In this modules am about to start, I will reveal some behind the scenes of getting your blog’s page rank increase.

What is page rank?

A very good question that all bloggers should know, but unfortunately some bloggers don’t have any idea on what a page rank is. I often tell people that it is not their fault; I mean for those who doesn’t know what page rank is… all because they started blogging in a wrong niche.

This is one of the questions I answered almost every this week, and even some pro bloggers search Google to get the right answer. Now what is page rank? In a simple and explanatory way, Page Rank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page and used by the Google web search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyper linked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set.

I believe you are not confused with this definition? I’ve decide to list the expected date, when will Google update page rank. These are expected date NOT confirmed. When is the next Google page rank update? This is the aspect everybody wants to read. This is the time when your work is exposed to the world, if you have been commenting on people’s blog to get backlink, publishing high quality contents and other behind the scenes of blogging for better page rank which I will be discussing in subsequent time.

Basically, Google page rank is based on blog backlinks, and how much authority your blog have. High Google page rank often boost all areas of blog; be it marketing, making money, etc. and most especially our site reputation.

Google page rank happens every 3-4 months in a year, which means the last one was suppose to be in July, but Google had their update last February. Below is the schedule of the next Google page rank for 2013.

 1st Update : May be on January 28 to February 6(Confirmed)
 2nd Update : May be on September 29 to 4 October
 3rd Update : May be on 24 December to 29 December

Note: these are the expected dates of the next page rank update, though not confirmed yet but expected. However, peradventure if the next page rank update is September ending, then are you fully prepared? Are your blogs ready to stand the test of time? Set up your mind.

Someone just asked me a very important question.

Should we rely on Google page rank?

Though at first I found it very had to answer this question but later I thought I should bring this to allbloggingcoach readers, because I know you should have better answers to give. Though I’ve seen blogs with page rank of 2 getting more traffic than those with PR5. Is page rank all about traffic or what?

I’ll really appreciate it if everyone reading this post should contribute via our comment box, and let see your own view about” should we rely much on page rank? And is page rank all about traffic generation?” thanks for your patience.

5 Strategic ways to lead the line of Competition As a Blogger

Most of what we hear about hard work and dedication is that it’s the soul of blogging. Fine that’s very true because they are very importance. However, many pro- bloggers have emphasized on hard work as a key to success in blogging. But I am now telling you that only hard work cannot push you forward as a person who aspires success and achievement in blogging industry.

You need to sit down first and consult and see if you’ll be able to achieve your goal with the resources at your disposal. You must plan, need to develop the ability to master details, and ability to learn new ideas and strategies. One thing about being a blogger is that you’ll never make much progress in blogosphere if you do not have mastery of details. We all know as a blogger that you need to have some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and j Query.

Even if not in complex modules, but the fundamental aspect of it. Another thing to consider is; if in the past weeks, you never have the records of how you’ve promoted your blog, the number of post and the feed backs you got on each of your published posts, then it may be part of the reasons you are not getting enough traffic and clicks which is supposed to add to your revenue.

You need to have a plan. It’s not just enough to say that, “Next month or next time, I’ll achieve more” the big question is, how? You must sit down and crack out the strategy.

SPECIFICS OF PLANNING

What do you want?

Step 1: Decide on what you want. The starting point for planning is decision. And the fact that you chose to be a blogger, ….that is the starting point. Then decide exactly what is it you want to achieve in that week or the month. It may be additional 1000 persons to visit your blog, or probably to make extra 500 people to subscribe to your blog. Whatever it is, decide on a definite goal.

Set a target

Step 2. Everything has a deadline; like I said earlier, nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific. And as long as you are not stable on what you want from blogging, you will not get there. So make up your mind and give it a dead line.

Materialize on paper

Step 3. Make your goal seen on a sheet. Every week or day, you need to have goals written down and the result is visible. Have goals that this week, I want to write 20 posts, and possibly you should have gotten the post title ready; just make sure at your leisure, find materials and get things down.

Without goals, success is impossible. You need to know that this is applicable to all facet of life, not only blogging/ bloggers thereabout.

Planning ahead of Time

Step 4. You need to develop a detailed plan for the achievement of your goals. What I’m saying in essence; fix a time maybe midnight like am doing right now, afternoon or morning time, to plan and write out those title.

I mean a convenient time at which you can write on the post titles you have with you. Though you may not hit them dead on target always, but sometimes you achieve even more than you have written down, and at other times you achieve a little less.

