Add Meta Tags to Blogger for Better SEO

In this Blogger tutorial I will show you the best way to add meta tags to your Blogger blog (Blogspot blog) to improve the SEO of your blog and work around the limitations of the Blogger platform.

I have observed that there are many Blogger help blogs out there telling you to just add meta tags however this will very likely achieve the opposite result from the one you are after. Whether you are yet to add meta tags or you have added meta tags already make sure you read and follow the methods contained in this article to get the best results.

What are Meta Tags?
Meta tags are HTML tags that provide additional information about your blog that is unseen by visitors but available to search engines. The meta description tag, for example, provides a short summary of the page content. The keyword meta tags show the keywords and keyword phrases a visitor might use to find your blog. Because of abuse of meta tags search engines have become smarter and most no longer place emphasis on keywords to establish page ranking however keyword meta tags are still used by some search engines so it is a good idea to include them.

Limitations of Blogger and SEO
One of the disappointing aspects of Blogger is that it is not properly optimized for SEO. Meta descriptions and keywords are not supported by blogger.com by default. Title tags are also not optimized. This means that you will miss valuable opportunities to attract visitors to your blog.

However meta tags and meta descriptions can be inserted into your Blogger template (Blogspot template) to good effect. Fortunately these work arounds will go a long way to improving the placement of your blog in search engine results. Please refer to adjust Blogger title tags for improved SEO for help with title tags.

Simply placing a meta tag description in your Blogger template is problematic because Blogger will use the same meta tags for all pages in your blog. This means that every entry that Google has for your site will show in search results with the same description. This solution would result in reduced traffic rather than increased traffic. However there is a way to add meta tags to the home page of your blog only which will not affect post pages in your blog. In this way visitors will find the home page of your blog in search engines by the use of appropriate keywords and a site description.

How to Add Meta Tags to a Blogger Blogspot Blog Home Page
1. Login to Blogger if not already logged in

2. Navigate to Design > Edit HTML

3. Back up your template as a precaution by downloading full template to your computer.

4. Check the Expand Widget Templates box

5. Find these lines which will be near the top of your template:





6. Paste the following code immediately below



name='keywords'/>

7. Enter your blog description between the single quote marks under description. Maximum 150 characters

8. Enter the keywords of your blog between the single quote marks under keywords. Ensure you separate each keyword or keyword phrase by a comma. Make sure your keywords do not exceed 200 characters

By way of example here are the meta tags I use for the home page of Blog Know How:



name='keywords'/>

9. Click on the Save Template button

10. To see your description in action you can either navigate to your blog's home page and click on view source in your browser. In Internet Explorer you will find this option in the view menu. A text document will appear which you can scroll through. You will see your description near the top of the document. Alternatively you can check your description in a free Meta Tag Analyzer tool such as Submit Express or SEO Centro


How to Add Meta Tags to a Blogger Blogspot Blog Individual Post
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 as for adding meta tags to the Home Page

2. Add the following in the section of your Blogger template. Enter this code below the Home Page code above you have just entered:





Here is an example of optimized meta tags for this post:






3. Add your post URL, keywords and description. To find the URL of your post navigate to the post's page and copy the link showing in the address bar of your browser including the http:// prefix

4. Click on the Save Template button

5. To check your description you can use the view source in your browser once you have navigated to the post page or a meta tag analyzer

Note: This method is suitable if you have a few key posts that you want to ensure you get maximum traffic on. If you have a lot of posts this manual method would be very tedious. I don't know of any automated method or script to add meta tags at this point but I am investigating it and will keep you posted.


