Bing Rises as Google Biggest Competition

Bing is really gaining its momentum as a potential competitor to the Google search Engine in getting most searches from USA as the numbers of Bing users users have been increasing at a great rate compared to the other search Engines which shows that Bing may be the biggest competitor to Google as it owns over 20% of the  searches made in USA which indicates that the leading search engine Google still dominates with the most searches made on the internet. The growth of Bing is very promising as was at no position to compete with Google as of today Bing is nowhere to compete with Google, but at a promising position.

 

When it was first launched in 1 June 2009 as Live search it wasn't successful as planned by Microsoft which caused them to replace the normal Live search with Bing which was a bit smarter as it was a great change that was brought by Microsoft.
Looking at Bing's so much success, we have to ask much on whats was the key strategy that was made by Bing it rising from being a failed search engine into being a leading search engine after Google. The Vice president of Bing Search team Derrick Connell has confirmed that the secret of Bing was to simply display the best  search results compared to the Google Search Engines as they are bringing some best improvements compared to Google which has made many internet users to use Bing instead of Google.

Bing has gone from being a joke, because seriously it was not treated or respected when its was launched as it was the result of a failed live search engine by Microsoft and today has become the second best. The upcomming windows 10 software is expected to have the Bing's data-crunching software technolgy intergrated in its Software as confirmed by Seattle Times on their website.
This shows that as a blogger or a webmaster should take a huge consideration into the bing search engine as it is increasing in popularity and works together in hand with the Yahoo search engine to bring quality search results to it users. This merge also brought an Advertising service known as media.net which is the closest competitor to the Google Adsense advertising network. Like Adsense media.net is very strict when it comes to approvals as they have some polices that helps manage approval, for sites with more than 1000 daily pageviews get easily approved as they are looking foward to overcome Google Adsense in the near future.

Companies have joined hands with Bing to start selling Ads using its advertising network which is not really expensive to use and it has been a great source of traffic for many blogs after Google in providing quality search traffic. It is also used by Ajaxsurf as we have registered ealier this year on the Bing webmasters tools to get our site on their Index.
Bing is growing into by a great rate and I would motivate that you submit your site to their webmaster tools and you will really love getting traffic from them. Suppose you got any questions and information regarding this post please feel free to submit to us on the comment box below.

The Best SEO power tool

When looking at the secret by Ankit Singla he made his reference to his SEO success to be on page SEO which focuses more on the post content instead of off page SEO which has a lot to do with Social Media and backlinks, the question that you may ask is why does a blog get to be famous simply by using on Page SEO as the best method of increasing search traffic? well the answer is simple because on page SEO is the primary optimization method which search Engines will use to rank a blog. Maybe you might have noticed the rank of Ajaxsurf on search as the site has a rank of zero since we are currently using a sub domain but we are topping the search results and have got thousands of visitors coming into the site from search engines .

Working on SEO Experiments

SEO experiments is "Blogger newbies" do according to the statement that was made by the Ankit Singla of Bloggertipstricks as he said that he also did the so called SEO experiments which did not work for him as they seemed to be a waste of time for him.
SEO experiments are actually good for new bloggers as they will help them position their blogs the right way which will benefit them into successful blogging, but for experienced bloggers the use of tools and experiments is just a waste of time and money because it takes away the time that you would have used for something better.
The Use of SEO tools are not very bad at all as they can also help increase the rank of your site and the loved tool is the Google Keyword planner which is recommended by many webmasters.

The Affiliates that boost the Blog revenue

Well blogging is not just done for the fun of doing it but will require some efforts to be put by the Blogger to make money online, according to the interview with Ankit Singla done by BlogIdeas , Ankit Singla mentioned Affiliates as the best way in which a blogger will get more trust from the readers as these hosting companies have years of experience and success which means that having a relationship with them will boost your site.

Is it Good to use Black Hat SEO in a White Hat way

Using Blackhat SEO has become a major thing on Search Engines as it has made search engines to take a stand towards this type of SEO bringing very dangerous algorithms which has caused many sites on the internet to suffer in both traffic and Google rank, blackhat SEO can bring good results but the consequences of it are very hard to cope with as the ban is usaully long term which means that all your hardwork will vanish in no time until the search engine reconsiders your site.

