Some SEO Tweaks on 8 Mar 2008
March 8, 2008
I've made a few more changes. This times it's especially for SEO purpose.
Blog Title
I change my blog name from 'Webmaster Binh Nguyen's Blog | Binh.name' to 'SEO Web Designer Binh Nguyen'.This title more accurately describes my position. Firstly 'webmaster' doesn't need to have strong programming skills. Secondly, although I'm more a web developer (more coding) than a web designer (more designing) but people don't use the term web developer as often as web designer.
Another point to be noticed is that I practice more SEO design than Graphic design. That's why now I choose SEO Web Designer.
Blog Description
I change the blog description from 'Website homepage & blog of Binh Nguyen. Web design/development, web tools, computer maintenance help.' to some more natural speaking sentence 'Freelance web developer Binh Nguyen provides free advices for SEO, website design, computers, blogging & web related issues'.
Meta Titles
Previously I suffix every web page on my blog with a suffix such as "Binh dot Name" or "Binh.name" or "Binh". But due to some Simple Blogging SEO Tweaks done by Collin on MixedMarketArts.com I decide to also test out the meta titles without any suffix. According to Collin, removing the suffix helps him gain more traffic from Google. Let's test if it's real or only a special case results.
I also went ahead and modify the meta title of the Pages to be more unique in the whole World Wide Web.
What's Next?
These decisions I made are not permanent. I will need to adapt to the majority of web users and what Google wants. That's why, I really need your opinions. Do you have some "best of breed" options for those 3 SEO considerations on a blog/website? Then please feel free to speak it out here. Your opinions (critics) are appreciated.

Hello Binh. I would be honored if you emailed me in a week or two with an update about how your search engine traffic increased/decreased so that I can add it to my case study.
