5 Effective Ways to Build Organic Backlinks

2012-09-21T23:11:00.000-07:00

Here are 5 Effective Ways to Built organic backlinks quickly. Apart from writing quality content and promoting it through social media, it’s necessary to have some quality backlinks to your blog. After the recent search algorithm changes by Google, many blogs are punished for several reasons. To stay safe and ahead of
your competitors, it’s necessary to take some action and building organic backlinks will surely help.

This article is written after getting inspired from a video by Matt Cutts, the head of Google SPAM Team. He clearly mentioned some good points on how to build organic backlinks.

What are Organic Backlinks ?

There are thousands of ways to build links to your blog and none of them are equal to “Organic Backlinks”. In simple words, organic backlinks can be explained as the links that are naturally constructed, which usually happens when you focus on high quality and unique content.

How to built Organic Backlinks ?

Here are 5+ sure fire tips that help to built organic backlinks to your blog.

1. Controversies

Indulging in a Controversy will easily highlight things mostly if you are on the negative side. You need to follow-up regularly and have to be in touch with trending topics. Words have such a great power and believe me, with a single blog post you can grab the attention of the whole media. Play it safe or otherwise you may face some legal issues.

2. Experiments

Experimenting on things will depend on your interest and passion to achieve something. Not everyone can do experiments as it needs lot of time and patience. So, if you are goot at something, then try to experiment on things and publish posts like How-to guides on your blog. This is how unique content can be built and organic backlinks will flow to your article, sometimes for years.

3. Freebies

Using a feebie to get subscribers and backlinks is an old yet powerful strategy. You cannot get backlinks immediately, but over time you can get some quality backlinks. This depends on the quality and type of freebie you are providing. If its a regular one, like a free PSD template or a free theme then there wont be much use. Try to work on creative things and give them away for free.

4. Communities

Lets consider some blogs in the WordPress niche. There are quite popular and useful blogs on WordPress that help to make the most out of your WordPress blog. Whenever they write an article or list out some resources, links to the articles on other blogs will be included. This purely depends on the author of the article and so its necessary to establish some connections with fellow bloggers.

5. Video Blogging

Many have the talent to create useful videos yet don’t try it. Consistent exposure can be gained through video blogging and if you need a sort of inspiration to start with, then you can check TheNewBoston (http://thenewboston.org/tutorials.php). That guy got good programming skills and he is sharing some knowledge through his videos. Make videos and your articles will be linked on many blogs.

Bonus Tip

Forum Participation also helps to get some backlinks. All you have to do is help others by providing some useful answers for questions in sections you have knowledge on. And important thing is don’t SPAM posts with single word answers, it may result in a ban.

Over To You

That’s it from my side and if I have missed any important one, let me know through comments. If you don’t agree with any of these methods or want some proofs on how they work, lets start the discussion now.

Optimize Your Blog Post Titles for Better SEO

2012-09-21T22:59:00.000-07:00

The reason most of the blogger templates aren’t that SEO friendly because templates available in Blogger were designed long ago and haven’t been updated, probably since 2007, since then Google SEO algorithm has changed a lot and as being on blogger you don’t want to be left long away, to keep up with the competition making your Blogger template SEO friendly is very important and so this small SEO related article will help you to leave your competitors
behind.

If you are also using a template from Blogger then you need to make some changes on it to fit your needs and also to fit the search engine needs. Normally search engine don’t focus on the markup
importantly but it’s a good thing to change it to something user friendly. What Blogger templates like ‘Simple’, Travel’ etc. have h1 tag as it’s Blog title, which is normal. But the Post title is not okay that all, it is in an h3 tag, for many reasons your blog might not being shown up in the search results and this is on of those reasons.
You won’t find any difficulties with a WordPress theme, as they are freshly published and reviewed by experts but templates in Blogger were made by expert but not freshly launched. Just as the search engines detects an anchor link because of it’s markup then why can’t they see what heading is being used for what area.

Optimize the post title to heading2 in Blogger

Enough about it’s effect, let’s talk about how to make the changes applicable. These easy instruction will give you the easiest way to turn your post title to h2 from h3.

