how does social media affect SEO?

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Sat, 1 Jun 2013 23:09:00 -0700

Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Social media technologies take on many different forms including magazines, Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, social networks, podcasts, photographs or pictures, video, rating and social bookmarking.

Global usage

According to the article "The Emerging Role of Social Media in Political and Regime Change" by Rita Safranek, “The Middle East and North Africa region has one of the most youthful populations in the world, with people under 25 making up between 35-45% of the population in each country. They make up the majority of social media users, including about 17 million Facebook users, 25,000 Twitter accounts and 40,000 active blogs, according to the Arab Advisors Group.

SEO engineers have long suspected that social media elements have an impact on search engine result pages, with particular reference to Google and Bing. This suspicion was confirmed at the end of 2010. So we know that search engines are taking social media signals into account, but how can you use this information to improve your own social media.

Major Search Engines

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Thu, 30 May 2013 02:42:00 -0700

Web search engines work by storing information about many web pages, which they retrieve from the page's HTML. These pages are retrieved by a Web crawler (sometimes also known as a spider) — an automated Web browser which follows every link on the site. The site owner can make exclusions by using robots.txt. The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed (for example, words can be extracted from the titles, page content, headings, or special fields called meta tags). Data about web pages are stored in an index database for use in later queries. A query from a user can be a single word. The index helps find information relating to the query as quickly as possible.

A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may be a specialist in web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.

Search Engine Watch has been covering search engines since June 1997 and has watched the industry evolve to its current state. Over time, many search engines have come and gone, as users have spoken with their keyboards.

During early development of the web, there was a list of webservers edited by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on the CERN webserver. One historical snapshot from 1992 remains. As more webservers went online the central list could not keep up. On the NCSA site new servers were announced under the title "What's New!"

Most Web search engines are commercial ventures supported by advertising revenue and thus some of them allow advertisers to have their listings ranked higher in search results for a fee. Search engines that do not accept money for their search results make money by running search related ads alongside the regular search engine results. The search engines make money every time someone clicks on one of these ads.

If we see in the market of search engine, Google's worldwide market share peaked at 86.3% in April 2010. Yahoo!, Bing and other search engines are more popular in the US than in Europe. According to Hitwise, market share in the USA for October 2011 was Google 65.38%, Bing-powered (Bing and Yahoo!) 28.62%, and the remaining 66 search engines 6%. However, an Experian Hit wise report released in August 2011 gave the "success rate" of searches sampled in July. Over 80 percent of

Yahoo! and Bing searches resulted in the users visiting a web site, while Google's rate was just under 68 percent. In the People's Republic of China, Baidu held a 61.6% market share for web search in July 2009. In Russian Federation, Yandex holds around 60% of the market share as of April 2012.

Major Search Engines :

Google

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Together they own about 16 percent of its shares. Google is an American multinational corporation specializing in Internet-related services and products. These include search, cloud computing, software and online advertising technologies. Most of its profits derive from AdWords.

They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. An initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004. Its mission statement from the outset was "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful", and its unofficial slogan was "Don't be evil". In 2006 Google moved to headquarters in Mountain View, California.

The corporation has been estimated to run more than one million servers in data centers around the world and to process over one billion search requests and about twenty-four petabytes of user-generated data each day. In December 2012 Alexa listed google.com as the most visited website in the world. Numerous Google sites in other languages figure in the top one hundred, as do several other Google-owned sites such as YouTube and Blogger. Google ranks second in the BrandZ brand equity database. Its market dominance has led to criticism over issues including copyright, censorship, and privacy.

Yahoo

In January 1994, Yang and Filo were electrical engineering graduate students at Stanford University when they created a website named "Jerry's guide to the world wide web". David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web was a directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages. In March 1994, "David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" was renamed "Yahoo!" The "yahoo.com" domain was created on January 18, 1995.

Yahoo! was founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo in January 1994 and was incorporated on March 1, 1995. On July 16, 2012, former Google executive Marissa Mayer was named as Yahoo! CEO and President, effective July 17. Yahoo! Inc. is an American multinational internet corporation headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. It is widely known for its web portal, search engine Yahoo! Search, and related services, including Yahoo! Directory, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Groups, Yahoo! Answers, advertising, online mapping, video sharing, fantasy sports and its social media website. It is one of the most popular sites in the United States. According to news sources, roughly 700 million people visit Yahoo! websites every month. Yahoo! itself claims it attracts "more than half a billion consumers every month in more than 30 languages."

As of January 2010, Yahoo! held the world's largest market share in online display advertising. JP Morgan put the company’s US market share for display ads at 17%, well ahead of No. 2 Microsoft at 11% and AOL at 7%. In 2011, Yahoo lost the top spot to Facebook.

