Be careful not to get your blog blacklisted by search engines
We see a lot of information about how to use SEO to get traffic to a blog.
A few days ago, a friend gave me some important information about SEO.
A few days ago, a friend gave me some important information about SEO.
Here is the info I want to share in this blog. Some of the tips are to help you make sure your site or blog won't be blacklisted by the popular search engines. If it happened, your site would never appear in the search results. Which means no traffic from the SEs. That's bad, real bad.
Here we go.
As would free giveaways and giveaway event marketing. A nofollow tag is a piece of code that tells a search engine this link is not important don't record it or visit the other site. Your link may as well not be there if they use a nofollow tag on their blog roll.I hope this information is useful to you.
Here we go.
- Always put relevant keywords in an article or blog post : don't put just about anything, hoping to get the SEs attention. Putting google, facebook, twitter, youtube, or any popular site's name, if it's placed out of context, will be considered spam by the SEs. Spam by SE = blacklisted. That's rule number 1.
- Number of keywords : If you get into the habit of putting many keywords, say, 20 no more, no less, if you can fit 20 keywords in under 160 characters it's not bad but too many keywords cuts the keyword weight down, which can cause you to rank very slow on more keywords
- The real importance of the number of backlinks : Having many backlinks is nothing much to brag on. Sites can have many backlinks everywhere but Alexa simply by distributing the rss feed with pingomatic, and bookmarking with ping.fm. You submit your site you will get many backlinks in directory links alone within 6 weeks, and not one bit of a backlink has anything to do with keyword strategy, it is more for working on link building.
- Don't rely too much on Google Analytics : Analytics helps get feedback and it also helps Google index better but it will also help you burn yourself quicker as Google Bot will be on your site more often re-checking the content and seeing the keywords do not match, if you put irrelevant keywords like I explained in the first point. Use Analytics carefully, i.e. let the post decide the keywords, SEO can only get short term benefit and long term demise from trickery
- Putting backlinks of friends's blogs : It's only good if those other blogs are about the same things as your blog. if you are writing about home business an exchange of links with a blog on poetry is worthless to you. Only make targeted link swaps and make sure the other blogger doesn't use the nofollow tag on their blog. The wider the topic of a blog the harder it will be to rank and drive traffic.
As would free giveaways and giveaway event marketing. A nofollow tag is a piece of code that tells a search engine this link is not important don't record it or visit the other site. Your link may as well not be there if they use a nofollow tag on their blog roll.I hope this information is useful to you.

@927tahir, now that's rare. You use your own comment written on Nov. 30 and post it again, here, for the same article, and it's a copy and paste job, word for word. Strange. Reported for abuse, let's see what the admins think

Always use the Relevant Key words for your Blog Post or Articles Marketing.Moreover, never use too many key words, as it will Black List your Blog by the Search Engine, whatever it may be.
It's worth mentioning here, that SEO can only give you, a short term Benefit & is not Beneficial in the long run.

Your site title is one of the first places engine spiders look to see what the site is about. It should contain at least your number one keyword in it and that keyword should be on of the first 3 words. A Site title should be fairly short 3-6 words if possible because you want a high density for the keyword in the title.
If your keyword is listed once the density on 3 words is 33% on 5 words is already down to 20% by the time the 6th is written yo are just under 17% density. Preferred range

Wonderful info. One thing that I learn from my experience, do not change your site title often because you could lost your keywords ranking and I don't know why.

SEO is definitely a game best played "by the rules." Long term success with SEO requires a game plan, dedication, and good work ethic.

Guys, I'm really happy that Andy took the time to give us some additional info.
As I had stated, the info in the blog comes from him, not me, but you know what can happen sometimes, the journalist can misinterpret some details,especially an amateur journalist. :)
I will edit the blog, with Andy's feedback, to make the necessary corrections.

Just a couple quick notes here as some of the conversation was cut so a couple small areas seem almost opposite of the ideas I was trying to share with Phil.
On the Google Analytics it's an almost must have, but if you use blackhat SEO or haven't done the search engine optimization work it will notify Google of the bad as fast as it shows them the good. Basically Analytics is a friend to those who have good SEO skills and enemy of those who use trickery.
It's important to have a ton of lin

@IdrisIndia, I'm an avid reader, and I'm so scared of doing the tiniest little thing that could destroy months or years of efforts, the words "blackhat" and "blacklist" are like magnets to me, I want to make sure to stay away from any trick that is in a gray area, my objectives are to be in IM for decades. I know the concept of blacklisting is not widely known, it just happened that I received these awesome tips from Andy, and I've finally reached a point in my understanding of the IM world that

@tahir @Katrina @Cindy I was wondering if I might have goofed, as I wrote the info coming from Andy almost word for word from chat, but had to adapt it cause different context, and I'm no SEO expert by any stretch of the imagination. I was very careful to write all the info correctly, since these are not directions to the closest Wal-Mart store, a mistake and someone might have wanted to give me a whack on the head sending me to the moon :)
All the feedback I got in the blog so far have been
