Google-Ranked is ur ultimate dream

You can easily make a website but it is very tuff job to achieve google ranking called page rank (PR). This is your ultimate dream to get a better page rank for your website.If you follow these tips which are very necessary for your blogs, you will get huge benefit to get better result in earning revenue from online. Frederick Townes in the owner of W3 EDGE Web Design writes this tips for you.

1. Build a blog or move to Wordpress. Wordpress is a blog platform that's open source (free), robust, extensible and easy to use. Add Feedburner, which equips site owners to broadcast RSS feeds and develop user metrics. Next, synch up Google Analytics and a sitemap plug-in to simplify populating the blog and developing useful, actionable metrics. Also, make sure your blog is pinging www.technoratti.com and other social-ranking sites like www.digg.com.

2. Don't worry about page rank. PR is highly over-rated as a yardstick of online success. Connectivity within a web community and expansion through content syndication and guest blogging are more critical to building site credibility than page rank. PR will take care of itself over time if you do it right.

3. Make a difference, or at least have a clear purpose. Differentiate your content on every post. Cover lots of editorial ground.

4. Use a conversational tone. Dry, starchy academic writing is strictly for the textbooks. Write words that people "hear" instead of read.

5. Provide a "Tell Your Friends" link on your blog. Birds of a feather do, indeed, flock together. So, if one of your regulars shares an interest in philately, chances are s/he has other friends with an interest in stamp collecting.

6. Study the competition. They're studying you. Check out spyfu.com to do a little undercover work on search analytics employed by competitor sites and their visitors. You can't touch the content but you can't copyright an idea, either, so pick up some new paths of thought from others in your site's arena.

7. Remember SEO basics. Use provocative, keyword-rich title tags, meta keywords and descriptions, and only link to high-quality sites. Never over do it. Keep your posts relevant, natural, accurate and, above all, current.

8. Don't stuff blog post titles with keywords. It's a form of keyword stuffing and spiders hate keyword stuffing. The ratio in headlines should be 40% keywords, 60% non-keywords.

9. Submit your URL to blog directories. There are "best of the web," and paid directories, like Yahoo, and free directories like the Open Directory project at www.dmoz.org. Every directory listing is another link to your site and another way visitors can find you. Just google them to find more.

10. Create blog categories that contain keywords, i.e., Ecommerce, SEO, Affiliates, etc. for use with a "site hosting" or "site design" blog.

11. Content quality counts. Research topics about which target readers want to learn. Write something new, useful and relevant. And don't forget to regularly update older posts. Things change fast on the web so last year's "next big thing" is this year's hackneyed cliché.

12. Vary topics, content length, relevancy and posting times. However, be consistent, as well. Keep blogging. It can take time for a blog to catch the notice of a search engine spider.

13. Get guest bloggers. Add links from their blogs and establish your site's link community. There are people within your web neighborhood with opinions and good information. Contact them to invite submissions to your blog and your site in general

14. Don't use duplicate content. The only duplicate content that appears in your blog posts are quotes, and they should be identified with quotation marks.

15. Call posters by name. If Bob M. from Athens, Georgia, posts to your blog, recognize his contribution with a "Thanks, Bob" at the end of your response.

16. Make friends with other bloggers in your commercial, business or NFP space. Ask to become a guest blogger, or seek endorsements from the "names" within your site sphere.

17. Send a personal note to posters. Not all bloggers have the time to do this but if you can send a personal email thank-you note to a poster, you've increased the chances of that poster becoming a member of your site community.

18. Encourage viral link building. Take a stand. Introduce the coming paradigm shift in web commerce, provoke controversy. It sells. Just ask Ann Coulter.

19. Ensure the blog is optimized for Technoratti. Claim your blog, set an avatar and pings, use tags where appropriate and be sure to ping various blog tracking sites.

20. Don't place ads on your blog, yet. If you feel you must (you're seeing nice PPC revenues), determine that your site's HTML is optimized to position those ads at the bottom of each blog page.

21. If your blog isn't pulling, have the code reproduced so it's as semantic, accessible and code-to-content optimized as possible. Also, hire a code expert to position content above ads or any other content in the site markup.

22. Ignore Alexa. A lot of new site owners rely on Alexa for site metrics but remember, Alexa is a popularity metric since only Alexa toolbar users contribute data – and that's a less-than-universal test population.

23. Build credibility. Publishing authorities on your site's topicality usually does the trick. Once blog credibility is established, identify trends, solve new problems and gradually expand the topic range of your blog.

24. Buy or build a screamin' hot blog design and submit it to design galleries. Hire a site/blog designer, or bring your vision to fruition. This enables your blog to appear five or six demographic iterations from your home site, expanding the site's reach outside the immediate site community. This creates new marketing channels fast.

25. Develop some friendly contacts on social media sites and participate in the community. Ask contacts to promote your blog content. Also ask for contributors. People love to express their opinions.

New year-2008, Tips and tricks for Bloggers

Here's a basic tip that you can implement on yourblog today that will have an immediate positive impact on your traffic:

Include Photos.

