Today I joined Australian Affiliate Marketing Forum. Looking foward to exchanging ideas and borrowing from experience of other forum members.
WordPress SEO – keywords
08/05/2009 — GM22I’ve been looking for a light WordPress SEO – Search Engine friendly plugin, but nothing quite cut it for me. So, I decided to use the excerpt text to insert into meta keywords, using this line of code in the header:
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php $excerpt = strip_tags(get_the_excerpt()); echo $excerpt; ?>"/>
It works really well, and no plugins needed!
Making blog posts via email
08/05/2009 — GM22Back to waix.info… I wanted to update the WAIX IP list automatically every night, and the best way to do that would through posting the blog messages via email. I followed instructions to use wordpress blog by email, but each time I tested it, the post would go to “Pending” state.
The problem was… actually it’s a feature, not a problem – there must be an active “Contributor” user in wordpress with the same email address where the messages come from. Not bullet proof, but helps to secure it little more, I guess.
WAIX.info gets a new look

Another web site, waix.info now has a new look. This web site was using PMwiki – it’s now transferred to WP platform. The site is already getting quite a few hits and traffic from search engines. WP will make it easier to manage and will allow to integrate some ads into it.
WAIX is an Internet Peering Exchange (Western Australian Internet Exchange) in Perth, Western Australia.
gm22.net gets a new look
05/05/2009 — GM22
Today I upgraded my www.gm22.net wordpress blog from 1.xx to the latest version. The previous version was continuosly exploited by spam bots, which managed to insert thousand of invisible links after each post that I did. I hope the problem will go away now.
The new wordpres theme has 4 columns. It looks strange but I kind of like it. Take a look and let me know what you think.
Setup a framework
05/05/2009 — GM22I am going to setup the following framework:
- This blog – bloggytalk.com – will describe what I did and report on progress.
- On my old blog – gm22.net – I will explain how I did it, in technical terms.
- My personal blog guennadi.com is somewhat unrelated to this experiment. I mainly use it when I travel to reflect on my experiences.
- The first two blogs will refer to a network of other web sites that will be used for placing adsense ads and referral links. Details will be posted as we go.
So, today, the goal is to move gm22.net blog to a different platform and change the blog theme to allow for ads placing. Stay tuned.
