Filter out your visits to your blog from Google Analytics traffic statistics

The results of daily visits in the web hit counters always have a margin of error. In most of them, this margin is very high, therefore the statistics shown are not even a bit closer to the actual visits we have. Google Analytics has a very short margin of error, which makes it more reliable, so that we have a better idea of how many people visit us.

However, if you visit your own website, either to check if everything works well, to review comments, to answer them, to see if anyone is online, or just because you need to enter, then your visit will also be registered in the counter. This implies that the margin of error is larger again, because those visits are not our actual visits and we are not interested in knowing how many times we are coming back to our site, but how many people from elsewhere are visiting.

Therefore what we can do is to filter our IP so that we won't be registered in the statistics and thus to get "cleaner" results on the total number of visits and page views.

1. The first thing is to find out what is your IP address. Just type "what is my ip address" on google and above all of the results it will say "Your public IP address is..." or you can use an online service that shows your IP. There are many of these sites, one of them being http://whatismyipaddress.com... just go to the site and it will automatically show your IP.
2. Login to your Google Analytics account and click Admin in the orage bar on the right side. This will take you to the account administration screen 
3. On the left is the Account section and below you'll find a tab called All Filters, just click the "+NEW FILTER" button.
4. Give the filter any name you'd like. Filter Type is "Predefined filter", "Exclude", choose "traffic from the IP addresses" and "that are equal to" then enter your four numbered IP address you looked up in step 1.  Check whether it's IPv6 or not (if you don't know leave it unchecked).
5. Save the changes.

Screenshot:

You can add as many IP as you want, depending on how many different computers you use to access your site. And that's it. Now you can browse your site without registering a click in the Google Analytics metrics.

How to Write SEO Optimized Blog Posts

 

I'm not a SEO Expert, nor what we will read further is a top secret, but this is about the basic positioning that everyone should apply in order to optimize their blog posts. And with these techniques, effort, and a lot of patience, we can occupy the best places in the search results of different search engines.

For sure not all the cases are alike, neither all blogs are positioned in the same manner, some might have greater competition than others depending on how popular is the topic that they handle, thus, when it comes to web positioning, there's no specific time that applies for all. Having said this, let's begin.

Focus on a topic

Whatever the theme of your blog is, when writing a post, try focusing on a definite subject that has a clear objective and has no distractions. For example, if you write about Digital Cameras, then the beginning and the end of the post should be only about it. Don't start talking about digital cameras and end up telling about what you have done last weekend. A reader goes to a page because is looking for a specific information, so unless it is not a personal blog (where you write about your daily life) do not digress.

Define the post title

The post title should be precise, so that you can briefly summarize the content of the post, but you must not abuse this either, and although it should be concise, do not save words that might be keys to the search.

Examples:

Collection of all the cameras that have been released last year on the market

The best digital cameras of 2012

Clearly, the first one hasn't been defined very much and the second is not only more accurate but it is more appropriate as well, for what people are searching on the internet.

The keywords

Keywords are those terms that the most people search for on the internet and you should try focusing on them when writing an article; these keywords have to be included throughout the entire article but you should be careful not repeating them too many times.

Example:

During the fourth week of the technology, there were many products that are utilized today, and the most famous experts gave a speech on them.

At the opening of the fourth Technology Week, the experts talked about various topics, including how to choose a digital camera, had discussions about the pros and cons of the iPad, and which are the best smartphones.

In the first example we have written without giving importance to any terms, meanwhile, in the second one, we used phrases that are searched on the internet by the most users.

So, the most frequent search terms should be included wisely without cluttering your posts with them, or it can be counterproductive.

These keywords should be added in the title of the posts, as well.

Rely on synonyms

While it is good using keywords, we should not limit ourselves to a single word. It is recommended using synonyms because users do not name things in same way and using less keywords, you'll avoid leaving the reader under the impression that you are being repetitive and insistent.

