Tip 1: Blog Commenting

Most of you will know that blog commenting is the best method for link building to a blog but do you know how blog commenting works. This is highly recommended to add blog commenting in your blogging schedule. Leave at least 10 comments daily on high ranked blogs same with your niche. It will not only help you in link building but also help you to increase blog traffic. Most of bloggers will know the benefits of blog commenting but they don’t know how to take proper benefits of their time they spend on commenting on other blogs. Commenting on those blogs where you get nofollow link is a waste of time. Work on those blogs where you can get dofollow backlink for your blog.

Use search engines to find CommentLuv and KeywordLuv enabled blogs and leave valuable comments on those blogs on daily basis. When you comment on those blogs then below every comment your recent posted post will be shown with title as anchor text. And even you can also use your keyword in the name field like this Ankit@Blogger Tips Tricks. That means you can get two backlinks from single comment. It will help you to generate high quality dofollow backlinks and your Page Rank will increase.

Find CommuntLuv and KeywordLuv Enabled Blogs

This is really a simple job to find those blogs which have installed Communtluv and KeywordLuv commenting system in it. Simply go with your favorite search engine and type the below query.

1) your keyword “CommentLuv”
2) your keyword “KeywordLuv”

It means if I need to find blogs with blogging niche then I will search query like blogging “CommentLuv”.

Once you enter these types of search terms you will get the list of CommentLuv and KeywordLuv enabled blogs. Use them to increase your blog backlinks. Spend at least 20-30 minutes daily to read those blog’s articles and leave valuable comment there. Don’t put short comments like nice article, good article and all. Blog owner will not accept these types of comments and your efforts will be waste.

Tip 2: Use Forums

Participating in webmaster forums can help you to increase your blog readership. Readers will let to know about your blog and hence new visitors land to read your content. Denote some time from your schedule to use forums for link building. Answer the questions there under your perfection of field and use signature as a link back to your site. You can use below forums.

Digital Point Forum

This forum is especially for webmasters and SEO niche. You can ask your questions there as well can reply to those questions asked by others. Try to reply with best answer. Once your answers got liked by 3 established users then you will also become an established user. Then you can use signature below every answer which you give. Use link pointing back to your blog in signature column. Visit Digital Point Forum.

Yahoo Answers

“Yahoo Answers” is the best place to increase your blog traffic fast. There are millions of visitors on this question answer website. You should join this site for your own benefits. Spend some time to reply other’s questions. There are 10 levels and when the number of your answers will increase these levels will also increase.

If you want an active link then you have to reach on second level. Second level means 250 points. 2 points for each answer and 10 points for the best answer if voted by the person who asks the question. Do answering on regular basis, it will bring new visitors to your blog and if they subscribe your feedburner feed then they will become your blog readers. Visit Yahoo Answers.

Tip 3: Guest Blogging

Write your best and unique articles for other’s blog. Yes, you heard right. Write for others and in return you will be awarded with a very powerful dofollow and targeted backlink with anchor text of your choice. Find blogs under the same niche which you have and contact their owners using contact us form in their blog to submit guest post. If they agree to publish your post on their blog then submit your post and include one or two link between content or in the Author’s Bio section with your main keyword as anchor text. Guest Posting is beneficial for both the parties. Blog owners receive free and high quality articles for the blog and in return you receive high quality backlink for your blog.

Note: Don’t always build backlinks for your blog homepage. Try to build backlinks for internal pages also like category pages or any related post. For more SEO benefits you can also link to your sitemap page. By sitemap page, I mean the page which contains links to all published posts into your blog. You can visit my blog sitemap page for better understanding named as Blogger Tips And Tricks. By linking to that page means killing two birds with single stone. First is it will help Google Bots to crawl and index all of your posts and second is visitors will have to click to the links to read the article hence more page views.

Tip 4: Internal Linking of Posts

Internal links and External Links both plays an important role in SEO. Internal links also count as quality backlinks. Google loves those blogs which works on internal linking strategy. Let me tell you how internal linking works. Whenever you right new post, try to link your previous posts or popular posts with proper anchor text. It has multiple benefits like:

1. Build Backlinks for all posts.
2. Search engine crawlers will let to know about your blog content in deep. All the posts will get indexed fast. Hence better crawl rate.

What is blogger and how you can create a blogger blog?

 

What is Blogger?

