SEO Focus That Should Look For All Bloggers

The year 2017 is the peak year of Blogging and Social Media, in my opinion. Indeed, in 2014 - 2016, since mobile usage has become commonplace, stretching the world of social media is incredible. Subsequently followed by blogging (which in fact is the initial platform of social media) that follow-up merrier. Maybe some new bloggers get information and interested in the world of blogging for the big social media contents like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. Well, this year that really will be the peak.

For Bloggers who have been involved before this year and yesterday, must be very confident and see for themselves that SEO, as part of mass traffic networking efforts, is always changing, both in terms of the owner's search engine policy, manifested in its new algorithms , to adjustments and changes to SEO techniques and strategies. For newcomers, it's important to know that SEO is growing, more detailed, more complex, and should be responded with a mature strategy.

You can no longer see obsolete and aging techniques eaten by new algorithms. You can no longer mimic the spam comment tradition that Google Penguin has fought in the long run, in essence, it all has to be adjusted in such a way with the current development. This is important, and this post is dedicated to starting the old technique mindset to a new one.

Back then usual link building begins with a simple analysis of a web page / blog through pagerank toolbar; to see how many pagerank it. But now the pagerank toolbar is dead. If the pages of the site before December 2013 still have pagerank (which can still be seen), it is no longer useful, because it's an old update. The emergence of pagerank value on the toolbar that is currently still loyal to some people's use because the Google datacenter to convey pagerank information is still active and functioning. But it's no use, because it's not an update now, it's stale. So, link building with this method is also outdated, and need new analysis techniques. Not to mention the various new things related to the quality of usability of a website that is now a consideration of Google as well.

Well here's a picture that will be mostly SEO focus in the future.

Table of content:

1. Mobile Friendly

2. Load Speed

3. Backlink Profile

4. Content Shareable

5. Rich Content

1. Mobile Friendly

The concept of mobile friendly is actually not foreign anymore, in 2011 this became a big trend. Websites in droves present with their respective mobile versions. At the same time, Responsive Web Design (RWD) has also been developed. Although in that year Google has been pushing websites to support mobile devices, but, by the end of 2014 yesterday, Google decided to deliver its real support via the "Mobile Friendly" label embedded at the bottom of the page titles in SERP listing results in mobile search. The goal is to provide info to mobile device users whether the website in the list can be accessed properly or not.

Then this strategy becomes absolute for SEO now. You can (1) stick with the default mobile templates version of blogger that is enabled & in-settings via dashboard> template. You can either (2) choose to use one template for all versions, aka a responsive template. I personally still choose to use a mobile version template instead of replacing this whole desktop template with a responsive one.

But unfortunately, many blogger responsive templates are not made with caution, so not a bit of a very long loading when accessed via mobile devices. This is one of my considerations. So, if you want to use responsive template, make sure the quality and tested. You can check out these quality responsive Blogger templates.

Eiitss, there is a miss, if my friend already use a responsive template, turn off the mobile version, because it is useless. Maybe this is also what confuses the mobile browser while processing which templates should be displayed. Maybe.

2. Load Speed

The load speed became one of the factors that Google has echoed early last year. As one of the benchmarks of user experience (user experience) in accessing the website, load speed is now increasingly important for SEO. This is why I am somewhat critical with responsive templates that load long enough when accessed via mobile. Sites may look cool and mobile friendly with responsive templates, but do not forget to pay attention to aspects of its access speed. Points that can be done on a template that has been used? There are, for example: image optimization (compression), javascript file compression and CSS, note the script taken from the outside, if the response is too long, move the hosting script to a better or search for similar versions hosted elsewhere. And there are many other ways that can be done.

3. Backlink Profile

Backlinks are benchmarks used by algorithms called PageRank ™. Accompanied by several other algorithms, one of the most popular is Penguin, the quality of backlink profiles is now the focus of SEO efforts. Backlinks can be haphazardly created, with spam here and there, but for now, backlink profiles created in this way will drop SEO blogs.

 Backlink profile is a description of the quality of backlinks owned by a site based on:

1. from where backlinks come from,
2. quality,
3. the amount (quantity),
4. variations of its keywords,
5. spread backlinks to the homepage and other pages,
6. and the percentage of nofollow vs dofollow it.

If (1) backlinks come from high-quality sites, (2) backlinks have variations of various keywords (looks natural), (3) has a balance between nofollow and dofollow, (4) backlinks to the homepage are not too severe in number other pages, then the backlink profile of a website is called authoritative or has high legitimacy.

Conversely, if (1) many backlinks come from spam sites, (2) directory and bookmarks are questionable quality, (3) backlinks of spam results and or obtained by unnatural means, (4) backlinks have variations of keywords with the majority of exactly or almost (5) the number of backlinks to the homepage extraordinary to the thousands whereas to post just one two, and (6) all dofollow backlinks or say about 90% dofollow, the profile backlinks are low or no legitimacy, and prone to threatened drop in rank , even a total penalty or banned.

Therefore, spam strategy is now very dangerous. Although social bookmarking, and directories are still legitimate, but you should be more selective, and even reduce the activity of sharing links on such sites.

Having a nofollow link is natural, and it should be. So dofollow and nofollow backlinks are side by side. What is not fair is that when almost all your backlinks dofollow (say as before, 90% dofollow), then backlink pal is precisely easy diendus as unnatural.

Regarding keyword variations, it is clear that the exact same keywords and insistently as anchor text on most of the backlinks also become one of the reasons blogs eaten penguins.