Examples:

For those who like good quality pictures, Nikon D7000s Digital Camera is a 16.2 megapixel digital camera that takes great pictures.

For those who like good quality images, Nikon D7000s is a 16.2 megapixel digital camera that takes excellent pictures.

In the first example we have repeated the word digital camera and pictures twice, meanwhile, in the second one, we used the digital camera keyword once and changed the word pictures with images.

This way, the reader will find a greater diversity of words and might enjoy the article more.

Using bold and italics

The main keywords should be highlighted, so that they will stand out from the rest; this is taken into account by the search engine robots being like some kind of lures for them, so the words with which you want to position yourself, need to be highlighted with bold, but be careful, this shouldn't be done with CSS, but with HTML, i.e. they should not be tagged with font-weight: bold; but rather with <b> or even better, with <strong>.

Examples:

For those who like good quality images, Nikon D7000s is a 16.2 megapixel digital camera that takes excellent pictures.

The result seems to be the same, but it is not. Although the three sentences are in bold, only one is more attractive to robots, which is the first.

For those who like <span style="font-weight: bold;">good quality images</span>, <strong>Nikon D7000s</strong> is a 16.2 megapixel <b>digital camera</b> that takes excellent pictures.

The same goes for the italics, use them for highlighting important words, but do not put them between font-style: italic; but rather between <i> or even better <em>.

For those who like <span style="font-style: italic;">good quality images</span>, <em>Nikon D7000s</em> is a 16.2 megapixel <i>digital camera</i> that takes excellent pictures.

Again, the first has a better chance of positioning than the others. So, it is recommended to highlight the keywords in bold and italics, or to put them between <strong> and </strong>, or between <em> and </em>.

Using links

Some believe that we shouldn't use links in the posts because this way we are giving away our Page Rank. This is not quite true, using referral links to sites that have already shaped their credibility, will also help us to shape our own. Certainly, we should not flood our posts with links, but we can do it when is necessary and especially with sites that address the same topics as you.

Also, avoid putting the typical "click here" or similar texts. When you put a link, the anchor text should be fairly descriptive.

Examples:

<a href="Link URL">Click here</a> to know more

More information about <a href="Link URL">digital cameras</a>

In the first example, the anchor text is not relevant and descriptive, in the second it is.

Illustrating with images

Articles with images are not only visually appealing, but might help the reader to understand what you are talking about, thus, whenever you can, use an image in your post to illustrate the publishing, but do not overdo it, because many images or very large images can slow the loading time of the blog.

New and relevant content

You should focus not only on writing many posts, but also making them relevant to your readers. New and original content is more attractive to the search engines than a copy & paste and actually, the last gets penalized. So try to write new stuff, even if you think that all has been said, it isn't so, each person has a different way of saying things.

Also, always try to get informed before writing an article; do a research and see if the information is valid, based on that, you will gain the trust of your readers.

With these few techniques you can increase the chances of positioning your posts on the internet. As I said earlier, these aren't things that no one heard about, but I know that many are beginners and don't know how to optimize the blog posts.

It does not hurt repeating that the positioning is not given overnight, but with some effort and patience, you should see the desired results over time.

How to do natural SEO on Blogger

 

Although many insist that blogs hosted on free servers, such as Blogger, are not ideal for performing a correct positioning of your web site, the truth is that a blog hosted by Blogger can be really well positioned and quickly on the Internet if you are using the right SEO tools.

Now, given the latest updates from Google, the best would be hiring a specialized person, however, if we don't have the resources or we want to learn doing this job alone, we can choose to begin with the natural positioning. Here are some tips to start a SEO work (Search Engine Optimization).

The first thing is to pick a correct domain

We must try having our keyword included in our domain name, of course, this may sacrifice our branding but we can use the redirection.

Create Value Added Content

Not only rewrite articles, or write like they would be intended for us. While writing our posts we should consider our target audience, i.e., giving advices, tips, suggestions or guidance on specific topics and, aside, place links, use anchortext and keyfrases.