Analyze Your Blogspot Blogger Meta Tags
Once you have added meta tags to your blog you can use tools to analyze them to ensure their relevance. Aim for meta tag relevancy to page content of above 90%. To check this you can use a free meta tag analyzer tool such as Submit Express or SEO Centro


Troubleshooting and Tips

• Observe Character Limits
  To avoid problems ensure that you keep within the maximum character limits:
  
  

  Title Tag - Maximum Characters is 60
  Site Description - Maximum Characters is 150
  Keywords - Maximum Characters is 200

• Title Tag Tweak
  If you have inserted the title tag tweak and it is highly recommended that you do so then you will need to add the code above after the title tag adjustment in the section of your template. Read more about adjusting title tags
  
• Keywords
  Although some search engines no longer place too much emphasis on keywords some still do so it is worth adding keywords. Avoid using the same keyword more than 3 times. The maximum number of keywords recommended to be robot friendly is around 20.
  
• Problems Reading the Code
  Some readers have reported problems with their browser reading this code. Try this document form of the article if this happens to you

In this Blogger meta tag tutorial I have discussed the best way to add meta tags to a Blogger blog (Blogspot blog) to improve search engine results given the limitations of the Blogger platform. In this article you have learned to add both meta tags for keywords and descriptions to the home page. You have also learned how to add meta tags to an individual post. To optimize your meta tags I have included links to free meta tag analyzer tools.

Blogger Blogspot SEO Tips and Tricks

Want to improve SEO on a Blogspot Blogger blog? This tutorial discusses how bloggers can optimize their blog using SEO techniques to improve indexing of their Blogger Blogspot blog and achieve a better ranking in search engine results.

In this article I will be discussing the following Blogger help tips for SEO:

• Adding Your Blogger Blog to Major Search Engines
• Optimizing Blogger Post Titles
• Utilising Meta Keywords and a Meta Description
• Using Keywords in Alt Tags and Image Titles
• Using Target Keywords in Your Post Content
• Optimizing Blogger Title Tags
• Optimizing Your Blogger Permalinks
• Making Use of HTML Heading Tags Within Posts and Post Titles
• Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to your Blogger Blog

Get Your Blog Listed by Major Search Engines
Getting listed in the major search engines is a must if you want to get traffic from search engines. I have written several in depth articles about how to add a sitemap to major search engines and how to add your blog to Google, Yahoo and MSN so I will not repeat myself. Follow these articles for step by step walkthroughs

Optimize Your Blogger Post Titles
Major search engines lend a lot of weight to titles so it is important that you craft your post titles carefully. To optimize your post titles make them keyword rich and ensure the title clearly explains what the blog post is about. Try to put your keywords at the beginning of your title for best results and avoid repeating your keywords within the title. Avoid long titles as Google only displays about 65 characters in the search results anyway.

Title tags are important if your Blogger blog is to attract traffic and rank in search engine results. On your blog home page the blog title appears between the title tags while on each individual post page it is the name of the article itself. While the title tags themselves are unseen by the visitor to your blog they are read when search engines crawl your blog.

Search engines use title tags to display your post title as a headline in search engine results. Search engines also display a description of the article either by extracting it from the post content usually by picking up the first 150 characters of your post or by reading the meta description of the post if one exists.

Meta descriptions can be crafted for individual posts in Blogger to good effect. Make descriptions unique for each post and ensure they contain your target keywords and keyword phrases to encourage search engines to extract snippets from them. To find out more about adding a meta description to an individual post please see my article Adding Meta Tags to Blogger Blogspot Blog for Better SEO


Add Meta Tags and Blog Description to Blogger
Adding meta keywords and a blog description to your Blogger Blogspot blog can boost your rankings by helping visitors locate your blog using keyword and keyword phrases. To find out the best method of inserting these into your Blogger blog please refer to my article about Adding Meta Tags to Blogger Blogspot Blog for Better SEO


Use Keywords in Alt Tags and Image Titles
Optimize the images used on your blog by making use of the alt tags and image titles. For some tips on SEO and images please refer to 10 Tips to Build Site Traffic for a Blogspot Blog


Use Target Keywords in Your Post Content
Make sure you know your targeted keywords and use them within your post content. One of the factors in determining rankings is the relevance of the targeted keywords in relationship to the text that appears in the post content.


