How to get a High Alexa Rank

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; Wordpress; seo.

In the last time some bloggers ask me how I get a great Alexa Traffic Rank of 94,350. Now I have decided to share my tips with all bloggers and try to help everyone to get a high Alexa Rank.

The Alexa Traffic Rank is calculated by the Visitors from every Country of the world (Traffic Rank of different countries). That means you dont need hundreds or thousand visitors only from the usa, because than you dont get a high Alexa Rank. Its important to get visitors from many countries.

How to get Visitors from other countries?

At the first I have used BlogCatalog.com, because there are many bloggers from all over the world. Than you can take a look at the Blog Directory at Blogcatalog.com and than you can browse blogs by Country, Language, or User. Choose country. Here you can choose blogs from different countries and try to write the blog owners if they want a link exchange or banner exchange. That was my way to get some visitors from countries like Germany, UK, Australia, India.

If you get visitors from countries like these, you get really fast a high Alexa Rank in these Countries. For example I have a Alexa Rank of 20,290 in Germany and I get only 5-10 visitors daily from Germany. And when you have some visitors from many countries you get really fast a higher Alexa Traffic Rank.

I hope I could help some bloggers. If you dont understand something, feel free to write me a message on my Contact Form.

How to get SEO Friendly Images

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; Wordpress; seo.

SEO Friendly Images is a Wordpress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.

ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.

TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.

Download
Installation & Usage
  1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  2. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
  3. Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options.
  4. You are done, SEO Image does everything else

SEO Friendly Images options recognize two tags %title (post title) and %name (filename of the picture). By combining these two tags and additional words (photo, picture etc..) you can create relevant alt and title tags automatically for all images.

There is one additional option called ‘Override default Wordpress alt’. If you uploaded pictures to your blog posts already and haven’t specified a description Wordpress would automatically add a default alt tag in form of image.jpg. Since SEO Friendly Images replaces only empty or non-existing alt tags, this would be left intact unless this option is turned on.

In my opinion this is a very useful plugin to get some extra traffic from Googles Image search engine.

New Toolbar Pagerank Update is Coming

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; seo.

Matt Cutts from mattcutts.com has written that the new Pagerank update is coming in the next days.

Matt Cutts works for the quality group in Google, specializing in search engine optimization issues. He is well known in the SEO community for enforcing the Google Webmaster Guidelines and cracking down on link spam. Cutts also advised the public on how to get better website visibility in Google.

The last PageRank update, some month ago was the first for this blog and I get a great PageRank of 3. I think that a PageRank of 3 is good for the first update and I really hope that I get a PageRank of 4 at the next update.

Here I have written that I´m really happy to get the PageRank 3.

Here is the description of the Google Toolbar’s PageRank if you dont know what the PageRank is:

The Google Toolbar’s PageRank feature displays a visited page’s PageRank as a whole number between 0 and 10. The most popular websites have a PageRank of 10. The least have a PageRank of 0. Google has not disclosed the precise method for determining a Toolbar PageRank value. Google representative Matt Cutts has publicly indicated that the Toolbar PageRank values are republished about once every three months, indicating that the Toolbar PageRank values are historical rather than real-time values.

Website top of google within 24 hours

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; Wordpress; seo.

Following on from thursday’s post about setting up the SEO for the latest project, im happy to say the Googlebot crawled the site 24 hours after the website went live.

The two main keywords for the Uphair website went straight to the top with a 1st position on one keyword and 14th position on the site’s other initial keyword, a fantastic result after just one day and proof that flash websites can be included on the Google index and compete with more traditional websites with their rich html content.

How did i get it to number 1 on google after 24 hours?

People pay SEO master’s big money to get in this position, here are the 4 main tactics i have emplemented on this website since it went live on Thursday. How i made it to number one in Google within 24 hours:

  • META tags – Because the website was built mostly using flash, its title, description & keyword tags had to play a large role with Google to describe the site. Sticking to relevant keywords with a well written description was key, certain keywords appeared in all 3 of the tags having a good effect on the Google search result position.
  • Quality backlinks – Contacting product suppliers and exchanging website links gained the site 2 known high-quality backlinks as well as half a dozen other backlinks skyrocketing the site straight to the top of Google’s search results. Remember to be careful not to link to poor quality sites which may actually lower your search ratings.
  • Brand your own keywords - There is no point trying to compete with the big boys on certain popular keywords. Do your research on your own unique keywords (with low competition) and advertise your website using those keywords, create enough of an impact and people will soon know exactly how to find you on google. Keep these very relevant to your site.
  • StumbleUpon – After submit’ing a site to StumbleUpon the service sends 15 users to your site immediately, giving them a rough initial rating. If the 15 all vote it thumbs up then your site jumps in perceived quality to the community. Of course if those 15 people all vote thumbs down then your rating on StumbleUpon may suffer. Some people may say StumbleUpon has nothing to do with your sites Google ranking however within 10 minutes from when the initial 15 StumbleUpon users visited my project site the Googlebot crawled the site and listed in under the index, clearly not a coincidence.

