you Do not post Comments on the blog!

WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU???

Why Won’t you take advantage of The Wonderful world of BLOG COMMENTING???

especially on elie-palima.com…

Why post a comment on elie palima’s blog

1. Top Commentators of the week Widget – just re-installed it again last month, but it Should also encourage more commentators since the “links” will be placed on the home page and will be included as a link from all of my post. which means, Link juice for your website…

and since nobody has the guts to comment, it’s really easy to Get listed on my “top commentators list”

2. Comment Lurve Plugin – just today, I’ve install this plugin on my blog to encourage more of you to comment. This one is really useful since it’ll automatically gives you, the commenter an instant backlink to your most latest post and will help you to rank well on the SERP (search engine ranking position).

3. Be seen By Thousands of visitors monthly – if you have a very interesting comment, and get listed on my top commentators list located on the blog’s sidebar, then there is a big chance that my blog would give you a boost in traffic.

4. My Blog’s homepage is a PR 3 - Which means, LINK JUICE FOR YOU, plus I ‘m expecting to get a much higher page rank within 2 months time.

More link juice will be given to you when you Reach the “top commentators” (which again, I said… very easy to get listed since nobody has the guts to comment) :)

5. Very Accommodating, Friendly + handsome Administrator :D - C’mon guys, The picture don’t lie!! LOL

The Advantages of blog-Commenting

blog commenting can give you a lot of advantages. it’s one of my Favorite marketing strategy.

if you spend time on commenting or you have a certain “schedule” on commenting (I personally comment on different blogs and spend 2 hours doing it 2-4 times a week) then, you’ll be surprised by the great results it can give specially if you are into internet marketing and building traffic to your site.

blog – Commenting:

Gives you traffic to your site – while it may not give you 1,000 visitors per day, it helps.

Instant Backlink for you – Like my blog, which has a “top commentator plugin” and “comment lurve plugin” this gives you a good reward since backlinks “do-follow backlinks” plays a huge part on link building and SEO.

Helps you get noticed by the big blogs (small ones, much better) – if you comment regularly on other blogs, then it’s a sign that you are building relationship with the website.

Why does nobody Comment on my blog – The “theory”

1. My visitors has No More Stuffs to share since I said it all
2. My Visitors Don’t know How to Post a Comment on my blog
3. I Create Crappy Post that’s not Worth commenting
4. None of my visitors are bloggers / internet marketers???
5. The Visitor is Shy And Wants to hide From me
6. I’m Not encouraging comments enough

if you happen to know how to increase a comment on a blog share them below… or if there is a Great guide on how to increase blog comments… Please let me know also, LOL. I’ll thank you! ;)

the site just got a google PR 3 today! :P

you can check a site’s google pagerank by downloading and installing google toolbar on your firefox browser as an add-on (I’m not sure if it works with other browsers)

I can’t explain how happy I am right now.. anyways, Pagerank 3 with just three months of work is a Big accomplishment for me. and a great gift to start a fresh new year of 2010.

I didn’t know exactly “know” how I got the pagerank but..

here are the stuffs I did that *I think* had some effects on my page rank:

• Linked to bloggers related on my niche
• bookmarked every post I make to digg, reddit, stumbleupon, delicious..
• twitted all posts I made.
• Commented on blogs and get a link back.

if you know about page rank and your reading this post, it’ll be great if you can share your knowledge about Pagerank by commenting below.. ;)

Create a search engine friendly url

by default, wordpress URLs looks like  “www.elie-palima.com/?p=123″ . we want search engines to figure out in a snap what is your article about. to do this,

Login to your wordpress  control panel (www.example.com/wp-admin). I assume you are using wordpress by now, They are the best blogging platform out there! ;) nwei, click on settings>>Permalinks.

then you’ll be able to see this page:

Choose “custom structure” and enter /%postname%/ exactly like whats written on the image above. this makes your link shorter and more usable/understandable.

for example, instead of your permalink being like (www.elie-palima.com/2009/12/20/sample-post) it will be “www.elie-palima.com/sample-post”.

Make your Domain name your Home page

login wour wordpress account, click on settings tab and you’ll see this page:

maybe your blog looks like this.. (www.yoursite.com/blog) if that’s the case, make your domain your home page.. make sure it’s “www.yoursite.com” by default.

Check your blog title and tagline

Make sure you include your Main keyword on your blog title and tag line. in my case, I’m targeting the keyword “Make Money Online” so my blog title is “Make Money Online with teenage dad” and I also included on my tagline the keywords “make money online”, “how to make money online” and other related keywords for my blog.

Set up your preferred domain

most websites can be reached by two different addresses. one address has a “www” in it (http://www.elie-palima.com/) and the other one has www missing.(http://elie-palima.com). When we talk about SEO, it’s advisable to use one domain format and stick with it. because when you have the two formats this means google will give you 2 different Page rank for 2 urls that point to the same page.

the easiest way to set up your preferred domain is by logging in/signing up for google webmastertools. login to google webmastertools. (add your site if you still haven’t done so).

notice that I have added the two domains, (www.elie-palima.com ) and (elie-palima.com)  Make sure to verify both sites.

setup your preferred domain by choosing “thedomain>>site configuration>> settings” which will bring you to the next page.

do these steps on the two domains you added.

Optimize your posts by installing a reliable SEO plugin

the two plugin I have in mind are All in one SEO and the Platinum SEO pack. however I find Platinum SEO more effective. don’t worry if you already have all in one SEO installed, Platinum SEO will automatically transfer the post you optimized already while you were using all in one SEO.

Update RSS services. *ping*

whenever you make a new post, ping services and RSS services will be notified and they will “crawl” your content. which will bring you instant traffic/visitors. login to wp-admin, settings>>writing>> scroll down to the page and you’ll see this:

I’ve compiled a list of ping services. make sure you put these in there.

Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can even put a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated.

2. Offer additional value on your website.

For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.

3. You can allow customers to ‘opt in’ to get discounts and special offers. Place a link on your site to invite customers to ‘opt in’ to get a monthly newsletter or valuable coupons.

4. Add a link to your primary page with a script ‘Book Mark or Add this site to your Favorites’.

5. Add a link ‘Recommend this site to a Friend’ so that the visitor can email your website link, with a prewritten title, “Thought you might be interested in this”, just by clicking on it.

6. Brand your website so that visitors always know they are on your site. Use consistent colors, logos and slogans and always provide a ‘Contact Us’ link on each page.
7. Create a ‘Our Policies’ page that clearly defines your philosophy and principles in dealing with your customers. Also post your privacy policy as well so that clients know they are secure when they visit your site.

8. Create a FAQ page which addresses most of the doubts and clarifications about your product or your company that are likely to be asked. This helps to resolve most of the customers doubts in their first visit to your site.

8. Ensure that each page on your website has appropriate titles and keywords so that your customer can find their way back to your site if they lose the book mark.

9. Never spam a client, who has opted for newsletters, with unsolicited emails. Later if they decide they want to ‘opt out’ of the mailings, be sure you honor their request and take them off the mailing list. They may still come back if they like your products. But they will certainly not come back if you continue to flood their email box with mails they no longer wish to receive.
