Just Started Blogging There are a Few Steps You Should Take

February 24th, 2013 2 comments

So I’ll discuss a little about the wordpress platform, themes, recommended plugins and some tips.

If you have just started blogging, there are a few steps you should take.

1. Activate the akismet plugin. This plugin comes preinstalled with wordpress but you have to activate it and get a wordpress key (which takes 2 minutes). Akismet blocks spam comments on your blog, so if you choose to enable comments on your posts (which you should) then this plugin is a must, and best of all it’s a set and forget.
2. Choose a theme. You could use the default theme, but it’s way overused. The ideal is to choose a theme that is very user friendly, with good link visibility, nice color contrast, and a nice and attractive layout. If you know how to design a theme or can change a free theme to your liking, then you should do so, unique content and layout designs are always a better choice than free themes that are probably used by hundreds or more. A good place to get themes is the WordPress Theme Directory. Another one is searching google for “free wordpress themes” 🙂
3. Decide on a permalink structure, permalinks are the actual links to your blog posts, and wordpress gives you a lot of flexibility here. For maximum SEO performance, you should simply choose “yourdomain.com/blog-post-title” but this really comes down to personal preference as I personally don’t think it makes that much of a difference, so you might prefer “yourdomain.com/year/month/blog-post-title” that is also search engine (and user) friendly. Whatever you choose, do activate the permalink feature because otherwise you’ll have those ugly query strings all over your urls.
4. Download and install the Google XML Sitemaps Generator Plugin. This plugin takes care of updating and submitting your sitemap to Google and other search engines. This allows search engine to know more about the structure of your website.
5. Download and install the All In One SEO Pack Plugin. This plugin optimizes your blogs output for search engine optimization. Optimizes keywords, page titles and more.
6. Install the Share This plugin or a similar social bookmarking plugin. This should go right after your posts along with a reminder letting visitors know they can subscribe to your feed. This way visitors have some options when they finish reading your posts. If they like your post, they will be able to quickly submit it to whatever social bookmarking sites they use or e-mail to a friend.
7. Create an About page. You should use this page to introduce yourself to the visitors, your background, your work, what you do and like and what people should expect from your blog. This gives your blog a personal touch that helps visitors to identify you as an actual human behind the blog. Also consider placing one or several pictures of yourself on the about page (or on a photos page if you prefer) as this also greatly increases the human awareness of the visitor.
8. Create a Contact page. You can simply put up a page with e-mail instructions or use a contact me plugin like Secure and Accessible PHP Contact Form. This gives confidence to the visitor that he can reach you if he so chooses and, like the about page, gives the human touch.
9. Create an account on FeedBurner for your blog and give your visitors a visible option to subscribe to your blog by RSS and by e-mail (FeedBurner takes good care of all this). This allows users to use an rss reader or just get your posts by e-mail. Most visitors never return so you should make it easy and worthwhile for them to subscribe to your blog and receive future updates.

Well, those are 9 of the things that I think are most common and needed, but I could go on, you should familiarize yourself as much as possible with wordpress (or your other blogging platform of choice), try out new plugins and optimize your theme. It’s a work in progress, but you shouldn’t let that get in the way of your posting.

You could consider setting up a password protected subdomain and creating a clone blog for testing (or install it on your own computer) because once you start getting traffic you shouldn’t go trying new things on your live site where things could break giving your visitors a bad surfing experience. A clone blog is obviously just a blog installation that matches your actual site with the same theme, same plugins and a few dummy posts so you can do your testing.

Once you get your blog ready to go, all that’s left to do is start posting! You should make a nice first post, introducing yourself briefly and letting the reader know that you have an About page with more details. You should give some idea of what visitors can expect from your blog posts.