First of all login to your Blogger Dashboard
Go to the Template tab and click on Edit HTML, ignore the warning and proceed.
Check mark the ‘Expand Widget Template’
Use CTRL+F and search for this line
<h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>
All you have to do is just change the <h3> to <h2>, change of only a number. But we aren’t done yet, remember there’s still an ending/closing tag. You have to change both starting <h3> and ending </h3> tag into the template. In the middle it’s all XML codes that works on the server to serve an HTML page.After you turn the starting h3 to h2, do remember to change the ending tag too or it will create difficulties while saving the template.
You will find the tag two times. one is for Desktop Version Template and another is for Mobile version Template. I recommend you to change all h3 that marks as the post title to h2. Searching for <h3 will bring up the codes but as i already said, remember to change corresponding closing tag too.

Yeah that’s it ! It doesn’t only increase visibility and beauty of your blog in search results but also make your blog user friendly. Now stop using h3 for your post title, h3 is only good in the post body for heading. This was not a big change or addition for better SEO in your blog but remember it is how SEO works, there’s no easy and direct way to get to the top of search results, small and effective actions you take regarding your blog makes it a hit on SEO and search engines.
Don’t get worried if your blog don’t do too good in the search results, keep posting and that’s the most important aspect in getting to the top. And this blog is always free to read, check post related to Blogger SEO for some more amazing post and do subscribe for our coming posts.

How to Add Retweet Button to your Blogger Posts

2012-09-20T13:05:00.001-07:00

Since Twitter is getting huge popularity these days, adding a cool Retweet Button to your Blogger blog posts can easily get you some decent amount of traffic and promote your content/products to large people in quick time. If you have tons of followers, then you can easily milk it.. ;)

So, here is how to add a nice Retweet button to your blogspot blog posts:

There are two versions of retweet buttons.. one is the default one (looks like digg button) and the other one is Compact version which can fit in small space..

The Code for the Default version is :

<script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"> </script>

and for Compact version is :

<script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_style = "compact"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"></script>

Here is how to add them to your blogger post..

If you want it to the left side of blog post..

Find

<data:post.body/>

And Paste this code BEFORE that line..
<div style="float:left;padding: 6px 10px 6px 0px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"> </script> </div>

If you want it to the Right Side of post..

Find

<data:post.body/>

Add this code BEFORE that line..

<div style="float:right;padding: 6px 0px 6px 6px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> tweetmeme_url = '<data:post.url/>'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js"> </script> </div>

Note: In the above two cases, if you want Compact button instead of default style, Just simple replace the default style code with compact one (refer step 1)

In that above code, Edit the part that I highlighted in red color according to Step 1. It determines the number of posts that to be displayed per page. (Make sure, the number you set is same like the one in Step 1)

3. Control + F and search for all the occurrences of this code
'data:label.url'

and replace it with this

'data:label.url + "?&max-results=5"'

Again, the number in the above line depends on the number you set in the STEP 1.

4. Now, the styling part.. I've made x styles.. you can choose the one you wish..

(i) Default

Code

.showpageArea a { text-decoration:underline; background: #ffffff; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; } .showpageNum a { text-decoration:none; border: 1px solid #cccccc; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; margin:0 3px; padding:3px; } .showpageNum a:hover { border: 1px solid #cccccc; background-color:#cccccc; } .showpagePoint { color:#333; text-decoration:none; border: 1px solid #cccccc; background: #cccccc; margin:0 3px; padding:3px; } .showpageOf { text-decoration:none; padding:3px; margin: 0 3px 0 0; } .showpage a { text-decoration:none; border: 1px solid #cccccc; padding:3px; } .showpage a:hover { text-decoration:none; } .showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link { text-decoration:none; color:#333333; }

Copy the above code. Find this line and paste that code ABOVE IT.

26 Tips to Get Your Blog Ready for First Time Visitors

2012-09-19T17:08:00.000-07:00

Is your blog looking a bit stale? Would you like to freshen things up a bit?
Would you like to give your own blog a makeover, without hiring anyone? Just so, it is looking brand new and sparkling for the people visiting for the first time?
It’s not that hard if you know exactly what to look for, and to look at your blog from a newcomer’s point of view. You need a checklist and a block of uninterrupted time. Anywhere from half and hour to forty minutes is ideal to start things of.

