Whenever we pitch about BlogSpot Vs. WordPress, we always give WordPress an edge in the terms of SEO. By adding new SEO features in BlogSpot, Google have fixed the SEO difference by a great extent. Though, this is not going to be “The changes”, which will make me suggest you to stick to BlogSpot for Professional Blogging. But, all the new changes are undoubtedly deserve an applause as after years, BlogSpot bloggers got much-needed SEO love.</div>

You have to enable all the settings one by one, and my suggestion is to read this guide seriously else a wrong settings (BlogSpot Robots.txt), may lead to complete de-indexing of your blog.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We already had enough conversation about BlogSpot or WordPress and for one reason I don’t like BlogSpot much is because the limitation of optimizing it for the search engine. There are many BlogSpot SEO guides that you will find on The Internet, and many of them are related to template editing and all, but in WordPress, plugins make it easier to optimize your blog.
Anyhow, I’m not here to disappoint my BlogSpot friends. Instead, I will be sharing some cool BlogSpot SEO tips which will help you to get better ranking. Blog-Spot being a free Blogging platform, it’s always a preferred platform to start Blogging and learn the basics.
If you or a friend need step by step guide to creating a Blog, You can refer below link to him/her: How to create a Free blog on BlogSpot.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google Blogger is free and easy to use web publishing tool. Many bloggers initially use Blogger and then Migrate to WordPress complaining about the lack of official templates, post SEO friendliness, plugins, etc., We have already discussed this in our previous post with the little effort we can make Blogger posts SEO friendly and an effective free medium for online business. So here I have collected some search engine optimization (SEO) tips for Blogspot blogs arranged in no order.
BlogSpot SEO: Useful Tips and Tricks
When we talk about SEO, very first thing which you need to keep in mind is: We can control on site and off site SEO. On Page SEO is covered by you which includes article quality, how well it’s optimized for Keyword and meta value for that article. No need, to feel furious or lost with above SEO terminology, as below mentioned guide will help you to learn every basic and make your Blogger blog more search engine friendly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Format Blogger post URL link
Permalink plays a great role in search engine ranking of your post. There are few rules which everyone should follow for Blogspot permalinks:
Keep the number of characters in post title to 50
Remove Stop Words from permalink (Ex: A, An, The)
While writing a blog post, you have the option to edit the permalink. Simply use it to edit your permalink and remove the stop words. A good idea is just to use Keywords in your permalink. (Don’t make it look spammy). While writing the blog post, you get the option in your right panel to keep it automatic permalink or manual permalink. Simply select manual permalink and edit it according to your wish. Check this screenshot for example:
Maintain the keyword density
Keyword density is an important aspect for better ranking. Too less will lead to less ranking and stuffing your Keyword will lead to over optimization. I usually maintain a ratio of 2%/post. Though, you can pick keyword density for your Blogpost SEO, account to one which works for you. Publish articles in relevance to post title and include necessary keywords in the post. Never stuff keywords to manipulate search engines. But after finish writing, you can analyze the whole post to find out suitable locations where the keywords can be safely inserted without distracting readers.
Blogspot proper labels and related posts
Label adds to the keyword density of the post. Labels should be widened rather than putting them into the single narrow category.I will explain this point by an example. Consider a situation when you are posting about Google Chrome and putting them into label Windows software’s or browser. Here you will miss keywords like Chrome browser, Google chrome, etc. which would otherwise add to the keyword density of the whole post. Labels also affect related posts widgets in Blogger.And if there are so many posts tagged with similar labels, it would affect the arrangement of articles in related posts.
Format Blogger post title
When we talk about BlogSpot SEO, post title plays a major role. Blogger post title is usually followed by home page title. Have a look at the image shown below.
Here the post title should be “city of (long-distance ) Love! “. But the title is included in the home page title ” Still in Berlin “, and this would harm the SEO friendliness of the article title. Here is how to fix this. Go to Blogger edit HTML > find out code section

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we wrote about <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2013/05/google-authorship-and-the-possibility-of-author-rank-how-important-are-they/" target="_blank">Google Authorship and the Possibility of an Author Rank</a>, little
did we know that Google authorship would be doomed so soon. Panda,
Penguin and Pigeon updates aside, this is one update that has come as a
shock to the SEO and blogging world. That’s right, Google authorship is
over. It has been discontinued for many reasons; reasons we are going to
discuss today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But first let’s take a tour of Google Authorship’s ambitious three
years of existence. This was one project that gave authors high
expectations about getting well-deserved recognition on Google search
and earning a reputation to influence the ranking of their content on
search (a.k.a. author rank).</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333;">A Quick Look </span>At Google Authorship’s Short Life Story</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in 2011, <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.in/2011/06/authorship-markup-and-web-search.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google made an annoucement</a>
about Google authorship and encouraged authors and publishers to
connect their Google+ account to the site where their content resides.
The owners of those Google+ profiles were then acknowledged in search
results as authors of that content. It was a part of the structured data
markup that was used to produce <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2012/12/rich-snippets-what-why-and-how-to-implement/" target="_blank">rich snippets</a><a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.in/2011/06/authorship-markup-and-web-search.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> in search.</a>
As a result, Google search results started looking colorful, with
photographs of authors in some search snippets, as shown below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Author Photographs Shown In Google Search Results" class="aligncenter wp-image-6511 size-full" height="441" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Author-Photographs-Shown-In-Google-Search-Results2.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="359" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Author Photographs Shown In Google Search Results</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Google’s point of view, there were bugs to fix and spam to fight
on the Google authorship road. Google’s Senior Webmaster Trends Analyst
from Google Switzerland, John Mueller, subtly <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnMueller/posts/HZf3KDP1Dm8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">announced the demise of Google authorship</a> toward the end of August 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
John Mueller’s primary role is to connect webmasters with engineers
at Google, which means he manages to effectively communicate feedback
from webmasters to Google engineers. Apart from Google authorship he was
closely associated with the Google Webmaster Tools and Sitemap teams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the users’ point of view, Google authorship made some blunders, most notably where a <a href="http://searchengineland.com/googles-authorship-fail-how-truman-capote-was-credited-as-a-nyt-writer-28-years-after-his-death-142165" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">man was attributed as the author of an article 28 years after his death</a>.
Flaws aside, Google authorship did give a certain authority to content
with a recognizable human author. It encouraged authors and publishers
of online content to carve their niche with quality content because they
got credit for it. It was also considered a way to improve
clickthroughs in search results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In June 2014, however, Google discontinued displaying author photos.
This was mainly because they occupied precious real estate on Google’s
mobile SERPs. Instead, they limited the display of author information
to names and the number of Google plus circles they were in for blog
posts and article snippets. By the end of August 2014, they completely
removed Google authorship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Justifications For Taking Down Google Authorship</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are more than a couple of reasons for taking down Google
Authorship. The first two listed below are directly given by Google, the
third is deduced by renowned SEO experts and the fourth one is our own.
Let’s take a look at each of them in detail.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Not Useful?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google is all about user-experience and they introduce many products
and technologies to enrich that on a regular basis. Google
Authorship was primarily released to attribute content to human authors
and put a futuristic <a href="http://searchengineland.com/googles-agent-rank-patent-application-10487" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">agent rank or author rank into practical use</a>.
But it also made sense to consider the fact that search engine users
would trust content that is attributed to a human author and prefer them
over syndicated, automated, machine generated or thin content with no
name on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/eye-tracking-study-importance-using-google-authorship-search-results/71207/" target="_blank">eye tracking study conducted with LookTracker</a>
on fifteen test subjects, proved that among a list of search snippets,
the ones with an authorship caught the most attention than paid ads or
the first organic search result. Three types of study was carried out
and the conclusion was that even though the few search snippets without
authorship on the top garnered user attention because of their position,
towards the lower end the snippets with authorship captured the user’s
eye. The ones without an authorship placed towards the end were not
viewed much, as compared to the ones with authorship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A screenshot of one such heatmap result is shown below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Heatmap Study On Influence Of Authorship Search Snippets Among Non-Authorship Ones" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6598" height="450" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Heatmap-Study-On-Influence-Of-Authorship-Search-Snippets-Among-Non-Authorship-Ones.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="465" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Heatmap Study On Influence Of Authorship Search Snippets Among Non-Authorship Ones</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://plus.google.com/+JohnMueller/posts/PDkPdPtjL6j" target="_blank">According to John Mueller</a>,
however, the main reason to take down Google authorship is because
there is no notable difference seen in the search behavior of an average
person, with or without authorship in the snippets. In their tests, the
absence of authorship did not cause a reduction in traffic. They say
that not only does it seem to be less useful to the average searcher but
it may also be a distraction to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mueller was probably talking about mobile users here, as an author
photo, name and number of circles takes up a lot of screen space and may
distract the mobile user from his/her primary search task. As for
desktop users, we don’t think it was a distraction. It certainly was
useful in filtering manned content from unmanned. Anyway, as the drift
of search traffic is increasing rapidly on mobile, this is probably a
wise decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Improve Mobile Performance</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost two months ago, when search results were sans author photo,
John Mueller explained that the reason for this was to improve the
mobile experience. And like we mentioned above, authorship information
on search results probably did distract mobile users of Google search.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Little Or Incorrect Implementation Of Authorship</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to other search experts, such as Eric Enge and Mark Traphagen of SearchEngineLand.com, <a href="http://searchengineland.com/goodbye-google-authorship-201975" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the authorship markup was not implemented by the majority of authors</a>
around the globe. Even if they did implement it there were
often mistakes in adding the rel=”author” tag on their sites or adding
their site URL to the ‘contributor to’ section on Google+.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is probably because Google+ was fairly new and people without
a digital marketing background wouldn’t know how important it was to
have a profile on Google+ to link authorship to their content. Google
has been spotted automatically attributing content to authors in some
cases where authorship was not implemented but there were errors in that
too.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird and Pigeon</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taking into consideration all the reasons for shutting down Google
authorship as stated by Google staff and SEO experts, we also have a
deduction of our own. One of the reasons for this unforeseen step taken
by Google would be its algorithmic updates. Search results have become
so clean after introducing the Google updates at regular intervals, that
content probably doesn’t need to be tagged to a human author as a mark
of quality. So, with or without the author information, Google seems to
be serving quality content to users and thus authorship does not matter
anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are the four major reasons for the shocking yet understandable
death of Google authorship. As for authors who think that Google may use
the authorship information for their own reference, we can tell you
that John Mueller confirmed in the comments section of his Google+ post
that they would not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="John Mueller Confirming Google Authorship Not To Be Used Anywhere" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6389" height="241" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/John-Mueller-Confirming-Google-Authorship-Not-To-Be-Used-Anywhere.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="496" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">John Mueller Confirming Google Authorship Will Not Be Used Anywhere</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NOTE: We’d like to clarify two things that remain unaffected by the removal of Google authorship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/06/how-to-implement-rel-publisher-tag/" target="_blank">publisher markup</a> is not affected by this update. John Mueller has confirmed that in the comments section of his Google+ post:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="John Mueller Says Publisher Tag Remains Unaffected" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6390" height="47" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/9-3-2014-12-56-11-PM.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="460" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">John Mueller Says Publisher Tag Remains Unaffected</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. When logged into Google+ you can still see posts and pages from
people and pages in your Google+ circles, both in the main search
results and on the right hand-side.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Things We’ve Lost Since Google Authorship Was Taken Down</h2>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Author Recognition:</strong> Bloggers all over the world
finally got to be known by their names and faces thanks to Google
Authorship. Their work was credited duly in search results with a photo
and a name. People recognized these faces but this is not the case any
more.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Social Recognition: </strong>Authors were also recognized on their respective social media profiles that contained the same author photo.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Author Rank:</strong> Since authors were given due credit
for their work, there was a possibility of an author rank being
introduced in the future. There remains no current hope for an author
rank.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google+ Significance:</strong> Many authors started to
use Google+ profiles to share useful content in order to increase their
Google+ profile authority. Since the Google authorship take-down the
significance of Google+ for authors remains a big question.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Click-Through Rates:</strong> As mentioned above, Google
reported no significant increase in click-through rates in snippets
containing author information and photographs. To some readers, however,
who started to develop a sense of trust in a certain author,
click-through rates on other posts of the same author increased. This
will no longer be possible.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google is not to blame though – when it introduced Google Authorship
back in 2011 Google referred to it as ‘an experiment’. Three years down
the line the experiment did not yield the expected results in
global online presence, so it had to be taken down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Google Authorship Was An Experiment" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6542" height="187" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Google-Authorship-Was-An-Experiment.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="660" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Google Authorship Was An Experiment</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope is not lost. We can always expect Google to use the concept of
agent rank or author rank in the near future in a better way. Maybe
they’ll come up with a new way of bringing back all the benefits that
Google authorship once offered.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Never has something so simple as a string of numbers inflicted as much fear and confusion as IP addresses. Add <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/category/digital-marketing/seo-basics-digital-marketing/">SEO</a> complications into the mix and you’ve got some very frustrated webmasters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2013/04/robots-txt-a-beginners-guide/">IP addresses</a>
are a little complicated – they’re hardworking things after all. But
there’s no need to fear them. In this blog post we’ll explain what IP
addresses are and what you can expect if you decide to change yours.
Spoiler alert: it’s a lot simpler than you’d think!</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly, What Is an IP Address?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every machine connected to the internet – including your personal
computers and the machines that store website data (servers) – has a
unique IP address. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a string of
numbers that acts as an identifier for all devices. It’s essentially a
code that allows all machines (regardless of location) to ‘talk’ to each
other via the internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An IP address consists of four numbers (of one to three digits),
separated by a single dot. Each of the numbers can range from 0 to 255,
so an IP address might look like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
23.135.0.206</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
IP addresses are the single most important thing in technology today.
Without them we simply would not be able to use the internet. <a href="http://ipaddress.com/">IPAddress</a> explains further:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="IP Address Checker - WooRank Blog" class="aligncenter wp-image-7003" height="433" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Captura-de-pantalla-2014-12-03-a-las-14.57.34.png" title="" width="600" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This innocuous-looking group of four numbers is the key that
empowers you and me to send and retrieve data over our internet
connections, ensuring that our messages, as well as our requests for
data, will reach their correct internet destinations. Without this
numeric protocol, sending and receiving data over the World Wide Web
would be impossible.”</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Will Changing IP Address Impact My Website’s SEO?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Websites also have IP addresses, assigned by the server on which they
are stored. If you move your website to a new server (also known as a
hosting service) the IP address of your site will change. This puts many
people off making the move because they fear that such a drastic change
will have a huge impact on their website’s SEO. All that hard work
optimizing their website undone in one fell swoop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But are these concerns legitimate or is this another myth borne from
Google’s notorious secrecy? Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that for the
most part there’s little to worry about. According to our research, the
SEO impact of changing IP addresses is minimal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www2.leadqual.com/blog/searchengineoptimization-seo/does-changing-ip-address-impact-seo-rankings/">LeadQual</a>,
a US based marketing agency, recently moved their website to a new
hosting service. They were interested in the impact of such a move on
SEO and so carefully monitored their rankings for six weeks after the
deed was done. They noticed no decline in their rankings during that
period. In fact, LeadQual claim their rankings actually improved ever so
slightly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many other<a href="http://moz.com/community/q/how-much-will-changing-ip-addresses-impact-seo"> word-of-mouth reports</a> suggest similar stories. Rankings were either unaffected or slightly improved by moving to a faster server.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, as with most things there are a few possible exceptions,
such as geolocation and server ‘quality’. The location of the new server
is especially important – if, for example, you are targeting an
American audience, it is advisable to use an American server. As for the
quality of a server, if it is especially slow or you move to a
blacklisted neighborhood, you may notice a <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/08/panda-penguin-a-guide-to-feared-googles-zoo/">drop in your rankings.</a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
How to Change IP Addresses Seamlessly</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SEO may not be an issue, but there are other things that can go wrong
when you change IP addresses. It’s a highly technical process which
involves transferring all of your website files from one place to
another. It’s a bit like moving important physical documents from an
office in London to offices in New York. Documents could be lost in
transit or filed wrongly when they arrive in the new location, causing
confusion and chaos.</div>

