5 Tips - How to Get Your Blog on the First Page of Google

How about 5 easy tips about how to get your blog on the first page of Google? Yeah, I see you are shaking your head and smiling. I think you are understand that if your blog will get on the first page of Google - you will get much more traffic to your blog, because bigger part of Google users use only first page of Google search results. That's why it is so important to get on the first page of search results. Believe me or not, but this method is working. For example, I have a collective social blog (or community) where everyone can make their own posts, share articles, tips, reviews and knowledge - Mocii.com, most of the posts are about Tech/Gadgets, reviews, how to's. It is also useful because you can submit an unique article there and put backlinks to your blog or posts from your blog (link will be without nofollow tag). So, all my posts on Mocii.com are on the first page of Google search results (most of them in Top 5, some of them on the first position!)

5 Tips - How to Get Your Blog on the First Page of Google:

1. Submit posts with unique content. Your blog content must be unique, content is a king! Do not steal content from other blogs, Google will see everything! If you really like someone's post, you can re-wright it. Your content must be 99% unique. Don't wright every hour, it is too much. Submit 1-3 posts / day and keep this tempo.
2. After you will create 10 posts on your blog, you must add your blog sitemap (rss) to Google Sitemap. If you have Blogger blog - use your RSS, if you are using, for example, Wordpress - create sitemap with Google Sitemap Generator or create your own sitemap. After adding - Google will crawl your sitemap everyday and he will know about all your new posts. Remember, Google will love you if you will have blog with good, quality and unique content.
3. Add your blog and RSS to blogs and RSS catalogs and readers. Use Google to find them. This will give you lot of free backlinks and traffic.
4. Submit some unique articles to article directories. Don't forget to put backlinks with anchors to your blog and to some of your posts. Articles must have the same subjects as your blog or post. Do not submit too often.
5. Put your backlink everywhere where its possible. Put your link to
DMOZ, make answers on Yahoo! Answers (use backlinks in your answers), make comments on different blogs, and submit your articles to social bookmarks.

Cheers

Swap Blog Title and Post Title on Blogger

Your template is invalid because the tag 'b:section' appears inside of the tag 'head'. This error appears because of Swap of your blog title and post title on Blogger hack. I think there was some changes on Blogger. To fix that error, you need to do the same hack: Swap of your blog title and post title, but with some changes.

Just follow the steps:

1. Go to dashboard ==> 'Layout'==> 'Edit HTML' and backup your template.

2. Find this line: <title><data:blog.pageTitle/><title> and delete it.

3. Find <head> code and put this code BEFORE <head> :

<!-- newtitle -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:section id='titleTag'>
<b:widget id='Blog2' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'>
<b:includable id='nextprev'/>
<b:includable id='backlinks' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='post' var='post'><data:post.title/></b:includable>
<b:includable id='commentDeleteIcon' var='comment'/>
<b:includable id='status-message'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinks'/>
<b:includable id='backlinkDeleteIcon' var='backlink'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'/>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='comments' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'><title><b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:loop> | <data:blog.title/></title></b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>
<!-- end newtitle -->

4. Save your changes.

PS: 

I'm not recommending you to do this hack, because, usually, Title code must be after <head>. So I don't know what kind of effect it will give to you. I think it is better do use simple basic <title><data:blog.pageTitle/><title>  code.

Yahoo Buzz - review

Yahoo! Buzz is opened already (few days ago) , but in beta... and just for 100 chosen sites... and my blog is not there *crying*. So, What is Yahoo! Buzz? Lets do short review.

   

Yahoo! Buzz is something like Digg. It is social bookmarking site, where you can put a short review of your (or someone else) content (post, article, news, video). Content is ranked based on votes, if you have good post - you will get alot of traffic, backlinks...

What is the different between Yahoo! Buzz and Digg?

Well, Digg content rank is  based on votes, rate of submitter, quantity of friends =). Yahoo! Buzz content rank is based on votes, search-term popularity, and what everyone is reading and emailing - right this instant.

Digg drives traffic directly to your site to read the full story, the same Yahoo! Buzz do.

People can rate your content on your site or on Digg, well, Buzz do the same.

The most popular content from Digg appears on the main page, the most popular content from Yahoo! Buzz appears on the Yahoo! HOMEPAGE!!!

The most interesting question is - How many traffic you can get from popular story, which will appears on the Yahoo! homepage? Hm... How about 1 000 000 unique visitors within 1 hour!!! After such avalanche of traffic your web server will be on fire =) But someone told me that they will rotate top stories and monitor the traffic they send, otherwise small sites will be burned alive =)

I'm overexcited and waiting for end of Beta. By the way, do you know, What is the best time for submitting stories and news on Digg? =)
