SEO Tips - Make use of the Google Webmaster Tools


Make Googlebot crawling smoother by using Webmaster Tools:

Major search engines, including Google, provide free tools for webmasters. Google's Webmaster Tools help webmasters better control how Google interacts with their websites and get useful information from Google about their site. Using Webmaster Tools won't help your site get preferential treatment; however, it can help you identify issues that, if addressed, can help your site perform better in search results. With the service, webmasters can:


  • See which parts of a site Googlebot had problems crawling
  • Notify us of an XML Sitemap file
  • Analyze and generate robots.txt files
  • Remove URLs already crawled by Googlebot
  • Specify your preferred domain
  • Identify issues with title and description meta tags
  • Understand the top searches used to reach a site
  • Get a glimpse at how Googlebot sees pages
  • Remove unwanted sitelinks that Google may use in results
  • Receive notification of quality guideline violations and request site reconsideration
Yahoo! (Yahoo! Site Explorer) and Microsoft (Bing Webmaster Tools) also offer free tools for webmasters.

High-level analysis is possible via Google Analytics and Website Optimizer:
If you've improved the crawling and indexing of your site using Google Webmasters Tools or other services, you're probably curious about the traffic coming to your site. Web analytics programs like Google Analytic are a valuable source of insight for this. You can use these to:

  • Get insight into how users reach and behave on your site:
  • Discover the most popular content on your site
  • Measure the impact of optimizations you make to your site - e.g. did changing those title and description meta tags improve traffic from search engines?
For advanced users, the information an analytics package provides, combined with data from your server log files, can provide even more comprehensive information about how visitors are interacting with your documents (such as additional keywords that searchers might use to find your site).

Lastly, Google offers another tool called Google Website Optimizer that allows you to run experiments to find what on-page changes will produce the best conversion rates with visitors. This, in combination with Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools (see the video on using the "Google Trifecta"), is a powerful way to begin improving your site.

Search Engine Optimization - Best Practices Part 3

Offering quality and useful content in any blog / site is an important technique to drive traffic. Writing better Anchor Text and Optimizing the use of Images is very important in this manner. This post brings you some regular practices to increase your site's traffic.

Offer quality content and services in your site / blog:
Best Practices:
 Write easy-to-read text:
  • Users enjoy content that is well written and easy to follow.
Try to avoid:
  • Writing sloppy text with many spelling and grammatical mistakes
  • Embedding text in images for textual content - users may want to copy and paste the text and search engines can't read it.
Stay organized around the topic:
  • It's always beneficial to organize your content so that visitors have a good sense of where one content topic begins and another ends. Breaking your content up into logical chunks or divisions helps users find the content they want faster.
Try to avoid:
  • Dumping large amounts of text on varying topics onto a page without paragraph, subheading, or layout separation.
Create fresh, unique content:
  • New content will not only keep your existing visitor base coming back, but also bring in new visitors. Rehashing (or even copying) existing content that will bring little extra value to users having duplicate or near-duplicate versions of your content across your site
Try to avoid:
  • Rehashing (or even copying) existing content that will bring little extra value to users
  • Having duplicate or near-duplicate versions of your content across your site - more on duplicate content.
Create content primarily for your users, not search engines:
  • Designing your site around your visitors' needs while making sure your site is easily accessible to search engines usually produces positive results.
Try to avoid:
  • Inserting numerous unnecessary keywords aimed at search engines but are annoying or nonsensical to users.
  • Having blocks of text like "frequent misspellings used to reach this page" that add little value for users.
  • Deceptively hiding text from users, but displaying it to search engines.

Write better anchor text in your Blog / Website:
Best Practices:

Choose descriptive text:
  • The anchor text you use for a link should provide at least a basic idea of what the page linked to is about.
Try to avoid:
  • Writing generic anchor text like "page", "article", or "click here"
  • Using text that is off-topic or has no relation to the content of the page linked to
  • Using the page's URL as the anchor text in most cases - although there are certainly legitimate uses of this, such as promoting or referencing a new website's address.
Write concise text:
  • Aim for short but descriptive text-usually a few words or a short phrase.
Try to avoid:
  • Writing long anchor text, such as a lengthy sentence or short paragraph of text.
Format links so they're easy to spot:
  • Make it easy for users to distinguish between regular text and the anchor text of your links. Your content becomes less useful if users miss the links or accidentally click them.
Try to avoid:
  • Using CSS or text styling that make links look just like regular text
Think about anchor text for internal links too:
  • You may usually think about linking in terms of pointing to outside websites, but paying more attention to the anchor text used for internal links can help users and Google navigate your site better.
Try to avoid:
  • Using excessively keyword-filled or lengthy anchor text just for search engines
  • Creating unnecessary links that don't help with the user's navigation of the site.