Change the Order of Post Title and Blog Title for Better SEO
One key change you can make to Blogger that will markedly improve the SEO of your blog is to adjust the title tags.

By default Blogger title tags are not optimized for search engines. The name of the blog appears before the name of the article which is not search engine friendly. Since search engines read left to right and give preference to what appears first having your blog name display before your post title is significant. To improve SEO it pays to adjust the order of title tags so that the your post title appears first:

Blog Title | Post Title

to

Post Title | Blog Title

To find out how to adjust the title tags of a Blogger Blogspot blog please refer to my article Adjust Blogger Title Tags to Improve SEO


Optimize Your Blogger Permalinks
Hand in hand with a title tag is the permanent permalink that is created when a post is published. If the title of the post is more than about 35 characters long you will strike problems with Blogger because it will shorten the title to a 35-40 character permalink. Some very ugly results happen because of this factor. For instance imagine a permalink such as:

http://blogknowhow.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-create-improved-permalinks-for.html

A totally useless permalink results because the blogger keyword has been left off. Learn more about crafting titles and working around the limitations of Blogger permalinks in my article How to Create Search Engine Friendly Permalinks



Improve SEO by Making Use of Headings for Post Titles
Heading tags are important for optimal SEO. Most Blogger.com templates use html header tags sized

or

for the post title. In the past major search engines like Google gave precedence to tags with

ahead of anything else but how important

tags are today is less certain. You could tweak the heading size of your post title if you wish however take care to ensure the look of your template isn't compromised. A bigger font will result and this may mean other parts of your blog will need to be adjusted to compensate. To find out what size your blog title is look for the following lines in your template.

&t/a>

As can be seen this template blog title is in

. To change the size of the tags just substitute the appropriate header tag where

appears


Improve SEO By Making Use of Heading Tags Within Posts
Heading tags can be used to good effect in your posts. Make sure you have only one

heading per page if you have one at all and reserve this for your post title. Make use of

and

headings throughout your post to emphasize key points and targeted keywords. Major search engines do take notice of

and

headings when crawling your blog. To add emphasis to a heading within your blog simply enclose the heading in

tags.


Add Breadcrumb Navigation to your Blogger Blog
There is a hack that can be used to add breadcrumb navigation to a Blogger Blogspot blog. Adding breadcrumb navigation can boost your SEO of your blog as well as improving how readers get around.


A breadcrumb provides text-based navigation by displaying the visitor's location within a blog. A breadcrumb provides shortcuts to enable visitors to quickly get around your blog and jump from one part of your blog to another. For example a breadcrumb for a post about meta tags would be Home > Meta Tags >Add Meta Tags to Blogger for Better SEO. An anchor text such as 'meta tags' tells search engines about the subject of the linked page. Search engines view a breadcrumb with a text link to relevant keywords in the post as important.

To find out how to add a breadcrumb navigation to your Blogger Blogspot blog please refer to my article Add Breadcrumb Navigation to a Blogger Blog

4. Switch to the Edit HTML mode rather than compose mode so you can see the code you are inserting into your post
   
5. Create a couple of headings that will be your links to material further down in your Blogger article. Note you can also just jump to a word but for the purposes of this demonstration and clarity I am going to use headings. When creating this post I used the following headings:

6. Add links to your headings like so:

   How to Create Internal Links To Sections Within Different Blogger Posts

   
   
   • The href attribute and closing element is the same structure you use for other links in your blog
     
   • Each identifier is preceded by a hash mark (#). The # tells the visitor's browser to look for a section within your post
     
   • Each link identifier needs its own unique identifier and needs to be enclosed in inverted commas. Use a name that reflects the link you are creating if possible as it will make it easier to identify on a page with a lot of internal jump links.
7. Now go to the first point in your post where you want to jump the reader to. This will be the start of some new idea, section or logical split in the information.
   