The topic of the links is important

They should be of quality and while, is no longer required to place five or ten links within the text of your website, now what matters is that the link is relevant to the context.

Finally, the domain, in value-added content and a right use of the internal and external links, will not be useful if we don't try to update our blog constantly.

How often should you update your blog?

This is not necessary to be done on daily basis, although this may be ideal as in this way we could achieve a greater relevance in search engines, but has to be a constant work. Let's say, two or three times a week would be enough, what should not happen is updating only three times a week and doing nothing next week.

Keep in mind that search engines happen to pass daily on our blog in order to index our content.

Patience

A successful blog is a product of time and effort and as a site administrator, you will need patience.

If you are constantly trying to develop new and creative ideas for writing on your blog and at the same time you are worried if you will see any results, this will only make things more difficult.

Depends on you to publish useful and accurate information, your readers will do the rest.

Consistency

The frequency of publication to a proper schedule is related to the amount of time you have available and your level of motivation. However, it is important to establish a sort of consistency, so that people can schedule their own visits accordingly.

7 Smart Tips To Drive Traffic From Pinterest To Your Blog

There’s hardly anyone left in the world of blogging who is not aware of Pinterest. However, what some people do not know is the fact that Pinterest is not only meant for pinning your products, rather it also helps in driving more traffic toward your blog / website. Over time, Pinterest is seen to be driving in more traffic as compared to all the other prominent social networking websites. Looking at the severity of its importance, we are bringing to you few effective ways of driving traffic towards your blog via Pinterest.

How To Use Pinterest To Drive Traffic To Your Blog?

1# Emphasis on trending and lifestyle topics
Who does not like to read hot and trending articles? It is a known fact that people always prefer to spend their time on the latest happening and events. This will surely get you a lot of followers along with a long array of repins, likes and comments. Movies, social affairs or anything latest will do the best for you.
We are part of an ever growing society and people need to be kept familiar with their surroundings. Make your blog a mixture of everyday tips, household products, images, videos and you are done. The number of clicks that you will receive through these simple yet useful posts will be surely amazing.
2# Go for a personalised blog board
Do not let your blog put your readers in hocus- pocus. Always make it a point to arrange your blog in a systematic manner. This will definitely make it easier for your followers to find your latest pins and will save their time as well.
Also, remember to add good keywords in the title of your posts. This way they will find high page ranking in all the major search engines. Isn’t it great to have a well managed blog as well as a good ranking all in a single go?
3# Combine text with images
No one likes to read a long and boring post. Make your posts interesting by including as many catchy pictures as possible. Or to make it more appealing, you can also add text onto the pictures. Images catch people’s attention and it compels them to click on the link to know more about your pin. For this purpose, use large and attractive fonts on your image while pinning them on Pinterest. This is due to the reason that a lot of people access Pinterest through their mobile phones and small font will not be visible to them.

4# Show the magic of URL description
While pinning images or posts on Pinterest, always add the URL of your blog in the description. In case you are repining, do the same. Use the URL of your blog or website which will have the similar posts as that on Pinterest. Also, do not use shortened URLs for this purpose. When people will repin your post, they will get redirected to your blog automatically.
5# A contest for your followers
Interact with your audience as much as possible. An easy way for this is by running a contest on your blog. All you need to do is pin that contest on Pinterest. This will work as a promotional strategy for your blog/ website by driving in more people via Pinterest.
The best part is that people actually spend a lot of their time on such contests and eventually the traffic towards your blog increases.
6# How about adding a “pin it” button?

6 Essential Pinterest Integration Tips for Bloggers

The internet has fallen in love with Pinterest, and what’s not to love? This fast-growing online destination offers a smorgasbord of images to appease the visually-crazed, and is just social enough to make it a great networking tool. Thanks to the combination of these two elements, Pinterest has become an object of interest to bloggers far and wide.

