there a way to convert all my exsisting blog to word press? I have 3 years worth of info on my blog, but like that your software is seo friendly.

  Jeff Johnson says: There is no “easy” way to migrate one blog platform to another (there are solutions but they all have issues).

  My advice is to simply start a new blog using the Free SEO Blog Software .

  As I tell my clients… everyone in every market needs more than one website and one blog to effectively compete in the search engines. I’m not talking about spam, I’m simply talking about maintaining individual niche blogs that serve your overall market; use unique content on each blog and link between them.

  Thanks for the software. I’m used to installing WP via Fantastico on my Cpanel so I’m not familiar with setting up the MySql database first.

  What does that involve?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Jeff,

  i just installed my SEO blog successfully,as soon as i get in it says “Hi, congratulations on your new SEO optimized blog”
  From jeff johnson on your customized blog is successfully installed.

  then below it says “Wordpress Development Blog” Wordpress2.5.1, a new version is available with a number of bug fixes.

  I dont know how to update this also if i updated this version will it effect the original SEO optimized blog software which you gave me as this new version is just an updated normal blog? Please correct me if im wrong.

  Should i install the “most popular plugins” like google sitemaps, wp2tumblr and photo droper?
  if i should, how do i do this? do i just ftp to the existing folder where the seo blog is located?

  Jeff Johnson says: wordpress issued that update this weekend and my guys have already updated our SEO wordpress installation package wth it.

  However, that will only affect any new SEO blogs you install going forward; it is only for insalling new blogs… it doesn’t upgrade old ones.

  You can update your existing one by hand but please remember to back it up before you update anything.

  If something breaks, simply revert back to the old version and leave well enough alone.

  Sorry, but there are thousands of wordpress plugins… we have no way of knowing how they will “interact” with our SEO blog installation.

  I generaly ignore updating my old blogs as long as I can… as long as it “ain’t broke” I don’t bother fixing them.

  Hi Jeff,
  Thanks for the information on SEO. I tried to install the SEO for WP, followed the youTube installation video.
  When I enter the url to my SEO blog, it comes up with your blog page. I enter my name then the url of my site, click on your wide button then get the following error message:
  HTTP Error 404 – File or directory not found.

  I tried it a few times, googled the error, no luck.

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Regards,
  Lorne

  This is seriously an absolute joke and a ridiculous waste of time and space. Thanks for wasting my downloading for nothing.

  Jeff Johnson says: I really don’t know what to say to this except my customized version saves time on installing and updating several plug ins I’ve found useful, and it has 7 themes built into it that are much nicer than the standard versions.

  And unlike most “plain jane” themes I allow people to remove my links.

  We’ve even pre-configured the plug ins to save you even more time once you install it; you don’t have to go in by hand and make dozens of the necessary changes I normally recommend.

  It saves most people at least an hour or two of their valuable time.

  But if you are an experienced user that can hack your own blog installation routine, hack the themes, and hack the plug ins then I understand it isn’t as useful as it is to those people that just want a quick and easy way to install an upgraded version.

  Not to mention the installation help we’ve been providing those that need it.

  Plus most people will find value in the live webinar and video tutorials we are hosting to support the proper SEO use of the software.

  Thanks again for giving it a try.

  Hi Jeff,

  Firtsly I want to say thanks, I just signed up for your free software.. Jeff I have a couple of questions here I hope you don’t mind answering..
  1. Your blogs that use the software look great, my big question is where does the great content come from? that has to be one of the biggest problems to overcome.
  2. What pays best the adsense or affiliate schemes.

  Thanks Jeff.. Regards David
  
  Jeff Johnson says: Thanks for the feedback!

  The content comes from RSS feeds and data feeds.

  My sites use my software
  Affiliate Traffic Machine Pro

  But there are free plug ins available that you could hack together to get it to work.

  The best money for most people will come from selling adspace and/or links on their network of blog sites.

  I’ve been offered hundreds of dollars to place links on blogs that are only a few weeks old.

  But if that’s not an option adsense tends to be pretty much equal to the affiliate sales on most site.

  Some markets like plasma tv and digital cameras tend to do better with other affiliate programs (vs adsense) due to the higher level of commissions paid once you make the sale.

  But not always.

  That’s why we always monitor the sites and see what programs are making us the most money.

  IF one makes more than the other… we cancel the loser ads and run with the winning ads (affiliate program/adsense,e tc)

  We use openx to rotate the adsense and affiliate banners on the sites. It’s free and works great.

  Hi Jeff,

  How do you promote these sites? Are they part of a bigger network of yours?

  thanks,
  Attila

  Jeff Johnson says: Most of these types of sites are set up as “stand alone” sites. We don’t agressively cross link them together but we do drop an occassional link to the new sites in the same markets, but on different servers.

  Our promotion is to build social media profile pages on sites like squidoo, hubpages,etc.. that funnel incoming links and traffic to them, social bookmarking, etc.

  Our total promotion time is somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes.

  Once we find one that is gaining traction we will go back and spend more time promoting it.

  We also submit them to directories, but we use a dirt cheap service for that. The one I use is SEO directory submissions

  You could also just search google for “seo directory submission” and look for a service to do it for you.

  I also outsource “commenting’ on them (not my Jeff Johnson blogs, just these SEO blog software type sites that are designed to grab free traffic); the engines like to see comments so I pay people 5 cents to post keyword rich posts to my site.

  And if I’m starting one as a membership site I’ll pay people to join and start posting pictures, videos, forum posts, etc. This really jumpstarts the traffic to new membership sites!

  Hi Jeff
  It’s nice to “re-connect” with you after first seeing you on my Traffic Secrets DVD’s and following you ever since. Since then I’ve always wanted you on my “team” of essential advisers as I build my Internet presence.
  I’ve only recently had a website, blog and forum built for me and need to do a lot of work on them before I start promotion.
  I just read an e-mail from you and clicked-through to your blog page and have now downloaded your SEO software. Now, I’m not strong on the technical stuff yet so it would be wonderful to be able to pay someone to install your blog software on my hosting site. Luckily, I’ve only done a few posts on my blog so wouldn’t have a large migration issue. So, do you know someone who I could pay to get me set-up or should I wait until May 15 for your new coaching club?

  Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but I don’t know anyone that does that type of work.

