7 On Page SEO Tips for Bloggers

13

When you are thinking of search engine optimization, there are two aspects of search engine optimization techniques: they are on-page and off-page search engine optimization. On-Page is nothing but what you do in your webpage and Off-page is what you do outside of your page.
Here we will discuss on some of the on-page search engine optimization techniques which will help you to rank high in search engines.

on-page-seo-tips for bloggers

1. Use relevant keywords for the Domain Name:

Despite the presence of many websites performing well without keywords in their domain name, having the keywords is better to get noticed by the crawlers and also when you use social media like Facebook and Twitter for promoting your website. However, for SEO, this is a necessary that the domain name should contain the main keyword phrase of your blog which will help you to rank higher. All you need to do is a small SEO keyword research and some time to come up with excellent keyword phrases for your domain name.

2. Great Headline is Great SEO Optimization:

Apart from optimizing headlines, it is necessary to write great headlines that will be incorporated using the headline H1 tag, which could also act as the title for your Webpage. It is also highly advised to add primary keyword in the headline which will boost up the search engine ranking for sure. There should be no compromise on great titles for the cause of incorporating headlines.

3. Use Web analytics Tools:

It is very essential that you use web analytics tool software right from the beginning so that you can keep track of your achievements right from the scratch and the reports and graphs will tell you how and what techniques are working well for you to keep going up in the graph.

4. Permalinks:

This is the most important part of the SEO optimization as the use of keywords in the URL is going to make your article being easily recognized and fetched by web crawlers sent to the search engines and you will be able to thereby build higher ranking WebPages. The URL should contain the primary keywords as a must and also it is advised to have secondary keywords also if possible. Make sure it does not look spammy.

5. Usage of Keywords:

It is very necessary to know the appropriate use of keywords in the appropriate places. In the first instance, it is mandatory that the first and the concluding paragraphs contain the primary keywords, while the secondary keywords and their variations are spread throughout the rest of the article. Keywords used in the article should be natural and should not look like injected for optimization. Also make sure you add keywords only 3% and not more than that as anything more than that will look like keyword stuffing. Google has recently revised the SEO algorithm on this point as they are strictly against content farms now.

6. Make use of the Alt Tag:

When you are using images make use of the Alt tags. Make sure you give your primary keyword as Alt Tag which will help the image rank in the searches. Also make sure you add some relevant keywords in and around the image when you post it inside the post.

7. Commit and Focus only on your optimization Techniques:

Last but not the least, SEO keeps changing with time and you will find that search engine keeps changing their algorithms regularly and so what worked last year will not necessarily help you this season and also the competition out in this market is pretty much higher. To be successful in on-page SEO you need to be committed with a long term outlook of the end results. So do not think of anything just work and wait for your results.

A happy news for people who do find great interest in using phone browser to buy items of their choice at retailers online. Making payments from mobiles is not new and these days, many Mobile payment retail services have sprung up to render their best possible services. Yet, another company by name simply tap has taken initiative to introduce an application and SMS services this summer.

Motive is simple, help consumers to get easily connected to retailers online and make bookings and also make payments through mobiles to concerned retailer outlets. Of course, this is in the experimental stage and more retailers are expected to enrol with simply tap online company, to accomplish the goal set of this money payment online company.

Mobile users are still not clear about the kind of operating system the company is preferring to operate. Even a slightest rumour to a positive edge, will for sure, pull in many phone users to use phones providing this facility and to own those phones, many may decide to sell Mobile phone for cash on exchange with mobile phone recycling.

This application is designed strictly to be adaptable by every phone handset in the UK markets. Smartphones may support this application, but could it be operated even on ordinary phones. Any ways, the company plans to establish its’ reputation by making the application available to all phone users.

This application allows a consumer to buy products on phones via codes seen in-store and in ads. The company received a positive feed back from big players like Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy as they are said to be key shareholders. Carphone Warehouse owns a share of 20 per cent whilst its  American  counterpart, Best buy retailer has a pie of 40 per cent.

How could a customer operate this facility?

Online services for money payments promises to stretch out their services to every handset brand to every mobile network. After completion of initial formalities, phone users are free to make use of the service. Buy products by entering retailers product code. At the registration end, phone user may be asked to enter few details. Detailing name, address, preferred delivery address and debit or credit card details.

Buying process:

In the initial stages, services could be targeted to select retailers. Product quotes ‘must have’ match with retailers existing codes. At a later stage, the services will be extended with QR codes and pictures. As and when a customer sends requesting for a product, simultaneously retailer gets customer request data updated on the website. Retailers are held responsible for the product delivery after bookings. The company’s marketing director Nick White plans to create a digital and social media campaign to raise awareness and advertising partners are most likely to be digital agency ORM London.