8. At this point create your anchor text by first adding your heading and then enclosing your heading with this anchor structure.
   
   

   a heading

   
   
   • Note the use of the name attribute at the beginning and the element at the end
     
   • Each link identifier needs to be enclosed in inverted commas. Make sure to match up the correct identifier with the one created in step 6
   
   
   Using this anchoring structure our first anchor becomes:
   
   

   How to Create Internal Links To Sections Within the Same Blogger Post

   
   Substitute your own link identifier and headings
   
9. Now move on to the next point you want to link to and create the second anchor. In this example we use the same structure but change the identifier

My Personal SEO Method i use to Rank My Clients

Hi guys, Let me first introduce my self. I have been in the Internet Marketing Field for the last 6 years and i have learned a lot of things the hard way. I am proud to say that i have worked with the Insurance Team for over 3 years. I have also learnt a lot with this website and i think now its my time to share something that i have learnt.

All the tutorials that i have seen (both paid & free) have only been telling about finding the easiest keywords to target using keyword research and how to rank them. And most of them tell the same things over and over.

I have also noticed that most of the tutorials teach about ranking for just one product / Website. What if you have an eCommerce website with 100's of products? This tutorial will explain you how to do SEO for an eCommerce Website.

REMEMBER: This was done with a team of 3.

The Challenge
The website i got had about 200,000 products and they were not ranking for any of them. The ON page was poorly done and the sales were very bad. So something has to be done to come over this situation as they have already spent millions of dollars on inventory.

Preparing for the SEO Campaign

The first challenge for me was to choose the right product to target. Since there are a lot of products, i started doing some research on the best selling products. You can go to Amazon and look for the products and see how well they are selling. The main factor i chose was the price of the product. Here are the steps i followed to choose the right product.

1. Choose a random category
2. Find the products in that category in Amazon
3. Check the reviews. If more reviews then the product is selling well. You can also just Google the product name and see the popularity of that product.
4. See if you can give the least price than any one who is selling online. If yes, then you just chose the right product.

I Finally found the products and requested the website owner to lower the price than the current market price. (Even if you can lower $5 it will make a big difference)

Now i have the products but i will not try to rank for the products as there was not much search for that brand / product name. Instead, people had searched for the Category and found the product and bought it. So i am going to target the Category name as my keyword.

Now that i have the keyword to target, i am going to start the SEO process.

Now i have asked my guys to start getting the resources i needed. Here are they,

1. One Nice video about the category with watermark of our website.
2. Create one 750 word unique article regarding the keyword. It must state the benefits of the product, comparison if available and should be 100% unique and professional.
3. Create a PDF about the category and products with watermark of our website url.
4. Create a power point presentation about the category and product with our website url in all slides.
5. Create 15 review articles about the products with 500 words each.

I have split my keywords into 3. Here are they,

1. Category Name
2. Best Category Name
3. Buy Category Name

Here are the Search Analysis for the above keywords:

1. Category Name

Global Monthly Searches: 60,500
Local Monthly Searches: 40,500
Competition Level: High

2. Best Category Name

Global Monthly Searches: 1,600
Local Monthly Searches: 1,300
Competition Level: High

3. Buy Category Name

Global Monthly Searches: 260
Local Monthly Searches: 140
Competition Level: High

Notice the Big difference in the 1st keyword and the other 2 keywords? It was done purposely. As you know it will take a bunch of time to rank for the first keyword. But i don't have the time to make my client wait that long. So i have taken all these 3 keywords into account and do the SEO for all these 3 keywords. I know that the 2nd and 3rd keyword will rank in just a couple of days and i can show some results to build the trust with the client and then focus on ranking the main keyword.

Now there as another problem. There were 6 products in that category. The category page was very simple with just the product name with no contents. It was a big problem. The URL was also very deep. So i went ahead and created a new page. Here are some of the things i did.