  But I’ll see if my guys can put together a tutorial that shows you how to do it yourself.

  I’m not promising anything… we are gearing up for the big day and my guys may not have the time until after we launch.

  However, it does seem like something others could benefit from so we’ll see what we can do.

  Hi Jeff,

  How many blogs (using your blog software) can we put on one domain? For example, can I do this:

  http://www.mydomain.com/blog1
  http://www.mydomain.com/blog2
  http://www.mydomain.com/blog3
  http://www.mydomain.com/blog4
  http://www.mydomain.com/blog5
  … and so on?

  If each of those blogs were to be pinged everyday from that one domain, would this cause the search engines to consider it as spam and deindex the entire domain and all of it’s blogs?

  Or should I just put one blog on one domain?

  Thank you for your wonderful software and for sharing your knowledge.

  Jeff Johnson says: Glad you enjoy the info!

  I normally keep the number of blogs on a site to 2 or less for many reasons.

  The search engines don’t care how many blogs you have, all they care about is the content.

  But if they ban one blog on your domain chances are they’ll ban the entire domain.

  But the ping services will block your IP (domain) if they receive too many pings from it.

  And if they block your IP address from pinging you lose a lot of the “blog and ping” search engine benefits.

  Hey Jeff,

  The first time i installed your SEO blog software it worked like magic, my website traininglab.cashdreamzs.com indexed almost immediately but when i logged in to my wordpress back office it said please upgrade to the new wordpress software, then i recieved an email from you saying that “Wordpress has upgraded heres your new SEO software” so i uninstalled the previous one and installed the new one with the link in the email you sent me and did it successfully, and with this new software i wrote a lot more than what was installed in the first SEO WP blog and 3days later my page is still not indexed by google. even when i search the Address it self no results show. Did i do some thing wrong? here is the address again traininglab.cashdreamzs.com

  (edited by jeff)

  Jeff Johnson says: First, You should always import the old database after installing the new free seo blog version in order to “keep” the settings and such.

  Your site is in the google index, but there is only one post on the blog so you can’t expect to dominate the engines quite yet

  It’s also very, very important that you find incoming links for your new pages. Be sure to follow the social bookmarking tutorial I posted for you.

  Second, I see several problems from a search engine standpoint and installing it over the old one may have caused them.

  1. Your root domain has nothing in it. The spiders will view your root as “under construction” and may not index the subdomain the blog is in.

  Put up a index.html page that at least links to the blog subdomain.

  2. your linking structure on the new blog is all wrong; the permalinks are screwed up.

  Your post “best traffic generation” has a permalink of http://traininglab.cashdreamzs.com/1/blog-successfully-installed/ instead of being named after the post.

  According to my guys… here’s how you can fix it.

  ” his URL to the post is such because he edited the first post that the installation posts. He would have to change the permalink tag (known as the post slug in Wordpress) as well, or delete that post and start a new one. The URL tag of each post is determined upon the initial posting of that entry. If he changes the content of the entry you would not want to change the URL. So yes, even though the content is different, the post slug is the same.”

  3. You also left the genreic tag link “just another jeff johnson customized wordpress weblog” on the site.

  THat should be a keyword rich title related to your site’s theme.

  4. it looks like my guys duplicated the links to my sites by accident in the new installation package. Feel free to remove a few of them.

  The new package wasn’t meant to be installed over the old one. I’ll be sure that is clear in the instructions going forward.

  But in the meantime… only use the free seo blog software to build new blogs… do not update your old ones until we put together a tutorial on how update safely.

  Hi Jeff.

  Thank you so much for making all this material available to us to try for free. I’ve blown so much money over the years on products that didn’t do anything worthwhile (but sure sounded good in the sales letter!).

  I’ve run into a problem in the installation and I’m hoping you can help me figure out how to fix it:

  I installed all the files you made available for download, making only the alterations in the wp-config.php file as stated on the video tutorial. When I try to access the admin section, I get this message:

  “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress”

  Any idea what went wrong? I installed every file and I didn’t make any changes to any of them other than the config file.

  Thanks.

  Jeff

  Jeff Johnson says: Glad you like the software!

  As for your error… that is a hosting account specific error.

  Your hosting provider needs to make some changes for you that are way beyond the scope of this blog.

  Can I use fantastico to create a blog, then upload your package and have it overwritten and work?

  Jeff Johnson says: really no need to use fantastico if you are going to upload mine other than it creating the database. And we cover that in the tutorials on this blog so why bother with fantastico… creating a database takes less than 2 minutes and then you won’t have to worry about upgrade issues.

  I am getting an error after installation:
  Error establishing a database connection

  When I create My SQL Database it is adding my account name (getoutof) to my database, username, and password.

  Example:
  I create database ‘debt’ and it creates: getoutof_debt
  I create username ‘treo’ and it creates: getoutof_treo
  I create password ‘runner’ and it creates: getoutof_runner

  I have modified the wp-config.php as instructed with the three fields with and without the added account name and I am getting the issue either way.

  Any suggestions? Thanks.

  Jeff Johnson says: it is quite common for a database name to be changed the way that you mention. Have you checked with your webhost for a solution? Each host is different and your error is too generic to give me clues as to what may be wrong.

  Hi Jeff,

  I see you are using this theme digg-3-columns-10″ which isn’t one of the templates we can choose from with this software you provided. Is there a reason you are using one as an example that isn’t included? Can we download and use that one and still get the SEO results you are claiming?

  Also, I am googling digital camera reviews and even reviews on some of the models on your site and I don’t see your site on the first 5 pages.

  What am I missing?

  Thanks.
  Barry

  Jeff Johnson says: The digital camera reviews blog was built last fall for clients attending one of my seminars.

  The theme used was just one my guys found and put up.

  We created training tutorials based on that blog.

  We showed how to set up your ad servering network, install the blog, the plug ins, etc.

  The entire process was documented in a live video for my clients.

  Installing the ad serving software, installing the blog, customizing and intalling the theme, finding the rss feeds and data feeds, creating the widgets, adding adsense, etc took an entire 35 minutes.

  Before I went public with it the site was getting several thousand page views a day by 500 unique visitors a day.

  And several others built for that same group ramped up to several thousand visitors a day in the first month.

  They aren’t money sites by design.

  I don’t capture email on it, but you should.

