5 tips to increase/improve page rank of blogs and websites








Introduction





Is your blog/website suffering from no traffic and low page rank problems? Is your hard work in writing and posting going in vain? This article explains how to increase page rank of blog/website along and making it more search engine optimized.







What is Page rank?







5 tips/ways to improve Page Rank of Blog/Website. (BlogShrill)






Page rank refers to the priority of our blogs and websites to come in top results of search engines like Google, Yahoo etc. The page rank of a blog/website is decided automatically by search engines on the basis of the content, quality of content, number of back links to your blog/website, search engine optimization etc.

As a large number of websites and blogs are working continuously to get their blogs/websites ranked better by Google etc, we need to keep running in the race for being the first.



Here are five points that may really help us to keep the page rank of blog up:








  • Write quality content and ‘be regular’ to your blog/website







It refers to unique content, which should be written in proper English. One should try to write either in active or passive voice. An active voice is ‘I am writing a post on increase page rank of blogs’ and a passive voice will be ‘This post on increasing page rank of blog has been written by me’. To keep our text alive and attractive, we should avoid mixing active and passive voices together; instead we should write our content in any one of the two voices. Also, each post written by us should be of minimum 300-400 words and maximum 800-900 words or even more.










  • Exchange links with other sites







By exchanging links with other blogs and website, you are actually driving real traffic/readers from one website to another, which is yours. Also, search engines take it as a validation criteria and ranks you better, taking you as more loyal (by seeing your website’s link on other websites. Though, the actual working of a search engine is hard to be found, but some recent tests say that a large number of link exchanging is also marked as a negative by search engines, so if we are exchanging out links, we should always do some inquiry about the site with which we are exchanging our links (completely avoiding pornography and vulgar websites) and maintain the number of link exchanges at least.









  • Guest posting







It is another working method of drawing attention of readers of other sites on your blog posts and so to your blog, ending up making it popular. There are many websites on the Internet that allows guest blogging and the permission to put one of more back links between the text in the post.









  • Back links from forums and comments








Obviously, our first goal is to write good content and concentrate over the subject we are writing on. But making our blog notified and read by someone is really another most important step. Back links simply refers to putting our blog/website’s url in forums or comments in other sites, which is checked in with curiosity by the ones who read it therein. Some bloggers and website owners change their settings in order to deactivate the main advantage of back links, while most of blogs do not have any blockage for back links in comments. So, give your time reading other blogs of niches similar to your own blog, and do comments there with a link to your blog.

Note: Do not start spamming anywhere in comments section by just typing out your link and saying goodbye! Take some time to read what they have written and appreciate their work or give your honest views on their content and then place a clickable link in the last. Nowadays, we have options to write our blog/website URLs in the place of our name (commentator's name) itself.







  • Search engine optimization of blog/website






Have you ever noticed that why only some selected sites are visible in Google/Yahoo’s top 10 search results? Why not other websites? It is just because these top 10 websites have a lot of quality content and these are properly optimized to be search engine friendly. Other sites that are ranked lower by search engines may also quality content but they do not acquire good place in search results as they either lack search engine optimization or they just do over optimization in their website, that results into partial or complete ignorance by search engines.



A page is said as well-optimized when it becomes search engine-friendly. Though, we are writing for our readers and we should not compromise with our text to write it for search engines. But, we can’t deny that search engines are the main and biggest sources that can boost our blog/website with traffic, if our website and webpage are perfectly optimized. So, I suggest everyone including myself to write for our readers at first and then look at the text if it can be modified a bit to be search engine friendly. All that is needed is to write in proper English and using keywords in the content in proper ratio.

How to delete/deactivate my Facebook account permanently

Introduction

Have you ever thought if Facebook accounts can be deleted or not? Before I knew this tricky operation, I used to think that Facebook only provide the option for deactivating the account, and no any easy way to get rid of our Facebook accounts completely. But, now I know how to do it. So, I am writing down my piece of knowledge with all the fellow Facbookers who want to permanently delete their accounts, but are compromising by just deactivation of their accounts, which keep visiting from time to time.


How deactivation is different from deletion of Facebook account?


