How I Index My Blogs With Google

If you’re creating websites or blogs, it’s important for you to index your blog url’s.

What do i mean by indexing your URL? In simple layman terms, it means, “informing the search engines that you’ve created a blog/site and you want them to add it to their search databases.”

I’ve realized, many bloggers and website owners DO NOT index their sites OR perhaps they aren’t aware of it.

DID YOU KNOW? From an SEO perspective, URL indexing IF done right, can boost a blogs or website’s rankings and you can start getting lots of traffic to your blogs in no time?

As a blog marketer (yo, yo.. that’s me!), I take precise steps to index my blogs MANUALLY (without using any automated site submitting softwares)

So again, why do you need to index your blog’s URL?

Because…

  1. To help your blog get listed in the search engine directory; &
  2. To help your blog gain rankings, exposure and traffic.

But, there are so many search engines out there (thousands infact!). Which ones do I need to visit to add my URL’s to?

Well…, I only index with the 3 Big Boys!

  • Google
  • Yahoo
  • Bing

Some marketers and bloggers tend to take URL indexing rather too seriously and actually begin to index with hundreds of search engines, one by one. You DON’T need to do that, please!

Google is the ‘father’ of the SE’s and as long as Google or Yahoo indexes your url, other engines will follow suit and index your urls as well. I’ve tested it and I’m sharing out of experience.

Let me explain further by showing you a screenshot I snapped from an authority site which reveals the TOP search engines and their market share.


As you can see from the data above, its clear that Google is definitely the market leader where search engines are concern.

Here Is Exactly How I Index
My Blogs With Google

NOTICE: Recently, Google has been facing some problems with their standard url addition tool (http://www.google.com/addurl/). Some of you may have experienced this glitch. Whenever you try submiting your URL, you’ll get an error.

You will NOT be able to add your blog’s url with Google, because the site doesn’t show a CAPTCHA for you to insert.

Don’t worry, I’ve found another way on how you can add your blog’s URL with Google.

STEP 1: Visit Google’s Blog Search site . The url is http://blogsearch.Google.com

STEP 2: Scroll right to the bottom of the page and find the link which says, “Information for Blog Authors” Click oin it.

STEP 3: Once on the page, simply add your blog’s URL and hit the submit button.

You’re done! Simple right?

Questions? Comments? Use the comments section below. I’d love to hear your side of the story.

REMEMBER: Google doesn’t imply any guarantees that your blog will get indexed in their database. But there are certain practices you can follow to get a higher chance of your blog getting indexed.

Add Product Links From Magazine.com

Hi guys and gals of the blogosphere,

Some of you maybe wondering how to insert product links from Magazine.com and insert in your blog. You’ve waited patiently for my reply and I thank you sincerely.

Actually, I was testing a new software to create video intro’s and my whole system crashed! Yeah…I know! Luckily I always backed up my work and saved important files and doc’s in an external drive. Phew!

Anway, instead of having to write the steps and show you screenshots, I thought why not create video tutorials instead. It’s easier for you to see me doing it rather than reading the steps.

Here it is…

Part 1-Get Product Links From Magazine.com

Now that you’ve got the html linking code, all you have to do is login to your blog admin (dashboard) and insert it in the widgets section.

The following video shows the steps.

Part 2- Embed HTML Code from Magazine.com into WordPress

Any feedbacks? I’d love to hear from you.

Keyword Gem Outperforms Google Adwords Tool!

Dear fellow Online Marketers,

Would you believe if I told you Google Adwords Tool is useless? You see, I knew something was amiss the moment they launched their new Google Adwords Tools Beta 3.0 version recently.

I mean why suddenly change the overall look and feel and features of a tool which has been around working perfectly for more than 5 years now?

Here is what else I’ve been experiencing lately with the newly relaunched Adwords Tool and I didn’t like the results I was getting!!!

You see, as a  pro Niche Marketer, I have to rely strongly on using the right Keyword tools to conduct my research and just like thousands of other marketers in the world, I was to a certain extent dependent upon Google’s Adwords Tool.

Now, if you have been doing keyword research for any period of time, you will agree with me that in order to find profitable keywords, one must be able to go deep within a niche and locate the right keywords which have a high search volume and a low competition.