Google’s very own Matt Cutts (an expert on all things SEO) provides a solid, <a href="https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/moving-to-a-new-web-host/">easy to follow guide</a>
for moving to a new webhost. The best thing about Cutts’ method is that
he has tried and tested it on his own website, so it’s based on
practice rather than theory. By following Matt Cutts’ five step method
you can move to a new IP address without having problems in Google <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/05/50-free-uptime-monitoring-services/">or suffering any downtime</a>. This means if you need to change your hosting service for any reason, you can do so without fear of losing business.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
By now, you’ve probably heard all about
Google’s algorithms. If you’re not familiar with Panda, Penguin and
Hummingbird (the algorithm’s cutesy code-names), be sure to read this
excellent, <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/08/panda-penguin-a-guide-to-feared-googles-zoo/">in-depth guide</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google’s not-so-fluffy algorithms have been sending the <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/11/3-reasons-to-accept-guest-posts/">SEO community</a>
into a spin since 2011, when the first (Panda) went live. And frequent
updates have continued to wreak havoc on unsuspecting websites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’ve been hit by an algorithm penalty,
it may feel like it’s the end of the road. Watching your rankings tank
and your organic traffic decline can be devastating, but it is possible
to recover. In fact, it’s even possible to improve on your pre-penalty
rankings and traffic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few blog posts ago, we showed you how to
recover from a Panda penalty. Today, we’ll be showing you how to bounce
back from a Penguin penalty.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
A Brief History of the Penguin Algorithm</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before we go on, let’s first take a look at
what the Penguin algorithm is and does. Announced in April 2012,
Penguin decreases the search rankings <a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/09/future-proof-seo-best-practices-for-staying-on-googles-good-side/">of websites that violate Google’s guidelines.</a> More specifically, it targets sites using manipulative black-hat tactics such as link spam and keyword stuffing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been 5 further updates
(confirmed) to the Penguin algorithm, which amounts to roughly 2 or 3 a
year. The most recent was on October 17, 2014 and it impacted <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/239162">around 1% of all English search queries</a>. This number may seem insignificant, but in reality it means millions of pages were de-ranked.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Identify the Penalty</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you wake up one morning to discover your
rankings have suddenly tanked, you’ll probably want to leap into
action. The very first thing you need to do then is identify the
penalty. You can’t fix the problem if you don’t know what it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two types of penalty: manual and
algorithmic. Manual penalties are easy to identify – you’ll find a
message from Google in your Webmaster Tools account. Google won’t let
you know if you’ve been hit by an algorithm penalty, but a severe and
sudden drop in traffic will give it away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Sudden Drop In Website Traffic Indicates A Penguin Attack" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7036" height="346" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Sudden-Drop-In-Website-Traffic-Indicates-A-Penguin-Attack.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="608" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Sudden Drop In Website Traffic Indicates A Penguin Attack<br />
</figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To find out which algorithm has affected your website, use <a href="http://algoroo.com/">Algoroo</a> or <a href="http://mozcast.com/">Mozcast</a> to check for recent updates. If for example you noticed a decline in traffic after October 17th penalty.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Analyze Problem Areas</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bad links and on-site spam are the usual
suspects for a Penguin penalty. First, you will need to analyze all of
your sites inbound links and get rid of harmful ones. Second, review
your website for issues with keyword stuffing, hidden text and link
cloaking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml">Jason DeMers</a>
claims that the overwhelming majority of Penguin penalties are doled
out because of link spam, so that’s what we’ll be focusing on today. Bad
inbound links might include:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Paid for links (not advertising)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Links on article directories and link farms</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Links in non-industry specific directories</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Links embedded in spammy content</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Use Google Webmaster Tools To Check Inbound Links To Site" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7037" height="424" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Use-Google-Webmaster-Tools-To-Check-Inbound-Links-To-Site.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="660" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Use Google Webmaster Tools To Check Inbound Links To Site</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can use your link profile (found in
Google Webmaster Tools) to search for these types of links. This may be a
long and tedious process, especially if you have thousands of back
links but it is absolutely necessary for recovery. Here is a really
useful guide to performing <a href="http://moz.com/blog/link-audit-guide-for-effective-link-removals-risk-mitigation">link audits</a>. However, if you don’t have the time and/or patience to do it yourself, consider enlisting the help of professional auditors.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Remove and Disavow Bad Links</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you have a list of all suspicious
looking links, it’s time to get rid of them. There are a couple of ways
to do this – you can ask the source website to remove the link or you
can <a href="http://www.815seo.com/link-removal-request-email-examples-and-template/">disavow them.</a> It’s important to note that just disavowing links may not be enough, so you should absolutely try to have them removed first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Disavow Tool - Blog WooRank " class="aligncenter wp-image-7052" height="389" src="http://wooblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Captura-de-pantalla-2014-12-15-a-las-16.07.53.png" style="text-align: left;" title="" width="650" /></div>
<figcaption style="text-align: justify;">Google Disavow Tool</figcaption><figcaption style="text-align: justify;"><br /></figcaption></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Contact the webmaster of the source site
and ask politely that they remove the link/s. There’s a great email
request template at the <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/239162">end of this post </a>(though the whole article is worth a read). Send a<a href="http://blog.woorank.com/2014/04/email-marketing-rules-tools-mobile-traffic/"> follow-up email after a couple of weeks if you don’t hear back</a>.
In some cases your request will be denied or ignored so this is when
you will need to disavow the link instead. Some SEO’s recommend
performing disavow requests on every bad inbound link, even the ones
that have been removed. This is entirely your call of course, but it’s
definitely worth considering.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Reassess Your SEO Strategy</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘Prevention is better than cure’ or so the
old saying goes. The cost of being hit by a Google penalty is too great
to ignore. It’s time to clean up your act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://blog.woorank.com/category/digital-marketing/seo-basics-digital-marketing/">You need a new SEO game plan </a>that
plays by the rules. Familiarise yourself with Google’s Webmaster
Guidelines, shun all spammy practices and focus on creating a marketing
strategy that will make your mother proud. The three pillars of
excellent SEO are: killer content, a great social media campaign and
natural inbound links.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember, the tactics that worked a few
years ago are old hat today. Don’t risk another penalty by continuing
with these shady SEO tactics.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all know the old song and dance about how content is king, but
what does it mean? Does it mean Google just loves content? Well yes but
largely because they rely on great content to attract links naturally,
giving honest, trustworthy signals of value. So obviously you want some
of those signals to say that your site is the man. Not to mention having
link worthy content is something every site wants for the traffic, for
the ranking benefits and for the credibility. All of these things help
make a site stand apart from the competition. So what exactly are the
secrets of creating content that attracts links?</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Research</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first step to figuring out what you can do that might get links
is to see what’s out there that already IS getting them. There are a few
key places to look in your quest:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Competitors</strong> – Find the best performing content on
your competitors’ sites. Some of it may be impossible to replicate, but
other efforts may inspire you with strategies you can use on your own
site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Top Bloggers and Information Sites – </strong>When you find
relevant blogs or popular resource sites you can look at all of the
posts, questions and other leads that give you an indicator of what
people have gladly linked to. Then you can then take those assets to the
next level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Tools</strong> – Keyword tools are extremely helpful in
figuring out what long-tail phrases and questions people may be asking
related to your site. You can use that information to write articles or
build info graphics that address those well searched topics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you take the time to analyze what performs well, you can improve
your odds of hitting your mark. You can’t give people what they want if
you have no idea what that is.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Titles</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing great titles is an important part of having content that gets
links. There’s no secret formula to writing titles but there are a few
things which are just good practices</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Match the Subject – </strong>Sometimes its fun to mislead
people with some title like “Clown Cars for Everybody” which actually
leads to a post about the history of the Mini-Cooper. Yeah it makes
sense and all but it’s not really what people were looking for when they
clicked on it. It’s better to be straightforward about what you’re
presenting so that you can keep the readers you do get.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Cute is Good, Searchable is Better – </strong>Taking a cue
from the last point, while it’s great to write clever titles that will
intrigue people, like “The Deep, Dark secrets of the One-eyed Jack”
which is a tutorial on Black Jack, but is anyone EVER going to search
for that combination of words if they aren’t directly looking for your
article? Probably not. However, “Learn to Play Black Jack like a Pro”
has a much better chance of being returned in a search by someone
looking to “learn to play black jack”. Except Online gambling is super
competitive, so that niche takes a ton of work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Buzzwords Still Work – </strong>You know how everybody likes
to slap words like “guaranteed” and “new and improved” on everything?
Well that’s because it works. Certain words like “Free”, “Quick” and
“Best” still grab people’s attention. It seems commercial and over done,
I know. But they do work so don’t neglect them.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Promotion</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can create all the content you want, and it can be amazing, but
if no one ever sees it, it’s not going to do you much good. Promoting
your content well is almost as important as making it great. The problem
is that getting your content in front of people is one of the hardest
parts of getting links. Fortunately there are a few ways to make it
happen.</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Make contacts</strong> – Your contacts and network are
crucial to getting people to look at your content and consider linking
to it or sharing it in other ways. You can spend time making contacts by</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Contributing to popular blogs in your niche</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Sending individual emails to webmasters with relevant sites</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Trying to get into weekly or monthly “round ups”</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Talking to local press</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Collaborating with charities and not-for-profits</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obviously there are many more ways to expand your contact base, but
the point is the more people you can build relationships with the more
of a platform you will have to distribute your content.</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Social Networking</strong> – Social media is one of the
better ways to build your network of contacts. But make sure you use it
well. Interact with others, re-tweet other people’s content and make
some completely non-promotional updates and/or Tweets. Humanity drives
social networking, not automation. By being personal and interactive you
can gain friends and allies. Just make sure your stream isn’t limited
to sales pitches and self-promotion, or you will only bore and alienate
people.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Authority </strong>– Making your company an authority in
your field is another highly valuable part of attracting links. When you
are a recognized leader in your industry your content will be
considered more credible. When other’s reference you as an expert it
builds up your brand name and increase your visibility. Making in-roads
and establishing collaborations with other giants in your space is one
of the best ways to use other people’s authority to build up your own.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="gfts_share"></a>
<br />
<div id="gfts_share_area">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Attracting links is a huge part of the life of a website, but in the
vast landscape of the internet, it’s a huge challenge. The content that
you add to your site can be the make or break factor in how many links
you are able to procure. But when you research your content ideas, write
the titles to gain the most search traction and promote your best
content in the right ways, you can get the links you need. Resource
development is an on-going part of maintaining a website and one that
will always remain vital. But when you master the finer point of content
creation and promotion, your site can become a link magnet.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you run an online community service where others are encouraged to
participate with their own thoughts, you’re sure to come across
negative comments throughout your blog or forum’s life. While negative
comments may be one of your greatest fears as a social media
participant, they are a reality. Furthermore, the way that you deal with
negative comments can either make or break your online reputation—and
the reputation of your business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tackling-bad-comments.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tackling bad comments on the blog" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2986" height="139" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tackling-bad-comments.gif" title="tackling-bad-comments" width="250" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Check out the following tips on dealing with negative comments in the online arena:</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Walk Away</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever you do, do <em>not </em>respond to negative comments
immediately. Chances are that you’re fairly upset or offended by the
comment or comments, and replying while in an emotional state of mind
isn’t the best way to deal with negativity on your blog or forum.
Instead, give yourself a couple of hours (at the very least) to sit on
the negative comment. Then allow yourself to respond.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Don’t Ignore the Comments</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it may be tempting to simply ignore the negative comments, this
is not the wisest route. By ignoring and/or deleting negative comments,
you may be tempting your unsatisfied readers to make a louder outcry on
a more public forum. You want to take on the negative comment and see
it as an opportunity to work on your customer service skills, if nothing
else.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Climb into Your Reader’s Shoes</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe it or not, some negative comments can actually be constructive underneath their offensive surface. Furthermore, this <em>is </em>the
Internet. More times than most, things get misconstrued in the online
world. Do your best to see your reader’s point of view on the subject at
hand. If you’re able to understand their perspective, great! Use this
as an opportunity to improve your blog or forum and thank your reader
for his/her constructive criticism. If you’re unable to understand their
perspective, just write it off.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Keep Your Ego in Check</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It might be your first instinct to say, “It’s <em>my </em>blog, and
I’ll say whatever I want to!” and storm off in a huff. But keep this in
mind: it’s a free world. Your readers have all the right in the world to
leave negative comments on your forum or blog. It’s your duty to
respond to these comments as maturely as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/angry_at_bad_comments.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Handling bad comments" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2985" height="128" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/angry_at_bad_comments.jpg" title="angry_at_bad_comments" width="200" /></a></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Own Up to Your Error</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It happens to the best bloggers and writers in the world. Mistakes
are made. If a reader’s negative comment is calling you out on an error,
and upon double-checking you see that the reader is correct, then it’s
time to own up to your mistake. Acknowledge the mistake you made and
apologize for the error in either your comments section or as an
addendum to the body text.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Be Positive</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If all else fails, try to be Sunny Sally or Optimistic Owen about the
situation. If the reader claims that a fact is incorrect when you know
it’s correct, prove your accuracy…but do it nicely! Do your best to see
past the negative comment, and do <em>not </em>let it ruin your day.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
7. Agree to Disagree</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If a reader leaves a particularly nasty comment disagreeing with your
view or what you posted, the best you can do is agree to disagree and
try to get the discussion onto a more productive topic. Acknowledge the
reader’s opinion and thank them for commenting, then ask them something
else about their experience. Chances are that they’ll grasp at the
opportunity to talk about their opinions some more.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it’s never fun receiving negative comments on your public
forum, it’s something that you’ll most likely have to deal with at one
time or another. By following these seven tips, you can ensure that
you’re responding with the utmost grace, class, and maturity.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a blogger who wants to make a living from your blog, then
the skill of writing is one of the most instrumental assets you can have
in terms of the growth and success of your site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regularly published quality content is king when it comes to building
your blog, so with this in mind you have probably already surmised that
writing will be something that you will need to do in some capacity and
for an ongoing period of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can of course hire a writer to do your article writing for you,
but for most people starting out online or doing it on the side, the
best cost-effective option is to get into the habit of writing the
articles yourself to begin with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from not having to pay writers, the other benefits are that
your writing skills will improve and you will learn a lot more about the
topic you are writing about and you will also hone your research
skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you are able to write well and fairly quickly, you will find
that this single skill can pave the path to your online success very
rapidly. Good and fast writing skills will enable you to consistently
churn out many quality articles for your blog but it will also give you
the skills to produce numerous eBooks and scripts for video
presentations or audio podcasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are 6 steps which will help you to increase the speed of your writing:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>1. Allocate a suitable time during your day which is devoted unconditionally to writing</strong></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Choose a portion of your day where you usually feel most energized
and focused and when you will not be interrupted. Set aside this period
for your writing.If you’re not sure which time of the day is optimal for
you, then try out a few different periods and see which is most
effective for you.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>2. Put some thoughts or ideas down in a blank text document irrespective of how useful you think they might be</strong></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">This will help you to quickly get a rough sense of direction in which you want to go with your article.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
It will also help you to administer a possible final topic category
for the article in case you were struggling to settle on what you want
to write about.For example, let’s say you think you want to write an
article about making money online but you’re still not sure what to
write. In your blank document you might start brainstorming whatever
pops in your head,eg:<em>making money online</em></div>
<em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>affiliate marketing</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>adsense</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>eBooks</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>freelancing</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>social media</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>traffic</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>backlinks</em></div>
<br />
</em><div style="text-align: justify;">
<em></em>As you brainstorm, you will get your thoughts and ideas
out of your head and onto paper (or computer screen), and the reason
why this is good is because once you have these thoughts written down
you will have negated the possibility that your mind will wander and
cause you to either forget them or persuade you that it isn’t a good
idea. Remember it doesn’t matter at this stage whether you think
something is a good idea or not. Just write it down.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Now go through the rough list from the above and see if you can link
any of the items together or drill down into sub-topics. For example,
affiliate marketing may be further broken down into: <em>affiliate marketing -> amazon products, digital products (clickbank). </em>By doing this you will eventually see a topic which stands out that you could write about.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>3. Go online and find 3 to 5 articles or pieces of information pertaining to your topic</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the research part of the writing process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is also where quick (speed) reading skills come in handy. At this
