2.       Counting Your Fake Followers
You cannot ignore that you add or count your fake followers account in the press release, speeches, share of webinars that you post or share in your blog.

3.       Auto-Tweets

You tell people about quality and you tend to shift the focus from that lesson. You keep your auto-tweets switched on 24 hours a day, even on weekends and on the holidays.

4.       To Increase the EdgeRank Score

You might be posting fill in the blank question on the Facebook pages to raise the EdgeRank score. Do you think that it is a justified way to engage your audience at your website?

5.       Tagging in Images and Videos

You keep on tagging people on the posts in Facebook. It might be images or may be videos that you share directly from the blog or from your personal places. You keep on tagging people to those media contents just to make your followers visit them and forcefully engage them in turn to increase the EdgeRank score.

6.       Increasing the Klout Score

You might be going on increasing the Klout score with the use of simple way to thank or retweeting the post of those followers who favorite one post of yours.

7.       Retweeting

9.       Copying From Your Competitors

You often do this. You copy the service description of your competitor or some other bloggers, which you find good and share them on your own profile. However, you forget the fact that someone on the Web is watching your actions.

10.   Email Lists

You often register yourself in the to an email list to receive free stuff and them opt-out immediately after copying the information to share them on your own blog.

Aha! So you have started feeling guilty and you are trying to close the tab to ignore the blog post shared here. However, people, stop using these wrong tactic as it will demoralize the value and won’t bring that essence back with which you have entered the blogosphere.

Concentrate on your audience from today and stop focusing on the increase of scores.

Penguin 2.0: Roadmap to Penguin Recovery



This guest post by Cole West will tell you the ways to have a steady Penguin recovery. You do not fear the Penguin updates all you need to follow the right SEO tactics to head for future benefits and enjoy a great traffic at your website.

What is Penguin 2.0?

On May 22, 2013, Google announced the launch of latest algorithm update, which is “Penguin 2.0” confirmed by the web spam team head, Matt Cutts.

Why Google every time updates its algorithm?

Most of us having this question in our mind - Why Google might be doing it for repeated number of times? 

Google changes its algorithm around 550-600 times in a year. While most of them are minor, but every few months it roll out a major search algorithmic update like Panda, Penguin etc, that affects the search results.

Google primarily concerns to help people provide better information on the web, so effective search engine optimization can make a site crawlable and make the pages easier and accessible.

How It Helps White Hat SEO And Black Hat SEO?

Those who are doing “white hat SEO” often enhance the usability of a website and create great content, make sites faster, which is better for both search engines as well as users, so doing good SEO can generate good marketing.

Black Hat SEO” customarily defined as tactics that used to acquire top searching rankings in an unethical manner. It refers to the use of aggressive SEO tactics and strategies and usually does not obey the search engine rules.

Some Black Hat SEO techniques are:

• Keyword Stuffing

• Invisible Text

• Doorway Pages

The main goal of Google is to help searchers to get websites that provide a better user experience in order to fulfill their information requirements. Therefore, Google will fight against the “spamming methodologies” and updates its algorithm in order to reward the good website (those who follow Google’s guidelines).

What is the Google Penguin2.0 updates designed to do?

It mainly targets on “spam on the web” and drop off the rankings of sites, which the algorithm distrust, violate the existing Google’s quality guidelines. In previous time, the update only targets the top-level pages and now it started to target the lower level pages of a site.

Penguin Affected Websites

SEO experts explained that latest penguin update 2.0 sought to let down the page ranks (PR) of websites that had duplicate content, paid links and poor user engagement. The websites, whose rankings are not affected, had a great valuable unique content and videos that aided users.It mainly focuses on link spam.

It targets on Advertorials: lets in paid advertising, which violates according to Google’s quality guidelines. If somebody pays for advertising or coverage, then the ads should not flow page rank.  

Google explain, “Page rank should not be sold or bought”. At the same time, Google will give higher importance in terms of page rank for authority websites detected which follow the genuine SEO strategies.