The best strategy? Can be said I now rarely do link building and prefer to wait to get it (link earning). Getting backlinks is the most natural way, with highly qualified backlinks. What does that mean?

for example, a few days ago I got an email about the previous article. There is a friend asked, "why does the article link to the makers of dofollow template all? Is not danger for blog?" That's it No problem. Dofollow on those links as my appreciation for their outstanding work. I do not know why there is such a mistake. If I link to these sites in the form of dofollow it is legitimate, reasonable. Natural. They may not know, and do not need to know, I link because I want to link to them because emang must refer to it. If I link to legitimate sites, I do not plunge people, given backlinks may be good effect, which love also have a nice effect, because blogs without outbound links are dead blogs. Outbound links will further illuminate Google that both are relevant and relevant. But it must be careful, do not let spam or phishing sites in the link, because dangerous.

4. "Shareable" Content

Although social signals (tweet, like, comment, plus one, share, etc.) are still a heated debate, whether or not SEO is important, it is an important benchmark. "Share-able" content, or that has the ability to be shared and become viral, shows that a content has certain quality features. In addition, share here also means linkback, or backlinks as content becomes a reference from various other websites. It goes back to point 3.

Shared content may not directly affect SEO, but it is an indicator that the blog and its Master have power for very high. Slightly heavier, such content will enhance the brand, whether on the web / blog, business, or individual. Content like this invites many things: back links from other web pages / blogs (getting backlinks from other sites naturally), increasing popularity, and giving authority to your blog and friend.

5. Rich Content

All professional SEO and Blogger campaigners already know (and no secret) that rich content is the key to SEO success. We do not speak to other types of content (images, videos, lyrics, word definitions, etc.), but blog content and other written content, which essentially involves narrative writing. So the content is short, or we think less than 250-300 words can not be referred to as rich content. Although there are, a lot of, short content can win in-SERP, I make sure it will not be long. This is logical. Ideally, rich content definitely involves writing a few words. The richer, the more words needed to be written. In essence, the more insight you have to unpack and deliver, the longer the content. And this is the most important: the more rich the variations of words and keywords.

I did not mention that content should be up to tens of thousands of words, no. If so make a book only. What I mean is if it should be said, say. Do not get stuck on the "he said" post that only 250 words can win in SERP, post just a few sentences can get a page one, and so on. It depends on the context. If my friend just want to write about download software, strange if writing up to 2000 words. In contrast to this, it may take more than the number of words (and richer): make a tutorial about using the software, based on experience and knowledge, complete with its tips. And blog content is usually identical to this one, and this one is also usually much more valuable. And once again, content like this is much more share-able ... Then share-able content will be easier to get what? True, natural backlink ...

Use and Optimize Anchor Text For Visitors & SEO

What is Anchor Text?
Anchor text is a text that contains links to a web page / blog other, both internal and external.

In link building, we recognize the existence of internal linking and external linking. For SEO, link building is one of the foundations in creating the optimization of the ranking of a web page / blog on search engines. Of course, anchor text has an important role behind the link building business.

In writing HTML links, anchor text is written between the opening and closing link tags:

<a href="destination-url-page"> Anchor Text <a/>

Example:

<a href="http://webmasterseo3.blogspot.com/2017/10/blog-website-mobile-friendly.html"> Business Blogging <a/>

On the blog / web page, the link looks like this:

Business Blogging

Anchor text specifies the description of the url that you want to target.

Anchor text is compiled with the appropriate keyword / phrase will be very calculated and useful, both for visitors and search engines. Therefore, the preparation of anchor text should really be considered and become an important focus when creating a blog / web page.

Describe Visitors about Destination Page Through Anchor Text

Often we see the use of anchor text like 'click here', 'here', 'click here', and the like to redirect visitors to the referenced page. Just fine. But the problem is, 'click here' for what? It may be before and after that there is a brief description of it, but rarely visitors who notice it. Use the anchor text that matches the destination page. Of course, you also do not want it if your pages are optimized in search engines with keyword "Click Here". Unless the anchor text is really needed. Also avoid anchor text in the form of url (same with url link it), in the form of page number, and so on.

Create Internal Links And External Links Clear Objectives

Basically, there are two purposes of using links on a blog / web page:

• For additional information for visitors.
• As the visitor navigates to easily find other pages.

Do not use links, anchor text, and destination pages that confuse visitors. It is also dangerous for ranking achievements in search engines. Direct the link directly to the page in question or the product page you want to show. Avoid excessive use of links to keywords in a web page / blog post. Give a link to the anchor text that was originally intended to refer visitors to other pages; in accordance with the above two objectives. It also aims to avoid flooding a page with keywords and links (keyword stuffing) that are obviously unlawful in terms of good SEO Criteria.

Make Anchor Text Short and Not Too Long

Anchor text should be descriptive so that visitors know the information about the page to be addressed. Use the anchor text in the keyword / phrase that explains but at the same time has a narrow meaning, so what will be addressed by the visitor is clear and not confusing. This means, an anchor text is not too short (unless it is obvious) and not too long.