  We built it because my client’s need a way to get some free traffic with as little work as possible.

  If they want more traffic they were taught how to get it.

  These types of sites are great feeder sites.

  You put them up and you walk away.

  You can sell banners in your network on them.

  You can sell links on the sites themselves.

  You can add links to your own money sites and treat them as your own mini-network of incoming links instead of paying hundreds of dollars a month to join one of those link networks that are so popular these days… the problem is that if you use a public network for your links… everyone knows where those sites are and when they leave the network they can turn it into google and the links are worthless.

  Build your own and you are much better off.

  And it only take a few minutes a day.

  There are 1500 pages listed in google for the example site.

  And it has consistently averaged 500 unique visitors a day before I released its domain to the publicl; now it get thousands.

  We don’t actively promote it.

  And we spent a total of 35 minutes building it (could have saved 10 minutes if we didn’t install a new ad serving network at the time).

  If you wanted to make this a “money” site all you’d have to do is have your outsourcing agent subscibe to your rss feed.

  And everytime a new post came in they’d be notified of it, and they could go to work promoting each and every post on the site to increase the individual rankings.

  One thing to remember, though, is that you can’t choose the keywords or the content for the posts on these sites if you use rss feeds to build them on auto-pilot like we do.

  you are stuck with the words given to you by the feeds.

  If you want to dominate one particular phrase you should have complete control of all the content being added.

  That way you control the title tags, the category names, the “tags”, the post titles, the content in the posts etc.

  But that takes a ton of time and should only be done for your main money sites.

  Use sites like this to make a few bucks, and build an incomoing links network for your money sites.

  Or sell the sites you build like this… I’ve seen people build and flip wordpress sites for $250, $500 or more.

  And they only take minutes to build and then you can just walk away and let it age in the engines.

  Believe me, a site that is aged in the engines that is in a highly competitve market is worth thousands with or without traffic and/or sales.

  Some of my clients and friends make thousands a month just building sites with free software like this and selling them, or selling links on them, or they get paid for SEO work and they use the free sites to increase the traffic to their client sites by providing high-quality incoming links to the client site. If the client stops paying, they simply remove the links and sell them to the next person.

  Lots of way to make money with them.

  I’m just trying to keep it as simple as possible and that’s what the free seo blog software is all about; it’s easy to install, has dozens of custom hacks in it, several proven plugins, installs very easily in a pre-configured way, and saves hours of time for those that aren’t wordpress experts.

  And the tutorials to install them are quite popular.

  I’ll be adding more seo training soon.

  But hey, it’s free and the people who use it appreciate the work we are doing.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi Jeff,

  I’ve followed everything in installing the software but I got this error message, “Error establishing a database connection.”

  I’d appreciate your help.

  Thanks,
  Danny

  Jeff Johnson says:

  Here’s what my resident wordpress guru says:

  “That’s an error from Wordpress saying that it cannot connect to the database information he provided. I would advise him to recheck his database information in the wp-config.php file

  A couple reminders:
  Did you grant access to the database for the username? (The username must have access to the database)
  Did you make sure the database location is correct? (The database location has to be correct, typically ‘localhost’)
  Is the database on the same server as the blog installation? (The database and blog must be hosted on the same server)

  From there he would have to correct his database issues. This error is prior to the blog installation.

  ~Anthony”

  If that doesn’t work please contact your hosting account for help with the database configurations.

• Chas // May 8, 2008 at 8:48 pm

  For connection problems I just delete the wp-config file. Then I connect and it builds a new one. Likely a tiny typo is the problem.

  Also I set my post per page at 100. I find longer pages seem to rank better than short.

  I will definetly be re installing the sites using your software.

  Hi Jeff,

  Thank you for the software. Quick question: How do I make a bank new blog look like it’s been around for a while? In other words, add “past content”…is there such a thing? Also, is there a way to add entries from other blogs?
  For example, say I create a blog about Mobile Technology and I find a great blog entry on another blog (i.e. engadget.com) about a new laptop. Is there a way to enter that story in my blog manually or automatically? Thanks Jeff, looking forward to your training. -Marv

  I’m getting this error when trying to run the directory of the seoblog on the internet…
  What should i do? All I’ve done to the file is open using dreamweaver making the necessary changes and then saving it.

  “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

  Hi Jeff,

  Thanks for the software. One question before I get started. I know you wrote that you do not update older blogs, but I would like to update two blogs I have in Semiologic Pro. Is this software similar to that? I haven’t updated my blogs since last fall. Upgrading in Semiologic entails paying $250 US every year… (didn’t think of this when I bought it).

  Also, are we allowed to install the software on more than one domain?

  you probably opened the file and deleted or added something in there – just go back to your original wordpress files and replace that file – It says line 202 as it has gone right through you file looking for a closing tag and hasn’t found it – Common problem in any PHP coded page

  Jeff,
  Thanks for this terrific time-saver.
  I’ve installed everything as per the instructions, into a folder – “blog”.
  However, when I try to navigate to:
  http://www.toptipshere.com/blog/

  I get the following Error Messages:

  Warning: require(/home/toptipsh/public_html/blog/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/toptipsh/public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 202

  I see that this error is similar to a previous email and I look forward to your Tech guy coming up with the solution.

  Meantime, thanks you and your staff for this great piece of software and for any help you can provide.

  Hi Jeff, before I hadd the software to my new blog that has only a few posts in it, I need one piece of instruction.

  I put all of the WP files in a folder on my domain called /moneyblog. Now to log into the blog they have to type the full path of the domain
  http://spikeyoursales.info/moneyblog.

  How can I make it so all the user has to do is type http://spikeyoursales.info and they are at the blog. Once I figure that out, then I’ll install the seo software.
  Thanks

  I don’t know if this comment got through last time, but I seem to be experiencing an issue with the SEO Blog Software that no one else has listed here.

  I got the software installed ok, even managed to edit the CSS and customize one of the templates. However, the permalinks don’t seem to be working correctly. The only setting the permalinks will work on is the default wordpress setting. If I try to change the setting, I get a message that says I need to update the .htaccess file. If I change the setting to anything other than the default wordpress setting, I get a 404 Not Found error. I imagine this is no good for SEO…if the permalinks can’t work, then how will the RSS be able to work?