Bing

Bing (known previously as Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search) is a web search engine (advertised as a "decision engine") from Microsoft.

Bing was unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego for release on June 1. Notable changes include the listing of search suggestions while queries are entered and a list of related searches (called "Explore pane") based on semantic technology from Powerset which Microsoft purchased in 2008.

On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo! announced a deal in which Bing would power Yahoo! Search. All Yahoo! Search global customers and partners are expected to have made the transition by early 2012. In October 2011, Bing announced it was working on new back-end search infrastructure, with the goal of delivering faster and slightly more relevant search results for users. Known as "Tiger", the new index-serving technology has been incorporated into Bing globally, since August 2011. In May 2012, Bing announced another redesign of its search engine that includes "Sidebar", a social feature that searches users' social networks for information relevant to the search query.

MSN Search was a search engine by Microsoft that consisted of a search engine, index, and web crawler. MSN Search first launched in the third quarter of 1998 and used search results from Inktomi. In early 1999, MSN Search launched a version which displayed listings from Looksmart blended with results from Inktomi except for a short time in 1999 when results from AltaVista were used instead. Since then Microsoft upgraded MSN Search to provide its own self-built search engine results, the index of which was updated weekly and sometimes daily. The upgrade started as a beta program in November 2004, and came out of beta in February 2005. Image search was powered by a third party, Picsearch. The service also started providing its search results to other search engine portals in an effort to better compete in the market.

Search Engine List

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Wed, 1 May 2013 23:23:00 -0700

A search engine is a web site that collects and organizes content from all over the internet. Those wishing to locate something would enter a query about what they'd like to find and the engine provides links to content that matches what they want.

As regards real estate, millions of searches are done each day on mulitple search engines for search queries like "Atlanta real estate", or "atlanta ga real estate". The search engine returns results for real estate related sites and content for the Atlanta, GA area in this case. The sites are ranked by highly secret and complex formulas. These formulas are also changed frequently by the engines.

Though there are many who attempt to manipulate their sites to get higher placement in results, it's generally best to provide highly relevant real estate and area content and make it very useful for your site visitors. As all the engines are striving to be the most popular based on results that are closest to what the searcher is looking for, it can only be a good strategy to provide that relevant content.

Although search engines are programmed to rank websites based on their popularity and relevancy, empirical studies indicate various political, economic, and social biases in the information they provide.

The Importance of SEO

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 23:54:00 -0700

SEO means Search Engine Optimization, Before discuss the importance of SEO, we should know what is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

The plural of the abbreviation SEO can also refer to "search engine optimizers," those who provide SEO services.

The importance of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is given below :

First Steps to SEO/SEM Success

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Thu, 7 Mar 2013 04:18:00 -0800

First we should know SEO means Search Engine Optimization and SEM means Search Engine Marketing. Over 85%-90% of people use search engines to locate what they need on the web. So the importance of search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) is obvious to most. And with so much being written on the subjects, we figured the tactic was well understood. To our surprise, we've found the opposite.

In fact many of our clients have very little understanding of how to approach these two very important marketing vehicles. And a SEMPO study (Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization) reveals this confusion is far reaching. It reports that while four out of five companies engage in organic search engine optimization (SEO), only 11% of the $11 billion dollars spent in this area goes to SEO (totals include payments to search engines and search-related media companies, search engine marketing agencies and in-house expenditures in support of such programs).

The reason is obvious. Pay-per-click (PPC) search engine marketing is relatively easy—with immediate results that can be measured and tweaked. Organic search engine optimization is a long, never-ending process that takes a lot of thought, discipline, and effort.

Still, 11% is paltry. And, considering that most search activity results come from the organic links (over 70% of the overall clicks), it is also backwards.

Given this lack of understanding, we thought we'd share the first steps we think you should take with SEO/SEM:

1) Start with SEO. At this point you understand why, but the how may be what eludes you. This is not an "if you build it, they will come" type of scenario. This is heavy lifting work,there is just no way to sugar coat it. However, if you start with these areas you'll be well on your way.

Page Content- You must optimize every page on your site. This includes careful consideration of the page titles within the code, the page URL name itself, the header of the page, the body text, amongst other content points.

Press Releases- While press releases aren't what they once were to reporters, they are an excellent SEO vehicle. This is simply due to the access to Internet news portals the end user now has (Google News, etc.). So be sure to utilize this tool to drive traffic to your site.

