For many moons I have been having problems with the WordPress blank screen of death. It seems that there are lot’s of problems that can cause your WordPress install to go south. After removing my wp-config file, the core site files and removing, installing, activating and deactivating plug-ins, scouring through days worth of blog posts … I came up empty for a solution to the dreaded problem. However, I “think” I have finally found the issue with my installs. However, I’m not 100 percent confident … yet.

Back around WP 2.5 … I blogged about having White Out  issues after I upgraded … I didn’t know why the hell it happened … after several attempts to the obvious solutions on the WP codex and on several blogger’s sites, I gave up … I just figured that it must be some thing with my permissions or something I just couldn’t find … until I decided to take the advice of one developer that said to log on to my server through a bash shell and upgrade WP through bash … so, I did … and apparently it worked.

In a nutshell, my problem seems to be from transferring files to my server through FTP … for some reason the files are not getting to the server in the right condition. So, I decided to follow the directions for the bash install of WP …

All I can really say is that I am definitely going to be learning my Linux shell commands from here on out … as soon as I ran the command … the damned tarball was downloaded … The files were then decompressed in a flash by simply running

tar http://wordpress.org/lastest.tar.gz

This was the fastest damned upgrade I could have ever imagined and better yet … my problem disappeared …

Matt Cutts reveals on his Blog, how webmasters can easily get backlinks to their site that they may have not even known existed. The trick is not even a secret. It’s wide open for all to see in Google WebMaster tools. Right from within Google’s dashboard, there is a field for web crawl errors.

If there is anyone linking to any of your 404 pages, you can easily drill down in to the data and find the URL of the site that offered you a link. This is too easy. From there, all you have to do is contact the owner of the site, and ask them if they mind linking to your “new” page. Just don’t forget to thank them for linking in the first place.

It’s no surprise I prefer doing SEO for Lawyers, Attorneys and Law Firms than other verticals. Generating leads for lawyers is a win-win situation. The lawyers are happy – well relatively anyways, and the cost for SEO services are justifiable. How so? Well it’s quite simple. Let’s say that a personal injury lawyer makes anywhere from around $10,000 to let’s say $25,000 per case – giving the benefit of the doubt. Of course these numbers are merely estimates. Any ways, if a lawyer generates one $10,000 client a month from their web site, that’s $120,000 a year. Granted, the cost of an SEO campaign to obtain the rankings required to get those leads will probably cost at least %25 of that, that’s still $90,000 a year. Not bad. So SEO for lawyers is a good investment.
