08 Oct 08 Adding Manual Sitemap to your WordPress as a Page

Search engines send spiders and crawlers to our blogs/websites to index in their search engines. Everyone knows that, but what everyone doesn’t know is the trick to keep your spiders and crawlers coming back and index your site/blog.

For all my readers, I will publish two methods for sitemap, one is manual sitemap which is actually feeding  the inbound links contents to spiders/crawlers all at once and another one is XML generator google sitemap, which i will publish in the future. 

Please bare in mind that, whatever I install or integrate in my InfoMM.com blog, I actually installed, experienced and compose these articles, so if you have any hurdles or issues with it, please comment here, so that I can learn and help new visitors better.

Ok, in wordpress, you can add several pages as your sub-section, and I use a manual sitemap as my additional page. The general nature of the web spiders and web crawlers will visit the page when you submitted, for example, http://infomm.com/sitemap/, it is my sitemap (actually I just list them alphabetically for visitors to sort under most related categories),

For spiders and crawlers,  they will visit the root (main) page and start gathering information and building the inbound/outbound links and their relevancy to the topic I am discussing about. Your absolutely unrelated links may be discounted whereas your relevant information will be added and ranked possibly higher in search results. 

So, my solution is simple, I just list all my articles under a single page, and I only submit the particular URL once, then, i will always be getting bots and spiders frequently to monitor my web-page activities. All you need is just add “One Article with its respective link”, and you are successfully complete with most of the search engines forever once you submitted one time. Your unnecessary web promotion time will be easily eliminated and you can allocate your valuable time on something else in order to create wealth or pleasure. 

Good? I think it is very effective and great webmasters actually recommend this. So, I shall say the same.

Any comments and suggestions? please feel free to write a comment or two….At least, spiders and web crawlers can also use your comments URL to index inbound links from mine..so, you will probably build your inbound links to your site and you can gain more in PageRank System  

Thanks for reading

22 Sep 08 Adding Akismet plug-in in wordpress

What is Akismet?

It is a plug-in for wordpress for controlling spammers on comments. Without Akismet, you might have problem managing your valuable posts.  Because 87% of wordpress comments are known to be spams and you would not want any of spams on your wordpress blog.

Where I can get it?

It is actually built-in your wordpress 2.0.xx or later. You just login as an admin, go to plugins, activate the Akismet.. As I have stated how to add google analytics in your wordpress post, you should have wordpress account created when you decided to start making money on blogging.

Once you have your account created on www.wordpress.com, you have to activate via email to validate, as soon as you are validated, you will receive an email including the API key that is required for Akismet plug-in. Alternatively, you can login to wordpress.com and go to your profile and view the API key.

Under plug-in configuration of Akismet, all you have to do is enter API key and you are good to go. It is that easy.

What else besides wordpress?

Don’t feel disappointed that I am only talking about wordpress, you may also use Akismet in many other applications. So, if you have any other applications mentioned below, you may also want to integrate and administer Akismet.

 

• Drupal Module
• phpBB Mod
• Blojsom blogging software
• Bloxsom blogging software (code link)
• Geeklog module
