05 Feb 09 Yahoo Answers Traffic and Monetizations

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.

Thanks for reading

11 Oct 08 Unique Content vs Search Engines

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

10 Oct 08 Let Others Link, Let’s Link Others

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.