The Secret in Affiliate Networking

Making money using affiliate programs has been very hard for many Bloggers around the world as it happened that the readers don't get to trust the blog author as they should resulting in the blog getting affected as  a result of low subscriptions and income. As a blogger the only way to make money from your blog is none other than getting the readers into trusting your site more.
As a blogger I have found it hard to make money online for about one year  until I had to restart my blogging career and build a much better interface for my blog readers which was strongly built with trust and lasting promises.

Google Phantom Algorithm Revealed

Maybe you have heard or noticed about the Google Phantom Algorithm Which has caused many sites to drop down from their higher ranking positions, The phantom update has come in a very unexpected way whereby some blogs and news sites have referred to it as the "Ghost" Algorithm because of the damage it had caused whereby many sites on the internet had to drop from their current pagerank to very low ranks within a very short amount of time.

This Algorithm is not similar to the Panda or Penguin updates as it is not fighting any internet spam or Search Engine Manipulation but this update is to is very much based on the type of content that is being produced by the blog itself and on this article you will learn how to avoid getting hit by any algorithm update and how you can survive these updates without getting your affected.
According to MBT they have confirmed that mostly sites with a lot of  "How to..." articles are mostly affected by the Google Phantom update which has affected sites like eHow and Wikihow who depend very much  on the "How to" type of articles as Google has made this move following the Mobile Algorithm which was introduced in April 2015.

The Worst thing that has happened to the how to sites is nothing more than a loss of traffic being snatched away by Google as they have recently introduced the knowledge graph which has made the content of certain sites to get featured whenever a user searches using a "How to" keyword, the Google knowledge graph will give the answer to the reader without giving the reader an option to visit the site. This had been a very huge loss for this sites because Google is simply stealing the content of these site without allowing the visitor to go to these sites.

Is Google on War with eHow, Hubpages and Wikihow
This is the main question that one should ask because Google first introduced the Google Structured and the Google graph which took traffic and also affected many of the related sites causing them to lose thousands of  their readers. And know with the Google phantom secret Algorithm being introduced with the aim to boost the Google graph  by destroying those sites and causing them to rank very low on Google in such that they will lose their reputation.

How Did this Update Affect Big Sites
~Many Huge Websites Have Lost a lot of Money.
~Websites lost more than 20% traffic overnight
~The Algorithm came by surprize

How to Recover Googles Secret Updates
Google is also on the same business as your site is and you got to know that you are competition to them even though your site is dependant on Google and Other search engines but with Google as the leading search engine then that is the reason why Google gets its respect.

When looking at the recent updates that were made by Google in the past 5 years is the Google Panda Algorithm which was introduced to rank web content by it quality and on 2012 the Penguin Algorithm was invited to reduce all web spam that was used by some websites to bolster their rank in Google and from there was the biggest algorithm which was the well known mobilegeddon which was based ranking mobile friendly sites to rank better compared to unfriendly sites.

•  Get a Mobile Template for your Blog

Since Google has introduced the mobile update algorithm which many bloggers were were ready for since it was announced by Google in December 2014 which gave many sites a chance to avoid getting hit by this algorithm update,  but they were not ready for the Google Phantom Algorithm which caused many sites to get hit by the algorithm as even today some bloggers have been questioning as the rank of many websites has decreased rapidly not only on big sites but the smaller sites have also lost big time.

• Identify the Penalty that has Hit your Site.

If it happens that your blog gets a huge decrease in its search Engine readers then probably your site is suffering from a possible penalty. My site to was sufferring from the Google penguin penalty early in when it was created in 2014 as Fantasy and Luxury which was a celeb Magazine, the site sufferred due to it lack of unique posts and images because by that time I hardly got time to write quality posts.
The only way I got to survive the penalty was by removing all the posts that were not unique from the site in such that the site was left with less than 10 posts which was the hardest time for our site but unfortunately we were able to post as many posts as possible in such that we were able to get up to 30 posts a month which really boosted the effectiveness of our site.