stage what you want to do is not read each article you find in depth but
simply scan it quickly with your eyes to determine if it contains
portions which will be useful for your article topic.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
After you’ve found a handful of articles, open another blank text
document and paste relevant paragraphs or bits of info (verbatim) that
you think will be useful for your article into the blank text document.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This should only take around 10-15 minutes and by the end of this step
you should have a notepad document with plenty of snippets of
information from your research and a separate notepad document with your
own brainstormed notes.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>4. Before writing, eliminate any potential distractions</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong>This step includes closing all browser windows including email and chat programs and turning off cell phones (if possible).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You should only have the two documents you created from steps 2 and 3 opened in front of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>5. Start writing and don’t worry about editing</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you are ready to start writing your article’s initial draft.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to <a href="http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/?p=3658" title="how focus can help build you a successful blog">maximize your focus</a> on
the task at hand use a timer or set some kind of an alarm to ring after
40 to 50 minutes.Spend the 40 to 50 minutes focused only on your
article writing and nothing else, ie, no emails, or reading the news or
other time-wasting activity.Take a 15 minute break after the timer
sounds and resume your focus again for 40-50 minutes.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Firstly read through each of the snippets of researched information
you pasted into one of the text documents and then start to write in
your words your interpretation of what you have read for each
snippet.Write directly underneath your brainstormed notes and do not
fall into the temptation of editing as you go along.At this stage you
don’t want to get bogged down into worrying about the order of
paragraphs or grammar and spelling because the act of editing so early
in the life of your article will slow down your train of thought and
creativity. (You will get to edit and re-order your paragraphs and
sentences at a later stage)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">As you write, you will find that you will naturally begin to expand
on your sentences and words will quite often begin to flow more
easily.Keep writing until you feel you have written enough to express
what you wanted to say about the whole topic.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>6. Edit your final version</strong></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Once you have written enough, spend some time editing your draft
with a critical eye. For instance delete your brainstorming notes and if
required, chop and change the order of paragraphs or fix up spelling
mistakes, or change words and etc.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t feel confident about grammar or spelling at least use a
spell checker or ask a friend to quickly proof read for you.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Try out the above techniques for the next month and you’ll be rolling
out your articles much more quickly and it’s quite likely they’ll be
better than ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing your own articles even on topics which have been very widely
covered need not discourage you. As you improve your writing skills and
speed up the rate at which you write, you will quickly build the content
and authority of your blog, but just as importantly you will stamp your
own fresh perspective on the topics which you write about.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s important to provide options for people to contact you from your
web site. Using a plain email on the page is prone to spam. Using a
contact form is a better choice. So let’s do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This morning I had a request from a client to setup a contact form on
his WordPress site. For some strange reason I didn’t flip on the cam
(i.e. the screencast software) to record the process. However…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After I was done adding the form which took about 5 minutes, I
started to do some research in Google Suggest to see what I would
discuss today for a tutorial that I aim to have published on Tips &
Tricks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, the long tail “how to add a contact form to wordpress” jumped
out at me. It’s a safe assumption that if one person wants to know how
to do something, many others do as well. It is of the same level of
safety for the assumption that if Google “suggests” a phrase in
auto-complete, people have searched for it in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, I present this tutorial to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nfa4GI07rkw?feature=oembed" width="500"></iframe></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Using a Template File or a Plugin for a WordPress Contact Form</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a fan of using plugins for WordPress functionality, and of
leaving the aesthetics to a theme. However, your theme may already have a
contact form Template attached to it. If so, you can just create a new
page and change the Template to “contact” or something similar and voila
you have a contact form.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this tutorial I will be using the Contact Form 7 plugin. It is
available at contactform7.com or in the WordPress.org plugin repository.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To add it you go to the add new plugin screen, do a search for
“contact form 7″ then get it downloaded, installed and activated like
you would any other plugin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From there you will create the form. In this tutorial we will just
give the form a name and then use all the defaults. This however only
scratches the surface of what Contact Form 7 is capable of. I encourage
you to explore the possibilities if you need more complex forms.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Creating a Contact Form for WordPress Using the Contact Form 7 Plugin</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the plugin is installed and activated, follow the steps below to create a contact form.</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">In the left hand menu, click <strong>Contact</strong> >> <strong>Add New</strong>.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Click the <strong>Add New</strong> button. This extra step is there to allow you to change the language of your contact form if need be.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Give it a title and click the <strong>Save</strong> button.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This will create a contact form that sends email to your admin email
address. It will also use the main fields: name, email, subject, and
message for the form. You can add extra stuff in there but we won’t in
this tutorial. We are creating just a basic contact form here.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
Adding the Contact Form 7 Shortcode to a WordPress Page</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The form that we created in the previous steps will have generated a shortcode. To get it, follow the steps below.</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">In the left hand menu, click <strong>Contact</strong> >> <strong>Contact Forms</strong>.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">You will see the shortcode next to the form that you created. Right-click it and click copy.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you just need to paste the shortcode into a new page. Simply go to <strong>Pages</strong> >> <strong>Add New</strong>,
give the page a name, then paste in the shortcode into the body area.
Then Publish the page, view it, fill out the form and test it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You should get an email post haste.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From here you can add the Contact Page to the WordPress menu if it isn’t displayed by default on your site.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you been outside lately? You know how you are seeing more people
using tablets and smartphones? Well, it’s not a trend as much as the
norm any more. Walking around, we are plugged in to our mobile device.
At some restaurants, the waiter or waitress takes our order. Mobile is
ubiquitous. So why, why, why are there still so many businesses that
have not yet adapted? I don’t know, and the good news is that you have a
way to take advantage of the new reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As smartphones and tablets are ever more capable of performing tasks
that used to be only capable on desktop, one thing is crystal clear:
Internet surfing, connecting on social media, checking emails and online
shopping is being taken over by mobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Naturally, because mobile Internet usage is steadily increasing, you
can see that it’s extremely important that your website is mobile
friendly. In the past, you had a website designed for desktop users and
another site specifically developed for mobile users. But, now we need a
website optimized for desktop, tablet and, mobile. Are you really gonna
build multiple unique sites to accommodate the various screen sizes?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There actually is a method to satisfy many types of users. It’s
called responsive web design. According to a report by Morgan Stanley,
Mobile Devices will overtake Desktop usage this year. 2013 may have been
hailed as “The Year of Responsive Design”, but RWD is far from last
year’s news. Put simply, having responsive design means a website
adjusts depending on which device they are being displayed on, ensuring
that whether the content is viewed on a phone, tablet, or desktop
computer, the website will remain user-friendly, which is ultimately the
most important feature of any website or blog. So as though you really
needed them, here are the Top 12 Reasons to convert to Responsive Web
Design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="responsive-design-infographic" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7516" height="283" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/responsive-design-infographic.jpg" width="365" /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Recommended By Google</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since Google is the primary search engine to impress with your
website, it is smart to follow what Google loves. Google not only
recommends Responsive Web Design (RWD) as the best way to target mobile
and tablet users, and also favors mobile-optimized sites when presenting
results for searches made on a mobile device. This is especially true
when mobile users search for local services. It’s important to note more
searches are originated on mobile devices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course there is still debate whether a separate mobile website or a
single, responsive site is the best route to take. From an SEO
perspective, a single site is the better option (More on this later).
Separate mobile websites have their own URL and different code, whereas
responsive sites use one URL and one set of pages and files, making it
simpler for Google more efficient for Google to crawl, index, and
organize content and avoids issues of duplicate content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With 67 percent search market share, when Google speaks, search
marketing professionals listen. Google now states that responsive web
design is the <a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/smartphone-sites/" target="_blank">industry best practice</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you think about it, it’s also easier and less confusing for
users to share, interact with, and link to than content on a stripped
down mobile site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, a mobile user who shares content from a mobile site
with a friend on the Facebook app who then accesses that content using a
desktop, which results in that user viewing a stripped down mobile site
on their desktop. This creates a less than optimal user-experience, and
because of the large emphasis Google is now placing on user-experience
as a ranking factor, this is essential to take into account with regards
to SEO.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="search-on-mobile-devices" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7517" height="240" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/search-on-mobile-devices.jpg" width="323" /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
2. One Website, Multiple Devices</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Providing a great user-experience across multiple devices and screen
sizes is the most appealing and most critical aspects of responsive web
design for today’s uber mobile world. Take the following example. I
search for a birthday gift on my smartphone during a break at work. I
then continue researching this product on the same site on my MAC when I
get home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because the site is responsive, won’t be frustrated with the extra
steps to locate the desktop version of the site, and find the product
all over again.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Easier to Manage</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having a separate desktop and mobile site requires having separate
Google Adwords campaigns, SEO campaigns and separate Google Analytics
reports. Managing one site is of course, far easier than managing two
sites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There can be an argument made for multiple sites though, such as
having a mobile-specific Adwards and SEO strategy, such as optimizing
for keywords that are more likely to be searched when someone is on
their smartphone.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Positive User Experience Is Key</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If a user lands on your mobile website and is frustrated or doesn’t see what they are looking for, according to <a href="http://www.google.com/think/multiscreen/" target="_blank">Google’s Think Insights</a>
on Mobile, there’s a 61% chance they will leave and go to a different
website. Data shows a positive experience with your responsive website a
user is 67% more likely to buy a product or use a service.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Blogging and Social Activities Bring Mobile Visitors</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re like most smart Inbound Marketers and incorporate blogging
and social media in your strategy, you have most likely been seeing
increased mobile traffic. A recent study by ComScore cites that 55% of
social media consumption happens on a mobile device. SHOCKER!</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Responsive Design is Preferred for SEO</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Typically, Responsive Websites perform better and are easier to
maintain. One thing not mentioned above is that a challenge of having a
separate mobile site is that you will need to build the authority of
this site from scratch, and who wants to go to that extra trouble?</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
7. Responsive Helps Combat a High Bounce Rate</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if your regular website is sitting pretty in search results, if
it looks and performs like crap on my tablet or smartphone, bounce rate
will be a big problem. Non responsive websites will suffer from a high
bounce rate if the content is too stripped down, or just plain clunky
and too challenging to work with compared to the content offered on the
main/desktop site. Google will naturally interpret this high bounce rate
as a sign that a website irrelevant, which will lead to your drop in
rankings, which is why we don’t see mobile versions of sites ranked
high.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RWD means that there is no more compromising on the content you choose to display!</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
8. A Speedy Responsive Website is Key</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The content per page on a mobile or tablet device should load in
under 1 – 2 seconds according to the Google PageSpeed Developers
standards. I’m not sure how possible that is when loading a desktop
website on a mobile device. I haven’t timed it, and I can tell you that I
don’t wait long before I close the window.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
9. Responsive Adapts to Future Devices</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As alluded to earlier, the benefit of responsive design is that the
size of the template is designed based on screen size not device.
Obviously, regardless of what size screen someone is viewing your
website it will display properly for that screen size. Unless, there
will be a worldwide movement to standardize on one screen size,
responsive design is here to stay. Having a mobile website is no longer
just a nice feature or after thought. Fully functional websites for all
screen sizes are mission critical for the growth of your business.
What’s the ROI? check out is this “<a href="http://fvm.withgoogle.com/fvm/en/d/" target="_blank">Full Value of Mobile</a>”
calculator by Google. Input your different business and marketing
variables to learn how your metrics can be increased with proper
responsive mobile design.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
10. Responsive Design allows you to keep track of who visits your site</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The great thing about online assets is that you can see who visits
them, which allows you to increasingly improve your targeting. It should
go without saying that with multiple versions of your site, it is more
challenging to track analytics. This is the same logic against multiple
business listings on various directories like Yelp, Manta, Merchant
Circle, Kudzu, etc. because traffic is diluted between the various
versions of your site. As a user, it can be extremely frustrating when
searching for a site and then needing to find the most current and
accurate site listed on the SERPs. Just sayin.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
11. Responsive Design saves you money.</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever heard the saying: You get what you pay for? There is a
reason that saying still lives today and applies to Responsive design.
Sure, a complicated, well crafted, responsive design could be expensive
to develop or implement (Unless you select one of the 1000 options
available for WordPress websites), but once published, you can maintain
it quite easily. This is much more economical to maintain one site
rather than multiple sites, wouldn’t you agree?</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
12. Responsive Design has Pay-Per-Click benefits.</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google AdWords has now converted the web to “enhanced campaigns”.
What this means for you is the targeting of various devices is the
treated the same. The benefit for you is that a website using Responsive
Design makes it a whole lot easier to manage your PPC. Businesses have
much more flexibility and control in how they reach consumers which are,
you guessed it, using more mobile devices. “Google’s enhanced campaigns
represent the biggest single change in the past 10 years to the basic
structure of AdWords campaigns,” says Larry Kim, founder and CTO of
WordStream.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Search Engine Optimization is a very hot topic in the World Wide Web.
After all, everybody wants to rank higher and come up on the first page
of Google search and get more traffic. I have identified and made a
list of top 15 SEO practices that I tend to forget quite often. These
simple SEO techniques if practiced properly can make a significant
difference as to how my pages are ranked in the Search Engine Queries.</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use rel=”nofollow” tag on low value links to not pass the page rank
juice. For example ‘Read the rest of the entry’, ‘About’, ‘Contact’ etc.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use proper anchor text for interlinks. Don’t use ‘here’, ‘there’ etc for the anchor text (if you can avoid it).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Optimize the images, always create alt tags and write description in the alt tag.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use search engine friendly permalinks. Try not to have ‘&’, ‘?’,
‘!’ etc characters in the URL. Sometimes it is unavoidable but try to
keep it to a minimum.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use hyphens (-) between words to improve readability.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Do not use underscores (_) in URLs, use hyphens (-) instead.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Do not use session id in URLs.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use sticky posts.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use tag clouds (if it applies).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Have a category description paragraph.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Let the visitors subscribe to category specific RSS feed. (<a href="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-plugin-for-category-specific-rss-feed-subscription-menu-325">Use category specific RSS plugin for WordPress</a>)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use internal linking when possible and appropriate.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use sub-directories rather than sub-domains when possible.
Sub-domains do not share link love from the main domain as it is treated
as a different domain.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Research the target audience and aim the site content appropriately.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Keep the content up to date. Visitors don’t like outdated content.
Updating the content frequently also attracts the Search engines spiders
to index the web pages frequently.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going forward I will try to use this list to optimize my web pages for search engines.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Developing SEO strategies that can drive an immense amount of traffic
to your site within a month is not an easy task, especially if you want
your site’s visitors to convert into profits. Generating highly
targeted traffic or visitors that have the intent of availing the
services or products that you are offering is the best way to really
earn from your website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The good news is that there are many ways that you can do to hasten
the process of having your site noticed by people who are in need of the
information, services or products that you provide. Here are some of
the ways that you can do to generate specifically targeted online
visitors in under a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>1. Target easy to rank long-tail keywords through blog posts</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your site has no blog section yet, then you better start including
one. Blogs can benefit your business in so many ways, and consistently
driving traffic to your site is one of them. Using long-tail keywords in
your blog posts’ titles (eg. How to learn SEO), can extremely help your
site’s performance in terms of traffic generation, seeing as this
strategy can very much take your blog posts on top of SERPs without
further improving them through off-page optimization or link building.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blog posts can naturally rank on their own basing on its topical
relevance as seen by search engines, and taking advantage of low
competition keywords will make your pages rank on the top page of SERPs
in no time, which means more organic traffic to your site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>2. Targeting 3 -5 keywords for each page on your site</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Creating your pages or blog posts with the intent of ranking for more
than 2 keywords is always a smart move, since it will allow your site
to draw more relevant traffic along the process. Say, if your site has
15 blog posts or pages on its first month, and each page are targeting 3
different keywords. Doing the math will give you a result of 45
keywords giving you constant traffic within a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doing this strategy is very simple, wherein you just have to use or
combine your targeted keywords on your page or post’s title, URL and on
the body copy (eg. Top 10 advanced on-page SEO strategies). With the
given example of a post title you are able to target 7 keywords that you
can use within the body of the content, including:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Advanced on-page SEO strategies</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">On-page SEO strategies</li>

