How Choose Keyword Phrases For Article?

In order to use keywords and keyword phrases effectively, you should use different keywords and keyword phrases in each page of your website. Then you have to ensure that the content of each web page is further optimized for

the selected keyword or keyword phrases.

Title Tag
The most relevant keywords and keyword phrases should be used in the title of your home page. You have to make sure that the title of your homepage makes sense. It should not be mere insertion of keywords and keyword phrases.

Each web page of your website should also have a title. Here the title should contain the keywords or keyword phrases relevant to that particular page.

The keywords and keyword phrases should be used at least two or three times in each page.

Meta Tag Keywords
You should place the relevant keywords in your meta tag. Here it is advisable to use keyword phrases as single keywords can end up being too competitive and you may not get the desired results.

Separate the keyword phrases with commas or spaces. Do not repeat the keywords more that two or three times otherwise you will be facing the wrath of the search engines. This is a good place to go for common misspellings, singular and plural forms, and upper and lower case of the keyword phrases.

Content
Most search engines are satisfied with the web page having an article of 250 words. Therefore, ensure that your content is around 250 words and the density of the keywords and keyword phrases should not be more than 4 to 7 percent. If you exceed this density, search engines might consider your web page as keyword spamming. Use the most important and relevant keywords and keyword phrases without being too repetitive.

How Do Search Engines Work ?

Let us assume that you search engine optimized your website. However, in order to understand the entire SEO process, it is important to know how search

engines work which allows them to display results to searchers.

Search engines use automated programs called spiders or bots. These spiders or bots crawl all over the hyperlinks in a website. Most websites make it easy for spiders and bots to crawl over their website by having a sitemap which is link an index of all the web pages of a website.

Once a spider crawls over a website or web page, the contents of the website or web page has to be indexed. This is nothing but storing the contents in a giant database. A search engine does the indexing is a fraction of second given the size of the World Wide Web.

So when a searcher types a search term in a search engine, the search engine retrieves all documents with the matching search term from its index and displays it for the searcher.

Once the search engine figures out which are the most relevant match to a searcher’s query, it uses a complicated mathematical equation to determine which website or web page is the most relevant for a particular search term and it is displayed with the most relevant website or web page being in the front and the least relevant at the back. This is the reason why websites and web pages are constantly endeavoring to be in the front so that searchers click on their URL and visit their website or web page.

Making your blog search engine-friendly

When your blog is live - which may happen in the near future, or may have happened months or years ago -, your blog will certainly be crawled by

search engines like Google. After it happens, people may see your blog, or particular pages from it, as results when they search for words or phrases in the aforementioned search engines.It follows from that that it is desirable for your blog - all of it - to be correctly indexed. And there are some basic things you can do to help.
  1. Use a robots.txt file, uploaded to the root of your site (it should be available at http://yoursite.com/robots.txt). That file tells search engines what not to index. Search engines tend to “respect” more the sites that have that file. It can also prevent the engines from showing “internal” stuff to users, like your statistics pages. You can find instructions for creating such a file at robotstxt.org.

    As an example, here’s mine. As you can see, it’s a very simple one:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin

  2. Put the subjects in the titles. We always have the temptation of using “clever” subjects, or subjects which lead on into the entry text, but are meaningless by themselves. I’m guilty of doing that myself, using titles like “Well…” or “Yes, but…” in older articles on other blogs. It may even look “cool” to someone who’s already reading your blog… but using “proper” titles (they don’t have to be serious or formal, but should include whatever it is that your entry is about) will increase the number of your visitors. A lot.
  3. Another one I keep missing: use descriptions of the links (both internal and external) as the link text. In other words, avoid doing something like this, which creates a link called simply “this“. Instead of “this”, use something like the site’s name, the article’s name, your short description of the article’s content, etc..
  4. Enable permalinks, if your software/server allows you to. Permalinks make your URLs look a lot nicer, such as “site.com/my-holidays/” instead of “site.com/blog.php?page=428″. Not only does it make your blog much more readable for your readers, but search engines work much better with that, because with the non-permalink way all your entries could be misinterpreted as a single page.
  5. Make your site inter-linked: most blogging software does it automatically, but if it doesn’t, do it yourself. All article pages should have a link to the front page, which should have either links to all the articles, or links to lists (usually called “archives”) to all the articles. If needed, create a “site map”, a page with links to every single article in your site, like an index.
  6. Check your spelling. I’ve mentioned this one before, but it’s also important for search engines. If you misspell some word, people will only find your site in a search engine if they happen to misspell it exactly the same way.