Even if you don’t have a presence on Pinterest, there is a great chance that your audience does. This means you at least need to give it consideration. For those who are ready to go, the following tips will explain how you can effectively integrate Pinterest with your blogging efforts.

1. Add a “Pin It” Button to Your Blog Posts

If you follow trends across the social web at all, you knew it wouldn’t be long before Pinterest came out with a button that connects it to the rest of the world. With the Pin It button, you can provide an easy way for people to share your content on their Pinteret boards. Luckily, adding this button to your post is a simple process.

• Login to your Pinterest account.
• Grab the button code from the “Goodies” section.
• Add the code to the HTML area of your blog post and you’re done!

2. Make Your Posts Pinterst-Friendly

You’ll see a few videos here and there, but the main activity on Pinterest is sharing images. This is why I highly recommend including images in most, if not all of your posts. If you include at least one image, then readers can pin your entire blog post to a board. You definitely want this type of exposure, so when you go to crank out that next post, don’t forget to complement it with a high quality image or two.

3. Use a Pinterest Plugin

If WordPress is your blogging platform of choice, then you may want to consider using a plugin to support your integration efforts. There are quite a few to choose from, with Pinterest Plugin, Pinterest Galleries, and Pinterst Follow Button being some of the most popular options. While there are no official plugins available for Blogger, there are tools you can use to add Pin It and Follow buttons to your blog.

4. Add Boards to Your Blog

Most bloggers focus on getting their blog posts on Pinterest, but you can also reverse this and add boards to your blog. There are a couple of ways to do this. You can use a plugin like Pinterest RSS Widget, or code the functionality into your theme, which of course, requires some programming knowledge. You could also use a service like IFTTT, a tool that automates the process for blogs using Pinterest-inspired themes. Keep in mind that the aforementioned methods are all specific to WordPress.

5. Network with Fellow Pinners

Pinterest may not be the conventional social network, but it falls in the same category as the rest of them nonetheless. You can juice this site for its rich networking capabilities by connecting with other users. Comment on their pins. Like them. Repin them. This is the same approach you want to take when marketing on any social network. Spread the love, steer clear of the spammy advertising tactics, and rubbing shoulders with the Pinterest faithful could send some nice traffic to your blog.

6. Track Your Efforts

So you’ve made the move to integrate Pinterest with your blogging efforts. How’s everything going? Hopefully you have a good tracking system that will allow you to find out. When combing over your reports, you mainly want to find out who is coming in from Pinterest, and what they are doing once they reach your blog. Whether it’s JetPack for WordPress or the Blogger-friendly Google Analytics, there are several tools that can provide these insights.

Market in the Moment

How long will the Pinterest craze last? It’s hard to say. A site that is popular one year could be on its way out the door the next. What’s important for now is understanding that the hype behind this thing is very real. Consumers are all in and some of the brands that hopped on the bandwagon early are seeing good results. If you start working on integrating Pinterest with your blog now, you will be in line to see some gains regardless of what happens in the future.
How are you mixing Pinterest with your efforts? Anything that might work for the rest of us?

Tip 1: Blog Commenting

Most of you will know that blog commenting is the best method for link building to a blog but do you know how blog commenting works. This is highly recommended to add blog commenting in your blogging schedule. Leave at least 10 comments daily on high ranked blogs same with your niche. It will not only help you in link building but also help you to increase blog traffic. Most of bloggers will know the benefits of blog commenting but they don’t know how to take proper benefits of their time they spend on commenting on other blogs. Commenting on those blogs where you get nofollow link is a waste of time. Work on those blogs where you can get dofollow backlink for your blog.

Use search engines to find CommentLuv and KeywordLuv enabled blogs and leave valuable comments on those blogs on daily basis. When you comment on those blogs then below every comment your recent posted post will be shown with title as anchor text. And even you can also use your keyword in the name field like this Ankit@Blogger Tips Tricks. That means you can get two backlinks from single comment. It will help you to generate high quality dofollow backlinks and your Page Rank will increase.

