How to make your Blog SEO friendly ?

Today, I would like to discuss with you some of the steps to follow for making your Blog in Blogger SEO friendly for search engines like Google.
It is a must for all of us to be found on the search engines. Search Engine Optimization in itself is a very wide topic. You can not sum up in a post or two. It is a continuous process.
Let's start.


 


Step #1
Title of your Blog Post
Always remember that the title of your blog post should carry related keywords so that it becomes much easier for search engines to find your post when that keywords are searched for.




Step #2
Adding the right Permalink
Permalink plays a great role in search engine ranking of your post. There are few rules which everyone should follow for Blogspot permalinks:
  • Keep the number of characters in post title to 50
  • Remove Stop words from permalink (Ex: A, an, the)
While writing a blog post, you have an option to edit the permalink. Simply use it to edit your permalink and remove the stop words. A good idea is to just use Keywords in your permalink. (Don’t make it look spammy). While writing blog post, you get option in your right panel to keep it automatic permalink or manual permalink. Simply select manual permalink and edit it according to your wish. Check this screenshot for example.



Step #3
Maintaining Keyword Density
It is a must to maintain good keyword density in your blog posts. Generally 2% density could be considered to be good to serve your purpose of SEO. Never stuff your post with keywords. This could harm the ranking of your page. It is advisable to read your post after completing it and then decide if you could add some keywords somewhere.


Step #4
Use of proper Labels in related posts
You should always remember to make use of labels in your posts in a wider form rather then in narrow category. For example, while you are writing on Google Chrome instead of using browser as labels it is advisable to use Google Chrome Browser or Google Chrome as labels. This would extend your reach when the post is categorized.

Step #5
Post title before the blog title
To make your blog more SEO friendly it is a must that Title of each of your post appears before the title of your blog itself.
This could be achieved as follows : 
In the Dashboard of Blogger go to edit Template - HTML - find out code section 










Now the individual pages will have post title itself .

As I already told you SEO is not a days work. So, I will keep on writing more on this topic.

Keep reading and stay connected.

How to use your SmartPhone in a smart way ?

Are you really Smarter than your SmartPhone ?

Earlier when the phones were modular, things were a bit slow. Phones were only used for spoken communication. Not much of other activities were conducted through those phones. But, SmartPhone technology has changed the whole scenario. We have switched to MultiTasking levels. But, a straight question that arises in my mind is How well do we use our SmartPhone? Is your Office on SmartPhone  actually and truly effective ?



Let's begin to explore things to learn from your SmartPhone ...



Be sure to have a Strong Signal :
Have you ever experienced a problem updating your Facebook status through your SmartPhone while you are in your office? Were you not able to send an important email? Or Did you fail to connect on WhatsApp when it was most required? This all could be due to weak signals.

The answer to it is always choose the right signal path. Don't just run to try and find a window to catch up with the signal. Growing and maintaining good connection is always a smart idea.





Start a thoughtful Communication :
Don't just waste your time in discussion without any point. Make the best out of your on air time. Always get engaged in a smart communication. 

Be precise. Be short. Your discussions should be bulleted mentally. Conversations should be intentional. Much purposeful. 



Avoid Power Drain :

Using Wi-Fi and GPS is extremely helpful in our day to day transactions. But these two contribute the most in consuming the battery of your SmartPhone. Likewise, never be dull. Always try to maintain your high spirits.

A positive attitude helps you always maintain a good cordial atmosphere around you and this leads to better relations with your colleagues, friends and relatives. Be charged and stay energized.

Always be updated :
You always keep your SmartPhone updated. That's important so as to use it more effectively. Likewise, if you wish to be in demand then a simple trick to follow is always stay updated.

Avoid obsolescence. Update yourself as needed with continuing education in your field and with a select news feed to keep current on latest trends and developments

How to use WhatsApp on PC ?

 
The first step towards getting WhatsApp working inside your browser is to get the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, BlackBerry, Nokia S60, or Windows Phone (sorry iPhone users) that comes with support for WhatsApp Web. Look for the WhatsApp Web option in the respective apps before proceeding further - the WhatsApp Web website tells you where to find the option inside each app. Android users, make sure you are running version 2.11.498 or later. 

