Google ranking
I have been running this site on the default template that came with Wordpress for a few weeks now. I did notice that searching google on JediSthlm or Jens Wedin I only came up roughly around 5th to 10th place on their ranking. That was not very good, I wanted first place of course.
I did have a look in the default template that comes with WP. First I notice that the top area used a h1, then in the content area there was a h2 for the date and then a h3 for the article headings. I thought this was not very good so I changed it a bit. The top area got an div, the date got an div and the articles heading changed from h3 to h1. I also changed the title some, from “JediSthlm - a webpage by Jens Wedin” to “JediSthlm | XTHML | CSS | Webdesign | Photography | Jens Wedin”.
This week, only a few days after the change I got 2nd place on google when searching for JediSthlm and 1st place when searching for Jens Wedin. I most say that this is great. Only by changing the code some I got an better ranking. So a good advice is to take a look at the semantic of your pages. Just by changing the headings around you could gain alot of ranking on Google and other search engines.
