Can Changing a Theme Change Search Engine Positions?
September 29, 2010 by wpautoblog
Filed under Autoblog Plugin
If you make major changes to your web site or blog, can that dramatically affect your search engine positions and rankings negatively or positively?
Recently I changed the theme a web site I own, and I realized how much work it was in hindsight after the fact. It took a lot of planning and preparation, and believe it or not it’s still not completely done! It’s kind of like remodeling part of your house, once you get things moved around you find other things you’ve neglected over time that you need to take care of. Move your furniture and you find lots of things you haven’t seen in a long time. Next thing you know your washing the drapes and painting the walls. I found a need to create some new graphics for certain pages to blend better with the theme, and I had to completely re-organize the category structure for my posts (something I should have done a long time ago).
If you’ve been building a blog or web site for a long time, then you’ve become established in the search engines and you’re probably used to a certain amount of search traffic coming in each and every day. What you may not have thought about is how minor (and major) adjustments could affect that. Google has evolved to the point where it can make almost instant adjustments to search rankings. Case and point – a friend had problems with his WordPress blog, and all the pages were displaying an error. Within 48 hours all his search engine listing were that very error. That may seem pretty quick, but in fact I believe it happened the first 24 hours. I fixed his entire web site 3 days after the error first took over his site, and now (a week later) the error (in Google) is still the description for his home page listing in Google.
In my case, I changed my entire theme, changed all my categories, and then I changed the SEO plugin I was using – and in turn changed the title of my blog and many of my blog pages. The next day my incoming searches dropped by nearly 80%. I decided to ride it out (for 4 days) and see if things improved, and they didn’t. So I switched back to my old blog title and old SEO plugin. Two days later, traffic was is still down 80%. I lost the 8 additional listings under my main one in SERP’s, but my PageRank, Alexa ranking, backlinks – everything is the same.
So, let this be a lesson to both me and to you. Changing your theme can change your search engine listings, but more importantly making even the smallest change to your blog can affect search rankings. Changing tag or category structure, changing permalinks, changing SEO plugins, changing your blog title – all can DRAMATICALLY affect your search listings! My advice to you would be to avoid major changes all at once, do them one at a time so you know (if there is a problem) which change affected it. Also be aware that if any changes affected your search positions negatively, it may take Google ten times longer to change back to your original listings.

SEO Blogging Software – WordPress Plugins and Themes Are a Powerful Combination
September 29, 2010 by wpautoblog
Filed under Autoblog Plugin
There’s little doubt that blogs are the shining stars in the search engine optimization firmament. And some of the best SEO blogging software comes in the form of WordPress plugins and themes designed to let you maximize your SEO rankings. I have a few favorites.
If you want a comprehensive package of SEO blogging software, you can’t do better than the All in One SEO WordPress Plugin.
This particular piece of SEO blogging software is a true joy, because I can use it to insert titles, keywords, and descriptions to every single WordPress post or page of my website. With that capability, I can really improve my chances of getting noticed by the big search engines.
You will like the All in One SEO Package’s Rewrite Titles feature, because it will show the SEO optimized titles of you posts ahead of the title of you blog in your title tags, so if your post titles are keyword heavy, those keywords will be noticed by Google and friends.
As SEO blogging software goes, I find the All in One pack to be very user friendly. The plugin will create a new options page on your site, where you enter your meta keywords, your site’s title and description.
You can then customize keywords and descriptions for your individual posts, and choose those articles which you choose to have listed ahead of your site’s name in the page title, as mentioned above.
Speaking of Google, another of the SEO blogging software must-haves from WordPress is Google Sitemaps. Use this to instantly enhance your WordPress blog with a sitemap and the plugin will take it from there. It will keep Google informed of any updates to your blog and you can even adapt it to work with Yahoo’s search engine as well.
Another of my recommendations for SEO blogging software is the WordPress SEO themes. The WordPress SEO themes are available in customizable basic formats with either two or three columns.