 To check what version of WhatsApp you are on, open the app, go to the menu (three dots) - Settings - Help - About.

Next, open the WhatsApp Web website on your desktop in Google Chrome. This is important as there's no standalone desktop app for WhatsApp and WhatsApp Web will not work in any other browser like Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Once the WhatsApp Web page finishes loading, you will see a QR code on the top left part of the screen. Now fire up WhatsApp on your mobile phone and select WhatsApp Web from the menu (three dots).

Align the QR code with your phone's camera and, almost instantly, you'll find yourself staring at your recent WhatsApp conversations inside Chrome on the desktop. For those wondering, the QR code generated each time is unique, and by scanning it with your phone, you are associating the current WhatsApp Web session with the one on the phone you are logged into WhatsApp from. Your phone reads the QR code and transmits the session ID and other associated information to WhatsApp servers, which then establish the pairing between your phone and the WhatsApp Web session. This is as elegant a solution as you can have for a service that has no username/ passwords, without resorting to things like one-time passwords or manual input of secure tokens.  

 
The WhatsApp Web UI will look familiar to all WhatsApp users. You can of course joining existing conversations (including groups) or initiate new ones. Features like delivery and read receipts are supported, and you can also share pictures (stored on your computer, or by clicking a fresh one using your webcam) as well as voice messages without needing to touch your phone.

Why should you Start Your Blog ?

During the course of my life I have been inclined towards many things and hobbies like playing Cricket, Badminton, Football and playing music on Guitar that my father had gifted me. But, computers have always fascinated me a lot, and finally it's Blogging that makes me even more happier.

It was in the year 2002 that I first started my free website without realizing how much it could change my whole thinking about my usage of Internet for expression of feelings and thoughts. Initially all my blogs were targeted towards making money. But gradually the scene has changed. Now blogging has become a passion for me. I love to write about things I feel would be of benefit to others. I have found this very versatile medium of expression.

What are the Impacts of Blogging on Life 

It makes you a better writer :
Writing is a way of communication. Just like speaking. It also helps you communicate your thoughts to others. You become a better writer the more you practice. Thus, blogging will enhance your writing skills without you even aware of it. It's an automatic effect. Hence this improved writing skill of yours helps you in socializing.

Improves your thoughts :
Since writing involves putting your thoughts across the paper, it makes you think deeper while you write your blog post as well. You will surely start diving deep into more whats happening around you and across the world.

Start leading a more intentional life :
After taking up to blogging you would start thinking more about writing on your life intentionally as is also evident from the start of this post of mine. You start to think who you are, who you are becoming, whether you like what you see or not.

Choosing meaningful things :
Once you start blogging many thought run through your mind. You can not post every event that's happening around you. Hence it's a must that you make the right choice of event to mention in your blog. Blogging doesn't end in a day. As it's an ongoing process, you would learn to focus more on important things as you proceed in your journey of blogging.

Adopting healthier habits :
You will definitely feel that blogging requires time, devotion, discipline and commitment. Since I love writing about health on http://Best-Health-Tips-001.blogspot.com I myself try to lead a disciplined life by doing a  bit of Yoga and Pranayam in the mornings and going to a long walk in the evenings. Blogging helps you develop new life habits for your betterment.

Chance to meet new people :
Since the blogging community is encouraging and friendly it creates a chance for you to meet new set of people everyday via comments, emails and social media like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. This online community of yours is highly helpful. I even meet new people in the evenings for collecting free advertisements for another blog of mine http://PicAds4U.blogspot.com.

You can make some money :
If you wish you can even make money from your blogging skills, but this could be a distraction to your main motto of blogging. It is left upto you to decide.

A source for inspiration for others :
You can very well become a huge source of inspiration for others. Thus, I can very well state that your blogging doesn't only change your life but it also impacts other people's lives as well. As you write selflessly for others to read your thoughts for free it is obvious that you inspire their heart and soul. In the time to come they become your followers.

Blogging is free
Yes, blogging on sites like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com is absolutely free for you and hence another big reason for you to start blogging and create your impact in this world.


Hope you liked my post.
