Get High Traffic

Link Building Is Not Working: Google Penguin

2013-11-13T06:43:00.000-08:00

"Link building is not working" is something which all the webmasters are discussing throughout the web. Link building was a very popular SEO strategy used by all webmasters to get to the first page of Google. Though disappointing to a few webmasters, many webmasters are now unable to understand what they can possibly do to get to the first page of Google without using link-building because link building is no longer working for increasing your SERP ranking.

There was a time where we just needed to write a post do some on-page optimization build a few links across the social networking sites with proper anchor text and we would see Google pushing our post higher and higher in its search results and we would easily get high traffic. But now link building is no longer working. Earlier, whatever links building webmasters did using suitable anchor-text is no longer working because Google's Penguin update has stopped seeing the anchor text used in the links.

You cannot do link building using social bookmarking sites for more than four sites else Google may identify your links as unnatural and rank you very low. You need to keep your link building very natural is what Google says but in reality link building has completely stopped working: link building is working no more because those little bit of links that you build are nofollow links which Google will never take into consideration.

Google does not want link building to work anymore. The recent algorithm updates are taking link building patterns very seriously and are identifying every site as spam if they are gaining anchor-text links built very aggressively. So if you are using link building using social networking sites for ranking high on Google you should stop doing it because now link building will not work and instead it will do harm to your site and remove your site from the Google index.

This time the slogan of Google says "stop link building", "do site building" and leave the rest to us. Google does not like it if you play with its search results by trying to tell it what keyword you want to rank for by building too many links with anchor text of your choice. Google will now be choosing its pages by neglecting all the off-page link-building strategies that webmasters will practice. Google does not want webmasters to manipulate its search results and hence it has stopped link building from pushing your site up through its organic search results.

The worst part about the Penguin update is that the filters are very sensitive and can detect the places which give the webmasters an easy opportunity to manipulate Google SERP's using strategies like link building, keyword stuffing,etc. Link building is no longer working but the bad guys even today know how to exploit the SERP's and are still ranking high for terms they desire. This is not due to link building: link building will only increase your Google PR, not your ranking in search results.

There are many factors which Google will give more importance to while weighing the importance of your page of which link-building was just one factor which is no longer working. There are nearly 200+ factors that Google will consider before ranking your page of which link building will be completely neglected. Your site may be considered to be involved in link fraud and will be thrown out of Google index. Hence, link building isn't working and you should stop doing link-building because you will be just wasting your time doing something which no longer helps your site get high traffic.

Google Penguin Update | What Does Google Penguin Update Do

2013-11-10T05:51:00.001-08:00

Google Penguin update has been released and it is affecting our ranks in Google SERP. We all remember that before the Penguin update all we had to do was: write a post, submit it to a few social networking sites and we would find our post somewhere on the second or third page of Google organic search results. Doing a little bit of search engine optimization would get us some quick high traffic in no time. But now the Penguin update has changed the rules of the game. So much so that previous search engine optimization methods may sometimes even hurt our site traffic.

Penguin punishes easily available links:

Easily available links which can change Google's search results and give you a chance to feature your blog in the top organic search results are filtered out by Google Penguin update. Gone are the days where we just wrote an article and submitted it to Digg and Boom: our posts would appear on the second or third page of Google. Do that now and you find your post nowhere in the top hundred if you search for the search term. This has happened with me: submit the page to too many social bookmarking sites and the page is gone. At the most you may submit your site to two or three social networking sites. Because it is Google and it wants to keep its social networking site up and running Penguin allows you to upload your link on Google+. Penguin has no problem with that. If you submit your post URL to more than three social bookmarking sites Penguin may throw you out of Google's organic search results list.

Penguin knows where the links are easily available:

Blog directories, social bookmarking sites, social networking sites, sites with blog posts and so many other places allow the webmasters to get some good amount of free links to boost their site visibility and site traffic. And Google's Penguin really hates that from the bottom of its heart. Penguin can harm you if it finds that you are building too many back-links to your site from any of these sources. But you may heave a sigh of relief: Penguin is here only to see whether the links are coming the normal way or have just boomeranged in a day or two. You may do link building through directories but you need to make sure that Penguin finds it natural else you are in for trouble. Think of it if SEO were really dead would there be any SEO firms living today. Even today Google loves links: remember Google introduced Google's Penguin update but did not out-date the PR formula. As long as page rank exists Google traffic can be very easily stolen!

Penguin punishes you even if you have one illegal link:

Link farms created so much of trouble for Google that it had to tell its Penguin algorithm in very strict words: any such links and the site traffic shall fall crashing down to the ground. This has happened and many webmasters complained to their SEO contractors that their site traffic suddenly fell down. The results were sometimes so devastating that a site traffic of thousands of visitors came crashing down to merely a few hundreds. And yes I have seen the graphs. The real problem behind the sudden traffic fall was two back-links coming from unwanted sources where the bad guys always wandered. Once the links were removed from Google index using their newly released link removal Disavow tool the site traffic got higher. Doesn't that sound interesting.

This Penguin can read anchor text:

This is a long known secret: Google does not like you to use the same anchor text in all the links you build. The good part is if the number of links pointing to your site are many Google Penguin ignores this fact. Remember that the primary keyword should be used for building links only for 50% of your anchor text. You just need to give a variety of anchor texts and keep the targeted anchor text to be pointing to your site for only 50% of the total number of back-links pointing to your site. Never give the Penguin a chance else your site is sure to bleed.

Google's Penguin update is prepared to punish the bad guys:

In simple words Google's Penguin update expects that you should not do whatever the black-hat search engine optimization experts are doing. Stay safe if you depend on a single site. The bad guys can build as many number of sites as they want without getting busted by Google. Their efforts are short and their success is also short. Penguin does punish the bad guys but by then the bad guys steal their part of the show. Think of a new site with no posts ranking 1st on the first page of Google and Google has to manually remove it out of its index when someone reminds them about it. The Penguin has done more harm to the good guys than the bad ones. Let us just hope that things get better and we get to see a smarter Penguin in the near future.

