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.

14 Jun 09 Why you should not blog?

Why you should not blog?

On the contrary, there are also some reasons you should not blog as well. It is pretty bad to jump in the blogging bandwagon without knowing what to do. Of course, if you don’t care about who is reading and write whenever you like, that is not the case. But if you want to make some money online and do not have the determination, passion and time to do, it will be just like many millions of dead end blogs that people will come once and will not pay a visit anytime soon.

First thing to ask whether you should blog or not is very simple, are you a blogger or a bloggie, there are millions of people who love to read but never attempt to write for themselves and sometimes they also felt like, “oh, I can also write this and that”, sadly it doesn’t work that way especially in the long run. Then, they become neither blogger nor bloggie.

I love to read blogs as well as writing my own and I think it is actually critical to read other blogs as well. I actually enjoy reading a lot of great blogs just not for blogging or making money. I would read many sort of blogs for many types of interests. And it’s amazing how many good blogs you can actually find across the internet.

Okay, back to the topic, I have stumbled across this blog about why people should not blog, and it triggers me to write this post. So, without further ado, take a look at this fantastic post from blogussion, “Seven Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Blog”, and credits go to Blogussion.

I actually agree with all the points there because it’s sad but true. What do you think?

11 Jun 09 Why should you blog?

Why should I blog?

There are many blogs coming out nowadays and I see some of the blogs are actually just made for AdSense and it is becoming more and more typical. It is always good to earn money while you blog however; you should prioritize what is actually more appealing to you while you blog. So, following are the reasons in order why I blog.

To share what I experience and know

It’s just simply to share what I know and give you the best options to create wealth online, it is not easy task, but it’s already short cut because I would have tried many other techniques and will not mention if it’s not important.

To learn in areas of what I generally blog.

Everything is about learning since we were born, we all learn to learn. Toddler, kid, adult, we have to learn everyday as a human nature. If I want to be expert in my area, I also have to learn to improve myself too.

To interact with my readers

This is definitely enjoyable experiences of blogging for me. Apart from comment spams and auto commenters that are automatically deleted from the system, I enjoy interacting with my readers who are willing to give honest and truthful comments. Also, I got more solutions to solve on particular issue with commenting and I love it.

To earn money while I blog

This would be my last intention, however, it is always good to earn while I blog which is what I love to do.

So, the bottom line is blog the things you love to write about, enjoy and share your experiences, interact with new friends and also you can basically earn from you blog. Of course, if you want to create great money making site, it is better you should try with some sort of business plan before you start writing any. To be honest, blog can make you pretty good money, at the same time, it can also consume too much of your time. So, you need to know your limits and schedules if you want to start blogging. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome.

20 Dec 08 Content is King, It’s also Cha-Ching!

“Content is King, It’s also Cha-Ching”

Taking into account Technorati’s count on February 11, 2008 of 185,620,000 and adding a calculated 175,000 new blogs everyday – Today, as of December 20th 2008 there are a total of 217, 236, 376 blogs! You can view the running count here. (The flash counter adds 1 new blog every 2 seconds (based on the 175K new blogs daily).

That’s a lot of blogs, and even more content! According to WordPress.com, their stats stand at 5,037,838 blogs and a whopping 43,332,247 words today! The user generated content on the internet is staggering, and you would expect that.

So, in this competitive online world you cannot be soft – go hard out with what you write and write it like you mean it. You have to stand out from the crowd because your website falls into one of the following two categories;

~ Lots of Interested Users, More Competitive

~ Not many Interested Users, Less Competitive

If your blogging for any reason other than personal “writing” you are most likely to fall into the first category.

You might ask yourself, how do I make myself stand out? Well simple, do something out of the ordinary. Everyone can write, but it takes determination, perseverance and dedication to run a website that will have your visitors returning back and back again! Look around you, see what other people are doing and try to do something better, I know this is easier said than done, but nothing’s free in this world and you got to get out there and earn your respect. Don’t worry about money as you start, because with respect the $$ piggy bank is not too far behind.

Just a last pointer, is that write in topics you are personally interested in and not for the money. 95% of new bloggers fail because they try to write for high paying keywords and niches. What good is a high paying keyword if you give up in 2 months? If you don’t see yourself writing content about the topic in one year’s time, don’t even bother starting.

Firstly find out your passion and your interests and then go from there. Good luck to you, in your journeys!
