Daniel…I have a 3 part question. Actually 3 questions:

1. On WordPress there is a button for a “recipe box” to be included in your posts. Does this “recipe box” in any way stop google from reading what is inside that box?

2. I have a second blog. I want to completly change what I write about on that blog. I want to keep the url and even where it is hosted. Question: If I were to delete all the catagories and posts that are now on that blog but kept the url, name, and host would I lose the page rank that it now has?

3. The tags that are at the bottom of wordpress posts: Are they used by search engines or are they just internal tracking devices? If they are used by search engines to rank and index..should the main keywords, that are also in the title, be used as tags?

Thanks…

Since you came up with the answer for my question on XML sitemap in Q&A 28, here is my regular question to you for this session, Q&A 27. (I’m joining with potato chef for this question):

How effective is the WordPress tags in SEO? If it is very important, give some tips and techniques on writing those tags.

Is using Autmated Responder plugins a good idea? For example, I got an e-mail from a blog when I left a comment saying “Thanks for Commenting……”

Is their any method to do it with Blogger?

@ mother in israel

Bounce rate is the percentage of people who did not click on to a second page and did not stay long enough when they land on your website.

That means if 100 arrived and 20 left within 30 seconds, your bounce rate is 20%. You can find out your numbers by installing Google Analytics.

Hope that helps.