For example, there is an anchor text "My mother's fried banana is more delicious than the world's most expensive ice cream". Compare with the use of anchor text "Fried bananas" or "My fried bananas made by my mom." Which is more effective and elegant? Explain other things not on the anchor text, and better yet, explain everything inside the intended page instead of the anchor text The visitor will not be confused if we use the anchor text with the right phrase Search engines can also easily find the keywords in the anchor text that is optimized.Easily, the anchor text is almost the same as the keyword optimization, give a link to the keyword in the form of phrase / the right clause, not too long, let alone a compound sentence.Simply remember the Indonesian lesson may be good. :-)

Create links with Anchor Text that are easy to see and find

Staining and link layout are important factors that determine the number of clicks that lead to the destination page. The reader scans on the sections of prominent web pages, as well as on posts that have prominence, such as bold, italic, headline and of course: LINK. Provide a characteristic that makes visitors know that a line of words is a link is very helpful in optimizing the navigation. Visitors will know that the link is clickable so they can get to the desired page easily. Colorize the visible and prominent display links. If, it is necessary to give a different color to visited links (links that have been visited / clicked) to let visitors know which pages have been seen before. Avoid using links that have the same color as other text, let alone create hidden links (invisible links) that are not useful for visitors and is a SEO trick that is actually dangerous and is now beginning to be fought by Google and other search engines.

How Preferred Link Building Like Google

Backlinks are important points needed by every blog / website in order to compete with other blogs / websites in search engines. That's why link building is always touted & often appears in SEO. There are at least two important reasons behind the link building business that you Bloggers are doing:

1. You need backlinks because you want the site / blog to get authority in the eyes of search engines, especially Google.
2. You need backlinks if you want to get the authority in the niche brought or presented, that is when you want people to know you as an expert on the niche.

authority means the ability or power to handle a thing, giving orders, controls, opinions, advice, suggestions, etc. In the context of authorship, authority is related to authorship, which means the ability or power of someone who is considered in charge of the niche and the papers that he wrestled. Whereas in the context of search engines, the authority of course is the ability of a blog / web page to be assessed as important by search engines. So, the authority here has a multilevel meaning that can be applied to show the power of the website / blog and the author.

However, there are things that must be underlined in the context of the importance of link building here. A fact that can no longer be denied, namely that thousands of links that are planted can not necessarily be called & become backlinks, let alone quality backlinks. Many neglect one important concept which is the backbone of link building: QUALITY.

It can not be denied again that many bloggers think that thousands of backlinks built in a haphazard & instant way can make search engines glance. In fact there is also a reply to dibel-belain pay to get thousands of links, which is actually not known exactly where the link was placed & on what kind of sites. In fact, the facts are: have thousands of backlinks from low-quality sites, irrelevant, links placed in the footer, link exchange (link exchange), sites that sell links, links spam, and all kinds of it nothing compared to 10 quality backlinks. Yes, enough 10 quality backlinks alone will change the authority of the blog / web. let alone 10, one quality backlink alone can increase pagerank.

Okay, now I am talking about quality backlinks. So surely the question arises, what is a quality backlink?

What Does Google Rate As A Qualified Backlink?

Here's an outline:

Google considers a link as a quality link if it is derived or referenced from content / content of web pages / blogs that have a high degree of relevance.

Google places great emphasis on the relevance or relevance of the content. That's why Google Panda then slapped out all the web / blog that only win in keyword but poor relevance.

For example, let's say you search for content through Google with the keyword "Fruit Wine", then put also two content appear in the first and second order in the search result page:

1. The first content mentions the types, tastes, origin, prices, and benefits of grapes.
2. The second content is the writing of a blogger on a personal blog that mentions about the fondness of eating grapes as a hobby that can not be abandoned because it makes him remember his girlfriend. bla..bla..bla .. (well,assume so, for example it is, hehe ...).

Which of the two content above is more useful for you? If, you then click on the second content and see the contents are not related to the desired, then it is likely to press the "back" button or close the window of the content page. Well, created the so-called "Bounce Rate", the level of inertia, where the higher the value or percentage, the smaller the value or value of importance. The real example, this case often occurs when we enter and stuck on the site / blog AGC or doorway page which contains only keywords without content. We will immediately press the back or close button. And this is also a consideration of Google in determining the ranking and value. User experience is now Google's reference in judging.

This is at least a description of relevance.

Then How to Link Quality Link Building?

Call me write a blog post about link building tips. Then on another occasion, you are invited to guest blogger in another SEO blog then write about dofollow & nofollow links. Inside the post then you create a link that leads to your blog post with keyword "link building tips". This is what can then be called a very high quality backlinks, apart from some other contexts about the condition of blogs that will be discussed later.

If the guest post is published in a health-themed blog, and in the link to the same post, it's still a link, but not a quality link. It could be, if creative, the link can be surrounded with some words related to the link, then there is a possibility the link is considered qualified. But of course this can damage the content of the article itself because there are confusions and can confuse the reader. Given the user experience is now affecting the algorithm in determining the ranking, of course this is not good.

The first conclusion: niche conditions, themes, context surrounding the link influence in determining the quality or not a link. The higher the relevance, the more quality a backlink.

The second condition that affects the quality of links and blog / web is the quality of the page redirect the link and where the link is directed. If a blog / web has too many outbound links, has too many themes or niche and is unclear, and redirects links to low quality pages or even gets Google penalized, this can degrade the quality of the blog / website along with links -link.

So, if you are building links on a blog / web, it's good to see some of the following:

1. Note whether the blog / web has a high quality content & have the value of authority and also a high orginalitas also.
2. See if the blog / website has too many outbound links irrelevant, such as an exchange link either automatic or manual yg number too much to beat the links from blog / web itself.
3. See if the blog / web has ad space with the number of ads too much. Moreover, if many of these ads are referral links. Ads that are too numerous to beat the interest of the content (damaging the focus on the content) may affect the quality.
4. See if the site is a site link farm or content farm (plantation links and content, hehe ... not .. that means sites that only contain links but there is no content or sites that are a collection of articles only but not clear what direction the goal, for example AGC, autoblog, etc.). Such blogs are usually involved in link wheel schemes, incoming and outgoing links only for referral purposes, etc.
5. More about quality content can be listened in Quality Content Criteria According to Google.

