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.

24 Apr 09 Using Linux

Well, I use Linux for myself and I love using it.. I try to use as much as I could because it is pretty cool to learn other operating sytems as well. Right now, I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition.

I have stumbled across some readings past a couple of days about Linux and Now I would like to say a bit about Linux.

How to get?

Linux is open source operating system and you can actually download hundreds of distributions across the world. The one you can download everything in one place could be DistroWatch. Except for the commercial ones, you can actually get them all FREE.

Why use Linux?

I would say it’s a pretty good question, since many people based around on windows, but it’s always good to debate because normally all Linux software can do what Windows software can do, maybe not very attractive looking, but they get the work done, and yes, It is all FREE. You can see Linux software equivalent to Windows here.

Control my system?

Yes, you can. You have complete control of your system, what you want to bypass or what you want to do. Because functions are built by individuals and whatever you assign, you don’t follow the protocols.

Fantastic Community

I have been a subscriber for Fedora Linux for several years, and I still am. I enjoy the community in Linux, because they are all willing to help you more than troll on boards and forums. Most of the solutions are obtained in a matter of minutes, maybe an hour or two. That’s how fast Linux community is.. Of course, I do not join every single distribution of Linux community, but the ones I joined, I always enjoy to hang around even Google groups.

Free from Virus and Malicious Codes

That’s another big reason I love Linux about. Enough said in the title.

Quick development

I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I consider this as a good thing. Some people think it is very confusing and I don’t disagree. Linux is pretty fast in development. When I do my graduate project in 95, I use Fedora 4.0 with both KDE and Gnome desktop environment. Last time I checked, before end of 2008, Fedora has released version 10.0, that’s how fast Linux developments are. By the way, Ubuntu 9.04 has been released yesterday. Possible the best desktop Linux edition available online, of course, completely FREE and now it does not even need virtual box or vmware to test it, you can install extremely easy.

Thousands of manuals and ebooks available

It is irony that as much as Linux distributions are available FREE as well as manuals and administrations e-books are also free.

64bit Architecture

It is just awesome to use 64bit Architecture on Linux especially when you have massive memory and super fast computing system. Most Linux distributions provide for both 32bit and 64bit versions. How convenient!

In conclusion, if you have never tried Linux, give it a try. You will be amazed to know there are hundreds of millions of people who love using Linux once you get to know it. I know it’s too much technical, but I am neither hardcore programmer nor OS developer. But I think Linux gives you a choice of freedom what you have never had before and It is been 11 years for me that I started using Linux and they have never disappointed me either.

17 Feb 09 Viral Traffic Generation Methods

Previously, I have posted about viral marketing for online advertising. Now, I want to share a little bit further more about viral marketing and why should we use it in order to drive massive traffic to our websites.

So, cut to the chase, WHY do we use viral marketing techniques?

1. quick to drive traffic (once it’s starting to spread, there’s basically no limit, the message will pick up the speed faster and to the bigger audience)
2. cost effective (once again, no limit, easy to start and cheap to expect the traffic, make sure your site has some to offer for your visitors to become regular)
3. niche gathering (you will eventually find where your niche is headed and your target audience in no time as long as you offer unique content that are original, photographer offers photoblog whereas geek-blog offers all technology news)

Bottom Line, traffic means money, relevant niche means more money, cost effective mean more money. So, what else shall I say?

So, this comes the question, WHAT are the techniques?

1. I am going to repeat this again, provide quality content, products or services. (provide something which is unique for your visitors)
2. Give something away (I would recommend gmail service to my friends because they basically gave away free service for e-mail, don’t they? you gotta offer something so that will create buzz).
3. Recommendation or referral on your site. (something like share this post, email to a friend, etc etc, that will create more buzz because I would really recommend to my friend if a particular website offer something nice)
4. Have some video clips, or free e-book to give away or have a personal blog about your interest on the site (that will also give some kind of expose to your visitors and yes it does really attract traffic)
5. Social bookmarking icons and links (They are basically helping you to bookmark or submit to the sites, either way, they are good for traffic, easy for search engine to index, my personal favorites regarding SEO are reddit, technorati and digg)
6. Use RSS feed or any sort of Feed (Some of my audience like RSS feed because they are firefox fans, some of them love email feed as well, so feedburner or similar service sites can offer, I use feedburner of course, you can set up either RSS feed or email subscription)
7. Do what others do not generally offer (It’s very simple but sometimes it is easily overlooked in many cases, for example, I enabled “do-follow” plugin in my wordpress, which default is “no-follow” for commenters, so I would get more visitors who will want to have do-follow link on my site and will write more comments as well.
8. Run on-site competitions (Many internet gurus are still using this method, and that’s how they get massive traffic and regular visitors)
9. Build a community and relationship with your visitors (Communication is the key to success, if you interact with your visitors, you will build the better relationship between you and your visitors that is very good for long term)

Ok, There are main 9 methods I have tested and experimented in the past and they have created impressive traffic for me.

So, start right now because what I have suggested will cost next to nothing. You can basically start with no-investment methods such as adding referal scripts, RSS setup, email subscriptions and some fabulous content first.

Thanks for reading. Now, I will go back to build my viral marketing for another site