Well now it is just a case of optimizing certain other main keywords and the website should obtain higher rankings under these search terms, claiming its piece of the Google pie by receiving users searching these keywords.

I hope these tips help with your own sites SEO. Number 1 (and the equally importantly first page) on the Google search results is achievable for webmaster’s if they follow the right approach, even on a flash built site with almost no html in under 24 hours it can happen. On a wordpress blog with rich content getting to the top should be a sinch!

Make Money Online with Drop12

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Make Money Online; Net News; Paid Reviews; Reviews.

With Drop12 you make $0.01 per viewed website. To get payed you need to earn at least $9. Than you get the money with Paypal. Or you can use the money to advertise on Drop12. To advertise you need to have earned at least $19. Its like entrecard, watch blogs, earn money or credits, advertise. But with drop12 you can not only advertise, you can payout real money.

How does it work?
You view websites in a few seconds via the “Surf Ads” page. Once the few seconds is up, you’ll either get a green tick sign or a red ‘X’. The green tick sign means you’ve earned money for the visit and the ‘X’ means you have not earned money for the visit. You’ll get red X’s when you have more than one website from the “Surf Ads” page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit or referrals that you obtain for premium members. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless.

I think thats sounds great, but to make really much money with drop12, many advertiser are required.

Your payment will be processed and issued via Paypal within 22 business days or less. Premium Members get paid within 7 days.

To upgrade your account to a Premium Member, register, login and click on “upgrade your account”.

Wordpress 2.6 Released

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; Wordpress.

New User Features

  • Version/revision saves a copy of a post every time you edit it, allows you to view (not edit) each of those copies (revisions), Shows forward (in time) diffs between any two revisions.
  • Display captions of images alongside them in posts and pages.
  • Add paging of Themes in Design panel
  • Word Count displayed when writing and editing posts and pages
  • Press This bookmarklet
  • Add sorting to gallery
  • Export/import post excerpts
  • Theme Previewer
  • Check (assigned) Categories at top Category box in Write/Manage Post
  • Show when a term is both a tag and a category
  • Wider Profile fields
  • TinyMCE 3.1
  • Two categories can have sub-categories with the same name

I really like the new Theme preview. Now when you select a theme it pops up a window that shows the theme live with all your content, instead of immediately making it active on your site. This is great for just test driving themes before making a switch over publicly, and it is also helpful when you are developing a theme and need to test it but don’t want everybody to see your ongoing development.

I have read on other blogs, thats its very important to update the newest version of Wordpress, because Hackers have more chance to attack a blog without an update.

My Top 5 Ways To Generate Low Cost Website Traffic

Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: Ad News; General; Net News; Reviews; Wordpress; seo.

There is one hard and fast rule in generating income for your website: A steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it hardly bares a chance of generating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and these results to the sites demise. It takes money to maintain an income generating site; it also takes money to make money.

No Visitors = No Money

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to generate website traffic for your site.

Ever wonder how does big hit sites drive traffic top their site? Most of them are spending tons of money to drive the traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and different forms of marketing schemes and gimmickries. This is all worthwhile because, well, they are what they are now, high earning, big hitting websites.

You don’t have to do this if you don’t really have their resources. There are many ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I present to you the Top five ways to generate low cost website traffic that could help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works especially if you get a high number of website traffic.

Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the providing of service and information to what interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.

Traffic Exchange

This is like exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn credits when someone views yours.

Traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.

Write and Submit Articles

There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias in the internet which provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the subject or niche your site has.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide a light, information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.

Make a Newsletter.

This may sound like hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free articles as long as they can get their name in on your newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them as well.

As your newsletter gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your site.

Join Online Communities and Forums

This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.

Here are some Forums I use to get a little bit of traffic:
