If you search in google for “song download” you’ll find 122,000,000 website in search engine result page (SERP). But main thing is which one in first place. First place acquired website has done on page and off page seo.

1. Directory submission:
Its one of the most popular and most practiced way to submit website in directory and get a quality backlinks. I have talked in my previous post about a list of directory where you can submit your site. These web directory offer free links or paid links. If you have a good amount of money for directory Submission, you may choose high traffic directories. They start charging from $15 to $ 100 for a certain period. Search engine bots frequently visits well known directories. So there is a chance to get quality back links.
2. Article/ Blog submission:
This is very popular and appreciated technique. Suppose you have a site about “Football accessories”, you may write article your product related web site about your product, service, price etc. You can open a new section of your web site which is Blog section. You may write article daily, weekly or monthly write about your products , service etc. This will help your pages to be indexed soon and come up in SERP.

Digg, Stumbleupon, Technorati, Del.icio.us are very well known bookmarking sites. So you may try other dofollow bookmarking sites if you are looking for backings; link Spurl, Mister Wong, Backflip, Bibsonomy etc. Otherwise you should use previously mensioned bookmarking sites for traffic.

SEO Image Optimization | Quick SEO Tips for Blogger
- Include the keyword in your image name:
Example: Instead of "DSC5548.jpg ", Its better to name it as "seo-tips-for-blogger.jpg".
Never use characters/spaces in filenames as they will be encoded. Ex: – Instead of "DSC%25644cat.jpg" it’s better to name it "DSC-25644cat.jpg"
- Use the ALT tags:
ALT tags are recommended, though their usage is debated. Let’s put it this way. It may not give you a good push in the SERPS, but definitely, you don’t want to lose an opportunity.
Example:
- Use the "Title" attributes:
Title attributes are a great way to add meaningful information about the images. Use it. Example:- Title="White cat sitting on the wall." P.S – Don’t forget the image search traffic.
- Place the image within ample text:
So that, engines can crawl the text and make out what the image is about, if at all the ALT tags, filenames and TITLE attributes aren’t available.
- Do not use the same ALT tags for two or more images on the same page.
- Do not use the same TITLE attributes.
- If possible, place the image amidst the textual content.
- Name the folders with your keyword variants in place.
5 Tips for optimizing page titles for SEO | How to write a Best Page Title
We’ve been told several times that repeating keywords on the page title is not a good idea. But every other website I see (popular ones) do follow this method. What’s disappointing is that while Google suggests that this is bad karma, not all the time can they “catch” such acts.
Also, most of the time, when keywords are repeated on the title, there are all sorts of keyword spamming techniques that follow. Obviously, if the webmaster is taking the luxury of spamming his page title, then he must be following other methods too.
So, if you’ve been repeating keywords on your page title, then its most likely that you’ll lose your reputation with Google somewhere down the line, if not now. Most of the successful websites doing keyword title spamming, is either gone unnoticed or not within the Google radar, so don’t imitate them.
3. Does your Page Title answer the users question? Use it as a Call For Action.
You know, people tend to like websites that address their concerns. So, if someone is searching something on Google and assuming that your site appears on the first page, check if the page title is answering the users question. Merely matching the search term just isn’t enough to convince the user.
For example, if the Google search query is -
“What is Karate ?”
A perfect title would be something like –
“Learn Popular Martial Art Karate – Get Karate Gear,Videos etc”
Rather than something like –
“Karate Videos, Karate Gear, Karate Masters, Blah Blah”.
4. Make your Page Title different from others.
When writing page titles, keep in mind that there are ten other competitors thinking like you and doing the same thing as you to get their sites ranked. In order to “win the user” you have to be different. A simple solution is to check your keyword rankings on Google and find out what the top competition page titles are like. Then write effective and attractive copy within the 65 character limit.
5. Select and design your keywords after thoughtful keyword research.
If you select and design your keywords properly 65 characters is a lot of space, and spamming occurs when you are not sure about what keywords to target. So don’t just go about picking up every keyword variation possible from your keyword research tool. You just got 66 characters, make full use of it.

10 Link Building Tips For Blogger
- Submit your site to Web Directories: This is a pretty monotonous process that can get you several hundred backlinks if you have the time. An alternative would be to hire a manual directory submitter. Here’s a list of web directories you can use. You can also find some blog directories here.
- Submit Press Releases to PR sites: A basic press release about your website’s launch can be released to several PR websites, who will distribute it to various online news outlets. A good way to get a free link. I recommend using PRWeb and PRLeap
- Reciprocal Links with Similar Websites: Its important to pick sites that are of high relevance so you’ll not only get links but traffic. Reciprocal linking can be useful from the beginning but don’t overdo it. You can find link partners by emailing them directly or searching through webmaster forums.
- Article Submissions. Create a short article on your niche topic and submit it to article directories for a backlink and some traffic. You might get more links if your article is picked up and published on other websites. Here is a list of article directories, sorted by Alexa and PageRank.
- Social Media Profiles: There a whole bunch of social websites online which allow you to insert a link to your website on the profile page. Sign up for some of them, preferably using a username and avatar that brands your business or you as a person. This might come in useful when you decide to promote your site via the social website in the future.
- Social Bookmarking/Voting Websites: Certain social voting websites like Netscape or Digg are often crawled by search engines and their links do help to get a website indexed. 3spots has the biggest list of social voting and bookmarking websites I’ve seen so far.
- Forum Signatures: Sign up for some forums in your niche and start contributing to ongoing discussions. Insert a link to the homepage or some inner pages of your site.
- Create a Tool, Theme or Widget: Pay a designer to come up with an add-on application or template that is related to a specific social network, popular website or platform. Include a credit link that points back to your designated website.
- Blogs on Other Blog Platforms: Use existing blogs you have on other blog networks. Or set up different versions of your blog on different blog networks like Wordpress.com, Blogger and Xanga. Link to specific webpages on your website.
- Comment on Other Blogs: Start commenting on relevant and popular sites in your niche. Don’t just spam for links but focus on building a relationship with other bloggers as well. Write a relevant comment and try to avoid using keyword names or signature links.
Submit your Blog to Technorati
One way to drive traffic to your blog is to claim it in different Blog directories, one of the best is Technorati, they provide a pretty straight forward method to claim your Blogger.com blog. Once there they let you fill out your blog profile, including keywords, description and so on.
There is a side to this that most people don't understand. It's very hard sometimes for you to actually get into the top 10 SERPs on google.com and the major search engines, sometimes it takes months. But on most blog directories you can easily get into their top search results if you use the right keywords and descriptions, and since a lot of people visit these sites to find blogs they will eventually drive traffic towards you.
Also the profile page that it creates for your blog will get picked up pretty quickly by the major search engines, so this will also drive traffic towards your blog pretty quickly.
So try It
Blogger SEO Tips - Part - 3
Continued from my previous post | Part-1 | Part-2 |
Welcome to Blogger seo tips - Part 3
- Do not link to link-farms or other search engine frosty areas.
- Title tags for text links. Add the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images.
My site contains navigation menus on the left and right of the page. The menu consists of links not images. When you hover over the link with your mouse, the title of the link emerges. View the source of this page to see how to add this tag to your links. - Do not use entrance pages. Entrance pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which enclose content which is related to the search.
- Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.
- Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned.
Here is the submission page for Google AddURL
Submit only once. There is no need to submit every two weeks. There is no need to submit more than one page. Robots follow links. If your site has a nice link trail, your entire site will get indexed.
Google Analytics Tutorial | Adding Analytics to Blogger

- 1. Scroll down all the way to the bottom until you find the tag. Paste the JavaScript code just before the body tag.
- Wait a couple of hours, then log back into the Google Analytics website and click on "Check Status" button. If it says that it can't find the code just try again latter, sometimes it takes a while.
- Now every things has Done !!!!!!
Blogger SEO Tips - Part-2
Welcome to Blogger seo part - 2
- Introduce keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will recognize what your page is about. The title tag is positioned right at the top of your article within the head tags. Introducing a keyword or key phrase will greatly develop your chances of fetching targeted traffic to your site.
Confirm that the title tag includes text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Care for it like a headline. - Use the similar keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is particularly useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.
- Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page.
Adding the exact same text for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link and have arrived at the page where they planned to visit. Robots like this too because now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline.
Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red. A good place to do this is once or twice in the body at the top of your article and in the sub-headings. - Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this occurs, your pages might not get indexed.
I always use the headline of my pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what my page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text. - Do not spam the description or keyword Meta tag by stuffing pointless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