1. Made sure the url had the category name in it.
2. The title was made as "Buy the Best Category Name From Just $112" (I have used the price

because i have the lowest price in the market from that product). You can also notice that i

have combined all the 3 keywords into the title.
3. Added the necessary keywords and description. I made sure the description also included the price and it started with the keywords.
3. Added a 750 words unique article in that page.
4. Added all the 6 products with 200 words unique description. All the products were linked to the product page.
5. Added a nice header image to make the landing page look more product oriented and show customers that we are serious about this business.

Now i have my landing page done. It was way better than the previous category page.

Next thing i did was i went ahead and bought a new domain with "buycategoryname". I am going to use this website as a review website for the products i am going to sell. It will have a

Home Page, Review page for the products and a blog page.

Here are the following things i did on that website

1. Hosted the website in a completely new server location (This is very important. Never host your other website along with the main website)
2. Installed Wordpress
3. Install a nice theme
4. Installed the following plugins: All in one SEO Pack, SEO Friendly Images, SEO Search Terms Tagging 2, SEO Smart Links, SEO Super Comments, wptouch, smart youtube, w3 cache, Google XML Site maps.
5. Added a 500 word article with images and videos.
6. Created the product pages with affiliate links to the main website (just add ?utm_source=yourname in the url to make it look like an affiliate website. This is very important. Do not give direct links)
7. Wrote a simple blog by taking reviews from Amazon and told about how people like this product. I will be writing one blog every day.

All this was done in 2 days. So now i have all the necessary resources required to kick start my SEO campaign.

The White Hat 70% :

Day 1:

STEP 1:
First thing i did was to add these 2 links to the webmaster tool. To do this,

1. Login to your webmaster tool
2. Add your websites if you have already not done that.
3. Go to Diagnostics -> Fetch as Google Bot
4. Add the URL and click on Fetch
5. Click on Submit to Index.


STEP 2:
Next i submitted the websites to the following pinging services.

1. Webmasterdesk
2. imtalk - IMT website submitter
3. freebacklinktool

STEP 3:
I now upload the video i created to the following websites:

1. youtube
2. funnyjunk
3. jokeroo
4. supershare
5. dekhona
6. howcast
7. metacafe

I know there are other websites out there but most of them will remove your video as it will be very promotional.

Important: Make sure to include the main website's url in the description tag. Make sure to give different titles and different descriptions on each websites.

STEP 4:
I Uploaded the PDF you created to Scribd. Once uploaded, Save the URL somewhere. Remember to save all the Final Urls. Then ping the URL with the above mentioned services.

STEP 5:
I Uploaded the Powerpoint Presentation to Slideshare. Again Ping the URL with the above websites.

STEP 6:
I Took the 15 articles i created, hand spin them (Important dont use Replace everyone's favorite) Hand spin each sentence and each words. Then upload them to the following websites.

Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly, Wikia, Wikispaces, Posterous, Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogspot, Zimbio, Skyrock, MyLivePage, Bukisa, Infobarrel, blog

Make sure to create the username as your keywords. Make sure to use different titles in each website but the title should somewhere have the Keywords.
Embed the YouTube video somewhere in the website and give just one link to the main website with the keywords as the anchor text. Remember not to use the same anchor text.

STEP 7:
I Ran a SENUKE Blast with : Article Directory, Social Network, Social Bookmarking and Indexer. Here use your own spinned articles. Do this manually even captcha. It will not take a lot of time.

STEP 8:
While the blast is running, i take the final 15 URLs from the list on Step 6 and PING with the services mentioned above.

STEP 9:
I collected all the final URLs along with my main website and Bookmarked them using Social Bookmarking Daemon. After that i pinged the URLs.

STEP 10:
I Used Links2rss and generated a RSS feed of all the URLs i got above.