Link Building Natural

Google also spies the level of link building speed of a blog / web. Link building needs to be done in the natural way possible for Google to see it as a process that is not artificial (artificial) or unnatural. How is link building unnatural or unnatural? Simple. Link building is too aggressive.

Put you using an automated service or software that can create thousands of backlinks in a short time, for example in a week. So within a week you already have thousands of backlinks. Then the next week you do not get the means to get automatic backlinks again. So no backlinks that week. The next week, after googling, obtained software with so much price to create backlinks with the number of thousands. Then the next month, link building stopped again. And so on, and so on. This is just an example, of course without any tool you can create backlinks so, at least hundreds, by way of spamming. If the pattern is so, Google can then read the pattern and most likely the process is considered unnatural. Moreover, if the web / blog just created, for example in a month, but already has thousands of backlinks, this is more natural! So make sure the number of backlinks that made it natural may match the ability of a human in making it.

Then how to build and form links that are considered natural?

Actually very simple. For example:

1. Through dofollow blog, we can get backlinks through comments, of course with reasonable limits as well. That is by contributing a weighty comment, not origin jeplak, and not nyepam.
2. Guest post. Become a guest blogger who wrote articles for other blogs. In addition to providing quality backlinks, can also increase the author's authority.
3. Participate in forums and leave referral links appropriate to the conversation & niche.
4. Original articles (own writing) and typical tend to get the spotlight and become a reference. Many Bloggers who then refer other blog link articles as a reference. If the blog article is copied, make sure there is a backlink installed correctly, other than as a form of respect from other Bloggers who take the article in accordance with the ethics, providing a backlink is also a plus. This means that bloggers who take articles and bloggers whose articles are taken have a mutual relationship.
5. Do the pattern of link building with reasonable-fair and not lame. If you work alone for a blog, creating hundreds of links in a week actually already exceeds a reasonable limit. Pay attention to quality, not quantity. The lame pattern relates to the example already mentioned above. Do link building with the same routine, so the addition of backlinks read by Google does not indicate any pattern that is engineered.

The point is, do not just build links but build quality links. That is, there are some important requirements which I can then summarize here: Original, quality, & related content / contents when links are to be built or planted; blog / web quality (with reference to some of the things mentioned above); and a natural link building business. If done in such a way, undoubtedly not only the authority of blog / web only high in the eyes of search engines, but also your authority as Bloggers, writers, & experts in a particular niche in the eyes of people.

Have a nice Blogging, guys!

Why Spam Comments Are Dangerous and What is the Solution?

Maybe this also happens to all buddies, you read a blog article or video on the internet, then met with garbage and irrelevant comments. You might think, what is this anyway? What comes to mind, like it or not? Some webmasters and bloggers abuse the comment feature by exploring and embedding keywords and millions of links to improve their organic rankings. What are the facts?

In fact, spam comments are severe!

Spam comments can be interpreted as well as manifested in many forms and ways. If discussed it is not enough of this one page talk. However, when discussed in general, spam comments mean unexpected, unrelated comments, and are not intended to respond to or discuss a conversation within articles / blog posts. The goal is simply to leave the "trail", promote without proper means, and lastly, to leave spam links (for SEO, he says). Spam in general has almost the same goal, but through many media such as email, facebook message, status, apps, tweets (usually using the popular via @ profile), SMS, and more. The main goal is to reach customers profitably and there (the worst) to harm others (phishing, malware, viruses, scams, etc.).

So, in essence, everything in the form of messages sent unauthorized and or unexpectedly referred to as SPAM.

In WordPress WordPress blog, I can easily do anything because the settings / settings and the use of plugins is an easy matter. But on Blogger, it's very difficult. For example, when we categorize a comment as spam, then the next comment from the same source is not directly identified. I have to do over and over again until the Blogger spam filter system "realizes" it. Instead, non-spam comments are actually put in spam automatically!

However, it does not dampen my intention to combat spam on this blog. Spending hours every day deleting spam every day in my opinion is much better than "maintaining" spam comments. What is the reason? Spam comments not only make your site decrease in quality, but also the reader's trust.

I never get comments from buddy Blogger about spam comments are not deleted and questioned my carefulness and seriousness in administering the blog. As a reader, he feels uncomfortable having to look at spam comments where he should have learned the comments as he continues to read the article above. I also got a lot of emails from Buddy Bloggers who well conveyed a spam comment on my blog post page. This happens when I rarely update my blog because of the high volume of offline work. This also proves that the readers did not want spam comments.

As a personal experience, I also proved that spam comments are (sorry) "disgusting". As an internet surfer, I often travel to other blogs. When I finished reading, I used to scroll down to see the comments and see if there was an interesting follow-up discussion. Unfortunately, in some blog articles, I often encounter a lot of spam, and usually if it's already a lot, I discouraged to comment.

Instantly, I am increasingly unconvinced by the identity of the product and the site links that are carried in the spam comments. It may be that the product is innocent, but because of the number of "product names" that appear in various spam comments, my level of trust is declining. Apparently the spammers do not realize, that in that way, not only he whose reputation declined, but also the product he promoted, even though he was just a reseller or promoter. This is rarely discussed in the world of internet marketing, although a lot of case study done and the results so. Well, of course this also applies to those of you who carry the name of the blog.

