Podcast #73 – Conversation with Marc Fuller on Wordpress, Google, and SEO
This week we bring back Marc Fuller to talk about some of the features of the latest version of Wordpress, the content management system that many of us use. We also talk about changes to how Google is changing how they rank sites, including taking into account the speed that the pages load. We also talk a bit about optimizing your website.

Don’t forget about Marc’s Try-it, Like-it, Buy-it offer. With “Try it, Like it, Buy it” Marc will place on your server/host a full working demonstration installation of Kertesz II complete with functioning main page, blog page, contact, NextGen gallery etc.. Then you can explore it as much as they want. If you like it and decide to use it, either as your entire site or as a complement to a Flash site, then you pay for it and Marc will support you in making it custom to your use – including placing it a new folder, importing your current blog (if you have one) etc. And then when ready to go live, revisit your hosting; doing page replacement if needed, WP tweaks, SEO adjustments, etc. The price for all this remains at just $267.00 but not payable unless you decide they like it and want to use it and Marc’s services.

Hi Kerry. Thanks for a great interview with Marc Fuller. I found it very insightful & at a pivotal moment in my business life. Many of my questions were answered or clarified from this podcast. It was the first time I had heard about this page. I'm now a fan & full time reader & advocate.
Keep up the good work!

Kerry,
Due to the fact that I am in the process of having my site and blog re-designed, I took special interest in all that Marc had to say. Am I the ONLY one who thought he threw an extreme curve ball, and am dying to know more? I am referring to when he started talking about the need for landing pages that are useful in terms of conversions. Here he was, talking away about blogsites and SEO, and he comes out and starts talking about how we need much more that a song and some images, or even a long string of blog posts. I couldn't agree more, but I am anxious to hear more about how he recommends making this happen (what it looks like). Can you elaborate, or post some examples? I am not interested in following the sea of other photographers with an image gallery and some music; I want the clients!! : )