2) Use SEM for Content Conversions. Pay-per-click (PPC) can be quite fruitful for driving traffic to your site particularly for content oriented offers. In fact for offers such as Article/white paper downloads or Site Registrations (for newsletters, etc.), SEM acutally outperforms SEO. For that reason, we recommend you first start your SEM efforts in this area. When choosing which engines to go with, certainly Google and Yahoo are the dominant players. Still MSN, AOL, and Ask Jeeves fall in line right behind them and should not be ignored.

SEO and SEM can be complicated, it's true. But if you start with an SEO focus and use SEM first in those areas where it outperforms SEO, you will find it much more relevant to your sales and marketing success.

Layout Can Impact your SEO

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Fri, 8 Feb 2013 11:38:00 -0800

Layout is the most important part and can impact for your SEO. When you are designing a Web page and you want it to be optimized for search engines, you need to set up the page content so that the most important parts of the document come first in the HTML.

Most important Layout which can impact your SEO are given below :

Search Engines Read HTML Linearly :

Search engine spiders crawl through your HTML and read it in the order that it's written in the page. Most search engines give a slightly higher priority to text that appears towards the beginning or top of the HTML document. This is because search engines do not have human instincts to recognize what parts of the page are the most important or most relevant.

Put the Most Important Content First :

When you build a Web page and optimize it for search engines, you want to put the most important content first in the HTML. This means things like navigation should come after your main content. The closer you can get your content to the <body> tag, the higher priority it will have in the search engines. But the problem is that getting your content first can be difficult with most layouts. For example, if you create a 2-column layout with navigation on the left - a very common layout - the navigation will, by necessity, appear first in the HTML in a table.

But with CSS, you can create a layout where the navigation appears to the left, but is in the HTML second.

Float Your Layouts :

The easiest way to create a layout that allows the content to be first, but the navigation column to be wherever you would like it - on the right or left - is to float the columns. Simply place your content in the first division of your HTML, and float that to the right. Then place your navigation in the second division of your HTML and float it to the left.

FREE Search Engine Submission

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Tue, 5 Feb 2013 00:38:00 -0800

Submit your URL to the search engines to promote your website for free.

Practically everyone who has access to Internet uses Google, Yahoo, or another popular search engine to browse the net and find extensive information in a matter of seconds. To get access to larger audience, you may submit your site to the most popular search engines and have them list your site in their search results for free.

The search engines return relevant search results in two categories: free and sponsored links. When you submit your site to a search engine, you fight for better position on the results list. It is very important to get listed among the first free results. They have better exposure than the sponsored links and generate much more traffic/visitors to your website.

How do the search engines display free results?

To be able to display relevant free search results, the search engines store a large database of information about millions of web pages. When you submit your URL to the search engine, you practically invite it to crawl your site and display your URL in relevant free search results.

Meaning & Types of SEO

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Mon, 4 Feb 2013 13:09:00 -0800

SEO definition stands for Search Engine Optimization. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

The plural of the abbreviation SEO can refer to "search engine optimizers," those who provide SEO service.

Three Types of SEO

SEO is a technique in which webmasters design a website such that, it gets good page ranking, and appears on top of the results when a query is made. It has been in existence from mid 90s and still is the hottest thing on Internet. Earlier search engines mainly relied on keywords that were in meta tag, it was very easy for the webmasters to manipulate the results. As time passed developments took place and search engines started to use complex algorithms to rate sites and determine page ranks.

In the same way SEO techniques also got complex. Now the condition is such that a lot of webmasters are earning their livelihood through this.

There are many ways of SEO which are broadly categorized into three parts:

THREE SEO Types

White Hat Techniques

Those websites which are optimized in accordance to rules and policies of search engines are said to be using White-Hat-Techniques or Ethical SEO. A website that is “optimized” yet have content relevant to queries and are genuine, a website that uses only natural backlinks which associate to similar content, a website that aims at human users and not search engines are said to be using White-Hat-Techniques. The most important benefit of White Hat Techniques is even if the SEO is stopped the quality of the content maintains the ranking of the website. The long term investors use this technique as it requires less optimization and more data management. White Hat Techniques use the consumer to get good positions and rankings.

Gray Hat Techniques

Gray being a shade in between white and black has properties of both colors. Gray Hat Techniques are those ways through which websites are optimized using tactics that don’t exactly follow the policies of search engines but somehow manage to escape from the eyes of algorithms. These may not be reliable as they are designed keeping in mind the present algorithm. Since there are updates every now and then, so in case of a data refresh the sites may be penalized cause gray is more black than white. Gray Hat techniques are not in much demand these days just because of its unreliability.

