The major issue bloggers face is that over time their blog archives gets fill up with thousands of posts and by default a blog normally only shows the most recent posts that you have posted on the front page while the majority of your previously written posts can’t get noticed once they drop off the front page.

The new technique is called Sneeze Page. The idea behind it is simple – to create a page that forces the people in different directions deep inside your blog by highlighting a variety of previously written posts.

In simple words – A sneeze page is all about exposing those archives.

There are many types of Sneeze Pages that you can create on your blog. Few types are explained below.

Themed Sneeze Pages – these are posts or pages on your blog or site that revolve around a single theme. The sneeze pages (and others) are linked to prominently around the blog – including the ‘best of blogs’ section of the front page, if you have. These pages generate a lot of page views both themselves and the pages that they link to.

Time Related Sneeze Pages – these pages are based around a defined period of time. They are usually a ‘best of’ post that highlight your key posts from that period to either remind readers of previous posts that they might want to revisit or to highlight posts that they might have missed.

The period of time that you choose can really be anything from a year through to a month, week or even a weekend (ie a post that summarizes the posts from a weekend that those readers who don’t read your blog on a weekend might have missed).

Retro Sneeze Pages – Another variation of this ‘time related’ sneeze page is to do one that unashamedly shows off a number of posts from your blog from a particular point in its history. The most common way to do this is to do a post highlighting posts from the blog from a year ago.

Series Sneeze Pages – many bloggers use the technique of writing a series of blog posts that allow them to explore a topic over a period of time with lots of interlinked posts.

One key with writing a series of posts is to make sure that readers have a trail of links between posts so that they’ll not only read one but the full series.

A great way to help readers discover a full series is to develop a sneeze page. All of the posts in the series should link back to it and it links to them. Series Sneeze pages can become key pages on your blog.

Advantages of Sneeze Pages

Exposure to your archives – I don’t know about you but when I spend hours (if not days) crafting a blog post, I want people to read it! Sneeze pages lengthen the time that people interact with your older posts.

Benefits to SEO – search engines not only look at the links that other people make to your posts in order to give them ranking but the internal links on your blog. Linking to old posts can help them grow their search engine ranking.

Help’s create a Sticky Blog – I’ve not seen stats on this but it is my suspicion that a person arriving on your blog for the first time increases the chances of coming back to it the more great posts that they view on it. Get someone to read 10 great posts that you’ve written previously instead of 1 and you’ll exponentially increase the likelihood that they’ll subscribe and become a regular reader.

Sneeze pages can be an effective way of driving people deep within your blog – but they’ll only do that for as long as you’re able to drive people to the sneeze page itself. As a result – a sneeze page is something that you’ll want to promote and position prominently on your blog in a place that people will continue to see it.

Link your sneeze page from the navigation menu, sidebar or other hot spots on your blog. It works beautifully for both SEO and user experience purpose.

We all know that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the best and most effective way of marketing a website. It is the most efficient method for driving traffic to your website.

Google largely values backlinks that your website may have from some other relevant websites with barely any outgoing links. Generating backlinks is still very important to gain Search Engine trust and to boost up your rankings. So, it would be good, if you find any way to get few backlinks for your site from relevant sites.

But, it is not always possible to get backlinks from the relevant site as other sites are your competitors and why would they provide a link to your website?

With the motive of clearing out illegitimate techniques of SEO employed by black hat users, Google has given a set of restrictions that prohibit black hat users from using their techniques to play with Google’s Algorithms. And, one prominent restriction among these is: Google does not consider any backlinks from other websites hosted on the same C Class IP as yours.

If you want only to increase the Page Rank of your website for flipping, then Multiple C Class IP Hosting is not the one you want to waste your time on. But, if you’re looking to rank your website for a particular keyword, if highly targeted traffic is what you are craving for then multiple C Class IP hosting is the best thing for you.

C Class IP Explained

Basically, an IP consists of 4 parts: Class A, B, C, D divided by “.”. These numbers are given to identify a particular network and a host on that network.

