How to Get your Blog/Website Alexa Ranking below 10,000 in the next 3 Months

It almost took me 2 years to get my blog, All Tech Buzz alexa below 10,000. But if you follow the strategy which I am going to explain in this article then you can easily get your Alexa Ranking of your Blog/Website below 10,000 in the next 3 months. Here I am not holding anything back, revealing everything I have done so far to reach this level.
If you ask me is Alexa Rank really important? Then without any hesitation I would say, Yes these days Alexa is the key factor to measure the popularity of a Blog or Website. As the Page Rank has not been rolled out since a very long time, everyone is considering Alexa to measure how popular and how authoritative a Blog is. Before reading this article I would highly recommend you to read my guide on 10 Tips to Improve your Blog Alexa Rank first.

First and the foremost thing is to understand Alexa:

Most of the people don't understand how this Alexa Ranking works actually. First try to understand Alexa Ranking Algorithm. Alexa Ranking is not based on the number of links or not based on number of comments or number of articles you have on your blog. Its completely different from what a normal user thinks. Alexa only counts those hits that pass through their system. So, they only count those visitors who installed alexa toolbar on to their browsers.

Understand your Traffic and Get Traffic from Bloggers/Web Masters:

The most important factor for improving your Alexa Ranking is Traffic but not the usual traffic. You need laser targeted traffic to your blog or website to improve your Alexa Rankings. Its the traffic from Bloggers, WebMasters, Geeks that is going to improve your Alexa.
Bloggers/Web Masters are the people who install Alexa Toolbar on to their browser, so try to get traffic from them.
  • If you get 100 people who installed Alexa Toolbar daily then you should get a Alexa below 100,000 in the next one month.
  • To get Alexa Below 50,000 you should get about 200-250 per day.
  • To get Alexa Below 20,000 you need to get around 300-500 visits, who have installed alexa toolbar.
  • To get below 10,000 you need to get around 500-800 visitors per day.
  • If you have about 1000-1500 visitors who installed alexa toolbar then you can easily get your Alexa below 5000 in the next one month.
You might be wondering who install Alexa Toolbar on their browser. Its people like us Bloggers, Web Masters, SEO's, Designers and Geeks install alexa toolbar on their browser.

Build a Good Social Media:

The days of completely dependent on Google or other search engines are gone. Now its all about the Social Media presence. If you are still following the old SEO strategy then its time to grow up and build a good social media.
When I say social media restrict yourself to few social networks and build then to the best possible extent. Of course there are social networks like Triberr, Inbound which can boost your Alexa Rankings dramatically but not all people are over there. So, I would suggest you to build good network on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Once you have a good social media on primary networks you can easily build the other secondary social networks like Networked blogs, Triberr, Inbound etc.

Focus on both Quality and Quantity: 

As I always say Quality is the king but when it comes to boosting alexa rankings, you must post as many articles as possible per day to get back visitors to your blog regularly. Which helps you in maintaining the Blog Alexa Rankings.

Be Consistent:

If you are not consistent then you will loose a lot of loyal readers day by day which will obviously decrease your ranking.Be consistent but not at the cost of quality. Never compromise with quality over quantity.

Rank well for Targeted Keywords:

If you rank for keywords like Page Rank, Alexa Rankings and Blogging related Tutorials in Google well then you will notice a dramatic boost in your Alexa Rankings.
As most of the people searching in Google for these keywords are Bloggers who will definitely have installed Alexa toolbar on to their browser. So you will get a great boost in your Alexa Ranking super fast.

Your Popularity also reflects your Blog Rankings:

If you are a popular Blogger with thousands of followers on Social Media then obviously your popularity also reflects your Blog rankings(Especially the Alexa Ranking). This is the reason why Pro Bloggers get good Alexa for their blogs in a very short time.

Brand your Business:

Branding is one of the key factor for any business. If you work with a proper strategy on your business and attain a good branding things can go viral in a very short time which obviously boost your Alexa Rankings.
The best example for this is Pinterest. Pinterest has gone viral over the whole web soon after their launch. If you come up with unique stuff then it can go viral very easily.

Hire a Good Network which can Boost your Alexa Rankings:

You cannot do everything by yourself. I would highly recommend you to hire some person/network who has already done some exceptional work previously. This will certainly boost your Blog/Website Alexa Rankings fast.

Conclusion:

If you have good traffic you should have a good alexa rankings as well but that cannot be true always. You must focus on the things which I mentioned above in order to boost your Alexa Rankings.