Optimize the use of Images in your site:
Best Practices:

Use brief, but descriptive file names and alt text:
  • Like many of the other parts of the page targeted for optimization, filenames and alt text (for ASCII languages) are best when they're short, but descriptive.
Try to avoid:
  • Using generic file_names like "image1.jpg", "pic.gif", "1.jpg" when possible- some sites with thousands of images might consider automating the naming of images.
  • Writing extremely lengthy file names.
  • Stuffing keywords into alt text or copying and pasting entire sentences.
Supply alt text when using images as links:
  • If you do decide to use an image as a link, filling out its alt text helps Google understand more about the page you're linking to. Imagine that you're writing anchor text for a text link.
Try to avoid:
  • Writing excessively long alt text that would be considered spammy.
  • Using only image links for your site's navigation.
Supply an Image Sitemap file:
  • An Image Sitemap file can provide Googlebot with more information about the images found on your site. Its structure is similar to the XML Sitemap file for your web pages.

Some valuable tips and tricks related to SEO from the famous bloggers around the world, has published in my previous posts, most of those were "Off-Page Search Engine Optimization" related tips and tricks.

But today, this post is only about On-Page SEO and most of the tips here are my own tactics that I am applying currently in all of my blogs. These are not tips actually, I am just telling what I am doing right now with my six different blogs. I have paused all kind of off-page SEO techniques for my blogs such as, back_link (url / blog submission etc), social_site_marketing (facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, linkedin etc) techniques applying in my blogs.

I have started to thinking more about the contents of my blogs, what I ma providing in my blogs such as images, articles, useful-links, references, tips etc. "Quality Content is King", audience are looking on the internet which could help them, so I am focusing on the Content and the Quality of the posts I m providing.

These are not some special On-Page SEO tips but could help you a little:
  • Among those six blogs, four is running on Blogger and the other two is running on Wordpress platform. I have added a gadget in every blog which displays direct link to my other blogs as a list. Viewers can browse my other blogs by clicking on the link on the list at the side bar.
  • The expression of a single image / photo / picture can be larger than an Article of thousands words. I have started using more related images in my blogs. The traffics is increasing.
  • One of my blog is about Beautiful Bangladesh. I am trying to writing lots of review post about the Government Website / History / Organizations / / Landscape and Beauty / Positive and Good NEWS etc about the country.
  • Another blog is about Agriculture and Farming, which is my another place of interest. This is the most recent blog I've started on Wordpress platform. Currently I am writing review posts about various Agricultural related NEWS / Institutes / Organizations in Bangladesh. Than tips related to Agriculture and Farming will be publish.

Secrets of my own Article Writing Tactic


Content is King !
This saying is the universal truth and most common and important method to attract lots of readers to any blog or website. Forget about the Search Engines, if your blog get lots of hits and Page views per day than you don't need to think about Search Engine rankings. If you have lots of loyal readers who are waiting to read your exceptional, unique and better writings than every Search Engines will find your blog from the Host Machine of your blog. This is my personal thinking about content and traffic. Because every Search Engines Algorithms are getting smarter day by day, Programmers are developing Algorithm by following the Human characteristics. They are trying to develop these algorithms closer to human thinking. So, you if you can attract human readers than you don't to worry about Search Engines, they will attract and scroll your website regularly and will provide you a better ranking.
 
But, what type of contents are KING ? How to write some Unique and Quality Content ? Previously I posted two posts related to the topic Quality Content, you can read these clicking on the following links:
Quality Content increase PageRank and Possibility of Getting Indexed
5 Tips could help to write a Quality Content

In this post, I am going to tell you about one of my secret that I apply to write some Unique and Quality Content. This helps me a lot, though its a simple strategy of writing. But it helps me a lot to produce a better and Unique Article.

