Using Very Simple SEO Tricks

Using Very Simple SEO Tricks

by Hass67

Search engine optimization (SEO) is thought to be tough, difficult and time consuming by many. In this article, you can learn a few very simple SEO tricks that work very well on Google. Use these tricks to get your blog post ranked for a particular keyword.

If that keyword has 50-100 searches daily that means a good traffic to your blog daily. Using these simple tricks, many of my blog posts have top ranking for a number of keywords on Google. This gives my blog lots of traffic.

But before these trick starts working, you need to have at least 50 posts on your blog. Once your blog post reach more than 50, Google will start considering you a serious blogger.

Google likes fresh content. Since blogs provide fresh content to Google on daily basis. Google indexes blog posts much faster than webpages. If you are posting at least once everyday, your blog will get priority with Googlebot and it will index the post (in most cases) in 15 minutes.

Choose a keyword that you want to get your blog post ranked before writing the post. It is very important that you use that keyword in the title of that post.

The first sentence of the post should contain that keyword. Use that keyword in the post a number of times. But the keyword density should not be more than 4% in the content.

Use that keyword as anchor text for a link three or four times in the post. Bold the link. Use the keyword in the URL of that post like http:// www. Yourdomain.com/keyword, you can easily do this in both wordpress and blogger.

In case of blogger, you cannot change the URL of the post after you have published the post. So use the keyword in the title. Publish the post. Edit and change the title again if you want. But it should still contain the keyword.

This way you are telling Google; hey this is the keyword for this post. I have used these simple tricks for getting top ranking for keywords having 100,000 to 1000,000 competing webpages. - 20490

A Simple Explanation Of RSS

A Simple Explanation Of RSS

by Samo Yanezic

When someone asks you to explain how RSS feeds work, how do you respond? Perhaps you fumble about, unsure, you may even try to flub it a bit to look like you understand ti completely. Maybe you just go directly to a web site that will give you the definition. Whatever the case, if you find it difficult to explain RSS feeds easily, you may not be able to explain it thoroughly.

If you are like many of the people on the net today, you are trying to attract attention to get hits, visitors or sales. The fact of the matter is, you are not going to attract that attention unless you have set up an RSS feed. Let's take a moment and review what an RSS feed can actually do for you. Once you realize it's benefits, you till see that it is a very easy and basic method of drawing visitors to your site.

The first step that should come to mind when you want to explain RSS feeds is that you should know what they stand for. It is nothing very complicated; RSS is just short for Really Simple Syndication.

Syndication, in this case, refers to taking media that you have made and making it more accessible in various different avenues. This doesn't necessarily mean a change in media, though it can. One example of syndication is what happens to comics in the paper; comics that are run by more than one paper are thought to be syndicated, and with that in mind, you'll find that your work can be as well.

Now that the term RSS feed has been defined, the next logical question would pertain to its relevance. Actually, RSS feeds have only gained importance over the last few years. As the internet has grown and matured, more and more people have created blogs and media sites. These sites are updated and checked on a regular basis, often daily. Many people have several sites that they manage, so webmasters are seeking ways to attract traffic to their sites, with as little pointing and clicking as possible.

Many people prefer the simple, the easy. They want one stop shopping and they really want it delivered to their doorstep. It is this desire that should be conveyed to new web marketers when touting the benefits of RSS feeds.

When you make your products available via RSS feeds, that means that you have given your readers instant access to every new product that you create. Those products are traveling straight to their reading list where they can check it out over their morning coffee if they like. Forget sending them reminders to click on your site, they just have to open their page and, bam! There it is, ready for them. It couldn't be much easier.

They will get it mixed up with other things that they are interested in, and essentially, you are going to be a part of their morning routine. Take some time and really consider what your options are going to be and what you need to know to make the most of this.

When you are looking at getting your own RSS feed set up, you'll find that it is quite easy. For instance, are you in a place where you already post to an online blog like MySpace or Blogspot? If you do, this there is probably an automatic way to set up an RSS feed.

