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.

Reference: SEO Book by Aaron Wall 2006, an e-book which I really like. I am not affiliated with the author and you can actually Google to buy his materials if you want.

Lately, I have been using this service, Twitoaster.com, for my tweets. It is really awesome service and I actually enjoy using it. It can actually track your twitter discussion, hence whoever replies to your tweets, will get indexed in Twitoaster.com.

How does it work?

As usual, it is basically an external API, so when you login at twitoaster, simply use your twitter login and password there, and that’s it. It will actually index all your replies, retweets that are in public timeline.

What’s the catch?

Why do we create accounts on facebook, friendster, myspace, twitter, digg, technorati? It is basically understandable that they give you traffic, search ability and special add-on functions that you can actually link back to your blog, profiles, websites, etc. Twitoaster can index your tweets, RTs, therefore, in a marketing point of view, when you post a URL in your tweets and someone replies you, your URL will get indexed which is good for extra traffic when someone search as many of internet marketer uses twitter to gain more traffic. Google index pretty quick with Twitoaster and I sometimes found my tweets while I search some of the keywords I posted in Twitter. That means, you don’t need extra time to input your tweets to be seen, not only in twitter, but also in Google, Yahoo! and MSN Live.

Usability

It is similar to blog commenting and it works with the feed, so, it is extremely easy to use and very user friendly, whatever you post in Twitoaster will be posted in Twitter, but it is not very good to spam because you have limits to use external APIs in Twitter, nevertheless, if you post something really good in 140 characters, it is possible that you will get some replies and that will actually make your tweets easily found and more popular not only in Twitter, but also in the web.

So, give it a try at Twitoaster.com and tell me what you think.

Have a good one.

Want to get Twitter followers efficiently? These are some of the facts you actually do not be able to find. Because I do experience myself in order to share my knowledge to you. Not to take some points from other people’s work. And yes, I do things slowly, but do it right to make the best out of it.

But you will not definitely find my post short cut or gain 20,000 followers within a week, but you will have steady increase number of followers, let’s say 50-100 members of followers a day if you build a good relationship with your followers.

Things you can’t easily find out on Google search about Twitter?

You can see thousands of blog articles written online, but when you hit 2000 following, not followers, you are stuck.. Why? because twitter put limits on following at 2000, unless your followers are properly ratioed. I am shocked to learn that internet gurus hardly talk about twitter limit. It’s probably one of the most important things you need to know about Twitter, read more here about twitter follow limit.

Twitter marketing?

Twitter is probably one of the hottest tool for internet marketing people. I do little bit of marketing for my websites, but never spam on your status. The point is you have 140 characters to do marketing on your status, the more follower, the better chance that they will see your status quite intriguing and click your URL (your URL can be shorten, meaning, no matter how long your blog post or URL is, it will actually be reduced to 18-20 characters). Moreover, you can actually hide if you are posting affiliate links, so that drives you more possible sales conversion as well. So, be wise for your 140 characters and make use of best possible punch line.

Twitter following and followers?

You will probably see have 15,000 followers in 3 weeks or I make 20k followers in 1 month thing around. My suggestion is not to spend a dime and get consistent and real followers for you. Remember, more than 50% of twitter members follow to get followers consequently can broadcast our status to the followers. It is neither geo-targeted nor niche-targeted. But always keep in mind, people want to build up relationships in Twitter, simple build up your relationship with your followers and following members.

My Motto @ Twitter

Follow me, follow you attitude. I always try to follow anyone who followed me. This is the right way to build up relationship with your followers. Of course, some people cannot follow you back right away because they probably reach twitter limits and stuck with following limits. Some people may not actually follow you permanently too. But that’s okay, you win some, you lose some. But once you build a good relationship to anyone, it does not matter, you will slowly build your Twitter network stronger than ever. Take a look at my follower at Twitter, you will see my total followers. If you want effectively gain twitter follower fast, just follow the people who followed me, because they actually followed me right away and they keep their following permanently. Check out my followers.

Here comes the most important thing, you would want to build your list slowly, so that you will not be stuck with twitter limits. So, make sure you follow like 100 members a day. Next day, you keep your following. Even you have 1000 following limits, you can actually get stuck if your following and follower ratio is not propotionate. So, follow properly, but not aggresively. While following maintain good relationship and RT other tweets, so that people will actually get to know you.

I made a lot of friends in Twitter, I barely know, But If someone Tweet such as “Share me some of your SEO tools”, and I just gave back RT (re-tweet) or DM (direct message).. In a couple of hours, i will get “thanks for the tools”, etc etc.

Nevermind about too many interests?

