I have been running websites for over a year, but have only recently been blogging. The search engines look at blogs a lot differently than they do for static websites, so I have listed a few simple SEO tweaks that will help your blog rank higher in the search engines and have your blog be more visible to the readers.

Well according to an informants leaked tip, Google may stop allowing advertisements to be displayed on any domain that is still in the “domain tasting” period. In the article, it states that since fewer domains will be monetized, we will all be paid more for the clicks we do receive. Now that is always nice, but I think the key

Digitalpoint has an advertising Co-op that allows you to build up to thirty million links.  It is completely free and anyone can join.  After signing up, you then add 3-5 links on every one of your pages, and this earns you more linking power (coop weight). The more weight you have, the more links to your site you rec

SEOMeter is a new analytics tool that tracks how often Google is crawling your website, and they win my gratitude as being the first to order a paid review. SEOMeter displays graphs of your blog/site and the related crawl cycles (CC), which are how often Google visits your blog for new content. If you have a crawl cycle of 1.0,

Just in the last few days, Google has deemed my blog worthy of a “Faster” crawl rate. I enabled the option yesterday and Google viewed my blog 270 times when the daily average is 70. With this new faster crawling, my blog posts are getting spidered, indexed, and cached in a matter of hours… sometimes even within minutes. If yo

Now before this post results in thirty comments saying how inaccurate Alexa’s site popularity measurement is, I completely agree. The matter of the fact is that some advertising agencies still use Alexa to price how much you will earn for advertising on your blog. If you can improve your Alexa rank, it will mean that you will c

Every week I will announce one winner who I will send $25 via Paypal. The weekly winner contest will run forever, allowing many people to be able to win a $25 prize. Every week I will also give a link to the winners blog, and that winner will also be eligible to receive any additional prizes that were donated that week. For those people who a

My congratulations go to Larry Page, a co-founder and chief executive at Google. Less than two days ago Larry Page married Lucy Southworth on Necker Island. The marriage was supposed to be held privately and confidential, but all of the details were leaked through the use of a few Google searches. Planning and executing a billionaire wedding

One very large problem that a lot of blogs have (or will soon have) to deal with automated blogs that steal your blog posts and post them on their blog. The process is entirely automated and a great post that takes you three hours to write, they duplicate in 5 seconds. If Google would then view their blog before yours, they would rank higher

Browsing around on the internet I have discovered a lot of blogs that spam keywords in them. They generally use the same keyword every 5 words and make it bold or strong. This is really annoying for readers to keep focus, and I absolutely hate it. Write for readers, not for search engines. Everyone should focus on growing their authority b

Google has just recently launched Google Knol. Right now it is in private invitational beta, but it looks promising. It is dubbed as a competitor to Wikipedia and looks like it also combines all of the best features of Squidoo in it. Believe me or not, but they took the idea from my suggestion last month, so I am proud to say Google used s

Well thanks to a few successful product launches as well as lots of promotion on BloggingZoom, my website has just reached my first RSS milestone. I had originally set a goal to break 100 in the first 6 months because I had never done any blogging before, but I beat that goal by a long shot (under 2 months). I hope I can hit 1000 in a few m

Right after BloggingZoom, Mixx is my favorite place to promote my blog because it also has a great community. My posts do not always make it to the homepage like they do on BloggingZoom, but Mixx still brings in a lot of additional readers and subscribers. I recommend you utilize both networks to build your blog upon, and since both sites a
