Alex Jeffreys - Trial and Error With Search Engine Optimization
Today 23rd January my position in Google with the keyword Alex Jeffreys was 21st. Yesterday it was over 60th place. Something with my changes have made these improvements.

I have made many mistakes with search engine optimization with the keywords. But it have been good training. I’m failing forward and some results appears.
Mistakes have occured due to what you can do with the WordPress blog-softare (and what you cannot do) compared with an ordinary web site.
Problem implementing keywords in the H1 tag
I see a problem with that all blog post pages get the same title, AliBlogging - Alex Jeffreys .. - the name of my blog in the heading image. I don’t know how much this influence the keyword ranking. As it is now I can only have the same H1 heading tag for all blog post pages titles. Which means I will have problem to make optimal search engine optimization for other keywords than my blog title words. See earlier blog post about Basic Search Engine Optimization if needed to know more about the meta tags in the header, I have not yet made for the body (the information on the pages).
I mixed up the settings in the SEO-pack and settings in the blog
I mixed up the seo setup in the “All in SEO pack” and the settings for the blog. The blogs title that is the heading text on all blog pages is changed in the settings for the blog. And the settings for only the main title, that is shown on top of the web browsers, is changed directly in the the SEO pack plugin. I missed this setting in the SEO pack. This setting is shown in the search engines results as the link. This is very important and basic. (this text may be little difficult to understand, it’s easier when you are in your blog admin area and do it)
>>Changes I made yesterday for better search engine optimization<<
I have changed to only showing exerpts, intros from the blog posts on the main page. This is important, do you know why?
I do not show my tags because I used Alex Jeffreys as tag and also as a category. When having the keyword Alex Jeffreys both as tag and category creates too many links with the keyword. I must think about how to organize and categorize better. I made some small changes yesterday, but nothing that makes any change for my position for the search engines.
I also corrected my mistake mixing the settings for the SEO pack and the settings for the blog (see above).
Change that I have not made
Also good if possible to arrange all blog post in 2 levels + top level. Maybe it is fine as the WordPress blog software is designed. But for ordinary webpages this is very good help for better ranking.
Search engine ranking after this blog post
As long as you’re not in top ten you must do something about it. I will se if this blog post make any changes. I will keep on testing even if it happens I loose my positions.
Alex Jeffreys is not a high competitive keyword. It should be quite easy to get in top ten. But we are many students that are working with getting high position with the same keyword. It is also volatile goes up and down. Should not be tweaking. Instead focusing on creating more content.