Now, as we mentioned above that Google does not count backlinks from websites that are hosted on IP Addresses in the same IP C Class as your website is hosted, it might get little complicated for utilizing backlinks for ranking. However, this trick surely has a solution. What you can do is create your own websites and trick Google into counting the backlinks.

Simply, you need to create websites on different C classes and place your backlinks on them. The entire procedure is extremely simple, provided you arrange for Multiple C Class web hosting. Once you avail this requirement, all you have to do is registering 10 different domain names in accordance with the niche of your website.

Create WordPress blogs on each domain and craft exclusive, keyword rich articles for these blogs. And then easily get your keywords hyperlinked and backlinks them to your website.

When it comes to boosting your position on SERPs, these backlinks work wonders. They efficiently boost your search engine rankings for your specific keywords as you have backlinks from 10 different websites all of which have low outbound links. This step increases your trust rank amazingly and opens a huge funnel for traffic from Search Engines.

Hence, Multiple C Class IP Hosting is a successful way to enhance your search engine rankings. However, link building is somewhat an expensive option but Multiple C Class IP hosting makes it simple and effective for low budget webmasters.

There is no doubt that having good number of quality inbound links to your website is the key to improve your SERP ranking and as well as the most important factor in search engine optimization. If you are able to get more inbound links, your ranking will begin to rise more effectively. Inbound links have always been valuable for search engines as they use them to calculate the ranking of a particular website. This is the reason, why contextual link building has become tremendously popular SEO strategy that can help cover the way to success on the World Wide Web.

The popularity of contextual link building has gone up in recent times. But not everybody knows how to successfully employ this tactic which is why it may lose its effectiveness in certain cases. You will find some people producing artificially generated links, a practice that doesn’t work well with Google. The think tank behind Google has developed certain ways in which it can differentiate which site is truly popular with the masses from those that are trying to deceive it which is why contextual link building must be executed to perfection.

Contextual link building

Nowadays, there are many professional SEO companies that offer contextual link building solutions. SEO Company develops its strategies on the changing algorithm trends of Google and contextual link building is an offshoot of the changes made by Google. The single most important thing that differentiates contextual link building from all other forms of internet marketing is the fact that it has the ability to connect well with the masses through the human touch. Consequently the links are naturally generated and Google can not target them as being manipulated.

In order to give Google the impression that the links are real you need to have great content written by specialist writers. When the links are placed inside great content the chances of naturally intriguing the readers will increase and this works well with Google.

The other most important aspect is to post these expert reviews on blogs that are on different classic C IP’s. This is to ensure that search engines are unable to detect a similarity between the websites that contain links to your site. The nature of these blogs should be such that they are themselves popular amongst the masses as well as the search engines. This is a very important point in that by posting your reviews on blogs that have a steady readership, you will be able to lure targeted traffic onto your website along which you will get a flow of link juice.

Finding such blogs on your own could be a rather overwhelming task. However, if you go with a professional SEO company the latter will have a number of such blogs as part of their blog network. They will determine the most effective blogs in which to post your reviews and thereby help you derive maximum benefits.

Also, in addition the SEO Company will have the resources and the expertise that will enable them to back up the contextual link building efforts with other popular link building strategies like article marketing. This is beneficial in that it further optimizes your site for the search engines.

Getting indexed in search engines is very much necessary to drive web traffic to your website. To get noticed by people you need to get index in search engines. If you submit your site manually to Google or any search engine it will normally take more than 4 weeks to get indexed. In this article I will show you the easy and fast way to get your website indexed in search engines.

First of all, indexing your website means to get your website visible in search engines. In order to get indexed, you have to follow few simple steps and will need the below listed things.

• Already built website and well-optimized for search engine traffic.
• Top 5 keywords, key phrases related to your website content.
• A clear head.