Google Traffic Stolen!

2013-11-09T21:09:00.001-08:00

Google traffic is still being stolen by expert search engine optimizers. Believe it or not as long as it is a machine and an algorithm it is very easy to manipulate it. As long as Google gives special attention to back-links and SEO, the bad guys will always bring bad name to Google by misusing the rules.

There are still many webmasters who know the trick of getting to the top page of Google in no time and Google is very reluctant in putting them first on its list. If more links are pointing to your site: Google will give it undue importance. The best part is link building using comments section is dangerous and may be considered spam any time soon.

Using link building for making a post stand up as an important post in the eyes of Google may put all your efforts in the dust-bin. Trying to punish the bad guys, Google has accidentally punished many good guys. Panda and Penguin have made life-long efforts of so many webmasters an utter waste. Only those who played extremely safe got a very good badge from Google but never the first rank.

Even today there are many keywords which are giving higher ranks to webpages with very little or no content. Because getting back-links is a very difficult job Google has decided that it will never put this ranking logic down. Links will always rule the Google algorithms. To make things worse the no-follow links were introduced and every webmaster is now stealing the content from other sites and giving that webmaster a no-follow link in return.

As long as Google loves links, the bad guys will always find different means of getting to the first page of Google. The good news is Google loves freshly updated content. i have personally tested and found that if you upload more than posts in a single day (which is not possible if you are the only warrior updating content on your blog) Google will start ranking your posts higher and higher. My posts go up in Google search for a short time and make some quick traffic when I update more posts on the same day. No matter whatever measures Google takes to makes its search results more better, webmasters will always find different ways of stealing Google traffic.

Google Penguin Fails In Curbing Link Fraud

2013-11-09T20:43:00.000-08:00

Google Penguin has been unable in detecting link fraud. You will find so many complaints online speaking about the unsuccessful attempts of Google trying to identify and punish link fraud. There are spammers who have filled the web with spam-my links and have thrown their links all around the web.

Using comments section for building links: are you still doing that? Seriously Google will punish you for your acts with its Penguin update. Believe it or not but if you go on submitting your post link to many sites by using their comments section Google will kill your blog. The better part is once you stop doing it Google eases its filters and gives you some fresh air to breathe.

Another interesting thing I have been noticing is Google hates Social bookmarking. It just wants that you update your changes on Google+ and forget the other networking sites. Google is bothered only about Google+ updates because it gives Google a very good chance of identifying whom to rate higher. The greater the number of likes you get on Google+ Google finds your article to be more and more interesting. If you are submitting your articles to all bookmarking and networking sites it is time to stop it if you want Google traffic.

Though Penguin has been successful in finding a few link frauds there are many instances where you find that Google has got complaints from webmasters showing it a few sites with no content ranking on the front page of Google within 2 days just because they built huge number of illegal links in a short time. Those links were later manually removed. Doesn't that tell us that Google still has a lot to do to curb link frauds?

Matt Cutts: Link Building Not Necessary

2013-11-09T20:21:00.001-08:00

Matt Cutts says that link building will be dead but there are many reasons which make it really clear that link building can never die. Matt Cutts argued that he has many links pointing to his blog: every person is not Matt Cutts. Matt Cutts is an Engineer working for Google and everyone knows that. It is obvious that whatever Matt Cutts will publish on his blog will be shared by everyone in the Blog-o-sphere.

Link building can never be dead. Page-rank has never been dead. PR is one of the 200 or more basis on which Google ranks a webpage. There are many webmasters who use link building and rank higher for whichever keyword they want to rank for.

We all know that link building increases the PR of a site. Greater the number of back-links greater will be the ranking position of the site in the search engines. In fact, Matt Cutts also asks for back-links when he does Q&A sessions with other Bloggers. Does that not give us a hint that Matt Cutts is wrong when he says that link building is not necessary.

Keyword Finding | Find Good Keywords Without Using A Keywords Tool

2013-11-09T20:06:00.000-08:00

Keywords are the key to getting high traffic. There is a very good way of finding the keywords that can give you some good traffic. Google identifies the most popularly used keywords and suggests them in the keyword suggestions that appear in the drop-down box. Irrespective of whether these are searched for the most, you can write a post on the topic and target some long tail keyword very easily.

This keyword analysis also give you the number of competitors you will get for the primary keyword. Now extend your primary keyword and try to figure some long-tail keywords and see the number of competitors. Write posts on topic which is not targeted by many visitors.

The best part about this strategy is that irrespective of statistics these keywords are always searched for using Google. Find an appropriate keyword and do some on-page seo and rank high for that keyword: this is way too easier than you think. You can rank high for many long-tail keywords which can promise you at least ten visitors per new post you write.

Keywords tool are not free and keyword analysis is absolutely necessary to get some real traffic to your site. This is basic common-sense trick and can be easily followed for finding keywords with very little competition. Target the right keyword and maintain a good keyword density and you can increase your site traffic within a month or two.

Using Links In Comments Can Hurt Blog Traffic

2013-09-24T21:38:00.001-07:00

If you have submitted your comments to blogs of your niche and have included a URL of your blog post in it, then be sure that you can get into trouble. Google does not like such links and considers them to be spam. Even the webmasters will consider these comments unworthy and delete them. You are simply wasting your time all around the web trying to impress Google and on the contrary you are abusing the search engine.

There are many Google blogs written by bloggers which got banned and were deleted from the servers because of commenting on other blogs and including URL's in the comments section. Comments section is for leaving comments. Only the main URL of your blog may be included in the URL section else you are just ending up troubling yourself and your hours of hard work.

Blogging success depends more on writing posts than on link building. Please take a look at Matthew Cutts's blog if you want to understand how to build a successful blog. He works with Google and knows exactly what can make his blog a great success. And, if I am not wrong we all should also be employing the same strategy to see our blogs in the first page of Google.

Any blog with over a 1000 well written meaningful blog posts will never end up without back-links. Back-links are meaningless if asked for. They have to be gifted to you. You need to push your posts up in the search index of Google and that happens every-time the Google bot comes to your blog. And that happens only when you have something fresh to be given to Google.

