4 Factors that will help your Blog Outshine Others

Now-a-days, almost every organization and individual owns a blog and their ardent desire is to make their blog a very popular one on Google with maximum back links and high page rank. However, there are very few who actually know the correct process for making their blog popular and successful with increasing traffic coming to it.

So for all such people who lack in proper knowledge that can make their blog a popular and successful one, we have mentioned some information which will prove to be useful.

Have a read-through:

Publish more frequently- Always remember, the more posts you publish on your blog, the more authenticated and reliable one your blog will be considered by Google. It means if there is a 2 years old blog site which publishes 1 post every month or every 2 months and there is your blog which is just half-an-year old but on it 2-3 posts are published every week, then chances are quite likely that your blog will be considered as more matured and trusted one by the search engine and its page rank will also be higher than the older one. So make it a point to publish as many posts as you can and as frequently as you can.

Quality is more important than Quality- Although as mentioned, it is very important for a blog to publish posts frequently in order to remain in the good books of Google however, not to undermine is the fact that quality is more important than quantity and always be so, not only for Google but for every other search engines. So when you are publishing posts on your blog, make sure you are not being driven by the time factor and compromising on the quality. Ensure whatever you are posting has quality and is worth being posted on your blog, thus they are unique and informative.

Proper Interlinking- Efficient linking is as important as posting. No matter how many posts you publish every week, it will be of practically no use if your blog is not interlinked- read more and keyword based linking. Interlinking of the inner pages of the website with the home page with high page rank and keywords within the content linked with other relevant content always proves to be beneficial as it shows the vastness of the blog and gives an impression of the detailed information it contains.

Keep the fundamentals correct- Make sure you never loose out on the basics of content. It means, while writing the content for the post, ensure that the basics of content writing – keyword density, keyword proximity, keyword prominence etc are kept intact. Being SEO friendly is a very important thing to be for the blog contents. And last but not the least, neither ignore the keywords nor be over-obsessed with it. What precisely I mean is that the content for the blog post should be unique, informative, grammatically correct, rich and social media as well as SEO friendly. Intact

Google Instant Preview and its effect on Search Engine Optimization…!

Now that we are taking about “Google Instant Preview” today and since it is a new topic on our Blog, so first let’s understand what exactly Google Instant Preview is…?

In simple language ‘GIP’ can be explained as a simple application which acts as the addition to the Google Instant Makeover and gives to the user, the benefit of getting a preview of the website while rolling the mouse over the search results and much before opening any particular site. In other words it can also be said that Google Instant Preview is an add-on which gives a graphic representation of the web-page in reference to the keywords or in accordance to the highlighted word or group of words within the search query. And with the facility, the addition-to-the Google enables search-engine-users to immediately compare the search results and thus save time (it helps them in saving time because the user does not have to open each and every site to see what they are looking for, is there or not…).

Now moving on lets discuss the already much discussed topic… “Does Google Instant Preview” affect search engine optimization of a website at all…? There has been much discussion and debate over the above mentioned topic however, still not many are aware of what has been the outcome of all of those, so let’s understand now:

See, it is very clear that with the help of the add-on, people will not have to open as many links as they used to when the instant-preview option was not available. Hence the number of websites, people generally open while browsing will naturally get reduced, as searchers will be able to see what the site is all about and whether it is helpful for them or not. Now…, this also meas that the webmasters/search engine optimizers will have to ensure that their website is performing its best in every ways, whether it is about giving information with the help contents, graphic representations or imagery displays etc. It is also important that the content of the website is based on most relevant keywords according to the theme of the site (as they help in getting traffic) and moreover, the website regularly updated so that it doesn’t give an impression of stagnation to the online searcher. Even the Meta descriptions which play a very important role in the process of SEO should be made highly relevant and the over all look and feel of the website should be attractive enough to catch the attention of the users.

Thus, we come to believe that as a matter of fact, every addition or change in Google have some consequences on the SEO mechanism and Google Instant Preview is no exception however, it will not make that huge of a difference, provided one takes the necessary precautionary steps in advance.