STEP 11:
I Used Senuke to create a new RSS Feeds blast to all RSS Directories using the list from links2rss

All this was done on Day 1 for both the websites. It was slightly modified for the new domain.
Google has already found the website but the rankings were in 300's

For days 2-7 I followed the Steps 6 - 11. No need to create new Videos for every day. But you have to make sure you finish everything in one day.

The Black Hat 30% :

I went ahead and scheduled 10 senukex blast every day for 7 days. Here is how i did.

1. For the main website i used the Full Monty template with some changes. As its a aged domain with lots of indexed pages, it is safe. I Scheduled 1 blast every day
2. For the new website i used a kind of simple pyramid template and scheduled it to blast once every 2 days. So totally 3 times in the 7 days.
3. I added few additional pinger and indexer projects.
4. For contents i just used the inbuilt content generator with Thebestspinner API.

I have a dedicated computer running just for Senukex so it was just set and forget.

At the end of Day 7, Here are the rankings:

Main Website:

Category Name - 8
"Category Name" - 3

New Website:

Category Name - 7
"Category Name" - 1


The google dance was very prominent and some times i even went to page 60+ from page 2. I just did what i was doing and did not stop anything because of google dance. Always remember google dance is a good thing because google is deciding where to place you.. So if you stop what you were doing, it will place you in a very bad position.

This was done before 1 month and we already got about 6000 units sold via SEO. I am going to run this entire process again to improve its ranking.

Thanks for reading this and post any questions you have.. I will be glad to assist you.

ALWAYS REMEMBER : ITS NOT THE QUANTITY OF BACK LINKS ITS THE QUALITY OF THOSE LINKS THAT MATTERS.

My Personal SEO Method Proven Effective!!!

This is my personal SEO method that I have developed with experience with my own sites and my clients' sites. This method isn't a lot of work every day and some days are easier than others. It is a 7 day cycle, but I only work Monday-Friday so it lasts more than a week for me. You can work through the weekend if you would like. This works great if you have many sites that you have to work on or want to work on more than just a few clients' sites every day. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY KIND OF PENALTY ON THE SERPS WITH ANY SITE.

Prerequisites:
Have a private blog network that you own. It doesn't have to be very large and it can be all on free sub-domains if you want to save money. 5-10 blogs is enough in most situations.
Create a free Blogger blog for each site that you market for.
Create a Link Market account for each Blogger blog.
Join a couple forums related to your niche.
Scrape blog posts related to your niche that you can MANUALLY comment on.

Tools:
AMR
Sick Submitter
Coach Tyler's Duplicate Content Checker or another duplicate checker
Get Article
Captcha Sniper or other captcha solver
Scrapebox
Some kind of article spinner
Article Submission Helper (Free Tool - Optional)
AutoBlog Samurai (Optional)

Day 1:
Scrape an article with Get Article. Rewrite this article to at least 40% unique per one word phrase, 60% unique per two word phrase, and 80% unique per three word phrase using Coach Tyler's Duplicate Content Checker (Free Tool). Also, rewrite the title and write a summary and resource box for the content link wheel and the bulk article submission in the following days. Now that it is rewritten, you have to MANUALLY spin the article with two variations on the sentence level to have 3 sentence spins available. Don't waste your time with synonym replacement in the article body. Manually spin the title three times as well. Also, do synonym spinning on the summary, title, and two resource boxes. Now you have your prepared article for the cycle.

Day 2:
Content Link Wheel:
You are going to submit spun versions of the article to the best article directories as well as some auto approve directories to make a content link wheel. You don't need a lot of sites to do this with and you can use Article Submission Helper (Free Tool) to make this faster. I only use around 20-30 sites. Your resource box should have one link to the money site and the other link will be pointing to the last auto approved submission. Start the link wheel with the Blogger because you have full access to edit this article, which will be needed to complete the link wheel.

Example – Post to Blogger, Post to EZA with link back to Blogger blog, post to Articles Base with link back to Blogger, post to Idea Marketers with link back to Blogger, post to Ezine Mark with link back to Idea Marketers, go back and edit the Blogger post and link it to the Idea Marketers post.

