SEO Tips - How to improve increase alexa ranking

0 comments

Alexa rank is key factor for any site and its reputation. Alexa rank is indication of site popularity. Better the alexa rank, more is site popular. Even advertisers are considering alexa rank as key factor and always prefer site with good alexa rank. So, it is necessary for blogger to know importance of alexa rank and work accordingly to optimize alexa rank. Below I have mentioned some useful tips to improve site alexa rank… just try out these tricks and you will find your alexa rank improved.

Improve increase alexa rank

How is alexa rank calculated??

Alexa rank is calculated mainly on basis of alexa toolbar hits to a particular site. “Alexa toolbar” is toolbar released by alexa to be installed in your web browser. So, it is not amount of traffic that determines the alexa rank, but actually the traffic with alexa toolbar installed. So, webmasters have to take efforts to attract alexa toolbar installed traffic to their site. But generally, larger the traffic, greater is chance of getting alexa toolbar hits to the site.

Tips to increase your alexa ranking:

1. Site traffic:

Generally, site traffic is inversely proportional to alexa rank. Larger the site traffic, smaller (in number) is alexa rank, which is desired. So, it is better to increase site traffic. I have written an article on 6 Tips to increase site visitors … may help you.

2. Use redirect url:

I just found this trick on web and thought of sharing this with you… check whether it works (personally not tried). Use redirect url:

http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?Followed by your website URL.

3. DMOZ:

Get listed on several sites by listing your site on DMOZ. But, you have to be patient over here as submission process on DMOZ can take time up to 5 months.

4. Entrecard:

This widget has helped me a lot in increasing my alexa rank without myself taking much effort on trick no.1. By using entrecard, you get around 30-40 hits per day on an average (can get even more). But, these 30-40 hits are actually hits from webmasters who have alexa toolbar installed. So, this is valuable traffic which can help you in boosting your alexa rank.

5. Blog Topic to attract webmasters:

Generally, it is seen that blogs having topics related to blogger hacks and webmaster’s help are having good alexa rank. Secret is open that these blogs get huge amount of targeted webmasters and as we know, most webmasters have alexa toolbar installed. So, though they have normal traffic, their alexa ranking is high because they have traffic with alexa toolbar installed. Thus, type of traffic affects alexa rank a lot.

6. Blogging network:

This is somewhat traditional, but you can give it a try. You can develop your own blogging network with your fellow bloggers and ask each of them to install alexa toolbar and you can exchange each other’s hits by visiting each other. This is same as traffic exchange.

7. Blogging Forums:

Now, when we know that alexa rank can be increased by attracting high traffic with alexa toolbar installed, we can use blogging forums to attract such blogger traffic and optimize alexa rank. For this, register to all known blogging forums and add your blog link with attractive anchor to your signature. Also, post your articles and help other bloggers there by sharing your knowledge with them. This will help in attracting good amount of bloggers from blogging forums.

8. Friends n relatives:

You can even install alexa toolbar on your nearby computers and set your blog/site as browser homepage/start page. So that when they start their browser, they visit your site and you get one more alexa toolbar hit helping you improve your alexa ranking.

These are all tricks I found useful to improve my site alexa rank and so mentioned them in this article. There may be many other too. If you have any trick to optimize alexa rank, please share it with us in comments section.

SEO Tips - Some New SEO Tips to increase Google search ranking

0 comments

I have seen in many blogging forums such questions “How can increase my google search ranking” asked by newbies. So, i have written this article for bloggers to answer their question. I have listed 9 onpage SEO optimization tips to help you improve your google rankings. Just implement these SEO tips and see your search engine rankings boosting and hence traffic increasing. I have even written an article on How I doubled my site traffic .. may help you.

SEO Tips

Onpage optimization to increase Google ranking:

The 9 tips to improve google ranking are given as:

1. Keywords :

Keywords are the words used by users to search for results. So, use of right keywords in posts help in increasing google rank and thus attracting high traffic from search engines. You can use Google adwords or various keyword softwares to track proper keywords that suit your article.

2. Title :

It is title that is seen first by search engine spiders rather than article body. So, use of right keywords in article title helps in increasing site traffic from search engine.

3. header tags :

This is very important part of onpage optimisation, which i was neglecting so long. These header tags h1, h2,h3,h4 are used to indicate title and subtitles according to their hierarchies. I will write an article on this separately.