You should also remember not to kill your blog with anything senseless which may make Google doubt your genuineness. Too much of content in a short time will make anyone suspect its source. And such also is the case when it comes to too many links created in a very short time. A day will come when your post will go viral. Till then you have to see the spikes and make yourself happy with your progress though it may look slow.

Moreover if you use links in the comments section you are also disturbing the readers of the blog. Comments are nonsense if they are promoting your blog on some other blog. The comments section is not a free marketing space where you throw the URL of your blog as if it is a free space for putting up advertisements. This is exactly the reason why Google was forced to introduce the no-follow tag. Please be careful with whatever you do. The worst thing you could do to kill all your hard work is to put the URL as it is without any description tag. Understand hyperlinks and how to use them properly.

Using links in comments is a very cheap way of asking for link. If you are so desperate you should find various sites on the internet which can provide you exactly the thing which you want. But please do not ruin you work or others work with dirty comments which pass link to your site. Everyone hates it and moreover it does more harm to you than good. The worse you may do is to get your site permanently banned! So use the comments section wisely and put only the main URL of your site in the section which is allotted particularly for that purpose.

Google Panda Effect | Getting Google Traffic After Panda Update

2011-12-22T19:48:00.000-08:00

Google Panda effect and traffic change

Google Panda's effect on traffic has been feared by many webmasters. Google Panda has created havoc up to such an extent that many webmasters are thinking that it has changed all the SEO ranking factors of Google. Google Panda is a major change in the Google algorithm and has changed the way Google worked a few months ago. If Panda was really so harsh then why are the traffic guys and SEO experts still successfully getting high traffic irrespective of the changes made by Google in its algorithm.

Google Page Rank still exists!

Google Panda is not a completely different algorithm. Google still has the page-rank concept. Google became popular because of its page-rank concept and hence it is a trademark of the Google search engine. But the truth of the trade is: Google or any other major search engine has to give preference to links for determining the authority of any website. There are still many weaknesses that Google has despite its Panda update which it claims will change the way internet worked till today.

Google's Panda has artificial intelligence:

What has really changed with the Google Panda is the ways things work at the human level. A search engine understands only maths according to the SEO experts: Google Panda is a step ahead: it has some artificial intelligence simulation codes. Google Panda has a different math. It is the high scorer who ranks high and this fact can never be changed. Google Panda is still an algorithm and it can also be be-fooled very easily.

What is the artificial intelligence part of Google Panda? We know that Google checked for so many things before ranking us in their search engine. With Google Panda Google will now see the human behavior of people visiting a website. Let us say that many people search for some term on Google and there are many sites which are giving useless content: Google Panda will bring all the junk content down by seeing the amount of time the visitors will be spending on the blog.

Google Panda is more about the human behavior than the links part. The bitter part of the fact that we have to face is that Google still asks for links in order to rank your site high in its search engine. Once you reach the top it is the job of Google Panda part to decide whether you should stay there for a longer time or not. Sites that were frequently updated used to get a traffic boost with every new post they posted on their blog.

Google SEO rules are working well

Google Panda is something very different but the SEO factors never change: add fresh content, build links and so many other things which we normally did to get good high traffic to our bog is working even today. Article marketing is not dead, there are still so many article marketers who are exploiting Google even today. Google Panda would definitely like to see one more thing: lot of content on your site. What Google Panda has best done till date is: it has punished webmasters for adding duplicate content on their site.

Google Panda was a very necessary update for Google in order to reach its goal. But with so many webmasters fighting in the trade the winners will always stay winners. The more tight the filters of Google become it is the poor newbies who suffer and not the guys who have been playing the Google domination tricks since a long time. There is one more interesting update to the Google algorithm which will love to see only fresh content. Most of the sites blogging about sports, socks, etc. which change too often need an updated result every time and hence Google added this feature along with its Panda algorithm.

Google Panda effect on fresh content blogs

Google's Panda loves content and not thin bamboo twigs! Despite the Panda update Google has to love content. Google has always respected content and Google Panda has no side-effect on this fact. Google Panda loves sites with good original content added to it all the time. Google Panda algorithm is making sites like Digg and Facebook rank higher in the search engines because they are updated too often. Google has said only one SEO technique to the whole world: good quality content. Google Panda's effect on the link building part has to be appreciated though. The earlier methods of link building and coming to the top of Google search results is no longer working now. Google Panda effect on traffic and SEO has made all the software developers and webmasters involved to create new database of links which are not busted by Google and are pretty new. Google Panda is demanding lots and lots of fresh content to show your blog some real high quick traffic!

Is Article Marketing Dead

2011-12-22T19:42:00.000-08:00

Article marketing is dead is the talk of the day. The fact is: those who have not tried article marketing are saying these things! Article marketing never died and it never will die. It lived, is living and it always will live. Article marketing is boring hence it is outsourced by many webmasters. Article marketing is a very important SEO technique which when followed properly can make you a master of the trade.

With the Panda update webmasters think that Google has changed. Google never changes even with its algorithms. Sites with quality content will always rank high. The trick is that article marketing is not so simple as submitting a single article to multiple article directories. If you want thousands of visitor it makes no sense in saying that people should simply come to your site because it is your site. You have to work hard for it. You have to fight the battle with almost a million webmasters every time you write a new article on your blog.

Article marketing is not about writing an article and submitting it to hundreds of article directories. Google is interested in original articles. As most of the articles on the article directories were fake articles, Google never bothered ranking high in its search results. This proves the fact that Google has nothing to do with the Google PR which the SEO experts boast about. If Google PR was so important then sites like Squidoo would rank high for every article they had on their high PR site.

Link juice is passed to your articles only through the article directories which make it possible for you to optimize your blog and rank high for every term on the internet. There is no other link building method as effective as the article marketing method. Forty links from forty article directories made me rank high for a niche which I have not lost till now. Article marketing can never be dead. Honestly speaking article marketing is so far the most effective marketing method to get to the first page of Google.

