This release removes the dependency on the excerpt reloaded plugin and fixes the “more” tag which used to disappear when you overrode the excerpt.  For more information and to leave comments, go here.

The initial research into Search Engine Optimization of GothamSchools.org was discussed in this post.  Since then, I have made some changes to the site:

• I changed the <title> tag on the home page of the site to read “GothamSchools - Breaking News and Analysis of the NYC Public Schools”

• I changed the text inside the <h1> to read “GothamSchools — daily independent reporting on NYC public schools”.  I’m not sure if this text will have any effect on the rankings since the CSS makes it invisible.

These changes were made on December, 19, 2008.  Within a day or so I noticed a change in our ranking for some of our keyword phrases.  The new rankings fluctuated a bit over the last few weeks.  Today, this is how GothamSchools is ranking:

• nyc schools (37)
• schools in nyc (32)
• nyc public schools (33)
• new york schools (> 50)
• school nyc (> 50)
• nyc education (> 50)
• new york city schools (> 50)