No, people don’t mind, they want what they want to. Sometimes, I tweet about myself. Once I tweet, This is so boring day, I will definitely get back “same here”, “rainy day and sleepy”, in a couple of minutes. Sometimes, direct to my Twitter login. That’s how you create your relationship, Now, I even search blogs on Twitter rather than Google, because you get more filtered as people would share or announce some good articles. When you focus on marketing alone, I don’t think it gives you real joy of using twitter. I gained heaps of friends in Basketball tweets, but never disappointed in my SEO/SEM discussions too.

Requirements for Twitter Members?

No, I am just being cheesy with the subtopics. There’s no requirement needed, but always treat other people with respect and have fun. Don’t just login to share your blog post with alot of URLs. Because many people check out your profile before they add you and when they see very few updates, they know they cannot do any interactive relationship with you and perhaps will not add you in their list. And some people get annoyed by constantly advertising your URL every single update of yours. So, be involved in community while doing your marketing at the same time.

So, Good luck and hope you get good Twitter campaign for your marketing, social networking, jobs, searches or even fun stuff to read.

Well, here it is another technique that I am very happy to share. I am big Yahoo! Answers fan. Before, I didn’t really put my website link in Yahoo! answers, but after a while, I tried to put once or twice in a while. And yes, it gives me good traffic, at least, 10-15 unique hits from one answer.

Of course, your answer should be unique, informative and helpful. That’s the most important thing, once they love your answer, they will definitely try to click your website which should be the source of the answer. When I answered about sports, I never put this website as a reference, it will be spamming to the audience and also to Yahoo! and i saw many people got banned for that.

SEO point of view, you will not gain anything as Yahoo! answers is no-follow link, but you get the traffic and mostly targeted traffic, that means, your true audience will read more about your site.

Nowadays, many people abuse and use yahoo answers as a tool and the bans are more frequent, so make sure you do the reference in proper way and relevant niche. Here is my Yahoo Answers account you can view. Remember, do not put too many of your links in your answers especially it’s not relevant to your website and the particular answer. And make sure you get good percentage of BEST Answer. So that people believe and trust in what you explain more. That will also help your traffic as well.

So, here is a good e-book how to get traffic, affiliate sales, or direct sales that depend on your business on Yahoo! Answers. But I definitely tried and got noticeable amount of traffic.

Search Engines are clever and sophisticated. Let’s say the Big 3, they are pretty smart and powerful. Search engines are written by a bunch of super geeks and they have several techniques to index your site, not only the text based display.

I have recently written an article about Google’s technology. As soon as opportunity arises, I will also discuss about alexa, msn live and yahoo in the future. 

There are millions of web pages that will not show up in the search engines, because they are being discounted from search engines especially Google search. WHY????? Because they are not having unique contents in the web. Some people like to copy and paste the materials around the world and it will finally come to haunt them in the future because search engines determine which websites are displaying duplicate contents, there are no sense of worry about who started it, but definitely if your website is always publishing original contents, that means you will not be in the same category as “duplicate contents/news feeders” list. 

Being using a unique content, your website will be recognized as well. For more information about duplicate contents, please read the article from Bill Slawski’s article from SEO by the SEA, “Duplicate content issues and Search Engines“. 

Conclusion: Make your site/blog to be differentiated from other duplicate content websites, that’s the first step of making you more legitimate in search engines world.

Any comments and suggestions, Please feel free to comment. Thanks for reading

Webmasters use these words very often, search engines and PageRank. They are the sources of income. In fact, because the more links you are exposed and linked to, the bigger chance of getting more traffic, that will eventually bring possible visitors to become your customers. 

Therefore, Link building becomes one of the excessive used terms among webmasters and SEO experts. As I have explained about how Google and its technology regarding page rank system and hypertext analysis, It is important to build links around your blog/site. I  have submitted to several search engines, you can see major search engines and directory list to submit on the above link. So, that kind of link building is easy to implement. Make sure you have done the same for your website too.

It is important to build quality links and how can you decide what are the quality links? It’s the key of the link building, if you submit at low PR ranking sites and not usually updated sites, it is waste of your time to submit your link. Some blogs are dead and you comment on their sites with your URL, that’s another waste of time.

However, I encourage you to comment on quality blogs (you need to make sure they are not copy/paste, scams, pushing you to click their affiliates or ads and etc). I have made some comments on some quality blogs, I have already saw my sites as back-links because great blogs actually update regularly, keep in touch with readers and utilize SEO properly. So, when I check my links associations, I can easily find out whose sites have quality links and regular updates. So, comment on quality blogs in such a great manner and proper way. Commenting others is not to judge for what they have written, but to understand what the message is all about and contribute your suggestions regarding to the original article. 

