By: Command Line Interface Custom Wordpress Theme CLI 1.0 Google SEO, Successful Blogging, Online Marketing

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 07:44:39 +0000

[...] Wow! Released yesterday is, what I would consider, The Best Custom Wordpress Theme Online. It is called Command Line Interface, or CLI 1.0. The author, Rod McFarland says, “CLI 1.0 is an AJAXy terminal simulator that brings back the commingling of presentation and logic”. The Theme Viewer community all agree: “CLI is a very interesting theme that I have stumbled on so far. The theme is actually a command-line interface. I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t see much use of it on normal blogs because your visitors will have no clue what to do! But if you have geeks visitingÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ it can be fun! “. [...]

Heather,

You don’t have to change the order of your links on your page at all unless you are unhappy with the order in which the Googlebot sees them in. There isn’t a right or wrong way to order your links… It all depends on which sections, links, pages, etc… on your site you consider to be most valuable. In other words, which pages, links, or sections of your site do you want to work on getting the most crawler traffic to? Again, the more crawler traffic to certain sections of your site mean a more thorough indexing which means a deeper crawl into your deep linked pages. There are no rules, the Text Based Web browser is just a tool that you can use to examine how pages look to Googlebots. You have to use your own judgement with which links the Googlebot should see first. You might be like me… happy with how things already are.

Thanks for the comment.

Chris,

The program itself doesn’t help improve your site’s SEO. The program is a tool for you to use to improve your site’s SEO. Such as a wrench is used as a tool to loosen a bolt. Viewing your site using this Text Based Web browser allows you to see your site in a way that is very similar to how a Googlebot would see it.
Why is this important? You might ask…

The reason why this is important is because you can see which links get crawled first on your pages. If you are trying to flood indexing on a certain section of your site, you would want to be assured that this section would be one of the first links that the bot finds on first on your page. Now, you can place a link on your page where you think is best, but that may differ from where a Googlebots actually sees the link… for all you know, the link could be one of the last pages the Googlebot crawls to and indexes. I hope you are with me now.

Best Regards,
Garry Conn

Okay, I got Links installed and I figured out how to use it, but I don’t see what you are talking about. How does this help me improve my SEO? I don’t get it?

White,

Thanks for the comment, and yes I believe that you are correct. It seems that the Googlebots read straight down the file, disregarding any rich format that we see live using a normal Web browser.

What I am learning is that you have to really write some Good HTML in order to make your links appear in the exact order you want the Googlebots to see them in. Out of the box, Wordpress does pretty good with this. But what I see in other sites is the various plugins and added stuff in the sidebars messing with things. Also it seems that the feed urls are usually the very first link the Googlebots see… It’s pretty interesting stuff, and I think I personally have a new tool for improving my site’s optimization for Google.