Is Penguin a Penalty?

According to Matt Cutts, “neither panda nor penguin is a manual penalty and also explained that panda was all about spam and penguin was set to tackle the stuff in the middle between the content and spam.

Therefore, getting a penalty means, you made a mistake and Google will penalize the site.

If rankings stepped down, does it sense that penguin has affected the page? - For this question, the answer is, it may or may not.

It is not made that all decreased rankings (PR) can affect by the penguin2.0. Many branded companies are employed a form of search engine optimization. In some cases, your PR can be diminishing just as your competitor doing work hard to get their sites in top place.

However, some of the links that used to raise the page rankings are no more doing so. This is because a few days back Google took action against the link sellers. Right now, there is no value for all their outgoing links, which got devalued.

How Do You Recover From Penguin Penalty?

• Low Quality Profile Link:

The sites we use to sign up for joining community or discussion must have high quality along with relevancy. As making too much low quality link profiles can be a major reason for the penguin penalty.

How do you overcome the problem?

It is the time to remove all those low quality links. With the help of some online website analyzer tools like “a hrefs” and SEOMOZ check the low quality back links from PR0 sites, low quality directories, etc. 

Find out the low quality links, make a list of these and send request to respective site webmasters to remove your back links from their sites. Once again, check your back links for existence. 

If they still exists after multiple attempts of request, then use Google disavow tool with contact request proofs to intimate Google not to give value those links.

Non-Relevant Links:

Getting back links from non-relevant sites, which are not associated with your niche, is also one reason for penalty.

How do you overcome the problem?

By using, the Google disavow tool remove all unrelated back links from non-relevant websites and try to get high and good quality back links from the relevant sites.

• Low Quality Contents:

Penguin 2.0 also penalizes the low quality contents in your site. What is a low quality content? It means having ’”copied or duplicate content, content mainly concerns on keywords, content missing and unauthorized contents”.

How do you overcome the problem?

Firstly, remove all the duplicate or copied content from your. Fill the missing content and write keyword focused contents. Make clear that you are having unique and original content on every single page of your site.

• Creating Unbalanced Back links:

With in the short period creating too many back links is also one of the factors for penalization. Therefore, without a reason creating a bulk back links can let you face penguin effect.

How do you overcome the problem?

Try to avoid creating too many back links in hacked websites, low quality websites, spam domains etc. Don’t use link-building software to create back links. So, try to get good and quality limited links from related quality niche sites.

Keyword Matching Anchor Text:

Penguin also penalizes sites, which are having too many back links that are centering on exact keywords with specific match anchor text.

How do you overcome the problem?

How Competitors Can Help You To Analyse Your Online Business Status?

One vital way in which a company can learn about itself is to analyse its position in relation to its competitors. Once you’re in the process of looking at competitors, there’s also a number of other ways in which they can help you and your business by examining what appears to be working for your competitors and how you can emulate that in your own business and marketing practices.

The kind of analytic tools offered up on the web give companies and marketers more data than ever that can be used to collate information about what works for a company, its competitors and how that can be transformed into action. A number of vital areas for analysis can yield a huge amount of useful strategic pointers to get a company out of a rut and motoring in a new direction.


Back links are a powerful indicator of the likelihood of a website being scored highly in search engine optimization  The number and quality of the sites from which hits have been received have a big impact on the way search engines rank websites when returning search results.

Finding out where your competitors’ back links are coming from can help you build your own back-linking strategy

By analyzing a competitor websites back links, it’s possible for you to understand where their web traffic is coming from and get a picture of what might be valuable for your company. If analysis identifies a number of high-value back link sites that aren't currently in your own portfolio, it can make sense to target these for inclusion of content to bring about increases in your own company’s search engine ranking.

Words are key

One of the ways in which companies build their search rank is through the selection of relevant keywords that customers and potential customers could click to find them online. The choice of those keywords can make the difference between getting seen by your customers and being passed by.