<li style="text-align: justify;">On-page optimization strategies</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">On-page SEO techniques</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>3. Dofollow blog commenting</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commenting on blogs with the same theme as your site – particularly
blogs that allow dofollow attributed links on their comment section – is
one of the most effective ways to promoting your site as well as in
improving your keywords’ search rankings. This technique has a lot of
advantages and can certainly take your campaign a long way, given that
this method allows you to acquire relevant backlinks and can possibly
build relationships with other bloggers related to your niche.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Networking with other bloggers is extremely beneficial, especially
with higher value link placements such as special mentions, in-content
links (used as a resource), guest blogging opportunities and sponsored
reviews. Anyway, leaving comments on blogs with the use of your keywords
as anchor texts can help improve its search rankings in just weeks,
particularly if the links that you’ve built are from topically relevant
pages and are dofollow attributed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>4. Guest blog posting</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guest blogging has been known to be a link building method that’s
really advantageous in terms of driving relevant traffic, acquiring high
quality links, passing through Pagerank and in improving SERP rankings.
It’s best to choose blogs that are relevant to your site, have high
page ranks and receives a lot of traffic on their site (can be based
through Alexa traffic rank).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In choosing the topic to write for guest postings, writing topics
that are strictly about the keywords you are aiming at is the most
effective way to get most out of this technique, since the link that
you’ll be able to build through your author bio will have higher scores
basing on its relevance as well as in targeting the audience that will
be able to read it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>5. Forum participation</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Forum posting is a good start for any campaign, especially if you
choose to participate on high PR and high traffic forum sites. The best
way to benefit from this method is to establish an expert or
knowledgeable image through this channel, and not just focusing on
building links through your signature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Establishing yourself through forum sites and being genuinely active
in participating with the community can bring you targeted visitors and
interested clients within a month, so spending 30 minutes a day on 1 or 2
authority forums around your site’s industry is certainly worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>6. Article submission and converting your articles</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This link building method has proven its worth over the past decade
and is still known to be one of the most effective ways in generating
consistent traffic as well as highly relevant links that can boost your
search rankings. The best thing about article marketing is that it’s
capable of building solid links as it gets syndicated naturally,
particularly if you have written a solid and informative article.
Submitting an exceptionally written article to several highly trusted
article directories (such as Ezinearticles, Articlesbase, Goarticles,
Amazines, and many more) can enhance its chances of getting scraped or
used by other sites that are seeking for quality content to be posted,
which gives you more extra links and of course, more traffic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But there’s more to this method than just the traditional article
marketing, you can as well convert your articles to other formats for
more exposure and external links pointing to your site. Converting your
articles to PDF, podcasts, slide/powerpoint presentation and videos, and
then submitting them to their respective directories can extremely
amplify your site’s traffic in a short period of time, given that these
formats have higher chances of ranking high on search engine result
pages.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The internet offers a huge amount of benefits to those who wish to
take the time to build a business or offer something creative to share
with the rest of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The qualities about online businesses which attracts the most people
is the flexibility of lifestyle and the prospect of making a very good
living because of the huge global exposure and reach which you
potentially have by being connected online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately due to this wide potential market base there will
always be those who will try to exploit this in ways considered to be
unethical. I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise because unethical
business practices happen all the time and have been happening since man
first started to trade in ancient times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only difference is, now with the interconnectedness of the world
wide web and the huge internet technological advancements, the unethical
side of business and marketing has been magnified.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance before the internet really started to take off in the
late nineties, people were hardly ever confronted with ads, spam or junk
mail about “acai berries” or “penis enlargement”. I mean when was the
last time you got a flyer in your regular letterbox about “Adding 3
inches” to your you-know-what?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The peculiarity of today’s internet marketing is solely due to the
nature of the technology itself and for all of the advantages and
benefits the internet has brought us, the same advantages and benefits
are unfortunately exploitable for those intent on using unethical means.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are probably a few qualities about the online environment which
are unique to it compared to other mediums and which therefore make the
unethical marketing seem so much more pronounced.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For instance we already mentioned the grand scale of reach which
people have when using the internet. You could potentially spam millions
of people daily on the internet with little or no cost to you, whereas
doing the same thing using snail mail would take you years and probably
send you broke.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, the faceless nature of the internet makes it seem easier for
people to fall into unethical practices because they don’t ever have to
face the people they’re trying to scam.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The current global economic turmoil and job uncertainty is no doubt
also playing a role in increasing peoples’ fear and desperation and so
some are willing to try anything to make a few extra bucks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But in the long haul you will find those trying to cheat the system
and other people, eventually get found out and their money-making
strategies come crashing down. Quite often these same types of people
quickly try to think up new schemes and the process starts all over
again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The point is that from the perspective of building a stable income
online, unethical schemes and scams are definitely not the way to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know it’s a cliche but it’s also very true when people say: “If
something sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t”. This cliche
has never been more apt than what has been happening on the internet now
for over a decade.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Google and How It’s Leveling the Playing Field</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google is by far the most popular search engine, taking something
like over 80% of the internet search pie followed by Bing and Yahoo who
share less than 10% each (according to 2011/2012 statistics).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may also probably know that Google is a huge business globally,
making most of its money either directly or indirectly from search
activities. Therefore as the biggest search engine provider, Google is
also most exposed to the unethical activities of people trying to cheat
the system. Due to this exposure, they are also constantly tweaking and
refining their search engines to combat the low quality, low value, high
spam sites being displayed in their search results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest announcement by Google’s Matt Cutts (who is the head of
the Webspam team) was that they are increasingly targeting sites which
are “over-optimized” – meaning those sites which might have an
overabundance of unnatural backlinks and stuffed with keywords which
make them almost unreadable and uninformative.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After all it’s in Google’s and everybody else’s interest that they
provide a quality service to its clients by way of offering relevant
search results. This means reducing the number of bounces caused by
sites which are low quality and spammy in nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The way Google usually targets low quality spammy sites is that it
gives them a lower weighting and ranking in the search results. The
effect of this is that such sites are demoted from say the top one
hundred search results to something further down the rankings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Changes in Google’s core search algorithm and rankings methods
shouldn’t come as a surprise when you consider that Google apparently
make hundreds of code and algorithm modifications per year. But what is
becoming more and more surprising is the increasing intelligence being
built into the Google algorithms which are making them smarter in
identifying a “good” versus a “bad” site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what does this have to do with you and your online ambitions?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quite simply, if you dedicate your time and work smart to offer
quality products/services/information to people and in doing so you also
instill ethical practices in your online business ventures, then you
will more likely reap the rewards from your hard work; quite often
simply from the benefits gained from Google’s smarter search algorithm.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On April 24th 2012 Matt Cutts, the head of the webspam team at Google
announced that there will be another algorithm change to the Google
search engine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This latest update has been named “<strong>Penguin</strong>” and the main objective of the change is to specifically target <strong>webspam</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To quote Matt’s words:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>“The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google’s existing <a href="http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769#3">quality guidelines</a>.
We’ve always targeted webspam in our rankings, and this algorithm
represents another improvement in our efforts to reduce webspam and
promote high quality content.”</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your site’s search engine traffic went down significantly since
that date then your site is most likely being penalized by Google for
not following the quality guideline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of you may remember that the last time a high profile and
significant algorithm change occurred was around February 2011 and that
was given the moniker of “<strong>Panda</strong>”. Back then the Panda
algorithm tweaks were aimed at penalizing sites with poor quality
content – especially content associated with content farms like article
directories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the Penguin update is believed to chiefly be aimed at
webspam, a lot of the general rules of thumb regarding what makes a
quality website in the eyes of Google still apply.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main thing which all website owners and creators should keep in
mind is that Google is always tweaking their search algorithms because,
as a global multi-billion dollar a year business, it’s in their
interests to provide accurate and quality search results to their users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Matt Cutt’s even says that Google wants to provide search results which will enhance the experience of the user.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How will the Penguin update affect your sites?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For starters if you have created and maintained a solid site with
original and quality content which has been organically rising up the
rankings, then you won’t have much to worry about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By “organically” we mean that you have been steadily creating quality
content which has been indexed by Google and over time it has naturally
risen in the search rankings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if you have tried to take shortcuts and employed what are
known as “black hat” techniques to try and fool Google into ranking your
site above the higher quality competitors, then you will probably see
some significant drops in your rankings and traffic in the coming
months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Examples of “black hat” techniques which may have worked in the past
but will, over time, cause more harm than good to your site are things
like:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Unnatural and excessive back-linking</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might have noticed by simply checking your spam folder in your
WordPress administration panel to see how much garbage your Akismet
plugin filters out of your comment area.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
All of these spam comments are from people (or automated robots) which
leave comments with links going back to their site in the hope that they
will be able to build a significant number of back-links. A lot of the
time the comments are totally irrelevant and out of context to the topic
at hand which makes them very unnatural.Another technique spammers
employ is to try and leave comments with links going back to their sites
in forums. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">There is also a variation of this method whereby the
spammers create forum profiles and place links in their profile without
ever leaving a comment.Whereas previously the technique of building huge
numbers of back-links may have been effective in increasing search
rankings, this type of tactic is now being targeted more readily by
Google and it may be something they are addressing in the Penguin update
too.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Poorly written articles which don’t make sense because of bad grammar</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the effort to write as many articles as possible in the shortest amount of time, some people use what are known as article <strong>spinners</strong>.
That is, they will often try to recycle existing articles which they’ve
found on the net, by using a spinner to reword the article so that
Google doesn’t detect any duplicate content.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
The end result of sites which are primarily built using such a technique
is that they are grammatically illegible and quite useless as far as
being informative goes.Google is constantly introducing intelligence
into their search engines and crawlers to spot things like this and
penalise sites with such qualities by demoting them in the search
rankings.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Keyword stuffing</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Keyword stuffing” refers to the unnaturally high frequency of keywords
which are placed on a page. The reason why people do this is that they
hope to get a better ranking for their chosen keywords by exhibiting a
large number of those keywords on their pages.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">
Quite often, when you read a page of a typical spammy website you will
find that the content actually doesn’t make any sense because the post
was written specifically to contain as many instances of a keyword as
possible without any regard to the quality of the content itself.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The above are just some of the “black hat” techniques which spammers
and wanna-be Internet millionaires employ in order to short circuit the
work needed to succeed online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, with algorithm tweaks such as Panda and Penguin and future
updates, these techniques will soon be as toxic as kryptonite was for
superman in terms of the success of your website.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What to Do if Your Site Got Penalized?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your site got penalized by the penguin update then you should try the following:</div>
<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Carefully read Google’s <a href="http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769#3" target="_blank">quality guidelines</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Make the necessary changes to your site</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Log into your Google Webmaster tools account and submit a request for reconsideration</li>
</ol>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few weeks ago I wrote an article on <a href="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-google-adwords-for-2015-7728">getting the most out of your Adwords</a> account. In this article I will share some tips on how to select keywords for Adwords.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A good place to start with search engine marketing (SEM) is the use
of keywords because that is how your customers find you, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If there is anything that you remember from this article, remember these 3 things:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Think holistically about the different ways that customers could reach you</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Align your keywords and their management with your overall business outcomes</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Delete your low search volume keywords</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a few ways to develop a list of keywords for your AdWords
campaign. Think of the words on the website, your services and products
that you offer. What terms do you think your customers use to describe
or search for you? What terms do your competitors use to be found?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember the story of the 3 bears? Goldilocks tried the porridge and
one was too hot and another was too cold and one was juuust right. Well,
you can think of keywords for AdWords in the same way. Some are too
broad and some are too long and some are juuust right. In SEO, we LOVE
Long Tail keywords because those are very relevant. They may not be
searched as much as a broad term, but when they are, its money in the
bank. Unfortunately, you can’t have a lot of long tail keywords in
AdWords because of the low search volume. Compared to shorter keywords
(those with two to four words), keywords that contain five words or more
drive less than half the volume of clicks and impressions on average.
It also hurts your quality score. I’ll explain this a little later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s say you are David Bouley, the owner and chef of Bouley’s French
Restaurant in New York City and you want to have a campaign to sell
more gift certificates to your restaurant. Using the term <strong>Gift Card</strong>
is too broad because it will trigger all kind of searches that are
irrelevant. He doesn’t want people seeing his ads when searching for
Harry & David Gift Baskets. Using <strong>Restaurant Gift Certificates</strong>
is a little better because it triggers those searching for that more
specific gift certificate, yet it can still be a problem because it can
show up for Olive Garden gift certificate, or Chili’s, which target
totally different diners with a different price and dining experience
expectation in mind. A good keyword phrase could be <strong>french fine dining gift</strong> card or <strong>french fine dining gift certificate</strong>. This targets diners who are interested in a French Fine Dining Experience. Another possibility could be <strong>Bouley’s Gift Certificates</strong>, however I bet the search volume would be very low.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Keyword Tools</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many software tools available to assist you in finding the
best keywords for your campaign or website. One of them is the <strong>Google Keyword Planner</strong>.
What I have found though, is that these tools are not as accurate as
you may think. The search volume has been off and the bids weren’t as
accurate as what I saw when my campaigns went live.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was told once by a very successful online marketing professional,
Matt Trainer, who has made a good living by helping major brands with
getting massive targeted traffic and customers into their sales funnels,
to take 10 – 15 minutes and step away from the computer and actually
think how I, as a potential client would search for that product or
service. I’m sure you can think of the right terms just as well as any
software can. Heck, you can even think of what terms your competitors
are using. Like many things in life, you just gotta take action and step
out in faith. Give it a try yourself and, you may start to realize that
this practice will work better for you too if you try it and practice
it. Maybe you have already seen the same things that I have experienced.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Grouping Keywords</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google LOVES tightly themed, related and relevant content. You want
to match keywords to a user’s search terms and to the ads as well as the
landing page you are sending them to visit. I arrange keywords within
the adgroups. It also makes it easier for you to manage and maintain
your account. If you are on a tight budget, keywords are often grouped
at the campaign level for greater budgetary control.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Stay Clear of Low Searched Keywords</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watch out for low search volume keywords. As Stated earlier, SEM
doesn’t like long tail keywords. These terms often haven’t driven a
single impression in months or even years because people aren’t
performing searches on them (not because your bid isn’t winning any
auctions). While you want them on your page for SEO, Delete them in SEM
campaign if you have other keywords that could potentially cover that
traffic. My personal preference is to have 2 – 3 long tail keywords that
are super relevant even though they don’t perform well because when
people do search for example: <strong>Buy</strong> <strong>Bouley’s NYC Gift Certificates, </strong>His
ad will show up and the person looking for that and ready to buy a $500
gift certificate for a 5 course French Fine Dining luxury experience
will have found exactly what they want.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s Get Negative</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just as important as the keywords people use to find you; Negative
keywords are an essential part of a well-rounded keyword strategy. In
order to increase the profitability and improve control over the flow of
traffic in your account, use negative keywords to the fullest. On the
most basic level, negative keywords prevent you from showing ads to
people who are less interested in what you have to offer, even though
their queries may be syntactically related to the keywords in your
account.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, let’s go back to the example of David Bouley’s French Restaurant.
He doesn’t want to show up for searches of gift cards from Pizza Hut,
or Chili’s or Applebee’s, etc. So a sure fire way to assure we are
targeting the most relevant audience is to add these restaurants to the
negative keyword list along with gift baskets and Harry. Once the
campaign is running, you will see in the keyword details reports what
terms are triggering your ads and then you can add the appropriate ones
to the negative keyword list.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having a strong negative keyword list will be valuable as it improves
the performance of your campaign and improves the quality scores of
your ads.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Scoring High Marks on Quality</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know how you have those warning or indicator lights on the dash
of your car? They turn on when you need to check your engine, or if your
oil or gas is running low? Well, you can think of the Quality Score of
your keywords as a warning light: something that alerts you to potential
problems which need to be checked. A lot of advertisers spend a lot of
time on this. A good rule of thumb I go by is a score under 6 is a
stronger indicator that I need to check the relevance of the term and
how it’s performing and if I need to tweak my landing page or ad or
both.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Attempting to use tricks, shortcuts or short-term solutions to force
the quality score up isn’t the way to go. Rather, you’re better off to
focus on your long-term performance outcomes and look for ways to reach
them by improving your user experience. Google is ALL about the user
experience and so should you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That should be enough for now to get ya started. I’d love to read your thoughts on this.</div>