• Write Quality Content

The quality content by a blog plays a very huge role in the promoting blog to search engines and advertisers who can play a huge contribution into increasing the effectiveness of your blog to the readers in the internet.

Content is the primary ranking factor of Search Engines and probably no site will ever lose it rank just because of the content it is producing. You have to work hard to produce quality content and you will really the positive outcome that will be produced by that content.

• Don't focus too much on SEO

The use of SEO plays a great role in boosting the rank of a post in search engines but with some recent algorithms which we introduced by Google and other search engines SEO has lost it power in such that some sites have been banned because of using Search Engine Optimization to rank their sites because google and other search Engines got their own sorts of webmasters tools as they originally hate any form of Web spam which involves link parties and so on.
Yes your site must be fully optimised for certain keywords and searches on Google but the way in which our sites run should not affect the bots by using a lot of keywords.

• Add Optimized Images to Blog posts

Images play a very great role in improving the rank of a post in the search engines as it was mentioned in one of our blog posts about on page and Off Page SEO tips for Blogger.
Search Engines Love the visibility of Images on a site but they don't like images that are not given a title or a alt title because search engines find it hard to read images, The images in your post content should at least have a title that is related to the post content and have an alt tag which will help it rank well on Google images.

How to Automatically Remove Spam links From Blogger/Blogspot Comments

Spam on The internet has became very popular as many websites and blogs have a comment box in which spamers have found as a big opportunity in which they can share spam links in the hope that their websites and blogs will get to rank very much better on the internet which I would say it does not work on Blogger because any of the comment links submitted to blogger are mostly no follow, this is not my setting but Google itself.

Spam is  everywhere just as fraud is, having a huge website is quite a problem when you don't have a proper spam management for your blog as most readers get to post spam links or any un-authorised links which may affect the image of your blog to the eyes of the loyal readers.

In August 2010 Blogger introduced an automatic spam detection which allowed blogs to automatically remove comment links from the comment box which is probably good news for any professional Blogger who is having a problem with fighting spam on Blogger. In this post I will show you both ways to fight comment spamming which is either through the normal blogger comment management and also by using some simple html codes within the Template source code, both of these ways are going to control the type of comments appearing on your blog whereby most linky comments will be reverted to draft or will have to get moderated before they can appear on the blog.

Remove Spam Comments Using Blogger Spam Filter

This the one that I currently use to filter spam comments published by some of the blog readers and also by the Google bot to help control the spam comments automatically.
Using the normal Blogger Spam Filter will reduce any available spam activity on your blog by not publishing spam comments, the spam filter is not very smart as you are but it will learn from the decisions that your make as a blogger

Please Note : The Tips below will Automatically Delete/Hide all links in Blogger Comments

Remove Spam Comment links Using jQuery codes

Removing spam links in Blogger using jQuery is the best option that I will recommend for any blogger as it will not only hide the link but it will also remove it from the blog within seconds after the comment was published.

STEP 1 : Go to Blogger dashboard and select Template>>>Edit Html to open your your Template Code

STEP 2 : Press the "CTRL" + "F" keys and search for this code <body> , Just below It paste the code below.

<!--Stop Blog Comments -->
< script>$('.comment-content a[rel $=nofollow]').replaceWith(function()
{return ($(this).text());}); </script> <!--Stop Blog Comments -->

STEP 3 : Save your template and check your blog comment box if it worked properly.

Use CSS to Remove Spam Blog Comment links

Using CSS to handle spam links is not really effective as it will not remove the spam links instead it will hide them from showing on your blog but the bad thing about the use of CSS is that it will not remove the comment spam links.

Step 1 : On your Blog Dashboard, Go to Template and select Edit HTML.

Step 2 : Search for this code  ]]></b:skin> and just above it paste the code below.

.comment-content a {
display: none;
}

Step 3 : Save your Template and you will be done that easily.


Conclusion

In the options that I have shared in this post I will recommend that you add them all to your blog or just add the JQuery trick instead of using all because it works very well even without using all of the available options .

Suppose you got any questions regarding this topic please feel free to submit them on the comments box below, if your codes worked well please tell us how the spam comments were removed from your blog and we will get back to you soon.
