    Hello everybody,

    I just launched my website 2 months ago and wondering what you think about the site speed, layout design, etc.
    Any tips on improving my website are welcome. Small or big, I'll look into it.

    I'm aware of validating errors, and fixed alot of them, but don't know if the remaining errors can effect site speed etc.

    I don't have so much time to look so deep into you site. But the first thing I noticed is that you're not doing nofollow to many links.

    I mean, Why the heck there isn't a nofollow tag on twitter's link for example. Same for devientart and all the other 20 external links. That kills your seo.

    CoolMentality.com link at the footer links to CoolMentality.com/index.php, I guess you'd better use a canonical link.

    Good luck

    Yes, I was thinking about doing that yesterday after reading about it on another blog, but totally forgot about it. Thank you for pointing that out.

    The link links to http://www.coolmentality.com/index.php. Do you mean that I should remove the /index.php from the link?
    I'll remove it because I really don't know why I had it point to /index.php when it automatically goes there.

    Thanks and more feedback is welcome. ;-)

    Is there a way to add rel="nofollow" to blogroll links?

    Okay, I've decided to automaticly add rel="nofollow" to links in posts.
    Only to add rel="nofollow" to certain links in wordpress could probably be done with a plugin or hack. Need to look into that.

    First off, You can always edit your posts instead of adding new ones here.

    About the link, I don't know you have to decide! Here in this post you linked to domain.com and on the site it is domain.com/index.php

    Here's a protip for you: To search engines, All the following forms of links are different from another...

    http://www.domain.com
    domain.com
    http://www.domain.com/
    domain.com/
    http://www.domain.com/index.php
    domain.com/index.php

    All of these links are different from another, You have to focus on one of them.

    1. Make 301 redirects.
    2. Use canonical links
    3. Set preferred domain from GWMT

    About the nofollow tags, I usually don't add nofollow links in posts, Because I must be mentioning them because they worth something and deserves a link :)

    You don't have to be all paranoid about the nofollow tags and PR flowing to them, But at least work on the link in your home page.

    There's a limited amount of time that you can edit your posts here, so only the last post was too much.

    For the posts, alot of links are for commercial sites and google searches, so there's no harm to put nofollow there.

    Only the blogroll seems like a problem, because I have 3 categories and there's only 1 category were I want the nofollow tag. WordPress doesn't support that unfortunately.

    Thanks for the feedback and the clarification about the links. It's better to keep them consistant.

    Like I said, The posts are deeper links. So the home page takes all priorities. You can't have all these many links on the homepage.

    You're welcome.