A well equipped article marketer is like a one man army and this fact cannot be challenged. If there is any competition that I would be afraid of, it has to be a great article marketer. The power of article marketing can only and only be felt if you know how to write unique articles. Writing articles fast and quick is a very different art and is worth to be learned if you want to be a successful internet marketer. Google still loves Ezine articles and there are many webmasters who are still witnessing this fact even after the recent Google Panda update. Article marketing will never die.

How To Get Regular Visitors

2011-12-13T01:22:00.000-08:00

Getting regular visitors is a must have for getting success in the blogging field. Getting regular visitors needs a convincing language and a great blog which is so interactive that the reader should get the feeling that the blogger is sitting right in front of him and explaining things step-by-step in great detail. This is quite difficult if you are a newbie blogger. When the traffic from the search engine stops it is the regular visitors who save your blog and give you inspiration for writing further thus supporting you and your blog with regular daily traffic which you need not worry about.

Getting daily regular visitors to your blog requires you to have a focused mind. You need to be sharp to give your readers all that they possibly could expect from your blog. To build regular visitors you need to have a blog which is something more than special. It takes a little bit of brain work to build regular visitors to your site. The trick is to give your visitors something different and much interesting every time they come to your blog.

What is the use of a blog if it is not updated regularly. Do not let your blog die: keep frequently updating the content of your blog. Posting content often on your site or blog is a very good way to get quick links to your site from sites which love live blogs which keep on updating their content too often. There are many blog directories which give you link after seeing how active your site is on the internet!

Your blog needs to be interactive or else it simply is not capable of being called a blog. Blogging for success is a secondary mission. Blogging for fun and education is the right way to create a blog which can attract regular visitors. A teacher is also a learner in the same way a Blogger should be ready to go all around the web collecting information and updating the same on his blog. People always love to read something new. And that is what a blogger should be willing to do: give them new information.

Generally it has been observed that the 'how to' blogs and posts get pretty high traffic as the search engines and the regular readers tend to use it a lot in their search queries. Blogs are a great source of information which is very easily available to the readers. This is one reason why people turn to blogs whenever they need any information on the web.

Blogs are like dictionaries: search anything and it is explained in a few sentences! Keeping you blog posts short is also important so that you readers can stay on your blog for a long time. Not just that but they will also be able to go through other related content very quickly thus giving you a good CTR and also giving you a good database of regular blog visitors.

Various Factors Google Considers Before Ranking Your Blog Or Webpage

2011-12-05T18:37:00.001-08:00

There are many factors Google takes into consideration before ranking your blog in its search results. Of all these factors, keywords, links and the age of your site play a major and important role. Google probably uses the concept of fuzzy logic and comes to a final number after calculating all the major factors which it needs to consider before ranking a site or a webpage in its search results. Here is a list of all the factors I have discovered so far which Google checks for at your blog.

Age Of you blog. We all know that older blogs are considered to be more mature by Google. Even if they do not get updated Google constantly sends traffic to them even if they have less PR.
On-page optimization factors: how many keywords you have used, your title, your post body, the URL of the post and also the main title of your blog.
Off-page optimization factors: how many links are pointing to your site. Human behavior of the visitors of your blog. Though link building is not working it still allows you to safely upload links to your recent post to be updated on 3-4 social bookmarking sites.
How much time your visitor spends on your blog. That is what Google says but I do not find this having a major impact on many sites' Google traffic.
The reaction of the visitor after they reach your site: do they click ads or do they click other links to find more information or if they have stopped searching and are finding your site to be a site of authority.
Did the visitor bounce back to the Google results to search for more information? Google wants to see if your blog post has quenched the thirst for information that its visitor had. If that is not the case, Google considers that your post still has to improve.
This is an important one: the Google Page Rank of your site. After all, Google became well established because of its Page Rank concept which will decide whether a site is an authority site or not.
How often is the content of your blog changing? The more the content gets uploaded the more Google will start searching for your site.
Original high quality content. I always wondered why Matt Cutts used to write posts about growing beard and doing different things in the next 30 days! The reason is: that is original content. It might have nothing to do with his blog but he knows that no other intelligent fool is doing the same thing.
The authority of the sites which are linking to your main page. The Google PR of the sites linking to you.
The number of links on the indexed page and the number of indexed pages of your site.
How frequently are the links coming to your site. A few years back a few links were sufficient to get some Google traffic. It is not so at least in the present situation.
The total number of posts on your site.
How good is the linking structure of your site.
How good is the navigation of your site and how far the home page is from every other page on your site.
Do you have labels on your site? This is considered to be a good way of systematically arranging the data of your site.
How long has the post been existing in its database. This is very important, old posts can be called as mature and can be trusted to be having good high quality content.
Have you given links to other useful sites in your niche?
Your geographical location and also the location of the visitors of your site!
How many ads you have on your page and so on.
The sitemap of your blog.

That is not all there are at least a few hundred more. Google also tracks the various others traffic sources from where you site gets traffic! How active are you in your blogging community? Have you commented on other blogs? Not just that but Google also wants to see your social network of friends on the social networking sites! With a decade of emancipation and evolution the algorithm has got smarter than before and of course not to forget the fact the now Google wants AI (artificial intelligence) to be simulated in its algorithm so that the robot behaves more like a human being and gives more accurate results. List out the other factors that you think Google considers before ranking your site in the comments section.

I Have Quality Content Yet No Traffic Why

2011-12-04T06:33:00.001-08:00

Your blog is having high quality content and yet it does not have traffic, ever wondered why? Good content according to humans and good content according to Google has a very big difference. Google always loves hot and fresh news. It does not like to read the same topic twice. And that is what happens: we say we write high quality unique content yet Google does not look at it in the same manner.

To humans anything with some new information is unique content. To Google a topic which does not have repeating keywords is high content. Two posts may look very different from the human intelligence point of view. Google is an AI or an artificial intelligence simulation program which is built using only math and algorithm. Hence Google has presently used the +1 button to see what humans think about the site they have entered.

