SUMMARY: BLOGGER MANUAL | SEO TIPS AND TRICKS (GUIDELINE FOR NEW BLOGGER)

Author: fritz buyung

In this blogger manual I'll show you the basic off all SEO technique. I don't like to chit-chat, so let's straigth to the point. You must know that we have two kinds of optimization that can be done by ourselves. First, is On-page Optimization, and the second is Off-page optimization....
Do you know anything about On-page optimization? It's everyting that you can do to your blog to make it suitable for the search engine. We have several things to do for our on-page optimization:
1. Choose the keywords of your new blog
Use Google External Keywords tool to choose your keywords. How to use this tool? It's quite simple. Consider that you want to use "Blogspot tutorial" as your keyword. All you need to do is to type this keyword in to the keyword box. Fill the Captcha code and click on Keyword Suggestion. You will see a list of keywords that related to your first keyword. You will see that the competition of BLOGSPOT TUTORIAL keywords is to fierce for a new blog. Try to choose other keywords with the lowest competition but still have a good enough search volume. It's better for you to start with the lowest competition level, then slowly but sure you climb up by the number of visitor. If you can take a lot of visitor to your blog, you'll see that you can aim a new keyword with higher competition level. In this tutorial, let's consider that the keyword you choose is "BLOGGER MANUAL"
2.Choose your URL address that suits with your keywords
For example...if it's possible ...why don't you use this URL ... http://blogger-manual.blogspot.com
3. Choose Blog Title that suitable for your blog
For example...use this title..."Blogger Manual for Blogspot"
4. Use title tag in your html
Use title tag that contain the combination of your keywords, if it's posibble...use 7-10 words as your title. For example .... Blogger manual | blogspot tutorial for newbie
a title tag should seen like this

you can put this tag right under the tag in your LAYOUT -- EDIT HTML page

5. Use meta tag in your HTML
meta tag is a code that contain the summary of your blog data. There are meta description, meta keywords, & meta author that you should optimize....




6. Use your keyword in your posting title
7. Use your keywords in your articles and spread those keywords at the first sentences, and the last sentences. Don't forget to add your keywords each 2-3 paragraphs.
8. It's better for you, if your main column (the place where your article displayed) float at the left side. It's because the spider will crawl your page from the top left to the botom right. If you put your main column at the right, then the spider will crawl your sidebar and each navigation links inside your sidebar, before it arrives to your article. Your competitor will left you behind. You may say like this "O yeah, than why there is a left float main column website defeated by the center or right float main column websites?" Simple,....It's because the off-page factor that we should talk later.
If it's possible...it will be better if you put your keywords at the end of your page or right in the footer of your webpage.

If you do this, then you can boost your position up to 400 positions. If you were in the 1200 , now you may hit to the 800th position..... Now, you may already bend your face and say "Yeah, and what does it use for?" I'll say "Nothing,...it still can't help you" you have to complete the OFF-PAGE optimization to be the king of the Search Engine Result Page....

Oh, and what is off-page optimization? Simple, it's all about everything that you can do to promote your blog.
1. Increase the number of your visitors. You can do blogwalking to invite people. Or do some promotion in facebook, to invite people visit your blog
2. Build links to your blog. But before you do a link building process, you should know the type of links:
a. Link from shoutbox....it has no credit for you
b. Link from Comment box... it has credit if the blog has relevant content to your blog
c. Trackback link....It's a link that appear if you review any webpage in your blog and leave your link at the comment column of the webpage. It has more credit than a common link from the comment box
d. Reciprocal link is a kind of links that appear if you do some link exchange. It has a very good credit if both of the oage has relevant content. But, has no credit at all if they don't have any relevant content
e. One way link.... If you have one way link that is directed to your blog, then it will be the most perfect link you can have

So what is the criteria of a good link?
1. It connects the relevant pages
2. It comes from a higher Pagerank page
3. It's a one way link

At this poin, is there any conclusion you get? Well, my blogger manual will continue with the biggest question mark...."HOW CAN I GET THOSE BACKLINKS?"
It's quite simple, but I tell you that it won't be easy at all. Your solution is to send a request message to every webmasters that you want to ask for a backlinks. The badnews is A high pagerank Webmaster will be very selective to accept any link exchange offer. It's because...if they make a bad decision of which page should be connected to their website. It can kill their pagerank instantly. Let's consider like this if you accept to link your blog to other website ... and you don't know that the website has been banned by google....than you will take a risk to be banned also by Google. Or at least Google will penalize your blog by reducing your pagerank 1 or 2 points.

Well, It's still the basic knowledge, but I thinks it's enough for you to develop your SEO skill by following this short blogger manual. If you have any question....feel free to visit blogger manual.

Set Up Your Blog For Fast Profit - The Little Secret to Ranking Well

Author: Ian Hollander

Who else wants to know how the right way to set up their blog for maximum profit? If you are anything like the vast majority of people who are reading this right now, the simple truth is that you probably have your hand up high, right? It's true....there are certain "rules" or best practices when it comes to structuring your blog the proper way, and it's RARELY the sort of stuff that "gurus" and other self appointed experts will tell you is important. (often, because they simply don't know any better themselves) Now, listen up: I'm going to tell you how to set up your blog properly straight out of the gate, but rather than "trust" that I'm right, simply try this set up the next time you start a blog and watch how much better it performs for you, ESPECIALLY if you are doing a lot of off site marketing and promotion. Step 1 - ALWAYS set your blog up on sub domain. (like blog.yoursite.com) or (news.yousite.com) Step 2 - Protect the root level of your domain. Why? Because it gives you an amazing amount of flexibility. You can use the root for a veritable cacophony of different purposes, and you can always change it to "do" whatever you want, whenever you want. I like to create a navigational site map, AND put a big fat opt in box on the root. The site map should point to your blog category pages if at all possible, with keyword rich links. Why does this work well? Well, if you put your blog on the root, you are sort of "stuck" like chuck. If the blog becomes LESS important to your overall marketing strategy, for example, your URL will always be associated with a "stale" sort of feel. Remember, most people will remember your URL, or will visit on the root level, just because that's human nature. And if you've got no activity on your blog for a week or two (or more) people will assume your information is antiquated and getting old. Alternatively, a squeeze page on the root is static. Or.....if you ABANDON the project altogether for a month or two due to time constraints, you can always use the root to redirect to an affiliate program of your choice, ESPECIALLY if you are doing, or have done a lot of article marketing. (as article directories typically WON'T let you re-direct from your resource box links, if they are NOT on the root level) But....I'm going to give you one more good reason: Often, the search engines will "rank" your blog and root level differently. So it's not uncommon to have the blog show up really highly for a given keyword phrase...and then the OTHER pages get a second helping of "search engine love" completely separately, giving you the potential to have up to 4 separate domain results on the first page if you're smart, savvy and paying attention! (because trust me - most of your competition WON'T be!)
