Posted: 27 Dec 2019 08:20 AM PST

Ever tried to create your own article directory? You might be familiar with the article directory scripts like ArticleMS and ArticleDashboard which are often used to create an article directory with unlimited number of authors and articles. But you may not have enough technical knowledge to install these scripts on websites successfully.

What if we can convert a WordPress blog into a dedicated article directory? You should be wondering how this differs from a normal multi-authored wordpress blog.  Well there is no much difference. But it's not quite easy to get a relevant article directory theme and plugins to make wordpress blog looks like a real article directory! You may even resort to tweaking of themes which might cause errors often. To avoid these headaches, I have found an excellent Article Directory WordPress Plugin and a relevant Theme from Articlesss.

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

DISQUS Comments Logo

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.

What are threads? Threads are uniquely associated with each page which has Disqus embedded, typically an article or a blog post. For each of those pages, Disqus creates a thread that contains all of the relevant comments. Because a thread is associated to a page's URL, or web address, they can sometimes become disassociated when the URL changes. If you've changed your website's domain, you can use these new tools to restore these associations.[via]

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

  • If you are in WordPress, don't forget to download and activate Disqus Plugin.
  • Sign-in to your disqus account and go to Comments -> Tools -> Migrate Threads
    DISQUS Introduced the Thread Migration Tool to Import Old CommentsDISQUS Introduced the Thread Migration Tool to Import Old Comments
  • There are two options for you:
    1. Migration Wizard – This quick and easy wizard will walk you through migrating your threads to the new domain.
    2. Advanced Crawler – This is recommended if you know how to set 301 redirects on all of your old webpages and they are still available online. Disqus will crawl all of those old pages and automatically update your threads.

    DISQUS Introduced the Thread Migration Tool to Import Old Comments

  • Choose the right option from the above. Your threads will be updates very soon! I used Advanced Crawler since I'm using 301 permanent redirect for my old posts. I got all comments imported back within minutes!

Thanks to Disqus.

alexa traffic rank extension for google chrome

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.

You can install this extension by visiting the Chrome Extension Gallery. If you are a blogger and a Google Chrome user, I recommend you to use this extension.

7 Best Multi-Author WordPress Plugins

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 06:50 AM PST

Great Multi-Author WordPress Plugins

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 Manager

The 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 Flow

This 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 Plugin

Author 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 Photo

This 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 Exposed

Author 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 Users

This 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 Emailer

WordPress 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

New Rich Text Signatures from Gmail

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! :D

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! ;)

How to Change the List Order of WordPress Links Widget

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 06:31 AM PST

Wordpress Blogroll Links Categories

It's usual in blogging to show different kind of links in blogs like blogroll, social network profile links, favorite posts etc. In WordPress, we add such links through the normal Links widget. But we do not have the option to arrange these links without tweaking the templates as mentioned here. There is a simple plugin to do this called My Link Order.

My Link Order plugin allows you to set the order in which links and link categories will appear in the sidebar or footer of your blog. This plugin enables a drag and drop interface to arrange these links.

Installation

  1. Install and activate plugin.
  2. Go to "My Link Order" under the "Links" menu and specify your desired order for your link categories and the links in each category.
  3. If you are using standard "Links" widgets, replace it with the "My Link Order" widget.

So simple! Best way to get rid off errors as a result of tweaking themes. :) Don't forget, you have to use "My Link Order" widget from the widget settings page of your theme.

Firefox Upgrade – Xmarks Proxy Configuration Error?

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 05:32 AM PST

Xmarks provides seamless bookmark synchronization between your computers and browsers via their synchronization server. Xmarks is one of my most favorite firefox and it's one of the best one available! I guess there is no firefox user without using this add-on.

I got a "Proxy Configuration Error" last time when I synchronized my firefox bookmarks using Xmarks. I think it was due to the firefox upgradation I have done the previous day. But I got it fixed finally. If you too come across this error, open your firefox and just go through the following steps:

Open Tools – select Options – go to Advanced section – Network tab – click Settings button – select No proxy – then save your settings

Last day Paypal announced about a change in withdrawal of funds for Indian users. Electronic withdrawal of funds have been temporarily disabled and only cheque withdrawal is possible with effect from July 29 2010. If you haven't checked it out, following is the email I got regarding this update:

In accordance with regulatory instructions, we would like to notify you about a change in our withdrawal functionality in India starting on August 1, 2010. At present you can request for either an electronic or cheque withdrawal of funds from your PayPal account if you are an India user.

From July 29, 2010 onwards, you will only be able to request for a cheque withdrawal of funds from your PayPal account.

While we are working hard to restore the electronic withdrawal service, in the meantime, we are bringing this matter to your attention so that you can plan your future withdrawal activities accordingly.
To request for a cheque withdrawal:

1. Log into your PayPal account, click on 'Withdraw'.
2. Click on the 'Request a cheque from PayPal' link.
3. Enter the withdrawal amount and select your mailing address, then click 'Continue'.
4. Click 'Submit' to confirm your request.

In order to help you with this change and until further notice, we will refund the $5 USD cheque withdrawal fee to you for cheque withdrawals made on July 29, 2010 onwards.

For any questions, please log into your PayPal account and click 'Contact Us' at the bottom of the page.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused from this change in our withdrawal functionality. We will provide ongoing updates to you here. We thank you for your attention and patience as we work tirelessly to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.

Thank you,

The PayPal Asia Team

Good to see the refund of withdrawal fee. ;) Let's hope they will restore the electronic withdrawal soon. :)
