All right. Let’s gear up some questions about your blog performance now.. Have you ever thought about your blog’s loading time?

No.. than It’s time to think about it now..

Speed up WordPress

Why?

Because it’s not only essential to maintain a friendly SEO blog but also for your readers engagement. If you want to increase your readership or to decrease your bounce rate, you need to focus on decreasing your blog loading time. The faster it loads the better it is. Following are the few best ways to Speed Up WordPress.

1. Use WP Cache Plugin:

This is by far the best WP plugin many blogs are using to clear the cache to speed up the blog. You can clean up your cache memory all the time whenever you loading new plugins or deactivating them.

W3 Total Cache Plugin

Unzip the file
Upload the plugin to your Plugins folder via FTP or Admin area

Decrease the image size by tools like image optimizer, shrink pictures, picresize etc.

Or you can simply use this WP plugin WP Smush.it (This reduces image file sizes and improves your blog’s performance)

And try to use the images in the following 3 formats.

.PNG

These are the best extensions to save your images and decreasing your images size means you are decreasing your blog’s loading time.

Directory Submissions – Still a Viable SEO Strategy?

By Aditya Venkatesh / SEO

Directory submissions used to be a viable search engine optimization strategy a few years back. However, with changes made to search engines and the way they rank web pages, the importance of web directory submissions has diminished to some extent. In a few years more, I’m very certain that it will no longer be considered a good search engine optimization strategy just like free-for-all websites and stuffing keywords which used to provide results in the years before.

Quality of backlinks

Search engines such as Google rank webpages on the basis of the number of backlinks. For this reason, it is very important to build quality backlinks to your website on a regular basis. Theoretically, web directories can be a good source of backlinks. Because they have content that is relevant to your website, these backlinks can have some search engine benefits. However, in actual practice, most web directories have thousands of links pointing outwards. They also do not have good link popularity and many of them have low-quality spammy links. For this reason, getting links from web directories may not have any benefits at all. It should also be noted that submitting your links to a large number of low-quality directories all at once can adversely affect your search engine rankings. Thus it is a good idea to submit only to high quality web directories that have high page rank.

Time and effort

Directory submissions can take time and effort on your part. For example, if you want to submit your links to the top 500 directories, it can take several hours or days. You can use directory submission software or tools such as Roboform to make this job faster and easier. However, it still has to be done manually and is a time-consuming process. Considering the as SEO benefits, is it really worth the time and effort to submit to directories?

Approval rates

Let us say, you submit your link to 500 web directories. Probably, some hundred of these will approve your link within the next few weeks. Several of them will reject your link outright. And the remaining will approve it months later because they have plenty of links in the backlog. Many directories will simply disappear. Because of this, you will not see any search engine benefits within limited time frame.

Scope of promotion

Most directories do not accept inner pages, no matter how informative or professional they may be. Thus, you can only promote your homepage using directory submissions. Thus it is not a good option to promote your blog posts. It is better to go other better options.

To conclude, it is not worth the time and effort to do web directory submissions anymore. It is better to invest in other promotion strategies such as article marketing, guest blog writing and direct advertisements. Web directories had their golden days, but right now their days are over.

7 Easy Tips To Increase Your Search Traffic

By Jawed / SEO

Internet marketing has turned into a million dollar market and a favorite resort to people who want to generate money in a short period of time. There are many search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing etc. Some sites and blogs become popular in these search engines and others no one even knows which is more than likely to take place once you don’t have a reasonable marketing approach inviting absolutely free search engine traffic. So many are convinced this is an unyielding project. On contrary to previous thoughts there are highly effective methods of stimulating targeted free search engine traffic to your website.

In fact from article marketing to link baiting, blog commenting, forum marketing and so on there is more than one way to promote your blogs. Only consistent work and a little bit of patience will definitely help you to reach your target. With time the domain increases, blogs are frequently read and considered more valuable, if updated timely. Another thing to keep in mind is that traffic from organic search grows gradually. As you target more keywords within your content and gain more authority through backlinks, you will only grow your traffic. The blogosphere is a big and busy world with over 100 million blogs and growing. How do you attract visitors to your blog? Follow these simple tips to drive traffic to your blog.

Article Marketing

The easiest method to achieve totally free search engine traffic to your site is via article marketing. The success lies as it hyperlinks a majority of key words from the article to your website. Thus the more back links you get from article marketing the more traffic your site will enjoy. The articles are written keeping in mind the target market it is going to address. You have to identify the keyword which has to be back linked and build your article around that word. The content must not be vague or just for the sake of being posted. It should have meaningful message and leave the person with a good impression. Once you are done writing an article, post it to any of the top article directories. Then spin it and post it to lower PR directories. So for one article, you can get hundreds of dofollow links pointing towards your site. It will help you boost your website ranking thus resulting in more search engine traffic.