 

According to the Computer Desktop Encyclopedia, Blogger is:
"A Web site launched in 1999 from Pyra Labs, San Francisco, CA (www.blogger.com) that provides the tools for creating blogs (Weblogs). After users select a pre-designed template or create one with their look and feel, every posting entered on Blogger is published to the Blogger page on their Web site automatically. In early 2003, Blogger was acquired by Google. "


So, in simple terms, Blogger is a free site where you can make blogs (a kind of sites) where you can write about everything you want - from personal life to discussing about your political views, or relating your experience in a topic of interest.

How to create a blogger blog?

Go to Blogger.com homepage and click on the "Get Started" button

Enter your Gmail acount details (your gmail address and pasword) and then press "Sign in"

Enter the name you want to appear on your blog - check the "Agree to Terms and Conditions"
Click on the "New Blog" button

Enter your blog title and the address of your new blog, choose a template (Simple Template is more easily to customize, so i recommend you to choose this one) then click on "Create Blog!"

Now that your blog has been created, you can start blogging. That's all :)

Hide/Show Widgets/Gadgets in Home/post/static/archive pages in Blogger

As some of you may have noticed, all the widgets/gadgets you add to your blog, will be displayed on all the pages by default, including the homepage as well. And I'm sure very few know that AdSense could disable your account in case you've put ad units inside the content of your contact or privacy policy pages. Therefore, hiding certain elements inside your blog pages is not only a matter of design, but it is also a requirement.

To hide (or show) widgets in particular posts, static pages, homepage or archive pages, you can use conditional tags.

Step 1. Go to Blogger's Dashboard > Layout and name the HTML/Javascript gadgets that you have already added. Doing this, it will be easier for you to identify the widgets that you have in your Blogger's template. Give it a unique title so that it does not match with any of the titles of any other widgets already added.

Step 2. Next thing to do is to go to Template and click on Edit HTML

Step 3. Select the "Expand Widget Templates" checkbox.

Step 4. Find the widget's title in the HTML by using Ctrl+F and entering the widget's name in the search box.
Let's say that the title for one of my widgets is "Recent Posts". After searching for the widget's name, I will find a similar code in my template:

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>  

This code represents the widget/gadget that I have added in the Page Elements location (Layout).

Step 5. After you've found your widget's code, add the following conditional tags marked with red just below and above to hide the widget from specific pages or posts in Blogger. For instance, in case you want:

To show the widget only in Homepage:

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show Blogger widget only in post pages 

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

To show the widget in a specific page
 

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "URL of the page"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Note: Replace URL of the page with the address of the page in which you want the widget to appear

To hide a widget only in a particular page

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != "URL of the page"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget> 

To show widgets only in static pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget> 

To hide widgets in Static Pages

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget> 

To show widgets only in Archive Pages

 <b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Recent Posts' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>
<data:content/>
</div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget> 

Step 6. After you have added the conditional tags, Save Template and view your blog.

That's it!

Increase Traffic To Your Blog Using Unverified Subscribers

Email subscribers are those readers who love our blog and its content. They subscribe it to get updates via email in their inbox. If there is any traffic down from search engines, then these subscribers helps us to maintain our blog traffic. As being a blogger we do everything to increase our feed subscribers count because we all know its worth. These subscribers are really helpful to build a strong readership around our blog. But sometime bloggers fail to gain traffic from their blog feed. That’s why today I am going to share a trick that will help you to increase your blog traffic from Feedburner. So, let see the complete process.

How to Increase Blog Traffic Using Feedburner?

When a user subscribes our blog feed to get updates, we get traffic from them whenever we publish new article in our blog.
But if you check your feedburner subscriber’s subscription status, then you will come to know that there are lot of unverified users who don’t have confirmed their subscription because of their laziness or ignorant behavior.
They are just one step far to be our active subscribers. We can increase our blog traffic if we notify those unverified subscribers to be an active user.
Follow below steps to make them active.

1. Open your Google Feedburner Account.
2. Click on your Feed Title.

3. Go to Publicize and click on Subscription Management under Email Subscriptions.

4. Scroll to bottom and click on View Subscriber Details link.

5. Once you click, you will be able to see subscriber details like their Email Address, Subscription Start Date and Subscription Status. Click on Export: CSV link to download this Subscribers Details file.

6. Open the downloaded file and make a list of those subscribers whose verification is pending.

7. Now you have to send an Email to remind them that they have not confirmed their subscription yet. If you are using any Email Marketing Service like Aweber, MailChimp etc then you can do it easily. Otherwise use your Webmail Account if you don’t want to send email from your personal email address.
8. That’s it.

Now wait for their response. Hopefully you will get more active subscribers those will help to promote your articles around the web.
