I believe my blog is already search engine friendly. I will have to check on that, but I don't mind it being on google, this and that, even if I do start posting more photos of myself. I will definitely restrict what I post, but for the most part it doesn't bother me.

depends on if you think your facebook friends will be offended by certain things. I like my separate persona now, I don't want to lose one community of people because I have a sex life.

If you mouse over the little pink "i" to the top right of this box you'll get instructions, but it's pretty easy either way.

"[" img "|" link "]"

But without the spaces and quotation marks

That'd be kindof neat. I've never used Thunderbird before, but it sounds like it'd be a useful feature.

I've found myself in the search engines, as close as the 2nd-3rd page. And I'm getting search engine hits. That's good, right?

Alexa ratings are really important for a lot of sponsors, so I started worrying more about mine. Liberator, for example, won't sponsor reviews if your alexa rank is above something like 100,000 or 200,000 (I should remember but I don't).

I always considered PageRank to be important, but it seems to take so long for a new site to even get one. Mine's still n/a, just as my wordpress.com one was before that.

That link is supposed to be the direct image link, but I apparently made it up too well, lol

I think it's scary to think about how permenant photos on the internet are. People can just save them. Makes me be very careful about what I post on my blogs.

There's definitely a lot of great conversation today. Takes a lot of time to read.

I love Thunderbird because I can have all of my e-mails from all of my different addresses, as well as my RSS feeds, come into one place. It's also all set up with IMAP so anything I delete/edit on Thunderbird edits online too.

That's definitely good! As your blog gets more hints/content/PageRank , you'll get higher up on the search engines too. It can be good stuff. I think almost 65% of all of Kinky World's visits come from search engines.

I don't focus much on google or alexa rankings, but now my blog is getting bigger I need to.

Wow, that's impressive! I have barely any traffic from search engines - am I doing something wrong?

yeah, right now there aren't any of me on my blog. there's still too much stigma around here about anyone who talks about anything sex-related publicly for me to post my real name or pics there. I'll be graduating a year from now with an education degree and I want to be able to keep what I do online and still be able to teach w/o stigma.

You should definitely post pictures of you wearing your lingerie then. There are some that of course nobody will expect you to post, but you should definitely add some pictures if you can!

Yeah, I've started worrying about this too. I have photos of me, but nothing full-face or full-body. I guess someone could still recognize me if they really tried, but I tend to hope in the field of Student Affairs that folks would understand wanting to do sex education in this sort of way. It's one reason I won't post nude photography anywhere, though.

I don't know what Liberator's rules are. Alexa ranking can be important to a lot of companies too. PageRank tends to better reflect search engine ranking while Alexa can reflect visitors more.

Yeah. I definitely agree then. Having pictures associated as an educator might be a big deal. That's probably a good move.

Alexa only counts the search engine hits of those people who use the Alexa toolbar.
