Well, thanks to you all for the helping hand, I was thinking there might be something wrong with my hosting so I found a site that did a reverse IP and I realized my sites are hosted on A server with well over 1,000 other sites on it (A little excessive I think). My guess is that’s the problem because I am using only 2 or 3 plugins for each so this is obviously not the issue.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for the links HandySolo, I will definately check those out and thanks to you all for your help.

PS: Resiny, may I offer you a valium,
just kidding..lol
It was only a question..

mylagoon, I am very happy to hear that, I feel much better now, really. congrats…

I am working on my first wordpress but have been involved in websites for a couple of years and have read much about search engines.

Remember Google is much different than Yahoo, Msn etc.

Google does take keywords in the URL into consideration but does take much more into consideration also, when judging a website.
The other search engines on the other hand consider it much more.

So, I would say don’t bother to do it for google because there is much more that go into the Google algorithm BUT, it definately will help in the rest of the engines.

All traffic helps, I did it for my wp…

Bump..

Hi again, just to bring this issue to the front lines again.

To give you an idea, I have tried to use (manipulate) the following code which displays all posts.

<UL>
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?> <!– <span class=”date”><?php the_time(‘F jS’) ?></span> –>
<LI> <H3 ID=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><A HREF=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” REL=”bookmark”>
<?php the_title() ?> </A></H3></LI><DIV CLASS=”entrymeta”> <?php _e(“Category:”); ?>
<?php the_category(‘,’) ?> </DIV><?php wp_link_pages(); ?> <?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
<DIV CLASS=”edit”><SPAN CLASS=”commentlink”> <?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</SPAN></DIV><!–
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
–> <?php comments_template(); ?> <?php endforeach; else: ?> <?php _e(‘Sorry, no products matched your criteria.’); ?>
<P> </P><?php endif; ?> <DIV CLASS=”center”> <?php posts_nav_link(‘  ‘, __(‘« Previous’), __(‘Next »’)); ?>
</DIV>
</UL>

Unfortunately, this piece of code will display all posts and it would be great if someone can edit it to display only the posts in category 1. and again to display all posts except category 1.

Any help would be appreciated.