Black Hat Techniques

Most famous SEO type is the Black Hat one. More than 70% of SEO today is based on this only. These are the unofficial methods, which search engines strictly disapprove of. Once found guilty of Black Hat, the website may be blocked or severely penalized. The algorithms are made and updated keeping in view of these tactics. These are very aggressive and generally result in quick increase in page rank. But once SEO is stopped the ranking falls drastically. So, constant optimization is required. Black Hat Techniques are normally used by those who are looking for quick financial gain. Black Hat Techniques manipulate the search engine in order to get more human traffic.

Most Important On Page SEO Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Fri, 1 Feb 2013 10:17:00 -0800

In the present cut throat competitive age, getting Top ranking in the Search Engines is not that easy for many. Search Engines are getting faster and smarter day by day and there good content is not just enough to promote a website. Among all the aspects associated with a website promotion, on page optimization occupies the most important position. Here we discussed 10 Basic On Page SEO Tips.

On page optimization is one of the initial steps every professional should adopt in order to succeed in the rank achievement war in the search engines. In onpage optimization, SEO process should be performed in every part of a website.

Some of the major things to be done in onpage optimization are:

The first and foremost thing that needs to be clear that the type of website for which onpage SEO will be done and who are the target audience. According to these factors, on page SEO process should be started.

While purchasing a new domain and choosing a domain name, one should be very conscious. If the existing website is a few months aged then there is no need to go for a new domain, because the search engines consider the age factor of site when giving it a rank.

The website for which on page SEO optimization will be done should be easily understandable so that the people you are targeting get attracted towards the website and keep their attention on it.

Before starting the onpage SEO process, the concerned website should be evaluated in terms of its navigation structure, W3 capability and user friendliness.

Observing competitors is a vital step which should be followed before starting the on page SEO process. Through this process, it will come to the spotlight that what is working and what is not.

Keyword research is the most important aspect of on page SEO optimization process, because keywords are the primarily element to customise a website. More appropriate and focused will be the keywords; more prominent will be the onpage SEO.

After choosing the most appropriate keywords, an SEO professional needs to find a search engine friendly site map, which would help the search engines to index all the pages of the website.

Though now Google does not follow the keywords mentioned in the meta tags, but still there are certain search engines which follow the conventional way. That's why meta tags should be keyword rich and those keywords should appear in the website's body text.

All the major images of the website should be tagged so that they can come on the image search result on the search engines.

The keywords present in the website's content should be of proper density. If the density of the keywords get higher then it would treated as keyword stuffing and for doing so, the search engines may ban the website.

One of the most important steps of onpage SEO optimization is proper usage of keywords in the link anchor text. The anchor line should contain the maximum keywords relevant with the website. It has often been seen that despite of not having good content, some sites come in good rank and that's because of their keyword rich Anchor text.

How To Send Traffic To Your Website

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 10:55:00 -0800

Traffic Generation
Doing search engine optimization is not the only way to get traffic to your website but also if you find yourself on the front page of Google and other search engine whenever a keyword is searched it would mean more traffic generation for you. But it is not possible to know all the keyword to get on the first page. Even if you do, other big blogs do also know a way to get on top. You will definitely be competing with some big shot in your niche if you just starting or an intermediate blogger.

It will be a great idea to have an unending and a sure way of getting traffic to your website rather than doing search engine optimization that changes there rule every time. It will be okay not to be competing with big shot so that you can actually focus on your content and keyword to get traffic.

The way I got my consistent traffic is by having my blog address on so many places just as if having an advert on bill boards all over your state. Everyone gets to see it. Not like search engine where someone has to search before so many website try to compete to get on front page. You may wonder how that is possible and how will the visitors convert. Don't worry the interested visitors will convert because you will actually be showing your website to so many people everyday.

The Methods For Traffic Genration are AS Follows :

#1 Yahoo Answers: This is very fascinating answer platform. With Yahoo Anwsers, you can answer questions people are asking and direct them to your website. I like this platform because when just questions are ask, and someone else from somewhere needs answer to same question, they do a search and this question with answers people have given shows up in front page of most search result. If you have answered questions related to your niche and you direct people to your website for more details, then you can perceive how your traffic will flow for life here. Now it won't matter to do SEO because someone really interested in getting an answer will visit your website through that answer. Is just as your website comes on first page for every keyword search related to question you answered.

#2 Forum Posting: Like you know a forum consist of people of like mind. people ask questions, argue and most time introduce programs to each other. Here you can make a post about something interesting and relating to your niche with your signature driving them to your website to get more details. You can read How To Get Traffic From Forum To Your Website for better understanding of this.

