On-Page SEO Tips For Wordpress Blogs


Written on May 14, 2008 – 8:50 pm | by SEO Guy

SEO (search engine optimization) & blogs (especially wordpress) go very well together. Because the link structure of wordpress is optimum for search engine spiders to crawl & regularly updating nature of blogs is what search engines love.

On-page SEO means the way the site or blog is being built, such as the layout, the linking structure, the title text, meta description. This may sound like basic information but without it, it’s like a building with a weak foundation - which won’t last long.

Using SEO title plugin, you can put the title of your blog in your title text automatically, right in front of the name of your blog. This is important as the search engines read from left to right, just like humans.

Putting the name of your blog post in title text makes it easier for them to crawl & know exactly what your site is about.

So when you post on your blog, remember to put the keyword in the name of your post & it would automatically appear in your title text.

Link structure is another thing that search engine spiders & even human visitors would use to determine what your blog post is about.

A neat link structure would tell the search engines clearly what the post is about & for humans, it would be easier to remember a neat link structure.

blog.com/p?2395 vs blog.com/name-of-post Just look at these 2 links & determine which you’ll remember easier. Obviously the second link, right?

So just put yourself in your visitors’ shoes, when a visitor remembers a link, even if he forgot to bookmark it, he can still come back to it. Repeat visitors will eventually build you a more loyal reader base.

After you build a really strong following of reader, advertisers & merchants will chase after you to pay you for advertising. There’ll also be more ways you can monetize your blogs as you build more readers.

“Build it & they’ll come!” - that’s a half truth! The reality is “build it well & the targeted visitors will come.”

How Do I Increase My Google Page Rank?


Written on April 30, 2008 – 8:46 pm | by SEO Guy

Google has become the gold standard by which an Internet surfer searches for something on the world wide web. By entering in a few words into their search box, you instantaneously are shown thousands if not hundred of thousands of results for the words entered.

If you have ever wondered how they can return those results so quickly, the answer is very simply the Google algorithm. It is this algorithm in which Google uses to index every webpage on the Internet. This indexing then ranks the pages based on importance on a scale of 0 to 10, with one being the lowest and ten of course being the highest.

This importance is tracked by the number of of other web pages that link back to it. The algorithm goes into more depth than that, but basically that is how it works. Your goal to build up your website or blog should be to increase its rank. Increasing its rank will invariably display your information higher on the list during a Google search for keywords that your site includes.

Below are a few ways to assist in achieving that higher rank.

Exchange Links. You want to exchange links with other websites or blogs that have similar content as yours. You contact a site and ask if they would like to display your link information, and in exchange you will display theirs. We have done this on our site with over 3,500 different sites and it was worked wonderfully for us. We basically exchange with everybody, but that is because our site handles a variety of topics. Find sites to exchange links with and contact them. The more links you have, the better off you will.

One Way Links. Unlike a link exchange where two sites link to each other, a one way link is just what it sounds like. It is a link from a web site or blog that only links to you, however you are not required to link back to them. A good way to achieve this is to create them. There are a number of advertising websites out there that allow you to post an ad for free. Craigslist, AdPost and Indocquent are just a few Post your link information to them all. These are your one way links. One way links carry more weight in the Google algorithm them swapped links. However, combining the two will increase it that much more.

More One Way Links. Another great way to get one way links is to partake in online discussions. For instance we publish all kinds of articles related to a variety of topics on our website. A feature that we recently implemented was allowing readers to comment on the article. This is a great area to comment on the article and leave a link to your website or blog. The comment never expires and if what you write is well thought out and helpful to other readers, they may just click on it to visit what you are promoting.

Father Time. Time is your best friend and your enemy here. Although it has never been confirmed, rumor has it that the Google algorithm includes a system check in there for the length of time your web site or blog has been around. With good reason if you think about it. Thousands of website are created daily, many disappear after a month. It would be a strain on Google`s indexing system to constantly weed out these sites that never make it. Therefore, the longer a site has been around the favorably it is looked upon. So as you can see time is your friend if your site has been around awhile, and your enemy if it is fairly new.

So there you have it four different ways you can help increase the Google page rank for your site or blog.

Popular SEO tricks!


Written on April 23, 2008 – 4:52 am | by SEO Guy

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is really a vital way to direct traffic to your site, so it is critically important that you understand the tricks involved in getting higher search results.

Some of the most famous and ethical SEO tricks are listed below:

• The title tag is the most powerful SEO trick, but it must be used creatively. You should only place one thing in the title tag and that is the exact keyword you used for the web page that you are trying to optimize.

• One of the most famous SEO trick is link popularity. It is because of the fact that most search engines don’t consider web sites that do not have links pointing to the web site. So, it is really important to link to other resources that are related to your website’s niche. This will increase traffic, provide good ranking and add value to your website.

• It is very important to use a different title on each web page with its own primary keywords at the beginning of the page title.

• Always remember, keyword density is very important in SEO and should be properly researched. The keywords should be used once in the title tag, heading tag, and in the body text while keeping the keyword density between 5% to 20%

• Another important SEO trick is to get your keywords in much of the anchor text in both internal and external links.

• It is wise to build a website that is rich in theme because search engines are now more interested in the themes.

• You should build content related to your niche with around 250 words per page because the speed of your web page is very important to your visitors and the search engines.

• Always remember to add fresh and unique content on regular basis which attracts the visitor to come back to your website.

• Don’t forget to add a site map. It will help structure your site for spiders.

• Submitting articles with links to your web site to directories is yet another famous SEO trick that can really boost the amount of traffic you generate while also giving click through traffic, too.

• Also, don’t forget to submit articles with your web site link to the publishers. Do not hope that they will pick your article up from a directory. It is better to submit directly to the publishers themselves.

• Another SEO trick is to seek forums related to your niche, join them and advertise your web site there.

• And, last but not the least. Another famous SEO trick is to submit your web site to the directories “including” the PR0 directories.

Okay, so it was some of the most famous SEO tricks that can really help you to optimize your search engine results and put you on the path toward higher search engine rankings. But for that, it is really IMPORTANT that you follow them correctly.

Can You Really Get Guaranteed Targeted Traffic?

Just give this a thought for a moment. I’m talking about real quality guaranteed targeted traffic made up of real visitors who will actually look at your site.

Its not that hard but most people just treat this thought like a pie in the sky. You have to understand that you can get targeted traffic, its just not the way it used to be 5 years ago.

  • The Days Of Easy Peasy Is Over. I will not dampen your spirits but the fact is that years ago people could just purchase some unqualified traffic and they would still make money. Today, online comers are more savvy and they are expected to be more ‘picky’ than visitors of 5 years ago.
  • 2 Ways That People Are Using. Initially, you might think about paid or free traffic. For me, there are offline and online methods of driving guaranteed targeted traffic. Trust me, these are the true 2 real methods that is available to you.
  • Great Myth About Free Traffic. You can drive traffic by using zero cost methods such as SEO, web 2.0, article and press releases and much more. However, these methods still cost you time so its not really free at all.
  • Have Your Own Website. Please do not get weak here. Creating a website is not as daunting as it seems. People online make it ‘appear’ to be harder than it really is. It just takes a few basic web editors that you can edit like copy and paste style.As you can see, guaranteed targeted traffic can be obtained by simply putting first a few simple things in place. When you are ready to release your traffic decide on either online or offline methods. After that just continue tweaking your website to be optimized to the search engines.