But the truth is that once you have a detailed plan ahead of time, there is a force that propels you towards your set goals.

You need to pay a price

Step 5. Decide the services and product you will give in exchange for what you want. And this is where your hard work comes in. For every target in life, there is a price to pay. Some times in academic targets, it requires time and hard work.

In some, it might even be money that could be the price you have to pay for doing such a thing. But the fact still remain that, for you to get to the top as a blogger, you need many things like patience, persistency, time, hard work etc.

Learn How to Write a SEO Friendly Contents

Search Engine optimization has been the words of the time in recent time, and to me SEO is what I called the behind the scene in blogging. Though it may look a bit confusing and complicated to the new bloggers who are just taking career in blogging.

However, for you to write a SEO friendly post, you need some rudiments.

Guess you are wondering that which rudiments is this again? Yeah! I actually called them rudiments, because they are the strategies you need to write SEO friendly posts and start rocking the search engines. And I believe you are set for the journey we are about to embark.

Now what are the important rudiments you need to write a SEO friendly post?

Keyword Research

It has become a must for you to research you topic before you write them. Competition in blogosphere now is not smiling, and for you to get to your dream land you need to make your contents optimize.

The first thing you need to research is that which keyword is really going viral on the web i.e. that most people search for in your niche. Well, for you not to be racking your brain on how to get a keyword for your post, then Keyword research tool is the tool to use.

With this your post will be able to rank high in search engine query. So in case you write a post on make money tips, there “how to make money blogging” is the write one to pick because it has high monthly traffic and low competition.

Set Your Meta Description to suit Your Keyword

It is of paramount importance to use your targeted keywords in your site Meta description. Nevertheless, blogger has given the chance to manually input the description for individual posts and also for your blog.

Therefore, there is a point in your template where you input the Meta description for your blog. These actually describe what your blog is composed of and the functionality of your blog. When you input the Meta description, it prevents your blog from repeating your keywords several times.

Your Post Count

Word count is also one of the important points to dwell on in writing a SEO friendly post. Considering the Google penguin update, you must always maintain your blog post count to the tune of 300-500 before you can publish it.

But I’ll tell you that blogs with more post counts are always having upper hand than blogs with fewer post counts in search engines. Therefore, if your existing posts are having less words count as required, then it’s advisable you remove them and rewrite.

Keyword Density

A lot of bloggers have been into trouble with Google algorithm concerning the issue of keyword density. You need to be mindful of how many times those keywords will appear in your posts to avoid Google’s wrath.

Many newbies have been dealt with because they repeated their keyword so many times in their post, therefore, just keep search engines in mind whenever you are write a post and make sure you reduce the number of time to reflex your keywords. For instant, if make money is your keyword and you have a sentence like this.

For you to make money you have to be fast and because making money this day is not for lazy people. I wrote once on make money strategy, but today I’m giving you tips on make money tips for the new bloggers.

You can see that in the span of just a sentence, the keyword appears more than 3 times. This is very bad because it might bring on the wrath of Google upon your site.

However, what is the correct number of time to use keyword on a post? From experience and researches, you must always keep your targeted keyword density to 2-3% of the word count of your complete blog post. And suppose you have a post of like 600 words, therefore your keyword should not appear more than 12-18 times to keep your keyword ranking very smart.

Keyword Usage in your Head Tags

I personally love this point because it’s one of my behind the scenes to success in blogging. I will tell you that many new bloggers don’t know about this, but you are fortunate to be reading this post.

Using heading tags like h1,h2, h3, h4 in writing a SEO friendly blog post is the best, and using it orderly can really help search bots to crawl you blog without any difficulty and the objective of your post will be so clear to it. Keyword usage in heading tags is a plus, most especially the hi and h2, but too much of those keywords can be very detrimental to you blog’s health.

Tag your Image

This is the best method to optimize your images for search engines. A perfect and clean image with alt tag can really boost your blog traffic, since search engine doesn’t recognize images, they only recognize words.

Therefore, tagging your images changes it from image phase to word phase in the sight of search engine bots. Representing your post concept with your images is plus, because it attracts more visitors to read your blog.

Set Your Permalink to Include Keyword

How to go about recycling Your Old Posts.

Well, most times you need not to re-write the whole of the post when recycling the blog post. Just a few grammatical check, paragraph arraign and possibly some other vital things should be checked.