Now for some quick blogging tips:

1. Make constant posts. You should try your best to do about 3 posts per week minimum. This all depends on your ability to express yourself with words. If you’re good at it, then post as much as you can, daily or even bidaily. If you’re not, well, then try to make at least 3 posts per week.
2. Use post titles wisely. Your post title is very important as it’s the part that will be most visible to the web. Create informative titles, for more details visit to www.your-own-blog.com the words you choose here will eventually make your site rank on google for some or all of those same keywords.
3. Make medium to long posts. Not saying that you can’t do small blog posts, you can and should, but you should try your best to create full length and keyword rich posts. Write your best and biggest posts as if the were articles with a small intro, content and conclusion.
4. Post about other blogs. Read blogs about the same topic than yours and link to them and do your own spin on the post, agree, for more details visit to www.blog-and-ping.com disagree, whatever. Basically try to engage in friendly debates with other bloggers.
5. Leave them wanting for more. End your posts with a small text about what you’ll be posting about next time. Be creative and suspenseful.
6. Proof read and spell check your post before publishing. Occasional typos are ok, but proof reading and using a spell checker should keep them to a minimum.
7. Have fun! You should be having fun blogging. If you’re just starting you can probably feel a little intimidated or sometimes don’t knowing what to post. But you shouldn’t stress to much about it, just take a break and post some other time. Blogging should be relaxing not stressful. Find inspiration around you.

Well and that’s it, there you have just some blogging tips to get you started. These are of course mostly geared to blogging beginners. You can do much more with blogs and use the blogging platform to create other type of niche sites and adsense sites but that is topic for a whole different article.

Clear Google Search History and Clear Yahoo Search History Tools

May 23rd, 2012 3 comments

The computer is a great means of accessing whatever information needed through the internet. When a person surfs the internet, the URLs of all the visited sites are stored in a cache folder. Though it is possible to clear the history of sites visited by clearing the browser history, it is only with the help of good internet eraser software that it is possible to completely get rid of these files.

This is because all visited sites and personal information you reveal on the internet is stored in a hidden file. Moreover, by clearing the browser history of the computer, it only makes these ‘deleted’ URLs end up in some hidden files of the computer. It is only with the help of an internet eraser software program that it is possible to erase all encrypted information found in the computer.

There is basically not much required or needed for a person to install an internet eraser in the computer. In fact, it is important for the person who has a habit of surfing the internet regularly to have an internet eraser software installed in the computer. There are many sites on the internet that offer internet eraser software programs to be installed in your computer. You just have to visit these sites, download the internet eraser software in the computer and the software gets to work immediately.

The importance of an internet eraser software lies in the fact that when you browse the internet, you may come across unwanted or wrong information. Sometimes, you may also be wrongly accused of something because of the presence of this illicit or illegal information in your computer. This is why it is better to have an internet eraser software installed in the computer as it immediately rids the computer of any unwanted and illegal information.

It is not necessary for you to have all the URLs you visit erased with the internet eraser software. Most internet eraser software come with the provision of deleting each IE address one at a time. There may be some URLs that are used the most and should be left in the computer to save you time of retyping the URL when using them. So with the help of an internet eraser software program, it is possible to erase unwanted and dangerous URLs individually.

One of the main reasons you have to have an internet eraser software installed is so that there is no identity theft. There are many identity thieves on the internet who gain access to your personal information and use it without your information to commit fraud and theft. They can use this personal information to gain access to companies and banks managed by you, and use whatever funds and information found here wrongly.

With an internet eraser software installed the speed of the computer is greatly increased. This is because the internet eraser software program erases unwanted files and folders from the computer with which it is possible to recover lots of valuable hard disk space from the computer to be used in any other applications.

I Can Get you Removed From Search Engines

May 20th, 2012 3 comments

One of my clients was talking to me today. He is using our search engine submission tool and was very confused as why his website was showing some weird string queries.

First background about his site. His site has been online since 2000 and is ranked very well on all search engines. He site is very much devoted to real estate.

Couple of days he discovered that his site shows some weird things. To protect my client website I will use (example.com).

What we have done is google “site:www.example.com”

This will show you how many urls of your website google has. However one search showed example.com/?link1=10

He was puzzled as to what the ?link1=10 actually means. So he called us and ask me about this weir stuff that was happening. I guess sometimes we go the extra mile for our clientsJ

What has happened?

What is this /?link1=10?. Nothing was indicating that he has this page on his website, in fact this exact page does not even exist, but yet google found it.

Page /?link1=10 or anything that has example.com/?something_goes_here are called string queries which are used to identify products or even real estate search for homes if customers can view homes on your website.

With result of google finding this weird page, google automatically lowered my client site to the unknown. Basically my client lost ranking from google and other search engines.

Why this happened?

Using sting queries you can simply remove any website from search results, however it will take time to do that. Your website first must return status code 200-OK. This 200 page is simply a soft lending page for your 404 page.