Analyze Your Technorati Rank and Link Counts

Technorati tracks the buzz about every word you type and publish on your blog. I was always confused about how these Technorati link count works, and recently contacted support to understand them. Though I got no reply, they

decided to write a post about it.

If you have never heard about Technorati, I suggest you read the Top 10 Reasons Why You Need a Technorati Account.

Try a quick example of technorati links to our blog. It shows Rank: 2,055 (1,605 links from 793 blogs) and a little below it says 1,744 links to this URL.

This means
* Rank 2,055: the number of blogs, plus one, that have more than 793 blogs linking to them
* 1,605 links: the number of links pointing at this URL in the last 180 days
* 793 blogs: the number of distinct blogs pointing at this URL in the last 180 days
* 1,744 links: the total number of links we found pointing at this blog, ever

Further inferences to deduce -
If you look at the top 100 Technorati blogs, technorati rank is decided by the number of blogs linking to you and not the number of backlinks. So you might have your favorite circle of blog friends crosslinking each other posts, but though it might get you hundreds of backlinks, it will not improve technorati rank much. At this point you need at least more than 3,062 blogs linking to you to get into Technorati Top 100.

You can read more about the John Scott $10000 Challenge which expressed concern of gaming technorati as many in the Technorati Top 100 only link to others in the Technorati Top 100, with the result that the A-list Bloggers keep on getting bigger.

Another inference you derive from this is that active blogs rank higher. If you stop posting and people stop backlinking your blog, your technorati rank will start dropping and after 6 months, irrespective of how popular your blog was or you were featured in the Technorati 100, you might be sitting at the bottom of the blogosphere.

It also means consistently good blogs rank higher. You write a great post, drive huge site traffic manage a hundred blogs to link to you which zooms your rank, but if you are not consistent in writing good blog content and maintain a stream of regular backlinks, those spikes and peaks will disappear after 6 months and you will notice a sudden drop in technorati rank. So regular posting of good content, with regular backlinks help to maintain your technorati ranks.

5 Tips to Better Technorati Indexing

In case you are wondering why Technorati is not indexing your blog posts and Technorati tags, Maybe the technorati spider is unable to assess your blog as you would want it to.
Here are some simple tips

which you can implement in your blog so that Technorati indexes it well and you get all that extra site traffic from Technorati.

1. Valid markup for Web Pages
Display your webpage content as it is meant to be displayed. A vaild markup ensures Technorati spiders pick up your site code efficiently. W3C Markup Validation Service is a free service that checks Web documents in formats like HTML and XHTML for conformance to W3C Recommendations and other standards and will help you identify and correct markup errors on your site. [In fact this is the reason Technorati support told me when I emailed them I was not being indexed well]

2. Validate Your Feed
Technorati indexes your feed to retrieve additional information and discern document structure. Feedvalidator is a validator for syndicated feeds which works with RSS 0.90-2.0 and Atom feeds. It helps your syndication feeds and possible points of improvement. [Well my feedburner feed does not validate. And FeedBurner says the obsolete feed error is OK]

3. Identify a unique posts
By adding a link with a defined relationship of “bookmark” for each post, you can help Technorati’s spiders identify a unique post and its proper link destination . So add this simple tag to your post title links and guide Technorati. For example:

<_a href="http://blog.bloghost.com/postname" rel="bookmark">Post title<_/a>

4. Use Technorati Tags
If your blog software supports categories and RSS/Atom feeds (like Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad, Blogware, Radio), possibly your categories will be read as tags automatically. If your blog software is Blogger (like mine) which doesn’t support categories, you have to tag your post by including a special link in the body of your post.

<_a href="http://technorati.com/tag/[tagname]" rel="tag">[tagname]<_/a>

If you do not wish to link to Technorati, You can link to any web page that ends in a tag

<_a href="http://apple.com/ipod" rel="tag">iPod<_/a>

Read more about Technorati tags and usage.

5. Ping Technorati
Blog and Ping! Pinging a blog service lets them know you have created / updated a post and invites them to come visiting to check your post for tags and content. Several blog softwares are configured to ping Technorati automatically, or you can manually ping Technorati, or configure your blog publishing tool to ping Technorati directly and allow for custom pings.

I have read that many bloggers are complaining that Technorati is not indexing their blog well. So try this, have some patience and see if Technorati indexes you well and sends some more site traffic your way!

Free Essential Tools for Blogger Blogs

This is my suggestion to you for your first free essential must haves for your blog.

1. Feedburner - It generates an smart feed compatible with all feed readers for free like my feed. It allows you to put easy subscribe buttons for XML, Add to yahoo, Add to Newsgator, Add to MSN etc. Read about how their single feed policy can benefit you.