Bulk Article Submission:
Don't overdo the article submissions. If you get between 50-100 articles approved that is just fine. Too many will look spammy and take down the effectiveness of the submission. Use AMR or another bulk submitter to submit the prepared article from Day 1 to sites. Your resource box should have two links to the money site or if you only have one keyword, one link to the money site and the other link will point to random articles from a previous cycle of article submissions.

Day 3:
Document Submissions:
Make a PDF and a Powerpoint of a spun version of the prepared article. On each page there should be a raw link to the money site. This gives link variety and looks natural. Submit the documents to the top document sharing sites. I use between 10-15 sites. Collect all links. Create an RSS Feed with the list with Sick Submitter. Submit the feed to RSS directories with Sick Submitter.

Forum Profiles:
Create forum profiles with Sick Submitter. Anything under 100 is safe. This is my method: For the first 10 cycles, I create around 100 with various platforms. After cycle 10, I only create profiles on vBulletin sites (around 5-10 per cycle) and utilize the Recent Profile Visitors widget to get thousands of internal backlinks to the profile to make the profiles have authority.

Day 4:
Submit the forum profiles to BulkPing.com, PingDevice.com, and whatever other bulk ping site that you want to submit to. If you opt to do my method with forum profiles, get the internal links to the profile today. I use Robotsoft Mouse Recorder to automate the process easily. Create a blog post on the Blogger blog with raw links to the forum profiles. Ping the post with Ping-O-Matic or another pinging service. OPTIONAL – Submit the post to Social Monkee to get it bookmarked on 25 sites.

Day 5:
Update all the accepted article from the link wheel and the bulk submission. Use a tool like Sick Link Checker to verify that your site's backlink is on the article page, as some sites will approve your article and remove your link, especially with AMR. Once you have that completed list, submit the list to BulkPing.com and PingDevice.com. Use Scrapebox to comment on thousands of auto approve blog posts with the links pointing to random articles. DON'T USE SCRAPEBOX TO BACKLINK TO YOUR SITE.

Day 6:
With the finalized list of articles that you created yesterday, bookmark the articles with Sick Submitter, or another bookmarking tool like BMD or AutoPligg. Get all the bookmarks and submit them to BulkPing.com and PingDevice.com.

Day 7:
Create a blog post on the Blogger blog with raw links to the finalized articles that you found on Day 5. Ping the post with Ping-O-Matic and submit it to Social Monkee if you want it bookmarked for free. Get on Link Market and accept every single link exchange request that you get for the Blogger blog.

Daily:
MANUALLY comment on the blog posts related to your niche. My method is to comment on 3-4 a day. Easy and works great if you know some platforms that are auto approve and not spammed. Also, post on the forums related to your niche daily with your backlink in your signature. Make smart posts and actually contribute to the community unless you want to continually get banned for spamming.

Behind the scenes:
You should collect every single link that you create. With those, you will work on indexing every single link. With your private blog network: You will need a source of original content and a lot of it. If you are creative and have a day or so to search, it won't be a problem. I found over 20 thousands unpublished articles in a couple hours. Using AutoBlog Samurai, or manually if you wish, schedule posts about every 3-5 hours with around 5 backlinks per article. I just go in and randomly add the link to certain phrases. Do this constantly and your links will index nicely. However, adding some more power doesn't hurt! With Status.Net Sites: You can join a few status.net sites and use these sites for indexing purposes. All you have to do is create a macro (or if you are like me you can just use Robotsoft Mouse Recorder to automate this) and submit links to the sites between non-link posts to avoid getting banned for spam.


After you are done with a cycle, just continue with another one. This has been proven to be very effective for me and especially my SEO clients, which I obviously work harder for. My client has been in the top 5 for a while now using this method and the keyword gets 165,000 searches on exact match every month. If that isn't proof that this method works, I don't know what is! Feel free to ask me questions!

