should you put advertising on you’re blog

Why not! Most of the websites or blogs have advertising on it. So, why shouldn't you! If you don't exagerate, like some websites do, it's not notable. Advertising even motivates you to write a new post. You might get some visitors for that post, and get some revenue for it. Why do you blog? Think about the reason that you write regularly a new blog post. Is it because you really want to share you're knowledge? But for wat reason you want to share it! To be an authority in you niche?

Headspace2 added to www.scyj.be

Today I added headspace2 to this blog.  HeadSpace2 is a powerful all-in-one plug-in to manage meta-data and handle a wide range of SEO tasks.  The main reason is that I want to replace the All in one SEO plug-in with headspace2because it can fill in meta tags automatically. I have tested the plugin in my local copy of this wordpress blog, and it seems to work. So i moved it online. This is actually the first post with the headspace2 plug-in activated. We will see how it goes!  Headspace2 fea...

Nederlands versus English blog

waarom deze post? Wel, scyj gaat vanaf nu in het engels posten. Dit is dus de laatste nederlandstalige blog post (ongeveer toch) Een verandering van taal houdt niet in dat we veranderen van inhoud. Deze blog zal nog steeds over promotie, SEO, marketing, optimalisatie, enz. posten. Voor de rest wijzigt er niets. Er was van in het begin van deze blog al twijfels over de blog taal. dat is dan ook een van de redenen dat wordpress nog steeds in het engels stond.  Waarom in het engels bloggen? D...

DMOZ, wat is er nu mee?

Er zijn reeds vele discussies aan voorafgegaan,  maar helpt het als je je site aanmeld in DMOZ? Waarschijnlijk niet meer als dat je je aan een andere site met een hoge pagerank aanmeld.