#3 Guest Blogging: Doing post for other bloggers in your niche can help drive traffic to your website. You will have the opportunity to show your host audience your authenticity and authority in the subject matter. This will keep your traffic flowing as long as the post is good enough, the blog stays online and your host visitor are convinced you are knowledgeable in the area that matters to them. It's a mutual benefit anyway.

#4 Contacting Fellow Blogger in Your Niche: Connect with other bloggers in your niche and link to there post that are really good and can complement your post. One good turn deserves another so they would also do same for you.

#5 Email Address Signature: If you are someone that sends tons of email everyday or even one in a week. Insert your website address in your signature. Imagine a friend received your mail and love it because it was funny. He decided to forward it to another friend who do the same and so on. If you have your website in your signature, almost everyone will visit your website. That message will flow around and it will be viral.

#6 Social Networks: There are so many social networks online this days. join and connect with people in your niche. exchange ideas and exchange links. Show them what you have got and you will be surprise they link to you and give you unending visitors.

#7 Article Marketing: You could do articles for some ezine or article marketing company. You always have chance to send back visitors to your website with good articles. So many people are using this method to gain traffic. Is one of the oldest method and is still very much effective.

#8 Blog Directories: Have your blog submitted to blog directories and search engines. There is an important list of where you should add your blog By Kimberly McPherson

#9 Free App Sharing: If you are developer, you can design free apps that people can use and inscribed your website int it. For example, if I mod opera mini for mobile browser. I'll inscribe my website address in the bookmark and also let the first run of the app tell them about my website. You can share apps through sharing platform like sharemobi.ru, xchanger.mobi etc.

#10 Commenting: Recently,it adopted this method and it is working. What to do here is to find do follow blogs in your niche. Pay attention to that phrase in italic. When you comment on blogs in your niche, you have good knowledge and will actually give a true opinion or suggestion as regarding the blog. You will also gain ideas from such blogs and even have something to write about later when you want to post new content on your website. The blog owner will also likely reciprocate by visiting your blog, comment on your your blog and follow you. The usefulness of comment on your blog post is to add value and more useful content to to your post. This in turn give away possibility of adding useful keywords to your blog that users may be type in search engine. I have found answers to so many questions in comment made by people on a blog post. You can picture the value of good comment now. If done properly, by following adding comments and your link on blogs in your niche, you get a reciprocating gesture and not spam.

#11 Word Of Mouth: Being able to share your blog address through word of mouth is worth it. Whenever the opportunity comes, mention your website address to your friends, family, colleague and whomever you think it will be useful for. They will appreciate it. Don't be shy! Talk about your website.

#12 Getting Backlink: Backlinks plays a major role when it comes to free traffic for your website. To get plenty of this backlinks, write articles that can be re-published an submit it to sites like article base.com this will help your backlink increase effortlessly. The advantage of this is that your page rank will increase due to your backlinks growing each time your article is re-published. This means more traffic to your website.

The beauty of online forum is that they are specific. This means you will find forums in niche. If you are a marketer you will likely do well joining a marketing forum either to learn or to share what you know.

Most forums will indicate the number of participating members. You will need to join forums with high number of participant. However, forums with little members but growing also has there advantages.

2.Forum Rules And Guidelines:

The second most important of this tip is being patient and abiding by the forum rule/guidelines spelled out by the Forum you will be participating. First of all read the rules of the forum before joining so as to understand what is accepted or not. You may wonder why this is tagged very important, this is because you may get banned after a lot of good work that should pay you good traffic for life and your content will just be theirs giving them traffic and no link back to you at all. So read the rules and abide by it.

3.Your Profile And Signature:

Also your signature should be set up to point to your website, affiliate page or product whichever you are promoting.

This is because it is the only way to link back to your website, affiliate website, product page etc. It also pays to code your signature with BBC code so those forum members just see a nice powerful text and not just www.yoursiteexample.com.

4.Posting And Participating Intelligently:

So critical to point out here that you have to participate intelligently and not just post meaninglessly expecting to get traffic. There is a golden rule, Give and Take- and that is all about it. The secret to having free and consistent traffic from forum is by giving a valuable answer to a question on forum, posting a thread that answers a question so many people have been longing to get answers. Giving a quick tips on how to do something etc. When forum members find your post interesting, they will click on your profile to know you more or visit your website in your signature if you had a text that look to continue to give valuable information about what they just read. That is the power of knowing a little bbc code. Say you just gave a tip on advantages of coupon, your text-which is actually your website coded using bbc code- could read” ‘The Easiest Way To Get Coupon Online”. You picture that.

5.Keyword Research:

It will be a good idea to have people who are not part of the forum to read your post on the forum and hopefully follow the link back to your website, affiliate webpage or product webpage. If you know what people in your niche are looking for or what they type exactly in the search box and you can write something good about it, then go ahead and do that for your forum.You can use google adwords keyword tool to get what people are searching for.

