Free Keyword Search Tool ! SEO your website now

2008-07-20T09:49:00.000-07:00

To optimize your website or your blog your need to understand your customer behaviour. I might be sounding very technical but its actually not so technical...read it and you will understand

1. Find out what people are typing in to find contents related to your website or blog.

for example: people looking to buy mobile phone batteries simply type in mobile in the search box and then they search for mobile phone batteries in the search result.

how do i know what people are typing in search boxes??
a very obvious question, and for this you dont have to be an hacker or a geekie guy and neither will you need any mad softwares.

The answer is Google's latest keyword feature. If you haven't heard of it yet, here's the scoop...

Previously, Google did not reveal the number of searches for a particular keyword. With this new Google Adword Keyword Tool, you're no longer left in the dark.You can also bid for keywords and get targetted traffic to you site.

with this tool you can search for descriptive words or phrases(type in some word like green tea and you will find words related to green tea) or also search your website for keywords.

2. As now you know what people are typing in their search boxes to find your content so.... soooooo.......
now you need to make a title for your post that will attract the customer to click on it.
For example: a few of the recently popular titles are

the girl who silenced the world for five minutes
worlds costliest advertisement
etc....etc....etc...

3. Always make sure to provide useful content to your visitors and that will bring trust in you and you will get a lot of faithful customers.

And now its time to thank me.You can also Subscribe by Email and be updated

Its a record of sorts and the hype and buzz developed around the iPhone has paid off with Apple selling 1 million iPhones across the world in just 3 days. If you consider that it took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, selling 1 million iPhone 3G in 3 days is clearly indicative of the huge demand.

More than 800 native applications are available on the App Store, with over 200 free and more than 90 percent priced at less than $10.

How To Add Another Sidebar To Your Blogger Blog???

2008-07-17T03:10:00.000-07:00

A new sidebar can give you more space to add more content to your blog. It can dramatically change the way your blog looks.

As you can see I got a new sidebar which the default blogger templates do not offer, so this blog itself is an example to this post.

Getting back to the point, its very simple hack, just copy and paste some codes here and there and thats it you are done.

Before we even start, I advise you to back-up your precious templates.

For this hack you might need to change the width of you #main-wrapper for the sidebar to fit in.
so if you main wrapper(content area + sidebar) is of 700px
content area of 490px
and sidebar of 210px
and new sidebar of 210px
then the total width with the new sidebar is 490 + 210 + 210 = 910px

1. Go to Layout>Edit HTML in your Dashboard

2. Find the below codes in your HTML

#sidebar {
float:left;
background: #fff;
width: 210px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

3. Just copy and paste it just below it and name it #newsidebar.See the example below:

Copy This code from your HTML

#sidebar {
float:left;
background: #fff;
width: 210px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

And Paste it just below it and rename it to #newsidebar

#newsidebar {
float:left;
background: #fff;
width: 210px;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}

in the above code you can specify the place you want the header to be. Like you can show it on right also.

4. Then find the code below, it is probably towards the bottom of your HTML page.

<div id="sidebar-wrapper">
<?xml:namespace prefix = b /><b:section class="sidebar" id="sidebar" preferred="yes">
</b:section>
</div>

5. and paste this code just above it

And thats it you are done with it. So now go to your Layout>Page Elements in your Dashboard and it should be looking something like this with a new coloumn.

So now its time to thank me.If you like this post you can also subscribe by email or rss and receive our updates directly in your mailbox.

Google Cheat Sheet

2008-07-12T22:57:00.000-07:00

Did I say Google again. Well might be you are bored out of using Google but I know you still don't know the basics.

Google has been trying to understand us for a little while now. Firstly by providing us a dream search engine then now they are into google groups,news,maps,calendar,Email service,videos,webhosting,books,web services,Social networking like Orkut etc etc.... just everywhere they can get their tail into. So one day you and me might be eating on a Plate with the Google logo on it with a small camera monitoring our food habits. Does that sound funny to u, if it did then you must be having a good sense of humour.

So from now on whenever I say Google I actually mean to tell the brave Google. The brave Google ??? Recently I was reading a Book on google and I learned that these people are really brave trying to spread up the google services so much that its just impossible for any geeko kid out there to duplicate its network or come into competition.....

Lets get back to the point...

1. Whenever you enter something like 45 + 50 in Google. What Google does is it acts like a calculator and shows the result. Though you can substitute the( + )sign with anything like ( + , - , * , / , ^ , % )
Also when you are searching for time of some place, what google does is shows you the time directly on top of the page. So you dont have to open any webpages.Acting Almost like a brave kid.

2. How to find pages containing the both the word vacation and hawaii ???
To find pages containing the words vacation and hawaii. Just type vacation hawaii in the search box and Google will find it for you.

3. How to find pages with words Maui OR Hawaii ???
Very simple just type Maui or Hawaii in the search box.

4. How to find the exact phrase for example lets say " To each his own " ???
For this type what you want to find with the quotation marks. Might be useful to find documents with a particular lines.

5. How to find a word by excluding another word ???
Lets say you want to find the word virus but not the word computer.
So for this you will have to type virus -computer

What is that you have written there ??? first write the word you want to find then minus(-) the word you want to exclude. Note that there are no spaces after the minus(-) sign, but there is a space after the word virus.

6. How to find only the word sock, and not the plural or any tenses or synonyms ?
+sock ( type this in the search box)
and google will find pages with only the word sock excluding any plural or any tenses or synonyms of the word sock
Note: there are no spaces after the + sign

7. Want to find the loan info for both the word auto and its synonyms: truck, car, etc.
~auto loan ( type this in the search box)

8. How to find definitions of any word ?
define:computer
Tpye that in the search box and google will find the definitions of the word computer for you.
Note : there are no spaces in between

9.How to find the words separated by one or more words ?
red * blue
Type this into the search box and google will find the words red and blue separated by one or more words.
Note: there is a space after the word red and before the word blue.

10. Did you know why there is a I'm Feeling Lucky button on google homepage?
It Takes you directly to first web page returned for your query.

I have heard many people have had problems when they wanted to search only one site, but when they enter a word in google all it does is search its directory and provides sites related to it. So How to search only one site ???
admission site:www.stanford.edu
When you type this in the search box it will Search Stanford University site for admissions info.
Lets break the above into three parts:
(i) what you want to search(its admission in above example)
(ii) then type site: { note there are no spaces}
(iii) then just after site:type the site you want to search(its http://www.standford.edu/ in above example).

What will google do if i type the above in the search box ??? very nice question
I have already answered it and I feel like answering it again.
So it will simply Search the Stanford University site for admissions info.

12. How to search within a range of numbers ?
Lets say you want to search for a DVD players between $100 and $150 because they are so cheap now. Recently I enquired for a Cassate player( ya the big ones) and that guy told me it would cost Rs. 6000/- for the second hand and thats costly for me so I dumped it on his face.

DVD player $100..150
thats what you have to type to search for what it means to be.

13. How to Find pages that link to the Stanford University website ?
link:www.stanford.edu
Type this in the search box and google will show you all those pages that link to the Standford University website
Note: there are no spaces in between

14. How to Find information about the Stanford University website ???
info:www.stanford.edu
Type this and Google will show you the information about the Standford University website.
Note: there are no spaces in between

15. How to Find websites related to the Stanford University website ???