Content Bait

First of all, take top 5 popular keywords or key phrases and make 5 article titles using them. For example, if my keywords are software, website & article, then my article titles could be:

How to use software
How to create a website
How to write an article

Of course you should be more original than this using your own keywords but you get the idea. Now that you have your article titles, you now need to write a brief article for each title. It doesn’t need to be the best article in the world, just make sure that it’s original. Around three paragraphs for each article are good. Try to use as many of your keywords or phrases in the article content as possible but don’t over do it to the extent that the article doesn’t make sense.

Creating Blogs

Now, that you have your five articles ready, select the one that you think is the best and most relevant to your website and put it to one side, we will come back to that one later. We now need to create a couple of blog accounts to house our articles. First of all visit blogger.com and create an account using one of your most popular keywords… For example if your keyword is “shoes”, make sure your blog URL is shoes.blogspot.com or sports-shoes.blogspot.com.

Take the time to modify your new blog a little, create an introduction post, change the template, and put bit information in the profile, that sort of thing. Once your blog is looking ok, its time to post two of your four articles on your blog. Remember I told you to use as many keywords as possible in your blog. Before submitting your post, convert a couple of these keywords to links to your website. Again, don’t over do it and try to link to separate, relevant pages on your website, not just the homepage. Once your done and your blogspot blog is published on the web its time to move on to the next one. Visit WordPress site, get another blog containing your keyword and repeat the steps for your other two articles.

The fifth article

So,  now you have two Blogs all setup and ready to send you traffic but what about that fifth article I told you to put to one side earlier. Let’s get that one out there too. We are now going to submit your fifth article to some of the many article directories out there. Now you of course you could do this manually but I’ve found the best solution is to use one of the many article submitters that are now available. Simply search Google for “free article submitter” and I’m sure you will find one.

Make sure to fill in all the forms accurately and thoughtfully. The objective is to get your article published so don’t scrimp on the description etc.

Ping the robots

The next step is to tell all the search engine robots about your blog. There are literally hundreds of these so called ping services out there but for this article I’m only going to use only one because that’s really all you need to begin with. Visit pingomatic.com and enter the information for both of your blogs. Remember to enter your information carefully and accurately.

Quit tool

Quit is a tool developed by Eli at Bluehatseo site. You can find a link to the tool in the header on the blog. He won’t tell anybody exactly what it does but I can assure you it works. Again make sure you fill in all the information about your two blogs correctly before you click submits. Only click submit once, the tool can take about 20 seconds to work so be patient.

Directories, Directories & Directories

If you have completed the above steps completely and properly it shouldn’t be more than 24 hours before your website is indexed by Google, Yahoo and some of the other search engines. So what do you do while you are waiting? Directories my friend. A lot of so called SEO experts say that submitting your website to directories is no longer worth the hassle but don’t listen to them. Any inbound link you can get to your website, no matter what the quality is worth its weight in gold.

If you take your time and submit your website to the correct category of directories I can assure you it will increase the amount of bots visits and indeed user visits to your website. You can find a huge list of directories on my website at the large list of directories page. Take your own time to choose the good ones to suit your website.

Link Exchanging

Finally as an extra step to getting your website indexed you should try asking other webmasters to exchange links with you. There are literally hundreds of link building companies and services out there or you could visit forums such as the Link Exchange Forum and post your link exchange request in the correct topic.

Make sure you follow the above steps properly, and watch your website getting indexed very quickly.

There was a time when people used to install many plugins to optimize their WordPress blogs for search rankings, but now forget those multiple plugins and install the new “All IN One SEO Pack” plugin.

All In One SEO Pack plugin is the best and easiest way to improve your WordPress blog’s search engine rankings. It is just like an One Man Army which can do all the things that many plugins could do.

This plugin helps you to optimize your WordPress blog in search engines in following ways.

