Customizing Your Pinging for Faster Indexing and More Traffic

admin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:09:19 +0000

There are a couple of easy things you can do to make sure your site content gets indexed quickly. This is extremely important, because you’re most likely writing your blog posts so that people will read them, bookmark them and tell other people about them, right?! It’s important to tell your list, your fans on Facebook, your Twitter followers, and while you’re at it, you might as well tell Google and the Search Engines too. With Google’s Panda update last Spring it can be argued whether pinging is as important or effective as it used to be, but in my opinion, it’s an easy, free thing to do that definitely can’t hurt. I just recorded a video explaining this process a little more, though one thing that you should also do is make sure that your Word Press site has a site map. This is important for when the bots come a crawling your site and also very easy to set up. Here’s a link to the one I use:

Google Sitemap Generator

Below the video is the long list of pinging services that I’ve collected, enjoy!

Why Create a Blog? 5 SEO Reasons.

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:32:17 +0000

In the days before blogs, creating a website about any topic was much harder. It required more of a technical and artistic background than many people naturally had. Depending on how complex the site was, it may have even required a team of designers and coders to put something together.

Fortunately in the early part of the last decade there had been enough templates and code developed that the average writer no longer had to recreate the wheel every time they wanted to build a basic website for simple self expression, allowing them to focus more on the content then on code. This was revolutionary in a way and really led to even greater participation and contribution to the internet.

Nowadays, you can build a very professional looking Word Press style blog in only a few hours and have it autopopulate with related images and content if you want to. You can even have it autopost to social media sites and other places on the web ever ytime a new post is added. It’s hard to express how important this constant sharing and contribution across multiple mediums has changed the world. It’s the ultimate democratization of knowledge when it comes down to it! Now, hopefully this all seems really cool, but why should you care? Why should you create a blog?

1. When focusing on specific keywords.

If you do keyword research for your market, you can understand the words that people are looking for related to your product and the amount of competition you’ll come against for trying to rank for a certain keyword. If you pay attention to this and write content about the niche topics that people are looking for without mentioning the words that are already very competitive, then your site will end up ranking higher for those keywords. Ultimately this means more traffic for your content and your related offer.

2. To make your site look bigger.

All else being equal, Google will always rank a website with more pages higher than one with less. Google’s goal is to serve up the most accurate content for any search and for whatever reason, they believe that the website with more posts mentioning those words is more relevant than another.

3. To make your site look more current.

Ideally you should be writing and posting blog content related to your keywords on a regular frequency. That way, when Google or the other Search Engines send their bots out to index pages across the internet, they have know to check back with you often. Posting once every 3 to 5 days is an ideal quantity since it will send them back looking and not penalize you and not potentially punish you for creating too much content too fast.

4. To get more comments on your site.

It’s normal human nature to want to read or learn something from a source that other people have validated. In the online world, commenting on someone else’s posts shows their readers that they have done a good job of engaging their visitors and makes the blog a much more dynamic tool.

5. To get more links and likes.

A major compenent of SEO is link building. It constitutes basically all of what is referred to as offpage SEO and these days, Google is giving more weight and better rankings to sites that inspire their visitors to either link to them or mention them in social media. These “likes”, links, and “follows” all give you and your opinions more credibility and eventually more traffic.