Now that you give the forum visibility in the search engine and having traffic directly to your post on the forum, you will also get traffic because the visitors see you as the expert and will visit your website. This tip is good if your website is not showing up in the first page search result. You can perceive the Give And Take golden rule. The forum gets traffic from your post while you get targeted visitors from the traffics visiting the forum.

How to Increase Website Traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:48:00 -0800

There are many creative ways to increase traffic to your website. Some will cost you money, and some won't. Below you'll find many legitimate ways (ranging from free to costly) to boost the number of visitors to your website. But if you don't have so much as a cent to spare, read How to Increase Website Traffic for Free.

Some tips are given below that how to increase website traffic

Search engine optimization is about ways to get your website to the top of search engines.This cannot be stressed enough. You can do this by generating useful content like articles and blogs, by social networking and the development of multimedia. This sounds easy but it’s a lot of hard work. Still, you can also strategically spread your content in different websites while keeping your target niche in mind. Be very careful not to over-link. After on-page optimization, you can go build your back links to your site. With backlinks, search engines will directly index your websites after finding the links. No need to submit your website to the search engines themselves. Your backlinks will do the work for you.

Supplement your original content.

Leverage available free content from sources with Creative Commons licenses that support your website message that readers will share.
Find for-fee products that will allow you to fully use premium branded content that is legally allowed to be shared.

Trying to get more backlinks on your website this may help to increase the traffic.

Get a proofreader. Poor spelling and grammar reflect badly on the services and information being provided; avoid unwarranted negative judgments by getting the writing in order prior to publication online.
Avoid content generators. While these were once the delight of a fledgling web industry, they are no longer useful. Putting your own team's creativity online is what is useful.
Never copy and paste from another website - Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines are too smart for this nowadays and will detect copied and unoriginal content, sending you to the bottom of the pile.

Improve your search engine ranking by focusing your content on keywords related to your topic. This is called search engine optimization and will help people find your website when they're searching the Web. Make sure the keywords flow naturally with the text and when you are brainstorming for good words, ask around for words that come naturally to people of all ages when looking for your type of site. To help you understand better, realize that the keywords not only go into headings and page names but also into "meta tags". "Meta tags" are the software code that website visitors do not see but search engines do. Finally, don't overdo the keywords; over-stuffing keywords will result in a very low search ranking for your website. Also, be very careful not to place key text inside graphics; search engines cannot pick up graphics.

Get linked. This is a very important part of website management. Exchange links. Trading links with other websites that are closely related to the subject of your website can bring you more website traffic. These are two-way links because you must provide a link to them, too, and linking to low-quality websites can threaten the credibility of yours. Only link to sites that are dead on topic, and truly help your visitors. Instead of trading links, you could also trade banner ads, half page ads, classified ads, etc.

Be sure to not be too excessive with your link exchanges and do not make this your entire link building method.

Google webmaster guidelines specifically says to not engage in link schemes including "Excessive reciprocal links or excessive link exchanging ("Link to me and I'll link to you.")"

How to Increase Website Traffic for Free

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:01:00 -0800

Some Steps are given below to increase website traffic for free :

Optimize your website to be search engine friendly. Submit it to various search engines and directories. In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and MSN, it's worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well.

Make sure your title, description head, and header html tags accurately convey the subject of your site; search engine algorithms use these as keywords to categorize your site and direct relevant traffic.

Spread the word about your affiliate program by submitting it to affiliate program directories and contacting the owners of related websites.

Create a links page that will contain the links to other non-competing websites in the same industry. Contact the owners of other websites with your proposal to exchange links. You will add their link to your links page, and they will link to your website in return.

Comment on blogs. Visit other people's blogs on the topic related to your website. Most blogs allow you to add comments about the issues being discussed. Add insightful comments about the blog topics, and leave your website link. Your comment and your link will permanently remain on the blog website.

Look into traffic exchanges. There are many types of traffic exchanges but the idea is the same - you team up with other webmasters, and they send you traffic in exchange for you sending them traffic. Search the web for "traffic exchange" to find those services.

Create something of value that people will pass around. It can be a report with useful information that you allow people to give away. It can also be some kind of cool and unusual web-page that people will want to e-mail to all their friends. Of course, the pass-around item will include your advertisement and your link, spreading the word about your website. This is a "viral" strategy.

Write articles on the topic related to your website, and include a link to your site in your author bio. Submit your articles to article directories, and allow people to publish your article in their newsletters and websites. Your articles will spread around the web like wildfire. People will read them and visit your website. The best part is that people who read your articles will regard you as an expert, and they will be much more likely to buy from you when they go to your website. How's that for a free publicity?

