<?php wp_head(); ?>

just before the closing head tag in header.php.

Im conducting an experiment, I’m going to have it randomly pick one of my aliases at runtime and insert it as the author name, lets see if the search engines show me some love.

using the p2 theme..

entry.php (~ line 16)

printf(
  '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s">'.randomName().'</a>',
   get_author_posts_url( p2_get_author_id() ),
   sprintf( __( 'Posts by %s', 'p2' ), p2_get_author_name() ),
  get_the_author()
  );

function.php

function randomName(){

    $myName = array('Nathan Haskins', 'Neight Haskins', 'Nathan A Haskins', 'Nate Haskins', 'nhaskins', 'neight401');
    $randValue = rand(0, count($myName)-1);
    $output = $myName[$randValue];
    return $output;
}

*sidenote if I use markup=”none” in the code tags, it will prevent the anchor tags from turing into links… nice

Update: 5/9/10
-The experiment is working, and I’m quicking ranking as #1 most of my aliases now hah! The variation of ‘nate haskins’ is going to be difficult to get…

Update 5/10/10
google search results

‘neight401′ – #1 result
‘nathan haskins ‘ – #1 result
‘nhaskins’ – #2 result… getting beat out by some dude commenting on a mac forum.
‘nate haskins ‘ – still not found on the first page
‘neight’ – still not found on the first page
