Keyword Stuffing

Key word stuffing is an SEO mistake that made by new comers. It is a practice of including keywords where ever possible. This may attract search engine and consider your article as more relevant one. But for stuffing key words the writer may sacrifice some of  the aesthetic value of the content. That means the article is more search engine oriented than human oriented. Google warns that this is a bad practice and you must avoid that. Then what is a possible well written essay? It may contain a reasonable number of key words. It should not contain any more keywords than it is required for a smooth reader understanding. But my opinion in this case is that you can include one keyword in the first sentence and in the last sentence if it is not appearing naturally.

Short or Long Contents?

A talk is going on about the content length. Some readers want deeper and detailed content while others want brief to the point writing. A study was made by popular blog writer and he find out that his readers like shorter and to the point bit of information. Now the question is whether search engines like these short bits of articles or term it as shallow articles and rank low in search results. The debate is going on and Google says its mantra once again, “write for the human readers and you will get good ranking” For time being my advice is to write minimum as possible. Express your mood in 100 – 200 words. If you want tell something in detail make that another post.

SEO Mistakes:Link Farms

One mistake that every new blogger may make is creating web pages with many outward links. The web pages or blog posts with several outward link stuffed in it is called a link farm. This is done purposefully or by mistake. In both cases the search engines especially Google treat them very severely. The outward links will be ignored or the page rank is reduced by search engines. So as a new blogger you must keep away from creating web pages with too many outward links or link farms. A correct proposition is very difficult to lay down. But one must include just enough outward hyperlinks that help the user or reader to understand the subject. By keeping the hyperlinks within a reasonable limit can help the web page link farm proof or good for search engines. In my opinion a blogger should limit as one hyperlink per blog.

Do you agree with my policy of hyper-linking? If yes or no please record your comments!

How to Write Good Blog Content Google Loves

Content Google Loves

Good web content must be Informative, entertaining, unique, personal, amusing, educational, authoritative, persuasive and, original. So don’t go for short cuts. Try to be original as far as possible. Original content only will survive in the end. Spend more time on creating your content. And spend less time in wasting time for copying content. Make your content more relevant to the subject. Write authoritatively about the subject. Quote your personal experiences and first hand efforts. Make sure the content is made for human readers. Never try to write content for search engines. Making content for search engines will fail soon. Brand your website with local information. Your personal information and local information should be stand out.

Duplicate Content

Duplicate content is one major issue that spoil search engine traffic to your site. So when you prepare the content for your personal blog let it be original and contain personal experience and information in it. Personal information and experience are two categories where you may not face much duplication. In my opinion the content you generate with an intension to attract your regional population or a selected range of audience should contain your personalized experience and details. For example a blog you write for Malayalam Readers can contain some Malayalam words and that will eliminate duplication issue to some extent. In a similar way a site for kids can contain their language rather than general terms and issues.
Any amount of content generated from your heart may be safe and that come from your brain may contain some duplication. So search for content and write from your heart. Do you approve my views? Please record your comments.