4. strong and em tags :

Use strong and em tags to highlight content. Also, what is more advantageous is , these strong and em tags are used to inform spiders “what the content is about”. So, use strong and em tags for keywords. But, dont overuse them.

5. Image alt tags :

Generally, while including image in post, we just enter image tag with its source (img src=”"). Alongwith this, include alt tags which tell search engine spiders about what image is actually about. Try using keywords in alt tags.

6. Anchor text :

While using links in posts, it is general practice to use “here” or “site” as anchor text. For example, to provide a download link to software, one use “Download here” as anchor text. But, it would be better if you use “Download software here” as anchor text.

7. Title tags :

When anchor text is optimized, its time to look at title tags. Title tags come in role when you hover mouse over a link and content of title tags are displayed without user clicking link. This title tag is used to inform search engine spiders about site you are linking to. So, why not use this title tag to include keywords??? So, title tags with keywords help in SEO.

8. New unique content :

It is my general observation that search engine prefers new content than redundant copied content. So, try out your innovation to write on new topics or if you dont have new topic, just develop your own way of presenting the topic and remember “NEVER COPY”. Yes, you can use other articles to get ideas on subject but dont be a copycat. You are a BLOGGER and not a Copycat.

9. Start and end :

Usually, it is seen that stuffing keywords at start and end of article increases chances of getting high search engine rank. So, it is beneficial to use keywords at start and end of article.

Guys, just try out these tricks and you’ll find your google traffic increasing. These tips have helped me a lot in getting google hits. I hope they may help you. If you know any SEO tricks not mentioned in article, but has helped you in getting google traffic, please mention it in comments section.

SEO Tips - How To Submit Blogger Sitemap to MSN and Ask.com

0 comments
Submitting your Blog's sitemap to these search engines will enable them to index the pages and contents of the site. Needless to say, having all the pages indexed will essentially avail your contents to more internet users and improve your site's page rank.

Blogger Sitemap

If you own an external domain site, you can search the net for sitemap generators which help you create a sitemap file. Upload the file onto the root directory and call it sitemap.xml. The full URL of the sitemap will then be something like this:- “http://domainname.com/sitemap.xml”

However, we cannot upload files onto the root directory of Blogger blogs. Hence, when asked to insert a Blogger blog sitemap, it will have to be either:-

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml

OR

http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Replace YOURBLOGNAME with the name of your blog. For Blogger blogs, do not add "www." to YOURBLOGNAME. As an example, our blog's sitemap will be http://bloggertipandtrick.blogspot.com/rss.xml

Submit Blog Sitemap to MSN

Unlike Google and Yahoo!, MSN does not have a set of procedures or an address where you can submit sitemaps to. In the latest post in their Microsoft Live Search Weblog, they had invited webmasters and developers to help build a New Webmaster Portal that would include sitemap creation, submission and ping tools, very much what Google and Yahoo! already had. Once MSN has that user interface, we shall update this article.

The MSN team had suggested that webmasters add this to their robots.txt file to have the MSN spiders crawl the sitemap file:-

User-agent: *
Sitemap: http://domainname.com/sitemap.xml

Again, we do not have root access to the Blogger server and this will not avail to us.

The alternative solution in the meantime is to submit the Blog sitemap to Moreover.com. It seemed that there was a standing arrangement for Moreover to provide the submitted feeds to MSN for crawling and indexing.

Whether or not the arrangement still holds true, there is really no harm in submitting your sitemap to Moreover.

Copy and paste this line into your internet browser, replacing the portion in red with the name of your Blog:-

http://api.moreover.com/ping?u=http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml

If you have submitted it correctly, you should see this message:-

Thank you for your ping. The moreover database will be updated with the new data from your url - http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml as soon as possible.

Submit Blog Sitemap to Ask.com

Ask.com, previously known as Ask Jeeves, is the next major internet search engine. The sites that it owns include Excite, Bloglines, MyWay and iWon. It is also a participant of the Sitemaps protocol program.

Submitting the sitemap to Ask is easy too. Copy and paste this line into your internet browser, replacing the portion in red with the name of your Blog:-

http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml


Submit Sitemaps to other search engines

Progressively, there should be more search engines that will join this Sitemaps program. More likely than not, they will use the recommended ping submission format:-

http://search-engine-url/ping?sitemap=http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml

If you are unable to find a submission link in that search engine site, try the above and keep your fingers crossed that it is the correct ping address.
