You Have A Blog!!! Want To Earn? Part 1
Posted in Affiliate Programs, How To Earn From Blogs by: ChetanA Few Affiliate Programs that can be make up a good income for those who have blogs and not depend on websites.
First Of All : Amazon ads in our blogs can generate good revenue.
This is what Amazon says :
“”AmazonAds is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display Amazon unobtrusive product ads on their website’s content pages and earn money.
The ads can be categorized by Channels (Products Category) and so you can display only “Electronics” or “Books” ad and so are always related to what you want your users to looking for on your site. You’ll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages. AmazonAds is the program that can give you amazon product revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.”"
Internal Linking Boost Search Engine Rankings?
Posted in SEO For Blogs by: ChetanOnce again Darren’s Problogger article gave this good tips about internal linking :
The advice is good - and can basically be summed up as follows:
Internal links within your blog are good for a number of reasons:
- Firstly they help your readers navigate around your site. A well thought out menu or relevant links within your posts to other post on a similar topic will help you retain your reader for longer and send them deeper within your site.
- They help Search Engine’s robots to navigate your site and hopefully to get every possible page indexed. If you have a site map page or an archives page that links to every page on your blog this helps the SE’s robots index you more comprehensively.
- It seems that most Search Engines (like Google for instance) do give some weight to internal links when it comes to ranking your pages.
However internal links are not the be all and end all when it comes to SEO
Google are decreasing the value/weight of internal links. There is a number of other people that I respect who believe that the last few updates to Google’s algorithm have had something to do with this - and that pages with a lot of internal links have actually seen their search engine page rankings (SERPS) decrease.
Permalink Optimisation For Making SE Freindly Blog
Posted in SEO For Blogs by: ChetanI Have Experimented and found that Permalink structure changing which is a big tip given by wordpress helps a lot in Search Engine Optimisation.
These are the various Changes that can be made in the permalinks to make it SE Friendly. The structre tags should be changed to normally these types :
Structure Tags :You can use these tags to customize your “Pretty” or “Almost Pretty” permalinks.
- %year%
- The year of the post, four digits, for example 2004
- %monthnum%
- Month of the year, for example 05
- %day%
- Day of the month, for example 28
- %hour%
- Hour of the day, for example 15
- %minute%
- Minute of the hour, for example 43
- %second%
- Second of the minute, for example 33
- %postname%
- A sanitized version of the title of the post. So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes “this-is-a-great-post” in the URI (see note below)
- %post_id%
- The unique ID # of the post, for example 423
- %category%
- A sanitized version of the category name. Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.
- %author%
- A sanitized version of the author name.
Check The Example In permalinks Of My Posts in which i included only the Postname Permalink Tag Structure.
About Page Can Help The Readers
Posted in Other Business Craps by: ChetanThis is an article i found from Problogger which is truly telling that An About page helps out the reader and navigate better,
Check the best points :
Key Features for Your About Page
So what should an About Page include?
This is really a matter of personal preference and something I’d like to hear your opinions on but here are a few things I include on some of my blog’s about pages:
- Photo: I like to see some sort of picture of the person I’m reading. It definitely adds something for me.
- Blog objectives: Succinctly sum up the point of your blog. What is it about? What will readers gain from it?
- Introduce Yourself: You probably want to keep your introduction down to a short one - but particularly talk about your experience with the topic you’re writing about. Why should they listen to you? What is your context and background?
- Introduce Blogging: Depending on your topic you might want to introduce the idea of a blog (or at least link to an article/post about it. Many first time blog readers don’t understand things like categories, comments, RSS etc. Also point them at some good starting points in your blog - key articles etc.
- Contact Details: I’m planning a longer post on this later - but consider giving your readers a way of getting in touch with you. Again its about transparency and interactivity.
And Darren also says that in his blog, the most viewed pages are the About Pages in his blog.
Pinging Services List For Blogs
Posted in Pinging and Development by: ChetanI Was trying for something that gives my blog some good traffic and make people know that i am posting something important for all and i found this pinging services.
This is the information i got : Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC (http://www.xmlrpc.com/) ping each time you create or update a post. In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or DayPop can find your most recent posts!
And i found a list of Pinging Services. Check it out at WordPress Codex Files