If you want to get traffic from the social web, all you have to do is publish updates with your links in them, <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">right?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I wish that were the case. If it were this simple, my follower and fan count would guarantee me hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from social media sites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Tactic #1: Twitter users love pictures</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
For almost all of 2014, each time I tweeted a new Quick Sprout blog post, I included the post headline and a link back to my site.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On average, I was getting around 6,000 visitors a month from Twitter. For example, I received 5,992 visitors during the month of December simply by tweeting my blog posts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you can see from this graph, I’ve since been able to increase my Twitter traffic to 12,470 visitors a month. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How was I able to increase it?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I started to include pictures within my tweets.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

When I tweet a link to a Quick Sprout blog post, I try to include a picture from the post within the tweet. This alone has helped generate an increase of 108% in my Twitter traffic.</div>

Tactic #2: Space out your updates</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The more you post, the more traffic you’ll receive, right? That’s what I thought, but I quickly realized that fans and followers get overwhelmed if you post too often.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve tried everything from posting multiple times each hour to posting hourly on the dot, and I’ve even tried posting once a day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The optimal frequency of posts depends on which social network you’re using.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I found that posting <a href="https://blog.kissmetrics.com/science-of-social-timing-1/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">once every other day on Facebook</a> helps increase your click-throughs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
On Twitter, you don’t want to post more than once per hour.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
And on LinkedIn, you don’t want to post more than once per day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you want to post more or less often than I’ve suggested, go ahead. However, if you do follow my advice, you should see an increase in your click-through rates.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #3: Only share the best content</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
No matter what network you are trying to leverage, sharing mediocre information will only hurt you. I’ve learned this the hard way because when I get lazy and share mediocre information, I see that my social traffic drops.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why?</em> People assume that all of the content you are sharing is mediocre even if it isn’t. But if the content you are sharing is always great, people will look forward to your updates and actually click through.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="facebook traffic" src="http://quicksprout.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/facebooktrafficdrop.png" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you look at the image above, you’ll notice that my Facebook traffic has dropped by 74%. Sure, some of my content during December performed better on Facebook, but I also wrote fewer posts during that month.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the main reasons for the drop was that the updates that I left on Facebook were mediocre. Instead of spending 4 hours a month thinking of good updates, I spent 30 minutes. This also caused me to get fewer likes per post.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #4: Follow the 80/20 rule</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can come up with your own ideal ratio, but I’ve found that sharing content from your own site 20% of the time is ideal. If you only promote content from your own site, people will find you to be too self-promotional.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
When starting out, generally you’ll want to tweet four times about things that aren’t related to your business before you share your own content.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Make sure the updates you post that aren’t about your business are high in quality. Releasing mediocre updates, as mentioned above, will only decrease your overall click-through rates.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #5: Place your links near the beginning of your social posts</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Whenever you release a tweet or a Facebook post, you can control where you place your link. I always place my links towards the end of my updates as it is more convenient, but that doesn’t always cause the most click-throughs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="link traffic" src="http://quicksprout.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/heatmapclicks.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you can see from the heat map above, <a href="http://danzarrella.com/new-twitter-data-optimal-link-placement-for-clicks.html" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">links that are roughly a quarter into your status updates</a>, especially on Twitter, tend to receive the most clicks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
So, the next time you write a Twitter update, don’t add a link at the end of your tweet — add it at the quarter mark.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #6: Don’t post on Facebook unless you include a photo</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Just like on Twitter, Facebook users love images. In fact, they love images so much that Facebook status updates that contain images generate <a href="https://blog.kissmetrics.com/more-likes-on-facebook/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">104% more comments, 54% more likes, and 84% more click-throughs</a>.</div>

Even more interesting is that if you include a call to action within your image, on average you should see an additional increase of 14% in your click-through rate.</div>

<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #7: Don’t forget to use hashtags</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you haven’t had a chance to read <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2015/02/20/the-ultimate-guide-to-hashtags/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">this infographic</a>, you should do so now. It breaks down how using hashtags across all social networks can get you more traffic – in many cases <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">twice </em>the amount of traffic — compared to not using any hashtags.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
For each social network, your approach will need to be slightly different; the infographic breaks this down for you. Just make sure the hashtags you are using are relevant.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Years ago, once I realized the value of hashtags, I started using them in all of my updates. It didn’t help much initially because I was just spamming, but once I realized the value of <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">relevant</em> hashtags, I saw an increase in click-throughs.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Why would you post when your fans and followers aren’t online? <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I know I wouldn’t.</em> So how do you figure out when your social media followers are online?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Simply Measured has created a few <a href="http://simplymeasured.com/free-social-media-tools/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">tools</a> to help determine best posting times for your posts. All you have to do is connect your Twitter or Facebook account with its free tools, and it will show you when all of your followers are online.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Once you run a report using these tools, look for an image like the graph above. It will help you understand when to post.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tactic #9: Be short and to the point</strong></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve tried to find the ideal length for social media status updates, but it varies depending on the network. With Twitter, you don’t have much room anyway since the platform limits the number of characters you can use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
With other platforms, like Facebook, however, you can write paragraphs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nonetheless, I’ve found that shorter updates tend to get the most clicks. For example, I’ve tested updates on Facebook that are paragraph-long and found that the click-through rates on these updates are two to six times less frequent than updates that are one-sentence long and around 40 characters in length.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Even though I broke down 10 tactics to help you increase your click-through rates, don’t take my word for it. What works for me may not work for you. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">And vice versa.</em></div>

You should also keep in mind that social networks change over time. For that reason, you have to continually adapt and test your strategies. Failing to do so will cause your click-through rates to drop.</div>

Because I haven’t updated the post since 2012, it has become slightly outdated and is driving less traffic now than it did in its earlier days. For instance, in August of 2013 the post received 121,550 visitors.</div>

I update my blog post on <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2009/12/07/101-motivational-business-quotes/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">business quotes</a> a few times a year by replacing the quotes that everyone has already seen with new ones. That article was written in 2009, and it still consistently gets over 10,000 visitors a month.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why?</em> Because the article is still relevant; the bounce rate on the page remains low; and I continually update the page.</div>

Have you noticed that I link to my most popular posts within my sidebar?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

I link to my best posts within my sidebar, featuring those that rank most popular overall and those that are tending now. Not only is this <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2010/02/25/what-i-learned-about-you-through-4-redesigns/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">area highly clicked on</a>, but all of these posts tend to rank well due to the fact that I link to them throughout my website.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Just Google terms like “online marketing.” You should see Quick Sprout ranking on page 1 at the 3rd spot.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
By linking to your most popular posts within your sidebar, you should receive more clicks to them and increase your overall rankings. Just make sure you don’t spam the links with rich anchor text.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add email opt-ins within the post</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your most popular posts get traffic, so why not have them help you generate more traffic? By adding an email opt-in to your posts, you’ll gain more email subscribers. This way, every time you publish new blog posts, you can notify all the people on your email list.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
To maximize the number of emails you are collecting, the email opt-in offer needs to be relevant to the blog post. The difference in conversions is huge.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
For example, Kim Roach published a blog post on <a href="http://www.buzzblogger.com/best-fiverr-gigs-of-2014/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">the best Fiverr gigs of 2014</a>, in which she broke down the 10 best gigs. Towards the bottom of the post, she added a call to action, inviting people to give their email addresses in exchange for an additional 10 gigs she showcased in her PDF file.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="fiverr" src="http://quicksprout.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/optinform.png" style="border: 0px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
By creating a relevant offer, she was able to increase her opt-in rate from 0.54% to 4.82%. <a href="http://backlinko.com/increase-conversions" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">That’s a 785% increase</a>.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add your most popular posts to your drip campaigns</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
You should consider linking to your most popular posts within your email drip campaigns. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why?</em> People must be liking them for a reason…which is why these posts get shared more often and receive more search traffic than others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
By linking to them within your email drip campaigns, you’ll drive more eyeballs to them. This will help increase the number of social shares and the number of sites that link back to these articles.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your email subscribers are the most loyal readers you’ll have. They are more likely to read, comment on, and share your articles via the social web. For this reason, you should consider adding your most popular posts to your email drip sequence.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reference them within your blog</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Are you cross-linking enough? When you are writing posts, you should consider linking back to your most popular posts. You should avoid shoving in links just to increase your traffic, but if it makes sense for your readers, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t link to your older posts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
When you are linking to your most popular posts, one thing you’ll want to avoid is using rich anchor text.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
For example, if you want one of your posts to rank for “online marketing,” you wouldn’t want to continually link to that post by using the phrase “online marketing.” Instead, you want to use phrases that are natural and make sense.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In addition to that, you can consider creating a “Get Started” page.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

The screenshot above is an example of a “Get Started” page on <a href="http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/passive-income-101/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Smart Passive Income</a>. These pages are extremely popular as long as you add them to your main blog navigation. Within that page, you should add links to your most popular posts.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1875rem; line-height: 1.375rem; margin: 2rem 0px 0.75rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Create a content gate</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
We did a test a few years ago on Kimberly Snyder’s recipe pages since they tended to be some of the most popular pages on her blog. We took <a href="http://kimberlysnyder.com/blog/ggs/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">this page and added a content gate</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

You were able to see the infographic above on that page, but the content below the infographic was blocked off unless you put in your email address. The website has been redesigned since, but the feature was effective while it was part of the page.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The page generated an extra 400 to 600 emails a day, and the bounce rate didn’t change at all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you are going to block off a portion of your content, make sure you give people an option to close the sign-up window and see the content without first providing an email address. This way, you won’t tick off your readers who aren’t immediately interested in opting in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

There is a reason why your most popular content is “popular.” <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Have you thought about repurposing it in different formats?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
We do this all the time at KISSmetrics by turning our best posts into infographics. Heck, we even take other people’s best posts and turn them into infographics.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
We took a few of <a href="http://danzarrella.com/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Dan Zarrella’s</a> posts that contained social media stats and turned them into three infographics.

What’s interesting is that our infographics probably received more traffic than his original posts. This not only shows you the power of infographics but also illustrates why you should consider repurposing your content in different formats. From infographics to YouTube videos and <a href="http://www.slideshare.com/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Slideshare presentations</a>, the possibilities are endless.</div>

I do this all the time with Quick Sprout by allowing Search Engine Journal to take posts from my blog, word for word. This benefits me because it drives more traffic back to my blog and brings in additional exposure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
When you republish your articles, make sure the blogs taking your content use a rel=canonical tag, which tells search engines that the original article was first published on your website.This way, you will transfer all search engine juice back to your site. If you don’t do this, you may lose <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2014/07/23/7-content-marketing-lessons-learned-from-losing-225418-visitors-a-month/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">225,418 visitors</a> like we did on the KISSmetrics blog.</div>

Extend your content</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Updating your content is good, but making your popular posts more in-depth is even better. There are a few reasons for this:</div>
<ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin: 0px 0px 1.6875rem 2rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Content that is 2,000 or more words tends to rank better than content that is only 500 or even 1,000 words. <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/12/20/the-science-behind-long-copy-how-more-content-increases-rankings-and-conversions/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">This article</a> talks about the fact that the average web page that ranks on page 1 of Google contains at least 2,000 words.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Have you noticed that there is a section on Google called “in-depth articles”? By increasing your word count, assuming you aren’t just word-stuffing, you are more likely to get mentioned in that section of the search results page. You can see how I <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2013/11/14/how-i-increased-my-search-engine-traffic-by-13-15-in-just-30-days-through-googles-in-depth-articles/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">increased my search traffic by 13.15% in 30 days</a> by leveraging this tip.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Adding long-tail keywords to your article can boost your rankings for new terms. You just have to make sure you are adding in more content as you add in more keywords. That way you can blend them in naturally. I was able to <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2015/01/21/how-to-increase-your-websites-traffic-without-any-marketing/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">increase my search traffic by 54,131 visitors by following the long tail steps in this blog post</a>.</li>