How to Comment on Blogs and Why?

  • The title is very simple and little funny, isn’t it? How to comment on blog? 

But trust me this is a serious post about commenting on blogs. First, let me answer the question why you will comment on other blogs?
  1. You have to comment on blogs to express your thoughts after reading the post. It is the primary cause.
  2. Mostly you will comment on the blogs that are in your niche. So these comments will show your expertise on that topic.
  3. By commenting you can build quality backlinks for your blog.
  4. You should comment on blogs to get targeted traffic to your money site.
  5. Commenting on high page rank and authority blogs can increase your search ranking. It will be very effective to get organic traffic from search engines.
  6. By commenting on other blogs and by participating on the comment threads you can stay updated always.
These are the most common causes of commenting on other blogs.
Now, I will discuss about the right way of commenting on blogs. It is important to know the right way of commenting because if you don’t know this most probably you will counted as a spammer and your reputation will decrease.   You should follow the authorised way to your self branding purposes and to increase your traffic.

Types of comments you should avoid:

  1. One word/Two word comment: While commenting in a blog take your time. Write slowly minimum one paragraph. One word/two words comments like “thank you” “nice post” etc are most common spammy comments. These types of comments will ruin your reputation.
  2. Comment without reading the post: Read the article before commenting on it. It is not waste of time. Be honest while commenting. Avoid commenting on blogs without reading the articles.
  3. Attacking comments: You are commenting to express your thoughts and to build your blog’s traffic. You are not commenting to quarrel with other bloggers. A most common picture on the blog comments is attacking comments. Avoid those for the sake of your own money blog. It is more important for a blogger to build friendship and good relation with other bloggers than building links.
  4. Comments full of grammatical errors or spelling mistakes:  After reading a post write comment calmly. Carefully check and recheck the spellings and grammatical sides of your comment. Then hit on the publish button.
  5. Comment without reading the previous comments: Before commenting on a post read all other previous comments. Participate in the discussion rightly. If you don’t read previous comments most probably your comment will not add value to that post.
  6. Self Promoting Comments: Avoid these types of comments.  Most of the bloggers and new marketer do this wrong commenting and ruin their reputation. Remember while commenting, you are not here to promote yourself, you are here to post a well judged and informative comment.
  7. Without name comment: Some bloggers don’t use their name while commenting. Instead of it they use their blogs keyword. It is a very bad practice I think. You can build your links on various sites (example- Directory, Press release etc) using your keywords. So on blog comment , use your actual name or blog nick name.

Tips to post comment in right way:

You can follow these tips to add value by commenting and get your desired result:
  1. Post a long and informative comment. Your comment must be relevant to the topic and must be a helpful one.
  2. Before posting a comment you can research 15 minutes to get updated information of the topic.
  3. You can solve any problems of other commenter's on the thread.
  4. If there is an opportunity to add picture on comments, you can use it. This picture will be visible to the readers easily. It is called “Pinterest Method” of driving traffic through commenting. But for god’s sake, don’t use irrelevant and disturbing pictures. 
  5. Be honest while commenting. If you disagree with author, post it in a nice tone. Describe wisely with reference why you are not agreeing with him on that point.
  6. You can ask questions. You can answer questions of any other commenter’s on the thread
  7. You can share your personal experience on that topic. People like to read personal experiences of bloggers.
  8. Sense of humour is a wealth. If you have it, use it wisely on the blog comment.
  9. Try to comment early. For this you can subscribe popular blogs.
  10. Add helpful links on your comments.
You should not comment just for backlinks. Try to help other bloggers by your blogging knowledge. There is a quote of famous motivational speaker Zig Zigler “You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” It is very true for bloggers too. You will get everything you want, if you can help people really.

Reduce your Blog Bounce Rate by 60-90% with this Quick Tweak

Recently one of my dear Facebook friends(Aqib Shahzad) shared a post with me regarding reducing the bounce rate of the blog. The article was incredible and I implemented the same on my blog.Surprisingly my bounce rates were dropped from 80% to 30% in couple of days, which is a remarkable change.
If you don't know, a bounce is when a visitor lands on your blog post and leave your blog right after reading the first post without moving to the next post is considered as bounce.The total number of views to the views which are bounces is considered as bounce rate. 
Generally blogs like this one have higher bounce rate as most of the visitors lands on a blog post and reads it then leaves the blog. Lower the bounce rate the better. Again bounce rate also depends on the niche of the blog. Though Google has quoted that they don't consider bounce rate as a factor in rankings, they might consider this in future for sure to filter good trusted websites.