So, ever since Google came up with the new version of Adwords Tool, here is what I’ve been experiencing:-

  • INSUFFICIENT number of quality keywords
  • A DECREASE in the overall number of keywords shown
  • INABILITY to go deep and locate profitable, high demand, low competition keywords.

And, this wasn’t good for my niche blog business!

So, when  Todd Perk  came up with his latest Keyword Research software, and when I saw what it could really do, I immediately jumped out of my seat in excitement (literally!!!) and gave the software a test run.

Honestly! I was AMAZED and SHOCKED with the results!

VS   

In one of the keyword researches I did, I compared the results side by side with both tools (Adwords Tools vs Keyword Gem – KG)  and here is what I discovered:-

  1. KG showed me 372 more keywords than Google Adwords tool
  2. KG displayed some of the most profitable keywords which were NOT even disclosed by Google Adwords Tool
  3. KG located some of the keywords which I could never even have even imagined existed in the first place.

Listen! you don’t have to believe me. I’d rather you go see the results for yourself and then decide whether what i’m saying makes sense!

Todd has put together an amazing video on his site which shows you the FACTS and FIGURES in real-time where he actually takes a keyword and puts to test both tools. Yup the video is FREE. Go watch it now!.

Click here or on the video image below to view real-life PROOF of how KG tool outperformed and beat Google Adwords Tool flat out!

(by clicking on the image above, a new screen will open in your browser)

If you have tested Todd’s keyword research tool, do post some comments here sharing with the me and the readers of your experience.  I would appreciate it. Thanks!

To your keyword research success,

Significance of KeywordLuv and How To Install.

To all blog masters and students of HNM training,

If you’re using WordPress like me, then you must have heard about a plugin called KeywordLuv. But if you searched for it in the WordPress plugin section, you’ll come up with nothing.

WordPress, for some reason, has delisted this powerful plugin not too long ago and everyone was dissapointed waiting for an updated version to be listed back up again in their plugin directory, BUT it never did. I have no idea why?!

Significance of KeywordLuv

KeywordLuv is basically a small but VERY POWERFUL plugin which allows visitors to comment on your blog but instead of the usual way of leaving their names in the Name box with a @, joining the their name and keywords together, they now have the ability to split their name from the keywords.

EXAMPLE:
Usually they would enter their name in this manner nancy@theblogpost.com, their names will appear like

Nancy@the blog post says: (without keywordluv)

Instead of

Nancy from the blog post says:   (with keywordluv)

Notice, the name Nancy is now no longer part of the keywords! This is what you want and this is what Google likes to see as well.

Is this important?
You bet! When Google sends its robot for indexing on those pages where you have commented on, they’ll be looking for something called an anchor text. This simply means, your keywords are linked to your blog’s url. There is no reason why your name should be adjoining the keywords. Your keywords are being ranked, NOT your name.

How To Install KeywordLuv Plugin (Step-by-Step)

Installation is simple, thanks to Stephen Cronin. (The inventor of the KeywordLuv plugin).

STEP 1: Download KeywordLuv plugin. (Make sure your DoFollow plugin is activated. Without it, this won’t work.)

STEP 2: Save it on your hard drive and name the folder plugins.

STEP 3: Login to your WordPress dashboard.

STEP 4:
From the Plugins section (on your left pane), click and select Add New.

STEP 5:
At the top of the Plugins page select Upload.

STEP 6:
Browse where you saved the downloaded plugin a while ago and click Install Now.

STEP 7:
Once installed, you must activate it. Once activated, you’re good to go.

That’s it. To view the effects of your newly installed plugin, logout and in a new window, open your url. You should see the words:-

This site uses KeywordLuv. Enter YourName@YourKeywords in the Name field to take advantage.

Now when someone comes to your blog and reads your post, and they decide to reply, their names will be separated from their keywords. This will improve rankings for your visitors site and therefore it will give them more reason to visit your blog often and comment on your posts.

Regards,

A Aaron

Article Rewrite Softwares: Do They Really Work?

Before I answer the question,  I’d like to apologize to all the article rewrite and  content rewrite software developers for blurting out the truth! I’ve had enough if *B.S* about automated systems that can do a job of a human. Anyway, this is NOT a deliberate attempt to undermine anyone in particular. I love you all. I just wanted to share my honest opinion.

