Murshidism Page Rank Improved!

Hehe, quite surprised that Google revised my Page Rank "0" to Page Rank "1" recently. When I login to PayPerPost, a few opps are available already to take but I will wait until my PR improved up to 5 or 6 and I will maintain it as long as I can. Taking paid post will ruin down your PR.

As for Alexa ranking, Murshidism rank at 10,000,000th website in July 08 and now it is proudly rank at 3501365th in the world wide web. I think it is an improvement there...and still need more work and time to improve..maybe by March it will be under 1,000,000th most famous website in the world.

7 Tips on How to Increase Your Blog Traffic

Do you have a blog that you feel need some reader or need some popularity? If so your blog is suffering from a lack of blog traffic, this is a few tips from my blogging experience thus far. Noted that I just been blogging for about less than 3 months and at first I was so crazy about making money through blogging by taking paid posting etc but this kind of paid posting will smack you page ranking. Oppss...off topic a little bit :)

So here's my 7 tips to increase blog traffic

1. Publicize your link: Give your link to your friends! Join relevant blogging groups such as Socialspark, etc. If you belong to any forums, you should provide a link to your blog, maybe even include one in your signature so it is easily visible.

2. Comment on other people's blogs: Make relevant comments to avoid being hated by other fellow bloggers. Commenting allows you to become better known in the blogging community. You do not need to provide your link in the comment as your profile (for example blogger) automatically contains your link which helps increase your blog page rank (and if it isn't automatic like blogger, it should ask for your homepage anyways). Additionally, most bloggers like myself read all of their comments and may visit your blog to get some background on who you are.

3. Communicate with your reader by setting up message box: You can get message box widget from Shoutbox etc for free and it easily to leave an instant message at your blog.

4. Link Referral: I have recently used Link Referral and have gotten tons of traffic as a result. After becoming a member of link referral your blog gets ranked. The higher your blog is ranked, the more likely other people are to visit your blog. You increase your blog ranking by visiting other blogs, writing blog reviews, labeling favorite blogs, and by forum posts.



5.Blogexplosion: I have never used a traffic exchange program with more success. I have used Blog Explosion for a one month and it is currently my largest source of blog traffic. It is very easy to do. Registration is free and you get credits based on other blogs you visit. Those credits are used to guarantee traffic in return.



6. Traffic Swarm. This is another traffic exchange program but I ranked it the lowest among other program that I tried such as Link Referral and Blog Explosion. The method is similar to Link Referral and Blog Explosion but the result is quite slow. It will take some time for traffic to come.

7. Entrecard. You have probably noticed an Entrecard widget on my sidebar (Top upper left). Not only do I think the Entrecard adds some jive to any blog, but Entrecard is an excellent way to increase your traffic. All members of Entrecard get placed in a directory so it is easily located by other members. Entrecard also allows you to advertise on other blogs.

How To Use Google Image To Increase Blog Traffic

By following these steps, not only will you bring traffic to your blog but you will improve your Google search rank.

1. Go to Google Image

2. Type in a subject related to your blog post. For instance, for you're blogging about Sarah Palin, type in Sarah Palin

3. Pick a picture featuring Sarah Palin (or whatever subject you decide).

4. Click on the image and then select see full-size image. It's in blue at the top of the page.

5. When the image is the ONLY thing on the screen, copy the url in the address bar. The image must take up the screen like this for this step to work.

6. At some point in your blog post, link to that image using the url you copied.

When someone searches for Sarah Palin using Google Image search, your blog will be listed as one of the sites using the image you chose.

Even though another blog or website is listed below the picture, if you have linked to the image, you will receive traffic. Look at this example when you type in murshidism at Google Image.

Linking through Google Image works best when the image and subject of your blog are in sync. For example, if the image is of Bill Gates, you'll get a longer stay at your blog if you're also writing about him.

Everybody wants blog traffic. You. Me. Them. To increase your blog traffic, you must use many methods. Google Image is one tool that can help you achieve your goals.

What is SEO

Aren’t search engines like Google a miracle? You type in a couple of words – however strange they may be – and within fractions of a second your computer lists hundreds, if not thousands or even millions, of web sites that all promise to provide what you are looking for. This is truly amazing.

But there is also a downside to the story. If you are not at the top of those search engine results (and most importantly, on Google), you are basically invisible, at least on the Internet. Whatever you have to say, few people will find it. Unless, of course, they already know where to look for it. But we cannot assume that existing or potential customers know all about us or will find the specific information they need.

How can you help? By making sure that your content on the web is as ‘searchable’ as possible. So that people can find it among the billions of pages that are out there.

This is where Search Engine Optimization, or “SEO” for short, comes to the rescue. By optimizing your content for search engines, you can help people find the content they enter in the search field and, at the same time, raise your rankings. SEO is a long-term process, but it begins with a simple question: What are our visitors looking for and what words are they using in their searches?

This is the question you need to answer when you create content for the web. By using these terms, or keywords, in your headers and topic sentences, you will make it easier for search engines to pick them up.

After all, the Internet is all about seeing and being seen. And there is no point in being invisible, right?
