			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Creating a blog/website is really easy with all the available templates, easy to use tools to create layout and pages with or without programming knowledge, the challenge is getting traffic to your blog/site which means getting hit/visits from users. It is really challenging with all the websites/blogs coming out like mushrooms (cant think of other sample). Anyways, here are the basic elements that make up a good SEO foundation for starter pages or blogs?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Title Tag</span><br />With Title Tag included at every page, it can be the most powerful on-site SEO technique. You have to determine the exact targeted keywords inside the Title Tag because it will be used as your Title in search engins. Give different Title Tag for every web page you have, that will make your site optimized enough and also avoiding the supplemental result in Google search.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Meta tags</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alt Tags</span><br />If you place some image inside your site, it would be better if you are using the Alt Tags as additional SEO techniques. If the image didn’t show, the Alt Tags would tell the visitor what it’s about. Why you should use it? Simple answer…. With placing additional keywords inside the Alt Tags, your site will contain rich-targeted-keywords. Don’t even try for spamming and keep it at the normal level when locating your keywords here. Spamming or keyword manipulation will be wipes away from Google SE index.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rich Contents</span><br />If you keep your site get updated frequently, search engines will seek and crawl the content inside your site more often. Building more content such as articles, FAQ, tips, recipes, etc. will make your site keep updated. Create as much as possible and keep each web pages has density around 200 to 400 words. Link your contents to other related contents whether inside your site or outside of your site. Get the related link as much as possible, but avoid the link farm technique.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keyword Density</span><br />Density of your keyword at your site is very vital and should be done with some research with trials and errors. To make the normal SEO techniques for your keyword, you should use the keyword(s) at least once in the title tag, heading tag, bolding text, and make sure that your keword density reaches 5% to 20% from overall of your contents. Don’t give too many keywords since it would be bad for SEO and will make your site categorized as keyword spamming and keyword manipulation. This will make your site wipes away from search engines index. Whenever possible, use your keyword(s) on the most top and the most bottom of your web page. When create any paragraph, make sure your keyword(s) located in the first sentence and in the last sentence inside the paragraph.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Link Popularity</span><br />Is the most powerful off-page SEO for your site. Most search engines will consider the existence of any website, if there’s one or more links pointing to the web site. This Link Popularity technique is very important when it comes to getting your site a good ranking. It can be done by having another site(s) link to your web site. Make sure your keywords included at the pointed links you get and you should keep the keywords short. There’s a method called link exchange for gaining Link Popularity technique. Beware, some websites won’t increase your rank, even it may reduce your rank in search engine’s sight. If you want to make a link exchange, you have to check the site before pointing your link to their site. If their site is at bad behavior, your site will get some penalty from SE and even get banned from the list.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">On Page Cross Linking</span><br />With this SEO technique, all of your web pages will be indexed by search engines. Keep the depth of your page no more than three links away from your main page. Make your related topics linking each other across your site. With this technique, your site will have more behaviors and give your visitors additional features. Don’t forget to locate a link back to your main page for each page inside your site, because your visitors always need the links to get back to your main home page.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Page Size</span><br />Your visitor will be happy if the loading time of your page is very fast. It makes the speed of your webpage is very important things you have to notice, because your visitors don’t want waiting when they’re accessing your website. Also, search engines will visit your page more frequently rather than another site with hard loading time. I can say that because with the fast loading time will make search engine robots crawling your web page easier and faster. The normal size for each of your web page is less than 15k, the proper loading time is less than 2 sec, Try to tes here</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Once you’ve improved your existing copy or post in your blog, it’s time to think about how you create copy in the future. The technique is simple – use keyword research as the inspiration for what you write. For example if you find people are looking for ‘friendster designs or multiply themes’(which is popular here in the Philippines) you may decide to write a piece of content such as ‘Free Friendster themes or Free Multiply layout’.</p>
<p>When you use keyword research for inspiration for your writing, you’ll know that people are genuinely interested in what you’re going to write and that you can create search engine friendly copy in record time.</p>
<p>Here’s a simple way of planning what you should write:</p>
<p>   1. Get your list of important keywords again (Choose which has a more demand).<br />   2. Write down a list of major customers needs in your industry<br />   3. Match a keyword with a major customer need and draw up a list of article titles<br />   4. Get writing and publish your articles.</p>
<p>It is just basic SEO thing, if you want to know more about SEO and its secret,  <a href="http://seoquery.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Click Here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Blogging has never been so popular today and the need of spreading the news and your blog is getting popular these days, there are already many tools around there in promoting blogs and getting as much traffic as possible and one of the most popular tools are online/social bookmarking widgets and also help in the SERP.</p>
<p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Widgets work like displaying a particular post post/blog in a container that is related to your blog or topic, it is like an external link but it revolves around the blog/site with that particular widget, your site will post automatically to another site with the same widget depending on what community you are in or a member with.</p>
<p>These sites offer the most popular blog widgets today and most of all, they are free.  (My preference).</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhKAkJgd6I/AAAAAAAAAFM/RBNcKH5FH9I/s1600-h/blogrush.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhKAkJgd6I/AAAAAAAAAFM/RBNcKH5FH9I/s320/blogrush.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226508741127468962" border="0" /></a><br />1. <a href="http://www.blogrush.com/r71710974" target="_blank">Blogrush</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pros: This is one of the that dominate the widget market today, their services are good and generate good topic in terms of publishing blogs. It is easy to join and it is free. The blogs or links they generate are of good quality, It needs approval before it can be approved.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cons: You cannot edit the widget layout, to few accessiblity to its fellow users, like communities, social bookmarkings. Few options to choose to promote in its members.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhLsV3iWMI/AAAAAAAAAFU/QHxIzl6ob94/s1600-h/blogcatalog.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhLsV3iWMI/AAAAAAAAAFU/QHxIzl6ob94/s320/blogcatalog.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226510592719870146" border="0" /></a>2. <a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/" target="_blank">Blog Catalog</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">  Pros: It is the most popular social networking site and widget today. Its<span class="style2"> growth is quite phenomenal. According to Alexa,        BlogCatalog traffic has superseded Yahoo&#8217;s own MyBlogLog. BlogCatalog        is currently ranked at 1,151 and an estimated to have 100,000        or more visitors. There are currently 73,000 blogs currently        registered on BlogCatalog. It also has a PageRank of 7 which        shows its authority on Google</span>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cons: To many menus/buttons, confusing to beginners (sorry thats all I can say).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhOBzaJbAI/AAAAAAAAAFc/OULrnztINj0/s1600-h/mybloglog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OUlFe7S02tE/SIhOBzaJbAI/AAAAAAAAAFc/OULrnztINj0/s320/mybloglog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226513160450173954" border="0" /></a><br />3.  <a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/join_comm.php?ref_id=2008072400514185" target="_blank">MyBlogLog</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Pros:  It is a social bookmarking that is getting popular fast and as result bought by google for 10 million dollars, It has a very good interface when it comes to customizing widgets and it is easy to use, a lot of traffic is also generated and has a lot of community to choose from</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cons: Its popularity is declining for unknown reasons, maybe the competition is getting rough or many are switching to other widgets, it  is not as consistent as mentioned above. It is free but the features are not as full as the payed account.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here you go, these are my list, there are still more out there and appearing in the web, it will help a lot in SEO your pages, just be careful in putting widgets as it may or sometimes affect the loading times of some blogs, but its still feasible if you want to have a high traffic in the blogosphere.</p>