This is what happens when Google sees two topics: main keyword of the site, primary keyword of the topic and the secondary keyword of the topic. Maximum matching found: this is a duplicate (that is what Google says)? Next Google will see which one is written first and finally Google will see which one has maximum links pointing towards it. And trust me all this happens and then the algorithm sees the human behavior which includes time on site, bounce rate and a lot of horrible things which we have no control over. And of-course the on-page optimization factors also play a very great part which can impress Google.

Finally when all these tests are passed by your site it decides whether your site should be included on the first few pages of its algorithm. Honestly speaking, you are somewhere if you are on the first 100 results. Else you are nowhere and there is no way you will get to the top at least with the present site that you are working on. Hence, to Google it is all points basis for determining which site should get to the top of Google. The higher marks you get the higher will be your rank: simple high school method of deciding which kid is smart and has original ideas and which kid is copying and trying to pass the examination with better marks!

Why Am I Not Getting Traffic Yet?

2011-12-04T06:08:00.001-08:00

Why are you still away from traffic success. Getting high traffic is not as easy as it was a few years before. Google has changed it algorithm and has definitely made it much difficult for webmasters to get high traffic easily. After all almost every neighbor has a blog today. Blogger blogs have been very famous for their simple outlook and easy to build features. In fact it is so good at it that even a novice on the road person can build a blog today very easily.

Blogs need to keep changing all the time. It is very difficult to have a blog with a few pages blindly put up expecting traffic. Coming on the first three organic results is very essential if you want to get some serious traffic. Once you are on the top for a search phrase you will get the traffic part slowly slowly. There are many reasons why you do not get much traffic to your site:

Newly built site takes at least six months to well establish itself. If your site is new you need to wait.
There might not be sufficient links pointing to your site. Even if you have a few links, they may be NoFollow links which are not passing link juice.
Google PR never decides the traffic or the Google ranking of your site. I can prove that if you want. There are many bloggers having a PR 0 site showing up in the top three positions on Google.
SEO is definitely one thing which can never be overlooked if you are not getting traffic. Some say it is very easy some say it is difficult. The fact is if you are smart it is easy. On-page optimization itself eats up so much time and hell even if you get the on-page elements right there is still a lot more to do to get the post to the top position on Google.
People might not be sticking to your site. If there are visitors who stay for a few minutes on your site and also increase the CTR of your site Google will have to respect this fact and give you a good standing in its database. Human behavior is always checked by Google robots. If the visitors are doing good your site will also do good.
Duplicate content is one reason why sites do not rank well. Let me tell you even if you have written a site all by yourself Google does not know that: it understands primary, secondary and tertiary keywords if they match you are out of the top three.
You might be giving link to a site which is not a good neighbor. Link only to those sites which belong to your category.
Read Matt Cutts blog. There is nothing too special on it and yet it gets great traffic: original content is what played the trick in his case.
You site might not yet be complete. Complete your site first and then look for bringing traffic. There are many bloggers with 500 posts on their blog. Break the gate with 1000 posts and the traffic will have to flow.

Google Traffic Not Coming

2011-12-03T08:17:00.001-08:00

Many bloggers might have observed a change in some behavior related with the search engines. With new copied content Google will not bring traffic to your site. The previous sentence was true but not completely true. Google gives us all a hint and then it is not bothered to see what the webmasters are doing. There is a new task to get traffic from the Google organic search.

Recently there has been a very good change implemented by Google in its algorithm: no high ranking be given to two people writing the same content. So all you webmasters out there who have scraped content off the internet Google is not going to turn back to take a look at you. Google wants original content meaning a site which has topics which no other site has and which is unique from top to the bottom.

Google is bent upon punishing the criminals but the innocent may also be put behind the bars in the same process. This has happened many a time with many people and hence they all say: we don't want Google! Google just tries to get better which is a real pain for the webmasters as they cannot live up to the sudden changes taking place in the Google algorithms. The best part Google never speaks what is happening behind the bars. It is clear: Google wants only content now: good high quality unique content. If you do not have original brain find something else.

There is one thing too common in the search engine market: Google changes something, all others search engines follow. But not on this one: Google is best at this with so many Engineers struggling to make the web a better place. Long time bloggers are always winning their tortoise races. There are so many new things which the webmasters write and they are now getting the reward for what they have done so far. Let us hope that at least now the SEO heat will come down.

DoFollow And NoFollow

2011-12-03T07:44:00.001-08:00

What is the great difference between this DoFollow and NoFollow links? There are a few technical things I will be dealing with in this post to make a clear difference between DoFollow and NoFollow links. When the whole web was cluttered with links that people did not want to publish in their comments section Google came with the reliability of links issue and brought a solution to the above problem through a simple HTML code which stated the reliability of a link as DoFollow and NoFollow.

Coming to the technical part. After years of SEO research I have found that both the DoFollow and NoFollow links have their own place to stay on the web. You want your links to be all around the web for the purpose of publicity. A blog is a medium of building a network of people with similar interests and a blog has some meaning when it has links in it to make the post interactive. But a link is also a vote and you should not be forced to vote someone. If I give a DoFollow to a site which is crooked with Google I will also fall in the same gutter and get myself dirty. Technically speaking the difference between the two is that one passes link juice the other does not. That is do links give you PR boost and no links don't.

Hence to keep yourself clean you need to use the NoFollow attribute so that no one drags you down into the dirty dungeons. A blog is worth a lifetime and getting it killed is like killing yourself for no valid reason. Hence it is very difficult to get DoFollow links anywhere on the web. Only outdated sites which are still getting traffic may give one. There are many webmasters who are searching for the links passing the juice but they are very hard to find with so much of fuss going on about DoFollow and NoFollow.

How To Use Google Analytics To Get Traffic

2011-12-02T20:50:00.001-08:00

What is the use of Google Analytics: it is free and it is very helpful in bringing traffic to your site. There are many things in Google Analytics which when seen properly give you a proper insight into what will work best for your blog in getting targeted traffic. The main reason why people use Google Analytics is because it is built by Google which has the largest web traffic among all the search engines of the world. There are a few issues with Google Analytics some of which are fixed and some not yet when it comes to SEO and building the site traffic through the search engine rankings this mighty King rules. Let me remind you that Google Analytics is used by almost around 80% of the webmasters population including some great sites like our favorite Twitter. Google Analytics when combined with the results of Google Webmaster Tools can help you a lot with the SEO of your site and help you to get some very good traffic from the search engines.

