Social Bookmarking Is Actually A Great Way To Drive Targeted Traffic ToYour Blog

Generating traffic for your blog is a trouble pretty much every blogger has to deal with. You will find loads of programs online that claim to be able to get you more blog traffic but many of them provide nothing. There are great ways to get more traffic to your blog and in the following paragraphs we are going to be looking at social bookmarking as a way to get this traffic you need.

Most of these social bookmarking sites will be able to get you plenty of traffic just from the social sites you publish your posts to. The next thing that is good is you are creating backlinks for your site each time you bookmark one of these posts on the social bookmarking sites. And backlinks tend to be one of the main secrets to getting traffic from the search engines. And the more backlinks you get the higher your blog will normally rank within the search engines.

Although you want to become a member of a variety of sites, you also want to make sure your joining high page rank social websites as well. When it pertains to signing up for these Internet sites you may want to start with sites like Tumblr, Diggo and even facebook. But don't just stop there because you will find hundreds more Internet sites that you will be able to leave your link on. If you start off by just joining about 40 of these sites you will do pretty well. You'll find lists of these websites by just doing a search in the search engines. I ought to tell you that when you begin to set these up make sure you have a few hours to go through all of them.

Once you have joined these Internet sites the next thing you will want to do is to bookmark each and every post you make everyday. In the beginning you may find that this can take about 2 hours a day but in time you will be able to cut that down to about an hour or so. This method when done each day can give you an instant surge in your website visitors.

Something you really should consider are people who will actually go out and set up a number of social bookmarking sites for you and usually just charge about 5 to 10 dollars to do this for you. Obviously this will still leave you with being forced to login on a daily basis and post to the websites. You can actually find a number of programs online that will automatically post your blog posts on the social bookmarking sites for you. Ping. fm and only wire will be the two systems that can handle your blog posts. These programs will use your current login information from the social bookmarking sites you joined and automatically bookmark all your brand new blog posts.
If you really need to take your blog to the next level and begin acquiring more traffic this is one of the best ways to go about it. You should also remember that every time you make a post and bookmark that page you will be building 40 to 50 backlinks to your blog which will additionally help with your search engine ranking.

Tips to Reduce a Blog Loading Time

The loading speed of a site has big influence to the SEO of your blog and that is why I share this post to give you an idea on how you can reduce the time which your blog loads by giving some important SEO tools. In this post I will discuss some basic tips that will help you reduce your blog loading time and also bring you a huge increase in the traffic of your blog.

This has  been a factor that many bloggers is ignored by many Bloggers and to tell the truth I also did not give any special note on my blog loading time in a way that I would have a lot of images on my blog sidebar and I really did not know about the possible effects of using a heavy webpage until I discovered that my blog  loaded more slower than any other sites on the internet. When I learn about the loading time of my blog I discovered the importance of reducing the loading time of my blog.

How To Check Loading Speed Of a Blog or a website

I have shared some amazing tools below which can be very useful to track the estimated load time your blog has.

•GTmatrix

•Google Page Insights

•Pingdom Website Speed Test

The tools shared above will not reduce your blog's loading time but they will give you a estimation of your blog's loading time but the with the simple ways below you will learn how to reduce the loading time of your blog .

12 Approved ways to reduce a blog's loading time

1. Reduce the Amount of images on the template

The use of images on a website template has been the smartest way to make the a template more beautiful and attractive, even myself love to use images on my template but I am limited at some times to use very few images just because I fear that my blog loading time might be increased. Using a lot of images makes your template to look good but actually it will slow down your blog which may cause your blog to loose some of the most loyal readers.

2. Use a proper coded template

The coding of a template is what makes your blog to look unique and special compared to some other blogs, but such templates are mostly not approved when trying to analyse the loading time of a blog , so please avoid the use of over designed templates and most importantly watch for JavaScript and JQuery  of the template because it may cause unnecessary template data increase which will cause your blog to load very slow.

3.  Too Much Use Of JavaScript

JavaScript can be found in many template widgets which and also on Advertisements by Adsense, Media net , Chitika, bidvertiser etc . Which use java script to record the performance of your blog and the Ads placed on the template. JavaScript is probably a very heavy coding which should not be overused but should be used at a suitable quantity.

