Write For Readers And Design For Bots

post image

Content is all about Search Engine this is what we as bloggers work very hard to achieve, getting good ranking means having  fully optimized pages but we often forget that we should write for readers and not Search Engines, yes when writing your content your readers should be priority and when designing your website your design should take Search Engine in mind. Before you digest this i must emphasize i am no expert neither with search Engines nor Website Designing i just share my opinion which are solely mines and also my experience with my readers. now lets get back to the main purpose of this post.

Creating unique content is very important for our blogs, using keywords, Bold texts and keyword rich titles are all important factors for search engine rankings and these also helps your readers identifies the importance of the topics.

Ask most Bloggers and writers they try as much as possible to include Keywords in their post, we al realize from some time ago that the inclusion of keywords in your posts is very important, However the key factors here is to ensure that your content is unique and readable for your readers however they are humans not robots and most readers will agree with you that having unique content is what makes your blog great.

Content is King how many times have you read that ?,well i am letting you in a little secret never forget that  king needs a Castle, this is where your Design skills play its part. With that said it is fair to say that your website design is the second most important area of concern for your blog.

Designing for Search Engines is where your SEO skills or your knowledge can and should play its part. Writing brilliant content is great but not having your pages indexed is a disaster it is like having a blog without content or writing rubbish. Having a sitemap and good structured navigation are prerequisites of a good website design. Another factor is that text based navigation should be preferred to flash or JavaScript structured navigation if your website is design using flash you should always place navigational text base links at the bottom of your website to compensate the flash ones. This will make it easier for the bots to follow and index your pages.

Keywords Placing these in the first paragraph is advisable this gives the belief that search engines place emphasis on this and also when the content is place closer to the top of your pages. The two main layouts seen today is the navigations on the left content on the right or the opposite where the content is on the left on the navigations on the right whatever layout you choose is a choice of yours the main focus should be that your pages are design that they are easily crawled and indexed.

The main purpose of optimizing your website is to ensure that your contents get index by all the major search engines and also the lesser ones. Writing unique and readable content should be at the top of your agenda and secondly designing your pages in such away that  they are easily indexed should be every website owners main goals. I have said my views now leave your comments have your say and remember to retweet of share on twitter.

5 Link Building Tips

You probably know by now some methods of building links. Today, I will tell you how you should go about building these links. Now I know you don't like introductions, These are some simple tips i am about to to share with you but i must warned you i am no expert just a simple blogger who shares some tips and idea with you so here we go:

1) Try To Forget That You Are Building Links

When you are building links, try to pretend you are not only in it for the actual link. Think like you're there to contribute. This makes it much more likely for your comment to be accepted or for your forum post not to get deleted. In addition, you build reputation for being an expert. Best of all, this is extremely easy!

2) Quality Over Quantity

In SEO, quality is more important than quantity. This is especially true when building links. You can have 1000 low quality links, but 1 high quality link triumphs over them. It's even easier to build a few high quality links than thousands of low quality ones. Just remember that when analyzing your back links don't focus to much on the actual number of back links, rather how powerful they are.

3) Be Persuasive

If you build links using methods such as guest posting, you have to convince bloggers to let you link to your website. But how do you do this? There are many ways, but in my opinion, the best way to convince a blogger to link to you is to throw something in for them. Don't pay them however, as this is the same as a paid link. Do a favour for them, if you have experience in SEO, consult them. Do anything that doesn't involve money or really hard work, because if you have to do that, either your website has terrible content, or you are dealing with a terrible blogger.

4) Make Sure Your Site Is Worth Linking To

This tip builds off the previous one: is your website worth linking to?  Make your website worthy of linking. Think to yourself: Why would I link to my site? If you can't find a reason, you may want to add some content to your site that is worth linking to and then try again.

5) Use Methods That Produce Quality Links

This tip builds off tip #2... Don't waste your time building thousands of worthless links while you could just spend an hour on building one high quality link that overpowers them put together. You should use methods like guest posting and article marketing if you want to see your website become a success. These are just five link building tips for you to apply there are many more just be creative and as usual don’t forget to retweet or share this post on face book .

Why Do Bloggers Blog

This is a topic i have contemplated for a very long time and now i will share this with you so as to get your input and believe it or not i haven’t come up with a straight forward answer, so i asked myself the question why do i blog? this i think i can answer two reasons the first is for money and the second i enjoy writing and expressing myself.

We all blog for different reasons some blog for fun, some blog for profit and others blog because of their writing skills and need some where to showcase their talent so the world will be able to see and at the same time promote their skill. Blogging for profit should be one of the main reason why we blog. Lets face it the truth is that the hosting bills have to be paid unless you are using one of the free services like Blogger or Wordpress  then you don't have those over head cost.

Making money from your blog is great having a blog with lots of readers can make your blogs more popular and the more popular your blog gets the more traffic then that will leads to your blog been profitable.

The first blog created was an online journal where the author kept his entries in a reverse chronological  order meaning that the latest entries were seen first but over the years blogs have evolved and still continue to do so.

Whatever the reason why we blog the are always the opportunity for potential earnings and when we are about to create our blogs we should bear that in mind, what ever method you choose to monetize your blog the choice is yours, it could be Google ad sense or direct advertising by this i meant selling ad space directly to advertisers.

when i started Blogging i did not think munch about making money from my website i was more interesting in the design of my site and the amount of visitors i could attract as time goes by i realize that i could get some money from it so i sign up as a publisher with sites like Adbrite ,text-link-ads and others this is the point when i started to enjoy my Blogging.

Now what are the reasons why we blog share your ideas with us the number one reason for me is making money and some of you may agree with me and some may not what ever your thoughts are feel free to express it tell us your Blogging success,

Guest Posting

Guest posting is a very valued method of link building. Search engines put power to your links as they come from quality content in my earlier post i write about back links and how to get.

Guest posting is when you write an article for another site and put your back links at the end. You get a powerful back links  with little effort. Other sites may also link to your article, so your link has the potential of becoming even more powerful. Guest posting is a good method of link development and optimizing for search engines.

How to start guest posting:

Write an article! Most blogs have a minimum of 150-250 words, but try to make your article as long as possible. This will increase the chances of it being linked to. You should also learn how to link bait before doing this. To summarize, link baiting is the process of convincing the user to link to your article without telling them outright, or in other words, "attracting links". Link baiting is an important part of both guest posting and article writing.

The next step is to contact a popular blog that you want to make a post on the terms that you get to link to your websites at the end. Just make sure your website is related the the topic of the guest post, or the link won't help you as much.

Some blogs will want you to guest post, others won't. Some blogs will require you to contact them, others have a guest posting program to make the process much more smooth. Either way, there is almost always a way to get your guest post in there.

How effective is guest posting?

Major search engines consider blogs as good resources of information. Therefore, in general blogs are ranked high. When you get a link from a highly-ranked site, you can get your own site to be ranked higher. This means that guest posting is very effective.

In conclusion, it's pretty easy to start guest posting, and usually, it's worth your time. Guest posting is a very effective method of building links. All you have to do is write and article and submit it to the website you want a link from. You may have to edit the article a little bit, or your article may even be rejected altogether, but you can always submit your article to another website for approval. The main thing we must never forget is that writing guest post not only build back links but it also builds authority and let other bloggers and also your readers trust you.