Keep a paper/pencil handy if you want to take notes the traditional way, or open up a new text document and type away. (Don’t ignore this, because you will forget things so it is better to write those down as you go).
Let’s begin.
1. Look at your blog title. What is it telling your readers? If you are still on a free domain and thinking about moving to self hosted site, think long and hard about your blog name.
2. Getting your tagline just right is extremely important. It speaks volumes about your blog. It tells the first time visitors what is it about and what’s in it for them. Aim to make it descriptive rather then creative.
3. Showcase a clutter free design. Install a premium theme to make it look really professional. You are only looking at one time cost but it will really help your blog stand out. You can easily tweak things to make your design look exactly the way you want.
4. Add a brief author bio and image to your sidebar. This way anyone landing on it for the first time can see at a glance who writes it. Again emphasize on why you write this blog.
5. Show your most popular posts on the sidebar. This way your best content is always available for newcomers.
6. Place your email sign up form in a prominent position. A top bar works well. Another good position is to add it to your sidebar. Be careful that it is above the fold and the reader doesn’t have to scroll down to find it.
7. Make it super easy for your readers to contact you. Add a stand alone Contact Me tab on your main navigation or add this information on your About Me page. Don’t make readers jump hoops to get in touch with you either.
8. If you are accepting guest posts, it is a good idea to display your guideless in an easy to locate position. Think about adding a Write for Us or Guest Post Guidelines tab on main navigation. If you accept guest posts by invitation only, say so.
9. Add links to your Social Media profiles on your sidebar. Be consistent with your choice of icons.
10. Work on your About Me page until you are happy with the result. After your home page, this is the most frequently visited page of your blog. It needs to tell the visitor who you are, why you are writing this blog and why should they care. Meaning what makes you qualified to write on this topic. Don’t forget to add your opt-in form.
11. Add a subscription form after every post to remind your readers. Add other relevant plug-ins that will display similar posts.
12. Add social share buttons at the end of your posts so that people can share them easily. Don’t add too many to confuse them. Select a few networks that you are active on yourself so you can respond and keep an eye on what’s happening.
13. Create your ideal reader profiles. Go into detail and write a few personas. Make sure you appeal to at least one type of reader when writing your blog posts.
14. Headlines can make or break your post. They need to make somebody curious enough to click on it. Spell out the benefit and try to stay away from formulaic ones.
15. Hook your reader in with an irresistible intro. Perhaps make a startling revelation or share a shocking statistic? Ask a pressing question or say something totally unexpected.
16. Make your content screen friendly. Short paragraphs, subheadings, bulleted lists, images, screen shots and lots of white space. Every single element will go a long way in making it highly scannable.
17. Practice the principles of effective communication. Blogging is much more about writing. Remember to be clear, concise and connect with your audience.
18. Add a relevant call to action to your home page (subscription form) or at the end of your blog posts (Share, comment, link, buy something). Don’t overwhelm readers with unnecessary choices.
19. Create ‘linkbait’. Examples of these are round up type posts, interview posts, long lists – in short, posts that a lot of people would be interested in linking to. They are excellent ways to build authority and show off some social proof (tweets, likes, comments, links etc).
20. Install Reply Me type plugin. This sends an automatic email when you respond to a comment. The commentator doesn’t have to check any boxes to receive updates. More over, the person only receives the response and not all the comments in the thread. They never miss your response and it helps build engagement.
21. Show that you truly care about your community and always respond to their questions and any relevant comments.
22. Offer a freebie to get people to sign up for your newsletter or subscribe to your blog. Nothing entices anyone than a relevant freebie. This can take a form of a short report, an ebook or even a link to a video. Make sure you deliver high value content to get people to sign up.
23. Add a hire me page if you have any services on sale and list all the details for easy access. Don’t bury this information.
24. Place testimonials and raving customer feedback on your site to add credibility and authority.
25. Thank your advocates and your biggest supporters. People who always take time out to comment and share your stuff.
26. Have fun. Come across as a positive, passionate and fun loving blogger. Don’t paint a picture of gloom and doom.

9 Writing Books that Will Inspire You to Write – Today

2012-09-19T14:16:00.005-07:00

Are you overwhelmed with the number of books listed on Amazon or Goodreads? Would you like some recommendations that would really brighten up your day and give you a kick in the proverbial?
Here is a list of my top nine must read books that every new – or established – writer should read ASAP. I have added a little book description after each title to help you make up your mind and decide which ones speak to you.

