On Web Page Usability

Great article from Smashing Magazine, 10 Useful Usability Findings and Guidelines.

Highly recommended.  I’m already working on my new NoT template, which will have less fluff in the head, and more content above the fold.  I’m also going to further cut down how many posts I display on the index page, making more judicious use of the more and excerpt functionality in WordPress.

If you would like me to write more about SEO, feel free to add a comment, and let me know what you would like to see discussed.

Nearly one million backlinks

I don’t remember how, but I found my way to this Stephan Kinsella article at LewRockwell.com and had my SEOQuake plugin enabled in Firefox.

At the top of the page, the seobar (search engine optimization) appears with relevant web metrics.

Lew Rockwell SEO Stats

We’re looking at the Yahoo count of backlinks. The red arrow on the left points to the number of links Yahoo has tracked to this specific page and the blue arrow on the right, points to the total number of links to the lewrockwell.com domain. It’s this latter amount that interested me.

908,520 backlinks since November 28th, 1999. That’s more than 90,000 links per year, more than 240 per day. 7 days a week.

That is enormous weight and authority to a single domain. That’s staying power. And relevance.

I read LRC every day. I think a lot of other libertarians do as well. The numbers seem to bear it out.