And with the new set of key words standing firm, then you’ll be able to expose your content to a wider and larger audience and get more traffic.

Your Content is Highly Proportional to Search engines and Social media

The fact still remain that your content dwells a lot in your site ranking and this is highly beneficial in all ways.

Promoting your blog makes it popular, get you more traffic and a lot of your readers would be aware of its existence and what the blog is make up of. For you to promote your blog, all it takes is hard work, time management and determination. To be candid, it’s very easy to promote ones blog, but laziness has eaten some blogger’s marrow which makes it very difficult to do so.

Today, I will be sharing with you a million dollar worth of tips on how to promote your blog. Therefore, fasten your sit belt and let’s roll.

Get a High quality contents published

There are differences between contents on blogs and high quality contents. To me, contents are just ordinary article posted on a blog wherein when visitors get to the blog and read, he will just sign! Ok…. this means he/she just got information not a solution.

However, quality content to me is a type of contents that meet people’s demand, interactive, useful and also ever green. Whereby you can always go back to the blog every now and then to check on the blog again.

With this high quality contents, a lot of bloggers became famous with the way they write out of passion, as a reader, you were able to feel expressions, signs, as if they are talking with you in the real life. All because they were inspired to write. Therefore, I’ll advice you to learn the art of writing post that visitor will love and also search engines.

Blog Design

I guess some people don’t know that the way you look from the inside, is the way you look on the outside. You blog design really matters when promoting your blog. It’s a very good thing to be a web designer, but a very bad thing for you trying to show chase all you design ability on your blog.

With this your so called design talent now make your blog to look so wacky and jam-packed with odd color mixtures. There is nothing you can compare with simplicity in this world. A very simple and cool color helps in the promotion of one’s blog.

How come the pro bloggers are using designs that are simple? It’s like you never thought of it? This is simple because using a simple and cool design attracts more visitors and also reduces your blog speed. When there are too much of designs on your blog, it slows the page load down.

Therefore I’ll advice you to go for a cool color of design, not too conspicuous one.

Your attention is needed

Anytime a visitor comments on your blog and it takes you weeks to reply, when you never notify them that you’ll be out of the sphere for some time, and then your credibility is at stake. Try and give you attention to your readers by replying their comments as soon as possible.

Let me help you with my own style of doing things. I linked my email address with my smartphone, so anytime I have emails from my blog… I reply instantly because I have already linked my mails to the phone. I think this act has really built a very good relationship between I and my readers.

Therefore, I will advise you should check the method or if you think you have other better option which will make you to respond to your reader’s comment A.s.a.p., and then make use of it because quick response to readers comment help to gain their trust and confidence on your blog.

Facebook Fan page Very Essential

Facebook is undoubtedly the No 1 social networking company in the world, and a lot of bloggers have taken the very good use of Facebook to promote their blog. Therefore, get a Facebook fan page for you for your blog will definitely give your followers impression that you are an authority in your own field.

However, you can you your Facebook fan page to build a good relationship with your followers and also to drive turns of traffic to your blog by the posting your blog links on your page timelines.

You need to optimize your blog contents

I believe with the level of which blogging have reach, whenever we hear optimize the first thing that come to our head is SEO? This is very correct anyway, because the word “optimize” works hand in hand with search engine.

For you to optimize you blog posts, you need to have the knowledge of the keywords. We have two types of keywords: the genre and long tailed keyword. A very good example of these two keywords is: Genre keyword- Make money and Long tailed keyword- How to make money blogging.

You need to tune you blog posts in such a way that it will be search engine optimized, in other to rank very high in the search engine. We have lots of keywords that people search for on the web, which are related to you blog chosen niche.

Therefore, I’ll advice you to make keyword search before writing post. Note: be meek in your usage of keywords in other not to fall into Google penalty of cloud keyword density.

Use Social Media Buttons

It’s very advisable to have the social media buttons at the buttom of every published posts, in other to make sharing of your post to different social bookmarking sites very easy.
This is the easiest way to promote your blog, because your readers can easily share any of your post that met their needs for other friends to benefit.

Make Use of your Email Listing

A lot of bloggers have been using this means to promote their blog. Some of them believe this is a very good avenue to market their product, and this is why you need to work on how people will subscribe more to your bog.

Therefore, in other to make this method work very well, your emails need to be interactive, entertaining, precise and direct. And sending out too many emails in a week can push your readers to unsubscribe from your mailing list.
