Majority does not use relnofollow construction in the direct links. And that is wrongly. Remember, that some internal links are useless because they have incorrectly selected anchor.Someexternal links not only brings no benefits, but also because of them the website can lose its position in the Search Engines.

It is worth to mention that a great number of blogs groups their archives using the moth criteria but not the key words. That is real problem because anchor text is very important for SEO, and all these archives based on the datum have terrible figure anchor. Blog categories organization is the first step in the right direction. The most optimal URLs include appropriate popular key words and minimal number of slashes without any interrogation mark. Using WordPressm, make sure that Human URLs are used but not the URL meaning on default.

If your blog bases on TypePad or MoyableType then you need to substitute used on default underscores into hyphens, because hyphens are more preferred from Search Engines point of view. TypePad and MoyableType have the tendency to cut the part of key words in the URL. Using WordPress you should use “post slug” function that constructs Human readable URL orthographically and cuts out “empty” words such as prepositions that appear in the header, but add no privilege this URL from Search Engines point of view.

Just one RSS output type is absolutely unacceptable from the SEO point of view. Each category on your blog has to have its own subcategories in order people, who are interested in one topic, could subscribe on others. At the same time optimized RRS feeds output to users the whole text, have more than ten elements (e.g. 20 or 50), are full of key words in the title, include your trademark etc.

Maybe you place your blog URL or RSS feed on the Domain that is not your property. Does your blog URL really contains something like blogspot.com, typepad.com, wordpress.com etc? Are you waiting for a disaster? What will happen if you want to rebase your blog on another engine or change the hoster? You won’t be ready for the page 301 code which destination is to notify about the change of site habitat. The best thing you can do is redirection with the script saying “We have moved”.

Are you using incorrectly selected anchor for internal links? Quiet spread mistake made by bloggers is usage of “here” or “previously” anchors while referencing on other your posts instead of using normal key words qua anchors.

Somebody may say that all these things are unessential trifles, but these trifles influence on traffic availability (or its absence).

Why personal blogs?

by admin

Did you ever think about why it is widely regarded that personal blogs are the most natural and profitable type of personal web page? What is the ground of such a confidence? Having compared user options of personal website and personal blog, I have made the following conclusions:

-Blogs are more user-friendly and easier to launch;

-Blog owners get wide range of additional opportunities, which are impossible in ordinary static websites.

-There are lots of different WordPress themes to choose from. Each blog owner can change his blog theme anytime he wants without undesirable alteration of functionality, as it would occur while website redesigning.

That is why, in most cases, when given the choice what to create – personal website or personal blog, people choose the last variant. Let us examine advantages and benefits of personal blogs on few examples.

As you know, WordPress blogs have the most suitable form of data maintenance when entries (posts) are displayed in reverse chronological order and each of them has relation to some definite category. It helps the reader to find out first the freshest news and read last published posts. In addition, reader can choose posts related to the category he is interested in instead of looking through all texts for the needed info. Such option indicates the main advantages of blogs – topicality and freshness of provided information. Visitors come back over and over to the blog in order to find hot news. That is why, blog owners try to update their posts as frequently as possible. Comparing with ordinary websites with static content, it is definitely plus.

Besides of the fact that WordPress blog is one of the most popular and easiest ways to create your own website, it also has better functionality than static website because blog owners have ability to add different plugins responsible for extra functions. One of them is ability to leave comments in an interactive format. It is rather easy but in the same time necessary part of each blog. By means of the plugin responsible for this function, you have opportunity to know thoughts and opinions of your readers about what you are writing. It is so-called two-side communication, which is impossible in usual static websites. It is exactly the chance to discuss themes and problems author lighten in posts that makes more and more Internet users to launch their personal blogs.

Further, as for design of the blog and website. It is commonly known that once designed website is not so easy to redesign, as it will cause the alteration of all functionality: links, contact forms, etc. This problem is absent while changing the blog design. You just add the appropriate WordPress theme chosen from thousands represented in the net. For instance, take this WordPress theme for photographer personal blog. Great design, pleasant colors – but still nothing is everlasting. It may occur in a few months that you do not like it any more. In this case, there is nothing complicated to change it. Just add another WordPress theme you like more and your personal blog is fresh and modern again.

As you see, advantages of personal blogs are obvious. To launch it you need only one thing - strong desire to express oneself and post your own opinions on different matters.

The most widely spread bloggers mistakes

I’d like to tell a few words about what type of mistakes bloggers as usual make in the SEO questions. So, what are these mistakes and how much are they crucial?
One of the most frequent mistakes is automatic “title” tag generation (from the message header, category title etc). Each page of category choice and most part of pages that are pointed to by the permanent links (in particular pages of the messages) should be constructed individually. Besides it is not very good practice to use the name of the blog as message header or category title for many times. Why? Because the ideal message header will be ideal “title” tag very rare. Optimization of your header or category title by synonyms search, use of different verb tenses etc can destroy its pithiness and logic structure, what will have negative influence on the visitor. For instance, instead of “Social marketing optimization” one can use “Project promotion in social networks! Up-to-date marketing with the intake of the whole WEB 2.0 power” and this broadens the key words usage.
If you do not have time or possibilities to do this and you don’t want to work with header tags that were generated automatically, then you can write a small script by yourself. It has to output automatically generated headers at the beginning of “title” tag and only afterwards page name and blog name. It will give the chance to use it more effectively.
Second mistake lies in the indexing widening of the pages that must not be index-linked. E.g. you should not permit for indexing by Search Engines pages like “Send this page on the e-mail” or “Print version” because they represent the same page with a little bit changed content. Check which of your pages were indexed by Search Engines and find which should not be there. Then prohibit it for indexing in robots.txt.
The third mistake is to place blog on the several areas at the same time. For instance, blog is located on the purchased hosting with your own Domain and simultaneously is translated on the free bloghosting. If blog is accessible via several addresses then there surely will be issues with the identification of placed on this blog content uniqueness, and this will decrease the rating in Search Engines essentially.
So, another mistake is refuse from the usage of “optional excerpts” function, destination of which is to minimize content duplication. This function can have different names in other blog engines, but in WordPress “optional excerpts”is exactly what will help you to point another one page copy that can be located anywhere but to have the same URL. This will make the content tied with permanent link to the pages, decreasing potentiality of the blog position loss because of content non-uniqueness.
To be continued…
