Comments on: Roadmap Update http://tarskitheme.com/2006/07/02/roadmap-update/ An elegant, flexible WordPress theme Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:13:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1-alpha By: Andreas http://tarskitheme.com/2006/07/02/roadmap-update/#comment-1004 Andreas Tue, 21 Nov 2006 12:30:10 +0000 http://tarskitheme.com/2006/07/02/roadmap-update/#comment-1004 Changing "ecent" to "previous" might be a fine service for readers, but nobody gets READERS by misleading search engine entries. All that results from that are just HITS. I even doubt that frustrated users are willing to click on Adsense links or anything else. They just go away after a second or two and thereby ruin the visit length stats, which is just as undesireable in <acronym title="Search Enging Optimisation">SEO</acronym> terms.

Anyway, I'll look into it.

Just this morning some searching life form was looking for something a bishop said and was lead to my gallery page ("Bilder"). The searched words must have appeared in the footer when the Googlebot came by. Unfortunately, the gallery isn't as often updated as the recent articles section and - violà - the user found nothing but confusion. Perhaps a <code>rel="noindex"</code> might help, even though I have no idea if that tag exist in the first place.

Unfortunately, this plugin doesn't reach into footer, sidebar and archives. Wouldn't it be a neat idea to incorporate the plugin into the theme? That would give the whole thing the first international spin.
