Advanced Wordpress SEO Secrets Part 3



                                 


Well As you have Read our previous article on Wordpress SEO secrets.We at incomefigure bring you another article related to Wordpress SEO secrets. I personally recommend the readers to read our Advanced Wordpress SEO Secrets Part 1 Advanced Wordpress SEO Secrets Part 2 So than it will be more helpful and easy to understand as I have carried some stuff from our previous post. So lets get started.Below are some key points so do read it.!. Below  are our Tips and Secrets Which we are going  to reveal.

The Title of your Blog Post:

Incorporating keywords into the title of your post is a good idea. Since I’m writing this article about optimizing your WordPress blog for SEO, I wanted to include as many of those keywords as I could while at the same time trying to create a title that would interest potential visitors. Search engines “see” this title, and you see this title.

This is an most important tip of our “Wordpress SEO secrets”. This is one of the strongest ways to get listed for a search term. However, it is again incredibly important to remember that you must not practice keyword stuffing. Only put your keyword in the title if you’re able to make it sound fun, exciting and engaging to your readers.

XHTML Code: Several reasons that you should take the time to validate your website to the standards of the World Wide Web Consortium. If you know anything about the basics of html then getting started won’t be difficult. Simply click through to the W3C Validator, type in the name of your website, and then follow the instructions that it provides you for resolving each issue. Advanced: Although Google clearly states that they will not dock a website for invalid code, you won’t ever have to worry about them missing anything if your site is semantically accurate.

Link Keywords:  Internal links are a powerful way to let Google know what your articles are about, and they’re a terrific way to increase page views across your site as they invite your readers to click through to read other articles. Do you interlink your articles?  You should. Take a tip from keyword data. However its just tells you about 50-65% of what you need to know.

Keyword data tells you exactly what customers are searching for. Using meta description tags is no longer considered to be as important to SEO as it once was. Google reports that they no longer include meta descriptions in their algorithm.  However, these descriptions still appear in the search results. Therefore, they can influence whether or not someone decides to click on your link and visit your site.

Google Sitemap:Google likes it when you provide them with an easy-to-read overview of all the pages on your site. The easiest and most effective way to deliver this much needed SEO tool is to simply install the WordPress plugin called Google XML Sitemaps. This plugin will do all the hard work for you and automatically update every time you add new posts to your site.

Link to Content: It’s always a good idea to point your users toward resources on other websites that will be helpful for them. It shows security as a thought leader in your niche when you’re willing to suggest to your readers that they leave your site, and search engines favor sites that link to other websites that it views as both generally authoritative and relevant to your articles.


Note: Don’t link to other sites with the hope of getting something in return. Find resources that are genuinely helpful and share them with your readers. People will respect you for it.  


Target Keyword Subjects and Theme for SEO: Arrange your wordpress blog in a silo or themed format, with the main subjects covered representing each silo. Focus your keyword targeting on a limited number of terms for more targeted seo.

 Focusing on siloed or themed content makes it easy for Google to index and focuses your content more on the words you really want to be ranking for. I don’t practice hyper-strict siloing, but its helpful for understanding how Google views your site via its spiders.

Optimize Images In Your Posts: When you can illustrate your topics and articles with attention grabbing artwork or photography people are more likely to view your content.  As you work to do that, be sure to use image titles and alt text that adequately describe both the image and the content of the article. Search engines don’t “see” images.

That’s why it’s so important to use the file nametitle, alternate text and description fields to help optimize your site for the search engines (SEO) Enter carefully chosen keywords that describe your post (not necessarily the picture).


Link to Related Posts:  My final piece of advice  in our “WORDPRESS SECRETS”is to install WordPress Related Posts Plugin and begin linking to 4 or 5 similar articles at the bottom of each article. This is both a terrific way to guide your readers to more of your articles on similar topics and it’s a terrific way to guide search engines around your site.

AdSense Backup Ads Using Amazon Affiliate and Commission Junction



When AdSense does not have advertisers to fill your ad slot it displays a blank space by default which doesn't exactly maximize your revenue potential. A better solution is to display alternate ads. In this post I'll show you how to easily set up your AdSense Backup Ads to display either Commission Junction Smart Zones or Amazon Affiliate ads.



Both Amazon and Commission Junction run large, well respected affiliate programs that can help you earn money from space that would otherwise be left blank. The process is very simple and you only need to know some basic HTML and CSS as well as have the ability to upload files to your website.

Strangers Won't Help You Get Rich Online!



Jeff Bezos is a founder of Amazon.com who has served as it's chairman and CEO for many years. He has a net worth of $18.4 billion mostly from the Internet.



