Google Pagerank Is Updating – EzyBlogger Now PR3

EzyBlogger — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:34:37 +0000

I noticed Google pagerank is updating when I visited Kevin Muldoon’s blog – Time To Tweet.

I was surprised to see that Time To Tweet now have a Google pagerank 2.

I know Time To Tweet has a PR0 yesterday so Google must be doing some pagerank updates.

The next blog I check have to be my own blog – EzyBlogger.

I’m surprised to see that EzyBlogger now have PR3 !! Cool.

I did some google search and yes many sites are saying Google is updating the pagerank.

The last pagerank update was in April and you can say that this round of updates is earlier than before where the updates are normally every 90 days or so.

A lot of people says that Google pagerank is not important – I agree but it does play a role to some extent.

Overall all my websites and blogs recorded higher PRs while some were downgraded and a few remains the same.

What about you ?

How did your blogs score on the latest pagerank updates ?

Using Twitter To Gain Blog Traffic

EzyBlogger — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:54:38 +0000

Twitter like other social networks is a great source of blog traffic if you use it correctly.

Twitter is not just for fun but can also be used much like other social networking media to gain more traffic.

In this case, you want to attract more blog traffic.

Twitter can help with that.

Like other social networks, millions of people use Twitter.

It is a micro-universe of potential visitors just waiting to be tapped.

The question is how to get them to take a look at you.

First of all, sign up for an account if you don’t already have one.

You can’t find the right people unless you get in the game.

Don’t worry about creating a business account at this point.

You are only concerned with connecting with people now.

Next, get involved.

Read other people’s tweets; join as a follower for popular tweeters.

You can use Twitter applications to track the tweets of others and also do keyword searches for interesting tweets.

Tweetlater is great twitter tool for those looking for something more.

Comment on current tweets and get a feel for how it works and who everyone is following.

The best thing about Twitter is that it works in real time from your PC.

You can ask questions to find out any type of information.

If you are looking for followers (Twitter friends) interested in blogging (if that is what your blog is about), pose the question in a tweet and wait for responses.

You’ll be surprised what you hear back.

Posing questions is one way to find suitable traffic for your blog.

You want more visitors but the kind of visitors who are likely to come back and buy from you if you are selling a product.

It is a research tool that returns immediate results.

More advice…

There are a few things to observe.

In your tweets, use keywords.

It might be hard with so few characters, but you want to include searchable words that anyone will enter into a Twitter search engine to find your tweets.

Don’t be a spammer.

If your tweets always include links to your blog or your work on other sites, people will get the idea that you are not there to connect but just to fill the site with links.

Use the site to find others with similar business interests or to pose interesting views and get feedback.

You can link to your blog when appropriate but don’t overdo it or people will get that fishy feeling about you.

It takes time to build up a following of followers on Twitter just like any other social networking site.

The plus with Twitter is that the results are more immediate that with other social sites.

Find the targeted visitors you are after with a few questions and then join in the twittering to build a rapport that translates into more traffic.

Ten Ways To Publicise Your Blog

EzyBlogger — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:27:38 +0000

Ten Ways To Publicise Your Blog

By Lisa-Anne Sanderson

How do you make a blog stand out?

There are so many blogs and so much competition that it can be difficult to attract readers.

However, there are simple ways to gain publicity for your blog.

Here are ten tips to help you market your blog.

1. Blog Frequently

Readers like to see fresh content.

It is very annoying to click on a favorite blog only to discover that it hasn’t been updated for a long time.

It’s a good idea to tell visitors if you are unable to blog for a while so that they will still come back to check if there are new posts.

2. Relevant Content

Content should be relevant to the topic and helpful, especially if you write a business blog.

Posts shouldn’t be about fairies if the blog concerns gadgets, for example.

Readers may forgive posts that are off-topic occasionally but they are likely to get irritated if these are written too often.

3. Include Photos

Attractive photos that accompany the topic will improve the look of your blog.

Photos that you’ve taken yourself may add a personal touch, although this may not be professional if you write a business blog.

4. Use Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, can provide excellent publicity for your blog.

Some writers create a page on Facebook just for their blog.

These sites also provide ways to form and join web communities, such as groups interested in a particular topic.

5. Use Forums

Many forums, such as the Digital Point Forums, allow users to post signatures.

These are links to your website and blog placed at the end of your post.

Many users of forums like to click on to these and see different websites.

It is also a good idea to write posts to the forums which include links to relevant posts on your blog.

6. Your Website

Karen Bryan, the author of Business Blog Boost, writes that placing the titles, date and the first line of her 3 most recent blog posts on the home page of her travel website is an excellent way to publicise her blog.

She states that: “It means that any visitors to my website notice that the site has a blog and they can click on a post title to read the full post.”

7. A Virtual Tour

Many owners of blogs go on virtual tours to gain extra publicity.

This means contacting writers of blogs who are interested in your subject, scheduling the tour, and publicising it on your website and blog.