  That file seems unwritable (I cannot edit PHP with anything I have), so how do I go about updating that? Or is there an easier way to set the permalinks up so that the titles of my posts can be included in the permalink (for SEO purposes)? Help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Jeff and team,

  Great package you guys have put together! And perhaps just in time.

  I have been having problems with my Word Press install. I paid someone online to build a site for me. I did this before I knew much about conducting such a task. Since then, I have discovered how easy it can be to build a web page. But, there are still some challenges…
  I am not sure what has happened, but my current word press install at http://www.hillbillydirect.com was never completed by the fella I paid to do it. I quickly started to learn Word Press and started trying to edit/finish it. I installed some additional plugins and tried a few themes (all from Word Press site). My comments were working for the first while, but I have noticed in the last week that it no longer is and the previous comments aren’t there either. Working with WP Support didn’t get me far. I was told to reinstall Word Press.

  So this is where your package comes in. I would like to maintain my content, I know there isn’t a lot yet, but it has taken time to develop and I would like to save it. I guess the typical way to do this would be to back up the database. But I am not sure if that will work in this instance because the database says that WP_comments has crashed and is unrepairable. So backing up would probably save that error?

  What is the best way to start fresh with a new install, using your word press package when I have an old/existing install on my domain?

  What is the best way to save my data if my database is potentially damaged?

  WP support said to just copy the text.

  I use netfirms.ca as a host. I have been told they are not very good, but besides this problem, I have been happy with them. I have 6 months remaining on my term and no funds to purchase a different hosting package at this time. But is Netfirms.ca a good host?

  Jeff and team, I would very much value your time and comment/assistance with switching/reinstalling WP using your free Word Press Theme Package.

  Regards,

  Jeromy

  Jeff, thanks for providing both the software and the tutorials. While I’m an experienced web developer who is intimately familiar with both the design and technical side of building & installing sites, I lack the knowledge and experience of SEO and getting traffic quickly.

  I’ve installed this on my test server and playing around with it, and I am learning a lot – and I especially appreciate the Traffic-Getting Jumpstart™ Master Plan – awesome post! I will be upgrading my real site tonight and going through your tips.

  I really have to hand it to you and your team for making it easy for guys like me.

  Is there a limit to how many of our sites we can use this free version on? (within reason, obviously) I have many sites that can benefit from this.

  First thanks for the cool setup, you guys have put a lot of time into this and I’m certain the back end will pay off wekk for giving this away free. Who else would give away this kind of value.

  I have been through the FAQ’s and scoured videos but haven’t found an answer for this:

  Akismet is almost ready. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.

  where/how/huh? do I find, get or generate an API key? the aksimet plugin is active but what now?

  Also:

  There is a new version of Google XML Sitemaps available. Download version 3.1 here or upgrade automatically.

  and:

  captcha and sociable both have upgrades available, should I upgrade (will not lessen your optimization right?)

  Thanks in advance for any help and many thanks again for this package.

  Your Wordpress API Key is found within your Wordpress.com account. Here is a tutorial from Wordpress that shows you where and how to get your Wordpress API Key: http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/19/api-key/

  As for the plugin upgrades, yes, you can upgrade your blog plugins without obstructing the current configurations of your blog. This can be done using Wordpress “update automatically” feature or by manually downloading and reuploading each plugin to the wp-content/plugins directory of your blog.

  Jeff, I have installed the blog at http://www.ibrokersystem.com/index.php but my admin password is not working and the reset of password is also not working. Is there any way I can fix it some files in CPANEL? or how do I fix it? Thanks.

  Anthony Montalbano says:
  Check to make sure that you grabbed all 15 characters of your password. The password generated uses symbols as well as letters and numbers. Make sure you have only 15 characters from the generated password, without any spaces before or after. If you entered a valid email on installation of the blog you should have the password emailed to you. If you may have lost that password and your email was not valid, you will have to re-install the blog software.

  Jeff,
  I’m a total idiot about web sites. I have a Yahoo Small Merchant website which I had built for me. Can this blog be used with a Yahoo Site? Where does it pop up? Do I need to create a separate page for it? I’d love to take advantage of it as I need to some how, some day (soon) appear on the search engines. My site is 45 days old and I only come up with you type in my url :^(

  Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but I don’t know if yahoo merchant stores allow for installation of the software.

  But even if they don’t you would simply install it on another hosting account and use it to jumpstart the traffic and increase the rankings of your yahoo store.

  I believe I discuss that in the viral video tutorial (you don’t need video to use the techniques)

  I do not see my blog posts anywhere, pinging is not working I guess. Because not one single post have appeared anywhere. I have followed the installation exactly and no pings have been sent.

  Jeff says: Believe, the software works…. I have used it every day for the past 4 or so years to grab free search engine traffic.

  Make sure your site isn’t “banned” from engines.

  Or make sure your server isn’t sending out false headers such as 301s or false 404s.

  And make sure you didn’t accidently set the blog to “private”… that would tell the serach engines not to index your site.

  And check your .htaccess file and your theme template and make sure someone hasn’t inserted no index directives in them.

  Anthony and/or Jeff,

  If I installed the SEO Blog about 2 weeks or so ago (today is 5/29 btw), should I be using the “new” updated SEO Blog download links that were provided in the “a little bad news and a ton of good news” email dated 5/25 from you guys??

  Unsure how to go about re-installing every time an update comes out and whether a completely new install is necessary?

  Was this an update or just another email stating that the SEO Blog software is still available?

  Isn’t there an easier way to implement any new features that you guys might come out with besides a completely new install? Confused fo sho. Let me know, please and thanks a ton.

  
  Jeff Johnson says: This particular update involves much more than just adding a plug-in; it completely streamlined the installation process plus it streamlines the post-installation tweaks even more.

  That means you really can’t just add add a plug in to replace it.

  However, you can add anything you’d like to your existing installation so rather than replace the old ones simply add plug ins that you find on the web.

  Just be sure to always use the newest version when building new blogs.

  And here’s the video tutorial on upgrading your blog

  Hello,

  A long tortuous success story…

  I tried to install the blog with an earlier version, 0.9 (located at blog-01.jimmycraigaffiliatepage.com) and now with 1.2a (located at blog.jimmycraigaffiliatepage.com). I get the same error message with both after uploading before I get the initial wordpress screen:

  “Error message HTTP 500 – Internal Server Error. Possible reasons:
  - the website is undergoing maintenance
  - the website has a programming error”

  I tried the directory index fix from the FAQ but that didn’t change anything.