Use accurate keywords for your content. The point of keywords is that they are the terms most people looking for your article by topic will search by. Check those with free Google terms and use the most popular relevant one in your title - a descriptive title to let them know right away what it is if it's a word with multiple meanings. Drawing blood for a phlebotomist is not the same thing as a comics artist drawing blood in a fight scene. Be very literal and then use the exact keywords several times in the article where they are relevant, as well as synonyms. Don't overdo it, or you look like you're trying to spam Google. Just use the keywords naturally when describing the topic.

Start an e-zine for your web site. When people read each issue they'll be reminded to revisit your web site. Submit it to all the free e-zine directories on the internet. A news letter.

Start your own online discussion community. It could be an online message board, e-mail discussion list or chat room. When people get involved in your community, they will regularly return to communicate with others.

Advertise your site at free classified ad sites. There are many of these on the net. Some of the more popular ones are Craigslist, inetgiant, free advertising forum, and gumtree.

Getting a myspace page could also increase your site traffic because hundreds of people will see it.

Update your Facebook status to let your friends know every time you update your blog and create a Facebook fan page. Your friend's friends will see when they join the fan page or comment on your status.

Sign up to yahoo answers and leave great helpful comments to questions people are asking for, leaving a link back to your site with more helpful tips on it.

Stay on topic. All this socializing, forum commenting and question answering ought to be on your website's main topic. The more your activity and site content match in topic, the more likely the right people find it. The more targeted your affiliate links are to the topic, the better you'll do with them too. People don't mind advertising that's on topic, it starts to look like a convenience directory rather than irritating commercials.

How to Improve Search Engine Ranking

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:16:00 -0800

Now a days search engines is one of the most critical ways to increase website traffic and expose your content, product or service to people who might be interested in what you have to offer. Most of the major search engines utilize an algorithm to determine where a website ranks. The search engines have set up specific criteria that a website must meet to get to the top of the list. The criteria are different for every engine, but all engines share several commonalities. It all boils down to the type and amount of content provided on a given website, the level of optimization done on the site, and the popularity of the website (link popularity/PageRank). Tailoring your website for improved search engine rankings is also known widely as search engine optimization, or SEO.

Research the keywords: Decide what search queries you want to show up for. Do some research on how many people are actually searching for your site. Many times it is best to consult a "natural search engine optimization" professional during this process. There are several tools available from Google, Overture, and third party software developers that can make the keyword research process easier.

Target niche keywords with low competition: Try to use Google Adwords to check how competitive before deciding on it. Besure that the keywords has enough searches. Try using broadkeywords too

Think outside of the box: Don't just focus on your main keywords. The first thing to realize when targeting keywords is that it is not all about ranking for the most popular keyword. The most successful search engine marketing and optimization campaigns target the most relevant keywords. For example, if you are a realtor in a particular area, don’t just optimize your site for “real estate." Optimize your site for dentist, florist, movie theaters, etc. You would be amazed how many unique visitors will come through to your site when "outside of the box" thinking occurs.

Focus on the end user: If you spend too much time trying to please the Search Engine Spiders, you may forget about the end user. Think about what your target market needs to accomplish their goals, and then put it on your site so that they can find it. The phrase "content is king" was born about 6 years ago, and it still holds true today. If you want to be relevant for specific keywords, than you need superior or at least highly competitive content. Write about 225-300 words of copy for each keyword and plant it on your site each day. Grow, grow, and grow. On average, one can target between 3-5 like keyword phrases per page. Make it as natural as possible and the Search Engines will reward you with a first-page ranking.

Make sure that all the pages of the site have custom titles and descriptions: If your site is using the same tags for all the pages, you are not helping search engines figure out the subject or relevance of your individual pages. Regarding Meta Tags, there are 2 very important fields:

Title Tag - arguably the most important SEO tag for any website. Google supports approx. 60 characters in the title, while Yahoo allows for up to 110 characters in the title. It is important to target the most critical keywords in the Title. Every page should have a unique Title.
META Description Tag - These were once important but are no longer. Some engines do display the description defined, while others do not. Some search engines do read the description tag, and do utilize the content found within in the ranking process. Google, MSN and Yahoo give very little weight to no weight for these.

To make sure that you have not missed any tags or damaged any links in the process, use an inspection tool to look over your website. In the process of inspection, you will also automatically be provided with a sitemap (refer to step 7 for significance).

