Customize your 404 error page</strong>. Whether you like it or not people will get 404 errors on your website. Maybe they will misspell your URLs, maybe someone will link to an inexistent page inside your website, and so on. If you use a normal 404 error page, visitors will simply move on to another website. If you customize your 404 error page to include some useful links, however, you’ll channel these visitors to other parts of your site, thus increasing your traffic.<br /><br /> <strong>52. Interlink your pages</strong>. This strategy will increase your traffic in two ways. First of all it will allow your visitors to explore your website more easily, increasing the number of pages views per visit. Secondly, it will also improve your search rankings because your link juice will be distributed among all pages of your website.<br /><br /> <strong>53. Highlight your most popular content</strong>. People like to know “what is hot” when they are visiting a website. You can increase the number of page views you’ll get per visitor if you highlight your popular content and encourage them to read it. The easiest way to achieve this is to create a “Popular Articles” section on your sidebar.<br /><br /> <strong>54. Test your website in different browsers</strong>. If web users can’t visualize your website properly they’ll just move on to another site. That is why you need to make sure that your site works fine on the most popular browsers. There is an online service called <a href="http://www.browsershots.org/">Browsershots.org</a> that can help you with that, and it is completely free.<br /><br /> <strong>55. Speed up your website</strong>. There are many research papers confirming that most Internet users will only wait a couple of seconds for a web page to load. If it doesn’t, they will close it and move to another website. On top of that search engines also use the loading speed as a ranking factor, so the faster your site loads, the higher your search rankings. The first thing you should do to improve your loading speed is to remove unnecessary elements from your site and to reduce the size of your images. You can use the <a href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a> extension for Firefox to perform a more detailed analysis of your loading speed.<br /><br /> <strong>56. Serve cached pages</strong>. A very efficient way to improve the loading speed of your pages is to serve cached versions to your visitors. This will also reduce the load on your web server, and make your site more responsive. WordPress users can install a plugin called <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/">WP Super Cache</a> to achieve this.<br /><br /> <strong>57. Get a decent hosting plan</strong>. No matter how much your optimize your website, however, it will still load slowly if your hosting plan is mediocre to begin with. That is why you should stay away from free and cheap web hosts. Investment $10 per month to get a quality hosting plan is a must.<br /></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><h2 style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;">Search Engine Optimization</h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="seo picture" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/seo-picture.jpg" title="seo picture" height="150" width="253" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong>58. Create unique content</strong>. If you want to receive search engine traffic and only had time to work on one thing, you should work on creating unique content for your website. This is what Google and company values most. The more unique content you have, and the more frequently you publish new stuff, the better.<br /><br /> <strong>59. Build backlinks</strong>. The second most important thing you can do to improve your search rankings and receive organic traffic is to build backlinks. That is, you need to have as many websites linking to you as possible. The higher the quality and relevancy of these links, the better. If you have a tech blog, for example, getting a link from TechCrunch or some other authoritative tech site would do wonders to your SEO.<br /><br /> <strong>60. Perform keyword research</strong>. Search engines work around keywords, and if you understand the keywords that people use you can tailor your content to match that. For example, the term “funny pictures” is 15 times more searched than the term “funny images,” so you probably should use that in a post title . You can use the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal">Google AdWords Keyword Tool</a> to discover the search volume of any keyword.<br /><br /> <strong>61. Optimize your title tags</strong>. The title tag is the title of your pages. It goes inside the <title></title> tags in the header of your HTML code, and it is displayed on top of the browser when visiting your page. This is a very important on-page SEO factor. You should make sure that you have a unique title tag on each page of your site, and that your main keywords are present there. WordPress users can install the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/">All in One SEO Pack</a> plugin to achieve this automatically.<br /><br /> <strong>62. Build an HTML sitemap</strong>. An HTML sitemap is basically a page inside your website linking to all other pages (and preferably being linked from all other pages too). The HTML sitemap helps search engines to crawl and index your website, thus increasing your search rankings.<br /> <strong>63 Use images</strong>. Most webmasters forget that Google has a feature called “Image search,” which is quite popular. This means that by using images inside your pages you can increase the amount of search engine traffic you get. Just make sure to optimize the name of your images with relevant keywords, and always include an ALT and a TITLE attribute in your image tags. You can use the <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/">sxc.hu</a> website to find thousands of royalty free images to use on your website.<br /><br /> <strong>64. Translate your content</strong>. Depending on the topic of your website, translating your pages into other languages could multiply your search engine traffic. In order to achieve this you need a plugin that will get your translated pages indexed by search engines. WordPress users can use one called <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/global-translator/">Global Translator</a>.<br /></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><h2 style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;">Mobile</h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="mobile" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/mobile.jpg" title="mobile" height="179" width="250" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong>65. Create a mobile version of your website</strong>.

Create an Android app for your website</strong>. Google’s mobile operating system, called Android, is quickly catching up, so you could create a website app for it as well. You’ll need some coding knowledge for this though.<br /></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><h2 style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;">Online Forums</h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"> </span><div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="online-forums" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/online-forums.jpg" title="online-forums" height="161" width="250" /><strong><br /></strong><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>68.

Link to your articles from post threads</strong>. Apart from putting a link to your website in your signature, you can also link to your articles when writing forum posts. For example, if you just wrote a post that is useful to other forum members, you could start a thread letting them know about it, and asking for feedback. Just make sure to do this when your article is relevant, else you might get flagged as a spammer.<br /><br /> <strong>70. Join the Craigslist forums</strong>. If you browse on <a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites">Craigslist</a> (the most popular classifieds site on the web) you’ll notice that inside each city there is a “Discussion forums” section. You can write posts there, and include links to your website whenever relevant to the discussion.<br /><br /> <strong>71. Consider adding a Forum to your site</strong>.

A similar strategy is to use ad swaps. That is, you use your unused ad space to promote the website of your partner, and he does the same with his unused ad space. The ad itself could be anything, from a banner spot to an email message to your newsletter.<br /><br /> <strong>81. Distribute a press release</strong>. Creating and distributing a press release can still send some traffic to your website, especially if you have something new in your segment. You can pay companies like <a href="http://www.prweb.com/">PRWeb</a> to do most of the work for you, or you can submit the press release manually (<a href="http://www.avangate.com/articles/press-release-distribution_69.htm">here is a list with 50 sites</a> you can submit to).<br /><br /> <strong>82.

