Longtails Ranked For With Correct Permalink Structure Posted: 27 Dec 2019 07:57 AM PST Guest Post by AlaskaBlogger. If you are a blogger then you give yourself the best chance to rank for long tail keywords, thereby increasing your earning ability with adsense, if you have proper sitewide coding. Most of the bloggers use WordPress. This is the most SEO friendly content management problem out there and Google loves it. WP sites get indexed and ranked quicker than any of the others found on the internet. Having said that you need to change the permalinks structure when you begin a new website or if you ever purchase a preexisting one. The default setting will look like this: http://randomblog/p?=123 While this is not the end of the world this is definitely not the optimal coding you would like for SEO purposes. Why WordPress is defaulted to have that structure, I do not know. But, I do know that many bloggers are losing a whole lot of money because of it. You need to go into your "Permalinks" settings and change the structure so that the permalinks contain your keywords in them. It should look like this: http://randomtheblog/how-to-change-permalinks That style complies to W3C standards and is easily read by the Google bots. Over time you will rank for all kinds of long keyword phrases having to do with that phrase if your website has any domain authority. The other way, well, lets hope you have tons of links and a high PR otherwise it will rank for very little. You need to have whatever you are talking about in the permalinks. That is one of the items that Google looks for when it is determining what your page is about. They look at the H1, H2, and content to get a feel for the post. Oh course, links play their role as well. If you have a bad permalinks structure then you need to make the changed today. But wait! You cannot just switch. It will be seen as duplicate content and your rankings will fall fast. Rather you will first have to download the plugin "Dean's Permalinks" which will do a 301 permanent redirect for you and then make the changes. If you are a blogger that wants to not only make great quality posts but money as well, preferably off Google Adsense, then you need to have the correct permalinks so that you can rank for as many terms and phrases as possible. You may be going after a specific keyword or group of keywords but you will find that half of your traffic comes from sources you did not even plan for. |

DISQUS Introduced the Thread Migration Tool to Import Old Comments Posted: 27 Dec 2019 07:21 AM PST When I moved this blog from Blogger to WordPress platform recently, I couldn't import the existing Disqus comments due to changes in the permanent link(URL) of posts. Disqus comment threads are based on the URL of the post.
So if the post URL changes, old comments will not be shown for the new URL even if we are using 301 permanent redirect for old post URLs. I have contacted the Disqus support team regarding this issue and they replied that a new tool is being developed to solve these problems. Surprisingly Disqus team introduced this tool last day! How to use DISQUS Thread Migration Tool
Thanks to Disqus. |

The New Official Alexa Traffic Rank Extension for Google Chrome Posted: 27 Dec 2019 07:11 AM PST Alexa Traffic Rank is another important factor apart from the Google PageRank, used to evaluate a website or blog. Installing the Alexa Rank extension or add-on in your web browser is one of the best way to assess the competitors and increase the traffic rank of your site. Remember, lower the number, higher is the traffic rank. You can read more about the Traffic Rank from their official website here. Few days back Alexa introduced their official Traffic Rank Extension for Google Chrome. This extension adds an icon to your browser which shows you graphically the rank of any site you are visiting and you can see the numeric value by hovering the cursor over the icon. Clicking the icon opens a frame showing more information about the site like how many domains linked to it, how well it is reviewed and related sites. You can also easily browse to Alexa's search analytics page for the site, or see what it looked like in the past at the Wayback Machine.

7 Best Multi-Author WordPress Plugins Posted: 27 Dec 2019 06:50 AM PST Multi-author blogging is one of the great features of wordpress blogs. There are a lot of plugins for the admins to manage a multi-author wordpress blog and some of them are just useless! Following are some wordpress plugins which I think are somewhat essential: Capability ManagerThe Capability Manager is the most popular and a must have plugin to manage role capabilities of editors or authors. It helps to change the capabilities of any role, add new roles, copy existing roles into new ones, and add new capabilities to existing roles. There is also an option to delegate these capabilities management to other users. Edit FlowThis plugin is recommended for the blogs having many authors publishing several posts a day. It helps to improve the wordPress admin interface for a multi-user newsroom's editorial workflow. The benefit of this plugin is that it improves the meta data on top of posts to better reflect the information that needs to be recorded about an assignment. This plugin adds five default statuses to the blog posts such as Assigned, Draft, Pending Review, Pitch and Waiting for Feedback. Author Advertising PluginAuthor Advertising plugin is recommended if you wish to make your wordpress blog a revenue sharing one. This plugin helps to create a revenue sharing program for your blog utilising one of the many advertising programs like Adsense, Amazon etc. The admin has complete control over the positioning and content of ads, the user level that an author has to be before they get to participate in the revenue sharing program, the percentage of author adverts to admin adverts and other privileges. User PhotoThis plugin allows an author to add a profile photo to their account through "Your Profile" page. Administrator can also add their profile photos through the the "Users" page. Images are resized to fit the dimensions specified on the options page and thumbnails are also generated. Author photos may be displayed within their posts or comments section. Author ExposedAuthor Exposed is a simple wordpress plugin that allows your visitors to see more details about the post author by clicking on the author link. Author details include information gathered from the author profile page and the gravatar photo. Email UsersThis is yet another great plugin for multi-author wordpress which allows you to send an email to the authors. Authors can also send personal emails to each other. Comment EmailerWordPress notify the post authors about the new comments in their posts. This notification email includes private information like user's email and ip-address disclosed to these authors. To avoid this and ensure the comments privacy, Comment-Emailer plugin can be used. It allows you to customize the email wordpress automatically sends when a new comment, pingback or trackback has been approved. You can change the sending email address, message body, and enable or disable all of the default options such as including the authors name, ipaddress, website, comment or reply to address.

New ‘Rich Text Signatures’ from Gmail Posted: 27 Dec 2019 06:36 AM PST We all like to brand our mails with proper signature with our name, a wish, an image or logo, website/blog link, social media links and so on. Gmail had the signature feature(plain text version) but we couldn't customize it to display it in 'our own way' like we do in a rich text editor . A lot of people suggested a rich text editor feature for this purpose. Since gmail love suggestions, this feature was introduced last day! You can customize your signature by going to Signature section under Settings from your gmail account. Take a look at my signature: There is an option to edit the signatures of all emails associated with your primary email account. You can chose the respective ones from the drop-down menu in the signature section. Currently, the rich text signatures are supported only on latest desktop version of Gmail. You have to rely on 'old' plain text version if you are using the older version, the HTML version and the mobile versions of Gmail. Enjoy the Emailzzz! |