Take some time and make sure that you know what RSS is, and why it is important for you to take advantage of it. - 20490

Advantages of RSS Sites

RSS - or what is now known as "Really Simple Syndication" - is a file format that is incorporated by Internet users in their websites to allow for 'web syndication', making their web content available in a format that can be universally understood by other people.

 

In essence, RSS is a 'mini database' that contains headlines and descriptions (a summary or a line or two of the full article) of your web content, including hyperlinks that enable users to link back to the full article of their choice.

 

RSS websites - that is, websites that contain RSS 'feeds' (articles or postings) - typically have colorful graphics to indicate to users that the specific web content is available through RSS feeds. These graphics are usually depicted by orange rectangles that are usually marked with 'RSS' or 'XML'.

 

With its increased popularity, RSS is now being adopted and used by more website owners or publishers. Today, numerous resources are now available that aid Internet surfers (and even beginners as well) on how to set up and use RSS.

 

Setting up RSS feeds and adding them to your website can be a simple process that does not involve a lot of time or any money. Listed below are some simple and basic steps that you might want to follow:

 

1. Have your web content and/or news in an RSS feed format, such as XML (appropriate and 'ready-made' feeds are also available from other sources).

 

2. Click the orange graphic - this is the RSS feed icon. Take note of the URL of the RSS feed; this will be displayed in the address bar (for Internet Explorer).

 

3. Input the feed URL on your RSS feed creation program.

 

4. Click on the "Generate Feed" button. This will generate the RSS code for your web content.

 

5. Enter the RSS code in the appropriate place on your own website.

 

Having created an RSS feed for your website, next comes the task of publishing your web content and news and having them displayed on other sites and headline viewers. This is made possible with the use of RSS readers or aggregators.

 

RSS readers or news aggregators are used to view particular web contents. RSS readers contain the collection of 'feeds' or RSS files from content providers, and they are generally classified into 3 types:

 

·           Desktop RSS readers - also known as standalone desktop application, they generally 'run' in the background and are similar to an e-mail client, collecting the feeds and refreshing items automatically as they are updated.

 

·           Web-based aggregators - these are online services that enable users to personalize web pages, refreshing them each time the page is accessed or each time a person logs in to the service.

 

·           Plug-in aggregators/readers - these make use of either web browsers or e-mail clients, which allow users to view RSS feeds while inside an existing program.

 

Having an RSS-enabled website provides Internet users (especially those who are website owners) with the following benefits:

 

·           Allows users to generate up-to-date news and postings, as information and content in the RSS readers or aggregators are automatically updated each time the RSS feed is 'refreshed'.

 

·           Allows users to have control over the information that they wish to view or receive, as they can remove a feed of their choosing any time they want to.

 

Aside from these benefits, RSS websites are also useful for people who conduct their business in the Internet, particularly in Internet or Online Marketing. RSS can be an effective marketing tool for your website, especially in the following fields:

 

·           E-mail marketing and publishing

·           Search engine marketing and optimization

·           Business blogging

·           Internet advertising

·           Digital public relations

·           Branding and e-commerce

 

In addition, RSS can 'power' your website, providing you with the following:

 

·           Valuable, updated, and relevant resources for site visitors and potential clients - RSS is ideal for websites that contain (and syndicate) a lot of information that has to be changed or updated regularly.

 

·           Search engine optimization for the website.

 

·           Increased traffic for the website - your website can 'harvest' and display information from other sites, driving more traffic to your own website.

 

·           A wide selection of 'channels' for content distribution, such as PDA's, cellular phones, voice mails, and email ticklers.

 

·           A reliable way to have your web content delivered to Internet users and potential clients - RSS ensures that your site is viewed by the people who are interested in them, without having them blocked and 'cleaned' by ISPs or Spam filters.

 

These are just some of the advantages that RSS can give your website (and your business). The possibilities are endless, as more and more comes up almost everyday. Do not be left behind - take the advantage of the marketing and publishing power of RSS.
