ABC Article Directory Blog

Link popularity is a big factor in search engine rankings. The tendency of blog authors is to promote only the main url of their blog unaware that a large amount of traffic also comes from inner pages or deep links as it is popularly called. How to determine which pages needs to be promoted so that you will increase your blog or website traffic will be discussed later but first we’ll touch on the topic about what keywords are searched in the main url of your blog.

Keywords in the home page

Your home page is limited only to a few blog posts. Blogger defaults to 7 pages but you can assign any number from 1 to 99. Individual pages are created for each blog posts if you selected yes to ‘enabled post pages’ in the settings/archiving page of your dashboard. Therefore the keyword relevance in your home page may vary but not on your individual pages or deep link. Blogger assigns a unique url for individual pages.

For example if your home page contains 7 posts, then the 7th post will no longer be in your home page if you create another post. Keyword density which is a factor in search engine rankings will not be the same as the one before you created a new post.

Promoting your deep links is a good option to increase your overall page rank. Page rank for your deep links can be passed to your home page. Among the many deep links which you can see from your archive, which of them should take priority in promoting?

I am a somewhat like that ‘curious cat’ when it comes to junk mail.  I cannot resist wasting the time to read junk!  To me, all junk mail is created equal.  I read junk in direct mail and email deliveries.   I would like to ask readers, has anyone read those emails claiming that you are a giant lottery winner?  How about the one where they want you to pose as an overseas contractor?  long-lost heir?  American money catcher?  Fraud gets very creative as well as very convincing.  Fraudulent letters have ‘name-dropped’ some of the biggest including:  MSN, Yahoo, Google, AOL and HP.  How they keep getting away with this alone, amazes me.    Doesn’t someone there READ?  Doesn’t someone tell them?  Does anyone care?  Getting someone to care about something, has always been one hell of a mission.    Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes it pays to be a “Jill of all trades” when you’re a service business owner, but ultimately you probably discover that there are some things you like to do for clients better than others. Figuring out what you truly love to do in your work with your clients is key to your success — and theirs. I call this process “discovering your brilliance” — discovering those gifts and talents you bring to the table that really make your heart sing. Determining your brilliance is a very effective client attraction device and is instrumental in helping you fill your practice.

Home computers needs additional software in order to keep them protected from many threats on the Internet. Many think that using a secure browser is enough.

Computer security is not built into a new computer because the systems, which are already downloaded into a new computer, have not been tested against current hacker attacks. Too much software is built to interact with “well behaved” computers, so they have weak defenses to stop intruders. Therefore, PC owners must learn very quickly the weaknesses of PC systems and what to do to protect their computer from intruders. One of the most important ways to protect a PC effectively is using a secure web browser, such as Mozilla. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, it’s true. I have started a new, free, article directory topsites list, as an additional service at the ABC Article Directory. Anyone that has an article directory or article directories, can have their sites monitored and compared to other similar sites in terms of traffic and position.

Google Sitemaps enables Webmasters to Directly Alert Google to Changes and Additions on a Website and that’s just one of 7 Benefits.

Telling search engines about new pages or new websites used to be what the submission process was all about. But major search engines stopped using that process a long time ago.

Google has for a long time depended on external links from pages they already know about in order to find new websites.

For webmasters and website owners Google Sitemaps is the most important development since RSS or Blog and Ping, to hit the Internet.

Using RSS and Blog and Ping enabled webmasters to alert the search engines to new additions to their web pages even though that was not the primary purpose of these systems. Read the rest of this entry »

By following a few simple guidelines, you can maintain your computer and keep it running smoothly.  While most people would not think of skipping preventative maintenance on their automobiles, they do not apply the same care to the machine that holds their business and banking data, pictures, music, and important communications.