You can sponsor one by donating products or money, and the blogger will link to your website from the contest page. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>5. Join a blog carnival</strong>. Blog carnivals are online events where bloggers get together to write about one specific topic. The host of the carnival will them write a round-up post linking to all the participant entries, and participants usually link to each others’ entries as well. You can organize one with your friends, or browse for existing ones at <a href="http://blogcarnival.com/">BlogCarnival.com</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>6. Network, network, network</strong>. Ever heard the saying “it is not about what you know, but who you know”? It applies to promoting a website as well. If you become a friend with a blogger or website owner, he will be much more likely to link to your website and send traffic your way. A good way to achieve this is to link to other bloggers first and to establish a relationship via email. </div><h2 style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Subscribers</h2><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><a href="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/email-subscribers.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="email-subscribers" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/email-subscribers.jpg" title="email-subscribers" height="171" border="0" width="230" /></a><strong> </strong><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>7. Publish an RSS feed</strong>. Once you publish an RSS feed your visitors will be able to subscribe to your website using an RSS reader. After that whenever you publish new content they will receive it automatically, which is a great way to keep these visitors engaged with your content and visiting your website regularly. </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>8. Use Feedburner</strong>. If you want to get the most out of your RSS feed you should sign-up for a <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/">Feedburner</a> account. It is completely free, and you’ll get a wide range of features, including statistics about your subscribers, customization options and so on. Feedburner will also make your RSS feed compatible with most browsers and RSS readers, so you won’t lose any subscribers due to technical problems. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>9. Offer email subscriptions</strong>. Many Internet users still don’t use RSS, so offering an email subscription to your content is a must. Fortunately it is very easy to do this once you have a Feedburner account. You just need to activate this feature under “Publicize,” and then copy and paste the subscription link on your website. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>10. Create an email newsletter</strong>. You can take your email subscription option one step further and create an email newsletter. This will give you more control regarding the messages you send to your subscribers. For example, you could create an auto-responder sequence, sending specific messages at specific time intervals to your new subscribers. You’ll need an email marketing software to manage your newsletter, and you can use <a href="http://www.aweber.com/">Aweber</a> for that (it is a paid solution). </div><h2 style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Content is King</h2><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><img alt="writing content" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/writing-content.jpg" title="writing content" height="225" width="180" /><strong> </strong><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><strong>11. Break a news story</strong>. If your website is the first to talk about a news story it will receive many links from other sites who will cover it as well, and your traffic will increase as a result.<br /><br /><strong>12. Write a controversial article</strong>. If you manage to write something controversial, people will talk about and link to your article, either because they agree with you or, most likely, because they disagree. The result will be a lot of traffic.<br /><br /><strong>13. Write a “Top 10″ list</strong>. Internet users love “Top 10″ lists, because they are easy to digest and contain useful stuff (i.e., 10 resources, 10 tips, and so on).<br /><br /><strong>14. Write a “Top 100″ list</strong>. If “Top 10″ lists are good for traffic generation, “Top 100″ ones are great. This article is an example. People will bookmark and share your “Top 100″ list naturally because of the value it packs together.<br /><br /><strong>15. Write a “Definitive guide” to something</strong>. People love to learn new things, especially if such things will solve some of their problems. Make sure to make your guide as complete as possible, and visitors will flock to read it.<br /><br /><strong>16. Publish an interview</strong>. This strategy works even better if the interviewee has a blog or website, as he might link to the interview and send his readers to your site.<br /><br /><strong>17. Leverage holidays and seasonal events</strong>. You can drastically increase your traffic if you publish content related to big holidays and seasonal events. Examples include Christmas, elections, Olympic games, the World Cup and so on. <br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Linkbaits</h2><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="linkbait" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/linkbait.jpg" title="linkbait" height="166" width="250" /><strong> </strong><br /></div><strong>19. Create a quiz</strong>. People love quizzes, and if you create an interesting one your traffic might increase as visitors both take the quiz and share the results with their friends. You can use <a href="http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/">ProProfs.com</a> to create your quiz.<br /><br /><strong>19. Create a ranking of people</strong>. For example, publish a ranking with the “50 Hottest Female Entrepreneurs.” Such rankings tend to get a lot of traffic because it plays with people’s ego.<br /><br /><strong>20. Create a ranking of websites</strong>. A similar strategy is to create a ranking of websites, say the “25 Best Weight Loss Blogs.” The owners of the sites mentioned are likely to link to your article (especially if you contact them to let them know about it, thus sending your traffic.<br /><br /><strong>21. Publish a funny image</strong>. At the end of the day, people just want to have a good laugh. Publishing a funny image is a good way to help them with that, and it might increase your traffic at the same time. Want some inspiration? Check the <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/">Pics section</a> on Reddit.<br /><br /><strong>22. Create an infographic</strong>. If you are creative and like to research, then you should try creating infographics, as they tend to attract many links and traffic. <a href="http://spyrestudios.com/the-anatomy-of-an-infographic-5-steps-to-create-a-powerful-visual/">Here is a tutorial</a> that will help you to create one.<br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Freebies</h2><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="free" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/free.jpg" title="free" height="142" width="271" /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><strong>23. Release an eBook</strong>. This is one of the most efficient ways to generate traffic. Simply write a compelling eBook, and then release it on your website. Include a direct download link, and email bloggers and webmasters in your niche to let them know about it. The better the information in your eBook, the more people will share and recommend it, and the more traffic you’ll gain.<br /><br /><strong>24. Create a free CSS template</strong>. CSS templates are very popular around the web, and if you submit yours to CSS directories many people will end up using it. Include a footer link to your website and you’ll surely get some traffic.<br /><br /><strong>25. Create a free WordPress theme</strong>. You can also transform your CSS template into a WordPress theme (or create a new theme from scratch). WordPress is used by millions of users, and many people will download your theme if you submit it to directories (including the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/">Official Themes Directory</a>).<br /><br /><strong>26. Release a cheat sheet</strong>. Cheat sheets are very popular on the web, and if you create one you’ll certainly see a bump in the number of website visits. If you want to see some examples, <a href="http://www.petefreitag.com/item/455.cfm">check this article</a> listing 25 useful cheat sheets for web developers.<br /><br /><strong>27. Create web design resources</strong>. The web design community is one of the most active online, and creating resources for them is a good way to increase your traffic. Examples include icon sets, fonts, textures, Photoshop brushes and the like.<br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Contests</h2><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="contests" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/contests.jpg" title="contests" height="249" width="250" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong>28. Launch a retweet contest</strong>. You can launch a contest where people need to retweet the contest page in order to get an entry to the random draw. The prize can be either money or products and services from your sponsors. Depending on the size of your prize the retweets could go viral after a while.<br /><br /><strong>29. Launch a comment contest</strong>. An alternative contest format is to ask people to leave a comment on your contest post in order to get an entry. This will increase your traffic because your RSS and email subscribers will need to visit your website to leave a comment, and it will stimulate them to comment on your posts more often.<br /><br /><strong>30. Launch a review contest</strong>. If you want to increase your search rankings you could launch a contest where people need to write about the content in order to get an entry. The links you’ll get will send you both Google juice and new visitors. Keep in mind that you need a good prize to motivate people to write about your contest though.<br /><br /><strong>31. Launch a voting contest</strong>. You basically need to create a contest where the winner will be picked with a voting session. Suppose you have a fitness website. You could invite your readers to submit their best fitness tip, and then a voting session would decide which tip gets the prize. This would motivate participants to link to the voting session and to encourage their friends to visit your website and vote.<br /><br /><strong>32. Launch a traffic contest</strong>. If traffic is what you want, why not be direct about it? You can launch a contest where people need to send traffic to one particular page inside your website. It could be the contest page (for a viral effect) or a resource page (e.g., a page where you give away an ebook). After the established time frame (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month or anything else), you’ll simply need to check your web analytics to see which websites sent you more visitors, and then award the prizes.<br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Multimedia</h2><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="multimedia" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/multimedia.jpg" title="multimedia" height="211" width="246" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong><br />33 Experiment with video</strong>. As you probably heard, video is huge on the web right now. If you are not experimenting with it yet, you should. If you want to do something simple, just record yourself talking in front of the web cam (obviously what you are talking about should be interesting to your visitors, as opposed to some general rambling).<br /><br /><strong>34. Create screencasts</strong>. A very efficient way to create compelling videos is to record your computer screen while you perform some task. For instance, you could use it teach other people how to use the computer or how to do things on the Internet. You can use a free software called <a href="http://camstudio.org/">CamStudio</a> to create your screencasts.<br /><br /><strong>35. Submit your videos to multiple sites</strong>. Once you have your videos ready to go, you should spread them on as many video websites as possible, and not just on YouTube. Luckily there is a site that can help you do that without spending too much time at it. It is called <a href="http://www.tubemogul.com/">TubeMogul.com</a>, and it automates much of the submission process for you.<br /><br /><strong>36. Launch a podcast</strong>. This could be a good traffic generator for one main reason: there isn’t much competition out there as far as podcasts go. In other words, as long as you put some effort into it, your podcast could become the leader inside your niche quite fast. All you need is a USB microphone to start recording.<br /><br /><strong>37. Release audio interviews</strong>. We already mentioned that interviews are good for traffic. Apart from text interviews, however, you can also release audio interviews. Skype makes it really easy to record one. You’ll just need to use a software to record your Skype conversation. <a href="http://www.powergramo.com/">PowerGramo</a> has a free version that works well.<br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Social Bookmarking Sites</h2><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="social-boomarking-sites" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/social-boomarking-sites.jpg" title="social-boomarking-sites" height="172" width="220" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong>38. Get people to stumble your articles</strong>. If you have friends using <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">Stumble Upon</a>, ask them to stumble your best articles. This should get the ball rolling, and if other Stumble Upon users like your content it might receive a lot of traffic from it.<br /><br /><strong>39. Try to reach Digg’s front page</strong>. Reaching <a href="http://www.digg.com/">Digg</a>‘s front page is quite difficult, but it is worth a try, because once you manage it you’ll receive tens of thousands of visitors. You should start by becoming an active Digg user, trying to make as many friends as possible and to understand the kind of content that works there. Once you have these two things, get a friend to submit one of your best stories, and get your network of contacts to vote on it.<br /><br /><strong>40. Submit your content to Reddit</strong>. If you fail to get success with Digg, try <a href="http://www.reddit.com/">Reddit</a>. It works in a similar way, but it is smaller and has a more friendly community, so your content might do better there. Funny stuff, technology and politics are topics particularly suitable for the site.<br /><br /><strong>41. Get your visitors to bookmark your articles on Delicious</strong>. If you publish many how-to articles and tutorials, <a href="http://delicious.com/">Delicious</a> could be a good traffic generator for your website. Simply add a Delicious icon below your articles, try to get some friends to bookmark your articles as soon as they get published. If you get enough bookmarks in a short period of time your article might get promoted to Delicious front page.<br /><br /><strong>42. Include social bookmarking icons on your site</strong>. You can increase the number of votes and bookmarks you’ll get by including social bookmarking icons on your site. You can use <a href="http://www.social-bookmark-script.com/generator.htm">this generator</a> to create the icons automatically and paste the code on your website.<br /><br /><strong>43. Try niche social bookmarking sites</strong>. The four social bookmarking sites mentioned above are the largest ones on the web, but there is also a wide range of smaller, niche focused bookmarking sites that can send you some traffic. <a href="http://www.squareoak.com/blog/83-social-news-sites-categorized-by-niche/">Here is a list with 83 of them</a>. Simply join the ones related to your niche and check how much traffic they can send you.<br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Social Networks</h2><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><img alt="social networks picture" class="pino" src="http://www.howtomakeawebsite.net/wp-content/uploads/social-networks-picture.jpg" title="social networks picture" height="209" width="237" /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">44. Create a profile on most social networks</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. When you create a profile on a social network, you are usually able to include the URL of your website. Guess what? This is a link building opportunity, and it might increase your traffic (both because of the visitors you’ll get and because of the link juice). Mashable has a list with over </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://mashable.com/2007/10/23/social-networking-god/">350 social networks</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">, so use that to get started. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">45. Start using Facebook</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. If you want to generate social media traffic, you must have a presence on </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. The very least you should do is to create an account there and network with as many people as possible. After you’ll be able to generate traffic by posting links to your website on your Facebook stream. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">46. Create a Facebook fan page</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. Another great way to leverage Facebook is to create a Fan page. This is basically a page dedicated to your website, where your visitors can become fans, leave comments and so on. </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.techipedia.com/2009/create-facebook-page/">Here is a tutorial</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> to help you create your first Fan page. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">47. Include a Facebook “Like” button on your site</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. Facebook recently introduced the “Like” button, which you can embed on your site to let your users share your content through their Facebook accounts. Getting the button is just a matter of copying and pasting some lines of code. </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like">Here is the page</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> where you can get it. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">48. Start using Twitter</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. Another must have social network is </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. You can create an account for yourself, or one for your website directly, where you’ll post updates with links to your recent posts and related content from around the web. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">49. Include a Tweetmeme button on your site</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. By including a </span><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.tweetmeme.com/">Tweetmeme</a><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> button on your website you’ll allow your visitors to retweet your posts and pages with a single click, which can increase the traffic you’ll receive from Twitter. </span><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">50. Explore niche social networks</strong><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">. You problably won’t get as much traffic from niche social networks as you will from Facebook and Twitter. But you should still give them a shot, because the traffic will be much more targeted.