#1 On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this is the top of my list. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it—fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.
#2 Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”
#3 Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
Natalie she brings together Zen meditation and writing in a new way. Writing practice, as she calls it, is no different from other forms of Zen practice —”it is backed by two thousand years of studying the mind.”
#4 The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
Bestselling novelist Steven Pressfield identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success. The War of Art emphasizes the resolve needed to recognize and overcome the obstacles of ambition and then effectively shows how to reach the highest level of creative discipline.
#5 Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
“Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it’s your turn. Jump!” Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing.
#6 The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life by Julia Cameron
What if everything we have been taught about learning to write was wrong? Julia asserts that conventional writing wisdom would have you believe in a false doctrine that stifles creativity. With the techniques and anecdotes, readers learn to make writing a natural, intensely personal part of life.
#7 Page after page by Heather Sellers
You Are a Writer—Believe It! False starts. Self-doubt. Mind games. They end the moment you pick up this book. With an inspiring mix of humor, wisdom, and creativity, Page After Page shows you how to find the courage and commitment to start writing and keep writing.
#8 Wild Mind: Living the Writer’s Life by Natalie Goldberg
Natalie teaches a method of writing that can take you beyond craft to the true source of creative power: The mind that is”raw, full of energy, alive and hungry.” Here is compassionate, practical, and often humorous advice about how to find time to write, how to discover your personal style, how to make sentences come alive, and how to overcome procrastination and writer’s block — including more than thirty provocative “Try this” exercises to get your pen moving.
#9 Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brand
A reissue of a classic work originally published in 1934 on writing and the creative process, Becoming a Writer recaptures the excitement of Dorothea Brande’s creative-writing classroom of the 1920s. Decades before brain research “discovered” the particular roles of the right and left sides of the brain in human endeavor, Brande was teaching students how to see again, how…moreDecades before brain research “discovered” the particular roles of the right and left sides of the brain in human endeavour, Brande was teaching students how to see again, how to hold their minds still, how to call forth the inner writer. She had novice writers note the effects of everything in their environment on their writing. She showed them how to harness the unconscious, how to fall into “artistic coma,” then how to re-emerge and be their own critics.
So there it is. This is my ultimate collection to inspire any writer. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, needing courage to lift the pen, you will find lots of practical advice and inspiration to keep you going.

How to Really Grow Your Blog Traffic

2012-09-19T14:07:00.002-07:00

Firstly, a few words about other guides, blog posts, and entire blogs on blog growth. Forget about them.
Chances are they’ve been full of fluff and haven’t gotten you where you want to be.
I’ll start by telling you two tips to blog growth. They’ll make all your efforts more worth it, meaning everything non-blog-growth related you do with be more worth it. If you don’t read the whole post, you’ll at least benefit from these.

Tip 1: Social media is next to nothing. Your growth doesn’t depend on Twitter, or Facebook. Unless you have a massive following and use a media platform to tweet your messages 500 times a day, it’s not worth it. Facebook marketing, if you haven’t noticed, is a bag of hot air waiting to burst. It’s leaking as you read this.
Tip 2: Loyal readers grow blogs. Excited, loyal readers will do more for your blog than you can and will. They’ll comment, share, like, and buy from you all while you’re not even blogging. That’s the holy grail of blogging and what you’ve probably tasted, at least to some extent.
I specialize in keeping readers on blogs for longer. Bounce rates, retention, interaction, and the like. Why? It’s actually just the area of blogging I chose to specialize in. College lets you choose your major, and in my opinion, so does blogging. Darren Rowse focuses on digital photography, and Glen Allsop covers SEO. It’s really wherever your heart is.
Keeping readers on your blog and building relationships is the key to growth. If you’re not succeeding at this, your work might be phenomenal but it’s not going anywhere big. That’s sort of the bad news. The good news, is that you can improve. Surpringly enough, you can retain readers and grow your blog more by changing the most simple things.
Take a look below. I’ve focused on 5 parts of a blog that make or break it. I’ve also included slight modficiations you should make to keep your blog airtight. Do all of this and you’ll win over readers, and once their on your side your work will truly take off. Note: I focused on these 5 techniques this past summer, and by summer’s end my pageviews and subscribers had more than doubled.

Titles

Don’t sell yourself short with boring post titles. Do you spend three hours writing and editing a post, then slap a generic title on it? It should be the opposite. Your titles should pop, and make people click. Erase a few posts titles, and convert them to statements that challenge your reader’s beliefs, or relate two seemingly unrelated things.
The general criteria for great titles are: challenge, relate, and explain.
My post “How Playboy Helps your Blog” airing soon on ProBlogger.net relates in a unique way. When you pose a statement that relates unrelated things, you catch the reader’s attention, and from there all you need is a good intro. The Blog Tyrant writes gripping posts, like “Why Your Post Style and Structure is Killing Your Blog.” These titles evoke emotions and get clicks because of it. Excited yet?