(I hope you have not been bored, because we will get into the important part ... hehe)

If it is breakdown, at least, there are 3 major points of comment spam effect:

1. Comment spam damages reputation.

Imagine a visitor coming and reading your post page, as I did above. The visitor then looks at the spam comments below. He will think long to leave comments, because his comments "only" will be judged "small" among the spam comments. Belief in you also decreased due to blog management factors and authority. Similarly for spammers. People's belief in it also decreases. The more spam it creates, the more it goes down its reputation, because it's becoming known as a spammer. The danger, if it turns out the spammers carry other products or websites (eg as spam backlink services), products and websites that should not be at fault affected.

2. Spam comments degrade SEO rankings

You obviously know and see that Google is lowering the ranking of sites that direct links to low quality sites, as well as low-quality sites themselves.

"In an article published in 2009 past, Google talked about the facts of spam comments:

a. Misusing the comments feature on a site that should be innocent is a bad and risky way. If that is the case, then you have tarnished someone's hard work and degraded the quality of the web, turning a quality information source into a bunch of unreasonable keywords.

This relates to the content of comments that are completely irrelevant to the content of articles / posts. This means that the comment is not intended to discuss or respond to content, but merely to promote, leave traces, and other bad goals. Irrelevant comments make consistency and relevance of content in a page down. The more spam, the declining the relevance. The effect is clear to the rankings.

b. Spammers often use the commenting feature to build a site link (which doubts its quality) in order to improve rankings. Google has a grasp of web link graphics, and has an algorithm for detecting and handling spam links (now also supported Penguin). Spammers can spend hours and hours until a day to leave a trail of links in various blog articles. Actually this is futile, because the effect is very small or even none because Google is very keen not to give weight value on these links. Instead of spending such wasted time and energy, it is better to use it to create content products that benefit the internet community.

Noteworthy is on sites containing spam links. Although the site is innocent, it does not even know, but its visibility and ranking can drop dramatically because of those links. So if your website receives these links, and the numbers are mounting, your ranking or rank is threatened. Hundreds of links, though nofollow, will still be dangerous as this indicates the morbidity of a web page. Giving referrals to hundreds of external and irrelevant links is not a good thing and fair, both in the eyes of humans and search engines. Especially if you dofollow web comment, can you imagine yourself the effect ...

3. Spam comment hurts the Blogosphere world

In my opinion, a blogger is not only responsible for his own blog but also the entire blogosphere. If a blog allows spam comments and lets it happen, then it means he gives the spammers an understanding that they can do whatever they like on other blogs. If a blogger has a habit of spamming, then he gives a signal to the internet world that all bloggers are also doing the same thing, as well as giving a permissive negative example that spamming comments is a natural thing. It all started from one, then mushroomed into a fairness. This certainly really hurt the blogosphere where bloggers should be able to meet, discuss, share ideas, and socialize comfortably.

I can imagine how many blogs die every day is still routinely bombarded by spam. In fact there are many blogs that are dead because of spam!

Solutions Facing Spam Comments

As a personal policy, I am now moderating comments before they can be published as well as changing the commentator feature to avoid anonymity. Previously I did not do moderation, but because now many spammers also have a Google profile or Blogger, and spam is still mushrooming, then forced moderation is taken as a solution. This is very effective, I can filter, even answer important comments with much more orderly and good because all the comments read.

As a suggestion, here are some points you can do to avoid spam comments and their effects:

1. Do not allow anonymous comments. A person who really intends to comment is certainly not hiding.

2. Use a captcha or similar tool to avoid automated comments (robots). This is most common in CMS blogs like WordPress.

3. Use an antispam plugin or module (akismet, WP AntiSpam, whatever you think is effective) if you're using a CMS platform like WordPress.

4. Use rel = "nofollow" on the comment. On some blogs like WordPress, Blogger, Joomla, etc. this attribute already exists by default.

5. Enable comment moderation. This is the way that I think is most effective.

6. Remove immediately if spam comments are found.

How to Identify Spam Comments

Modes such as moderation will not be effective if you can not look at the comments in depth. It could be a spam comment will pass because it seems natural. Here are the obvious or vague features:

1. Comments contain links. Never tolerate a comment containing any good links. Because the comments contain the links already clearly have their own goals even though the commentator looks sincere.

2. The name of the commentator (anchor text) is too generic, or use general keywords. Usually dominated by the names of drugs, gambling, housing, etc. or generic keywords consisting of long words, such as keyword-keyword SEO contest. There is no purpose other than "worshiping Google".

3. The comment is quite short and as if praising, on it name commentator with keyword is not relevant at all. Usually like this, "Nice site!", "Nice blog", "Cool", "Thanks", etc. I find such comments too far-fetched.

4. Long comments but too general. Often encountered in English or translate from Indonesia and vice versa. As if praising, sometimes even criticizing. Example: "You are a luck for me to drop by! Keep up the good work! Only, your site is too slow, but it's okay, I'll come here often." This is a generic sentence, usually done by robots, or used by manual spammers many times in various comments (copy paste). Of course varies. There are automated backlink services that provide comment content templates, in PHP, JS, etc.

5. Often there are comments that insert links in relevant comments. Usually done manually. Example "Good blog tutorial, So to know how to create permalink." There is no purpose other than searching for relevance and directing backlinks to adore the "god of SEO".

