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. Read more...

Commenting On Blogs For Back Links – Revisited With KeywordLuv

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

On the 17th April I did a post on building backlink by commenting on blogs which I have revisited as well as take a look at what others are saying about the topic.

What I have noticed around the blogosphere is that every one is talking about the importance of using anchor keywords/text for the link. Unfortunately with a standard wordpress installation, comments are anchored on the commenter’s name – Which doesn’t really give much in the way of benefit other than just being a backlink.

10 Steps To Creating A Killer Blog

Posted by Zulfikar under Blogging Etiquettes, Blogging tips, Search Engine Optimisation, Uncategorized

1.) – Niche oriented domain name – supper keyword – one word. Read more... (1109 words, estimated 4:26 mins reading time)

This one is a toughie as you will find that most of the good domain names have been taken. But don’t let that stop you, chose a similar word or opt for a different tld like .net or .info if .com is taken. Avoid geographical tlds like .co.uk, .co.in, .asia, .ca or the likes unless your niche is specifically targeting those marketplaces. And if a one word domain is not available then use 2 to 3 words joined together, i.e mykillerblog.com – avoid my-killer-blog.com if you can.

Duplicate Content Warning!

Posted by admin under General, Search Engine Optimisation

Duplicate content? What duplicate content? And what warning?

Yes duplicate content, you know the one that is the same as another piece of content? And the warning by the gurus that you will be penalised by the search engines. Remember that? They called it “Duplicate content penalty”!

OK OK enough dramatisation here is what am on about. First my theory followed by facts from experts and then the conclusion, and hopefully you will say “oh that duplicate content penalty?” Its a myth!!! Read more... (437 words, estimated 1:45 mins reading time)

Improve your search results with Images

Posted by admin under Blogging tips, Search Engine Optimisation

I am going to use two very famous lines for this post. (1) “Not a lot of people know that” as uttered by Michael Caine and (2) “you gona like this, not a lot! but you gona like this” as uttered by Paul Daniel’s in his magic show on the BBC.

Ok, here goes: “Not a lot people know that” they can improve their search results with images! Not just any old image though, an SEO image that is relevant to the post. Once you have this in place you will be surprised at the results, like I said (I mean Michael said) “Not a lot of people know that” Read more... (364 words, estimated 1:27 mins reading time)