It is as different as the meanings of two words. Facebook account deactivation makes your account invisible and unsearchable for other Facebook users and search engines as well. The main benefit of deactivation is when you want to get away from Facebook for a certain time and then come back again by re-activating you account. You may activate/deactivate as many times as you want, but Facebook also blocks our access for some days or permanently if we repeat this process too frequently. To delete a Facebook account means that once deleted you will not be able to access the account again ‘ever’.


How to perform Facebook account deletion?

Facebook does not provide any easy link in your timeline settings to delete your account. So, we need to manually go to that page and submit an application/request to Facebook team for the same. To delete the account, please follow these easy steps as mentioned below:

  1. Go to this link: http://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account/
  2. The above link takes you to a page carrying an ‘account deletion form’, where we need to confirm and verify our deletion again.
  3. Submit the form, and you are done!
Facebook gives you an extending period of 14 days before completely deleting your account/timeline. In case, you will feel an urgency or an urge to open up your account again and have talks with friends, you form submission will be cancelled by Facebook. So, login to your account after submitting the deletion form only when think it is that important to not to delete it. Once, you submit the deletion form and have not logged into Facebook for 14 days, you account will be permanently deleted by Facebook. Now, as you will try to login from the same username and password, it may state the information entered as wrong.

What if I want back my deleted account back?


I recommend you to always download a copy of your account information before deletion, in order to take you account back even after a permanent deletion.

Once, all the testing and examining of the new homepage will be done, Google will completely introduce its Google Now screen to the WWW. Google states, that the users will be able to use this feature on their Smartphone too.

While other search engines are doing their best to win the race, Google Now from is another example from Google that simply says, Google was, is and will be the winner always. Let’s see, how longer we need to wait before we start making use of Google Now and the smart features that it provides.

Sign/Possibilities of Life on other planets: Are scientists hiding something big from us?

Introduction


This article is all about the existence of alien life forms on planets other than Earth. It shares about our achievements in knowing the mysteries of space and some planets where scientists have claimed the possibilities of life. Read this article to know more on  the presence of aliens on other planets and moon and if they as intelligent as human species.

Are we alone in this vast and infinite Space?


The Universe is as vast as out of our thoughts and imaginations. There may be more than thousands of galaxies, and millions of planets in this infinite Universe, and our Earth is only one of those infinite planets. If we think it this way, then a question often comes into our mind that are we alone in this Universe? I think ‘No!’ If there can be life on Earth, then why cannot on other planets? As the atmosphere on Earth is suitable for our survival, Why cannot it be possible that other life forms would be surviving in the atmosphere present on their planetsBelieve me; our scientists have been searching for the same answers since many years.

Are we alone in the Universe?

With our continuous success and failures during inventing advanced probes, satellites and telescopes, we have known many things about the space and discovered a large number of planets around the Blue planet. We have been to Moon, and have sent several satellites and robots to space to solve the unsolved mysteries of Universe.


Below are some planets and natural satellites/moon(s) where alien life forms may be present according to Scientists:

The Earth’s Moon


The Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. The researches so far has shown some proofs of presence of water and ice on Moon. Till the date, several satellites and human-piloted spaceships have been sent to the Moon for studying the surface and matter on the Moon. Being closest to the Earth, Moon has always remained a most suspected planet where the possibilities of life can be imagined by the human.

Mars – The Red Planet


Mars comes at 4th number in the series of planets in our solar system. It is the nearest planet to the Earth, that scientists are crawling for the signs of alien life forms after the Earth's Moon. This planet is said to be much similar to our Earth. In 1970, it had already been claimant by space scientist about the presence of water and other materials required for life on Mars, while another research done by ‘Phinix Mars Lander’ said about the basic nature of the soil on Mars. Recently, the presence of methane and formaldehyde had also been noticed in Mars by Mars orbiters. The American space agency, NASA has already sent their advanced satellite Curiosity Rover to Mars to study the environment and chemistry of the red planet's surface/ Some other photos clicked by NASA’s satellites had also shown that some very strong and huge rivers were present on the Mars long years ago.



Some photos sent by NASA’s Curiosity Rover had shown some lightning and shiny object that was moving or dancing at some distance from the satellite. Some scientists had said it was a spot on Curiosity Rover’s camera lens, but who knows what was the truth behind it? As far as we know, the spots on camera’s lens do not usually glitter and dance.
So far, with studies and research on Mars, scientists have claimed the signs of Life on Mars.