  I can see with the FTP that the files are there in the root directory where they should be (except the .htaccess file which the FTP doesn’t read – but it’s there also, I can see it in the Fantastico-equivalent program). I know the “connection” with the Internet works, because I had a place-holder there before, and I took it out before I uploaded the blog files.

  I have a different version wordpress blog installed (but not really functional yet) on the system, but it is on a different domain and uses a different SQL data base (located at blog.good2004.biz – a nice template!). That tells me (1) it should work, and (2) there shouldn’t be any conflict between the two.

  My host’s Linux control panel is similar to the C Panel, but not identical. I can change permissions (tried this with the .htaccess file – didn’t help) but that doesn’t seem to be the problem here.

  My pc operating system is in German, but I don’t think that should be a problem (the host system is in US-English).

  I tried uploading the files a second time (takes more than 30 minutes with my low-speed ADSL) but with no improvement. Is it worth while to install the same blog as the (successful) one on the other site and then try to modify it? I’ll sleep on it…

  Next day…

  In the wp_config.php I changed the secret phrase from the standard one and changed the database prefix from wp_ to aa_ -> got different response “no connection to database” (note: used “wp_” for the blog that’s already installed – there is one “master” sql database for my complete account!)

  Gave dba priviliges to the database user -> no change (were already as dba except for name)

  Changed dbhost name from “local host” to the specific name/address => THAT did the trick!

  Wow! Finally!!

I tried several different ways to get it working. I do have registered domains also. Sorry for the bother….just was excited to see it in action! Thanks in advance for the help!

  Jeff Johnson says: Sorry, but just about every probelm we can actually help with has been covered in our FAQ section of this blog. Other than that I’d suggest contacting your hosting company.

  Hello Jeff,

  Fantastic!! You are the man. The info you put out is phenomenal. I just want to say a Big Thanks!!

  I am having problems getting the to Seo word press blog set up though. I hate to take your time, but I am getting a 403 Forbidden error when I go to my domain name. I uploaded the package to my domain…Host: my domain Username:FTP user name and password…I changed the MSQL in the WP-Config file to my Database name, username ,password, and host name they gave me when I set up a database. I am using 1and1 for hosting. In the video tutorial it says go to where you uploaded the package, so I try to go to my domain and I get the 403 error. Hopefully you can follow all that…sorry if it’s confusing….Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  Daniel J.

  Jeff Johnson says: We’ve helped hundreds troubleshoot the software so I’d bet your solution can be found in our FAQ (on this blog).

  Other than that 1and1 should be able to help; 403 errors could be caused by server config problems, fixed with htaccess file hacks, etc.

  I think wordpressdirect.com is better

  Jeff Johnson says: wordpressdirect is not free, mine is.

  I’ve never used wpdirect but I’ve been told my free seo blog software is very similar… but it’s comparing apples to oranges.

  My Free SEO Blog Software is free and has been proven to work by tens of thousands of people, including me.

  Choose the one you’d like to use.

  Thanks again……..I love this trend of giving away stuff….it’s helping me big time, cuase I have no money (yet)

  I use interspire templates which already have a blogging facility included.
  It pings weblogs, syndic8 technorati and feedburner

  Is it worth downloading the software?
  If I do will I lose what I’ve got, or do I put it in another directory, and if so where?

  Jeff Johnson Says: The ping list has very little to do with the SEO traffic-getting customizations of my Free SEO Blog Software.

  However, if you already have a domain set up with a special package I wouldn’t updgrade it unless you really know what you are doing.

  Just install mine on a new domain, or a new sub-directory of your current domain.

  My blog use theme, plugins and wigets from Semiologic Pro and I am not sure if I want to change a lot of this. However, I am interesting in becoming much more SEO efficient. So the things I read about this software seem to make it very interesting.

  Jeff Johnson says:

  semiologic is similar to my Free SEO Blog Software, both are much better at getting traffic than the standard wordpress installation is.

  But I wouldn’t try to mix and match anything with a semiologic theme; the plugins may not be compatible.

  Ok, first I tried the upgrade, no good. Then I deleted everything, uninstalled the current blog and then followed all the directions exactly but still ran into an issue. I cannot log into the admin. I get to the login, put in the correct info but then get a blank page. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Good luck to the rest of you.

  Anthony Montalbano says: It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact problem that you maybe having. Did you try to go directly to the wp-admin URL and see if it shows? If you were trying to upgrade your blog and your blog package was newer than 2.5.1, it would more than likely cause some errors because currently our free SEO blog package only covers up to 2.5.1. I’m sorry to hear that the free SEO package was not of help, but I do hope that these few comments help give you some direction in answering your errors. We hope to release a new version of the free software very soon.

  Hi Jeff,

  Thanks for the SEO Blog Software. I haven’t installed it yet as I’m still researching keywords. I wish to get as much Google love as possible.

  My question is does Google favor matching url’s with the blog’s “Title” like they do with websites?

  What about using a – (dash) in the url and title. Does this carry any “weight” either way?
  The reason for this is the hit counts for the same four keywords is much greater if seperated by a dash, (two strong two word keywords, as opposed to one four word keyword.) The difference is huge, using the dash being better.

  This “could” make a big difference in Search Traffic.

  Thanks
  Denny

  One more question (I forgot it before)

  Is there somewhere I can look at a full page version of the 7 available themes? BEFORE I start building the blog? The small samples in the theme tutorial are so fast and small its a little hard to decide what might work.

  Jeff,

  Sounds like you have nearly all the bases covered… However, just a couple weeks ago I set up a blog using WP with the aid of Rob Benwell (BttB 3.0). I’m new to all of this and understand that blogging is one of the best ways to promote affiliate products. Now, since I am working from “0″ (zero) capital after having no income for the past month, how do I legally link to affiliate sites through my blog?

  Also, is there a “glossary of blog terminology” somewhere?

  And, finally with the above mentioned site, is it possible to “inject” your software into it and start getting ranking?

  Thanks…

  Jeff Johnson says: Joining most affiliate programs is free. We cover that for you in the club.