Adjust your post titles</h3>

Your post titles may be good, but why not make them great? Adjusting your titles can increase the number of people who click through to your site from search results pages.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
A few years ago, I used Webmaster Tools to analyze Quick Sprout in order to see what words and phrases cause the highest click-through rates. <a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2013/12/04/11-seo-changes-that-will-give-you-big-results/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">What I found was interesting</a>. The most clicked-through words tended to be:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this article I offer some tips for writing blog posts that are
geared up for search engine traffic, and that are written to be shared
in the social web. For the example, I will be walking through how I
create a real post for a high authority health web site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will also be creating a video to embed into the blog post, so I
will explain how I created the video, came up with the title for it, and
armed it for top results in the search engines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If following along, be sure that when you create a video and article
that they are able to stand alone as you never know how someone will be
absorbing your content. It might be that they aren’t watching the video
embedded within your post at all, but stand alone on YouTube or wherever
it is that you decide to host it.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Video</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watch over my shoulder as I perform the steps that I use to get blog posts and videos indexed by Google quickly</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s Use Google Suggest To Find A Good Topic For Our Blog Post</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We’ll use the long tail we find within our post title</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By default I head to Google.com to start, but if you are writing
content for a specific geographic audience like Canada for example, you
might want to go to the correct engine (Google.ca) because there will be
some differences in the results, even if they are just subtle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, you may want to disable the saving of search history for your
Google Account, or log out of Google completely, because the search
results may differ for you otherwise. We’ll be looking at top results to
do a quick glance at the competition. It’s not a huge deal but it’ll
help our testing to be a little more precise, but the truth is we are
not dealing with <em>exacts</em> anyway. In case you didn’t know, Google
will tailor your results (when search history is being saved), to show
sites that you frequent most in the top results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>1) First, let’s decide on roughly what we want to talk about in our post.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this example I am going to be providing a list and summary of
Facebook pages in the “raw food” niche. I’m not sure how many just yet,
maybe around 50, but I can work that part out later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>2) Next, let’s head to Google to see what people might be
searching for that would like to see that list. There might be some
deliberate searches for such a thing, but somehow I don’t think there
will be much. Let’s look anyway.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, there wasn’t a whole lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did find:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“raw food facebook pages”<br />
“raw food diet facebook”<br />
“raw food health facebook”<br />
“raw food on facebook”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also discoverd that commonly people might look for Facebook pages in this way:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“{topic-name} related facebook page”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, even though “raw food related facebook pages” isn’t rolling up,
it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t get traffic in the long or short term.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>3) Finally, let’s assess the results that come up for each phrase.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the search “raw food facebook pages” Google lists exactly what
you may (or may not) expect. It lists pages on Facebook related to “raw
food.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might think this removes the need for the content developer but I
wouldn’t agree. I think that a nice list with that title will still
climb above those results. It would be human edited instead of machine
selected after all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I looked through some of the other terms, and I decided to go for the first one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I am mainly looking for when assessing the results is if anyone has used that exact phrase in the title of their content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I will be using “raw food facebook pages” for the article, I
will probably be using “raw food diet facebook” for the video.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Creating A Blog Post Title Using Our Chosen Google Suggest Keyphrase</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make a title worth clicking and sharing</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OK, now with our chosen keyphrase in hand, let’s come up with a title.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The title is arguably the most important part of the content when it comes to getting clicks, SEO, and sharing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It becomes the starting point, or the “advertisement” for the content
piece when the snippet is viewed in the SERPS or after being shared on
social sites like Facebook. The title also often determines what is
included in other key SEO elements, which include the H1 tag and the
URL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
List posts are great, and they are often shared without hesitation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowing that, let’s create a “list post” style title from our chosen keyword.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s go with:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“50 Impactful Raw Food Facebook Pages Worth Liking”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And for the video:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“50 Big-Wheel Raw Food Diet Facebook Pages”</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Pay Attention To Some HTML Elements That Affect SEO</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OK, with the title aside (an element that I find incredibly
important), let’s take a look at some other important factors for SEO.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I personally don’t like shoehorning other keywords into the copy. If I
stumbled across some during the title research phase that would work
well for sub headings, then that’s one thing. To stress over getting a
bunch of keywords and phrases in the content, I don’t bother with that
for blog posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think that the keywords happen naturally with the writing. It’s
natural to mention related words while you are writing, isn’t it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But here is what I do pay attention to:</div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Use a version of your main keyphrase in the opening or introduction
paragraph. It may also make sense in some cases to use the exact phrase
in a sub heading or paragraph deeper within the article.</li>
<li>Separate sections of the article with H2 (or perhaps H3) heading tags.</li>
<li>Use strong and emphasis (em) tags throughout if it makes sense to.</li>
<li>Include an image within the content. The filename and alt text of the image are important.</li>
<li>Don’t be afraid to include links within the article. Links to
external high authority sites, more information links, internal links,
etc.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Make The Content Scannable With Info Packed Headlines</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many people like to just scan an article rather than read it all the
way through. This might be enough for them to decide if they want to
share the content or save it to read later. Also, they just may get
enough from the headlines to know they don’t need to read that
particular section.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having really good headlines makes the scanning process simple. The
headlines stand out. They should define the next block of content but
still provide value on their own. Don’t be afraid to use lengthy
headlines. They don’t always have to be short and sweet. Some people
disagree with me here but I might even use a full sentence or two in a
headline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, providing lots of whitespace or breaking up an article with
other elements like images and videos helps make the “job” of reading
seem less daunting. People can read lots of words fast, more than most
probably realize.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The problem is looking at a big wall or sea of text and feeling a
little anxiety about it. If it’s all broken up nicely, it makes for a
better, smoother read, and more likely for the person to stick around to
consume it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even one, two or there sentences in a paragraph works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this of course makes it even more important to separate chunks of content with great sub headings.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Offer Lots Of Value, Lots Of Content For List Posts, And Mention Others To Increase The Possibility Of Shares, Likes, And Saves</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This goes without saying by now. You need to provide the utmost value in every piece of content that you deliver.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Come at it like it’s your first day on the job and you want to impress and over deliver. Always overdeliver.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I set myself up with the task of finding 50 big-wheel or impactful
raw food Facebook pages. Why? Because people will want to save it for
later and share such a wonderful resource.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time I am mentioning (and linking to) others which would in turn might get them to link back or share the content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The folks that you mention can get alerted in various ways including:</div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Pingbacks and trackbacks – when linking from WordPress to WordPress for example</li>
<li>Google Alerts – anytime a name or phrase is found in Google SERPS a person can be alerted by email or other means</li>
<li>Traffic monitoring – a person may see the referral traffic in their logs or analytics from your content</li>
<li>@ mentions in Tweets – I use Paper.li to curate content and the tool
auto-tweets a link to the current edition and @ mentions the featured
content providers</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
A Few Tips For Ranking Videos – Use A Google Suggest Low Comp Long Tail In The Title And Description And Post To YouTube</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
YouTube video results often show up within regular results. I find
that most people will target YouTube Suggest terms for their videos if
they target any at all. And that’s fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do find there is a lot of overlap, but we can at least get some
love from the Google SERPS for our videos when using a Google Suggest
keyphrase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since YouTube is an authority site on the web, that is a strong SEO
factor in our favour out of the gate. So, using a low competiton term in
the title, in the description, and versions of it in the tags often
yields great ranking results, and sometimes within minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created a video the other day targeted to people looking for a
specific type of real estate property in a specific location. The video
ranked for the long tail 2 minutes later, probably sooner, it just took
me that long before I checked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, it used to make me cringe at the thought of creating videos, but
I knew how important they were (and are). I played around with Animoto
but that wasn’t as impactful as I hoped. I dabbled with on-screen videos
but that’s just not my thing, something I will revisit later. So, now I
create screencast videos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best of luck getting your content quickly ranked in the SERPS!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey there, Richard from richardsalingmarketing here again. So you
want to blog and tell the world what you think because you believe you
have a lot of value to share. That’s great. I imagine that you may want
people to find you in order to read what ya have to say right? There is a
lot to having a blog and getting it established. I hope you have tons
of time. I don’t even write as much as I should, which is about 20 posts
per month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through the years, I’ve learned a few things about online marketing
and driving traffic. What I do for businesses is a lot different than
what I do for my personal blog here. Mainly because of the resources and
available time involved to perform<strong> indepth SEO</strong>. There is more to it than just puting up great content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes it’s important to publish great content that adds value. That is
just a very small part of the formula though. There are the backlinks,
to and from other sites with domain authority. the syndication to the
various social networks to strengthen the <strong>social signal</strong> which Google likes. There is also the technique of building a <strong>PBN</strong> (Private Blog Network); which could be considered <strong>black hat</strong>.
Having a network and linking the sites together does not necessarily
violate search engine guidelines. It depends on why you’re linking the
sites together and if you’re using the links to influence search results
(i.e. increasing your <strong>pagerank</strong>). So here are a couple of things to think about to perform SEO on your blog that are strictly <strong>whitehat SEO</strong>.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Tag! You’re Not It</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Title Tags aren’t required in blogs as much as websites because
search engines already crawl the page and see the title of the blog and
you’re already ranking for the blog title. So you aren’t helping by
having a title tag repeated. You don’t need to rank for it more than
once.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keywords in Meta tags used to be important as search engines had less
ways to determine what a site is about. Now that technology is so
advanced, search engines have better ways of determining rankings and
relevance. I still like to put the keywords in there (for other search
engines) and do this by enabling ‘dynamic’ keywords with the All in One
SEO pack.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Getting Backlinks:</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won’t go into all of the ways that you can build links to your site
as there are some great articles out there on the web already, but I
will list some of my favorite methods:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Write Awesome Content</strong> – There’s nothing better than
writing an article that gets tons of links from relevant bloggers. If
you put enough work into your content and regularly engage with other
bloggers in the niche, they’re going to link to your posts.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Guest Posts</strong> – I really like links from guest posts
as they send traffic, they’re relevant, and you can usually customize
the anchor text of the link to be anything you want. If you want to
learn more about this method</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Collaborate</strong> – Collaborating with other influencers
in your niche is not only a great way to connect with more people, but
it’s also a good way to get people talking about you. Oftentimes when I
have interviewed people, they will link back to the interview from their
own site. I also see people doing group projects which involve over 20
people and then end up having them all promote the one resource. If you
can get other people involved, they’re going to help you spread the
word.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Link Out</strong> – When you link out, people link back. I
don’t recommend link exchanges or filling up your blog roll, but if you
find something on another site that your audience might enjoy, don’t be
afraid to share it. You never know, that big blog might just send their
5-figure audience your way.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Focus On a Keyphrase</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unless you’re really, heavily into branding, it’s a good idea to try
to optimize your site around a keyphrase that can send you search
traffic. Most blogs end up getting the majority of links to their
homepage, so it’s a good idea to try and leverage those links by getting
search engine rankings for a relevant phrase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, I’m aiming to rank for the phrase ‘online marketing