6. Comment away from the topic without any hesitation. Example: "There is good news ABC online business that is proven to pay, do not miss this opportunity .. Just visit LINK!".

7. Comment and or name of commentator contains referral link affiliate. It is clear, there is no tolerance at all!

There are still many different case examples, but similar identification.

Blogger Update New XML Sitemap & Support Custom Domain

Blogger Update New XML Sitemap & Custom Domain SupportAs we all know, Blogger has always been the last (or at least late) in improving or upgrading services and features. Understandably, Blogger is not open source and only rely on those who officially work for Blogger or Google to do the development. Unlike WordPress which is always experiencing updates and the addition of new features in a short time because it is open source and supported by a very large community of developers.

I used to discuss about new modified sitemap and sitemap XML can be used for blogs that still use native domain Blogger (blogspot.com), while for blogs that already use custom domain, sitemap in XML format not support , so have to make modifications in such a way as to create a sitemap to be registered in Google Webmaster Tools. Now?

XML Sitemap for All Blogs

In 2012 and then, Blogger releases sitemap.xml format that is actually still a test, and not fully support custom domain. Well, just now, Blogger releases a sitemap.xml that supports all blogs, both of which are still using blogspot subdomain as well as with their own custom domain. This sitemap is fully automated and placed in the root of the domain, just like the previous XML sitemap release.

Few formatting differences, if the XML sitemap used to be collected in a single page for any number of posts, now if the number of pagespost reach a certain amount, then the sitemap will be divided into several pages. This is similar to the Sitemap Yoast XML Sitemap sitemap concept inside the WordPress SEO plugin. Unfortunately, I do not get clear information on what the maximum limit is on a page. In addition, when viewed at a glance, there is no difference that can be seen. The contents are just plain or flat without a certain styling, because it updates related to certain things from the backend server, one of which is support on custom domain.

Here's a screenshot of the sitemap page for blogs with top level domains or custom domains as an example I use (sorry, my domain blur for the privacy of clients, hehe ...)
example sitemap xml blogger custom domain (TLD)

Click image to enlarge

In the sitemap, there are several sub-sitemaps, namely fractions of the sitemap collections (indexes) if the number of post pages has been exceptional, for example:
www.domain.com/sitemap?page=1
www.domain.com/sitemap?page=2
www.domain.com/sitemap?page=3
and so on ... (if the number of posts is very much., ..)
Unfortunately yes that was, there is no known sitemap limitations that must be broken down into several pages. so the majority of sitemap blogs are only one page only (no index and directly contains a collection / post list).

This is something extraordinary in my opinion, because (finally) onpage SEO support for Blogger is completely complete.

So what?

Then obviously that you, especially those who use custom domain, can breathe a sigh of relief. Those using subdomains have long used sitemap.xml instead of a modified sitemap or used it as an addition and sitemap optimization. Well now, Blogger blog with custom domain can use xml sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools as mapping tool website by Google. The way is the same. For those who are new to GWT, simply open the site dashboard in Google Webmaster Tools> Choose "Sitemap" (or "Sitemap" if you use the English version) and enter the name of the sitemap file. (Check the screenshot on featured image above this post for details).

The hope?

Obviously, efforts for Onpage SEO, especially for those using custom domains, are now much more complete. But there is one thing that I think is important, hopefully in a short time Google / Blogger can provide additional features in the form of customization / sitemap settings, for example to divide the page sitemap in smaller number of posts, for example one page per 50 post, other.

How do you think this is good enough? is there any hope ahead for this XML sitemap feature? Are there any other expectations related to other SEO features on Blogger?

Blog / Website Mobile Friendly And To Make It

The term mobile friendly refers to several things that support the convenience of access via mobile devices and is not limited to the presentation of website content / blogs only, but one of them includes the presentation of website content that supports mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and other types of gadgets.

To respond to this, there are 2 options strategy commonly used by website / blog :

1. Specifically for access via mobile device
Create a design and web page version specifically for access via mobile device, or the term provides the template / theme mobile version. This concept uses the automatic detection feature when there is access via mobile, so then (after detected) the browser will be redirected to the template / theme mobile version. The most common news sites use this version and use a domain characterized by mobile access on its mobile version (m.domain.com, mobile.domain.com, etc., this is not absolute), for example Facebook (m.facebook.com ). In some platforms, this feature also exists, for example: in Blogger there is a feature mobile version complete with the default template or can be made its custom. In WordPress (self-hosted) there is a pretty popular mobile version plugin, WP-touch.

2. Using Responsive Web Design (RWD)
Using the principle of Responsive Web Design (RWD) to create template / website page design that can be adapted desktop and mobile browser. According to this principle, the web / blog layout must be able to adjust to the width of the browser. Generally, responsive design involves two things: viewport meta tags (used by mobile version jg) and CSS media queries (@mediascreen) to perform the adaptation. In some of the more sophisticated responsive designs, they are complemented by many things, for example: full HTML5 or javascript / jquery usage to enrich the response capability, hide some elements, and give effect to device switches. Templates with RWD principles can be accessed well by various browsers, both for desktop and mobile browsers of various sizes and resolutions.

So, mobile friendly website is a website capable of presenting content for mobile device users well, with one of the two ways above, and not limited to the ability of a template to respond to mobile devices only.

Which one is better? There is no. Both are good when applied appropriately, and bad if misapplied. As mentioned above, major news websites prefer to use two different templates: desktop version and mobile version, to respond to access to two types of devices rather than using responsive template principles. This is because news websites tend to have quite high file weight (because it has a lot of elements). So, if adapted to or replaced with a responsive template / theme, it's likely that the weight will still be high. Although it may be arranged in such a way that some elements are not displayed when accessed via mobile, but this is still seen as less effective.