This is really a simple job to find those blogs which have installed Communtluv and KeywordLuv commenting system in it. Simply go with your favorite search engine and type the below query.

It means if I need to find blogs with blogging niche then I will search query like blogging “CommentLuv”.

Once you enter these types of search terms you will get the list of CommentLuv and KeywordLuv enabled blogs. Use them to increase your blog backlinks. Spend at least 20-30 minutes daily to read those blog’s articles and leave valuable comment there. Don’t put short comments like nice article, good article and all. Blog owner will not accept these types of comments and your efforts will be waste.

Tip 2: Use Forums

Participating in webmaster forums can help you to increase your blog readership. Readers will let to know about your blog and hence new visitors land to read your content. Denote some time from your schedule to use forums for link building. Answer the questions there under your perfection of field and use signature as a link back to your site. You can use below forums.

Digital Point Forum

This forum is especially for webmasters and SEO niche. You can ask your questions there as well can reply to those questions asked by others. Try to reply with best answer. Once your answers got liked by 3 established users then you will also become an established user. Then you can use signature below every answer which you give. Use link pointing back to your blog in signature column. Visit Digital Point Forum.

Yahoo Answers

“Yahoo Answers” is the best place to increase your blog traffic fast. There are millions of visitors on this question answer website. You should join this site for your own benefits. Spend some time to reply other’s questions. There are 10 levels and when the number of your answers will increase these levels will also increase.

If you want an active link then you have to reach on second level. Second level means 250 points. 2 points for each answer and 10 points for the best answer if voted by the person who asks the question. Do answering on regular basis, it will bring new visitors to your blog and if they subscribe your feedburner feed then they will become your blog readers. Visit Yahoo Answers.

Tip 3: Guest Blogging

Write your best and unique articles for other’s blog. Yes, you heard right. Write for others and in return you will be awarded with a very powerful dofollow and targeted backlink with anchor text of your choice. Find blogs under the same niche which you have and contact their owners using contact us form in their blog to submit guest post. If they agree to publish your post on their blog then submit your post and include one or two link between content or in the Author’s Bio section with your main keyword as anchor text. Guest Posting is beneficial for both the parties. Blog owners receive free and high quality articles for the blog and in return you receive high quality backlink for your blog.

Note: Don’t always build backlinks for your blog homepage. Try to build backlinks for internal pages also like category pages or any related post. For more SEO benefits you can also link to your sitemap page. By sitemap page, I mean the page which contains links to all published posts into your blog.

This is one of the best way to generate blog traffic. I remember in a comment on a month anniversary of my blog, a commenter encouraged me to venture into forum participation (a pro-blogger) for that matter, meaning forum count a lot in blog traffic and to get exposed to your audience using forum signature and work with forum as an expert by contributing immensely to bringing more ideas either to existing topic or your now created topic.
Join existing conversation, reply to conversation, subscribe to reasonable topic, and create your own topic for people to learn from you and with your profile having your signature, you will be able to drive more traffic to your blog as long as there is a signature beneath your name and you give a reasonable information or ideas in your topic.

Use Social Media Sites for Higher Ranks in Google

So, SEO has been changed since a long time. Google has been implementing changes in their search engine algorithm and now because of those changes, the SEO strategy has actually changed. The search engines now expect to see some social media activities of your website in the social media sites as well – which means social participation of your business. Google actually makes the things clear – the more your social participation is seen, the more your website would be seen on their search results.