  Or you can just head on over to amazon.com, clickbank, or cj.com and join theirs for free.

  If you have “0″ budget you won’t be able to join, unfortunately.

  But our free software does work and the traiing is good.

  I don’t know anything about the program you are using so I’d be safe and install my software on a new domain.

  But you can use my traffic-gettting techniques on your existing blogs or websites.

• Puneet Aggarwal // Dec 1, 2008 at 8:03 am

  Dear Jeff, After I installed your software, the dashboard says that “WordPress 2.6.5 is available! Please update now.”. Should I update whenever this appears, or should I leave it as it is. I normally use a “Wordpress Automatic Upgrade” plugin to upgrade all my other blogs.

  If I use that plugin to upgrade this blog, would that wash out all the SEO features of the blog, let me know.
  Regards, Puneet

  Anthony Montalbano says: You can upgrade your blog after the installation. All of the optimization is set on the original install. As long as you installed the blog with our software and you have all the plugins included activated you should have no problem upgrading your blog without “washing out” the SEO customizations.

  Anthony Montalbano says: If there is a wp-config-sample.php file you can rename this as wp-config.php file and proceed with the installation instructions. If the “sample” file does not exist, try to re-download the blog software and see if the wp-config.php file is in there. Hope this helps.

  Thanks for your response. The “BttB 3.0″ I’m referring to is where the “template” for my (blog) site came from. And, of the three ads in the upper right hand corner, his is the first one posted.

  How to get free traffic from social sites

  This last subject, I will use to illustrate the pionte I want to make.

  I was targeting the keywords traffic for free, free online traffic, free visitors, get traffic for free, website traffic for free and get free traffic.

  For one of those Keyword I ended-up in first and second place on Google, and one other I was fourth, sixth and eleventh place.

  I added content to each page almost everyday, to end-up loosing ranking.

  From what I’ve learn, I was adding content to each page that was just to similar. to add unique content would have been just to mush work.

  That why I am trying to transfer everything to your blog.

  All of my sites are in the IM niche, wish is were I want to go, my way of saving are planet.

  It appears as tho it’s looking for the files in this tipsy folder which doesn’t exist. Don’t know where this came from. It is part of mysql db setup. Is this a sql problem or a wp problem?

  instruction #5a is not clear – is that the URL or some place else – where is that exactly – tutorial says location but is not clear on what location –

  thanks

  Vic

  Anthony Montalbano says: Sorry that is was not clear to you. What I meant by that is the directory or URL where you plan to have your blog located at. So if you upload the files to the root of your webhost, such as ‘public_html’ or ‘www’, then the location you would go to in your internet browser would be http://www.yourdomain.com. If you put it in a subfolder, then it would be http://www.yourdomain.com/subfolder. Does this clear up things? I didn’t want to restrict the location of where the blog can be installed, so I left it generic, assuming you know where you are uploading your files too.

  Sorry if this is a stupid question ad if this question was posted earlier.

  Will the Free SEO Blog Software work with WordPress version 2.6.5?

  Thanks!!

  Anthony Montalbano says: The free SEO blog software is actually a modified version of Wordpress 2.6.3. So what you are doing is installing Wordpress with customized settings and modifications designed for SEO optimization.

  If you want to use version 2.6.5, first install the free SEO blog software, then proceed with the standard Wordpress upgrade to version 2.6.5. If you need help upgrading here is a tutorial for you: http://www.undergroundtraininglab.com/42/upgrade-wordpress/

  Since all of the customization are set on the install, you can upgrade your blog after the install of the free SEO blog software.

  I have a problem using File Zilla . I was unable to put the wordpress files in file zill because I could not connect. I was wondering if I should use the quick connect feature in File zilla.

  Anthony Montalbano says: There is essentially 4 things you need to connect to your FTP. That is, your FTP address, port number (should be 21), username, and password. If you are using a site with cPanel, the ftp user is typically mynameis@thissite.com, where “mynameis” is the username you created for the FTP account, and “thissite.com” is the root domain you have set for your webhost. In cPanel, check your FTP accounts to make sure you have the right username. The FTP address would be http://ftp.yourdomain.com. Hope this clarifies some things.

  Hi Jeff,
  I wrote a comment earlier to say thank you for this marvelous SEO blog software but somehow it doesn’t appear here. I have already installed it in two of my sites. However, in both installations, the default Write Post/Write Page is in html format. That is, the visual format in the conventional Wordpress is disabled in my installations. But that is not really a problem. The bigger problem is when I upload pictures to my site and the dialogue box returns only an option to upload from a URL; no option to upload from the PC is enabled.
  I have read all the comments in this blog of yours but I haven’t found one with this same problem. I would appreciate if you can show me the way to solve this problem. Thank you so much!

  Anthony Montalbano says: Have you tried to reinstall the blog software? I highly recommend you try this first. There are no settings inside the software that would default it to HTML only. It sounds like it may have something to do with the restrictions of your server. Make sure that your web host (server) supports atleast PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.0.

  Hi & thanks for this fantastic package!

  I had started a google blog awhile ago to promote my site but have now bought a separate domain name/hosting to install this wordpress site. My hosting company has informed that it will take 24-48 hrs before I can upload my site.

  Here is a dumb question: I do have dreamweaver on my mac – can I WRITE my blog prior to uploading it?

  Thanks!

  Anthony Montalbano says: Yes you can use Dreamweaver to write your blog posts, but I recommend using Wordpress building in blog post writer. It has all the popular formatting tools such as bold, italics, change size and color, add pictures, videos, and more. So after you install the blog software you can write your blog posts right inside your site!

  Hi, Great job but having finally managed to extract the SEO blog files to my desktop, I’m now struggling to FTP them to the right place…

  I have a host with cPanel and so where exactly do I upload them? Should it be http://www.mysite.com/public_html for example?

  After that, what exact address do I put in the browser to be able to generate the password for the blog?

  Sorry if I sound green, it’s because I am!

  HTTP500 error???
  I have created a sub domain and then I created a new database as per instructions.

  I altered the “wp-config php” file with the username and password I used to create the database along with the name of the database as mentioned in the installation instructions after having downloaded the software and opening it.

  I then uploaded all the SEO blog files in to the new sub domain I had created earlier. (Takes quite awhile doesn’t it)?

