Re: Google Custom Search Insted Of Default Search Function on WordPress?

Having Google's name on your site might help with credibility. Trying it and watching your bounce rate and/or click path would be interesting. Since all the pages from either search path are dynamically generated they're not sitting around for any of the spiders to index, so there's not likely to be a duplicate content issue. That's assuming you've done the basic SEO things to your wordpress blog, like no-follow the appropriate categories and archives, and 301 the other linking structures.

Check out the eye tracking research at www.enquiroresearch.com, the Google Golden Triangle study in particular.

You're absolutely right, that once you fall of the first page you're kind of toast if it's not a high traffic keyword.

You're quite welcome. It's fun to sit beside him in a session like that one (Black Hat vs White Hat)

The idea of an engine with freshness as it's core is as impressive as the original impetus behind Google. It/ll be interesting to watch this unfold.

Twitter forgot the rules that Facebook reminded everyone about.....only 3% of users might be effected but far more people care about it.

Re: Wordpress Categories vs Tags from an SEO Perspective

I've gotta disagree with your strategy in favour of a slightly more clear-cut one.

Only one category per post. Multiple tags.
Index categories. Noindex/nofollow tags.

You want to make sure your content lives in as few places as possible, and that it's building strong themes. If there's something that appears to be a relevant theme, use AllInOne to expose just that tag.

That said, I will use two categories if it's a guest post, and the guest post catagory will be noindexed/nofollowed. That's when I'm dealing with a duplicate content problem. The AllInOne's use of the canonical tag helps quite a bit too.

I like Trace's system for this example. I suppose it depends on where you're at with your blog and your goals. I work for a SEO firm, and have clients with over a hundred blogs, some 4-5 years old with 1000's of posts....but for a new blog that might be the way to go.