We’re working on a project to bring you a new and improved Google experience, and over the next few months, you’ll continue to see more updates to our look and feel. Even our classic homepage is getting a bit of a makeover:</div><div style="color: #20124d;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #20124d; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vDulkRLovJc/TgkrNLr0juI/AAAAAAAAINI/X55t6aowbe4/s1600/1sh-XXeO14DeTQS8ITF4pS_ILi41FAQM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vDulkRLovJc/TgkrNLr0juI/AAAAAAAAINI/X55t6aowbe4/1sh-XXeO14DeTQS8ITF4pS_ILi41FAQM.png" width="500" /></a></div><div style="color: #20124d; text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="color: #20124d; text-align: center;"><i>New Google homepage with a smaller logo and links moved to the top and bottom edges of the browser for a cleaner look</i></div><div style="color: #20124d;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; text-align: justify;">The way people use and experience the web is evolving, and our goal is to give you a more seamless and consistent online experience—one that works no matter which Google product you’re using or what device you’re using it on. The new Google experience that we’ve begun working toward is founded on three key design principles: focus, elasticity and effortlessness.</div><ul style="color: #20124d;"><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Focus:</b> Whether you’re searching, emailing or looking for a map, the only thing you should be concerned about is getting what you want. Our job is to provide the tools and features that will get you there quickly and easily. With the design changes in the coming weeks and months, we’re bringing forward the stuff that matters to you and getting all the other clutter out of your way. Even simple changes, like using bolder colors for actionable buttons or hiding navigation buttons until they’re actually needed, can help you better focus on only what you need at the moment.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Elasticity:</b> In the early days, there was pretty much just one way to use Google: on a desktop computer with an average-sized monitor. Over a decade later, all it takes is a look around one’s home or office at the various mobile devices, tablets, high-resolution monitors and TVs to see a plethora of ways to access the web. The new design will soon allow you to seamlessly transition from one device to another and have a consistent visual experience. We aim to bring you this flexibility without sacrificing style or usefulness.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Effortlessness:</b> Our design philosophy is to combine power with simplicity. We want to keep our look simple and clean, but behind the seemingly simple design, use new technologies like HTML5, WebGL and the latest, fastest browsers to make sure you have all the power of the web behind you.</li>
</ul><div style="color: #20124d; text-align: justify;">Constant revision and improvement is part of our overarching philosophy. For example, last year we introduced an <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/spring-metamorphosis-googles-new-look.html">updated look and feel</a> to our search results, and if you compare the original Google homepage to today’s version, you’ll see that a makeover every so often can certainly be refreshing:</div><div style="color: #20124d;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve been looking at Facebook comments lately and I think they’re great. There is one problem, though. As far as I can tell they’re not very SEO friendly.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So while Facebook comments are generally higher quality and less prone to trolling, they don’t offer much value to websites that leverage comments for SEO.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course it’s an interesting time for publishers as their platforms become more and more Facebook dependent. Most will confirm that referral traffic from Facebook continues to grow, so it makes sense to continue investing there. However, it’s still important to maintain some control over how <i>The Google</i> sees and processes your pages, and even more so if your content is the type that generates long comment threads. All those comments help to send a lot of good signals to <i>The Google;</i> all the right signals actually like relevancy, freshness, and perfect organic keywords.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Google likes signals.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="1" src="http://go.seomoz.org/aff_i?offer_id=1&aff_id=2280&url_id=2&file_id=9" width="1" /></span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I reached out to Facebook’s unofficial (?) SEO guy<a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/alexschultz" target="_blank"> Alex Schultz on Twitter</a> to ask about better SEO support for Facebook comments. I didn’t hear back, though. I was curious if they planned to address this issue in future iterations of their social plug-ins. Ideally they would offer a version of comments the bots could read well, along with some form of a permalink for each comment.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">At the same time I also wondered how <a href="http://disqus.com/" target="_blank">Disqus</a>, another large comment engine, handled this issue. Disqus CEO Daniel Hu <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/danielha/status/64743189805940737" target="_blank">confirmed via Twitter</a> that they serve up a plain-text version within an invisible DIV layer, which is something the Google-bot can easily crawl. Upon doing some test searches, this does appear to work well for most (but not all) sites using Disqus.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Google is never crazy about hidden text, but they do allow it in some cases where Javascript is used. It’s very important, however, that you show EXACTLY the same content a normal user would see. Obviously if you change or manipulate the content, Google takes issue with that. In the case of Facebook comments it might be best to simply render the comments as they appear through the Facebook APIs (minus some of the UI and buttons).</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, though, I’m not exactly sure what’s the best way to handle something like this. I thought it might help to get things started and publish some easy code to render Facebook comments in plain-text. From there I’m hoping others adapt the code and improve upon it. So down below you can download the code to get started or <a href="http://www.seanpercival.com/code/facebook-seo-comments.php">click here</a> to see it in action. If you load that page and view source you can see the comments rendered in a hidden DIV.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Publishers implement Facebook comments in many different ways. So I’m hoping to get feedback in the comments on whether this worked for you. Please let me know if it did, or if you find a better solution.</span></div><div style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