Scottsdale’. Although it is fairly competitive, it has a decent search
volume and it’s relevant to what this site is about: helping small and
medium size business get a better a ROI on social media and getting
found as well as matching the offline customer experience with the
message.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing to do to get found online is to find keywords that
have a high search volume as well as being relevant to your site. The
Google external keyword tool is a good place to start to see which
phrases are popular in your audience. Make sure you select ‘All
Countries and Territories’ on the left and then ‘Exact match’ on the
right hand side to get accurate results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However that is NOT the only tool you should be using in order to
find the best keyphrases for your WordPress Site. Here are 3 sites that
help you find what your competitors are using:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>keywordspy.com</li>
<li>keycompete.com</li>
<li>hexaTrack.com</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now use keyword research sites to expand your reach. If you intend on
using Google AdWords to drive traffic then these keywords will be
divided into your campaigns and adgroups. There are 3 other tools we can
use in order to expand lists even further into multiples of cities,
states, product names, artist, etc.</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>WordTracker.com</li>
<li>KeywordDiscovery.com</li>
<li>SpeedPPC.com</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have the keyphrases, you can use them in:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>The title tag for your homepage</li>
<li>The heading of your site</li>
<li>Your logo</li>
<li>As anchor text in links from other websites</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just don’t over do it. Google doesn’t like stuffed pages. A good rule
of thumb is approximately 20% of the article is filled with keywords
you are working to get ranked for. With that, stick around 3-4 keywords
so they have more weight and relevance in relating to a search query.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Index My Site With a SiteMap</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are running a new site or one with only a handful backlinks
pointing towards it, a sitemap can make a big difference in enabling
Google to discover and index all of the relevant pages on your website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In simple terms, a sitemap is simply a specifically formatted list of
the pages on your site that you would like to be indexed by the search
engines. You could create one manually if you like carrying out jobs
that can be automated with ease. Otherwise I have a couple of
suggestions:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google XML Sitemaps: with over ten million downloads and an average
rating of 4.7 out of 5, you can rest assured that this free plugin gets
the job done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WordPress SEO by Yoast: this free plugin has a number of SEO-related functions, one of which is an XML sitemap generator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process of building an updating a sitemap is almost entirely
automated. You set a few options as you see fit then let the plugin do
the rest. Google says that “[most] webmasters will benefit from sitemap
submission, and in no case will you be penalized for it.” With that in
mind, why wouldn’t you create a sitemap for your WordPress website?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That should be enough for now to get ya started. I’d love to read your </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because of this, SEO tools are an important part of any online
entrepreneur’s resource arsenal. Luckily, the internet abounds with
dozens upon dozens of SEO tools, covering a wide range of functions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below there is a list of 10 of the most popular SEO tools out there,
with explanations of how they can assist in your online business.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
1. MozBar</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="mozbar" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6511" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mozbar-seo-tools.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are interested in link building, then this is one of the most convenient browser extensions you can get. <a href="http://moz.com/tools/seo-toolbar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MozBar</a>
lists important SEO metrics for each web page you visit, including
domain authority, page authority, on-site HTML elements, and number of
backlinks. It also allows you to highlight the types of links you’re
interested in (dofollow, nofollow, internal, and external), as well as
determine the website’s location, based on its IP address.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of these features are available with the free version of MozBar.
For $99 per month, you can create a standard Moz PRO account, which
unlocks access to additional MozBar analytics features, but also to the
entire Moz toolkit, including a mentions tool, a rank tracking tool,
on-page keyword optimization, a keyword difficulty and SERP analysis
tool, and more.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Google Analytics</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="google analytics banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6512" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/google-analytics-banner.jpg" width="500" />an</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Currently, Google Analytics is the Internet’s top rated web analytics
and reporting service. For online marketers, it is an invaluable tool
that can be used to obtain detailed statistics about a website’s traffic
and its sources. This essentially helps publishers understand how
visitors are interacting with their website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google Analytics can identify where visitors come from, how long they
stay on a page, and what country they access the website from. Thanks
to its integration with Google AdWords, it can also track conversions;
and it’s e-commerce reports can track sales activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blogs and websites may share Google Analytics data with potential
advertisers to show how their website is performing and what kind of
audience it reaches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basic functionality is free, while <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/premium/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the premium version</a>
can be accessed for an annual fee. Google Analytics Premium offers the
chance to work directly with Google and obtain “enterprise-level data.”</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Copyscape</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="copyscape banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6513" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/copyscape-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.copyscape.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CopyScape</a>
is an online plagiarism checker and duplicate content detection service
that can be quite helpful if your content is being distributed across
the web.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Content owners and publishers can use this service to check whether
their content has been stolen and republished elsewhere on the web, or
whether old content is being repackaged and presented to them as
something unique and original. Copyscape functions by matching original
content with pages on the internet that contain similar text.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Copyscape also offers two premium services. Starting from $4.95 per
month, the Copysentry service monitors your pages and automatically
checks for copies once a week, while Copyscape Premium can perform
comprehensive plagiarism checkups for only 5c per search.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
4. SEER’s SEO Toolbox</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="seer banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6514" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/seer-seo-tools-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A free, <a href="http://www.seerinteractive.com/seo-toolbox/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">all-in-one toolbox</a>
based on SEER’s own in-house tools and designed to satisfy most SEO
needs, SEER Toolbox targets online marketers who lack the technical
know-how of seasoned programmers. Consequently, it works with
spreadsheets, not programming code, boasting that if you can use the SUM
() function, then you’ve got all the knowledge you need to excel (pun
intended).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With SEER toolbox, you can easily create mashups, get quick access to
relevant data ready for analysis, and better coordinate with your SEO
team, since everyone would be using the same tools. The “all-in-one”
function allows SEER toolbox to swiftly pull data from varied sources
(like Google Analytics, Twitter, SEOMoz, Majestic SEO and more).</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
5. SEOQuake</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="seoquake banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6515" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/seoquake-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to the MozBar, <a href="http://www.seoquake.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SEOQuake</a> is a free analytics browser extension with over 2 million downloads. Versions exist for <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seoquake-seo-extension/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Firefox</a>, Chrome, Opera and Safari.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Praised for the massive amounts of “raw data” it can deliver (more
than any other SEO toolbar available), SEOQuake keeps track of all
manner of relevant parameters, including Google Page Rank, Google Index,
Google Search information, Google Links (plus similar data for other
popular search engines), Alexa rank, keyword density, domain IP and page
source, but it also allows users to easily create their own parameters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With so many features and things to track, SEOQuake is great tool to
help you get a sense of how popular or useful a website is, often in a
single glance. If you’re a beginner, this toolbar is a great place to
start teaching yourself some SEO basics.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Klout</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="klout banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6516" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/klout-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://klout.com/home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This quirky app</a>
resorts to social media analytics to evaluate its users and measure
their online social influence. The app then assigns a numerical value to
that influence, called a “Klout score.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Klout draws data from Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn,
Foursquare, Wikipedia and Instagram to measure the size of a user’s
social media circle, as well as their ability to drive action via the
content they create.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It takes into account metrics such as retweets, follower counts,
likes, subscriptions and memberships, and uses them to calculate social
“outreach.” As a SEO tool, Klout can be used to measure your social
media presence, and to better understand how your audience is responding
to your content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although it is growing in popularity, Klout has also been criticized
for producing “Klout scores” which can’t accurately represent one’s
social influence. A famous example shows that according to Klout, US
president Barrack Obama is less influential than a number of bloggers.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
7. Ahrefs</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="ahref banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6517" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ahrefs-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Primarily useful for link research and link building, <a href="https://ahrefs.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ahrefs</a>
comes with a large index of links, detailed anchor text distribution
charts, and a user friendly interface to boot. The tool updates every 15
minutes, and can show backlinks, domains, and the best pages of a
domain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ahrefs can generate SEO reports that can help you spot mistakes in
titles, headers, meta descriptions or meta keywords; or find broken
pages and duplicate content. A mentions tracker allows you to keep an
eye on mentions of your brand or other relevant terms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While this is mostly a paid tool, some limited functionality is
offered for free (mostly as a free trial). Three paid subscription
levels are available: for a monthly fee of $79, the Professional package
can check up to 5000 backlinks per request; for $179, the Elite package
ramps that number up to 15,000; and for $499 per month, users can gain
access to an enterprise-tier package which displays a whopping 30,000
links per request.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
8. Majestic SEO</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="majestic seo banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6518" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/majesticseo-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.majesticseo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Majestic SEO</a>
is known for having one of the largest link intelligence databases on
the web, which makes it a great option for anyone interested in online
marketing and PR.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It offers a suite of useful competitive intelligence tools: a Site
Explorer which provides URL/domain summary data, a keyword checker, a
backlink history tool that shows the number of backlinks for a URL or
domain, webmaster tools to verify the ownership of your domain, a wide
range of standard and advanced reports, and much more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Free services are offered to individual users who want to get data
for the sites they own. Silver, Gold, and Platinum subscription levels
are marketed toward SEO professionals and SEO agencies, starting from
$29.99 per month, or $299.90 per year.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
9. Social Crawlytics</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="social crawlytics banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6519" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/socialcrawlytics-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a nice competitive research web-based tool that can help you <a href="https://socialcrawlytics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">keep track of your competitors’ most shared content</a>.
It can quickly scan URLs to show you where your competitors’ content is
being shared and promoted, and then compile useful social sharing
metrics. Its intuitive dashboard makes it very easy to monitor, schedule
and analyze those metrics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since this tool is free, you can jump right into using it if you have
a Twitter handle and a URL to search. After you’ve tweaked the
parameters of your search, all you have to do is provide an email
address and Social Crawlytics will send you the report once it is
compiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most interesting features of the Social Crawlytics report
is the Sunburst data graph, which “gives you a great visual view of how
your shares are split up when approaching from a search engine’s point
of view.”</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
10. Raven Tools</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="raventools banner" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6520" height="120" src="https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/raventools-banner.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This popular <a href="http://raventools.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">suite</a>
offers a classic lineup of SEO, content and research tools. Raven
addresses four main areas of interest for online entrepreneurs, namely
SEO, social media management, content marketing, and PPC management.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re confused about the myriad of SEO toolkits out there, Raven
is a great place to start because it offers a lot of features in one
place. Its SEO toolset alone contains over a dozen great resources.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, it features two time-saving tools: Site Finder – which
uses Bing data to quickly identify the best linking opportunities, and
Backlink Explorer – which pulls out all the backlinks for a URL or
domain (including nofollow links) and compiles a comprehensive report.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this is just a fraction of what the Raven software can do.
However, quality comes at a cost. While a 30-day trial is offered for
free, for $99 per month, you get unlimited access to the entire Raven
tools suite. A nice perk about this offer is that the price covers up to
four users, each with unique login credentials, which makes Raven a
good choice for a small SEO team.</div>

