Handy Hints On How To Optimise Your Blog And Website
I have recently been optimising my blogs and managed to get a couple of them onto the 1st and 2nd page of Google
. I started with just asking questions on 'YouTube' and implementing lots of tips and tricks that I discovered there and elsewhere on the web. I then thought I would start a blog to share what I have learnt to maybe help others who are starting along this road and to save them lots of time. A lot of things that the experts say are difficult to understand if you are new on the optimising scene so I will try and make it simple. Its a sort of Optimising for Dummies.
SUBMIT YOUR SITE
Assuming you have your blog/website up and running, the next most obvious thing is to then tell the world. To do this you will need to submit your site to various directories on the web. For most will need to register with them, and I only did it with those that are free. You may not have heard of some of them but they are all sites that are crawled by Google, Yahoo and Bing etc. which are the main directories. Here are some of the main ones which you can look up on the web.
YAHOO. GOOGLE. BING. ALEXA. DMOZ. TECHNORATI. MUGRO. CONNECTEDY.
There are lots of others that are user specific i.e. Christian Websites that have a high page rankings like: CROSSGUIDE if you have Christian material. What you can do is search for your particular niche and find directories that are relevant.
There are also bookmarking sites that you can submit your link too as well like:
DIGG. DELICIOUS. STUMBLE UPON.
You should also ping your site now and then when you have updated something new and can't wait for it to be crawled again by a search engine. Here are 2 of them, but there are lots more.
PINGOAT. MASSURLPINGER.EXE.
MEAT TAGS
You need to sort out meta tags for your site and for your blogs as well. I thought that all I needed to do was put tags on my blog but you need to go to the html of you post on blogger and add tags there. A good program to help with sorting out your web site is Scrub the web. Submit your site here and make the adjustments suggested by them. You can look at these handy sites for more information. BLOGGER TRICKS. META TAG GENERATOR.
BACKLINKS
Another important thing to do is get lots of good back links to your site. If you can get a site that has a high page rank then its a quality back link. SQUIDOO is one of those sites and if you go to this link it will give you all the hyperlinks to all these sites. http://hottweb.blogspot.com
Watch this the YouTube video link on this site or read the article provided and it will show you how you can link to Squidoo and get valuable back-links. I also set up some lens (sites) on Squidoo to increase my traffic and boost my ratings. Here is an example. http://www.squidoo.com/graeme-hotter
WRITING ARTICLES
There are other ways to get links back to your site and YouTube shows you hundreds of ways that this can be done. A good way that I have learnt is to write an article which then links back to your site. Some good free ones are; GATHER. ARTICLEBASE. SCRIBD. TUMBLR
There are many more and you can learn how to use these on YouTube.
Another way to link back to your site is to write a review for a movie or television show that you have seen. They don't have to be long, just as long as you have your site in the profile or signature. There are many Movies sites out there where you can do this and these sites are crawled all the time and will pick up your link within a day or so. Make sure that you put your web address into your signature. Look on YouTube to learn how to write a signature. You previously make up a signature by using html code and then just pasting it in. I use Office OneNote a lot in all my work and paste the details and addresses in there as I go along. You can then just cut and paste easily without having to keep remembering those URLs and details all the time.
Here are a few Movie sites, there are hundreds of them that you can look up on the web.
MTV. ROTTEN TOMATOES. SCREEN RANT. HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP
You can also do a video on U Tube with your website mentioned in the description and then post it. There are screen capturing programs like 'JING' that you can use for free to make a video.
ABOUT GRAEME HOTTER
I was born in New Plymouth, New Zealand in 1950 and have always liked drawing. My mother encouraged me in art when I was a child and because we never had a TV in those days I used to read comics and make up my own cartoon strips. I did this to keep myself amused with cartoons, often with me as a super hero. While at Primary School I remember one teacher telling me off for reading so many comics and bringing them to school in a little suitcase. At High School I did really well in art and specialised in caricaturing. After I left School I got a great job in the Farmers Trading Company, Auckland in their Advertising Department, where I learnt all about advertising in newspapers. In 1970 I travelled overseas and ended up in Rhodesia, Africa, where I was eventually called up for the army and there did cartoons of soldiers. I spent a long time in Africa and cartooned now and then for different newspapers and worked as an artist at various printing firms in Zimbabwe and in Johannesburg South Africa. I am now a Pastor (and loving the ministry for the last 30 years). Each week I write a sermon and post it to the web. I now cartoon for a local newspaper and also do landscapes and clipart. I am very keen on computers and have learnt how to create different graphics with a Serif program called Photoplus and Drawplus. Take a look at my free clipart where you can see my unique colourful graphics by Graeme Hotter.
I will be updating this site often to give you some more hints, so come back.