If you’ve logged in to Blogger at least one time since 2007, you won’t be affected and can disregard this message.)</span></i></div></blockquote><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a time early on in Blogger’s life where we had our own, custom account system for handling login authentication. Starting in 2006 all new Blogger accounts were created using the official Google accounts system, and then in 2007 we started the process of moving all of our legacy users over to the Google accounts system. </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, four years later, we’re finally at the home stretch of the transition. For a number of technical and operational reasons, we’ve decided to finally end our support for migrating legacy accounts and blogs after <a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2011/04/important-note-about-legacy-accounts.html">June 25th, 2011</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So if you have a Blogger account and haven’t logged in since 2007, you will lose access to the account and associated content permanently unless you update to the Google Account system before June 25th.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Updating to the new account system is easy and should take just a few minutes. We really do value all of the content that has been created on Blogger and we hope that as many people as possible will reclaim their blogs. If you’ve been avoiding this task for a while, we encourage you to head over to the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/legacy-claim.g">Legacy migration page</a> and update your account.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We’ll be sending a similar notice later this week via email to all of the email addresses associated with the legacy accounts we have in our database. In a few weeks we’ll also make another announcement here on Buzz, with more specific updates on the transition.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have any other questions about this process, please let us know by posting your issue in the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/legacy-claim.g">Login section of our Help Forum.</a></span><br />