Search Engine Friendly Design

It is surprising to know that many bloggers claim their blog themes or templates as search engine friendly because the themes were advertised as such. It is always advised to spend some time to check the template to make sure it has the right title tag, order of content, heading tags and so on. Your invested time will be on-time task.

Theming Through Silos

Siloing is a smart way to write your blog content though many SEO experts identify it as simple tiered content writing. Theming with silos is a great way to structure and divide your blog content into subtopics. There are ways in presenting your work in smart paragraphs or points which would make your content topic mush more obvious to search engines. Good and smart packaging of the content is what others appreciate compared to a tired, long boring blogs. The link should be directly to the silo instead of another cross silo or via another link. Thus do not blog keeping in mind the subtopics or long key words as that leaves a bad impression.

Focus on quality content creation

One of the key to success is write well and write often. The content you write is what readers appreciate and look for. Make sure you have a meaningful content to say and eventually you will be able to develop a group of loyal visitors.

Search Engine Submission

You can also submit your blogs to search engines time to time. Most search engines provide a ‘Submit’ link (or something similar) to notify the search engine of your new blog, so submit your blog’s URL in popular search engine site like Google, Yahoo etc. Though, if you are a wordpress users, you can simply install sitemap plugin which will automatically notify search engines whenever your blog’s content changes.

Also add links of your choice in your blogroll, the owners of those blogs might find your blog interesting and put them in their blogroll. Thus it gives you a chance to link to your blog through maximum possible blogs. Blogroll links are one of the best ways to boost your blog ranking as well as get some referral traffic from other blogs.

Blog Commenting

Commenting on other related blogs is an easy and effecting method to guide the traffic to your blog. Prompt response to comments should be given as that is the only way to show your loyalty to your readers and draw their attention to an interactive session. This gradually increases the number of loyal members/readers.

Turn Your Blog Into A Money-Spinner With Affiliate Marketing

By doodlemaster / Affiliate Marketing, Make Money Online

If you run a blog, you’ll already know how rewarding it can be in terms of connecting with an audience and expressing yourself. You may even have started making a bit of money from your blog thanks to something you read here on our site, but you may not yet have tried one of the most lucrative ways to make money out of a website: affiliate marketing. In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is the idea that you send customers to a merchant’s site, and then get a percentage of the price when they buy something. That’s the idea, but there are many variations within that that can make some affiliate programs better than others. affiliate-marketing

Getting started with affiliate marketing

The first thing you need to decide is whether or not you want to make affiliate marketing the key focus of your site (in which case you may consider launching a standalone one), or whether you’ll just use it here and there to try and squeeze a bit of cash from your pages. Generally speaking, you’ll find it easier to go for the latter option, so let’s focus on that during this guide. The next step is to consider your niche. You’ll know what this is better than anyone; for example, if you run a blog about golf, you may want to promote golf wear or equipment. Generally speaking, the more relevant the products you promote, the more success you should have marketing them at your readers.

Choose an affiliate program

There are lots of affiliate programs out there, each of which offer various different vendors. You’ll need to take a look at a few of these to find out which one suits your niche the best. Some of the most popular programs are the Amazon Associates program (whereby you can promote any product on Amazon), TradeDoubler (who have lots of vendors) and ClickBank (who offer lots of web-based products). For many bloggers, it’s enough to simply use Amazon as their affiliate solution. They pay a flat rate of 5% commission on average, so whenever someone clicks through to their site from yours and buys something, you get a cut.

Putting affiliate ads on your blog

Now here comes the tricky part – deciding on ad placement. The trick here is to not turn your site into something that looks spammy. You want to retain the same level of quality that you’ve always had, but with a bit of subtle product advertising. On the other hand, if you’re running a pure affiliate site, you may want nothing but ads! But for most bloggers, inserting the ads in a subtle way is the best bet. You could try putting them into existing relevant articles, or you could try dotting them around the perimeter of your site. Some blogs even find success by implementing a dedicated affiliate store for readers to buy from.

Tips for affiliate success

The way you implement affiliate marketing is totally up to you, but one of the most tried and tested methods is to review a product then link to it. This is also a natural way to include such a post on your blog. But remember not to be overly positive, otherwise the review will sound more like an ad. Just be realistic about what you think of the product, then give your readers the option to buy it for themselves. This way they will see your site as a trusted authority (or maybe they already do). Affiliate ads can also work in the sidebar of your blog where visitors will naturally expect to see advertising of some kind.

Ready to get started?

Those are the basics of affiliate marketing: get traffic, present a product, collect commissions. There are obviously steps in between, but that’s the bottom line. Whether your website sells landlord insurance or reviews video games, there’s an affiliate program out there for you. And with Amazon offering thousands of products, you’ll always find something relevant on there that you can promote via the Amazon Associates program. So what are you waiting for? If your site is already enjoying quite a high level of traffic, you may be surprised at how much cash you can turn it into.