4. Avoid Popup Widgets, Ads and Subscriptions

Pop ups and Pop under widgets are the most time consuming widgets as the use a lot of Javascript and they as well alter with the loading of your blog. Pop ups and pop unders can help a lot in increasing blog followers and subscribers but they are limited because they are mostly considered as a spam in some search engines and believe when I say they are prohibited by many browsers and search engines. You can use them for a short time period or just add a widget on the sidebar instead.

5. Compress Javascript files

There some Java widgets which are must haves in a blog which should not be removed but also be compressed using services like the online CSS compressor or JavaScript compressor, It is simply the best tool

6.  Avoid using Too Much Widgets

Using too much widgets may be tempting but it is not a very good idea because they will introduce a lot of javascript which will as well cause your blog to load very slowly. So please use only the widgets that you want to use and avoid the use of unnecessary widgets because they will probably cost your blog time.

7. Have a limited number of images

It is very tempting to use images in a blog post because images are also a good source of SEO when it comes to Google but it can negatively affect your blog so it is important that you try by all means to reduce your site load time. In blog posts your must at most use less than 5 images but if you are having a gallery blog that will require you more the 10 images per post then you should use a template with a navigation.

8. Reduce image size

Apart from reducing the number of the images used but also take note of the size which is used by the images

9. Don't use a lot of Advertising services

A lot of Advertising services can make your blog to look like an advertising websites or spammy sites which has a lot of Advertisements , so please try to be careful about how you place your Ads
because it may have side effects as I have mentioned in the start that they use a lot of Javascript.

10. Have at most ten posts per page

Your blog home page also needs a better ranking on search engines so it is very important that your blogger blog loads faster and that can be done by reducing the loading time of the blog.

11. Avoid broken links

Broken links are not only bad for SEO but they are also bad when it comes to the loading time of your blog, so I will motivate that you reduce the broken links  especially on your front page and you will see a positive outcome.

12. Improve your site rendering

When talking about the rendering of a site we refer to how fast will a browser convert images or template widgets to appear on the screen, this can be altered in a SEO friendly way by adding a code just under  <head> 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset= utf-8" >

This code will cause any internet browse to quickly convert you webpage which is also used by top blogs like MOZ  .


CONCLUSION
I have tried these ways which have performed very great results for my blog in the past years and I will greatly motivate you to give something special to your website by reducing the loading time. Happy Blogging

How to Make a Link using html

I have decided to show you a simple way that you can use an  html code to create a link with the use of <a> tags and the closing </a> tag , A text is usually placed in between the tags in which the link will be on. This tutorial is very simple and I believe that many bloggers know how to use it but I have found out that some bloggers have been sharing some links in the comment box using the old linking style which is probably out of style.

Old linking strategy~  The link is written in an informal way, which is is not SEO at all but it only
appears to be a text to search engines.

HTML linking system~ The html linking strategy is the best SEO linking strategy which appears as both link and word , this type of linking is available on blogger, Wordpress text boxes but they are not available on the comments text box and also in most text boxes which means that it is very crucial that every blogger knows this trick.

The old linking strategy is probably a very bad part of SEO as it cannot be read by seach engines but instead it will appear as a text.
The example below will show you how to create a link using the html <a> and </a> tags.
Suppose you write a text :

My best SEO blog with the best blogger tutorials, SEO tips and is  Ajaxsurf .

To link any text with a webpage you will have to replace the text with The code as shown  below:

My best SEO blog with the best blogger tutorials, SEO tips and is  <a href="http://www.fantasysurf.blogspot.com">Ajaxsurf</a>.

The name Ajaxsurf has been replaced by the html code and then pasted in the html code between the tags which will create a SEO friendly link that will better rank you in search results. This method is currently the best formal way to create links and it can work also with embedding images, files, video and many other type of documents.


The use of links have been the most important technique for Google page ranking which was founded by the Co-founder of Google Larry Page who later invented the importance of page rank, so the use of links in a site is very important whether it is an exernal, internal or inbound it will have an effect on your site page rank.