All we tasted their wisdom to make it, but nobody is able to reproduce accurately. But how and to what is calculated based on our Page Rank.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span> </div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">It would be unfair to say that the Page Rank is calculated as the square root of the sum of the two sides squared. Obviously we define to Google, as an algorithm, even team is behind, because despite the magic that some believe that Google is sometimes do manually, the company philosophy to make sense of the information of millions of websites, can not be a manual task. So if we think of google algorithms, we can, as in every computer, do a little reverse engineering. So it is very important to know how google calculate page rank.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"><b>What variables in the calculation of Page Rank?</b></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">About a year ago there were those who held the idea that accumulate the highest number of links to your own web page made up the Page Rank. From a logical stand point, not a bad idea considering that the Page Rank in short, is nothing but a popularity rating. If our site gets many links means it’s very popular …. Right?</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">This proposal was not without foundation and it is true that Google is fairly supported this conclusion, so that webmasters began to realize that spamming, for thousands of sites became more popular your website, not only for users outside the advertised content, but Google itself, which felt deceived by these techniques greatly expanded to popular sites that did germinate links and more links for hundreds of public forums.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">After several updates Google reacted. And it is quite absurd to think that you can fool par excellence who defines the game, simply because what happens is that the end of each item is put new rules.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Google takes action and then determines what I call particularly the ‘quality of links’. If you look or use the Google webmaster tools http://www.google.com/webmasters can see how many links there to our website.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"><b>Why?</b></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Well the answer is simple. Not all the links on our site prove to be quality links to google and relevant to our site. When Google crawls the content of Web pages, ranks pages by their content, and is able to draw thematic relations. It would be very suspicious link from a website that offers sunglasses, as a web 100seotips because … .. What the link brings the user looking for sunglasses?</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Will this mean that the link is not relevant? Well actually it is. These links have no weight in the calculation of our Page Rank, they are simply discarded, but be careful, that does not mean that from that page of sunglasses, we can recover traffic. This does not mean that the link is useless, of course if it is, if the goal is to raise our Page Rank.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"><b>Can you give a link quality independently?</b></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">We can not really do have a quality link or not. That quality, in our bond, it is given by the environment, where it is located, which, beyond being a reference to our site, and what that entails, it is very unlikely to think that our Page Rank is being served from some special links we have defined.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">As I said a couple of times from this page, everything is much simpler than it seems. No magic. And if anyone thinks that what Google is unfair, that values, who is more unjust, and why.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">When Google gets an algorithm capable of providing quality links, that’s when it determines that a page can do inherit quality standard to the page referenced.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">This means that a page with Page Rank 6 can linker to another, barely relevant, and the second can of overnight, displayed as a page with Page Rank 4. Really a popularity rating of 4, is the right to a page that has just appeared as new in Google, and barely contained coverage?</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Following this has created a black market of companies that have dedicated themselves to promote traffic links. I’ll sell you my Page Rank 7 site with a link to that reaches your Page Rank 6. The Page Rank 6 reaches, using the same philosophy sell links on your page to give Page Rank 5 to other pages, and so on.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Logically, this deteriorates the philosophy of the concept of Page Rank, since pages completely unknown and with little relevance in the form of overnight, is positioned as popular websites, which is a lie, and use this privileged position to embezzle the concept and enriched by a hoax.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Google changes its algorithm again determines the link agreements, purchased, and misused, and decides to be ignored in its calculation of Page Rank. This means that thousands of web pages that were sustained with little <b>backlinks</b> to their sites, only with 2 or 3 links purchased from websites of high Page Rank, positions became ridiculous, completely destroying the roots, and at a stroke, with the companies had based their core business to speculate on a specific concept of Google, and was not intended that some were giving.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Now many will explain the reason for the delay in their Google Page Rank Update this last time. <b>Google</b> “was working on it!”</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"><b>And then now how is it going?</b></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Then at the end of all this discussion we return to the top, but not at the beginning of this document, but the first line of this blog. Internet appreciates good content as the best weapon to compete online. If your content is good and useful, users will tell Google, put in a good place, that this content interests me, serves me, and exactly what I’m looking for when I put these words in the search.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Today <b>Google</b> has an algorithm for calculating <b>Page Rank</b> highly compensated. On the one hand, valuing only what are quality links, and should be part of the equation, where they come and Page Rank are the pages that provide, and how the growing volume of these links.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: large;">Of course, “if the page grows in quality links, the page is <b>popular</b>.”</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Without a doubt, the most frequent post request I’ve had on this site is a post about link building. I rarely take requests, simply because people rarely know what they really want until you give it to them, but this time things are a little different.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, I have been studying SEO day and night since I was 16 (almost 5 years ago) and I’ve ranked on the first page of Google for some of the most competitive keyphrases in the world. Therefore, I like to think I know quite a bit about the topic and can provide some insights in this space.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who don’t know why links are important, let me just say that if you want to get traffic from the major search engines, they’re crucial. Links from other sites to your site are basically a ‘vote’ that tell search engines you are trusted and you are a good resource for whatever your content is about.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A large percentage of my income to affiliate sites is from traffic via Google, and the difference between ranking 2nd and ranking 1st can literally be thousands of dollars extra on my bottom line.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">SEO is generally divided into two parts: on-site optimisation and off-site optimisation. On-site is changes you make to the actual code of your website to help with rankings. In my guide on <a href="http://www.viperchill.com/wordpress-seo/">WordPress SEO</a> I gave a lot of tips on this that you can also apply to sites that aren’t running the CMS.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we’re going to look at the off-site side of things, which is building links.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>15 Ways to Build Links Your Site</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead of just telling you to <i>do this</i> or <i>do that</i> that many link building guides do, I also want to share a few principles that I believe are crucial in building a website that attracts thousands of high quality links. A few years ago you could take a robotic approach to SEO, but the web is now far too social to rely on old tactics to help your website rank higher.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Build a Site for People</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can’t remember who said this phrase but it’s one of my favourites: “<b>search engines follow people.</b>” Not only does following this motto steer you in the direction of build an honest, legitimate website, it’s also a very true way to get links to your site.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you noticed how Wikipedia absolutely dominates Google search results? I don’t believe they should be ranking for 50% of the phrases that they do, but Jimmy Wales built a site for people. It is a resource that millions of people naturally want to use, and because of that, people talk about them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For a lot of competitive keyphrases online you’ll also find popular blogs, forums and niche social networks ranking highly. If you can get enough real people to care about what you’re doing, then you can’t go far wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When people talk about you online, links follow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Utilise Guest Posting</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I talk about guest blogging a lot here but for good reason – it has lots of benefits. Not only does guest posting get you traffic from relevant websites, it’s also a great way to get links with custom anchor text around the keyphrases you want to rank for.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have written a massive guide to <a href="http://www.viperchill.com/guest-blogging/">guest blogging</a> that tells you more about the practice, so read that for a detailed guide on how to get links through this process. To explain how this works in the most basic of forms, when you write articles (for free) for another website, they’re happy to give you a backlink in the byline in return for your content.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Be Useful</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pretty much every legitimate site on the Internet serves some useful purpose to it’s users. Facebook lets you keep in touch with friends and family. Google lets you find awesome websites. Digg lets you find news that you know hundreds of other people recommend. Youtube provides educational value, entertainment, product reviews and much more.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These are some high profile examples, but there are literally millions of useful sites online. This blog helps people leave the rat race and make a living online. PluginID helped people be who they want to be and deal with the issues that come up on the path to get there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ask yourself whether your site is helping people to fill a need. If it’s not, then why should people care about you? This might not sound great but everyone active online in any space online is generally just thinking about what’s in it for them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you can give people what they want, you can receive what you want.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Check Competitors Backlinks</b></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I talk about competitors, I simply mean people trying to rank for the same keywords / phrases as you in Google. For example, this site is “trying” to rank for the phrase <i>viral marketing</i>. I put trying in quotes as I’m only implementing a small number of these strategies as I’m not too bothered about ranking.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If I wanted to find great sources of links though, I could simply see which sites are ranking well for the phrase and where their links are coming from. As an example, a site ranking 2nd for me right now is a page on Wilson Web. If I take that URL and do a link search in Yahoo (they shows more backlinks than Google) I can find link sources I can also use:</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="competitor-links" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1072" height="260" src="http://www.viperchill.com/images/competitor-links.jpg" title="competitor-links" width="510" /></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The operator I use in Yahoo is simply “link:<b>pageurl</b> -site:<b>domain.com</b>” (no quotes) obviously changing the parts in bold for the site that is actually ranking for your keyphrase.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Check your competitors to see if there are freely available link sources that you can also get for your own site. After all, if they’re helping that site rank, they’ll probably help you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Leave Blog Comments</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most blog comments are nofollowed (this means search engines aren’t supposed to give weight to the link, though I believe Yahoo and Bing still do) so they don’t provide much link juice directly. There is a resource for <a href="http://dofollowblogs.com/" target="_blank">dofollow blogs</a> where you can leave comments that give link weight, but many of them get spammed and there will only be a few that are relevant to your niche.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I like using blog comments as an <i>indirect</i> way to get links back to your site. For example, if I contact a big blogger out of the blue and ask them to link to my latest article, it’s probably not going to happen. Yet, if I’ve spent some time interacting with their community and leaving comments, it’s more likely that they will fulfil the request (as long as your resource is relevant, and awesome).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Blog comments also drive visitors to your site, which goes back to the point of search engines following people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Check Flippa Auctions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favourite ways to find awesome sources for links is to check the <a href="http://www.flippa.com/" target="_blank">Flippa</a> marketplace. Flippa is a place for people to buy and sell websites and has a very interactive community. Even if you’re not looking to buy or sell sites though, it can be a great way to find links.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you take the time to look around, you’ll find a number of repeat sellers who are selling websites that have ranked well in Google very quickly. In some cases, these sites are ranking for phrases that bring in thousands of dollars, just in a few short months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking at these sites and finding where their backlinks are coming from has provided me with a lot of easy-to-duplicate tactics and links that Google clearly love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Write Awesome Content</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A few years ago you could write an awesome post and it would receive hundreds of links. Look at the trackbacks on old Copyblogger or Steve Pavlina posts and you’ll see what I’m talking about. With the introduction of Twitter and sites like StumbleUpon, people are more inclined to ‘share’ sites, rather than link to them from their own blogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The amount of links you can get for awesome content has definitely decreased, but by no means has it stopped. My post on <a href="http://www.viperchill.com/wordpress-seo/">WordPress SEO</a> picked up a lot of blog links and is getting new ones all the time. My friend Danny also noticed the decrease in bloggers linking out and started a <a href="http://dannycooper.org/backlinks/" target="_blank">mini-campaign</a> about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Awesome” content means a lot of different things to different people. In terms of this site, it might be a great resource post. For a humor blog, it may be a funny image. For your Gadget blog, it may be announcing a new product before anyone else.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you know your niche well enough, you should know what people want.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Participate on Social Bookmarking Sites</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really don’t like this tactic if I’m honest, but I can’t deny that social bookmarking links are helping a number of my sites rank. Bookmarking sites like <a href="http://www.delicious.com/" target="_blank">Delicious</a> simply give people a place to store their favourite links an organisable archive, which is generally far more useful than your browsers bookmark bar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They’re also available from any computer anywhere in the world, so a lot of these sites have popped up due to their usefulness. Many of these sites offer dofollow links and custom anchor text, although they aren’t the best links in the world to pick up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can automate the process using something like <a href="http://www.bookmarkingdemon.com/" target="_blank">Bookmarking Demon</a> (<b>not</b> an affiliate link – none of those here) or you can even pay someone on Digitalpoint to submit to hundreds of sites manually.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To utilise this tactic in a more ethical manner, simply sign-up on a few sites you really want to use and bookmark your favourite links from around the web. Just don’t forget to link to your own site as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Add Links to Your Forum Signatures</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Unlike blogs where you get nofollow links for contributing to the discussion, most forums allow you to have a (followed) link in your signature, every time you make a post. If you’re already active on some communities online, see if you can put a link in your signature.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really don’t recommend you sign up on lots of sites just to get links, but if there are sites that you’re really interested in and want to participate, then link back to your site. Note that if you have 10,000 posts on a forum already and add a link there, that’s not going to be anywhere near as powerful as 10,000 links where each is from a different site.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s far better to have links from different domains, rather than lots from the same source.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Utilise Free Content Sites</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another link source that I don’t really love but I see doing well for a lot of sites is utilising free content sites like <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/" target="_blank">Squidoo</a>, <a href="http://www.gather.com/" target="_blank">Gather</a> and <a href="http://www.hubpages.com/" target="_blank">Hubpages</a>. These sites basically allow you to sign-up, write about whatever you please, and link to yourself however you want.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hubpages is very unpoliced and they’ll basically allow anything to stay on their site, but Squidoo (owned by Seth Godin) recently removed thousands of spammy pages from their site and are constantly policing them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are going to use sites like this, at least take the time to to create a good resource for users, rather than just throwing links to all of your sites in there. Not only will that make your link more valuable (more relelvant and on a page with lots of content) but its better for these communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use Article Directories</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A much better source of links if you want to receive them in return for your content is using article directories. There are a lot of awful, highly spammed directories out there, but there are definitely a few worth looking for.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My favourites include <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/" target="_blank">Ezine articles</a>, <a href="http://www.articledashboard.com/" target="_blank">Article Dashboard</a> and <a href="http://www.goarticles.com/" target="_blank">Go Articles</a>. Ezine and a number of other sites review articles manually first so you’re not going to be able to spam them (which you shouldn’t want to, anyway). However, if you write good content, or pay someone else to, then you can get a great link in return.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ezine is definitely the most trusted and you’ll actually find the page you write the article on can rank quite well, quite quickly. Once you’ve inserted your article content, you’re given the opportunity to fill in an <i>Author Box</i> and you can put your links in there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Collaborate with Influencers</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the most popular posts on PluginID were the ones where I collaborated with other influences in the personal development niche. Examples include the <a href="http://www.pluginid.com/ID/face-off/" target="_blank">Face-Off</a> series that I ran and times where I would <a href="http://www.pluginid.com/message-before-death/" target="_blank">ask the same question</a> to multiple people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If your idea is unique and interesting, you’ll find that the people involved are often happy to share the piece via social media sites and even link to it from their own blogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Interview Someone Important</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Similar to the last idea, interviewing someone in your industry or someone high profile is likely to get you a lot of attention. There are two ways to gain links via this method.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, you can interview people who you hope will link back to the interview from their own sites. Or, you can utilise your connections (or hustle, hard) and interview someone the average person couldn’t get to answer their questions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I personally tried to interview Eckhart Tolle (an author who has been featured on Oprah and sold millions of books) but didn’t get very far. If I had managed to land the interview though, I know a lot of people would have linked to it naturally.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Design a Unique,Beautiful Site</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many ways to have a good looking website. I personally like to buy templates from the likes of <a href="http://themeforest.net/" target="_blank">Theme Forest</a> and customise them heavily (like I did with ViperChill). You could also hire a designer like <a href="http://www.designbyreese.com/" target="_blank">Reese</a> to create something custom that looks amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have a beautiful site in place, there are literally thousands of link opportunities. “Where?” I hear you ask. “CSS and design directories”, is my answer. There are tons of sites which showcase beautiful designs and offer a link to the site so people can view the real thing, rather than a screenshot or thumbnail.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of these have a lot of authority in Google so if you want to find some, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=css+gallery&aq=f&aqi=&oq=" target="_blank">here’s a good place</a></span> to start.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Create a Great Resource</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a number of personal development bloggers giving sitewide (links from every page) links to PluginID because I created an amazing resource. That resource was a list of <a href="http://www.pluginid.com/personal-development/" target="_blank">top blogs in my industry</a>, but yours doesn’t have to be the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you create a free eBook that answers a need? What about a resource on 101 ways to do ‘X’? How about a list of other sites which offer great advice on a popular topic? <b>Think about something that you know your readers would want but would take a lot of work for you to put together</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>That’s the resource you should be creating.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What Not To Do</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that we’ve covered some of my favourite ways to get links to a site, I quickly want to run through some things you shouldn’t be doing. While search engines generally reward sites with a lot of links by giving them high rankings, there’s also a few things they don’t like.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remember: <b>search engines want to show the best results to their users</b>. If you’re manipulating link counts heavily and don’t really deserve to rank for your phrase, then they don’t want you to.</span></div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few things to watch out for:</span></div><ul style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Building Links too Fast</b> – Build links very quickly is usually unnatural. There may be times where write a post that gets hundreds of links overnight and that’s not going to penalise you, but just be careful about building too many links for your site as a whole. I’m not a search engine, so I can’t give exact numbers, but if you think you might be going a bit over the top, then you probably are.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Using Spammy Resources</b> – Not all links are created equal. It would be far more powerful for ViperChill to have a homepage link from Problogger than it would be to have a link from Hubpages or an automated link farm. You can’t control who links to you, but just be careful where you focus your link building time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Taking Part in Link Exchanges</b> – If you want to add sites to your blogroll or resources page then add them, but don’t just do it because people are linking to you. Link exchanges worked well about 2 years ago, but are a very dated technique that search engines are well aware of.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Building Links Around One Phrase</b> – You might have a phrase that you want to rank for and the best way to do that is to get links with that phrase as an anchor text, but only having links with that phrase is very unnatural. Most links help your rankings in general, so don’t be afraid to get links for different phrases or even your domain as a whole, like <a href="http://www.viperchill.com/">http://www.viperchill.com</a></span></li>
</ul><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have any of your own ways to build links that are working well, I would love to hear them in the comments.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181766915001698731.post-6496983503572099502011-03-13T15:58:00.002+08:002011-03-13T16:02:51.145+08:00How To Get Google Sitelinks For Your Blog?<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><tbody>