4-22 UPDATE: I will be adding more web 2.0 site submissions and press release submissions to this template so check back soon for an updated cycle!

The 10 Great SEO tips for your site

#1 Content
As cliché as it sounds this is the number one for any search marketing strategy, it is impossibly important to ensure that you have content worth viewing. Without this one simply step to ensure that there is a reason for someone to be on your site, everything else is useless. There are a lot of great sites to find inspiration for writing great content that works.

#2 Incoming Links
A link is a link is a link, but without the simplest form you aren’t going to do well in search engines. The more links you have the more often you are going to be crawled. It is also important to make sure that you have the proper anchor text for your incoming links. The easiest way to gain quality links from other sites is to link to sites to let them know your site is there and hope for a reciprocal link. It is also important to make sure that you have content that is worth linking to on your site.

#3 Web site title
Making sure that you have the right web site titles for your pages is extremely important. The keywords you place in your title are important in order to ensure that your topic is understood by Google. One of the primary factors for ranking is if the title is on-topic with the search results. Not only is it important for robots to index and understand the topic of the page either. It is important for click-through rates in the search results. Pay attention to what you click on when you are searching in Google, I know that I don’t always click the first results. Using great titles and topics on your site will bring you more traffic than a number one listing. Most of the time it is within the first page, but I skim through the titles to see which looks to be more on-topic for my search query.

#4 Heading tags
When you are laying out your site’s content you have to be sure that you are creating the content flow in such a way that the heading tags are based on prominence. The most prominent of course being the h1 tag, which says “this is what this block of copy is about.” Making sure you understand heading tag structure is very important. You only want to have one (or two) h1 tags per a page. It is important to not just throw anything into an h1 tag and hope you rank for it.

#5 Internal Linking
Making sure that your internal linking helps robots (and visitors!) to find the content on your site is huge. Using relevant copy throughout your site will tell the robots (and visitors!) more effectively what to expect on the corresponding page. You do want to make sure that on pages you don’t want to rank in Google that you add a nofollow tag to ensure that the ranking flow of your site corresponds with your site’s topic and interests. No one is going to be searching Google to find out what your terms of service or privacy policy are.

#6 Keyword Density
Ensuring that you have the right keyword density for your page and sites topic is paramount. You don’t want to go overboard and use the keyword every 5th word but making sure it “comes up” often is going to help you rank better in search engines. The unspoken rule is no more then 5% of the total copy per a page. Anymore then this and it can start to look a little spammy. Granted, you aren’t shooting for 5% every time. It is really all about context and relevance— just make sure it is good, quality copy.

#7 Sitemaps
It is always a good idea to give search engines a helping hand to find the content that is on your site. Making sure that you create and maintain a sitemap for all of the pages on your site will help the search robots to find all of the pages in your site and index them. Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask all support sitemaps and most of them offer a great way to ensure that it is finding your sitemap. Most of the time you can simply name it sitemap.xml and the search robot will find the file effectively.

#8 Meta Tags
Everyone will tell you that meta tags don’t matter, they do. The biggest thing they matter for is click-through though. There will be a lot of times when Google will use your meta description as the copy that gets pulled with your search listing. This can help to attract the visitor to visit your web site if it is related to their search query. Definitely a much overlooked (as of late) ranking factor. Getting indexed by search engines and ranking well is just the first step. The next, and biggest, step is getting that visitor that searched for your keywords to want to click on your search listing.

#9 URL Structure
Ensuring that your URL structure compliments the content that is on the corresponding page is pretty important. There are various methods to make this work, such as modrewrite on apache.

#10 Domain
It can help to have keywords you are interested in ranking for within your domain, but only as much as the title, heading and content matters. One very important factor that is coming to light is that domain age is important. The older the site or domain, the better it is not spam and can do well in search results. The domain age definitely isn’t a make or break factor but it does help quite a bit.
