Blog Usability: Feeds
Posted by Guru as Blogging Tools, Syndication, Tips I have written about the importance of RSS and/or Atom feeds to blogs. By providing feeds you will not really be increasing the on-site usability of your blog but its overall usability. Regular blog visitors often prefer checking the contents of their favorite blogs using feed aggregators (i.e. Google Reader). The reason for this is very simple: it is a whole lot more efficient to check an RSS aggregator for blog updates than check each blog you like one by one. This is especially important to people who read blogs not just for liesure but to keep themselves updated with ...Comments Off
Are Your Blog’s Feeds Optimized? Part 2
Posted by Guru as Marketing and Search Optimization, SEO Features, Syndication Aside from offering full RSS feeds and using Feedburner's features to optimize your feeds other things that you can do to optimize your feeds are: Pick a Feed/Channel title that is relevant to your theme - This is pretty obvious but many still fail to do this. Make sure that the title has important keywords included. The RSS Feed's title should also be easy to read and remember. Make it catchy but not misleading...and never forget the keywords. Optimize the channel description - The description is where you get to expand the title and give readers a better idea of what the ...Comments Off
Making Your Blog More Accessible: Offer Feeds
Posted by Guru as Blogging Tools, Marketing and Search Optimization, Promotion, Syndication Have you ever experienced being so excited about a specific blog entry you've posted that you just can't wait for people to start reading them? To be honest, I have. When I first started blogging several years back I was so excited I kept on "promoting" my personal blog to my friends. I'm pretty sure I emailed people and told practically everyone I met (who I knew went online regularly) about my then new blog. I was pretty happy with my first post since I got about 5 comments from people who I pestered enough to actually read my blog. ...Comments Off
Lazy Bloggers Get No Traffic
Posted by Guru as Blogging Tools, Marketing and Search Optimization, Promotion, Syndication, Tips Blog syndication is not the easiest thing to do. If it was then I wouldn't need to keep myself busy learning more each day about SEO and all the new things cropping up in the blogosphere. The weird thing about many bloggers though is that despite the fact that though we do want wider readership many are just to lazy to keep in touch with the trends or make a little effort to make the most out of the services we use. Take Feedburner for instance. Feedburner didn't win the 2006 Chicago Innovation Awards just because they burn feeds ...Comment (1)
Addressing Duplicate Content: Part 1
Posted by Guru as Marketing and Search Optimization, SEO Features, Syndication We all know the dangers of duplicate content and how search engines can penalize you for duplicate content. In my post entitled "Strike that Page from the Index" I discussed one of the ways to address duplicate content and avoid being penalized for it. There I mentioned how you can block some pages from being indexed by simply specifying those pages in your robots.txt file as disallowed pages. Aside from blocking those pages though there are more ways to avoid being penalized for duplicate content including: 1. Syndicating properly - When syndicating your work make sure that you ask the ...Comments Off
Blog Rush
Posted by Guru as Blogging News, Marketing and Search Optimization, Plugins, Promotion, Software and Widgets, Syndication Unless you've been really out of touch in the blogging world then you have probably heard about BlogRush by now. BlogRush was launched only very recently (Sept 15th) but has been making headlines, and more importantly, has been getting a real rush of bloggers signing up and putting up their widget on their blogs. But what is Blog Rush really? And what will it do for your blog? Blog rush is simply a blog syndication network. With all the blog syndication networks peppering the internet what makes Blog Rush standout? Well, first of all, its claim of giving you an instant ...Comments Off