What is the use of Google Analytics: after all, all the traffic reports I see on it look fake and unreal. It is not also real time traffic that it shows to me: even then why Google Analytics. Believe it or not, Google Analytics is seldom used to take a look at the visitors coming to your site. Instead many webmasters use it to track where the traffic is coming from. To add to the tensions of the Bloggers the Analytics report never includes the crawlers coming to your site in its traffic report and hence it kind of assures you that all the visitors that it is showing are the real human visitors that are coming to your site! But, there is a lot more to this useful piece of software which is very clever and when used cleverly can make you the search engine traffic king!

Google as we all know gives a lot of free services so that it can keep a track of all its customers and their behavior on the sites of the webmasters. It just wants to see what works on the web, what is the favorite of the people on the web, what are people searching for, and, who are the ones who are giving people what they actually want: information and entertainment. Google Analytics is not a simple HTML code: if you have some idea about programming the code of Google Analytics is a JavaScript code and this code works very different from a simple piece of HTML code. If you put Analytics on your site and load the site you will be able to see the rapport going on with Google in the background which is making your pages load slowly. This is probably one issue which troubles the webmasters because people with slower internet connections do not have that patience and hence they lose some traffic due to this fact. Even then people do keep Google Analytics on their site because it is free and it has a lot of information given on it which the webmasters needs.

We all know how hard it is to get some traffic from the search engines if not much: here is where Google Analytics comes into play. No wonder other traffic trackers can also do that but this one is exceptionally special for it comes directly from Google. It is not necessary that if you are not getting traffic from the search engines then you are not getting any traffic at all! Even then the traffic from search engines is special because people here get what they wanted by putting a search phrase up and telling Google to fetch the results. There are people who may claim that Google uses this data for improving its search results but hey, who cares after all we are getting a top class software for free! There are a few things in Google Analytics which when pondered over tells you about your site performance and also tells you about your site competition.

The search traffic and the search keywords used by your visitors to get to your site is accurately shown by the search engines. Recently Google Analytics gave me a report that someone was searching for my URL in its search index: could be a competitor trying to see my SEO status or the links to my site or anything. but, I at least know that someone is watching my back. The other useful part is that you know the strength of your blog as Google Analytics tells you what according to Google are the main primary keywords of your blog. This also tells you the search phrases for which your site will rank tremendously high. To me this is a very useful information to get initial traffic to my site. Once the blog reaches a certain level, then whatever you do will come on the first page of Google: and I have seen this in my research. Google Analytics tells you all that Google thinks about your site and hence we can say that Google has leaked the traffic secret of every site in the Google Analytics report of that site.

Google Analytics also gives you a report of the different countries from where people came to your blog and also the operating systems and the browsers they used to get to your blog. With every SEO technique implemented you should find the reflection of the thoughts of Mr. Google in Google Analytics. This tool has been very helpful to me in my SEO research and has proved things on the practical platform. Every powerful SEO geek will always check these two sites before thinking of bringing changes in his SEO strategy: Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools. Though the sites are different they both combine to give your site or blog a strong SEO foundation and a solid traffic gaining idea. According to my experience it is not the book-worm which wins the traffic race, it needs a practical brain and a good sound subjective knowledge which wins in getting the high traffic. Books give you the idea and Google Analytics gives you the practical application part. Google Analytics is a very good traffic analysis tool.

How To Get Traffic Without SEO

2011-12-01T22:15:00.001-08:00

Getting high traffic without SEO requires a different traffic building technique which is not so difficult to achieve. There are so many things in SEO that many webmasters are now looking forth for finding ways using which they can get some quick traffic to their site without all the SEO business. Getting traffic without SEO clearly points to one thing: the source of traffic will not be the search engines. You are looking for getting traffic without SEO because SEO did not help you in coming to the top page of Google or either because you find SEO too difficult to follow.

There however is one very good method using which you can get some good high traffic to your site using the search engine without doing any of the SEO stuff, is there? There is and the technique is to write and write and write and write a lot of articles. Getting high traffic with a few posts sounds great no doubt but that demands a good SEO profile and a clean page which is absolutely Google friendly. To tell you the truth many successful blogs are just successful because of their content and no because of their SEO. To put a lot of content into play you need writers or do the writing yourself. The only thing is that the quality of the content should never die. The more you update the content of your blog the more will Google come searching for the updates and the higher will be the traffic you will get from the search engines.

Google has presently changed its algorithm in such a way that it will put sites with fresh content on the top of Google organic search. But hey, can you write so much as to outdo a blog which is handled by a couple of writers? No you can't unless you are some kind of a literature expert so that you have something always stuffed in your mind to throw it on your blog. People want serious information filled high quality content to read. You can play with Google but not with the visitors of your blog. They need you to know something and they turn to the web to get some information and they land to your site to find some serious important information. If you give it to them once they will return to your site time and again. So original high quality content is definitely the best possible way of getting high traffic to your site even without the SEO efforts put into it.

Social networking sites are a very good source of bringing some good high traffic to your site without any SEO efforts. Many people get confused and start using all the available social networking sites to try and get some traffic from all the sites. The fact is that you need only one social networking site to get the necessary traffic that you need to your site. If you are bad at SEO or if you hate SEO you have no other way out but to use this way to get to the targeted visitors who are searching for information on the web. Why social networking sites: because next to the search engines they are the ones which are having some very serious traffic on the web. Every social networking site has millions if not thousands of millions of visitors in its database. To give you a quick start I would recommend Facebook or Twitter go to any of the two sites, create an account, add friends, throw link, comment on other members content, again add friends and keep on alerting everyone of the changes on your blog. Here the only way of promoting your blog is the content quality and the information that you are giving.