This is especially useful for authors who want to attract readers for their books.

It’s a good idea to have the tour so that it ‘ties in with your other marketing efforts, e.g. a multi-city book tour or reviews in print publications’, according to the article, ‘Blog Touring 101: Around the Blogosphere in Eighty Days’, at Future Perfect Publishing.com.

8. Start Or Join A Blog Carnival

Blog carnivals are weekly or monthly lists of blog posts about a particular topic.

This is another useful way to attract readers to your blog and network with other writers.

You can join one or start one yourself.

9. Links and Comments

Provide many links to blogs that you think are useful.

Write to the owners of these blogs to request that they link back to your site.

Also write comments on as many blogs as you can.

These are two easy ways to generate awareness of your blog.

10. Keywords

Don’t forget the importance of keywords, i.e. words that are relevant to your topic and reflect what your post is about.

These make it easier for search engines to find your blog.

These ideas should be enough to start with.

Even if a blog is excellent, it’s unlikely to be an overnight phenomenon.

It takes time to attract readers and comments so remember not to give up.

Writing and marketing a blog is hard work but it is well-worth it, especially if you need more publicity for your business.

Duplicate Content Penalty on Blogs – Some Tips to Fight This

EzyBlogger — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:19:08 +0000

Limited amount of duplicate content may not thwart your search engine rankings.

However, this problem can go out of control and start to affect your rankings even without your knowledge.

This article describes the duplicate content penalty and some precautions you need to take about it.

Recognize Duplicate Content

If you have a blog updated regularly, make sure no two of your posts have the same content. Make sure no two URLs point to the same page.

In self-hosted blogs, features like print preview, monthly/weekly archive URLs, topic (category) pages, etc., will cause duplicate content. When search engines encounter duplicate content, normally one of the pages is ranked lower. But, if you have duplicate content pages with intent to manipulate search engine rankings, these pages will be ranked lower or completely removed from the index.

So, duplicate content penalty can be very serious.

How Duplicate Content Happens

Just as we said early, make sure no two different URLs point to the same content. An example of this is the Recent Comments widget used in Blogger blogs. If you have this widget in the sidebar, the new comments shown will be in a special URL in the form: http://blogname.blogspot.com/2008/07/thepost.html?showComment=5533434#54545456645

The post’s original URL ends at “thepost.html”. The rest is an addendum, which will be seen by Google as a separate URL, though it points to the same page. So, the search engine will see it as a duplicate page on the same site. If you have posts with several comments, the issue will be very serious.

Another example is the monthly archives in Blogger. These pages are not disallowed with a robots.txt directive. So, they can cause duplicate content as these pages contain all the posts published in a particular month.

Fortunately, the categories (label) pages in Blogger are disallowed automatically in Blogger robots.txt file (accessible from: http://blogname.blogspot.com/robots.txt). So, they are not indexed by search engines and do not cause duplicate content issues.

How to Fight Duplicate Content

You can find if search engines have indexed any duplicate URL from your blog with this search directive :-

1. Google this query: site:your URL (no space after the colon).

2. Google will show you the number of search results. This is the number of pages indexed from your site. If this is more than the total number of posts you made in your blog, then there definitely is duplicate content.

3. Now, you have to request removal of all duplicate URLs at the Google Webmaster Tools.

Removal Request at Google Webmaster Tools

You can request at Google Webmaster Tools, removal of all your duplicate URLs. However, before sending a request, make sure that you have removed the duplicate content from your blog. You can do any of these :-

1. Remove the duplicate content entirely from your blog (which means the URL should return a 404 (not found) status).

2. Disallow the duplicate content with a robots.txt disallow directive.

3. Use Robots meta NoIndex tag to stop indexing of the page

After doing one of these, request a removal at Webmaster Tools.

1. Log in to Google Webmaster Tools
2. Go to your site’s profile and choose Tools
3. Under Remove URLs, click New Removal Request, and follow the site directions.

Once the removal request has been submitted, it will be in pending status and will be approved or rejected within a day’s time.

Self-hosted Blogs

In self-hosted blogs, you have control over the robots.txt file. You should disallow all pages that may cause duplicate content. This includes monthly archive pages, categories, and print preview pages.

Though these precautions are taken, you should ensure that nobody links to these pages from their sites. If you find that any other blogger links to your disallowed page, contact him and explain the situation.

Conclusion

As we said at the beginning, duplicate content can be a great problem.

All bloggers, who want to rank their pages high in search results, should be aware of this.

Content duplication not only is bad for search ranking, but also causes bad user experience.

If you scrape content from any popular blog and one of your users finds out, then he will most probably unsubscribe from yours.

Ten Tips to Get High Traffic to Your Blogs

EzyBlogger — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:15:26 +0000

If you look at the professional blogs, you will notice that most of them thrived in their first months merely due to high quality content.

Ordinarily, this high quality content draws high amount of organic traffic to these blogs, and will pave way to several quality backlinks.