Quick Tweak to Fix Bounce Rate:

There are many traditional ways to reduce bounce rates like decreasing the page load time, interlinking the blog posts and many others. But, in this post I am going to share a quick tweak to the Google Analytics code which can reduce your bounce rate dramatically.

How the Normal Google Analytics Code Looks Like:

If you have installed Google Analytics code for tracking the visitors count then below is how the code looks like
<script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script>

Modified Analytics Code:

The below is tweaked code which will dramatically reduce your bounce rate by 60-90%.
<script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

setTimeout(function() {
window.onscroll = function() {
window.onscroll = null; // Only track the event once
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'scroll', 'read']);
}
}, 5000);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script>
Note: All you have to do is change XXXXXXX with your Google Analytics ID which you can find easily from the original code.

The below is a screenshot of the Analytics Report before and after implementing the Tweak: 

How it Works? 

Google Analytics wait's till the second event is triggered, that means unless the visitor clicks on other page of your site the visit will be considered as bounce.

What did we do to the code?

We triggered the actual code and did some modification for a fair measure of bounce rate.This code considers only those visitors who left the site within the first 5 seconds.We also added one more parameter to the code, i.e if a visitor scrolls down to read the webpage the visit will no more be considered as bounce.

Final Words:

Google Analytics official blog has confirmed that we can adjust the bounce rate to our need and analyse the performance of the site/blog.You can tweak the above adjusted code as well and change the delay time for your own needs.

How to Write SEO Friendly Blog Posts to Stand out in Google Search Results

In the past days, low quality keyword-rich contents could get ranked well with less effort. In fact, following spam methods, one could be successful very easily. But now the search engines are growing smart. They intend to show only relevant results on their search engines. Concerning about the matter, the search engine sensation ‘Google’ is rolling out many algorithm updates regularly. They started to filter their search results from December, 2000 but I think the most significant year for them is 2013. Till 19 August, 2013 the ‘Panda’ and ‘Penguin’ updates were effectively rolled out to hit upon website results with low quality contents and spam backlinks.
But in 20th August the same year, a new Google algorithm update ‘Hummingbird’ tingled all the search results. After every 3 or 4 months, a new update reveals to filter search results. It is almost unbelievable that many popular sites lose approx 90%-100% of their traffic instantly just because of these algorithm changes. So, the question is how to do proper SEO to prevent algorithm updates of all time? When it is about blog posts, how should we optimize these? I am actually not a search engine expert but I will advise to go naturally. Here I will focus on the major areas of blog posts that should be naturally optimized to beat Google updates.

The Major 7 Areas Where Blog Posts Need to Be Improved For Better Ranking Preventing Google Algorithm Updates

The Google webspam team intends to finish up spam and black hat tricks from their search engine. So, it would be 100% safe to naturally do a blog posting. The algorithm changes are to aware all the optimizers that quality matters. So, these tactics should be applied to cut a good result still doing a little SEO:

1.Proper Keyword or Niche Selection: 

To get ranking, first of all we have to concentrate on the keyword. Again the relevancy matters, the keyword has to be according to your site niche. Because Google avoids irrelevant contents as well. As an example, if you have a technology based blog, generally there would be news about tech, computer, internet, freeware etc. A technology site with news and updates of health, meditation seems really irrelevant. That is certainly going to be punished by Google. So, make sure you choose a proper niche for your blog post. And for getting relevant keyword suggestions, you could use the keyword research tools. The keyword competitiveness has to match your site authority and page rank. A high competitive keyword would work effectively on a blog with high page rank and domain authority. But if you choose a high competitive keyword for your new blog having less authority and page rank, I would say, it is such as waste of time.

2.Keyword Rich Content Title: 

The best place to targeted keywords is content title. Here you should try to include your keywords with keeping the title click worthy. It should be attractive enough to force readers to click on it as well as keyword rich. So, this type of title will fulfill your two purposes. First purpose: It will be looked like a great content for readers not for search engines. Second purpose: For being keyword included, it will help you to rank for your specific keyword. And it will be helpful if we could place the keyword at the beginning of the title if possible.
Title is the crucial factor and the amount of traffic you get to your blog via search engines or social media is highly dependent on your Title of the post.Make sure its well optimized and cachy to draw users attention.The ideal number of characters in a title is 70-80.

