Top Commentators : Way for your blog to top by getting tons of traffic

May 14, 2009 · Posted in Blogging, General, Link Building, Traffic Generation · 33 Comments 

Once again I am getting some time for blogging and writing this post. Are you confused by title? Its straight and simple. Most of the players in blogosphere are looking for traffic to their blogs. Also they are interested in the audience of biggies visit their blogs and look at the precious efforts done by them. How can you easily achieve that? The title of this post says it all.

There are biggies like shoemoney.com, johnchow.com and many others who are providing the “Top Commentators” section on their blogs. This portion of the blog shows the highest commentator link with the anchor text. So now if you are present in this section you will get attention from all the visitors visiting this blog as your presence is on the home page of the blog. Also there are so many blogs like johnchow.com who have this section as do-follow list. So if you are into that section you are getting a backlink from a very popular blog. This way it also help you to increase credibility of your blog to search engines. The more you comment the more your chances to get visitors from the commented blog.

You can also put the “Top Commentator” section to your blog. You would say what is the benefit of that? Simple, Once a commentator sees this section he always wants to be a part of it and he start commenting on your blog. Now as competition to be listed to this section increases you will get lots and lots of comments written on your posts. So this way you can make your blog popular as well as traffic to your blog increases.

As always these are my own views. Your comments are always welcome! Also you can follow my updates on twitter .

Link Building and SEO mistakes you must avoid

December 10, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Internet Marketing, Link Building, Traffic Generation · 6 Comments 
Hey Readers, First of all I would like to thank you for showing this much interest in my posts. Here I am with another post as per my knowledge.
 
Many of us (including me) are sometimes doing some silly mistakes which disturbs google and it refuses some of our pages from its index.
So from my experiene here I am listing some mistakes that you should avoid.
 
Link Building Mistakes you should avoid
 
  • Avoid link exchange with bad neighbourhood. Because as per google, your PR is also depending on your link with your neighbour. So always be careful for what you are linking and where you are linked.
  • Do not waste your efforts in automated link submission. It will never work. So better put your efforts in genuine link building.
  • Always be careful when you put reciprocal link on your blog. As I described in my previous post it may harm your pages’ PR.
  • Dont ever think of spamming. I can assure you that by spamming google will kick you out soon from its index.
  • Be careful while you buy a link. Do not buy link for 1 or 2 months, buy a link atleast for 6 months or 1 year that will surely help you. Also do some analysis that is it surely going to profit your PR? If the answer is above 70% (my view) then you can surely go for that. :)
 
SEO Mistakes you should avoid
 
  • Do not waste time in researching the Meta tags. Just put few basic meta tags which indicated the interest of your blog.
  • Do not forget to put title and description for all the pages of your blog. Title is the most important element of your page as it is the first thing seen by the google when it crawls the page. Always give unique title to the page, dont just copy and paste. ;)
  • Never change the title of the pages which are already doing well in google. One time I did it for my one of the best performing page and I swear I suffered like anything to get that page back in the same position.
  • Avoid so many useless links on the page. As I have described earlier they are going to take some share from your PR.
  • Also make sure that you nofollow login, registration pages as well as header and footer links.
  • Always do proper formatting of the content. Try to use strong or italic tags as and when needed for content to look better. Search engines also consider this.
  • Try to avoid excessive use of ajax, javascript and flash for any kind of content display. Yes you can give facility to the users using these things but dont involve them with content of your blog.
 
Above are my views as per my experience. Please do not hasitate to share your views.

What is better? : Reciprocal Link or Backlink?

October 16, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, General, Link Building, Traffic Generation · 11 Comments 
Many of my readers who are little new to blogging world asked me a very important question. “What is better? Reciprocal Link or Backlink?”. Yes this is really an interesting question and before giving an answer to this question lets first see the difference between reciprocal link and backlink.
 
Reciprocal Link : These links are two way. That means your link on some blog in return to that blog’s link on your blog.
 
Backlink : Backlink is the link on the other blog pointing to your blog. It can be reciprocal or one way link.
 
Now the answer to the question:
 
In my opinion I would prefer a backlink instead of reciprocal. (Yes, I would never ignore the good reciprocal link.)
Let say if my blog has a page with PR3 and i have 1 link of other page of my blog on this page. So my current page’s PR is now transferable to the link of other page.
 
So that link will get 100% of the transferrable PR. Now let say if I put one reciprocal link on the page with PR3, so now there are 2 links on that page and the transferable PR will be shared among those two. So now both have 50% share in the transferable PR. And I am loosing the share of 50%. Here note that you have not altered your share it is grabbed by some other link.
 
So what I suggest is if you are offered a one way link and a reciprocal link go for a one way link. Yes you can also go for a reciprocal link if it is really a good reciprocal.
 
Do not hessitate to share your views on this and also correct me if I am wrong somewhere.

Google adsense tips for blogs – Make money using Adsense

Many of the bloggers are using google adsense to monetize their blogs. There are some new users who are using adsense, but they are not earning effectively from the adsense. So after using adsense for some time they just remove adsense from their blogs and try to find out other similar programs. Though there are some good alternatives to Google adsense, I would suggest bloggers not to leave adsense as if you have good and unique content on your blog, adsense will definitely give you great rewards. Here are some tips to get maximum from adsense in your blog.
 
 
 
  • Unique Content – In this matter I would say “Unique content is the key to success”. Always try to put unique content on your blog. Never copy from others. By Creating unique content for your blog you will surely see an increase in earnings from adsense as well as from any other alternative you are using. This will also help you to rank well in the search engines.

 

  • Concentrate on Niche – When you plan to create a blog, first decide the niche in which you have expertise or you can write on different topics. Be sure that you don’t diverse from your original niche. Try to make your blog an authority blog in selected niche.

 

  • Regular updates – This is where generally bloggers lack. It happens to me also that what should I write every day? and I also find it difficult to find good and unique content regularly. But this is the basic need to get success and earn more money online from blogging.

 

  • Keyword research – I have found so many bloggers searching high paying keywords. I don’t think this will work in much effective way. What I believe and I suggest is try to make your blog authority for the niche you have selected. If you have not done so and you compete with some highly competitive keywords then there are fewer chances to compete with them. So try to build an authority blog in your niche.

 

  • Link Building – Link building affects most of the areas of successful Blogging. Try to build back links for your blog by registering your blog to different social bookmarking sites. Submit your blog to different blog directories. Find similar bloggers who are writing on the same or similar niche and exchange links with them. Good link building will surely give you long term profit from google adsense.
 
These tips are based on my own experience and some tips I have found while searching the internet. There are some major points which I never forget to follow whenever I create a new blog or even updating an existing blog.
I believe that these are the most basic things to do to make your blog popular and monetize it from Google Adsense in better manner. If you have any other great tips please share with me.