This is true, but your keywords do say a lot about you

Analyzing the keywords that your competitors are prioritizing in their strategies can give pointers to the kinds of words you should be targeting in your own online marketing activities. Although there may be some that don’t seem relevant to the type of consumer you’re targeting, they may have hit gold with keywords you haven’t prioritized that would be very relevant to your own activities if you chose them alongside others that are bringing you results.

Keep it simple

Of course, there are some very simple, low-tech ways in which you can keep an eye on your competitors. Back link analysis and keyword comparisons are relatively resource intensive, but not all comparison with competitors needs to be highly data driven. Things as simple as checking out competitors’ websites, blogs and other online activities can give a feel for the way in which they are engaging with their customers. 

One of the best things you can do to keep abreast of developments with your competitors is to sign up for their e-newsletter. Many companies now have mailing lists that regularly distribute information about their activities and this can give you a picture of what they’re doing and, more importantly, what they feel ready to share about their activities. This can help you keep a close eye on your place in the market and adjust your own strategies to take account of what is going on around you.

3.    Choose strong details and password - You have to choose a strong password and the login details when you sign up for the hosting account. As the hackers become smarter so do not set the default password to “admin”.

4.    Third-party plug-ins - WordPress helps to add a third party plug-ins to the blog, but you have to make sure that you update them regularly. If you have backdated info’s then you are going to give an invitation to the hackers. This plug-ins actually helps in Search Engine Optimization, social media, adding audio and video to the blog so that the readers kept engaged.

5.    Widgets - You can take advantage of the widgets and add an opt-in box to store the names of the website visitors and their email addresses. In order to maintain the strong relationship you have to keep in touch with them. You are also free to add the affiliate banners using the side widgets and make money from advertising other business products and services.

6.    Increasing the online visibility -You can register the blog on the Technorati blog by using relevant keywords and raise your online visibility so that it becomes easier to trace your blog.

7.    Use WordPress strategically - Do you know search engine actually love WordPress and thus they are going to attract many visitors to your website on the WordPress platform. So use it strategically in your business.

8.    Use the latest versions always - Upgrade the latest version of the WordPress to avoid the security loopholes. You may think to wait a week but before you plunge into it you have to teeth a lot of problems and that is noted and fixed by the WordPress developers.

Blogging through Pinterest: What’s The Dig?



The second largest referral network is Pinterest. If you are not familiar with this site, then let our blog help you to know at its best. It's guessed in 2011 that by 2012 Pinterest will turn up as the highest referral network. Now in 2013 it rocks!

Low tech spying is one such idea that helps to click the Pinterest better than any other social sites. You can learn so much by pinning for your site. To find the relevant information all you have to go to one of the photos that have been clicked or pin one of your own photos from your own site and then click on it to make it larger.

What You Can See In A Pinned Page Let Us Assess It For You:
 
  • Our blog WorldSEOEducation has their own pinboard and trust me over these four months we had a lot of Repin from our viewers.
  • My co-blogger and me, have witnessed three pins every day on an average.
  • People are quite interested to know about all the tactics of the SEO. In spite of the popular blogs, people want something easily understandable, and that’s what we do.
  • What’s more, we can see comments on our pinned page.


Visual Boards of Pinterest Changed the Way I Use Photos

Do you know when we started our boards on Pinterest, huge traffic started to come from it! Well, many of the pins were linked to odd photos and people have to be reminded why they actually pinned the photos. Therefore, we thought it to make easier for the pinners, so that they won’t have to remember all the time what it was. When it comes to writing a post, I make sure that the graphic is pin-friendly.

For Pinterest We Make Sure That the Photos Are Pinnable

Thinking of the graphics is the main aspect and over these four months, we have been working a lot on it. My co-blogger is particular about the selection of images. On Pinterest, we generally see a smaller image that helps in making the graphics somewhat legible when it is pinned and viewed.