Tone

You must sell yourself through writing. Hate to say it, but it’s not enough to write good information and it never has been. If you don’t boost yourself, talk about your own expertise, and show some social validation, how the heck are people supposed to know you’re a legitimate source? Your quality advice, research and information literally sails off the face of the interwebs if you fail to insert statements on your own knowledge. Build your tone up with bold statements, and again, challenge readers. Look at what major bloggers with strong personalities do. They’ll begin with bold statements, end sentences with questions, and include little “notes” of how their techniques have worked.

Images

Are your images random, irrelevant or things only you find funny? I’ve got two words for you. Delete them. Images are ONLY useful if they clarify a point or create curiosity. Those are the criteria I’ve lived by since day 1 and I’m doing alright. Or, just roll without images and let users focus on your text. See how DailyBlogTips doesn’t use many images? That’s a good thing. It’s a subtle way of telling readers what’s important, and where to focus.
Place as much emphasis on your images as your text. If you do a clever job relating images to text, even in an abstract way, you’ll tell readers you know what you’re talking about.

Diversify

Show that you know your topic, and hit users from a lot of angles. Now I know this is a broad statement, but it’s actually easy. Diversification in blog posts can be quick and painless. If you’re an online marketer, insert a case study into a post. If you’re an artist, show a crafty coloration you did with someone semi-famous. Even things like tweets, quotes, or charts from Google Analytics can be inserted in your posts to show readers you really know your topic. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot and hide your knowledge into with huge blocks of text. Not even your mom will read that.

Links (my best point)

You want people to click your links, right? Especially if they go to related posts, or better, to affiliates you’ve setup deals with. So make your links clickable. Place links around action verbs. I pitch premium themes on my blog from Theme Junkie, because that’s what I myself use. I generate clicks with words like “browse beautiful themes”, “upgrade your look”, and “go pro today”. I’d get a lot less clicks with link-text like “check these out” or “click here” that people are sick of. Another trick? Make your links pleasing. Give them a hover color, so users feel like their grabbing the link instead of just floating on it. Just a subtle trick that works. Google “hover link color” to begin.
That’s 5 solid tips to make your content gripping, win over readers and encourage them to click through and share your content. Do you think readers share boring content, or things they’ve seen 10 times already? No, and they’re not sharing your content if it looks that way. These are things the bigger blogs do as second nature that help them remain at the top of blogging. Stop wondering, start doing, and always savor the small gains in blogging.

2012-09-18T12:52:00.000-07:00

Affiliate marketing is a highly profitable industry in which many people use to build their online business and live a financially free life. These people promote other peoples products and in return they receive a commission; some as high as 75%. There are millions of products to promote, some being digital and some physical. You need to do some research to find out whats hot and what not and start promoting.

When starting out in the affiliate marketing business, digital products are the ones to promote and then move on to the physical ones. But then again there is a lot less competition promoting physical products than digital. Digital products tend to give out higher commissions due their cost to be developed is lower and there ability to be downloaded directly to your computer in a matter of minutes. Physical products are obviously much more costly to make and have to be shipped out to where ever they're going. This doesn't mean that they're not good to promote. There are many people who promote physical products and making a very nice living.

So How Do You Promote Products In An Affiliate Marketing Business?

1. Websites - This is probably the best way to promote products within your affiliate marketing business. First off, decide what products you want to sell. Pick at least 3 or more and make them consistent. If you are interested in selling hair loss products, find a few hair loss products. Then you add some content to your website. Add an Intro about the site and then some reviews about the products you just found. These are very basic steps but at least you get a general idea. Also take a look at other websites that are related to what you are trying to do. Now you have to generate traffic to your website.

2. Paid Advertising - Pay per click is a form of advertising used to promote products in affiliate marketing. Basically, you would place ads on search engines such as Google, and if someone clicks on your ad you pay a predetermined price that you set. Once the ad is clicked on, the consumer will go to your website and if they click on the product you advertised, you will get a commission.

3. Articles - In affiliate marketing, writing articles to promote a product is a highly effective way and free. Write about information relating to what you are selling but don't make it sound like a sales letter. At the end of the article, put your link to your website or blog but not a link that will send people directly to the product website.

4. Forums - Another great way to promote products in affiliate marketing are joining forums related to your products. Once you gain trust from the forum members by participating in some discussions, you will be able to place a link whenever you post a reply.

