Posted by Debarshi Kanjilal - 16/03/11 at 07:03 am

In the recent times we have see that Google has brought about a change in the algorithm. This change has somehow brought a sense of surprise to the SEO world, as there are people who are trying to figure out the changes that have occurred. The online webmasters and business owners are eager to know about the changes that occurred in Google SEO algorithm.

This change has pushed the webmaster to rethink their strategy and also shuffle the traditional SEO strategy. The use of the on page optimization has actually increased the manifold by leaps and bounds, as now it will account to 40 % of the total SEO efforts opposed to 20 % SEO effort that was present previously.

One area companies must ensure is the use of proper Meta tags, which must be compact and concise, as Google has categorically said that websites without proper Meta tags will be summarily rejected.

The use of the Meta tag, which must be of 156 characters precisely for good result, is generally essential as it ensures sufficient traffic to the website and use tags that are present in the website content. While using the Meta tag one must be careful with the use of keywords.

Finding that perfect niche to blog about

Posted by Michon Montgomery - 01/03/11 at 10:03 am

I currently have three blogs. All of them I have interest in, but they’re not something I can blog on continuously like I would like to. I blog on them as something comes up for me to blog about or I have to research and find information that relates to the topic for me to blog about.
My husband is a golf fanatic and I tried to encourage him to start a blog about golfing. He plays all of the time, so he can blog about his experiences with the game. He watches golf tournaments, so he can blog about his opinion of them as he watches them. He always looks at instruction DVD’s, so he can document what he’s learned from viewing those DVD’s. He’s gon on golf trips with his friends, so he could talk about the fun they had. Last, he simply just goes to the golf range and hit practice balls!
There’s so much he could blog about and golf is a good topic to get good advertisement from adsense on. I even told him I would be his blogger if he would just tell me what to blog about. He simply does not have the interest.
As I mentioned, I have blogs and they’re blogs of interest, but I’m still in search of my passion that I can write about easily, don’t have to research for blog information, choose a topic that’s not over saturated in the internet market and have good adsense advertisement to go with it. I think that will give a good blogging career!

How often should you use your main keyword

Posted by Ravi Clab - 01/03/11 at 05:03 am

Do you want to optimize your website for the search engines? Then you should know the number of keywords you should use on a page. First you have to know how often you should use your main keyword.
Well, there is no single answer to this question of ideal keyword density, you know.

The search engines keep changing their algorithm. In 2003-2004, a keyword density of 10 to 15 percent was considered standard by the Google. 2005 onwards, the optimal keyword density is considered as 2 to 3 percent.

If you do not use your keyword frequently, you will not come up on a higher rank by the search engines. If you overuse your keywords, then you may be penalized by the search engines. You are in a dilemma.

Beside this, if you load your page with keywords, your content may seem artificial like one produced by the machine. Your readers may not like that. Nobody likes to read a page that sounds like a mechanically produced nonsense targeting search engine optimization.

So you need to maintain a balance. Your main keyword should ideally be used 3 to 4 times in the maximum, if your content contains 500 words. You may use other related keywords in the body of your text, but for the main keyword, that number should be maintained.