There is definitely one more method for getting good high traffic to your blog without SEO: article directories. For every article you write on your blog you need to use the article directories and submit articles to them with the link of your site beneath the article. This will give you ten to fifty page-views on the very first day. If the article ranks first on the organic search results (which actually they never do I will tell you why) you will be lucky to get traffic extracts to your site every time somebody reads your article. Many serious bloggers never stick to this technique for two reasons: 1. It takes time and is boring 2. Why write for others? Coming to the part why the articles do not rank well in the search engines. A typical article directory will have at least fifty posts to be posted in it every hour if it is very popular. They are not bothered about SEO for they have lot of content and lot of readers who want original content on their site which they will be searching for in the article directories. In order to avoid getting bad impressions from search engines and the readers as well the article directories have a specific set of rules which their algorithm checks for. The minus point is that the search engines will not ever clearly understand what the post is about unless it gives importance only to the title in such cases. Hence this is also a good technique to get some extra traffic and links from the web.

One of the main reasons why people search for ways that they can get traffic from without doing SEO is because they do not know how to get links which is the toughest part of SEO. SEO consists of so many on-page optimization factors which if taken care of properly will get you only half way through to the goal of coming first in the top organic search results. The remaining fifty percent depends on the link building. I was once tricked when I optimized one of my sites with proper SEO techniques and ranked high for a term which never got much search traffic and all my SEO efforts were wasted. This is exactly one of the reasons why people have lost faith in getting traffic from SEO and hence they have started searching for ways using which they can get traffic to their site without doing the SEO stuff. Getting traffic without SEO and getting traffic with SEO both need the same determination and are equally difficult if you do not have a good convincing article which becomes viral without much efforts. Please use the comments section to tell people about the various ways that you use to get traffic to your site without SEO.

Can On-Page Optimization Bring Traffic

2011-11-30T02:05:00.001-08:00

On-page optimization is the easiest way to optimize your blog and to get some smooth traffic flowing to your site for a longer time. The question is how effective is on-page optimization in bringing traffic to your blog? On-page optimization might be a long time factor and if used properly can definitely bring some decent traffic to your site which is far more better than sites not having proper on-page optimization.

Google may claim anything but what it says in most of the cases is far away from the truth. We all know that the Google algorithm is not perfect. That is where the experts use Google to drive high traffic to their sites. And one of the biggest truth on this earth is that traffic getting webmasters are least bothered about the on-page optimization factors. Does that render on-page optimization useless? After all they are getting traffic even after neglecting so many on-page optimization things.

There are two truths that you need to know: on-page optimization brings traffic, off-page optimization rules Google. Google loves back-links and several other off-page stuff. Google believes that off-page optimization is an outcome of what the people all around the web. A site gets a few quick links Google thinks it is a very great site. Google is an algorithm and does not understand much of human intelligence so it depends on human intelligence to give weight-age to a web-page and rank it in its database. The only on-page optimization parameter that matters at all to Google is the keyword density and the various on-page factors that you use to tell Google what you page is actually about.

On-page optimization is effective in bringing traffic but it also has many drawbacks. One of the biggest drawback is that it does not have much hold on Google and can in no way tell Google about the quality of the page. The quality of the page is determined by the off-page optimization factors. The most important factor that Google takes into account before judging any article is the number of links pointing towards it. Hence it is the links which are solely responsible for bringing higher traffic to your site and not the on-page optimization factors.

Using Images To Get Traffic

2011-11-30T01:43:00.001-08:00

If you have used images on your site you might have seen traffic coming to you site from these images. It is a very easy way of getting traffic from the Google images site. I will tell you how to get a handful of traffic from the Google images site but before that get a few quick photographs of things related to your blog. There is also a very good image below to illustrate the fact that images can be very useful in entertaining your visitors.

Images are worth a thousand words and we all know it. Instead of speaking about poverty if we see a few photographs of poor people we understand the idea much better as there are emotions stuffed in every photograph. All that you need to get some traffic from your site through images is a normal camera. A mobile camera would also be helpful if you do not have a high quality camera. Generally high quality photographs are very catchy but they take a lot of time to load on pages.

The formats of the photographs which are very popular on the internet are the jpeg, jpg, png and bmp formats. Using image dithering is a good idea for it will load a low quality photograph and slowly load the full clear photograph of a higher quality. Now you just need to do one more thing: tell the search engines what the photograph is about by giving it a proper title. You can also use captions which will get activated when someone hovers their mouse over the photograph. What if this will give you a really very high traffic. If it gives you a really high traffic then....

Rules Violation On A High Traffic Road

Every webmaster is now making continued efforts to get high traffic to his/her blog.

When Does A Blog Get High Traffic

2011-11-29T22:15:00.001-08:00

When does a blog get high traffic through the search engines. This is a very common question in the blogging community. There are bloggers who have been running blogs since the past few years and yet have not seen success in getting the high traffic. many bloggers have stopped blogging after they came to know that getting a few thousand visitors is extremely important to make some quick money from the blog. A blog will get high traffic if it has enough links or a lot of posts which come first in the search results of Google.

Is there any formula for getting high traffic? After all why are so many people blogging to make money and why are so few extremely successful in making a successful blog and make money out of it. It is true that high traffic is needed to have online success but how is the high traffic obtained? What is the secret behind the scenes. We all feel that all the successful bloggers hide their success secrets, but the secret is that there is no secret to get high traffic to your blog.

There are only a few things which determine your success in the blogging field: the number of posts, the number of links, the site structure, all the SEO part and of course content. It is not about coming first on Google it is about how many people are searching for what you have written on your blog. Somebody does a lot of hard work and tops Google for a search term and finally comes to know that the search term is not at all getting any traffic. And this just means that all his effort to get success and make some money from his blog is now of no use.

Smart people do not do different things, they do things differently and that is what happens with the SEO experts. They know a few tricks and hence they dominate Google for any search term which they feel like dominating. But the actual fact is: success has meaning when the blog gets to serve the main purpose of its creation: sharing valuable content and ideas. Writing high value content is the best possible way to make quick success in the blogging field. If you have this one criterion then your visitors will promote you blog and make it successful automatically thus bringing you even more search engine traffic.

