Newbies. Watch Your Blogging Practice or Your Site Might Drop Like a Rock

It occured to me recently that some people do not realize that if they anchor text link to the home page of their blog for a certain term and continue to post in many Worpress (and other) themes they will end up dropping in ranking.

Why? If you link to your home page and it has say "Best widgets" and that month you have a great article on widgets then Google may rank you at a particular spot for widget based on relevant content.

But then you continue to post perhaps with posts that don't have the same relevance juice (keywords) and your original article gets moved down on your home page (and eventually off your home page). So when Google visits again it doesn't get the same relevance score and so for that term your placement goes down for that term.

You should always therefore link to the post itself not just your base domain name OR you should be using a theme that allows you to specify what stays on the home page (or rig it yourself if you know your way around the underlying php files).

Just a tip that you might not have realized and could cause you to drop.