We make sure that the graphic has been friendly just in case our followers pin it. We make the post visible enough so that the readers can read it thoroughly and pin it at the next moment. Well, you can say that we have become a Pinterest Pimp!

Pinners Can Easily Re-Pin Them

We use the Pinterest plug in Blogger.com called Pin It on your Pinterest. It helps us to attach a pin button to the bottom of a post and then write our own description and choose a photo that automatically appears when our followers click on the pin it button. We can delete the description given beforehand and write our own. 

Creating Boards That Will Work Magically

Pinspiration boards, you might be savvy with the term. You can create board of all kinds- like those on making money online, SEO, online business ideas, Infographics etc. Why you need to create separate boards?

Well, there are ample of good reasons to create such boards –
  • To gather information for the series of posts that we collected under a single board, say SEO. We might be sharing our blog posts or maybe the ones, which fascinates us. Like the hot SEO news on the Internet.
  • To source ideas for internet marketing which is the main theme of our blog.
  • To document our infographics done on various platforms and share them on the Pinboard to make our followers feel fascinated about the blogging and SEO in total.
Blogging through Pinterest serves one of the particular purpose and that is getting huge amount of traffic. This particular visual site enhances the reader’s visibility and compels them to check out the blog just with a single click. We have to take care that the images, which we post, is able to draw the crowd a thousand times more than the common social media platforms.

3 SEO Tactics That Can Ultimately Backfire


Guest Post By Anny Solway
 
Just a few years back it was very easy to throw together a quick website and get a great page rank on Google and other major search engines. You used to be able to create a site, write a few pages of quick content, and fill it with keywords. A simple site like this combined with a few easy SEO strategies used to be enough to get strong search engine results. Many sites were designed for search engine spiders crawling through pages to determine page rank, not for the people that would eventually stumble along the pages.

Spam and garbage-filled websites are an easy way to quickly turn off site visitors. In recent years, search engines have been changing their page ranking algorithms to place more of a priority on good content and decrease the amount of spam and garbage that show up in search engine results. This means that some SEO approaches may now hurt your ranking more than help. Here are a few strategies that could potentially do more harm than good.

Keyword Stuffing

Incorporating keywords throughout your website is an important SEO strategy. Taking the time to research the top keywords and search queries in your niche will go a long way in helping you create a site that is search engine friendly. However, some people take their keyword usage too far, and overstuff all of their written content with keywords. If you have used your keywords so frequently that it makes reading the content difficult, this is not a good use of SEO. The same principle applies when using awkward keyword phrases that stick out like a sore thumb in your text. Remember that good SEO is ultimately about balancing between what is good for search engines and what is good for potential readers of your site.

Article Writing

Promoting your website through submitting articles to other websites can be a great SEO strategy, but it can also backfire on you. The trend of quality over quantity applies here as well. A proper use of this strategy would be taking the time to build up a strong website, then writing thorough articles that would be a valuable resource to people in your niche or industry. This type of approach would actually be an excellent way to boost your SEO and help encourage more people to read your site at the same time. The wrong way to approach article writing is by writing hundreds of keyword filled, barely readable articles and submitting them to article directories with little to no quality standards. Writing poor quality articles for the sole purpose of boosting your page rank is not a good SEO strategy. It interferes with your most important end goal—having a good website with lots of regular visitors and a steady stream of new traffic.

Making SEO the Primary Focus of Your Website Design

SEO is definitely one of the more important things to consider when creating a website, but it is not your only priority. You do not want to allow your focus on SEO to take away from your other priorities. If your goal is to have a successful website, you need to focus on creating a good experience for your visitors. SEO will help you get people to visit your site, but they won't stick around if you do not have a well-designed site with good content. Use premium WordPress templates to create a strong website first. Then you can direct your focus using SEO strategies to build your site, like using keywords in your title tags, menus, URL and more. As long as your approach to SEO complements the quality of your site, rather than getting in the way of it, you shouldn't be worried.