• It helps you to describe your home page title, home page description and keywords to be more search engine friendly.
• You can change your post, page, category, archive, tag and search title formats according to your needs.
• You can use the categories for Meta Tags & Meta Keywords
• Avoids indexing of duplicate content (prevents indexing of category, archive and tag archive pages)
• The plugin automatically uses a short snippet from the article and generates meta description and it uses post tags for generating keywords.

You just need to edit the above options according to your needs as shown in the below picture:

All these things can really help out your blog rankings. The Title tag is a major point of focus for Google and other search engines, and it’s the part of a result that searchers pay the most attention to. It pays to have good titles.

Meta tags may not have the weight they once did, but they are still considered, and are worth paying attention to all the same.

Please do take care while providing the meta keywords, entering more than 10 Meta keywords for a post or page could be consider as keyword stuffing and will hurt your search engine results.

As by default this plugin includes the blog title in the post, page, category, archieve, tag and search title, it will be good if you remove it as more keywords in your title tags can reduce the importance of your main keywords. So, removing unnecessary stuff like blog title from your title tag would be a good idea.

If you have not created a robot.txt file, then I would recommend you to create this file as it will help your blog to optimize it for search engines.

The internet businesses which occupy online marketing, struggle to improve their conversion rate. There are various ways of attracting targeted traffic.

Some webmasters concentrate on achieving a good Page Ranking in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERP), while some are satisfied with huge traffic.

Website owners think that Google is the only way to achieve their goals, but there are few that also think that a high position in the Alexa ranking may benefit them as well.

Before thinking about Alexa you should know, what are the advantages and disadvantages of Alexa Ranking? Is it really worth?

Advantages:

• Alexa Traffic Graphic can be used as a competitive intelligence tool, but you should take into consideration the fact that the audience sample size is fairly small. Just enter your competitor’s site in the “Compare Sites” section and measure the results of your web marketing efforts in comparison with your competitors’.

• As opposite to Google’s PageRank system, the lower your ranking number in Alexa, the better it is.
• It helps Webmasters and advertisers see the real marketing potential of your Web site. The better your Alexa rank, the higher they may be willing to bid to buy advertising space on your Web site.
• Personal pages or blogs are also ranked in the same way as ordinary Web sites. They will even get a distinctive mark (*)
• Because Alexa ranking helps you with information about your Web site, it is a good instrument for search engine optimization.

Disadvantages:

• Not everybody has the Alexa toolbar installed, so there might be millions of Web sites that, even if they have a lot of traffic, will not be ranked by Alexa.
• Many people say that it is inaccurate and that Alexa traffic can be greatly influenced (or “gamed”, as some prefer to call it).
• Subdomains are not ranked separately, and neither are subpages within a domain. The overall traffic is calculated for the top-level domain viz. homepage of a website only.

How to Get Better Alexa Ranking

If you wish to increase your Alexa traffic ranking, you just need to follow these simple rules:

• Download the Alexa toolbar install it and surf your own site on it.
• There are free alexa widgets available that you can place on your Web site. It will attract visitors to check it out.
• Write some useful, quality and attractive content, mostly webmaster-related. Promote it on webmaster forums and on social networking sites. The idea is to get as many computer and Internet savvy people as possible to visit your site, since the probability that they will have the Alexa toolbar installed is high.
• Write down blogs and articles about Alexa. The links to your pages you will get, will help improve your raking.
• Submit your articles on some popular sites like digg.com, del.icio.us, or stumbleupon.com
• Optimize your site pages for Alexa related keywords.
• Let your friends know about the Alexa toolbar from you, ask them to download and install it on their computers, and then ask them to visit your site.
• Use an Alexa redirect. This means placing http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect? in front of your Web site’s URL. Alexa will then take into consideration clicks on redirected links even if the visitor does not have the Alexa toolbar.
• Apparently, Asian people are huge fans of Alexa. Therefore, many people suggest posting in Asian social networking forums.
• Whenever you post on webmaster forums, include your site’s URL in your signature. It is very likely that most webmasters have the toolbar installed, and there’s a great probability that they’ll visit your site.