It's been few weeks since we got sitelinks from Google. I did not post about this stuff because no one exactly knows what should be done to get sitelinks for a particular site or blog. However, I would like to share my knowledge about sitelinks. Also, I 'm going to share few practices which may fetch you sitelinks. Interested to know what they are???</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=2181766915001698731" name="more"></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, what are Sitelinks? This is what Google defines about Sitelinks - "The links shown below some sites in our search results, called sitelinks, are meant to help users navigate your site." So, basically these links are aimed at improving a site's navigation. Still confused??? Then, have a look at the image below for better understanding.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0cQlJ6Uojhk/TXMjhZfzaKI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/9f4DnHTjF18/s1600/newbloggingtipz-sitelink.jpg" style="margin-left: 0.25em; margin-right: 0.25em;" target="_blank"><img alt="newbloggingtipz-sitelink" border="0" height="194" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0cQlJ6Uojhk/TXMjhZfzaKI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/9f4DnHTjF18/s400/newbloggingtipz-sitelink.jpg" title="newbloggingtipz-sitelink" width="400" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="note">METHODS TO GET SITELINKS</span></b></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although we do not know the exact algorithm that Google uses to create sitelinks, we can approximate and deduce few methods to yield these sitelinks. At least, if not for the sitelinks, I'm sure your website will rank better in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc...</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. <b>PROPER HIERARCHY AND TEXT LINKS:</b> Make sure your site has a clear hierarchy and text links. That is, create a site with proper CSS which utilizes the and tags primarily. Add background images and other styles using the the same. This is one main reason why Thesis Theme has been outstanding when it comes to SEO.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. <b>SIMPLE AND CLEAN NAVIGATION BAR:</b> Have a simple and clear navigation bar. Do not provide too many options for the readers. Get to know what the readers visit most frequently on your blog and put those labels/categories on the navigation bar. If your blog covers a variety of topics, then provide the reader with a second level menu.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. <b>UNIQUE TITLE:</b> Get an unique title for your blog. If you have a unique name, the click through rate for your blog will increase. If you have it common, then no matter what you do, the click through rates will not high. So, make sure your blog has gotta unique title.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4. <b>USEFUL CONTENT:</b> Provide content that interests the reader. Content is King. So, it's very important that you keep providing content that interests your reader and I suggest you to choose titles that are comment provoking. This will fetch you more comments and improve your blog's reputation, as well.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">5. <b>PROPER META TAGS:</b> Make sure you have proper META tags and titles that best fits the post. Although blogger does not support individual meta tags for each post, we can partially achieve it with a little bit of coding. Check out this article - <a href="http://www.newbloggingtipz.com/2010/10/add-meta-tags-to-each-blogger-post.html" target="_blank" title="Add META Tags To Each Blogger Posts">Add META Tags To Each Blogger Posts</a>. It is very important that the META tag on the home page is perfect.

