Now this is not spam as in “Buy V1Agra”, but spam as in useless annoying news feeds posts that the applications make. These types of posts are automatically generated by these applications to let your friends. This can be interesting for a while or if you are actually interested in the application/game. Though, most of us are not. Plus, must of these are from applications like FarmVille and Mafia Wars (and the like) which have been dubbed: ScamVille.

    I don't think WP SEO is all about just the 'SEO'. I'm rather sure a good part of it is the actual design of the page. Of course the keywords, tags and everything like that is important. Though it's also important how the site looks.

    If it weren't the case, no one would ever change their design. Also, you would never hear such a thing like "The new site redesign increased our conversion by 15%". Thus, looks have to be a important and integral part of SEO.

    So what makes a good SEO design? That is a darn good question. I'd sure like to find it out. Until I know how, I'm going to go by the idea that functionality is the most important aspect. Also, I'm looking at some of the blogs from the top marketers and trying to integrate their designs into my blog.

    Hope this turns into a nice business venture. Yey for 'another' social media platform that we'll have to use.
