It's been some while since I wrote something here. Many reasons. One of them being that I was busy perfecting the look of this blog.
Complete lack of activity has meant that I have had all the time in the world to sit and experiment with different options to change the way I display stuff on this blog. And yet I'm miles away from making "that perfectly SEO-ed blog"!
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been trying to fathom all that Matt Cutts, the SEO-guru working at Google, writes on his blog. The attention has thus been on increasing crawlability, utilizing screen space effectively, cutting down on heavy graphics and yet maintaining simplicity of design. In this regard, surprisingly, Matt's blog is minimal yet information-rich.
Google Analytics is a fascinating piece of code from the Google stable. This blog has a limited audience of perhaps a few hundred hits a month, but the reports given by Analytics have been very helpful in understanding reader habits. The bounce rate on my blog has been shamefully high. I'm looking to arrest (and reverse) that trend in the days to go. There are other issues too, which I'll address in due course of time.
A lot of work is yet to be done. And thankfully, I have all the time in the world to do it!