The Titan


It is the biggest moon of Saturn. The proof of water on the surface of Titan has already been found. In 2011, the scientists from NASA had claimed the presence of aliens on Titan. The data received by NASA’s Cassini probe has revealed the chemistry on Saturn’s biggest moon.

Scientists have claimed the clues for presence of aliens who are living on the Titan since a long time. While scientists are not fully sure about the alien life on Titan, they have said Titan as the only moon of Saturn having a dense and different atmosphere. Experts also think that creatures may be surviving on the planet, breathing and consuming energy in the planet’s atmosphere.

Glees 581


The planet Glees 581 was founded in 2007 and was said to be many times bigger than our Earth. This planet is situated outside our Solar System. A team of scientists from Switzerland has already claimed for the presence of water and life on this planet.

HD 189733b


HD 189733 is another alien planet that is considerably too hot to meet the conditions favorable of life. But scientist have shown doubts if some another type of life forms may be existing on such planets that have abilities to survive in such hot conditions.

Scientists have already found some creatures from Earth itself, which are able to remain alive in the vacuum of space. It really fires the thoughts of scientists that alien life forms may exist on other planets.

Also Read: NASA’s Swift satellite found signs of a new Black Hole in Milky Way galaxy.


Are scientists hiding something from us?

While scientists are continuously researching over the alien life forms on other planets, rumors have always been heard that scientists are hiding the real truth from us. It is very much clear that if someday we will come to know that we are not alone in the Universe, or if aliens themselves are a reason for our origination, then our thoughts and thinking may become something different. Several times, the rumors and news of aliens arrival has been in the air and later, all the proofs and signs are removed from the spot, leaving a similar statement for us that ‘it was just an asteroid fallen from outer space or a result of human activities’. But, it is quite uneasy to digest that the eye-witnesses changed their statements suddenly. It may be possible that it had been kept hidden from us by governments and scientists of several countries.

Do Aliens kidnap us to do research and studies on Human beings?


Do Scientists and Government keep secrets about Aliens from us?

What if they have already found the bodies of alien creatures on these spots and are doing various researches on it since a long time? What could be the real reason behind hiding the biggest secrets about aliens from us?

Do aliens come to Earth?



It has always been in news that aliens do come to our Earth from time to time. If we will go back in the past, we may find a lot of people who have claimed the presence of aliens on the Earth. The rumors about alien ships and UFOs are not at all an unknown/unheard thing for us. Some people even claim that they were kidnapped by a group of aliens and the aliens had done a lot of researches and operations in their body for several years and later they (human) were sent back to their places. After talking with their relatives and neighbors, it was proved that they had disappeared for years and when they returned, some operation marks and stitches were found all over their bodies.

Do Aliens keep visiting to the Earth? Why?

Some of the victims(kidnapped and operated by the aliens and later left on the Earth again) including both men and women said that aliens were doing something with their reproductive system. A victim said that they took out the human semen out of his testis for their researches. Another women said that she was made laid on a bed or ground and all surround by those alien creatures, some aliens operated her and they were doing something with her reproductive system, which she felt as they were producing ovum inside her for some months and repeatedly and used to take it out after a certain period of time.

Now the question arises that ‘What were they doing by operating the human bodies?’. Most of the people, who claim as they have been kidnapped by the aliens, were found totally unknown of where were they and what were they doing since this long period of time. The fact of being kidnapped and operated by aliens was only known after they were hypnotized by expert Hypnotists. While all these happenings are termed as rumors or mysteries by the scientists, there are some scientists who believe if aliens had sown the seeds of wisdom in human species.

How do the aliens look like?


If we collect the data from all over the World about the people who had claimed about seeing a giant, demon or simply say an alien creature, one thing that was very common among all the stories was the description of the alien creature! All of them says that the creature was short heightened, was having a very small and thin body(small hands, small legs, chest, tiny face, bigger and shiny crystal eyes) except their head. Their head was found considerably bigger than their other parts. Scientists have said the possibility that the aliens may be so much advanced that their big and powerful brain is their most precious property and they may so much able that they do not need to do any of their job physically. Their technology is so advanced that we humans may be no where in the race of development.