3.Writing Quality Content:

 It always seems as a proverb that ‘Content is King’. I also believe in it because high quality contents are earnestly welcomed by search engines and readers. Do you know that sometimes a great content without optimization could rank for competitive keywords? However, it depends on domain authority but it is really possible. That’s why we should be focused on the quality. If you could produce a content with both quality and optimization, it is sure to get ranking ASAP.

4.Meta Tags For Search Engines:

 Meta tags are the elements that help the search engines to know what the content is. There are two important tags ‘Meta Title and Meta Description’. There is a third one name ‘Meta Keywords’, but this one is now avoided by all search engines. The first two are must but I think, providing more information than required is not a bad practice. So, if we provide all of these threes, it will be great. Please keep in mind the Meta Title should contain less than 60 characters and Meta Description should contain less than 160 characters. Because these are the Meta character limits whose support in almost all search engines. One important thing that we have to include our keywords both in Meta Title and Meta Description. There is no limit for Meta Keywords but it is effective to have only 2 or 3.
Meta Description for search is a must factor to rank well in search engines for targeted keywords.I would recommend you to use 200 characters for meta description.

5.Maintain The Safe Keyword Density: 

It is a common fault where we always fall. Some people believe that using keywords again, again and again will boost his keyword ranking. But after Google updates, these types of work will be looked like keyword stuffing or keyword spamming. In a result, the site could get a penalty or decrease in his ranking. So, we must maintain a safe keyword density and it should be between 2%-3%. Instead of using a keyword many times, we can use synonyms which are called LSI keywords. These keywords will make the content delightful to read and however, it helps to rank for many keywords.

6.Optimize Images: 

Images are one of the best SEO elements where we can safely place a keyword. In the image Alternative Tag or ALT Tag, we should include keywords and also maintaining a quality. That will make the image search engine optimized which would be a great advantage for SEO.

7.Use of Heading Title Tags:

 In SEO content, we can get the highest advantage from the heading tags like H1, H2, H3 etc. But, we should learn perfectly how to use it. Just divide your content into paragraphs and make titles with H1, H2, H3 etc. And don’t forget to include keywords in the heading. Because the search engines give the important most to the H1 and H2 heading title tags. So, the larger contents will be easy to read, the readers will be able to learn which part of the content provide which types of information. But make sure, you use only one H1 tag because there is a limit for having one H1 for one page. But you can use H2-H6 tags for multiple times. But for keeping quality, it is recommended to use the minimum number of heading tags.

Final Words About Writing SEO Blog Post:

A successful blogger always leads the natural quality of writing SEO blog post. So, my advice is, first think about quality and then do SEO. Because the content will be read by human readers. So, always care about your readers not about search engines. If your content could make your readers happy, it will be enough to impress the search engines. And that is the key to beat all Google updates.

You might have been sleeping under a rock if you didn't hear yet about Empower Network.Many people love it, many people hate it and many others will create negative review in order to sell their own products. But in this review, I'll give you my opinion, based on my experience of internet marketing so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not this would be a good fit for you.

Watch the Detailed Review in the Video below:

Empower Network – The Founders:

David Wood and David Sharpe are two icons in the home-business industry.But they both have very impressive rags to riches stories.

David Wood was living in a van in Hawaii in 2009, after 7 years of failure in his multiple network marketing ventures. He started again but this time...online. Maybe it was an idea who`s time has come but 90 days later, he rose to an income of 30,000$ per month residual and have went to even bigger heights over the next 2 years.He built business entirely through blogging since he didn't have the money to invest in any other way of marketing online.

David Sharpe was homeless at age 16 and was addicted to drugs.
After recovery programs he then became a construction worker building an MLM business on the side. He also got involved with MyLeadSystemPro and by leveraging paid advertising and direct-response marketing he was able to rise to the same status of fame as David Wood.Their problem was that even though they were having success, most of the people who bought from them didn't.

The biggest problems that people had with building a business online was :
  • A great amount of time spent on « setting up » stuff
  • Complicated technical skills had to be learned (html, ftp,etc)
  • Low Commissions
  • Lack of internet sales psychology know-how(direct-response)
  • Sales video that doesn't convert etc
So they have created what is now known as Empower Network that was designed to be a solution that combine David Wood's blogging business model and the direct-response(capture page and sales video) of David Sharpe.It was made for people to be able to make more money faster than if they did it on their own.
In the past 2 years, this system has generated  over 75$ million in commissions for their affiliates and is now in more than 100 countries around the world.