5. Blogs - This is another free method of affiliate marketing to reach potential customers. Blogs are easy to construct and is basically a free website. You will be able to pick out a template to change the look of your blog and add some content and links related to your products your promoting.

Backlinks are incoming links to a blog or a website or a web page. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that blog or website. According to Google, back links are votes given by other sites to you. Google assign pageranks to blogs or websites according to their backlinks. If a blog have alot of quality backlinks then google will assign them a good pagerank. Pageranks are very important especially if you want to earn money through your blog or website.

To get free backlinks i want to show you my personal experience so far as blogging is all about personal experience.

Quality Content
If you are having quality content then everyone who like what you blog, will link back to you. Now the Question How to write Quality posts for your blog please read my post about How to write a better post.
Main Source "Comments"
If you really want to get alot of high quality backlinks, I would encourage you to leave a comment on each and every blog that you read but in your comments remember to leave your blog's link. And the most important thing Do not spam ( spam means do not leave comments like " WOW" "Thanks" "Nice Post" etc ok because bloggers will not publish that)
This is the most powerful source and google loves these kind of links. It would help you alot. I also call it Blog Walking
Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarks are the sites that allow you to share sites you like with others or in other words you can maintain your bookmarks and favorites in a way that others can see it. There is a large number of social bookmarking sites on the web. Visit them and get free and easy back-link to your sites from them. Don't keep on submitting your own site(s) to them. This will look spammy and some of the social bookmarks might ban you for doing this. Submit other good sites, blogs and pages too. Tip:Write a good description and a catchy title to get large amount of traffic as well as large number of backlink from them. This way more people will rate your site and you wil get a link-back from their profiles too.

Link Directories
This is the easiest way to get some free backlinks. All you have to do is find some quality free directories, choose a related category for your site and submit your site to that proper related category. As choosing a proper category will increase chances of your link being accepted, it will also insure you get back-link from related keywords which is one of the best SEO practices.

TIP 1: While submitting your sites to link directories, don't forget to write a proper description of your site with some of your keywords in it.

TIP 2: Don't leave the keywords field empty as it is not mandatory.

TIP 3: Keep on changing the text in title tag while submitting to directories so that Google don't take your site for spam.
Submit Articles to Directories
I personally didn't try this step but i have heard alot from many bloggers about it that it worked for them.
Try submitting your articles to some popular articles directories ( like ezinearticles.com).
How it works: When you submit articles to these directories, it contain links to your blog at the end of the article that is posted by you. This way you get free backlinks from these directories

Change Blogger jump break "read more" text

2012-09-18T12:42:00.002-07:00

Blogger has already for a long time enabled bloggers to easily create expandable post summary which they called JUMP BREAK and where the jump break start will be a link with text READ MORE.

However, some bloggers may want to change that READ MORE text to something else, for example, change it to CONTINUE READING or MORE INFO as had been done for this test post Testing Blogger jump break where the text had been successfully changed to CONTINUE READING.

This is how it can be done. Sign into Dashboard and click LAYOUT. Then in the middle of the LAYOUT click EDIT in the CONFIGURE POSTS section:

then in the relevant box, change the READ MORE text to something else like CONTINUE READING as in the example above:

Also, if you want to change the position/alignment of the READ MORE link, example to center instead of the default left, sign into Dashboard and in the drop down menu, click TEMPLATE, the EDIT HTML to open the template editor. Tick the [ ] Expand Widget Templates and using ctrl+F, find <data:post.jumpText/> as shown highlighted in red below:

<a expr:href='data:post.url + "#more"' expr:title='data:post.title'> <data:post.jumpText/></a>

and surround the above with <div style="text-align:center;"> and </div> as shown below:

<div style="text-align:center;"><a expr:href='data:post.url + "#more"' expr:title='data:post.title'> <data:post.jumpText/></a></div>

I have tested it at Computers and Internet for Communities and you can see that the jump break link is now centrally aligned.

Note: Whenever you want to edit the template, it is always wise to backup the template first before proceeding.

How to make dual language blog with one click

2012-09-18T12:39:00.001-07:00

A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of 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 by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input.

You may submit your site URL to these search engines for Free. If you lack the time, submit your site to the top few leading search engines..Good Luck

Google

Yahoo! Search

Microsoft Live Search

Alexa Web Search

Baidu (Chinese search engine)