  Now when I type in sub domain web address in to the browser I get a HTTP 500 error – Why is this?

  Having previously installed a couple of wordpress blogs, they work ok and looking through Cpanel the new database has been installed and all the SEO blog software files are in the new sub domain folder.

  Operating system is Linux
  MySQL version 5.0.51a-community
  PHP version 5.2.6
  Cpanel 11

  Jeff,

  I have all of my sites hosted with GoDaddy, and I don’t know if the interface I use is cpanel or not, but it looks different.

  I have tried repeatedly to download and get this to work but it does not. Is it not compatible with godaddy hosting, or is it user error on my part somewhere?

  Thanks

  Jeff Johnson says:

  I’m not a big fan of godaddy but i would expect it to work there.

  Love what I am learning here, I just have the feeling that it will get me somewhere.

  I need to learn !

  Here A few questions for you

  Should I just forget about my sites, take the content and put it all on your blog?

  I did install your blog on a new domain, it took me 10 minutes. but I want to install your blog to one of my site with out ruining everything.

  I will try to make this easy for you, maybe it will be as easy as 1,2,or 3

  1….Can I just create a blank page I would call /blog ,put the blog code on it
  and upload it to my public html folder

  2…I read that I could create a sub directory and upload the blog to it.

  Those this mean?

  Go in my FTP in the what I call the server box, right click create a directory call it “blog” and upload blog in this directory.

  3….Create a database in my site Cpanel and upload the blog to that.

  My questions here are;

  What should I look for in FTP?
  In what folder or directory should I upload to ? Is a folder or directory the same thing ?

  Thank you for sharing you valuable knowledge

  Yvon

  PS… How to add a link in here?

  Kimberly… it’s permissions… goto your cpanel then databases… move down the page and choose database that you have set up and ensure your user kaita961_kaita99 has ALL permissions on the database. From the messages i would say 99.999% that the user hasnt.

  Hey Jeff,
  Thanks for providing us with such valuable content. I wish I could afford your course now, but I’m sure I’ll get the privilege of being a member of yours in the future. I had a question about your free SEO blog software and my current version of WP. I’m using version 2.6.3. and I’m about to update it to version 2.6.5. I know you said not to install the software if we’re using anything above 2.5.1 so my question is, will you be releasing a new version of the software compatible with these newer versions or should I update FIRST and THEN install your software? Sorry if this is a repeat question. Thanks again

  Anthony Montalbano says: Our free blog software was originally designed as a fresh install. Even though you can use it to upgrade older blogs, you don’t get the full effect of the SEO boost as you would with a fresh install. My recommendation, if you plan on upgrading would be to install a new blog with our latest version of the free software, then export the content out of your current blog and import it into your new SEO blog. Then if you want to upgrade Wordpress to version 2.6.5, you can do so by doing the basic Wordpress upgrade. Since all of the SEO customizations are set in the install, the Wordpress upgrade shouldn’t effect it. We actually just recently released a new version of our free SEO blog software, and 2 days later Wordpress punched out 2.6.5 (arghh!). The minor updates from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 actually have no real effect from our current SEO blog software using 2.6.3. But again, a simple Wordpress upgrade is acceptable, if you really want the newest version of Wordpress. Hope this clarifies some things for you.

  Hey Jeff,

  I just installed the SEO Blog Software and set up my blog. Everything was going awesome until I made my first post.

  The post shows up when you first visit the page, but when you click on the link for the post that’s in the menu on the side it goes to an error page instead of loading the post.

  I thought that it might have been for the fact that I used the older version of the software, but I downloaded the most recent one that you sent out in your newsletter and it still gave me the same problem.

  Please help.

  Thanks so much,

  In another installation I have the sam trouble only I get this response when I click on the links in this blog.

  Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

  Could you please tell me how to do that?

  Thanks,

  Lane

  Jeff Johnson: From within the wp dashboard itself.

  However, don’t do it unless you follow the upgrading tutorials on my blog

  Hi,
  I have tried and tried and tried again to install your blog — I am just not a teck guy — But I will leave this question and maybe you can help.
  I have followed your instructions as best I could. I have extracted the blog — entered the Mysql info and uploaded to public_html. When I log on to the website it get a screen which says:
  Index of/
  .cgi bin
  wordpress/

  Apache 2.1 etc etc etc.
  Where have I gone wrong?
  Any info would be helpful.

  Thanks.

  The best thing to do when you see data base or server messages is to contact your hosting compnay.

  I see the link that says Add new news…. and I see the list of 1000’s…. if I load one of those themes, will that new theme mess anything up?

  how can i downlaod this?

  Jeff Johnson: The only way to currently download it is with the passwords and such mailed out after you request the software and training.

  My Traffic Getting SEO Plugin will be out in a few weeks.

  Thanks for the great content.
  Now, wonder if you can pls help?
  I have several WP blogs. I use Hostgator / cPanel / Fantastico which has a one-click WP installation. I have it down pretty well now, with plenty of SEO plug-ins, etc. So, by comparison, the manual installation process you describe is quite daunting.
  Do you think I’d be better off sticking to my own method, and focussing my energies on niches, posts, and all the other stuff, or am I really missing out by not using your customised software?
  Or are you able to tell me how I can install your SEO WP package from the Hostgator panel?
  Thanks again

  I use Bluehost. I have another Wordpress blog already set up using Bluehost. It was set up for me, so I am not familiar with it.
  1. When I added a new database, it added my original database to the name of my new database. Is this a problem?
  2. When I go into ftp, what location am I supposed to use? The new domain I created? What directory am I supposed to use? The login for ftp once again adds my original blog as the address.
  Sorry, your tutorial didn’t cover any of this.

  Hi Jeff,
  I get the following message.
  If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.

  I went to do the below but the software I downloaded does have the file .htaccess

  h. If you do get the message above you have to change the write access levels of the .htaccess file in the root directory of your blog. To do this, go back to your FTP client and right-click the .htaccess file and choose File Attributes. Type in “666” for the Numeric Value and click [OK].

  Cheers

  Jeff Johnson says:

  I’m sorry but we just don’t currently have the staff available to help troubleshoot the free version right now.

  It has been successfully installed by thousands of people, so we know it works.

  I am a little let down and slightly annoyed. You’re advertising that you are giving away SEO Software… whatever! An altered installation of Wordpress… basically just plugins you could have given links to?

