Although "Advice For Best Theme For My Site" has been "Closed", the information Jeffery provided should not be lost due to lack of additional comments.

In over 7 years, this WAS the most informative thread for teaching NEWBIES by a Subject Matter EXPERT ever held inside PIPS.

I VOTE this thread become a STICKY... for all future PIPS members to see, AND learn from. This thread, while now dormant, can continue to help PIPSters enhance their BLOGS and existing PIPS Website/BLog.

VOTE FOR STICKY..

REMEMBER: The thread ISN'T about Google, but about PROPER STRUCTURING of your Blog for ALL SEARCH ENGINES to help them in determining if your site is worth indexing.

Hi Allen.

The thread has a link in my Tips and Tricks thread - and this is the real purpose of it - so that things don't get lost and sink to the bottom of the index unless bounced.

It was Jeffery's thread and he requested it be closed. So I closed it.

I am aware it is not JUST about Google - I know Google is JUST one of the search engines - but they are the ones with all the drama and dogma and I's to dot and T's to cross - so that is why I used 'Google' as an acronym for 'Search Engine'.



In my opinion search engine optimization and of course content written with SEO principles is a primary way to get free, targeted traffic - and I have thought that for years - what an ingenious, FREE platform @ B-L-O-G -

It's permanent advertising for as long as you keep your blog alive - and as long as it always has a pulse (consistent new content), it will serve very well - (and much easier than keeping a static website always 'fresh').

I tell everyone every day - no matter what else you do - paid or free - they are wasting a critical resource if they are not posting fresh content to their site/blog.

So don't cry about no money to follow Stone's recommendations and then leave the free, EFFECTIVE resource on the back burner because it requires consistent effort over time.

Allen - thank you too for all that you share here in the PIPS WF - much of what has been said of Jeffery could also be said of you - (treasure) - for many years - even with your management job and 80 hundred businesses - you always find time to come here - and it has always been appreciated.

With that said, Stone is the one that determines Stickys. The best I can do is the Tips and Tricks thread reference - and/or re-open the thread if Jeffery requests that.

Actually both Stone and I like it with just a couple stickies -

... and who knows? Stone may read this and comply with your request.