Yep, it's that easy. A photograph or pictureenhances a blog post and I have no doubt that in most cases if you did a basic A/B test of the exact same blog article with and without a photograph, the article with the image will generate a better response.

It should be obvious to you why photos and pictures enhance a blog since I expect you enjoy images too. Words are good but pictures tell a thousand stories they say, so whenever possible use the power of words and pictures together.

Let's look at some of the ways you can integrate photography into your blog.

SMALL BUSINESS BLOGGING

I'll start off with what I know best - small business blogging. If your blog is designed to sell you (your services or your profile, etc) then adding a photograph of yourself is a must.

One of the most effective credibility building tools is to include a photo of you with someone famous in your industry or just someone famous in general. Get yourself a happy-snap with a high profile entrepreneur like Richard Branson or Donald Trump and you have a fantastic tool for building a reputation in business circles.

The logic behind this is obvious - if you are socialising with experts in your industry then you, by association, are perceived as an expert too.

Even if you don't have any celebrity snapshots to include on your blog, be sure to at least include a photo of yourself (or several). Blogging is about personality and it's important your readers can identify with you. A headshot on your blog
helps foster a natural rapport with your audience and projects an image of trustworthiness and friendliness.

Obviously you should use a photo with a smile and an approachable and friendly look if you want positive outcomes. It doesn't matter how old or freaky looking you think you are - just smile and people will like you :-) There's no room for being
shy if you want to be famous in the blogosphere.

*Search Engine Marketing: Blogger Types: The Good, the Bad, and the Sleazy,

I have been learnt about Search Engine Marketing for four months. I read many articles about this subject. At last I find a nice article which I post here.

Last few weeks the author watched how things played out in the blogosphere after breaking the story of Google's new "unavailable_after" tag. He has tosay that what he learned was extremely interesting and educational to me! He has been writing articles for the High Rankings Advisor newsletter and other publications for many years and have seen bits and pieces of my work get picked up in various places; however, it's a whole 'nother ballgame when you break an important news story.


The 10 Types of Bloggers

Here are the results of my review and the 10 types of bloggers I found. You'll notice that they range from good to bad to sleazy.

1. Good: People who ask permission to reprint your article and add a bio with links back as requested. These are people who are generally looking to add some content to their own sites. They usually republish the article in full, and are happy to add whatever bio and links you specify.

2. Good: People who republish without asking permission but at least link back to the original article. I don't really have a problem with the folks who haven't asked permission if they at least have the courtesy of linking back to the original article. Sure, it's not as great as controlling what the links say in a bio, but it's generally fine.

3. Good: People who blog about something you wrote and who link to your original article, providing their own unique commentary or spin to go with it. This is the best type of blog post as it isn't a complete dupe of yours, and it gives credit where credit is due. Watch out, however, as sometimes these types of blog posts are critical of what you're written. Personally, I have no problem whether people agree or disagree as that's the foundation for blogging.

4. Okay: People who blog about what some other blogger blogged about, and link to both the original article and the blogger's commentary.
I probably should put this one in the "good" category -- as it really is fine -- but it still is irksome when the secondary blogger's post seems to get more credit than the original piece.

5. Bad: People who blog about what some other blogger blogged about it (as in #4 above), but who link back only to the blogger and not the original.

I was surprised at how prevalent this one was. I don't think that most people intend to snub the original author, but it happens a lot! Sure, you could say it's okay because the post they DO link to posts that link back to the original, but that's just not good enough. I strongly believe that the original writer should get credit where credit is due in a more direct manner.

6. Bad: People who blog on the topic and then Digg their OWN post instead of the original. I almost put this in the "sleazy" category, but I guess it's sort of borderline. It seems to me if the topic is Digg-worthy, it should be the original article or post that gets Digged. Unfortunately, that's often not the case.

7. Sleazy: People who don't ask to republish but do it anyway, and don't even link back! When they don't even put the original author's name on it, I believe it's
copyright infringement. If they do mention the author's name, but never link back to them in some manner, it's pretty sleazy in my book.

8. Sleazy: Scrapers who link or don't link, but add contextual link ads and
other crap to the content.
Unfortunately, this is extremely prevalent these days. I would guess that a good portion of those 93,000 results in Google fall into this category. I can't imagine those pages actually get any traffic, so I'm not sure what the point is. The next 2 don't quite fit into the good, bad, or sleazy categories, but were additional types I noted:

9. Strange: People who blog but somehow get their facts wrong. One post got the name of the organization (SEMNE) wrong and called it SEMPO. I'm not sure why or how, as it was right there in black and white. I don't believe there was any malicious intent going on, but it was strange nonetheless. (It was corrected immediately upon notification, so that was good!)

10. Dumbasses: People who just blog it cuz everyone else is. Good blog posts are good for a reason. Simply writing about something because everyone else has is not a good blog post. 'Nuff said! And on that note, I implore you to look at your own blogging practices to see if you fit in any of the categories above. If so, here's hoping it's one of the good ones!