Being an Internet marketer for so long (since 2004), I’ve tried various tools and softwares that would, presumably, make my life easier and give me more time to do other important tasks. Basically, I didn’t want to be ‘bogged down’ with repetitive and boring work such as content and article writing.

So, I began scouting around for an easy way out. Downloading artice rewriting tools.

Side Note : All those of you who are still scouting around for the ‘perfect’ article rewriter, DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY until you’ve finished reading  this entire post!!!

So, to answer the question, “Do these tools work? The answer is NO! Let me explain why…

1) Google Is Very Strict When It Comes To Duplicate Content

Since, more and more people have become dependent on computers, technology and the Internet and,  many more have begun jumping on the ‘make money from the Internet’ bandwagon, as a result, a lot of ‘rubbish’ has been spreading on the Information Super-highway over the last few years!

My main point when saying this is, you’ll find lots and lots of irrelevant, unrelated, untargeted, content either in blog posts, website homepages, article directories etc. And this is not a good thing. People may STOP depending someday on the the Internet for information sourcing due to these factors.

Google Logo

Did you also know, Google is very particular when it comes to copywright laws, plageurism, and duplicate content?

How do I know this? It’s clealy stated in its Webmaster Guidelines.

But even from my own personal experience, during my initial years of marketing online, I used to make things easy for myself by bluntly coying content from EzineArticles.com and pasting them in my websites and blogs. Yup! Just like that! (Shh…some of the sites are still live on the Net) But what I realised is, the search rankings for most of my sites began to drop.

At one point, I was ranked No.1 and then…all of a sudden…. **BHOOM…No. 29,456. I mean literally the rankings dropped and my sites were no where to be seen. Not on the 1st page, not even on the 2nd page, heck…not even on the 3rd page. That’s when I realised, something was wrong.

BECAREFULL!!! Today, with the advancement in technology, Google has the ability to simply identify duplicate content within seconds upon you publishing your website or blog. Google TOTALLY dislikes duplicate content!

Some article rewrite programmers say, their tools can can churn close to 95% uniqueness, I say bravo! BUT Google wants 100%!!!

(Content uniqueness is a measurement of how unique is a rewritten content compared to the original source and is measured in percentage %)

2) Are You Writing For Humans or Robots?

So, after scouting around for a while, I was tempted to try out a few of these tools. So, I went ahead and bought a few hoping it will help me save time and generate unique content automatically! Boy…was I in for a surprise!

In the end, after trying them all (sorry, i won’t mention specific product names), neither of them worked to my expectation. On the reverse, I ended up spending more time figuring out the confusing features of the softwares and was totally dissapointed with the results! I even returned a few of them back and claimed a full  refund!

Guys! and gals! bloggers and webmasters…whom are you writing your content for? Robots or humans? Think about it! For humans of course. Ask yourself, how would you feel if you found a blog which promised you a solution to a problem and when you visited the site, NONE of the content made sense to you.

So, the bottomline is, I still ended up spending more time  proof-reading, re-editing and making sure the article or content was humanly readable and made sense.

3) The Best Article Rewriting Software Is….

YOU! I mean your mind and brainlah! What can beat a brain? Especially when it comes to writing speech content. What the heck is ‘speech content’?  Writing what you feel, think and speak. How can a computer program, think feel and speak like a human would?! You know the answer to that.

So, I’ve TOTALLY abandoned these softwares now and rely heavily on myself and my brain. BUT here is what I can suggest and it won’t cost you a dime…it’s totally FREE!

There is a tool in the market (which I’m currently using and I think is one of the best out there!), you can use it to generate truly unique content. It’s called WordWeb. Here are just some of its features:-

  • Definitions and synonyms
  • Related words
  • 5000 audio pronunciations
  • 65 000 text pronunciations
  • 150 000 root words
  • 120 000 synonym sets
  • Look up words in almost any program

Here is a screenshot:-

To download your FREE copy, simply click the link at the bottom and follow the onscreen instructions. Once downloaded, you don’t need to be online to use this tool, it works even when you’re offline too.

Download WordWeb>> http://wordweb.info/cgi-bin/geoip/wordweb.exe

I even managed to find a YouTube video showing you some of the basics on how to use this marvellous dictionary.

Any comments? I’d love to hear from you.

Best of luck in your online endeavours!
