5 Best Link building tips for getting high page rank and traffic

 Link popularity represents the popularity of your website in the internet, enabling you to have a better credibility and bargaining position especially in monetizing your site. It is also a nice thing to watch your site grow in term of link popularity, knowing that all your hard work is blooming. If you are interested in increasing your link popularity, feel free to read this article further. We will discuss this matter in more details.

Link popularity tools usually define the level of popularity based on the indexing of at least five major search engines, with Google and Yahoo and Bing as the big players as always. Therefore, before trying to gain your link popularity, make sure you have adequate SEO (search engine optimization) right there. And one more thing, link popularity usually updates once a week, so if you actively leave backlinks, you will see the results after a week.

OK, increasing link popularity is easy to do because all types of link, both dofollow and nofollow, contribute positively. Let’s start then, here are some methods that you can use to build your link popularity, starting from the easiest and most effective:

1. Commenting in blogs

 Actively commenting on other blogs / websites and leaving backlinks at the same time is the easiest method to build your link popularity. All you need to do is visiting other related blogs / websites, read their articles / contents, share your thoughts, and finally leave your name / URL as signature / identity.Always Try to come in top commentators of that blog.

However, you have to keep it positive and contributive to the discussion in each blog. Otherwise, you may hurt your won brand. You don’t want to look like a spammer, do you?

2. Social Media

Leaving backlinks in social media / forums is also useful in increasing your link popularity. It is also a common thing for bloggers to share their posts in social media like StumbleUpon, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Digg, etc, especially when they have new posts.

Some social media like Twitter automatically shorten your long links using free URL shortening service like TinyURL.com or Bit.ly. Bad news, it is not good for your link popularity because though those shorter URLs redirect to your site, it is literally not yours there. It does not count in the algorithm.

For a better result, always try to leave your links in full length.

3. Link Exchange

Link exchanges also help you increase your link popularity. The best link exchange for your link popularity is the blogroll type, where your link is located in the sidebar / footer of other blog / website. Why is it good? Simple, because the sidebar / footer goes to all the pages / posts. If the website have 400 posts / pages, then you will gain yourself one link in each of them.

Some other websites have special pages for link exchanges, where they put all the exchanged links in one place. It is not too good for your link popularity, since you will get only one link per exchange.

Link exchange needs hard work and patience, but if done right, it is very rewarding.

4. Guest post

Guest post will also give you more inbound links, if your articles accepted. However, this method requires more effort than those above. You have to find the right carnivals that suit your topic first and then submit your posts there. If the host likes your article, you will get more links. If not, you know what will happen.

5. Linking post

 
Linking all post are a passive technique to gain link popularity. The impact of this method is quite difficult to predict. However, all you need to do is focusing to produce contents as good as you can, and the rest will take care of itself.

Tips from Author:

If you seek to raise your level of link popularity, I personally suggest the first method: commenting. Reading other articles will improve your knowledge, and responding to them will exercise your brain. Social media comes afterward, because it will keep you up to date to the trends of the internet, while socializing with your friends. If you still have time to kill after those two, go for the rest.

Ok folks, any question or comment? You are more than welcomed to use the comment box.

11 things that makes your visitors to hate your blog

Do you want your visitors to stay on your blog for a while and read your posts? I bet you do. That is why you should know these 11 mistakes that drives your visitors away in less than two minutes. Avoid them and your visitors will enjoy their stay and come back again in future. Making your visitors annoyed quickly is never a good idea for a blog / website, you know. Especially when it's growing.Try to follow these rules in your blog.

 

1. Using large or too many graphics or pics: loads slow

Large and lots of graphics cost bandwidth and and make your site slow to load. If the load time is beyond your visitors' limit of acceptance, they will get impatience obviously. Thus resulting in their leaving at once, and that is not something you want. If a larger image is needed to describe your content, provide a link like "click here to view in larger size" or something. Therefore, the slow loading only occur when your visitor wish to see the larger image. Bigger size is not always better, dude.

2. Playing music or video automatically: irritating

Have you ever visited a website or blog that plays music automatically without your agreement? What do you feel? 9 of 10 people will get annoyed and quickly close the tab or window to silence it. If you have a plan to add sound effect or music to your site, don't do it, just don't. That's why they created Winamp, so that people can listen to music WHEN they want it. Don't force them to hear it from your site, that's bad.