Not all responsive templates are well-tested when accessed via mobile, as I mentioned in the previous post. On some Blogger templates in particular, there are still many quite heavy when accessed via mobile device browser. So do not be surprised if some Blogger users prefer to use the mobile version rather than using a responsive template and turn off its mobile version features.

How do I know if a website / blog supports this mobile friendly concept?
All may already know, Google recently released a tool to check whether a mobile friendly website:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

There it will be seen whether a website supports the mobile-friendly concept (passing the test or not), either through the use of responsive templates or the use of mobile templates. So the concept of mobile friendly website is not limited to certain web design principles only (eg RWD only).

Examples of tests on blogs with mobile version templates:

for the above picture using responsive template, if for mobile website you can try it yourself

There is actually one more method to present content to mobile users, ie with apps (both for android, iphone, bb, windows mobile etc). Some websites choose to use this way instead of presenting a mobile version or a responsive template. Every user comes from mobile browser, they are not presented mobile version, but redirected to the page that conveys information to download and install the application belongs to the website.

 Which one is better? All depends on the choice and strategy that will be carried. What is clear, make sure visitors from mobile devices get the same enjoyment with desktop visitors, and one of the benchmarks is the speed of access / loading pages. Moreover loading the page also so benchmark SEO assessment, then mobile friendly is not enough for SEO if not pay attention to the speed of access. Both are synergistic, because it is closely related to the convenience of users in accessing web pages / blogs.

Maximize Keyword In Post Blog / Website

Keyword is one SEO optimization effort that is very important because for search engines keyword is an aspect that shows the relevance of the content. Without keywords, search engines will become "blind" because there is no reference to judge blog content. Actually it is certain every blog content has keywords, but whether search engines can see it well? Does the keyword represent content? Does the keyword match the content? Undeniable is the existence of the title of the content because he is the head (tiltle) which shows / describes the next content. In addition, the URL also has an important role as "resource / key" which reinforces the description of the content by the title. Therefore, maximizing / optimizing keywords in URLs is worth noting.

Blog / Website URL has its limitations. The details are as follows:
1. The URL is formed according to the post title when it was first written.
2. Words in the URL are limited to 4 to 6 or 7 words, depending on the length of each word.
3. Blog URLs on the Blogger platform can not be customized / re-edited.

With these limitations, it is very likely that the words on the back, according to the title of the post, are cut off in the middle. Changing the URL is highly unlikely except by creating a new post again. Unlike WordPress, post URLs can be created & modified when posting and do not have URL length limits.

To be more clear who I mean, following example URL is not optimal keyword :

https://webmasterseo3.blogspot.co.id/2017/10/improve-and-increase-seo-for-search.html

Visually the above URL is incomplete, because if it is read, with the human eye, the title in the above URL is not descriptive. Likewise with search engines, there are missing keywords that should be very important to strengthen keywords & relevance to the content. Though the desired course URL has the appropriate keyword title:

"Improve And Increase SEO For Google Search Engine"

URLs are formed with non-descriptive results as they have reached the URL limit / length limit.


While the example URL I intentionally optimize for the keyword is follows:

https://webmasterseo3.blogspot.co.id/2017/10/make-sitemap-for-optimize-search-engine.html

We see the url is rich in keywords and important points, although if you read there are some missed words that missed. However, for the human eye these words are still descriptive, especially for search engines, the URL is rich in important keywords. The full post title is:

"Step By Step Make Sitemap For Optimize Search Engine"

There are many word ornaments and connecting words that differ with the words in the URL so that for the human eye and search engines additional words in the post then create continuity of description and keyword. Thus, there are two mutually supportive parts, post titles and post URLs.

Well how to maximize keywords in blog post URL berplatform Blogger?

The trick is very simple, just follow the steps below:
1. When posting, fill in the title box at the top of the post editor with words containing important keywords. Avoid using unnecessary liaison words. Why? because it can break the URL that formed if the URL has reached the limit. Like the example above, I do not use 10 words, create, and design. Connected words using symbols like "&" or sentence like "?" will be ignored by the Blogger generator URL and are considered non-existent.
2. After posting and publishing, edit the post again.
3. Change the title of the post to be more descriptive and interesting.
4. Publish / update the post again.

That way, the blog URL can help optimize the keywords to achieve a good ranking, at least in the SERP.

Is that enough for its purpose?
No. I will open a little secret another, well since this open the secret blogspot. Ha ha. The trivial thing does not mean it only has trivial benefits. So, do not underestimate the Blogger platform, worshipers of WordPress! (peace!). In the same way as above, we can maximize two different important keywords in the post title as well as in the post URL. Posts have a stronger chance of covering 2 different keywords when a user searches on search engines. Examples of different keyword usage on URLs & post titles:

https://webmasterseo3.blogspot.co.id/2017/10/make-sitemap-for-optimize-search-engine.html

While the title of the post is:

Make Site Map For Optimize Search Engine

Without having to explain in more detail, you can know the differences between URL & post title above.

The most important in this simple SEO tips is how to concoct & use important keywords in the blog URL and then make a more interesting post title after the post URL is formed. So, of course, this effort is related to the creativity of friends in "assemble" the words and create blog posts. The solution? Practice, practice, and practice !!