Importance of Keyword Research

One of the basic aspects of search engine optimization, also referred as SEO, is the process of keyword research. However, there are many people (not used to the basics of internet) who still don’t know what does a ‘keyword’ mean, why is it considered as an indispensable part of the process of Search Optimization and why are they given so much importance and value by the webmasters. So for such people, it it becomes necessary for me to first of all explain, what exactly a Keyword means….’So you just recall last time you searched something on the net for your academic, professional or personal use. You must have typed some words or phrases in the search box of the search engines like Bing, Yahoo or Google, so as to get the exact results…

Those words or group of words (phrases) that you typed (or people type) to retrieve information are the keywords. Thus in short keywords can be explained as the elementary components that drive traffic into a website. By optimizing keywords, which is one of the most important aspect of the search engine process, one can drive maximum traffic to one’s website, blogs videos and even articles (if you are engaged in Article marketing and want to make a lot of money from it). And increased traffic will subsequently help you in increasing and improving your page ranks/web rank. Not only these, but with the use of relevant keywords you can also ensure that relevant quality traffic is coming to your website/articles/blogs etc. And last but certainly not the least, using and targeting the right keywords or the keywords best suited to your business theme & goal will efficiently determine the success of your website/online business.

Now you must have understood the basics of keyword and why they are considered an indispensable part of SEO and moreover must be thinking, how can one get the perfect keywords for their website or business and how to go about the keyword research process… So remember, the best way to do a keyword research is to use online tools or Google keyword research tool because they will easily help you in knowing the popular words that most of the internet visitors use for getting results. However, there are a few other factors you need to keep in mind during the keyword research process. They are:

  • First of all, very clearly define and understand the theme and motive of your business. Never mix goals. For example, if your are into buying and selling of used motor bikes then choose words like second-hand bikes or used bikes rather than going for generic words like bikes or automobiles.
  • Keyword phrases are always better than single words because they are less competitive yet they give defined results. However, never go for long sentences that have more than 3 words.
  • If you have a specifically targeted audience then be very particular about the geography while selecting the keywords.
  • Neither go for highly competitive keywords nor choose the least competitive ones.
  • Last, remember Keyword research is a continuous process and so you should do it periodically to keep your site ranking high.

As a matter for fact, in today’s cut-throat competition it is almost imperative for a business to get noticed if it wants to be successful and if you have an online business then Keyword research is one activity which will take you a few steps closer to your goal.

Social Media Campaigns; Introduction and Tips to Monitor Them Effectively

Now that we are talking about social media campaign today…let’s begin with discussing ‘what exactly social media is’…? And this is important because it will be a futile effort discussing social media campaign if the basics of Social Media remains unclear and more-so because even today we come across many people who are not aware of the basics of social media itself.

So let’s understand:

Social Media can be best defined as a platform/channel which allows people to communicate (share thoughts, opinion, information, knowledge etc) with other members present on the forum, thereby fulfilling their agenda of joining the forum which could be anything- advertising, entertainment or spreading awareness for any cause’. Some common examples of popular social media in present times include Facebook, Twitter & Linkedin. Now let’s understand what is Social Media Campaign-: ‘Any campaign that is conducted on one or more social networking platforms backed by a motive is called a Social Media Campaign‘.

Monitoring Social Media Campaign-

No matter how big or small a SMC is, it is imperative for the webmaster to keep a track of the campaign on regular basis, thereby monitoring its ROI to business. However, what needs to be checked-on, primarily depends on the goal & agenda of the campaign which could differ from business to business; for example spreading awareness, promotion of website, products or services, accelerating traffic, getting customers out of visitors etc.

Campaigns running on social networking platform, can be best tracked with the help of Analytics packages like Google Analytics, Omniture SiteCatalyst and many more. These tools should be interfaced with the website to give information such as site traffic trends, referral origins, and click paths of online visitors throughout the site. Apart from using website analytics, one can also choose from several tools that are specially designed for tracking social media campaigns. Examples- HootSuite, for Twitter helps in tracking statistics, SocialToo is for tracking follows etc. If you want to use Bookmarks as a part of your campaign and want to keep a tab of how readers are sharing your wrtite-ups then PostRank is the tool for you. For tracking campaigns running on Facebook, Facebook insights is one of the best options. There are also many other free tools like Addictomatic etc which can help you in monitoring your campaign across numerous networking sites.

