Does The Theme You Use For Your Blog Influence Page Views?

Through chopping and changing themes I noticed one thing – on every change of a theme either my page view increased or decreased!

So I have been wondering if the look and feel of your site does influence page view or is there a certain aspect of a theme that does encourage site visitors to view more pages. Then it clicked!

Reciprocal Linking. An Unbiased Analysis.

This is a post by Cristian Lungu

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.

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.

10 Ways To Increase Your Blog’s Pageviews

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.