If ever there was a man that could make a killing on the internet selling eBooks it's this guy! But he's not.



Come to think of it, why aren't Sergey Brin and Larry Page releasing "The Secrets Of Making Money Through Search Engines"!?!?!?



Is Mark Zuckerberg currently working on his "How To Build Wealth Through Social Networking Empires" seminars?



No, but some random guy you've never heard of puts up some money for a late night TV spot or a cheap webpage and you're ready to hand over your credit card number. What's the worst that can happen? You're out a few bucks right? WRONG! You can lose a whole lot more.



Checkout the video Scamworld: 'Get rich quick' schemes mutate into an online monster from theverge.com.



Also take a peek to see what The Salty Droid, who was featured in the video has to say about it here.


What AdSense Categories You Should Block



Google AdSense has been enabling AdSense Publishers to have more control over the ads that are displayed on there sites. Two of the ways they've done this are by allowing publishers to block ads based on General and Sensitive Categories.



Using these tools can help you increase your AdSense earnings by showing only ads you think would be relevant to your visitors. It can also hurt your earnings if you're not careful.



So which categories should you block and which should you allow?

Deceptive Ads and Invalid Clicks



I've been noticing a strange AdWords trend that has me really concerned about how it might effect me as an AdSense publisher. I keep seeing very deceptive ads that I'm sure generate invalid clicks through no fault of the AdSense publisher.



These ads have turned up on various sites but today I found one on this very blog as I was previewing my last article.



The ads are disguised so they don't look like ads. The example I included in the screenshot above even closely matches the colors of my site's template.



From time to time I notice a new AdSense click that has high earnings (5-10x my average EPC), then a short time later the click is still there but the revenue has vanished



In some cases it seems these ads are a willful attempt to get more impressions and more clicks but not have to pay for it. The scam appears to go like this:




  1. Create an ad that looks nothing like an ad.

  2. Make sure the ad can be confused with the content of the sites it's likely to be displayed on.

  3. Bid very high for your ad placements.

  4. Hope the ads generate a lot of invalid clicks so you get a discount.




Is anything being done about this? Are these types of ads potentially putting my AdSense account at risk of being disabled?

How To Name AdSense Items

When you create an AdSense Ad Unit, Link Unit, Channel or other item you can give it a unique name to help you find it later when editing it or viewing reports.



By default a fairly non descriptive name is given to the item but I recommend you do not use it. Instead create a more descriptive name.



I thought I'd share the naming convention I use with AdSense that I've found to be very helpful especially now that AdSense has upgraded to the new AdSense interface.

5 YouTube Tips to Keep Videos Alive




YouTube, as always, is an unbeatable video website that has reached countless milestones. Despite issues of copyright infringements and the fear of oversaturation, a lot of online users are still on the platform uploading video after video. However, the majority of video uploaders are remiss on techniques that can successfully launch their videos to the point of becoming viral. They only think in terms of YouTube views and not on longevity. What they need are techniques that will help them see the big picture of a YouTube success.
Why not try these tried and tested strategies?


  1. Piggy Back Technique

The piggy back technique pertains to riding on the limelight of others. There are two ways to do it. First is to leverage your video to what is already trending or popular online. You want to be swept together with the popular videos or topics that people are currently searching for. You will appear in the search results which will give you a bigger chance to get clicked and viewed. Second is to post video responses to niche-related YouTube channels. 

  1. Relevant Online Communities

Look for popular and relevant online communities where there is a pool of users. You can sign up for Digg or Reddit and start establishing relationships with community members. When the time is right, you can start sharing your videos and create a discussion around it.  It is important to share your videos outside the realm of YouTube. There are endless possibilities on forums and other types of online communities.

  1. Build Subscriber Base

Just as celebrities need fans, video owners need viewers and subscribers as well. They are the ones who will see your news feed such as video likes, favorites and new uploads. And you can’t gather a lot of these people if you have crappy video content with a sorry number of YouTube views, or if you don’t do the next strategy below.

  1. Respond

This strategy is repeated in the nth time on video blogs but still there are those people who are too smug and complacent that they neglect or deliberately ignore comments. What are they thinking? Unless you are a popular music artist like Bieber, your videos need a voice or people will stop commenting on your other videos. This is not limited to YouTube. You need to respond to comments about your videos even on blogs or forums as well.

  1. Link your videos

This is a very valuable strategy if you want to shine a light on your other videos in your video library. You can use annotations or place video links on the description box. You can put links to related videos or previous videos with a lot of YouTube views.
These tips have been written repeatedly, yet only a few tried to apply it to their YouTube plans. Maybe it’s no longer about strategies but a case of idleness.