</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just wanted to share my knowledge about sitelinks. May be if you have an idea about getting sitelinks in a much easier way, then let us know via comments. Your thoughts are always welcome.

US officials said the 8.8-magnitude quake struck about 250 miles (400km) from Tokyo at a depth of 20 miles. The stock market extended its losses after the quake was announced.<br />
<br />
<b>Japan's northeast Pacific</b> coast, called Sanriku, has suffered from quakes and tsunamis in the past and a 7.2 quake struck on Wednesday. In 1933, a magnitude 8.1 quake in the area killed more than 3,000 people. Last year fishing facilities were damaged after by a tsunami caused by a strong tremor in Chile.<br />

</div></div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-302683" height="266" src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/socialeyes-screenshot-3-e1298851943571.jpg?w=300&h=200" title="socialeyes-screenshot (3)" width="400" /> </div><div style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.socialeyes.com/">SocialEyes</a>, a new startup co-founded by RealNetworks chairman Rob Glaser, is launching today at DEMO with the promise of making video chat truly social by leveraging Facebook Connect. The San Francisco company is building a video messaging platform that tries to move beyond largely one-to-one or group chatting experiences and looks like something Facebook would make it if went after video chatting.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The service, which will live as its own site and as a Facebook application, allows users to carry on multiple chats throughout the day and lets people tap Facebook’s social graph for conversations. Users can pop in and out of individual chats or combine them together in group sessions called scrums. Users can also join or start their own private groups among friends or participate in public groups based around hobbies and interests. When users aren’t able to communicate in real-time via video chat or instant messaging, they can send video messages to friends. A record of a user’s communications is captured in a feed tab. Launched last year, SocialEyes has raised $5.1 million in an $600,000 angel round and a Series A led by Ignition Partners.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Co-founder and CEO Rob Williams, a Microsoft veteran who previously founded instant messaging start-up Avogadro, said the promise of SocialEyes is in its open style of communication, which reflects the way people interact and collaborate. He said building off Facebook’s social graph extends the reach of video chatting and makes it more personal. It’s a way to connect the virtual world with the real world, and Facebook is a good platform for face-to-face video chats because of its emphasis on using your real name and identity.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">“SocialEyes takes the social networking experience to the next level by enabling people to connect with their networks and meet interesting people who share common interests through face-to-face communication or via video messages,” said Williams. “We feel that this product will strengthen the social connections between people and their interaction with their networks.”</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The video chat space has gotten busy. Skype last year enabled group video chats, deep Facebook integration and mobile video conferencing. Apple earlier this month release a full version of FaceTime for the Mac. Other start-ups such as PalTalk have also tried to make video chatting more social with group conversations of up to 10 people.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The biggest name to watch is Facebook, which is likely to jump into the video chat space at some point. It recently upgraded its messaging system, and the next obvious step would be video chat, which could undercut services like SocialEyes and other apps built on Facebook. Video chatting can be intensely personal, but so far, its reach is limited by smaller networks and slower consumer adoption. Skype has shown some of the most success with video chat: about 40 percent of its calls are now video calls. But a native Facebook video conferencing feature could make the whole process of communicating through video more mainstream. Startups like SocialEyes are showing how video chat can be that much more social. Now we’ll see if Facebook is taking notes.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Although PageRank is just one factor in choosing what sites appear on a specific search, it is the main way that Google determines the "importance" of a website.<br />
<br />
In recent months, SEO specialists have become expert at manipulating PageRank, particularly through link exchanges.<br />
<br />
There is nothing wrong with links. They make the Web a web rather than a series of isolated islands. However, PageRank relies on the naturally "democratic" nature of the web, whereby webmasters link to sites they feel are important for their visitors. Google rightly sees link exchanges designed to boost PageRank as stuffing the ballot box.<br />
<br />
I was not surprised to see Google try to counter all the SEO efforts. In fact, I have been arguing the case with many non-believing SEO specialists over the past couple months. But I was surprised to see the clumsy way in which Google chose to do it.<br />
<br />
Google targeted specific search terms, including many of the most competitive and commercial terms. Many websites lost top positions in five or six terms, but maintain their positions in several others. This had never happened before. Give credit to Barry Lloyd of SearchEngineGuide.com for cleverly uncovering the process.<br />
<br />
For Google, this shakeup is just a temporary fix. It will have to make much bigger changes if it is serious about harnessing the "democratic" nature of the Web and neutralizing the artificial results of so many link exchanges.<br />
<br />
Here are a few techniques Google might use (remember to think like a search engine): </span></div><ol style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">Google might start valuing inbound links within paragraphs much higher than links that stand on their own. (For all we know, Google is already doing this.) Such links are much less likely to be the product of a link exchange, and therefore more likely to be genuine "democratic" votes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Google might look at the concentration of inbound links across a website. If most inbound links point to the home page, that is another possible indicator of a link exchange, or at least that the site's content is not important enough to draw inbound links (and it is content that Google wants to deliver to its searchers).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Google might take a sample of inbound links to a domain, and check to see how many are reciprocated back to the linking domains. If a high percentage are reciprocated, Google might reduce the site's PageRank accordingly. Or it might set a cut-point, dropping from its index any website with too many of its inbound links reciprocated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Google might start valuing outbound links more highly. Two pages with 100 inbound links are, in theory, valued equally, even if one has 20 outbound links and the other has none. But why should Google send its searchers down a dead-end street, when the information highway is paved just as smoothly on a major thoroughfare?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Google might weigh a website's outbound link concentration. A website with most outbound links concentrated on just a few pages is more likely to be a "link-exchanger" than a site with links spread out across its pages. </span></li>
</ol><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Google might use a combination of these techniques and ones not mentioned here. We cannot predict the exact algorithm, nor can we assume that it will remain constant. What we can do is to prepare our websites to look and act like a website would on a "democratic" Web as Google would see it.<br />
<br />
For Google to hold its own against upstart search engines, it must deliver on its PageRank promise. Its results reflect the "democratic" nature of the Web. Its algorithm must prod webmasters to give links on their own merit. That won't be easy or even completely possible. And people will always find ways to turn Google's algorithm to their advantage. But the techniques above can send the Internet a long way back to where Google promises it will be.<br />

</i></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Imagine the look on our faces when these pictures of a white second-generation iPad part landed in our inbox. Yes folks, it looks like the new iPad could come in white. That seems strange since Apple could not pull off an iPhone 4 with a white front, but I’m sure they figured out a way. Also, one of the reasons for the black frame that surrounds most of Apple’s displays is that it presents the image better visually. However, this image above, seems to refute all of that.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The piece that we have (from Shenzhen City), thanks to the folks at the iFixYouri iPhone repair</span> <span style="font-size: large;">shop, is the “digitizer” sometimes known as the the thick bezel.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">If you look closely at the back of the part, below, you will see the camera hole, which happens to fit perfectly with the iPad 2 screen protectors from our friends in Asia. This is in addition to the ambient light sensor found on the top of the first-generation iPad. We don’t know whether or not the new iPad will also come in a black finish but, we’ll surely know all come March 2nd. The iPad 2 is expected to be thinner, faster, sport cameras, and work on both GSM and CDMA networks.</span></span><br />

