Optimize Your BLOG

Blogs, have more optimization opportunities compared to a regular web site. As discussed earlier I expect by now you must have chosen the keywords, you want to target. According to a research done by EntireWeb, 31% of the people search using two word phrases, 25% uses three word phrases and only 19% try it with one word. Also, keep in mind the following:

1. Popular keywords will bring you untargeted traffic.

2. Do not choose keywords that you have no chance ranking for.

3. Do not choose keywords that no one looks for.

4. Do not choose a keyword that does not relate to your content.

5. Do not use words that may get your blog filtered or banned from search engines.

6. For best results, optimize one post for one keyword.



Let’s talk about a few simple yet very effective steps you should take towards optimizing your blog.

Title Tag- Undeniably, the most important aspect of blog optimization is Title Tags.

Your blog’s title tag should carry the major keywords you are targeting and should give an idea of the subject your blog is based on. Do not make it very long. Anything more than the Google’s Limit of 63 characters is superfluous. Although Yahoo displays up to 112 and MSN up to 70 characters, 63 characters would be able to cover your major keywords, and will make sure search engines display whole of your title tag.

Do not worry while using stop words like the, a, is, an- they are generally omitted by search engines, but make the title more palatable for humans.

A trick that you can use to shorten the length- Suppose the two major keywords you want to target is Blogging Strategies and Business Blogging. You can save up to 10 characters by combining them and using Business Blogging Strategies. This will be as effective as using them separately and will give you space to include another word.

As a general rule, the closer you place your keyword to the beginning of the title tag, the better the ranking advantage. However, bear in mind that we've seen fluctuations on this element from engine to engine and even from month to month. Regardless, on the whole, you can expect better results by placing your keywords first in your title tag.

Each of the post-page should carry a title tag including keywords you want to target.

Make sure to make your title tag consumable by humans... otherwise anyone would hardly click your link!

Writing Related Content- The most important part of blogging is fresh, interesting content, for both your readers and the search engines. Blog search engines sometimes display results chronologically. If you wrote about "apple iphone" half an hour ago, but someone else wrote about "apple iphone" twenty minutes ago, they get listed first in a search for "apple iphone".

So, whatever keyword you are targeting try and write good content on that keyword and its parallel ones, often.

Optimize Categories-

When you create categories for your blog, be sure to consider keywords in the titles. This will help not only search engines but also your audience to get to relevant content. So whenever you post, be sure to default to a general category that is relevant no matter what the post is about. Choose multiple categories on each post whenever appropriate.

Getting in Blog Directories-

To get registered in any directory, you should write at least one post today, at least five posts the current week, and your blog should be at least 3 months old. If this is not suitable for you, you can still get into some search engines and directories, but not all.

Personal bloggers should try to post every day at least once. Business blogs should post slightly more often than their competitors. New posts will need to be made at least three times a week for some search engines to list a blog at all.

Posting daily or more than that may not be feasible so post as often as you and your blog's audience can comfortably handle.

Social Bookmarking-

Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to a public Web site and “tagging” them with keywords. Visitors to social bookmarking sites can search for resources by keyword, person, or popularity and see the public bookmarks, tags, and classification schemes that registered users have created and saved. Social Bookmarking sites can be excellent sources of traffic to your blog, so be sure to make it easy for readers to bookmark your blog posts.

Here are some bookmarking sites:

1. Digg
2. Del.icio.us
3. StumbleUpon
4. Reddit
5. Squidoo
6. Furl
7. BlinkList
8. Blogmarks.net
9. Ma.gnolia
10. Simpy
11. Spurl
12. BlinkBits
13. Shadows
14. Raw Sugar
15. Yahoo MyWeb

It’s important to realize that there are other factors also that can play into how successfully your blog gets indexed and how well the search engines treat it. We will discuss them in the coming posts.

Do not pull all your mone in dollars

The dollar value does not necessarily hold up as well? If the dollar price had been USD 2500, then increased to Rp 5000, 7000, 9000, even once to Rp 15,000, it's because there is a crisis? Not necessarily a crisis would be no more. Now, the price of the dollar falls even more so about Rp 10,000. So, do not buy dollars for fear the price of goods in Indonesia risen steadily. But, buy the dollar as a precaution if there's nothing.

In terms of goods prices were right. But, right, the dollar value does not necessarily hold up as well? If the dollar price had been USD 2500, then increased to Rp 5000, 7000, 9000, even once to Rp 15,000, it's because there is a crisis? Not necessarily a crisis would be no more. Now, the price of the dollar falls even more about Rp 9,440. So, do not buy dollars for fear the price of goods in Indonesia risen steadily. But, buy the dollar as a precaution if there's nothing.

Still confused? Well, if you notice, the price of dollars in Indonesia is adopting a free floating system. This means that the dollar price actually "delivered" to the bargaining in the market. If you are going to buy dollars more, usually the price will rise. But if you are going to buy fewer dollars than they want to sell, can-can price of the dollar falls.

Usually, the desire to buy more dollars will come, one of them, if the political temperature began to heat up. For example, soon to elections. Normally, each time before the election, our political temperature will rise. Well, here's where a lot of people started buying dollars for security reasons. That is, they feel that the situation in Indonesia began not safe. Then, they began buying dollars. As a result, the dollar price rose.

Conversely, if the nation is stable, cool-calm, peaceful, and peace, usually the price of dollars will also be stable. In fact, tends to fall. Understandably, the situation is calm making people believe in the rupiah, so that fewer people are buying dollars than the dollar price falls.

Now whether you should buy the dollar? If in case, go ahead. Because the situation of our country today can not even say was totally safe and stable. Bomb blast in Bali yesterday, for example. To remember, do not put all your money in dollars. Half is more than enough.

Need buy dollar or not?

This question actually reflects the habits of our people are always done from the first until now, which is to buy foreign currency. Indeed, if all this time we know the rupiah as the main currency for saving. But still, people turned to foreign currency as an alternative to buy and save. And the dollar is one of the currencies most frequently used option. In this case, of course the American dollar.

Interestingly, the reason people buy all kinds of dollars. One of them, he said, the value of our money down on. So if you can, we should not continue to hold dollars. Is this the reason? Wait a minute ladies and. The definition of the value of our money down on perhaps the price of goods and services in Indonesia continues to increase. For example, if the price was USD 10 thousand, now maybe USD 12 thousand, and in a USD 15 thousand.

In terms of goods prices were right. But, right, the dollar value does not necessarily hold up as well? If the dollar price had been USD 2500, then increased to Rp 5000, 7000, 9000, even once to Rp 15,000, it's because there is a crisis? Not necessarily a crisis would be no more. Now, the price of the dollar falls even more so about Rp 10,000. So, do not buy dollars for fear the price of goods in Indonesia risen steadily. But, buy the dollar as a precaution if there's nothing.