However before using, please ensure the tool you are about to use will give you the best desired results.

Optimizing URLs for Google…How Necessary is it…?

Now that we are talking about URLs and optimization of URLs today, let me first ask you all… Do we really need to optimize URLs for better functioning or just leaving them as they are is perfectly fine…?

The above mentioned is one of the most common questions among the webmasters and search engine optimizers these days… and there seems to be some confusion about them. The confusion prevails because once Google had clearly stated that the search engines does not have any difficulty in crawling over long and moderately complicated URLs and if the content present on the webpage is significant and keyword based then the spiders can easily understand their meaning and theme of the web page/website. However, in recent times Google initiated a new parameter for filtering the URLs which in return could help Google bots make logic of the less relevant characters present in the dynamically produced URLs.

So what does it mean, should we use it to filter the URLs for helping Google or simply leave the dynamically created URLs the way they are…? Well considering the repercussions of easy crawling of the search engines, it is advisable that you must always use the parameter and keep the URLs well optimized all the time and this should be done to make the crawling and understanding task easier for the search engine: Google. And in return it will always benefit your site!!!

Thus, it can be said… “Yes it is necessary to Optimize URLs “ for Google and this is necessary only for making them similar to the content and to give clear indication about the content to Google.

Will Linking to Numerous Websites Diminish your Web Page Rank?

Most of the webmasters and search engine optimizers believe that the more backlinks/in-links/in-coming links you have on important pages of your website, (homepage, product pages, service pages etc) the more are the chances of your site being preferred and valued by the search engines. And this will be followed by increase in the chances of your web pages getting top page ranks.

This is because, Google Page Rank depends heavily upon the number of backlinks your web pages have and also because at many occasions Google has clearly stated that the outgoing links on the web pages does not have any direct influence on the page rank. And so, instead of giving links to many other prominent sites, one must pay more attention in getting links form them. However, when we say ‘getting links’ which means ‘backlinks’, it means getting them from quality sites i.e. sites that have high page rank from Google.

However, many times it becomes difficult for webmasters to get backlinks for their sites when they do not choose to give links to other sites. If this is the situation with you too, then there is a solution…If at all you cannot do without giving link to others then make sure you are linking your site to sites and are genuine, reputed and has high page rank and not to any other site that comes your way. It is very necessary because if a site gets banned due to its unethical practices and has a link of your site on it, then your site will also get in their network and this may increase the possibilities of getting you into a bad reputation.

Thus it is advisable that instead of cutting down on the number of outgoing links, ensure that you link your site with only trustworthy ones. And in case if it becomes necessary for you to link with someone you don’t know much about, then never ever forget to use no-follow tags; which helps in giving the crawlers necessary signal.

And most importantly, remember linking to sites will neither influence not affect your page rank till you are sure about whom you are linking to.

Thus, it is never the numbers but always the quality that works!

However, while paying much attention on design aspects of a web page most of the web developers forget to give due attention to other necessary aspects.

Some of such aspects which you need to take care-of are:

Do not focus only on 1-2 keywords or keyword phrases rather make a wide list of keywords & focus on all of them-there was a time when people would only pay attention on 1 or 2 keywords but now time as well as most of Google’s algorithms have changed and so it is the time when you need to change your techniques too. Thus focus on maximum number of keywords to get more attention from search engines thereby getting wider range of target audience and more of online clients.

Try to increase relevancy of your keywords and not its density- always remember it is not the repetition of keywords that help but it is the relevancy that helps the most.  Now-a-days it is also very necessary to pay proper attention on other factors like relevancy, context, references and traction. Remember search engine robots are intelligent enough to figure out if the copy was written for search engines or otherwise.

Pay double the time on optimizing elements like semantic markup, code optimization, clean code and many more. Ensure that your page titles, H-tags etc are perfectly placed & used.

If you are using Graphics then necessarily ensure that the page load time is not increasing and very importantly- graphic codes are well optimized.

If you are using enough content on your page to pass on the information to your visitors then it is necessary for you to highlight the most important lines/information within the content. Also, never forget to link important content/information with relevant anchor texts on your site  to ensure proper inter-linking of pages for better crawling.

Try the above mentioned and see the results!