The effect of these backlinks is two fold :- organic search engine traffic, and indirect referral traffic.

Most of the traffic building methods used by high traffic blogs are still secretive.

The amount of traffic through normal methods, such as directory submissions, writing quality posts, social media submissions, etc., may not be substantial. And due to high competition in the Web, it may take several years to build a really high traffic blog.

Here, we will see some tricks you can use to get high traffic to your blogs within a few days.

1. Post a Relevant News Story

The effect of news stories on blogs can be very substantial. Particularly on blogs, which have a Google PageRank of 4 or above, any post written gets indexed within a few hours. News stories, getting indexed early on search engines can explode traffic overnight, since several people search for them. By publishing one such news story, you can take your traffic to a few hundred visits up.

You can even include news stories outside of the general topic of your blog. The drawback of these visitors is that they may not be interested in the other posts on the blog. Hence, they may not make revisits.

2. Commenting on Professional Blogs With a Strict Comment Policy

There are several highly popular blogs on the Internet, including TechCrunch, LifeHacker, ReadWriteWeb, etc. These blogs get more than one or two million page views every month. Among these blogs, ReadWriteWeb has a specialty. Its comment policy is stricter and hence, it doesn’t get too many comments to its posts. If you post a highly valuable comment there, it will be very conspicuous. Links placed on conspicuous comments will be clicked many times.

3. High Traffic Forums

High traffic forums like Digital Point Forums have at least a thousand visitors online at any time. If you manage to post any interesting entries on these forums, it will be highly beneficial in terms of organic SEO as well as traffic. Any new thread in Digital Point gets great attention, and several people can visit your blog, if your thread becomes popular.

4. Yahoo! Answers

Yahoo Answers can fetch you a great amount of traffic. The questions and answers posted in the site are indexed by search engines and showed on search result pages. You can include any number of relevant links to your site on your answers. Usually every question and its answers can get several hundreds of organic visits daily through search.

Anyone visiting the Answers page is most likely to click on your link, if your answer clears the problem well and the link is highly relevant. It has also additional perks like RSS subscriptions to your blog, more friends and votes through Yahoo Answers, etc.

5. Facebook Marketplace

Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over 90 million active users.

Have you ever posted a link to the Facebook Marketplace and seen its effect ? For this, you have to find the most appropriate marketplace to list your link.

For instance, imagine your company sells the most affordable health insurance services in say, Florida, but your website is rather new and has less reach than your competitors. If you post a link to the Florida network’s marketplace, several Floridians will see it and visit your site. And it can give you a bunch of new customers.

6. Social Media Submissions

Social media submission is another great way to attract traffic to your blog and get backlinks. If your posts are very useful, they can go up to the front page of social media sites like Digg, and give you loads of traffic. However, the main reason that you submit is natural SEO. The blog should slowly build many incoming backlinks to get organic search traffic.

Submitting all your articles to social media sites will get you a great number of incoming links. Also, these submissions are ranked high in search results. Hence, they can provide some indirect traffic to your blog too.

7. Press Release Submissions

Press releases are also highly useful in building backlinks to the blog, just as social media submissions. Several press release sites out there allow you to submit your press release and have a backlink from it.

The press releases you submit to certain sites like PRLog.org, are ranked very high in organic search results. These submissions, hence, can give great indirect traffic.

8. EntreCard Advertising

These days, EntreCard advertising is very popular among bloggers. However, many bloggers don’t tap its full power. They pile up a few credits and advertise on low traffic blogs. These ads won’t bring any benefit to the blogger.

The way to really manipulate EntreCard to get high traffic to your site is advertising on popular, professional blogs. Usually these blogs take thousands of credits to advertise for a day.

You should build credits by selling ads and dropping EntreCards for a few days, and then with all those credits, advertise on a professional blog that gets tens of thousands of visits daily. This way, you can instantly get hundreds of visits to your blog.

When selecting the blog to advertise on, check out the daily pageviews of the blog, its Alexa traffic rank, number of RSS subscribers, the time for which the site has been active, etc.

9. Craiglist Classifieds

Craiglist is the most visited classifieds advertisement site. Millions of people from around the world visit Craiglist on a daily basis. Placing a classified advertisement here is easy. This ad can give you hundreds of highly targeted audience to your blog. Place images and engaging description on your ads and you can maximize the effect.

10. Mass Emailing

Don’t you frequently receive forwarded emails from your friends, with some cool photographs, videos, text, etc ?

Most of us just forward these mails to our friends thus participating in the thread. Next time, when you get such a forwarded email, without just forwarding it to your friends, add some of your relevant links or photographs to it, and then forward it.

These emails have a viral nature. Several people, on receiving them, forward them to their friends. This way, you can reach many people you don’t really know, and your link will travel with the email.

Conclusion

These tips can build tremendous amount of traffic to your blog within days.

However, only the content and usefulness of the blog will make the visitors come back for more.

So, give importance in building quality content.