They include preconstructed headers and sidebars, and the WordPress team has put together a free web tutorial to assist you in using them to maximize your SEO rankings. You won’t have any trouble making these SEO themes look as if they were designed to your site specifications.
SEO blogging software is also available for other blogging platforms, but if you are using WordPress, as I do, you would be better off sticking with the plugins and themes engineered to work with the WordPress coding. There are plenty of them to keep you occupied, so why risk installing something that might do more harm than good?

How To Determine A Name For Your Business Blog
September 29, 2010 by wpautoblog
Filed under Caffeinated Content Plugin
The growing popularity of blogging by the general public is making business blogging a necessary marketing tool to stay competitive. There are many factors that can determine the success or failure of business blogging, and how successful it is with the business’s target market. These factors include how well the blog is marketed, how easy it is to comprehend the blog content, and how well the blog entices people to take action. Determining the name for the blog is one important factor in driving the right kind of targeted visitors to the business website.
Why the name of the blog is important
The name of your blog is important because it sets the tone for the blog and it is the first line of marketing for your desired visitors. If a business names their blog ‘Jim’s Blog’ or ‘Jane’s Blog’, it isn’t descriptive enough for people at a first glance to decide if they even want to visit your blog.
Another important result of how you name your business blog, is that most blogging software will put the name of the blog in the title of the browser. Many search engines will list the title of a web page in their results page. If your blog name isn’t very descriptive and accurate, you will risk losing potential customers or prospects coming to your site if they stumble upon your blog from a search engine results page.
Research the keywords for your blog:
This is an important step because you will want to include some keywords in your business blog name to get maximum results. In order to determin which keywords you should use in the name of your blog, you will need to research the viable keywords for your industry. There are many free and paid tools that you can use that will tell you what keyword phrases are being used in searches. This information will tell you what phrases your target market uses to find businesses in your industry.
While performing your research, you will find many results for keyword phrases. The ones you should be most interested in are the keyword phrases that don’t have too many words (no more than 4), as we will be adding more to the name if possible. You will also want to pick the keyword phrases that have a relatively high number of total searches for the month (10,000 or more).
Once you have decided upon a few keyword phrases, experiment with some different arrangements of the words to create the beginnings of a compelling business blog name.
Pick a clear benefit of your services to use in your blog name:
You are in business to fill a need or pain for your target market. If you aren’t doing that, you won’t be in business for long. Pick a clear and concise solution to a problem that your business provides for your target market, and try to incorporate that benefit into the name of your blog. You should end up with a name that will include relevant keywords and also contain a benefit for your clients or customers. Following these steps will give the title of your business blog a more relevant and enticing name.
How to put all the elements together for the name of your business blog:
How do you put together a keyword phrase and a clear benefit to create a powerful blog name? Let us go over an example for the travel industry. We will use a hypothetical company that provides travel insurance to travelers. A common problem for travelers that need travel insurance is to replace lost property and luggage. The benefit of this particular travel insurance business is that it provides coverage that is over and above what the other travel companies provide, or provides a service that makes it quicker and easier to process claims.
Our keyword research for this industry finds that ‘travel insurance online’ has just over 10,000 total keyword searches for the month (total of all 3 of the major search engines). So in creating the name for the blog, we could call it ‘Quick Claims in Online Travel Insurance’ or ‘More Than You Expect From Online Travel Insurance’. We have included a benefit, and the keyword phrase in one short sentence, and we did not make the name too long to make it look awkward.
As you have seen, the name of your business blog serves a couple of functions. The biggest one is that it can be used to help drive targeted visitors to your website, but the name also plays a role in search engine optimization for your business blog. When choosing a name of your business blog, don’t leave out the fact that it should also fit into the branding strategy of your business. Choose wisely and do your research well and you could reap the benefits and rewards for your business.

