{Another great original data-digest by Tim Boucher!}™

I’m experimenting with flat HTML files which contain high-quality original data. I haven’t got the hard evidence to back it up, but I have an inkling that Google will rank flat HTML files significantly higher than pages created automatically out of a database, such as WordPress creates. I love the convenience of WP, but I wonder how much more highly my data would be ranked were the 7,500 pages on this website all flat HTML files.

In any case, I’ve redone both my root drive of this domain, timboucher.com with that in mind, along with beginning a cultivation scheme on the travelingperformer.com domain. With that one, my plan is to create highly-compressed “data-digests” on very micro topics related to my current field of study. For example, this first one is a list of all the types of traveling performers I could think of, along with hazarding a definition of what a performer actually is or does. Intending to put together many highly focused topical “lenses” like this, which hopefully will provide a nice conceptual framework for me to do further research and interest others in these topics.

Also check out circuscharacters.org for similarly-themed information, presented in a more extended essay format.

    There is NO technical reason to think that google would mark ordinary HTML higher than wordpress files. In fact, aside from loading time, google would NOT see a difference. After all - all this is HTML too.

    There are ways to speed up loading time - like installing the wp-cache plugin.

    What WOULD definitely get you better results in google however is to make sure your title tags are formulated a bit more efficiently. Starting them with ‘The Tim Boucher Experience’ isn’t exactly optimal. Try the all in one SEO pack and perhaps some of the other plugins collected here:

    Don’t search engines ever get nostalgic?