What if the Aliens are Human beings from future? Are you ready to digest such a fact?

Now, I am going to share a most shocking and mysterious possibility with everyone! I would like to connect and relate the anatomy and description of their body with the cases of human kidnapping/researches in which they are considered to be involved. It may be possible that they were putting some advanced seeds or genes into our reproductive system for the faster development, increased intelligence and betterment of human beings. But, I want to put some light on the "third" side of the coin! Because I personally think that the aliens may have visited to the Earth to find a solution or say a 'treatment' for their weakness. As it has been mentioned everywhere that their head part was massive and bigger but the other parts of body were very small, so it may have some possibilities that they visited to Earth to take human sperm and ovum with them, in order to test it with their own reproductive organs. They may be finding a treatment to be physically stronger, and they chose the homo sapiens (human beings) after seeing us as the most intelligent, and physically developed species on the Earth, which resembles to their body also. I also have a doubt, if they are no one, but human beings from the future as claimed by some great scientist and astronauts. It may be possible that their species has now reached to a point near to the end, and hence, some of the most intelligent aliens(or human beings) from future were sent to the Earth(of Past - for them) to bring healthy ovum and sperm from here.

How you would be feeling if you come to know that aliens gave us wisdom and intelligence that makes us unique from any other life form on the Earth? No doubt, they are better and more intelligent and mentally stronger than us. But, what if now they have came to the Earth to find a way for removing their physical weakness?

The achievements of Humans in resolving the mysteries of space


Humans are involved in studying the outer space and discovering new planets since many years. But, as a matter of fact, the information and knowledge we have collected by our continuous studies and researches is very less with respect to this ‘never ending Universe’. The presence of alien creatures on other planets has always a matter of attention for all the human beings. While scientists have not limited their research to a single solar system or galaxy, they have discovered several planets that are similar to the size of our Earth and they have shown the possibilities of life forms in these planets.

Scientists have even said about the possibilities of presence of such life forms on other planets that are not made of carbon element and may not need water for their survival. Some planets where life forms may exist are so far from the Earth as presently it is impossible for us to reach these planets. Scientists are working continuously to develop better probes, spaceships and satellites to reach these planets.

How to make Blogger (blogspot) blog more SEO-friendly using META tags (description and keywords)

Introduction

Do you know, why your blogs are never ranked well by Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines? Is your quality content going in waste due to least readers in your blog? Today, I am going to share a strong remedy on how to make your blogger blog more searchable and search engine optimized, using META tags and META descriptions.

How to: make Blogger (blogspot) blog more SEO-friendly using META tags/description/keywords. (BlogShrill)

What are META tags?


META tag refers to such tags which hold complete information on what your blog or website is all about. META tags are like the communication medium between your blog/website and the search engines. If your blog has META tags enabled with updated and correct information of your blog’s niche, you are having a more search engine optimized blog. Meta tags are considered a very important factor in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Blogs with proper meta tags are indexed more accurately by Search Engines.

Meta tags have two main inclusions; these are Meta description and Meta keywords. Meta description is used to describe your blog/site (what it has inside it) while Meta keywords include all the keywords that are there in your content’s text. (We may add Meta tags for our blog, as well as for each and every post in a blog separately).

Blogger blogs are not configured for meta tags by default, hence we need to do it by on our own by doing little modification in the template of our blog.

Please follow these simple steps to add meta tags into your
Blogspot (blogger) blog’s template:

  • Go to you blogger’s dashboard by visiting blogger.com
    (We are supposing you are already there).

  • Now, Go to “Template” , followed by “Edit HTML” from
    your blog’s dashboard.

  • Use ‘Ctrl+F’ key combination, and search for this tag:
<b:include data=’blog’name=’all-head-content’/>
  • Now, add the following code just below the above
    mentioned code:
<meta content=’write a description about of
your blog here
your blog here’ name=’description’/>

<meta content=’write the keywords from your
blog’s content here by separating each with a comma
blog’s content here by separating each with a comma’ name=’keywords’/>
<meta content=’write the name of the
author(s) of your blog
author(s) of your blog’ name=’author’/>

  • Now, simply save your edited template by clicking ‘Save
    template
    ’ button once and you are done!