Social Media Sites Improves Ranking

The recent updates including the one in the Penguin world has brought such changes in the search engine policy. You are going to be ranked favorably provided that you are the authority of your business. They observe your interaction with your customers and it can be easily done over the social network; probably that’s the reason behind measuring this change in the searching policy. If you can manage to do the socialization in the right way, you will get higher ranking. Now, how do you do that? It’s easy if you know exactly where to click. You have to know what your consumers actually want from your business. Share lucrative posts on social media about it – be it a service, or product. If you can make them interested – they will share without you telling them to do so. The more shared, reposted, re-tweeted that post gets; the more exposure and rank you earn in Google.
And where are you supposed to do that? In the social media, the ones that get the most hits and here are six of them.

1# LinkedIn

No matter what social network you use for socializing, the most priority should be given on completing your profile first. When you fully complete your LinkedIn professional page and your personal page with profile picture and all the details, you get the advantages of being in touch with the professional people in your workspace orbit. Also, Google prefers results from LinkedIn.

2# YouTube

Google’s own this media sharing site and is a great tool for promoting your business for almost free. You can put video promotional about your product or service and get the attention of your consumers. Videos up to 10 minutes are completely free so it won’t cost a single penny for many businesses. And if done properly, video marketing makes your business more attractive to the consumers.

3# Facebook

There is forever running debates on the cyberspace about how Facebook will or will not lose interest to its users in the future. As we can’t see the unforeseen future so we don’t have any comments on that but Facebook clearly is the most popular social network these days. Proper use of this tool will surely get you the most consumers worldwide.

4# Twitter

It has become ‘embedded’ in many souls all around the world. Twitter has clearly showed how a 140 lines tweet can severely impact people’s lives. I don’t there’s much to say – just use this tool properly.

5# Pinterest

As people can pin and re-pin their interests to this social network, make sure your posts get enough pin to make the other consumers interested. That’s how you engage your potential customers.
So now given that the social networks to higher your ranking, get to work.

Optimize Internal Links to Boost Blog Ranking

Internal linking within content is very important. As you may already know, website or blog that provide easy navigation to its users most loved by Google and internal linking plays a vital role in improving website’s navigation.
Users feel it easy to navigate from one page to another of the website if you provide them relevant links within your content. Using internal linking wisely can help you to improve your rankings in search results. Hence you will get really targeted traffic to your blog.
You may notice that webmasters put relevant links in their content which is a form of internal linking. Newbie bloggers also use this internal linking methodology in their blog posts but they fail to use it effectively. That’s why today I bring some tips that will help you to use internal linking effectively to boost your SEO rankings.

Using Internal Linking Correctly

Before we start today’s topic, first you need to know what is internal linking and what are its advantages. I have already published a post that covers this topic in detail.
Now, let discuss how to use internal linking correctly for better SEO.

Use Keywords in Anchor Text

Anchor text is the word or collection of words we used to create hyperlinks. Many bloggers use anchor text like ‘click here‘ or ‘see this page‘ to make hyperlinks in their blog posts. But this is not a good way to optimize the links. You must use target keywords as anchor text. It will make the job easier for search engines to understand the topic of linked post. Hence there are higher chances to rank for those keywords.

Use Title Attribute

I have checked many blogs and found that bloggers use alt and title attribute in their images to optimize them but only few of them are using title attribute for links. If title attribute is beneficial for images then why it can’t be used to optimize the links. Make use of them and start optimizing your internal links.

Never Link to Label Pages (For Blogspot Users Only)

Many bloggers are doing this mistake. They use labels to create internal linking. You must know that posts are more important than labels because labels are only used to categorize the blog posts. We receive traffic from our posts only. So, instead of linking to labels start linking to related posts. One thing you can do is create HTML sitemap and use it to link in your content. It will also help you to increase your page rank. Read below article to know how HTML sitemap can use to increase blog Page rank.

Final Words!

This was the little guide on how to make effective use of internal linking in your blog posts. Always try to provide relevant links into your posts. It have other major benefits too like it helps to increase blog page views, reduce bounce rate etc and Google will also love your blog for easy navigation. So, start optimizing your internal links and make your blog’s navigation easier for your readers.