Improve And Increase SEO For Search Engine

-------------------------  WEBMASTERSEO3.BLOGSPOT.COM  -------------------------

Previously we first understand what SEO is. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of increasing / optimizing the number of blog / website visitors by reaching a higher ranking in search engine index (SERP) page results. The higher the SERP website / blog, the greater the number of visitors. It is very rare for search engines to browse page after page on search engines. So, the webmasters in droves to compete and scramble to exist in the main page of search engines. While other terms SEO (Search Engine Optimizer), are the actors, tools, & elements that can help improve the SERP rank of blog / website.

Every blog / website has elements, templates / themes, basic code, and various other elements that vary so that SEO efforts are not the same. For example, WordPress has basic elements of PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. In addition WordPress also comes with many SEO plugins that are ready to use maximize the results in search engines. Blogspot has basic elements of HTML, Javascript, & CSS, which of course there are disadvantages. Although we can use SEO plugin berbasic Javascript, but I myself do not see any significant effect. The advantages, in Blogspot we can make modifications / hack without limit on both the blog design and in improving its SEO. Remarkable !

the steps below is the way into the organic SEO category, which is the optimization of search engines with natural ways, which I see it has a good effect. In addition, I also less so support the ways of Blackhat SEO which is currently started to be set aside by Google.

1. Choose an SEO friendly template.
A blog layout design can have advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, a view template / theme looks great, but in terms of SEO may be weak, or vice versa. Therefore, choose an SEO friendly Blogger template. Currently there are many free premium-quality Blogger templates that have been inserted SEO hack. If it is 'already dear' and want to keep using the old template, do from the second step below.

2. Install meta tags on the blog
There are many types of meta tags, the most commonly used meta description, which contains the description blog / website and meta key, which contains keywords related to the contents of the blog / website. In addition there is also a meta author, which contains the name of the author or the name of the institution / company, but rarely used. And many other meta-meta.

3. Maximize keywords in the title / title of the blog
Compacting titles with targeted keywords can enlarge keyword density (keyword density) of a blog. In blogspot, edit the title via Dashboard > Design > Click edit in header, fill in the desired title and save.

4. Put the post title in front of the blog name
In the Blogger template that has not been filled in the hack, usually the name of the blog is in front of the post title. To check it out, open a post page and look at the tabs and bars in the browser. See if the blog's name is in front of and in the post title. In the search engine index results, this can reduce the accuracy and density of keywords and cut the title of the post on the back. Especially if the post title is very long. Visitors do not understand the whole point.

5. Maximize keywords that are solid and effective in blog posts
This does not mean to make keywords as much as possible, but set the position / keyword, using the appropriate keywords and phrases, and do not use too many words that long-winded. For example, avoid words like this: "In the post this time ...", and others word.

6. Fast loading time (load time)
Google also impose penalties against blogs / websites that are too heavy and long to load. This is logical, because the time required by spiders while crawling and gathering information becomes longer. The things that hinder the loading of blogs / websites are usually: too many javascript files (usually on widgets) and too large image files. Visitors of course will also be hassle because they have to wait for long loading, especially for the internet connection is slow.

7. Speed ​​up the search engine index process against blogs
A quick index indicates that blogs are well known by search engines. This of course speeds up a SEO post because we do not have to wait in a long time and visitors can immediately find it on search engines. While this is not a guarantee that post articles are in the main page index, it is the first step of the SEO process itself.

8. Nofollow Blogger Label-label (optional)
In the article Understanding Characteristics and How to Optimize Blogger Labels, I explained that the url label is actually a search command ,
(eg url: https://webmasterseo3.blogspot.co.id/search/label/favicon) the label is not a permanent link (permalink). Why? Because the label only formed as a result of the search term url (for example like search engine seach url). Therefore, search engines do not take into account labels as legitimate links / urls for indexing. That's why when you log into Google Webmaster Tools, there is information that link labels are restricted by robot.txt. The no-follow-label step is optional, so you can try it out for further effects.

9. Link building effective
Link building is the most important point in SEO. Link building is the process of creating inbound links (links that lead to blogs / websites), which is getting backlinks from blogs / other websites. Link building can be done in many ways: create reciprocal links with directory / social bookmark (which requires reciprocal links) or exchange links with other blogs / websites, register blogs and articles to social bookmarks / directories, and comment on blogs / websites else by leaving a link in the commentator form, this way is commonly known as blogwalking, although then somewhat misinterpreted by leaving comments containing, "blogwalking!", or, "dropping gan!", and others. Comment on content as it shows quality and Google also glances at it. Do not forget, there is a link and anchor text above the comment, and Google noticed it when crawling.

To link building effectively with the goal of getting quality backlinks & increasing pagerank, comment on dofollow blogs with high pagerank, register blogs and articles on directory sites and social bookmarking dofollow, list also blogs in blog directory quality. Expand backlinks that lead to blogs / websites, but do it naturally, that is not random, too many backlinks created in one day can also be considered 'unnatural' by Google. I usually limit 5-10 times the link building every day.

Link building can increase the visibility or appearance of blogs / websites in the eyes of search engines and increase traffic quality. The more tarffic the higher the importance of importance for search engines so he routinely do crawling. Link building also adds credibility and popularity of a blog / website.

That's the basics of SEO optimization Blogger / Blogspot who became my experience. There are still many ways that can be taken to improve the SEO blog but if some of the above steps can be the basis to strengthen the SEO blog, before doing the next step to improve SEO. The solid foundation is a benchmark and the forerunner of a solid building is not it?
