Reciprocal Linking. An Unbiased Analysis.

Posted by Zulfikar under General, Marketing, Traffic Generation

This is a post by Cristian Lungu

Reciprocal linking is without doubt one of the most disputed subjects in the SEO community. The reason for this is because they simultaneously can greatly contribute to your link network and also damage it pretty seriously.

One thing is certain though, Google is getting better by the semester in finding and demoting low quality link exchanges to zero and even negative values.

Search engines have not declared war to link reciprocation but rather to the unnatural linking patterns meant solely to increase the number of links and consequently, enhance rankings.

637221172.438.1262818642 What To Do If Your Facebook Or Twitter Account Is Hacked

By Donna Gunter – Posted on February 22, 2010

Unfortunately, this scenario is a reality for all of us who use social networking — it’s not a matter  of IF your Twitter or Facebook account will be hacked, but simply WHEN. I’ve been on the receiving end of messages from my friends whose accounts have been hacked. The message typically compliments me on some body part or requests me to click on a link to view a video of myself. Also, there are usually a number of misspellings in the message.

Analyzing Blog Activities – January 2010

Posted by Zulfikar under Blogging Etiquettes, Blogging tips, General, Statistics

I’ve decided to do various experiments to see the true affect of certain actions on a live blog. Having read a number of guides, reports and pro-blogger’s advice I felt it was time to put it all into practice and see the outcome first hand.

Point I

One of the main advice given in many a guides/reports is to blog consistently on a regular basis – as this is what drives traffic to a website/blog. So for this month (January) I decided to experiment on this by posting very little in way of blog posts.

My Predictions For 2010 Part II – WordPress To Rise In Popularity.

Posted by Zulfikar under Themes, announcement

With the advent of new blogs springing up on the net, Wordpress as a blogging platform is set to rise in popularity. The community behind this popular software is already huge and will continue to grow.

The evidence is the newly founded WordPress Foundation with its prime location at http://wordpressfoundation.org and sporting a new default theme for Wordpress. The foundation is set to add value to the already immensely valuable WordPress platform and by no means is it here to change or take over.

My Predictions For 2010 Part I – Blogging Explosion

Posted by Zulfikar under Blogging tips, Business blogging, General, Marketing

The movie Julie and Julia took blogging mainstream for many who had no idea that an everyday, average individual could command attention and pursue their passion using an online technology available to the masses for free.

And it’s not just movies and rare blog success stories that make people want to blog. In 2009, the job market resulted in a ton of layoffs for journalists and print newspapers and magazines went out of business. These writers will take their skills to the Internet.

Google Caffeine And The New Ranking Factors

Posted by Zulfikar under Blogging tips, General, Search Engine Optimisation, Traffic Generation

By Titus Hoskins (c) 2009

Google Caffeine is the name given to Google’s “Next Generation” search engine, which it will use to rank and index all the pages on the wonderful world wide web. According to all indications, this is not just another one of Google’s infamous Updates, but a major “Overhaul” of its index and algorithm, the complex formula and calculations Google uses to rank all web pages, including yours.

If that doesn’t sound ominous enough, according to Matt Cutts (Google Spokesperson) one database is already showing Google Caffeine, and the full blown version will be released after the holidays. The reasoning behind this, Google doesn’t want to upset webmasters and site owners during the lucrative holiday buying season. In the past, other major Google Updates have come around this time of the year, most notably the “Florida Update” which severely affected many web sites and webmasters.

Understanding Web Statistics Part III – Understanding Server Response Codes

Posted by Zulfikar under Statistics

Response codes (also called status codes) are the coded results of a server’s attempt to understand and satisfy a request. Web server responses indicate whether a Web object (Web page, graphics file, CGI script, etc.) was successfully retrieved or executed and, if not, the reason for the unsuccessful result. Unsuccessful results are also referred to as server error codes.

Log files record these codes, and the Visitor Statistics tool includes a report on them.

The following codes are some of the most common responses:

* Code 200 – OK: The request was fulfilled. The Web page was successfully downloaded without error.

10 Ways To Increase Your Blog’s Pageviews

Posted by Zulfikar under Blogging Etiquettes, Blogging tips, Contest, Traffic Generation

With Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher, having people click onto more pages helps your revenue immensely, but how do you get them to read more than one page when they visit your website? Here are a few tips.

1. Create pages within the blog that contain reference material you refer to often in your posts. These static pages will also get crawled and indexed by the search engines and as you write posts about your topics you can refer people to these static pages as references to what you are posting about.