5 Simple Tips To Efficiently Manage Time for Blogging

16

One of the common concerns bloggers face in their blogging life is coping with time for blogging. And most of the bloggers fail to manage time between blogging and their job/studies and both are time conscious. Is it real that we don’t have time to Blog or do we waste our time too much? Effective blogging, requires time and It will be really difficult for us to blog consistently in our busy schedule. So, we need to manage tasks with time.

Here are 5 simple tips for bloggers to manage time for blogging, which can help you in better consistent and effective blogging.

 

blogging time management clock

Always wear a wrist watch to track your time:

We might spend more time doing nothing than doing something and all of a sudden we realize, so ,much of time has passed away. One of the first thing you can do is to have a wrist watch wared whenever you can. And hang clock on the walls and put them every where to remind us of this limited resource called “Time” that we have less of it today than we had yesterday.

I hope, most of you already have a wrist watch and If you don’t, then I recommend you get a Timex ironman watch, it just cost you a couple of dollars.

 

Make Time Table:

Get a sticky note for noting down the regular tasks which you do or have to do everyday. Observe your day and note down how many tasks you can manage to do in a day in the available time. Keep other things like job or studies apart from this time table, because they will get mixed up and eventually you get panic.  Daily blogging is not important, but whenever you blog make sure you provide a highly informative or power pack post which can drive attention to your skills.

If your are able to maintain a good time table, then should be able to post at least once in a weak. After posting, make sure to promote it via social media sites. The more you write the more experience you get and eventually you will become a good writer and get confidence to write often. Search engines like Google love freshly updated blogs and they will do in favor your blog and drive lot for visitors.

 

Divide your tasks:

As I said above, making time table should be based on tasks you can handle in the given time. You can divide blogging tasks based on hierarchy.

For example:

Researching for post ideas >> Taking down points >> Write post >> Meta tags keyword research (Google adwords keyword tool) >> Publish and promote it on social media (Ask your friends to share too).  In this way you can divide tasks based on type of the work. once you get used to it, you will get more ideas to manage task on complete them in time. Don’t even postpone anything for tomorrow because TIME is the most precious thing that cannot be rolled back. So use it as with a sense that every minute is unique. Imagine a date like 11-11-11, its so unique and you won’t get that date anymore not even in your entire lifespan.

 

Stop Checking Statistics :

If you have a habit of checking site statics and checking adsense revenue every time you are online. You should only start doing that once you have published an article (if planned any). Rather than spending more time for checking site statistics, you must be spending more time adding more rich content to your blog which could create a very positive impact on your traffic and ranking.  I didn’t mean that one should never check the site statistics, but not check again again in a single day. So focus of things which can bring more impact on your blog. Things like checking fellow bloggers blog and adding some comments to their recent post is a good thing for both building a good relationship with fellow bloggers and getting some backlinks to your blog which can bring up your blog rankings and traffic.

 

Don’t Get Distracted by Social Networks.

If you have a habit of being a social media guy, then you have to cut it short to a manage your blogging and daily tasks. You should however, maintain a good social media profile(s) to be able to promote your blog articles. But too much of time on social media can be harmful to your health and your blogging too. Don’t be addicted to social media because its hard to concentrate on your work when you are addicted to something.  You can always enjoy your weekends on social media if you have no other plans. Remember, the work you do today for your blog can save you a lot of time in the coming days. Maybe sometime later you could start your own office and hire writers for your blog.

 

Blogging is a wonderful job. So relax, Enjoy and make your job even more wonderful. No other job would give you so much of freedom to work. No Boss, No traffic Jam, No business target but surely there. No hurry. Its so cool as sitting in your backyard and writing down what you love. And fill knowledge in the world of internet.

 

enjoy blogging in the backyard

Eventually your blog overtime will become a library of great contents, and will also be one of your greatest source of income without anymore major investment of time spend in recreating it. The time you spend for blogging today will be of great help for others too. So YOU and YOUR TIME are the best Blogging Time Manager.  Because no one can stop you from deciding how you spend your time, maybe not for many others. But It’s really up to YOU. Time is the most precious thing in life and things you do today will be a greatest positive factor for the rest of your life.  And time is also one of the best you can gift some one can ever give to another, so manage it wisely.

New In Facebook: Add Tags in Comments

4

Hope you all know about Facebook’s tagging feature, but so far it was limited to only Facebook posts and status message. Now Facebook has added this feature to comments. You can now tag any fan page, Facebook group or your friends in comments.

facebook tag in comments new feature
Adding tags in Facebook comments

 

Tagging is good to bring your comment into notice of your friends.  You can tag anyone by typing @ and then starting letter, it will show you some suggestions to choose from your interests, and you can select whom you wish to tag. Tagging in comments can greatly reduce link posting via comments as most would prefer to tag fan pages and friends while commenting. So thats something very cool about it. It seems to be a very useful feature added to Facebook in starting of the year, hopefully they will add more of such user friendly features for Facebook users.

 

I personally liked tagging in comments a lot and hope you all like it. Do drop your thoughts about this new feature as comments below 🙂
