Changes ahead for our community strategy on bakersfield.com

There's much more to come on this in the coming months, but we're going to be making some major changes to how we engage our readers on bakersfield.com and elsewhere in what we call the Bakosphere ("Where Bakersfield and the Web collide").

Those changes include a next-generation Opinion site to come that will require real names to post and comment, new strategies with our popular bakersfield.com blogs, and more engagement with local people outside of our network of websites.

You can read more in the BdotCOM blog on bakersfield.com, where reaction understandably has has been mixed.

No thanks, Carlos.

Since launching this site about a year ago, I've learned a lot more about SEO and here's my advice to anyone reading who has a personal site: Do the SEO yourself.

The keys are a clean taxonomy, good tagging, consistent posting and in-bound links from quality sites. Not to brag, but I've got great SEO.

Above-board SEO consultants have their place. Ones who place their names willy-nilly on websites hoping for a stray sales lead do not. Buyer beware.

Yeah that's right Logan.
SEO is just all about consistency and doing the correct white hat things.
Stay away from the dark side and work hard at your onsite optimization and link building, and you will see success.
Of course proper keyword research is essential too.
