Precisely : I totally agree with you for the focus on rythm, consistency and quality. I’d love this blog keeping up the good job.

Actually, I am not really looking for tricks, but I’m rather surprised by the fact that new posts are not registered as such by Google anymore, whereas this was the case before.

I suppose there’s a link with the facts that trackbacks are now obsolete. It is not a big deal, but apparently we haven’t considered all issues before the migration to techiteasy.org. Since I was one of the most vocal supporters of such a move, I feel somehow responsible

As we’re hosted by Wordpress, there’s very little tricks we can do server-side to “trick up” our search rankings. I agree with Vincent, our search ranking is just an indicator of what how interesting our stuff is. The correct way is to write interesting stuff. The site is, after all, for readers, not search engines.

@ Raphaël : Fine. As soon as we get $1 million, we’ll buy a blog dedicated to medical tourism. It will surely be a wise move.

@Julien : Fine. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to reach .htaccess through Wordpress…thanks for the tip whatsoever.

Personally, I’m reminded of two inspiring quotes:

“We’ve never tried to become number one in terms of volumes or revenues; as long as we keep improving our quality, size will automatically follow.” Katsuaki Watanabe on the Toyata-way.

and:

“If you build it, they will come.” ‘The Field of Dreams’.

Hi Jérémy,

I suggest you change the URLs of your posts and categories… If your trackbacks do not work, use this opportunity to optimize your URLs. At least delete the date, or replace it with the main category of the article: example:

http://www.blog-conversion.com/service-client/netflix-sur-quels-canaux-devez-vous-proposer-votre-service-client/

It boosted traffic from search engines from 30% to 55%… And i still think I should have more.

You should buy a popular website and redirect it to Techiteasy. I ve heard trhat espn.com was worth a few bucks…

Hum, guys, you should never ever have lost any of the traffic from search engines…

You should do Apache Redirect (Permanent : 301) , either in .htaccess files or in PHP.

If this is done well, cleanly and quickly, you might have a chance to recover…