3. Using bad formatting styles / template 

 
Very simple: if your site is not friendly on the eyes, visitors will feel uncomfortable. It will drive them away fast, especially when the formats break into each other like crazy. Therefore, decide your format / template early and stick with it. There are a lot of free web templates out there that look tidy and good, don't say you can't afford them.

4. Using poor background color or image: text hard to read

 Poor background color or image will make your text hard to read, and it is certainly annoying for your visitors. They will leave in half a minute. Improve your site's readability to make your visitors comfortable to stay. Light background is good with dark texts, and vice verse. Your target visitors are not super-men with their super vision, are they?
 

5. Wrong Information And Broken Links

You don’t have to ensure the accuracy of the information on your posts. I mean who has so much time to do researches just to make sure that the facts and figures are correct. An estimate would do fine. A little exaggeration wouldn’t hurt either.
And forget about checking all those links to see if they really work. If you want to move the pages around, by all means do it freely. “Error 404 Page not found” is just a few things that reader should put up with and not get all upset over it.

6. Writing too long posts: boring

No one likes someone who talks too much, and it also applies in blogging. Most internet surfers are modern type of people, and in this modern day, people have lots of things to do. Therefore, if you think people will have the time to read long babbling posts, you are wrong. Always make your articles comprehensive and don't extend them over and over.

 

7. Using elements that blink, bounce, or scroll: distracting

Unless your website or blog is for kids, it is a bad idea to have these elements. They will distract your visitors from your message, reducing your communication effectiveness. Whatever you do, always limit or remove distracting elements from your site. Less is more my friend, less is more.

8. Using poor opening on the posts: negative first impression

Some people tend to open their post lamely, and that is totally bad for visitors. For example, if you are going to write a post about computer technology, don't open it by telling what activity you did yesterday, which has nothing to do with the topic.

9. Putting excessive advertising and inline ads

Few ads will make your website looks more professional, but putting too many of them will distract your visitors from your content. It also has a big chance to irritate your visitors and drive them away quickly. You won't get more money from ads if they are annoying for your visitors. Don't look like you desperately wanting money, it's not too good for your brand.

10. Putting a registration page

Trust me folks, it will not make the visitors register. Instead, it will drive them away instantly. Time on site and bounce rate will show it, if you use some traffic analytic. If you really really want to ask people to register to your website, you better offer them something worthy registering. Otherwise, those who have registered may curse you because they feel deceived.

11.Bad fonts : irritating

Fonts play a major role in the blog design.Apply fonts that are easily readable to users. Dont use hard fonts to make blog unique from others.Dont use more than 3 types of fonts within a post.Fonts make your readers to read your post again and again!!

What kind of annoyance do you hate the most from a website (based on your experience)? Let's share on the comment box below.

Disable Country Specific Domain Redirection in Blogger

 

Recently, Blogger introduces a Country Specific URL's redirection for all BlogSpot domains. Instead of the blogspot.com domain extension, your readers will see their country specific domain extensions. The redirection currently implemented on India and so far all blogspot.com domains redirecting to blogspot.in.

For exmaple: If you are viewing a blog with address blog-name.blogspot.com from Australia (AU), then you will be redirected to blog-name.blogspot.com.au. Similary, if you are viewing from India it will be redirected to blog-name.blogspot.in.

This redirection is called "country-code Top Level Domain" (ccTLD). It also knows as "302 Redirect" which is a temporary change and not a 301 redirect which is a permanent change of address.A report says that many countries are affected from this. These countries are

1. Argentina [blogspot.com.ar] 
2. Australia [blogspot.com.au] 
3. Brazil [blogspot.com.br] 
4. Canada [blogspot.ca] 
5. Czech Republic [blogspot.cz]
6. France [blogspot.fr] 
7. Germany [blogspot.de] 
8. Hong Kong [blogspot.hk]
9. India [blogspot.in] 
10. Italy [blogspot.it] 
11. Japan [blogspot.jp] 
12. Mexico [blogspot.mx] 
13. New Zealand [blogspot.co.nz] 
14. Portugal [blogspot.pt] 
15. Romania [blogspot.ro]
16. Spain [blogspot.com.es] 
17. Sweden [blogspot.se] 
18. UK [blogspot.co.uk]