Choose your Title and Start Writing:
After finalized your Post Title or topic that you are going to write about in your blog, you need to start writing the article. Suppose you want to write a 500+ words article, start your writing with a few sentences or words, like 4, 5, 10 or more sentences 30, 40 or 50 words. If you are unable to wrote the initial sentences than this tactic won't be much helpful for you ! Try to produce these initial sentences or words from inside yourself. Don't copy others, read others and try to understand what are they saying about the topic or subject and write something analyzing those. You will find lots of views and differences when various writer writes about the same Topic. The meaning is same for all of these but the strategies, grammars, words, phrases used in those writings are different. And this helps to build a unique content.

Start reviewing again and again those Sentences and Words:
After writing some initial sentences start reviewing or revising each of the words and sentences you wrote. Apply your own thoughts how you can make those sentences long without changing the basic meaning. Is it seems to be difficult ? Lets take a look the following Example:

Initial 2 sentences (27 words):
I read an article yesterday about Stress and Depression on the internet. The writer told in the article how peoples are getting attack by stress and depression.

After first Review (54 words):
I read an Article yesterday from one of my favorite writers who used to write various article related to our mental health. He writes about Stress and Depression on that article. The writer tried to get attention of the readers about how peoples are getting attacked by these mental disaster like Stress and Depression.

After 2nd Review (122 words):
Today I am going to discuss about one important topic related to our mental and physical health. I used to read lots of articles on the internet related to my field of interests regularly cause I like to learn. Yesterday I read an article of a famous Writer (.....), in his article the Writer gives some important and useful information's about Stress and Depression. I learned some useful things from his writing and I think it is also very important for all of us to know the bad effects of Stress and Depression in our practical life. The writer shows how we are getting attacked by Stress and Depression and other mental disorder in our practical life and getting effected by the these...
Is there any meaning differences in those three writings ? Almost 3 of these above paragraph has the same meaning, Isn't it ? First I wrote only two lines which include 27 words only. Than after the first review / revision I wrote a 54 words paragraph. And after the third review I wrote a paragraph of 122 words! Please don't try to find out any serious mistakes in this example. I gave this example of writing to make you clear about my own tactic of writing. It really helps me a lot.

Dear readers,
Wish this secrets will help you a little to produce a Unique and Quality Content for your blog or website. Do you have any secret writing tactic that could help me and my readers ? Please let me know. You can share your thinking / tactic / secret / tips about writing a Quality and Unique content.

Thanks a lot.

Things to Consider before publish a Blog



Blogging is interesting !
Blogging is so hard !
Blogging is Easy !
Blogging is tough !

..... From the aspects of different bloggers. These are the most common thinking of all bloggers (successful blogger or failed blogger / new blogger / professional blogger / whatever..). Blogs can be easy or hard but all we know that Blogging is very very powerful on the internet. At the starting blogging were treated as Journalism. Anyone can publish a blog from any corner of the world with free of cost. That's why its blogging profession is getting popularity day by day around the world. It does not need any kind of special computer skills to publish a blog.


Full time blogger are making a fine and standard living from their blogs, part time bloggers are also making lots of money from blogs too. Blogging has been so much popular that corporate national and international and all kind of companies publishes their own blog regularly inside their websites. Its the most easiest, cheapest way to express something to the whole world, to make some real money from online, to sell own or others products etc.


As Blogging is going to be more popular day by day, so the competition is getting harder and all the competitors / bloggers are getting smarter too. So if you want to do something better in the blogging industry, prepare yourself before publish your first post. Ask yourself some questions and write down the answers on the paper:

  • Why do you want to start a blog ? What are the main purposes, Business or Personal or others ? It does not matter what you want to do with your blog in the future, it will come later. The important thing is that you have a valid reason that you understand well. There are lots of valid purpose people start blog, like someone publishes business blog, someone blogging about personal interests, fun, education, help blah blah blah . . Take time, do some paper work. Blogging is very easy to publish now, Wordpress, Blogger and lots of other blogging platforms are really cool ! Keep yourself busy, and do some research work, later it will help you a lots.

