<p>Thank you for your explanation of RSS (Real Simple Syndication) during the Word Press SEO Call.

Last night we made a big one so we owe an apology to those that were listening online to our WordPress SEO Call last night. <a href="http://instantTeleseminar.com/productInfo.asp?x=1321173" target="_blank">Instant Teleseminar</a> did exactly what we had programmed and finished exactly at 8 pm. Oops.</p>
<p>We were not quite done but we missed hitting the extend button so the technology did exactly what it was programmed for and we got egg on our face.</p>
<p>The good thing is that we still had the other recording and the people who had called in on the phone were not effected. Only the people listening on the web got unceremoniously cut off. For that we apologize.</p>
<p>There was not going to be any replay of this call but we have placed the missing portion that those on the web got cut off from up on our <a href="http://mikeandstevetalk.com/seo/index2.html" target="_blank">apology page</a>.</p>
<p>The problems have caused us to keep the discount on the recordings, transcripts and various work books until midnight tonight. So if you enjoyed the call and want to be able to refer back to the information again and again (you should) then you can save some money of you order it today.</p>

Tags have been integrated into the main WordPress install for the last few versions.</p>
<p>Tags gives you some increased internal linking on your blog and another page of content for the search engines to index. This can help you get double listings in the search engines for your targeted keywords.</p>
<p>Yesterday when checking two new blogs that I installed last week it was quite revealing to see that the tag pages were drawing the majority of the visitors. This will change as the blog ages and I do more linking to the actual pages but was quite interesting to see on a brand new blog that the tag pages generated the initial traffic as they ranked higher than the content itself.</p>
<p>This is just one of the topics that we will be discussing on our free <a href="http://mikeandstevetalk.com/seo/" target="_blank">WordPress SEO Call</a> &#8211; Wednesday at 7 pm edt. You do need to register to attend.</p>
