Off-Page Over Optimization Issues

By Nimit On February 1, 2010 No Comments

When it comes to off page optimization you start building inbound links for your website. Backlinks are important in order to get the high search engines rankings. But, people start acquiring backlinks to boost the search engines rankings without even thinking that their link building campaign could also harm their website rankings in a negative way. Following are three most important things that you should avoid in your link building campaign.

Building Links Too Fast

Link building is a very time consuming process and in order to build link we usually buy link building services like directory submission, profiles link building, social bookmarking, article submission etc and using these services we able to start acquiring backlinks.

The problem comes when we start over doing it to get the rankings fast. You need to keep in mind that if you have a long term goal with your site then you need to make the link building process as much natural as you can. Getting links to a same page in a high quantity will surely raise the red flag against your site in the eyes of search engines.

Link Distribution

People start creating a link farm in order to increase the number of backlinks but they forget that search engine can easily detect that and will not give any value to those links. Your link building aim should be getting links from variety of sources. Just don’t start getting links from same sources over and over again.

Also, it is not advisable doing reciprocal link exchange between the two sites that belongs to completely different niche.

Same Anchor Text

This is the very common mistake that people do to get the rankings in search engines. We all know having a keyword in anchor text makes our site more relevant in the eyes of search engine for that keyword. But, if we only start getting links with same anchor text this will look very unnatural and search engines will easily detect that and pull back your site rankings for that keyword.

For example if you are targeting a “colon cleansing diet” keyword and you start link building links using the same keyword as anchor text with out using any variation then it will really going to harm your site rankings.

On the last note I just want say that if you have are planning to stay at the top long term in search engines then make the link building process natural. This approach will take time to get you the rankings but it will be very useful for long term.

Also, once you get the rankings for your desired keyword then just don’t stop doing link building. Link building is an ongoing process to stay at the top of the search results

Why A Website Is Not Indexing In Google?

By Nimit On January 28, 2010 1 Comment

It is the most common problem that people don’t able to get their site indexed on Google even after a site submission. Search engines take their own time to index your website and you can speed up this process by getting some backlinks from high PR sites or you can try social bookmarking that is very effective in order make a site index. But, even after getting links to your site,  you don’t see your site in search engines within few days then it must be a problem from your side. Now you need to check several things to make sure everything is fine.

Checklist For Search Engine Indexing:

Noindex Meta Tag

Check for noindex meta tag, if the pages of your site has noindex tag then they are not allowing search engines spiders to crawl your WebPages. If you are using wordpress then go to Setting > Privacy and make sure that you are allowing search engines to index your pages.

Robots.txt

Check your robots.txt file in order to make sure that it is not blocking search engines bots from crawling your site.

Server Status

You can also use header checker tools in order to make sure that your server is returning a 200 OK status. But, if it is not returning 200 Ok status then you should fix this issue ASAP.

WordPress Plugins

Check for plugins like all in one SEO to make sure they are set up properly because these plugins places noindex tags by default on pages in order to avoid duplicate content.

After checking all the above things I would also suggest you to make a sitemap of your website and submit to Google, yahoo and bing. This will also help you in the indexing of your site.

WordPress SEO – Best Permalinks Structure For Your Blog

By Nimit On January 25, 2010 2 Comments

As many of you already know that search engines like Google are the best source of getting free and targeted traffic to your sites. Search engine optimization become more important when it comes to getting traffic from search engines. As a blogger we mostly use wordpress platform to start blogging which is already very much SEO optimized but there is no doubt it lacks some features that we need to add via plugins or configure in it from its settings to make it completely search engine optimized.

When you install the wordpress blog it gives your blog a dynamic URL structure which is not a good SEO practice and in order to make it more SEO friendly you need to change the permalinks structure of your wordpress blog.

Its very easy to change the permalinks structure of your wordpress blog, you just need to go to “permalinks” under the “setting” and from there you can easily configure the search engine friendly permalinks for your blog. At the end of this post I will also mention some of the best SEO friendly parmalinks options that you just need to copy and paste in your blog to make it more search engine friendly.

But if you didn’t know this at the time when you installed your blog then there is way to still change the permalinks without breaking any of your existing links by using the 301 redirect. Using the 301 redirect will make sure that you will not lose any traffic from search engines and you can use wordpress redirection plugin that will make this job easier for you . So if you haven’t changed your permalinks to make them search engine friendly then this is the right time to do it and check the following options for permalinks that you can use to make your blog URLs more search engine friendly.

Choose your SEO Friendly Permalinks Structure:

Go to Setting > Permalinks and then choose custom option.

Following are some options that you can choose for permalinks:

/%postname%.html (It will show a post tile in the URL, I am using this structure)

/%postname%/ (It will only show postname without .html extension)

From SEO perspective there is no difference between the above two permalinks, I have choosen .html extension to make it look more static.

/%category%/%postname%.html ( This structure will show the name of the category in URL)

/%category%/%postname% (You will not have .html extension, that’s the only difference in it)

There are also other options available that you can choose from that are equally search engine friendly.

Important Note:

I also want to tell you that if you are using category within your permalinks structure then do not assign a post to more than 1 category. If you assign a post to “SEO” category and same post to “wordpress” category then the preference will goes to the category which have a higher ID.

For example if you have created a post that is mainly centered about SEO  and you have assigned that post to two categories”SEO” and “wordpress“. So for this situation your 1st preference for the URL should be that “SEO” category will come in  the URL which has a category ID 5 but if  “wordpress” catgeory has 4 ID then it will take “wordpress” in the URL instead of “SEO“  like http://www.corebloggers.com/wordpress/post-name/

So just choose your permalinks carefully and do not forget to share your opinion about this post.

Some Important Factors Of BackLinks

By Nimit On January 19, 2010 2 Comments

As many of you already know that backlinks are the most important part of search engine optimization(SEO). Backlinks plays a vital role since from the starting to a get website indexed to get it ranked for a special keyword. But, do you know what are the factors that influence the backlinks most? If no, then check out the following factors:

Anchor Text:

The text that is used as link to connect with your website is known as anchor text and it is the most influencing factor of backlinks. Google gives anchor text so much value in its algorithm that if you want to get a ranking for a particular keyword, you should consider to get some relevant links from other sites using the keyword as a anchor text to your website.

Relevancy Of Links

The next most influencing factor of backlinks probably is the relevancy of the sites that is linking to your site and the way links is passed on to you( sidebar, footer, contextual link etc). Its always better to get contextual link as they make more sense.

Diversity of Link Sources

The links that comes to your site should not come from a single IP or the sites that are hosted on a same server. You should always focus on to get the links from different number of sites that are hosted on different servers. It is also better if you go and get some links from the sites that does not come under your niche to make the link building process more natural.

Attribute of links

You might have heard about no-follow and do-follow links. Links that have a dofollow attribute will pass a link juice to your site(pass page rank). So it is always better to gather the links from dofollow sites. Dofollow links are hard to get but are important to get the rankings in search engines for a competitive keyword.

I hope next time when you start a new link building campaign you will keep the above factors in mind and  don’t forget to share your opinion about this post.