Don’t just put your URL and write “visit my site” or “nice one”, if you do not mean it read it, I do not think search engines will not value your input on particular page because you do not really mean it too. Remember, search engines use millions of conditions to index a particular web-page, if you don’t mean it, they won’t feel it too.  Most importantly, discuss in the blogs related to your website you are linking. For example, if you have a “fashion online shop” and if you are writing unrelated comments at “online gamers” site, search engines may not index your site as a qualified back-links. 

So, back to my topic, it’s always good to link to others. And let others link back to you, whatever your site and niche may be, it has to be consistent, regularly updated and keeping the communications alive with your readers/visitors/members.

Also I always allow ping service to my wordpress blog. So, if you are using wordpress like me, when you do the link reference, your website link will be already added. This is one of the powerful features that I have enabled in my blog. So, just feel free to link to my site as a reference, your site link will also be published, as I am always improving my site with search engines, your site will also be counted as a back-link. Because I always do the same when I reference someone else links. It is a win-win situation and very ethical way to link up to one another. And that’s the way google, yahoo! and MSN live bots index the links too. My techniques are simple and no tricks required. But it will also prevent you to get banned from major search engines. 

But please bare in mind, when you write something for your readers, Write for readers, don’t write for google, yahoo or msn, but always comply with what search engines want. Word of Mouth is indeed a powerful thing. That includes people volunterily linking your site and you will get more exposure.  Just remember to give something useful and nice to your visitors/readers. There is always reward for your great hard-work.

It is true. Make search engines to fall in love with your site/blog to crawl. Because search engines play important role to give you  a lot of traffic. Yes.. “Massive traffic” are the words I love to use..

So, make search engines and their spiders love your site.. so, basically here are the checklist you should “DO” and “DON’T“. So, I will share you what are the big “DON’Ts”

Simply Don’t Make These, So your website/blog will be attractive to search engines spiders.

1. Inadequate inbound links (if you have 10 web-pages, don’t let the search engine come and index your site, it’s useless, Because you  have very few inbound links and possible none-outbound links and surely no back-links.
2. Splash pages (graphic oriented pages including animations, flash and media files embedded). Search engines love texts, they can’t identify Bart Simpson by photo, but maybe the word “Bart”.. so, if you understand how search engines feel, you get an advantage.
3. Flash everything. (you can actually use two DIV to divide flash and html, but mostly, if you are content oriented or automated solution such as blogs, it won’t work.. besides, adding twice for both flash and html contents are totally waste of time, if you do not really need the flash file in first place. Most importantly, visitors love fast pages to load as they don’t want to spend waiting while browsing the website.
4. Unprofessional design. First impression is always important, when a website visitor/blog reader arrive your website/blog, and after 5 seconds, it’s all Ads and Affiliates but little bit of contents and unprofessional web design or layout. Or 50 total pages, 51 dead-links or file-not-found pages. That’s going to be your last impression. And you will lose that particular visitor forever. YES, EVER.
5. Uselessness of Java script only navigation. Once again, don’t use them, it is not awesome, if you want nice, good looking site, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) can help you make it look better. Use the list-based CSS ones or you need to provide a text equivalent link to your web-pages, so that search engines can read it alternatively. ****Last but not least***
6. Duplicate contents. Don’t plagiarise, don’t copy and paste. Don’t cheat, don’t use duplicate contents, I have said before, for example, google uses over 500 million variables and 2 billion terms to do indexing, so don’t discount what Google, Yahoo or MSN Live can do, they can do many things that we have never dreamed of.

Have a good one.. Any comments and suggestions are welcome, Thanks for reading..

Once you have a blog, it is very important to get known because you would love to have regular readers to your blog. For me, Yes, I do. Very much.

Promoting your contents and building up your audience is one of the most important thing to establish the blog, if you do not have the passion to promote, then, you are 50% failing. Your passion is writing but you also have to take care of the consequences of your passion, of course, you will be awarded for your hard-work and time in the future. “Result” will come pretty in the future. So, this is one of them.

FEEDBURNER

One simple explanation: Promote what you wrote that you spent your valuable time. Write original content and get the audience.

feedburner

So, start burning your RSS feeds. And get more exposure. Now it’s even better google just bought feedburner, so you get fantastic route to readers…

There are many options that you can utilize to optimize, utilize, monetize and publicize. The sky is the limit. You can offer subscriptions and easily make money in the future.  When you offer a subscription services to the members, make sure you display the subscriber total when you have over 100 members. Why? Nobody want so subscribe 5 members subscription.. so, build up your regular readers and then, display when you have over 100 members, that will encourage more members to subscribe your blog.

Any comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for reading