  • Get ready to take some positive actions, you need to be Pro-Active, be Positive, think positive, keep focus on your attitude. Ignore the negative thoughts. Don't even think that you can't do that or its hard, don't use "may be or could be" type words cause it doesn't mean anything. Your belief must be 100% for all the time (99.9% even not accepted). If you have any doubts about your attitude, about your positivity than I won't recommend you to start blog, blogging is not for you. It will be better to spend your time with your other interested works. 

  • Find your own interests about one or two or more particular topics. Its different for some business or corporate blog, cause they select topic from their businesses. Than discover the niche from your topic and its related keywords. Keyword research is the better way to find out your targeted keywords. Its really important if you want huge traffic for your blog. Find the target audience/readers of your blog, you need some loyal readers. Prepare yourself ready to serve the humanity, try to give some thing unique and special to your readers that will really help them.

Why most Blogger Produce a Failed Blog ?



I was reading an article yesterday about some valuable money making tips on the internet, published by a famous blogger. Its awesome ! The writer tried to keep his main focus to the Personal Development of a blogger or webmaster. In the comments section of the article I found an interesting and very hard true comment.

The commenter must be a famous blogger or an internet geek, its an anonymous reply, its almost same big as the main article. In his comments he tried to highlighted the the main Causees of Failure in Blogging, Why most of new blogger still producing Failed Blog. Later I thought about it and tried to go to the deeper of the problem, and still going. In this post I tried to figure out the main cause of failure. Its only my personal opinion, you can make your opinion in the comment section.

In my high school life I learned an essay about "Science - The blessings for life". One sentence on the essay was like.. "The world is going to be Smaller day by day by some advanced inventions of Science". That time I was a little bit confused ! How it could be ? How the world can be Smaller day by day ?! (stupid thinking ! isn't it ?)

But now a days all we know how the world is really getting smaller day by day. Its happening due to the inventions of some Technologies. From my point of view, among all of these inventions INTERNET is the most powerful technology that helps us getting closer to each other (small world !).

How people used to communicate with each other, their friends and family before 15 + years from one country to another country ? They usually wrote a letter, go to the post office, post it, wait for the reply. . . ! One question from the sender > "How Are You ?" Reply from the other side > "I am Fine !", Sometime it took 10 days, 15 day, 20 day . . and so on !

But now a days, anyone can get connected to anybody around the world through the Internet using Chatt, E-mail, Social sites. . .etc. All of these became possible due to the Internet ans other Telecommunication Technology ! And that's the way that the World has become so small and getting smaller day by day, its almost in our hand now.


Now come to my Post Title: Almost every famous blogger writes the same thing when they talks about something like Money Making, blogging, etc,
"about 99% of bloggers quit blogging within the first 6 months of the starting and 1% become successful" !

100 people started blogging at the same time, at the starting all of them has almost same spirit, same desire, same attitude..... But after a while 99 people quit or produce a fail blog and earns the credit as a failed blogger. Only 1 person keep blogging and success starts to follow him ! Why ?

Whats are the main reasons of failure in blogging, internet marketing, freelancing or other related services ? I figured out these three main cause, Please take a look.
  • We start blogging only to Make Money: We think we can make a lot of money from the Internet. We want to become a millionaire within a short period time (1 month, 2 month or . . . 6months). But we didn't get the Money! so FAIL and QUIT. . . !
  • Leak of Self Confidence: When we plan to do something at the starting our Confidence reaches at the highest level. But after a short while it becomes . . . 0 ! Interests about blogging, money making are gone. so FAIL and QUIT. . . !
  • Technical Disability: People came from other study background came here and start blogging to make money. They starts blogging, make some posts in a typical way, cant apply anything special to their sites or blogs (Design, SEO and other). A single cent did not come. . ! so FAIL and QUIT.

Lots of point can be made regarding the cause of failed blogging. But which one is the main cause ? I am going to write some posts about How to become a failed blogger ? How to produce a fail blog ? !

Dear readers, what do you think ? which one is the main cause of so many people start and quit in a short period of time ?
 
Is it the leakage of Self Confidence ?
Or the leak of Patience ?
Or Technical Disability ?
Or . . . . ?