Blog Directories to Submit Your Blog To | Increase page visitor
Another way to help people find your Blog besides Organic Search and SEO is to submit your blog to Blog Directories. There are tons of them out there. Some are paid, some are free, here is a top 20 list:
1. Best of the Web Blog Search La Crem de la Crem, Best of the Web’s Blog Directory is very selective and only lists aged and valuable blogs. A link from here is majestic and well deserved.
2. EatonWeb Blog Directory is a real jewel with many aged inbound links and a blog rating system. You may have to pay a fee for your blog to be reviewed, but like Yahoo, the review fee is well worth the few dollars.
3. Blog Hub offers a drop down category and member blog list. With its “new blogger” list and hot topics, Blog Hub is a great directory to list your site.
4. Upon visiting Bloggernity, you find a crisp, clean, and easy to navigate site. Scrolling down, you find the new blogs. As there is little advertising on the home page, it is pleasant to the eye of the reader as well.
5. Blogarama has an impressive listing of over 65,000 blogs. The site is well designed and follows the same content categories as many other sites.
6. One of the most selective Blog Directories on the web (and Wordpress powered), Blog Search Engine is owned by Performancing’s parent company and serves search results powered by IceRocket.
7. Blog Catalog features a vast directory of categories, from academic to writing, while offering the ability to search by country, language, or user. It has a no frills design, but offers convenient member access through simple blog registration.
8. Globe of Blogs has too many features to list. In order to be listed on the site, the blog must not be commercial. The site may appear to be busy, but I like the features of being able to search by title, author, or subject. Narrowing the search becomes easier on this blog.
9. The ultimate directory of British blogs connotes all things British. It is not directed by location, but by the culture! It is asked that bloggers be genuinely “britished.” Being listed in this blog reaches readers all the way across the pond!
10. Blog Universe is the perfect place to promote your video or podcast themed blog. Its layout is easy to navigate. Although the content is limited, it is an all around good directory site worthy of submission.
11. Bigger Blogs is a relatively new blog directory with only a few blogs registered. The blog is intertwined with a business directory. The blog section is difficult to find, and it is located through a link on the right side of the business directory page. However, the benefit is that the earlier you are accepted on a blog directory, the more exposure your blog will obtain. In addition, a back link is indeed a back link, so this can help with your search engine placement.
12. Bloggeries has the best categories and subcategories home page on the internet. The layout is clear and concise, and readers are able to find what they are looking for in a snap!
13. Bloggapedia has an interesting and eye catching homepage. Readers are easily connected to the top blogs and newest posts. Innovative categories and a colorful design make this blog directory a hit.
14. Spillbean is a well-designed blog directory site with categories such as health, society, internet, and personal. The site is aesthetically pleasing, but there are not many listings yet.
15. Blogging Fusion is a blog with over sixty categories. These categories include photo blogs and family focused blogs. Blogging Fusion has an good amount of blog listings within the directory, and it also has visitor stats available.
16. Blogflux is not only a tool for bloggers, but a directory that has the listings in alphabetic order. The blog listings are organized and clear. It is definitely an effective blog directory in which to be listed.
17. The blogs on the top listings of Bloglisting are fun, colourful, and catch the attention of the reader. Bloglisting displays the page ranking blogs, which is a helpful tool when determining with whom you want to exchange links.
18. Blogio may be a small blog directory with few listings, but it worthy of a submission. Despite its small size, there are quality blogs and a solid ability to search on this site.
19. Blog Explosion claims to be the largest blog promoter on the internet. They have a vast directory but do not seem to have direct links. However, the listing in the directory can still show up in SERP’s, so keep this in mind.
20. Super Blog Directory is a great site that offers tools to posters that others do not. You can see the latest submitted links and blogs on the site, which is a perk that draws traffic into the directory.