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Follow these <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">simple rules</span> for search engine optimization and your <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">blog</span> will rank much higher in Search Engines. </span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span id="more-195"></span></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </div><ol style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Use your primary <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">keyword</span> in your blog domain</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The first thing to do is to ensure that your <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">blogs</span> URL contains the primary keyword you want to optimize for. Using the targeted keyword in subdomains also helps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, if you want to start a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">HTML tutorial</span> site then the primary keyword you want your URL to contain is html. So choose a URL like www.htmlhelp.com. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can also use the keyword in subdomains like www.web-design.com/htmlhelp </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Use your primary keyphrase in the title of your posts</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">If your primary key phrase is html help make sure that the word html and help appear in your blog headers such as H1 and H2 tags as well as the title of each of your posts. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Use your secondary <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">keywords</span> in the body of your post</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">If you want to get listed for secondary keywords use them infrequently in the body of your post. The theory is that the more times a keyword appears within a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">Webpage</span>, the more relevant the page is likely to be for someone searching those keywords.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But do not overdo this by repeating the same keywords over and over again. Google bots can find out if a keyword is too frequent on a page and might just remove your site from their index. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Use your keywords in the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">anchor</span> text of links</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Use your primary and secondary keywords in the anchor text of links when linking to other blog posts or to other pages of your blog. Keyword in links have more importance than simple text. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Make sure search engines can spider your blog easily</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Make sure your navigation bar is present on all pages of your blog. Your previous posts or atleast the popular ones should be linked to all pages so they get spidered easily. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Get backlinks from other blogs</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">You need as many links as possible to link back to your posts or blog because it will help you build pagerank and get your blog to rank higher in search engines. The more links you have the higher your blog is ranked in <a href="http://www.technorati.com/">Technorati</a> helping your blog to be found easily.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So how do you get backlinks?</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">The first thing to do to get high-quality links is to submit your blog and RSS feed to blog search engines and directories. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Start by submitting your blog to all the directories listed on this page:<br />
<a href="http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/" title="Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites">http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/</a></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Link exchanging with other similarly-themed blogs will help you to form richly interlinked networks or communities. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If you find an interesting article on another blog, link to it generously. The trackback will become a link back to your blog. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Lastly posting legitimate comments in response to posts on other blogs will help you get backlinks. Regularly post legitimate comments in similarly-themed blogs with high traffic to get many backlinks.</span></li>
</ul></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Update your blog frequently</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Update your blog frequently using all the rules mentioned above and your blog will surely get top rankings in a short time. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Stick with your blog</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Once you start posting on your blog, stick with the same domain or you could end up losing a lot of your traffic and regular readers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also stick with the topic you selected for your blog. If it’s about pets don’t suddenly switch to another topic such as Gadget’s because you will loose traffic. </span></li>

Use keyword combination. If your website is related to travel in India, target it by "India Travel" not by India or by travel.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Use keyword suggestion tools to find the idea of appropriate keyword for a particular page. The popular keyword suggestion tools are google, keyword discovery, etc.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: large;">Use misspelled words in the page. If your one of the page is providing tour information on Taj Mahal then use "Tag Mahal" because people from outside India using it and will be beneficial for you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Title tag should not more than 5-15 words, description should be up to 200-225 words and keywords should not more than 150 words.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If you are using images then insert alt text relevant to the image name. Use short text and if possible use keyword in the alt text.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Use keyword in anchor text and it must be relevant text according to the page. Do not use text irrelevant to the page.</span></li>

</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You won't know if your SEO efforts are working unless you monitor your search standings. MarketingVox suggests that you keep an eye on your page rank with tools like Alexa and the Google toolbar.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's also important to check your referrer log regularly to track where your visitors are coming from and the search terms they're using to find your site, according to PC World.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Keywords, keywords, keywords!</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You should be conscious of placing appropriate keywords throughout every aspect of your site: your titles, content, URLs, and image names. Think about your keywords as search terms -- how would someone looking for information on this topic search for it?</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The title tag and page header are the two most important spots to put keywords, PC World notes.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">BEWARE: Putting ridiculous amounts of keywords on your site will get you labeled as a spammer, and search engine spiders are programmed to ignore sites guilty of "keyword-stuffing." Be strategic in your keyword use.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Link back to yourself</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is probably no more basic strategy for SEO than the integration of internal links into your site -- it is an easy way to boost traffic to individual pages, SEO Consult says.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You should make it standard to link back to your archives frequently when creating new content. MarketingVox advises that you also make the anchor text search-engine-friendly: "The more relevant words point to a page, the more likely that page is to appear in search results when users run a query with those terms."</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As with all other SEO approaches, be sure your links are appropriate, and be careful not to cross the line into excessive linking -- you don't want your visitors to get annoyed.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Create a sitemap</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Adding a site map -- a page listing and linking to all the other major pages on your site -- makes it easier for spiders to search your site.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The fewer clicks necessary to get to a page on your website, the better," advises MarketingVox.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Search-friendly URLs</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Make your URLs more search-engine-friendly by naming them with clear keywords.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">SEO Consult explains: "For instance, it’s easy to understand what ‘www.puppyfun.co.uk/puppyhealth/vitamins’ would contain. It’s less easy to understand if the in-house classification system of the business is used, for example ‘www.puppyfun.co.uk/11789/s201.htm’. A dynamic URL is similarly off-putting, even if it contains recognisable words: ‘www.puppyfun.co.uk/search/?s=”health”’.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Flash might look pretty, but it does nothing for your SEO. According to the Search Engine Journal, "Frames, Flash and AJAX all share a common problem – you can’t link to a single page... Don’t use Frames at all and use Flash and AJAX sparingly for best SEO results."</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"If you absolutely MUST have your main page as a splash page that is all Flash or one big image, place text and navigation links below the fold," the post continues.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Image descriptions</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Spiders can only search text, not text in your images -- which is why you need to make the words associated with your images as descriptive as possible.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Start with your image names: adding an "ALT" tag allows you to include a keyword-rich description for every image on your site. Perfect Optimization explains an easy way to do this.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The visible text around your images is valuable for SEO: MarketPosition suggests adding captions to all your pictures and being descriptive with the text in immediate physical proximity to your images.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONTENT</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your content needs to be fresh -- updating regularly and often is crucial for increasing traffic.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The best sites for users, and consequently for search engines, are full of oft-updated, useful information about a given service, product, topic or discipline," MarketingVox explains.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One way to ensure that your site gets new content on a frequent basis is to integrate a blog. "Get the owner or CEO blogging. It’s priceless!" the Search Engine Journal suggests. An executive blog is an excellent way to reach out to your clients, create more opportunities for internal and external linking, while giving your site a more personal voice.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Social media distribution</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A CEO blog is just one element of social media distribution, an important SEO strategy according to SEO Consult. You should be distributing links to fresh content on your site across appropriate social networking platforms.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whether displayed on your company's account, or recommended, re-tweeted, and re-distributed by someone else, this strategy exponentially muliplies the number of places where visitors will view your links.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Link to others</b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An easy way to direct more traffic to your site is by developing relationships with other sites.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">PC World suggests that you personally ask the webmasters of well-respected sites if they'll include a link to your site on theirs. Be sure to return the favor -- then everyone wins!</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Make certain that your partner has a good web-reputation, of course. MarketingVox warns against getting tied to a "link farm" whose bad SEO habits could bring you down.</span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
