Archive in your Sidebar (Tag Team Widgetize Anything and SRG Clean Archive

By Dave Smith Thursday September 13, 2007

Recently Eric on Search was doing a little insightful thinking about the continued indexing of the pages at realestateweblogging101. He suggested that the internal linking structure was one of the things helping keep these pages in the Google active index.

archive postsEvery page on the site had a link to the other pages on the site because of the links to those pages being provided on each page in the sidebar.

So why not put the archives for the site in the sidebar instead of just on a single archive page. If the archive pages falls out of the active index (I’ve had that happen) then you loose all the internal linking from that page.

But what are the odds of having all of your pages out of the active index.

So I decided to take the SRG Clean Archives Plugin 4.1 and use the suggested code for placing the archive in the sidebar.

I’m using the widget function for all of my sites now so I had to have a way to put this code inside a widget that would accept php code.

I tried several, blew the lab up a couple of times, (literally) and finally decided on Widgetize Anything Once I got the lab put back together and the mess cleaned up. . .

I activated Widgetize Anything pasted the single line of PHP code provided in the read me with SRG Clean Archive. Next I set the options for the SRG Clean Archive and just like that, I have a link from every post to every post and page on the site. You can see it at the bottom of the right hand navigation.

Side note here: (you only put the code inside the widget, not the php declaration at the beginning and end) so all you paste is :

if (function_exists(’srg_clean_archives’)) { srg_clean_archives(); }

Now I just site back wait and watch and see if there is any improvement in keeping post in the index and hopefully getting some out of the supplemental index and back in the active index.

I do like the Widgetize anything widget, and you already know I’m a big fan of SGR Clean Archives. I’ll be using this tag team in the future for more sites.