Paid or Upaid Blog Platforms
September 28, 2010 by wpautoblog
Filed under Automated Blogging
There are very popular blogging platforms available on the internet these days. However, many people get confused between the two options offered, the .com and the .org versions. This article will explain exactly what these are and how to choose the one that best suits you as a blogger.
WordPress.com is a free blog host, similar to Blogger. The website allows you to sign up for one user account and place as many blogs as you wish under this account. The basic site offers a good selection of blog themes and a handful of plugins already installed. You don’t need any technical knowledge to start a blog on WordPress.com.
WordPress.org is not a host at all, but rather the blogging platform which you can download for free and then host on your own website. This can get a bit confusing, if you aren’t very technically minded. The best way to go is to find a host such as HostGator which offers one click free installation of the WordPress platform. The platform comes with just one theme and two basic plugins.
So, how do you decide which version to use? That depends greatly on what you intend to do with your blog. If you are writing a personal blog and have no intention of trying to earn money except through the occasional affiliate link, then free platforms are the ideal options. Since they are so easy to use, it is perfect for the beginning blogger to get their feet wet.
WordPress.org, or the self-hosted platform, is far better if you actually want to monetize your blog. Whereas the free host doesn’t allow you to place Adsense or do pay per post blogging, if you are hosting your own blog, you can do whatever you want! This means you are able to load your blog with all manner of monetizing options.
Also, the free hosted version doesn’t allow customization through plugins or installation of new themes. While they offer a good variety of set themes, there are a good number of third party ones available for the self-hosted blog. There are also hundreds of free third party plugins that do everything from add sidebar widgets to help you optimize your blog for search engines.
It all comes down to the purpose of your blog. If you want full customization and the ability to place ads on your blog, you will want to host your own WordPress blog on your own host. However, if you are just fiddling around and having fun, you can go with free platforms for ease of use.

Why Website Content is So Important?
September 28, 2010 by wpautoblog
Filed under Automated Blogging
What’s in the Web Content?
A website could not be complete without content. It is much like the heart of a website that keeps it alive. It is why readers and customers keep visiting and viewing your site. If your site were just full of pictures with no writing to look forward to, then readers are most likely to leave your site and nerve come back. Web content is what encourages them to stay and keep coming back.
Making High-Quality Content
Creating high-grade content for your website need not be difficult. There are many available options and one of them is hiring professionals to do the job. You may even want to tell the writers what specific details you want the visitors to know and what other information you want published. Competition is tough so it is a must for your site to be attractive to viewers, even at first glance. Most viewers flock websites that gives out the best, most credible, and most reliable information.
Here are some tips on what an excellent website should have.
Your site should contain dependable information. Credibility is always a plus in internet marketing. Still, keep things light and natural. Do not let your readers feel that you are imposing things on them or forcing them to buy what you are offering. Joke around and grab their attention.
Your readers are lucky to have visited your site. Make them feel that priceless information and opportunities are coming their way since they have stumbled upon your site. Let them feel, too, that they will miss a lot if they do not continue visiting your page.
Put some pictures and graphics. It would be boring to have a site comprised of only textual content. Add some spice to it and place graphics and pictures to brighten and lighten up the mood of your site. It also makes it visually entertaining.
Organize. It would also be pleasant to see your site organized. This also helps readers to easily access archives and previous articles you have done.
Let your content do the job.
If your articles already have excellent content, you can let them work for themselves. Technical stuff in the search engines called spiders would literally crawl on your site and index whatever is in it, depending on the keywords you have placed. These keywords would determine where the page is indexed. This is very important because if you want people to be able to see your site when they use search engines, then your website address should show up in the results. Getting it placed at the first few pages of the search results will increase the chances of having your site viewed and visited a lot of times.
Having high quality website content gets the job you want done. If you have not tried this before, then you would surely notice a difference when you have high grade content on your site. This gives you more visitors to your site, increased traffic, and thus, increased income.