Conclusion:

You have successfully optimized your blog by using meta tags. Now, whenever someone searches for the keywords you have entered in ‘meta keywords’, the search engines will automatically index your blog and blog posts for search results. This is how your blog is said to be optimized for search engines, by doing half of the work of search engines by yourself. Remember, we should not include non-matching or repeated keywords or false descriptions in the meta tags. Doing so, may result you blog marked as a spam by search engines. Be honest and accurate and get benefited with this cool SEO-trick.

How to make blog URL more SEO-friendly by using Custom Permalinks in Blogger/Blogspot



Introduction






Blogger has always served the best to online publishers by
present them to have their own publishing platform where they are the boss of
their own and the complete interface of your blog can be designed and modified
by on your own.








How to make blog URL more SEO-friendly by using Custom Permalinks in Blogger/Blogspot (BlogShrill)




Last year, Blogger has introduced a new and powerful feature
to boost your visibility in search engines. Now, you may write your blog post’s
URL in the same way as you write the title of your blog. Earlier, there was no
such feature to add a ‘Custom Permalink’ for your post and the permalink used
to be decided from your post’s title within 39 characters including dashes’-‘.





Let’s look into the below example to understand it more
clearly:





Suppose, you have written a post with a topic as ‘Population increase; a risk to the origin of the Earth', and so, your URL or
permalink used to be decided automatically like ‘population-increase-a-risk-to-the-origi.html’.





But, with the use of a Custom Permalink, you write you
complete title in your URL, no word limits or barriers will be there, and the
other part of your title ‘risk to the origin of the Earth’ may also be included
in the URL.





This post being posted in December, 2012, will now look as:





http://topicswhatsoever.blogspot.in/2012/12/population-increase-a-risk-to-the-origin-of-the-earth.html




Characters allowed in Custom URL are: A-Z, a-z, 0-1, dash, period
and underscore.





Is not it great friends? So what are waiting for? Just check
out your old and less optimized URLs

from old posts, revert them to Draft and
re-publish after writing a Custom URL of all of them.

Know how to write your first blog post in a blog

Introduction

I always wanted to have a blog corner where I can learn,
practice and share on blogging. But, my busy schedule and studies never let me
have one. Here, I am taking this opportunity to write my first post to a blog which is supposed to be all about blogging.

Know how to write your first blog post in a blog. (BlogShrill)


While starting, my very first challenge was to decide what to write on my first post. Then, I decided to do some research on the same over the Web and found a very common mistake among various posts. So, I thought why not to write my first post on 'writing' itself.

Here are some basic tips that should always be kept in mind
while writing a blog post-

  • Be honest with yourself and whatever you write in your blog
    posts.
    The most unique thing in your blog should be your language and way of
    writing. Remember, you are not a robot who has been programmed to write either
    in active or passive voice. Being a human, you are always free to write in your
    own style and flow.
  • Be nice and respectful to your readers. First of all, you
    need to think from a reader’s set of mind. Would you like to read a post where
    the author’s words seem to be rude and limited to the information he/she is
    sharing? For me, it’s a No. As a writer, we should always try to put efforts in
    order to make our posts more interesting.
  • If you are not perfect in English Writing skills, then you
    need not to be afraid of writing.
    Just remember, “Nobody is perfect in this
    immortal world”. The easiest way to come out of your fear is to fight and
    conquer it, hence, I would recommend you to write even more. If you will keep
    worrying on your grammatical errors, when will you get time to think about the
    topic of your post?
Now, I would to talk about an ideal article. Following are
the main requirements of an ideal article:
  • It is always recommended to add an introduction, before you start writing an article. An introduction
    simply contains a short description about what are you writing.
  • An ideal article should have an easy initialization, just like you order a starter while being in a restaurant. You initialization paragraph should be informative, but should not reveal everything that is inside your
    article.
  • Then one or more paragraphs should be written as a part of main body of your article. Here, you
    are free to be brief about your field and topic.
  • A proper conclusion,
    or ending paragraph to your article.
  • If you have something special to share on the topic of your
    article, then it should be said either in middle or ending paragraphs.
A friendly advice for you- "Write right from your heart!". That is the key requirement to
write good and brief on your niche. And this way, you may write and explore your first post in your blog.