It can give you a cool feed count chicklet button to show how many readers are using your feed to read your blog. It also gives you a headline animator which you can attach to your blog to display the recent 5 posts in a nice animated fashion. You can get an authentic Creative Common license, get a browser friendly RSS feed, Splice photos and links and more…

2. Haloscan - Trackback is

an essential component of blogging these days. Unfortunately Blogger does not have trackback. Haloscan provides you with a seamless way to integrate free trackback in your blog by adding a small code. You can also integrate their comments component if you like to replace the Blogger comments. Read about Haloscan or Blogger comments.

The benefits are that you can edit Haloscan comments, and open them in a pop up and keep them separate from your post (Blogger allows you to only delete comments and not edit them, also on the post page all comments will show whether you like it or not).

The main disadvantage is it will not email you these comments (like Blogger) for free and it is difficult to track where these comments were made. Another major benefit is that it allows you to send pings and trackback to other sites when you mention about them in your posts.

3. Imageshack - Dont you want to fill your blog with images without hassles of registration. Imageshack provides an excellent interface to take care of your free image hosting needs. Maybe it is this the fastest way to host an image on the web. Allows lots of image format, hotlinking, transloading from other sites. Its a good idea to register to keep track of all your images in one place. It is much convenient than the proposed Hello and Picassa options…

Update: Blogger enabled hosting of images on its own webspace making it easier to host images in your posts. But you cannot manage or edit / delete your blogger images in any way

4. Technorati - Create and add a technorati profile. It allows you to claim your blog in this huge blogosphere. It allows you to put an excellent technorati search on your blog. The best part is that whenever someone mentions or links to any page of your blog, technorati knows and a search for your blog on technorati shows exactly how many sites link to which pages of your blog and when they were added with a small description. See why you need a technorati account.

5 - Sitemeter - Just takes 5 minutes to get a free tracker which gives you realtime site traffic statistics to check the quantity and quality of your site traffic with detailed referrer and geographic data. I have checked out several other tracking sites, but this one seems the best. Although you need to keep a counter visible (as a logo, visitor counter) and the statistics can be made private too.

StatCounter gives much more detailed statistics and the counter is totally invisible and free totally till you start getting large traffic, when you need to pay. But the disadvantage is that both of these track the last 100 visitors only, while another free service Extreme Tracking tracks them all… but you statistics cannot be made private. More options I like are Google Analytics for deep traffic statistical analysis and it is hidden too.

6. Feedblitz - It quickly allows your blog visitors to subscribe by email to your new posts. They just have to enter their email. You decide which page opens after they press Subscribe. A quick confirmatory email to them and they get 1 email daily with all your new posts. You can decide if you want to send the full post or short posts with defined number of characters. Very good to keep your subscribers informed of new posts. It allows them to unsubscribe easily also. Example for our blog.

7. My Blog Log - Tracks outgoing links to let you know where your traffic is going. The free limited version data is not in much detail, yet provides a good idea. You can also add a Top 5 Our Links module to your web site. Now they have a MyBlogLog community to get some extra site traffic too.

8 AudioBlogger- Audioblogger allows free unlimited audio posts from any phone to your Blogger blog. You call the number (Currently a US phone number), record a post, then your blog is updated with an audioblogger icon and a link to your recorded audio.

9. w.bloggar - It is a Post and Template editor, with several features and resources that the browser based blog editors do not offer. It enables users to have only one interface to several accounts hosted on several different sites, using different publishing systems. Helps to manage multiple blogs on Blogger very effectively.

10 Blogger Mobile - opens a new concept of Moblogging i.e. blogging by your mobile phone. When you send text or photos from your mobile device to go@blogger.com they’re automatically posted to your new blog page.

11. Blogexplosion - helps you get confirmed traffic to your blog. The principle is simple, you visit other peoples blogs and they visit yours. For every 2 blogs you visit, one visitor comes to you. This is very good if you are new blogger and have hardly any traffic. Definitely try the Rent a Blog advertising swap service.

12. Pingoat - Pinging lets dozens of blogging services know you’ve updated your site and increases traffic to your blog. Just enter your blog name and blog home page, check the blogging services you want to ping, just click ‘Submit Pings’ and in one click it pings all of them. Pingoat offers a wide variety of such services and is fast too. See many more one click pinging services.

13. Creative Commons - It offers a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors and artists. They have built upon the “all rights reserved” of traditional copyright to create a voluntary “some rights reserved” copyright. They are nonprofit and all tools are free and useful to highlight the way in which you want others to use you content.

14. Google Adsense and Search - When you take all effort to write for a blog, why not optimize it to make some money. Let users search for good posts in your blog. And now it even helps to monetize you feeds.
