So what about you any vote ?

So here are my Top 10 Tips :

1. Blog on niche or subject that you really know, and not those subject which to pretend to know. I can see blogs that blog about those subject that they really don’t know. They just pick information in the net and compile it on their blog. I believe it is not fair.
2. Show expertise on your niche to be able to get the trust of your reader, You must be able to answer question which pertains to your blog subject.
3. Be friendly both Offline and Online events. remember without your reader your blog is useless.Try to respond to the comments that they have written in your blog and got to their blog and comment also. You may also try to subscribe to their Feeds so that you will able to know the latest information about that blog.
4. Write for your readers and not for the Search Engine, I sometime write for search engine but I make sure that those post do not appear on the homepage. So that it will not disrupt my new visitors.
5. Learn how to make research on proper keyword to be used. As the saying goes there are many ways to cook an egg. So be sure to cook it properly and tasty.
6. Learn how to apply SEO on your post, This is most of the time being neglected. Always remember hat if you want to earn something from your online presence, Visitors coming from the Search Engine are your probable customers.
7. If you really like to blog and make a brand for your blog, why don’t you spend $10 for your domain name and some money for your host. A blog looks more professional when domain name does not come from free hosting site. And consider making a good graphics for your new blog.
8. If you are just gaining visitors and you would like to promote your blog, Be sure your blog has enough good information before you advertise or market your blog.
9. Know how to use the social book marking sites and learn to get your analytics.
10. Make a very strong Password to avoid being Hacked.

This post is my official entry to blog.fuelmyblog.com & pureblogging.com

I would like to share some suggestions on how a new blogger or even an old blogger can increase the possibility of being linked by other site. And this might also be a possibility why I got recently upgraded to PR4 by Google.

• I have been joining different Group Writing Contest such as Fixing Leaking of Your Site , Graphic Design , Daily Blog Tips Project, RSS Awareness day, Digg Experience and others. Whenever the site announced those who joined their Group Writing Projects, They will surely link back to you. Choose site which does not look like a spam site. Remember Google also penalize links to bad site.
• All this writing project pertains to the subject of this blog. I am not just joining any writing project just to have back links. So when Google tries to visit those links and back links that I am receiving Google can tell that I am not just spamming.
• By Increasing comment frequency to other blogs, they will surely visit your blog and if they are interested the will give you a link love. I don’t see any problem putting your best post at the links provided when signing, although some might find it spamming. Be sure it relates to the blog post that you are commenting.
• Joining Groups and forums also helps you gain back links.
• Advertise your blog for free

Here are other linking strategy that I made for this blog which I would like to share to all of you.

• Make no-follow attribute to site which you think doesn’t need your link love.
• Make your homepage to have all no-follow, Try to search for a plug-in for this one.
• I have also made some tips regarding better way of linking to your old post.
• Make “me” rel Tag of all your social book marking site, See my footer to know what I mean.
• Doing SEO without sacrificing the authority of the site, So the homepage will not show any topics that does relate to my niche.

I just hope that those above information will help you increase your back links and later increase your PR, As of today I have 1014 Blog reactions as shown in Technorati.com Home Page this might not be very high but still good if you find it good don’t forget to sign in my feeds either thru RSS Feed reader or by e-mail

One of the most important factor for SEO is the way you make your internal and external linking. When I say leaking as show in the title, I am referring to those links and tracking links that you are installing in your home page and inner page. Our aim is to be organize not like the cartoons at the top. BTW the cartoon is the property of Word Sell and I am participating in in his group writing contest.

Well how will I relate this cartoon Image in my post today regarding Home Page Linking ?

Most of us tend to aim things but we are not really checking of what will be the result. Like what is shown above it was the intention of the gasoline station to give free car wash instead of free gas car wash. Let me discuss it on how to properly do internal linking from the home page in the proper way.

Inner Page Leaking

I believe that not all inner page linking is good for your page, but there is an exemption. If you are only writing a 1 niche site, where you only write with Lap top, Gadget and nothing else.. Or you are only writing about SEO and nothing else. The Internal Page Leaking is not that important since each post is correlated with one another. But what if you are using a multi category blog or semi niche blog such as this blog. You have to take care your internal linking.

This are the location where-in you need to check if your internal linking does not help your page.

1. Related Post – Are you sure that all related post inserting automatically in your post is really related to your post. If not it is better to do some fixings with your codes and make it a no follow links. If you don’t know how to do it, Politely ask the author of the plug in to provided you an option if you would like to make it a no-follow links.
2. Your Top 10 Post – Like on this blog not all my top 10 post both for the day and for the whole length of the blog is correlated with each other. And I thank Andrew dela Serna for providing me a no-follow version of his plug-ins.
3. Tags – Be sure that your Tag has also a no-follow tag.. since of course tags is not correlated with each other.
4. Category – All category does not have the same contents so better do some fixings.
5. HTML Tags that you insert for monitoring purpose would be better to have no follow on it. But you have to check with the provider of the matrix maybe they don’t allow it.
6. Page Links – I have converted all my page links at the upper right corner to be an Html Links rather than PHP so that I could provide a No follow links. Well actually i don’t know how to put No follow links at Php Code found in the WordPress Codex. Maybe somebody could help me with this one.

Observations After Implementation of Link Fixing

1. Increase of Cost Per Click from Adsense. Since I have a no-follow tags in all not related post and links. Adsense Crawler is having a better idea on what is the subject of my post and what kind of ads is he going to show up.
2. Easier to have a higher position in Search Engine Ranking Page. I said higher and not highest.
3. Increase readership ? Well this is still a question. But if you have a better visibility in the Search Pages an opportunity of having more constant visitors are high. Isn’t it ?

Conclusion

There is no harm in testing. Testing and experimentation gives us a new idea. Better lead the crawler on where he is going to penetrate. Remember they are automated and not like human who can think. They just follow commands. So Be a Plumber and Fix your Leaking Site.

Now what is the importance of having a unique theme or Unique Graphic Design?

• Easy Recognition

Whenever somebody visit your site from a search engine, usually it will have a 100% bounce rate, that means after seeing what they want at your site, they tend to check for some other exit links from your blog. You will be lucky if your visitors will roam around your site. What I am saying is if your site is constantly appearing in searching for some related keyword for your site, you are already building your readers trust in your Website and having a readers trust is having a regular visitors for your site. Just imagine if you have about 20 Website with the same layout. Readers will be confused on which blog he is visiting.

• First impression Last

I still believe in saying that first impression last. So if your first time visitors will not be impressed at your site, for sure there will be no e-mail subscription or RSS subscription. They will not tend to come back even there are lots of good contents in your blog.

• Your Graphic or Your Blog Design is your identity in the web.

So would you like to have a Multiple identity or just a single identity in web. Of course you want to be unique as much as possible if the budget permits it.

Now What Type of Design is best in my Opinion ?

I am a happy person and I believe your theme color should be using a light color I hate dark themes that is why when I got the chance for a make over I choose light blue. Dark colors seems to convey loneliness. [ This is just my opinion ] . A good site navigation is also an important factor for your design layout. You have to have an idea of helping your visitor to easily navigate your site.

How Far Will Your Blog Graphic Design Could Bring You ?

Well a good graphic design plus a good content will definitely bring good traffic and better branding in the net. See how far Darren and Jeremy for International Blogs and Abe in Philippine blog now. Would you think without their graphic design brands, will they be known as unique? I don’t think so.

A believe that a unique graphic design gives prestige for a Website so if you have some earnings to spare why don’t you spend some for your blog design. Or continue joining contest until you win Best of luck

Anybody can disagree in my mentioned opinion but be constructive.
