05 Feb 10 Auto tag plug-in and duplicate materials

I have been testing auto tags plug-ins and duplicate materials a couple of days ago and they are really bad for your website. It is definitely confirmed. I have two similar blogs but different niches and tested auto tags plugin and duplicate materials for a couple of months.

Google discount the fact the entries that are similar to one another even though it is actually not a content but a reminder and disclaimer sort. But still Google has been no longer indexing pages with no unique content in it. This is not a read and write experience. I have been testing all the SEO techniques mostly all on my own and this is really an important factors for all newbies, SEO and SEM analysts..

so, hope this helps.

14 Jul 09 Choices of Keywords

Choices of keywords

There are many techniques to plan for keywords in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) world. It is critical to use all the techniques so that search engines can index your site better than others. It is actually called on-page optimization which is important part of SEO.

Typically, the choices of keywords are to target traffic to your site relevant to keywords that internet users will search. However, each page can be optimized for different keywords, but the most important thing is not to focus on search engines, but to focus on the content of your materials. So, here are details keywords that you can actually optimized on page and they should be done on each and every single page of your site. Especially when you have a blog, it is very effective to optimize as blogs are content based and pretty easy to implement your SEO.

Keywords density

Let’s say, if you are writing about SEO, you will probably write more than once on the word, SEO. But too much is never good and always follow your heart to write rather than worrying too much about search engines and how they will index. Sometimes, when you try so hard, it makes visitors not only to feel confused but also not to come back for next time.

Long tailed keywords

Long tailed keywords are usually very long keywords and sometimes it is good to implement on possible long tailed keywords on your site. For example, “how to make a good plan on summer holidays” are long tailed keywords and you can actually optimize for headers, titles and rhetorical questions. It is important to know that generally, search engines will omit more of the conjunction words, but if you include them, they can be searched and match up according to the relevancy of search as well.

Overlapping keywords

This is basically associated with long tailed keywords search, the best way to highlight your keywords are H1, H2, paragraph html, bold, underlined, and italics, but not overkill it, of course. For example, the keywords that can search well on “make money online” could also be searched well in “make money online information”.

Misspelled keywords

They are to avoid at all costs for me, I have some contradictions with some of the SEO masters that you can actually intend to use misspelling, however, I do not follow their suggestions because most of the search engines no longer use meta tags because of keywords spamming and 90% of top search engines have already filtered with spelling checker for search results especially in English language search.

Plural keywords

Some people actually use plural keywords to search. So, it’s sometimes good to construct your site with both singular and plural number for commonly used words. Therefore, you can actually cover both when search is sought.

Localizations of your targeted audience and keywords

If you actually install Google analytics, you can actually geo-target or alternatively know who are your frequent visitors. The selection of words can actually give them easier to understand meaning and more feel like to read it more. For example, use toilet, loo, bathroom, lavatory or restroom according to your visitors to get acquaintance with your site. If you are promoting for products or services focused on particular country, it is vital to use these localizations for your potential buyers/visitors.

Caps and Hyphens

Usually, capital and hyphenated keywords are not mentioned much in on page SEO. But they are actually practical to use. Many people overlook SEO but build millions of web pages and they do not know what they are missing. In addition, capital keywords are not treated for special but it actually looks very professional, however, with good spelling checker website such as Yahoo! and Google actually make use of the importance of capital, because in some cases, capital plays a role, for example, internet and Internet. For hyphens, most search engines consider as a space, however, indexing with or without hyphens are different, so the best thing is to use both intentionally, so that you can cover both. Or you can do some research on what type of usage and search is used on particular keywords and examine whether e-mail or email is used more if there’s a case.

So, there you go, these are fantastic methods for on page optimizations and I am sure you do not miss these, so that you can generate more visitors than your competition. Because once you have started a website, you have millions of competition and the most important thing is to offer uniqueness and attractiveness to your potential visitors. Good Luck.

05 Jul 09 The Attraction of Blogs

The attraction of blog

Lately, I have seen thousands of blogs and they are basically writing pretty much all the same. I love to read blogs as much as I like to write about it, but I cannot produce like 1 entry a day because it is simply that I cannot write 1 entry a day. Why some blogs are pretty famous and some blogs are not is basically straightforward. If we all take the ideas of others, it will never stand out among the crowd.

For me, the attraction of blog is to write what you experienced, rather than writing out all the techniques and terms most of the time. Of course, it is not so bad to write techniques and ways but the ones that are attracted to audience will be new ideas and personal experiences. It depends on the niche what types of person experiences are ideal as well. For example, if you are writing a blog about sportswear, it is very critical that you voice the particular sport product in your own way; especially it is useful with reviews. Rather than saying what others have said in the past, though it is a good idea to reference it.

Well, hope you can attract more visitors than ever to your blogs after reading this entry. Good Luck.

01 Jul 09 All About Domains

About Domain names

The importance of domain name is critically important. Most of the great domain names are taken and I still see them doing little use at all. Some people just bought them for ages and finally they gave up using it because they did not really have a business plan or model to implement it. On the other hand, I saw some people bought unimaginable domain names and also failed with terrible domain names. So, I will discuss a little bit about domain names that comes to my mind.

As long as it takes domain names

Try to avoid it. Some people thought it is extremely important to have keywords in the domain names. It is true in branding, for example, Zytech or Microsoft, they are not really meaningful as a matter of words, but they are meaningful to the brand name. If you are building your brand, it is good to use long domain names, but of course, up to the limit where people can accept, not like cheap-best-reasonable-online-shopping-place.com is too much to remember. The ideal selection is to have not more than 12 letters without the TLD domain names (.com, .net, .tv, .org, .us).

Shorter domains

It is actually good to have shorter domain names, because when you use email promotion or even someone has to email you, you would want comfortable and easy to remember email address. Another tip is to use short form like infomm.com which could actually mean a long meaning, but also fairly easy to remember.

Dashed domains

I do not like dashed domains, be realistic, why do you use dash? The odds are, someone has already registered the name already without dashed, therefore, you need to have to dashed, consequently, that means you will possibly lose your visitors to that domain without dash as well. For example, onebest.com versus one-best.com, the name is fantastic, easy to remember, fits most of the businesses with quality and quantity, unfortunately,  people may not type – (dashed) all the time and it might lead your potential visitors to another website.

Multiple domains

One domain costs basically less than $10, if you are going to do a reputable and good business, why not spend a little bit more for your domain related and use additional parked domain which is now very easy to do so. For example, if you have bestchef.com and someone can actually buy bestchefs.com for your possible traffic and potential income. So, never feel that is not required to spend, perhaps it will be your best $10 spent in the future. Also, if you have several domains that are not used, just parked to the domain that is in full functions, or, you can actually park and display ads with Google AdSense as well. The bottom line is, do not let your domain unused at all.

So, good luck with your domain names, I will write more about domain name and its related topics soon to give you more depth. It is best when you click and read my particular topic rather than just reading through because at the end of the each post, you may find related posts that are very useful and relevant to my main post. Thanks for reading.