Keep the structure, navigation and URL structure of your site simple enough for search engines to follow. Remember that search engines cannot parse your navigation if it's using flash or javascript. So try to stay close to standard HTML when it comes to Navigation. URLs with dynamic parameters (?, &, SIDs) usually do not perform when it comes to search engine rankings.

Create a Site Map that tells people where everything is on your site. You will get about a 1% click through rate to your site map. However, it will do wonders for those who know what site maps do, and the Search Engines will like it as well.

Build up your popularity: So now you have determined the right keywords on the right pages, you've created all of the necessary content, and you've optimized all of the content to the best of your capabilities. Congratulations - you're now in the top 80th percentile (from an optimization standpoint) of the websites listed for the keywords you're trying to target. So how do you get a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd page listing? The answer is quite simple: You have to be the most popular, too. That's right, it's a popularity contest. In other words, how many other websites know you (link to you), and how popular are they? This is typically referred to as link popularity, or called PageRank by Google. The more sites that link to your site the better, and the more popular the site linking to you the more value you will receive for your link popularity. The best types of "link building" are directory registration, text link advertising, and press release distribution. Try to offer valuable information or tools so that other people are motivated to link to your site. Well-linked sites (that don't use spamming) do better in search engines.

Build up good quality content. It's very important for a website. This will draw regular visitors to your website.

How to Optimize Your Website

noreply@blogger.com (Zafar Iqbal) — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:59:00 -0800

Creating a website that appeals to search engines can be challenging, but it's critical if you want your Website to generate a steady stream of traffic. That's where effective Website optimization tricks come in. So how do you develop Web content that caters to both search engine spiders and Website visitors? There's no single set of tricks and strategies to observe, but here are some basic website optimization tricks you can use to make your site more appealing to search engines.

Include Meta and title tags: Some search engines still use Meta Keyword, Meta Description and Title tags to catalog and rank Web pages. Be sure to place a title tag at the top of each page to identify the document's overall content. You should also write an accurate Meta description tag because it's often used by search engines to describe a site in search results. And don't neglect to include a Meta keyword tag to reveal the most important keywords for each page to search engine spiders. This is one Website optimization trick you do not want to overlook because Meta tags can be the key to getting "found" by search engines.

Place keywords strategically throughout your content: Having keyword-rich content is the key (pardon the pun) to performing well with search engines. Load your Home and other critical pages with important keywords, since it may be the only page indexed by some engines. If you're not sure which keywords to weave throughout your Website, try using software like WordTracker. It's one of the leading tools you can use for website optimization, and it's available through a free trial.

Use your primary keywords in an H1 header tag near the top of your page: Google gives extra weight to text located within header tags when computing PR. Also use a couple of H2 tags on your page because they count as well (although not as much as the H1).

It's always good to inspect your website after any updates, especially changing tags: It is very easy to create broken links and design flaws which may affect your search engine optimization, not to mention your traffic and revenues. You will also need to create a sitemap.xml file (generally provided for free) to submit to search engines to optimize your website.

Keep your content updated and provide enough content: Good Web content is a critical factor in keeping site visitors interested and coming back for more. It's also the key to higher search engine rankings. Major search engines typically require you to have at least 200 to 250 words on each Web page. So it's important to include plenty of valuable content to appeal to search engines-and visitors.

Avoid using frames if possible: Frames, which are being used less and less, enable you to split a page into pieces and section off static content to decrease download times. However, today's Websites are larger and require more dynamic elements than are feasible with frames. Having a complex frame set up, can keep you from creating a search- engine friendly Website that draws a high ranking.

Build incoming or back links: Building good incoming or back links can also increase your search engine ranking and Website traffic. Here's why this Website optimization trick is so crucial: Most major search engines rank Web pages based on the number and the quality of links that point to the Website (link popularity). They do so because it's very difficult for Web masters to "fake" good links. As a result, link analysis gives search engines a useful means of determining which pages are good for particular topics.

Create a Site Map page and link to it directly from your home page: On your Site Map page place links to every other page in your website. This guarantees that every page on your website can be reached with a maximum of two mouse clicks or "link follows" by the spiders.

Use alt tags to describe your photos: If you can use a keyword or two in your alt tag that is even better, but be careful here that your alt tag accurately describes the photo or Google may consider it to be spam.

Validate Your HTML Code: While search engines don't care whether your HTML code is error-free, they rely on the basic correctness of the code to find out which portions of your web page to index. If your HTML code contains errors, it is possible that only portions of your web page are included in the search engine's database. The errors, while undetectable in a web browser, may lead the search engine software to think that some of the text on your page is part of the HTML formatting information rather than your site's content. As a result, the search engine may ignore that text, and your web page will not be shown in its results page.