To give you an example, If you remove a page from your web-site and than you re-visit that page again it will show 404 error. In some cases you may set up a custom 404 page which results in “not found”.

To see what you have just go to your website and type “www.mysite.com/anythinguwant.html”.

This should return 404 page or custom 404 page.

But back to 202 pages. To see if your website returns 202 page, search for a tool online. Use “header checker” as your search term.

When you get result it should be similar to this: “HTTP/1.1 200 OK”. It has to show 200OK.

Here is how it works:

To remove pages from search engines you need to have a lots of duplicate content. When I say a lot, we are talking 100’s of pages of duplicate content. Simply one page has to be same as the other page and 3rd page has to be same as 4th pages…etc. They all have to be on your website.

So how this “hacker”..let’s call him that, did this. He did not have access to my clients server, but still he was able to remove his site.

What he has done is checked if his website returns 202 pages OK. If it did, he than assigned random pages to his domain name.

For example: example.com/index.html?haha=iwillremoveyou or example.com/index.html?link1page=330, or example.com/index.html?haha=link2page

You get the idea. What he has done, he has assigned a string query of “haha”. Than he copied all urls into some free hosting company and just wait and relax until search engine picks it up.

Form search engine point of view these are links that point to his domain. More links you have the quicker search engines return to your website.

Because these links were pointing to some new pages on his domain, search engine though that this was a duplicate page, and now there are two main pages, and suddenly his website dropped on all search engines.

See how easy that was? Guess what, MSN is very vulnerable to this! I am not sure if they fixed it yet. If you do this on MSN, it is almost guaranteed someone site will just disappear.

Rest of the search engines, google, msn, yahoo will just lower your ranking, but will not remove you. Not matter what , it is pain to get back to top search results.

How to fix it

You will need to do mod rewrite or 301 redirect .

Information Regarding Website Search Tools

November 18th, 2011 No comments

Many companies after spending a substantial amount of money on the
development of their websites assume that once the website is
published on the Internet, people will flock onto it and, therefore,
do not take website promotion as seriously as the development part
of it. Today, with millions of websites around, no matter how great
your website is, if you don’t promote it effectively, you will not
get the visibility that your site deserves.

Effective promotion of a website starts with submission of the site
to various search tools available on the Internet. There are two
different types of search tools: search engines and directories.
Search engines index their listings based on the information
retrieved by their spiders that crawl through the Internet following
links constantly looking for new websites. The directory listings
are compiled by human editors from the URLs submitted to the
directory. If your website is listed in the directories you can be
sure that the spiders of different search engines sooner or later
will index your site. That’s why you should start submitting your
website first from search directories.

I typed search engine rank checker into Google and the following web pages had been listed. For every single 1 which was zero cost, I made use of the url of a properly identified keyword investigation tool and the keyword keyword investigation computer software. This is what I located:

Quantity 1 listing was sitereportcard.com. Here you can insert 4 urls and 1 or way more key phrases to acquire the ranking. The notion is that you insert your own page address and 3 other web pages with which to compare it. Rankings are returned for Google, Yahoo and MSN (now Bing). It returned my url as not in the best 100 for Google and Bing but quantity 19 in Yahoo.

Quantity two listing was SEOcentro.com. You put in 1 domain and a competitor if you wish plus your keyword. This returned my url as quantity 1 in Google, quantity 24 in Yahoo and not ranked in Bing.

Googlerankings.com was the third of my search final results. The situation with this is that unless you already have a Google SOAP API crucial, you cannot use the tool. No, they will not concern any way more APIs and no, they will not support you if you have lost the 1 you already had.

Fourth was iwebtool.com. Once again, you insert the url and keyword. There are drop down menus for Search on (search engine) and Limit search to (a quantity of final results) but every single menu only supplied 1 selection – Google and 100 final results. This too listed my url as quantity 1 on Google.

Fifth was marketleap.com. A situation was returned for this 1.

Subsequent at six was net-inspect.com. This 1 couldnt acquire my selected url at all in Google, Yahoo, MSN, Hot Bot or Teoma.

Seventh was ineedhits.com. To use this tool I necessary to build an account and getting performed so, I was asked to put a button on my webpage. Final results had been: Google – greater than 100, Yahoo – quantity 25 and Bing – quantity 50.