  I wish you would have stated this was for newbies or people that don’t know what the hell SEO is in the first place. The changes I see you have made (or your staff) should be common sense in all Wordpress installations.

  I’ll look forward to something useful coming from you since I’m on your newbie list now.

  Jeff Johnson says: It’s not just for newbies, it is for people that like to save time.

  We customized the installation routine, modified the code, and test the plugins to make sure they work properly, as well as work together.

  As for the content… all you need is one idea from the dozens and dozens of tutorials I send out to the list and you’ll get your money’s worth.

  Hi, what does this mean?

  If you are upgrading an existing blog built with our Free SEO Blog Software… make sure you are upgrading to a newer version of the software.
  The more I look at it the less I get it. I tried the install 3 times. Got it installed once but clicking on “visit site” didn’t lead to the blog, it went to the front page of the site. The other times I couldn’t find it to finish the install. Can you put it anywhere or should you make a directory for it or what? The directions didn’t seem to make that clear and some of us just don’t have enough experience to know. Please advise. Thank you,
  Dennis

  When I try to download the software it asks for the username and passwords when I enter the username and passwords the page does not go through it returns the same page

  Jeff Johnson says: Here are the instructions from the email, hopefull they help.

  Very Important! do not add extra spaces to the username and passwords
  when submitting them to the form (especially if you cut and paste
  them from this email).

  If your login doesn’t work, please make sure you have removed all
  spaces when submitting the username and password.

  Note: We change the password monthly and send out the new one to our
  subscribers (this list).

  Make sure you keep checking the emails for the new passwords, and the
  upgrades to the software.

  TGSP requires you to use a theme… it really doesn’t matter which one. Some are better than others from a functionality standpoint.

  The only thing that really messes with the Traffic Getting Software is other plugins that try to insert php or scripts into blog posts.

  But you can easily work around that with on simple “click”.

  Jeff Johnson: If your host is requiring you to do something special they should be able to show you what they need done. Please ask them for clarification.

  hi jeff.i couldn’t fully down load the seo installation package.Let’s say out of 100%,my system downloaded 76%.what could be the problem?
  
  Jeff Johnson: You are using the free version. The professional version has more plugins and tweaks so you won’t see “100%” on the meter.

  hi jeff.i contacted my hosting company and my blog is up and running and installed with seo software.i want to change the theme.would this alter the settings and plugins?
  thanks,really appreciate your help.

  Jeff Johnson: Changing the theme should be fine. The only exception being if the theme installs plugins… just make sure they don’t overwrite each other.

  Great! This SEO plugin really comes at the right time for me as I intend to start using Worpress for both my blogs and websites. I watched the video above and it looks pretty simple to do the installation. Really hope it will helpme in my overall SEO effort. Thanks!

  Hello Jeff,
  I appreciate all your information and the quality of your work.
  I’ve installed the SEO Blog and everything is working properly. The unique step I can’t do is the step 5 (Install your blog)
  I’m using wordpress 2.8… or may be my problem is with my english level…
  What solution may I get in order to open my blog correctly.
  Tks in advance
  Install Your Blog
  a. Open your web browser and navigate to the location you uploaded your blog package.

  Jeff Johnson: You have to log into the wp admin section of your blog. If you installed it in the root domain than simpy go to http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/

  Hello Jeff – is there a pro version of the Plug – In. I can’t find it though you reference it?

  Jeff Johnson: Traffic Getting SEO plugin Professional not currently for sale to the public, it’s only available in my coaching club which is also not currently open to the public.

• Georgina Elliott // Nov 8, 2009 at 6:38 pm

  Jeff – do you want a Word and PDF version of the install instructions?

  Jeff Johnson: Thanks, but no… I prefer them to be online so we can update them instantly if there is an error, changes or upgrades.

  Hello Jeff…

  I have your traffic-getting seo plugin installed on my wordpress already with version 2.8. When the newer version of wordpress was recently released, i upgraded to version 2.9

  Since the upgrade, a message displays in my dashboard that Simple Tags cannot work with this version of wordpress.

  Please, what do you suggest? Any other plugin that does the same task as the “simple tags plugin”, that can work with wordpress version2.9?

  Please, advise. Need your assistance.
  Thanks

  Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but although TGSP istelf is 2.9 compatible, we can’t guarantee the pluigins it controls will be. If they don’t fix themselves in a few weeks we’ll probably look at removing or replacing them in tgsp.

  Hello Jeff…

  I just quickly want to draw your attention to MaxBlogPress pinger. It is fine when it doesn’t ping when i edit a post to prevent excessive pinging, but not when i publish a new post. I just published a new post now, and i went and check the ping log. The status was: “Not Pinging”(“blah blah blah” was edited).

  What baffled me is that, this is a new post i just published and not an edited post. So, it’s meant to show “Pinging” under the ping log. My wordpress version is 2.9. Before now, it would show “Pinging” for new posts just published when the version was 2.8

  What i also noticed is that the posts that shows “Not Pinging” under my ping log, is indexed in Google and Yahoo.

  So, what baffles me is why the posts are indexed in the search engines, but the ping log says “Not pinging”. Could it be that the pinging doesn’t take place immediately i publish the post Or there is a pinging going on in the background even when the log says “Not pinging”.

  I would like to hear your opinion on this…Jeff.

  I would also like to hear from any one who has had the same issue?

  Normally this should be pinging and i should be able to see this from the ping log

  Thanks
  And compliments of the season to you.

  Jeff Johnson: Many plugins will not work with the new upgrade to 2.9, which is why I normally don’t update my wp installations until after the plugins have time to update themselves.

  I don’t know about the ping plugin specifically… but you don’t have to ping to be indexed in the engines if they engines are already actively crawl your blog; they’ll find the posts themselves. Pings just help speed the process up.

  I know that I am behind the curve here to send you my sincere thanks for such a helpful SEO plug-in for WP blogs. I started a new blog several months ago and then circumstances beyond my control kept me from adding to it until now. The technical aspect of blogging is always what has gotten the better of me; so I was thrilled to come across you and your Underground Training Lab. You are the answer to this blogher’s quest for a K.I.S.S approach to blogging. Thank you again.

  Jeff Johnson: You are welcome!