<span style="color: red;"><b>What is Robot.txt file? How to apply Robot.txt file on the server?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer : Robot is such a Technology that provides the permission to specially search engine robots on the webpage. I mean, Robot allow or disallow to hovering/crawling (searching) search engine robots on specific page you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suppose you want to crawl all the Page by search Engine robot then the Coding of robots.txt will be following</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
User-agent:*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It allow all access for robots on all page on your website</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suppose you wish that no any search engine robots crawl on your site because it is your private and secret Document on the website (Specially Any Company data based Website) then you should be use the following robot.txt coding</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
User-agent:*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow: /</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It prevents from robot to crawling on your all website page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now suppose you want to prevent to crawling specific page on your website then you should be use the following robots.txt coding</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
User-agent:*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow: /Contact-Us/ (Contact-Us is you Page Name)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you wish any other page also disallow (1,2 or more page)then you should be use the following Coding-</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
User-agent:*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow: /Contact-Us.html/</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow: /About-Us.html/</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow: /Blog.html/ </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(.html is extension of page, if your page has other the use your page like About.aspx, or About.php or so on)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note: It is Important that you have to use new line for disallow next page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is wrong method (Disallow: /Contact-Us/About-Us/Blog/) So don’t such coding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now if you wish to Only Google Search Engine Robots crawl on your Website then in this Condition you will have to Use Google Robots.txt coding like the following ;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
User-agent: Google</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disallow:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note: I want to tell you one thing that Each And Every Search Engine has own Robots coding so better is that you Search in Google for their coding.. You get more online website tool to generate robots.txt file for different Search Engine. So I am sorry here that I can’t write each robots.txt coding.</div>

Note : I will tell

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How should be content on the site?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer-
The content on the site is very useful for SEO point of view. The
content must be well describing the providing services with related
title. The content should be 500 to 600 worlds long and unique for the
website, it means you content should not copy to other website or any
articles. Google avoid this. If Google find the copy content on your
site then the crawler of the Google never visit again on your website.
So never copy the content from any sites. Write self description or you
can help form content developer for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The content should be
easy to understand to all, so that; all visitors understand well what to
telling you through your website. If the visitor finds their relative
searches and full fill all the solution of their problem then the
visitor again visit on your site for further information if they would
be need whenever. If the visitor comes on your site again- again on
your site then your site traffic increase and the page rank will
automatically increase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is Meta title?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First
of all to do SEO Meta title is very important for website. Title should
be 60 t0 70 char long. It should not be larger than it, because the
search engine stops searching after 70 char long title. The crawler
doesn’t go ahead form it. So we should express our wishing subject in 60
t0 70 char only. Too much short title is also not good for SEO point of
view. Suppose you are writing about the SEO Company in India that
provides the SEO service then the tile is suitable for it that SEO
service provider company in India. SEO Company, SEO India, India SEO
Company and company for SEO is not suitable for this. So take care of
this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
it implement in both palace either you use meta
title use in source code of website or write any article or Press
release or any description, so we take care of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is difference between title and keyword?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer-
As we know that keyword and title are different but we use usually
keyword as title. We can use keyword as title but keyword is smaller
than the title. We can say that title is used in two or more keywords
sense in a single title. Keyword may be one, two, three or more word
collection</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for example we explain above about SEO Company in India. One time more I want to say how to write you both. See example</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Title- SEO Service Provider Company in India, Company that provides SEO services in India.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keyword- SEO Service, SEO services, SEO Company, SEO Company in India.etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is different between Keyword and Tag?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer-
The tag is used for Common things. It contains whole meaning of Keyword
example- SEO Service, SEO, SEO Company. It meant the all SEO Company
in the World not in specific palace of any organization. But keyword
explains about specific palace thing or others. Example SEO company in
India, Top SEO Company in India, Service Provider.etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A little
difference in both but if we take care of it then we get more traffic
from Search engine. Some time we see on many article sites or Press
release site that ask some keyword and some ask keyword. So-</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What Is meta description?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer-
Meta description explain the keyword that what to say through keyword.
The Meta description should be 160 t0 175 char long. Meta description
should be containing whole meaning of the keyword.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the search
engine crawler come and read the title, keyword and description. These
days some specialist says that keyword and description does not affect
the page rank and search result. I think so because thousands of website
uses same keyword and description. Therefore the algorithm of the
search engine crawler is depend on other things of the site,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But
the SEO point of view and visitor point of view title keyword and the
description is necessary because the visitor will understand well about
your site through these. So write these three to well what about your
website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is heading Tag? Why is it necessary?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heading
Tag is very important for website. Keyword and title should be under
heading Tag. It is defined by <h1> </h1> to
<h6></h6> but <h1> and <h3> is most useful than
others. The crawler visits first on heading tag to finding the result.
So we should use this tag in our content source code.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is Geo Meta tag?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geo
Meta tag means Geographical Description about the website. It may
contain region, Palace, Position etc. By Geo Meta tag Search engine
understand where this service provided. So it is also an important for
SEO.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
What is Sitemap?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer – Many people has
defined it in his ways. I also describe as- Site map is a collection of
all links of website. In early days it help to visitor to find easy the
content in website but now days the search engine spider also visit on
sitemap. Search engine index your all link by sitemap. You must create
sitemap for you website. It helps too much in search ranking. You can
create it by many tools which is available free on the net. Search in
Google sitemap Creator then lots of tool address will available to
create it. After creation you can edit as you wish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
What is PPC ?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer-
Friend you always hear about ppc but unable to understand the real
meaning of it cause of hard meaning. so i clear you here very easily
way. so PPP stands for Pay per click. it meant The Google or other web
search engine provide some ads on the net. you always face the
advertisement related text or animated image. when you click on the
moving or blinking image the you go to the other site. which is any
business or any service provider site. because a link on that image or
animated text is available on that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We earn through the PPC.
suppose your website is very popular and thousand of visitor visit your
site daily and get useful things. Now you want to earn through the ppc..
then your should be registered on Google Ad-word service that provide
you add. Add is related to your website because any visitor click on
that image or text that is related to add. visitor click on that add
which is provided by Google.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suppose your site belong to mobile
company and Google porvide a add for any mobile such as Nokia mobile,
the visitor click on that add and go directly on Nokia mobile website
and buy the mobile phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now it means the visitor click on add through your site and buy the other product. It mean's you help the Nokia mobile company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They
you told that what is benefit for us of PPC. then i want to tell you
that The Google provide you the money on per click. if any visitor click
one time then the Google pay the money for one click. in this way
suppose thousand of visitor come on your site and click on that add.
then Google or advertisement provider website pay money directly on your
account. in this way your earn the money a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I think you understand well the meaning of PPC. if any confusion the contact me by mail or comment your wish.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
what is RSS</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answer
- RSS is just like a bookmarking but it is quite different form
bookmarking and directory. RSS stand for Really Simple Syndication or
Rich Site summary. first of all i want to tell you about it's benefit.
it is rally great ways to promote your site or blog. it is collection of
all social sites . if you update any news or article on your website or
blog then all the information automatically update and share link on
all over. if any visitor subscribed your RSS feed then if any thing you
change or update on your website or blog the they automatically get a
email about this, so the visitor go through the mail link on your
updated information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RSS is very useful for SEO. so create your RSS feed burner form Google search and create it.you can create form here <a data-mce-href="http://feedburner.google.com/" href="http://feedburner.google.com/">http://feedburner.google.com/.</a>
you give here all your information and after that you give your website
or blog URL for it and follow the next process. after
it's installation your updated information on your website or blog
automatically send the email to your subscribed user.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I
think it is good for website or blog promote, if you create once then
you can submit your RSS feed in many RSS submission sites.It is better
for bookmarking or directory because it is generated many links at one
time.. visit here for TOP RSS Submission Site list.</div>

in out site? so i want to clear you very easily way because you always