Why Is My Blog Not Making Me Money

2011-11-29T21:50:00.001-08:00

Why is your blog not yet making you money? There are many reasons but the true reason is: your blog is not yet complete. Writing a few posts and getting a few unique visitors is something which even a normal kid can do if taught to do so. There are many websites put there which publish blogs of note or blog of the day. Till your blog reaches there you cannot claim to have a complete blog. You are having an incomplete blog and hence you are not being able to make money out of it.

How do the SEO experts do it? They never bother about the money. They will build the blog completely do the SEO and then they will let the search engine bring traffic to their site. The money making process is the last in their list. Blogs which make money even without getting updated do exist but they are the outcome of sheer hard work or sheer luck both of which are extremely necessary for building a high quality blog which will make you money.

Where is the traffic? This is the main reason why you are not making money online. People having a couple thousands of unique visitors are the ones who can at least think of making some money. On average a blog gets around a few dollars for every thousand visitors coming to it. With such a competition do you think that you are fit for the race. If not either gear up or leave it. There is no shortcut for success at least in this case.

Is the SEO good? Have you done the SEO part yourself or have you let someone else do the SEO part for you? If somebody else has done the SEO for your site then it is better that you take a look into what he has done for you. According to me the best way of making sure that the SEO of your site is running smoothly it is best to be done by after all it is not so difficult to learn.

Are there bloggers who get money success within a month? There are people who definitely get their success within a month. they are blogging experts and know the in and out of the SEO technology and the search engines. An expert blogger can write nearly 35-45 posts per day! If you are slow, your blog will also move slowly. If you are fast, the blog will also move pretty fast. Know it or not but there are many posts which just come first in the search engines for some search term.

Where are the ads? Ad placement is also one of the most important factor to be taken into consideration. Do some research and see which ad works best at what place. It is best to have targeted ads on your page. If you are not getting targeted ads then better change the ad program that you are using. Do some research on the behavior of your blog visitors and you will know how a few changes will create changes in the income from your blog.

Getting targeted traffic is the most important point when it comes to making some money from your blog. It is very necessary that you should be an expert in the blog industry and should have such a brain that even a new blog should stand in the middle of the crowd and attract the attention of the search engines. It is the visitors who come to your blog who have everything in their hands. You just need to help them come to your site and the rest is taken care of by them. Earning from your blog is very easy if you are getting good traffic to your blog everyday. One more suggestion is to increase the number of blogs so that the number of pages will increase and your chances of earning from your blog will also increase.

How To Build A High Quality Blog

2011-11-29T20:29:00.001-08:00

What is a high quality blog according to Google? A high quality blog according to Google may not be considered to be a high quality blog by the visitors of that blog and vice-versa. Let us discuss this high quality concept and come to a decision to make a blog which is considered to be a high quality blog by both the search engines as well as the visitors who will be visiting your blog. Generally it is better that a blog should be considered to be of high quality by both its visitors as well as the search engines.

Let us first see why content is King. It is a well known fact that a very fat book has much more knowledge about a particular topic as compared to a book with a very few pages. Similarly a blog with lot of content means that it has everything for every visitor who is landing on the blog. Google definitely does not want to see a blog with a single post standing on top of its organic search results. It wants its users to be happy when they visit a site which is recommended to them by their favorite search engine: Google.

Now coming to the search engine and what it will consider to be a great blog. A search engine does not understand emotions nor does it understand literature and its effect on the human mind. Hence a search engine directly or indirectly has to depend on the human readers to make sure that the right blog is making up to its top results and hence it tracks a few visitor behaviors to see how the visitor liked the blog. One such factor is the time the user spends and the other factor being: does this visitor recommend this blog to his blog visitors? Hence Google depends on links to make sure that the most popular blog which is having the largest amount of links pointing to it is ranking first in the organic search results.

A high quality blog will not have keywords all around the place making it difficult for the visitor to read the blog. Google makes sure of all these things and hence keyword trick is successful if the limit is understood and this is exactly what the high quality blog refers to. A blog should not be specifically designed for the search engines. Instead it should be designed in such a manner that both the visitors and the search engines will consider it to be of sufficient quality to deserve high quality targeted traffic.

SEO and all other things may get you more traffic but more links can be obtained only if you have a high quality blog. Blogs which are just thrown up on the internet are not recommended as they lack the high quality touch which is needed to make it more and more successful. The first and basic requirement to build a good high quality blog is to build the quality first and then make money when the high quality targeted traffic starts coming in. Blog is not a machine which makes you rich it is a means for you to share important information to the people who are searching for it all over the internet. When a blog is filled with such high quality content which suits the need of every person visiting it it will definitely come up with the image of high quality blog.

Pinging For High Traffic

2011-11-29T18:59:00.001-08:00

Pinging your site is the best way to get high traffic and it works very quickly. There are many pinging sites which are very helpful in bringing good high traffic to your site. There are advantages and also disadvantages of pinging. There are many sites which also send automatic ping requests just after you finish publishing your post bringing you sufficiently high traffic after every post.

Pinging is generally a service where there are several sites on the web which are waiting to have a few quick URL's in their main page for their visitors. When you ping the URL of your new post comes up on these sites and eventually as these sites are updated very quickly the crawler crawls them all the time to get fresh new content uploaded in the search engine database.

As soon as a crawler sees the URL of your site on any of these high quality sites it starts crawling your site and also bring some traffic along with it from the search engines. Usually webmasters who open new sites update the content too often and send pings to get the attention of the Google crawlers so that they can crawl their site as quickly as possible. New sites find this to be the only way that they can expect to get some quick traffic from the search engines.

There are many pinging services out there. Many people will prefer different pinging services but on my part I love Pingomatic and also Pingler for their great services. Pingler has now limited the number of times it sends pings to your blog hence it is good if you use Pingomatic after the free pings on Pingler are over. Pingler however pings your site to a huge number of services and hence is preferred by many bloggers. Both of them are good at what they do: ping your site to get high traffic quickly.
