			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a guest post from <strong>binaryday</strong>.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/general-seo.jpg"><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright" src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/general-seo.jpg" alt="seo-keyword-stuffing" /></a></p>
<p>A few days back Raju raised some really relevant questions about <a href="http://techpp.com/2010/01/16/understanding-title-and-meta-tag-stuffing/">title and meta tag stuffing</a> in general and whether there is anything wrong with the way the title tag is used by TechPP. I shall try to answer that question based on my limited knowledge of SEO.</p>
<p>If we leave all the technical nitty gritties aside, a search engine ranks webpages based on</p>
<ol>
<li>What the webmaster says about the page (On page optimization) and</li>
<li>What others say about the page (Off page optimization)</li>
</ol>
<p>The title and meta keywords fall into the <em>on page optimization</em> i.e these terms decide what the search engine thinks the webmaster himself is saying the page is about. We should try to make sure that the search engine’s answer is same as our target keyword. I always give the example of a one page website for <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sellusedcar.in/">sell used car</a> to explain this point. (Please do not judge me by the linked page as this just a concept page)</p>
<p>Now let us see what I am telling Google about the page.</p>
<ol>
<li>The URL of the page tells Google clearly that the page and possibly entire site is about <em>sell used car</em>.</li>
<li>The title is <em>Sell Used Car online. Get the best price for your used car</em>. Again I am telling Google that the page is about sell used car.</li>
<li>If you go through that page you will see that I have left Google bot in no doubt about what the page is about. I have covered the different on page factors in a post titled <a target="_blank" href="http://binaryday.com/2009/02/15/the-best-way-to-use-keywords-on-blog-post-for-maximum-impact/">The best way to use keywords on blog post for maximum impact</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Please note that the meta description tag is not considered by Google for ranking pages. However very often the search snippet is generated from the meta description tag and hence a<strong> meaningful meta description will get more traffic even with same ranking</strong>.</p>
<p>Now let us look at the page about <a href="http://techpp.com/2010/01/16/understanding-title-and-meta-tag-stuffing/">meta tag stuffing</a> from this blog. What happens after Google bot reads the title tag. Is this about Google pagerank or keyword stuffing or search engine optimization or a combination of all? <strong>Google bot gets confused</strong> and it has to use other methods to figure out what this page is about.</p>
<h4>Why does it work for TechPP then?</h4>
<p>What Raju achieves by putting a large number of keywords in the title is that it puts the page in race for ranking on a large number of keywords. The strategy works great in case of TechPP because of 2 reasons</p>
<ol>
<li>Raju covers a lot of news related pages where there are few established site for the specific keyword</li>
<li>Most importantly TechPP scores really well on the second part of ranking algorithm i.e <strong>what others say about TechPP through their links</strong>. The large number of back-links makes Google to trust TechPP and as a result it is able to rank well for most of the keywords in its title, thereby giving it a huge traffic.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Is this blackhat?</h4>
<p>As Raju has already pointed out, title and meta tag stuffing happens when you insert large number of <strong>unrelated keywords</strong> into title or meta description. Since TechPP uses only related keywords, there is nothing wrong with this method.</p>
<h4>What will I do?</h4>
<p>If I were the webmaster of TechPP, then I will continue with the current method for most of the pages. However in cases where a page ranks for #2 or #3 position on Google, I will remove most keywords other than the few main keywords. It may very well improve the rank to #1 position and studies have shown that page at #1 position gets almost 5 times as much traffic as the page on #2 position.</p>
<h4>Over to you?</h4>
<p>What do you think about my analysis of this scenario? Please share your views in the comments and hopefully we shall have a better understanding of the scenario.</p>

<p><a href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/search-engine-optimization-seo-service-150x150.jpg"><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class="alignleft" src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/search-engine-optimization-seo-service-150x150.jpg" alt="seo-title-meta-tags" /></a></p>
<p>We have previously seen <a href="http://techpp.com/2009/08/11/10-reasons-why-seo-is-important-for-your-blog/"><strong>why SEO is important for a blog</strong></a> and also discussed about the <a href="http://techpp.com/2009/12/10/googles-personalized-search-new-challenges-for-seo/"><strong>growing challenges</strong></a> for SEO experts. Both these posts were written by guest bloggers &#8211; Amit &amp; Mohsin, who have sufficient knowledge and experience in SEO activities.</p>
<p>My knowledge is limited to the experience I have gained while experimenting with TechPP over the past year and a half. When I started blogging on TechPP (in Sep 2008) I had not even heard of the term &#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221;. It was during December 2008, when I registered myself for SEO Challenge competition at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dollarshower.com/">Dollarshower </a>,I got an opportunity to explore SEO. I made considerable progress during that time and eventually ended being the runner-up there!</p>
<p>A year down the line, TechPP is considered amongst the <strong>best technology blogs</strong> with more than <strong>5k RSS subscribers</strong> and <strong>1.75 million page views</strong> per month. I attribute a minor part of this success to my SEO efforts.</p>
<p>If you are wondering, why I am writing about SEO all of a sudden, a blogger friend <del datetime="2010-01-16T17:12:34+00:00">accused</del> posted that TechPP resorts to Title and Meta Tag stuffing! Oopss! That one almost sounds like Blackhat! The post made me sit back and cross check if I am doing anything wrong. This post is result of that small analysis I did.</p>
<h3>Understanding Title and Meta Tag Stuffing</h3>
<p>According to SEOGlossary, Meta Tag stuffing is defined as</p>
<blockquote><p>Repeating keywords in the meta tags and using meta keywords that are <strong>unrelated to the site&#8217;s content</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>So, what is a keyword then?</p>
<blockquote><p>a word that a search engine user might use to find relevant web page(s). If a keyword doesn&#8217;t appear anywhere in the text of your web page, it&#8217;s highly unlikely your page will appear in the search results</p></blockquote>
<p>Fine. How about Meta Keywords then?</p>
<blockquote><p>a meta tag hidden in the HTML that lists keywords relevant to the page&#8217;s content. Because search engine spammers have abused this tag so much, this tag <strong>provides little to no benefit to your search rankings</strong>. Of the major search engines, only Yahoo! still pays any attention to the meta keywords tag</p></blockquote>
<p>Notice the bolded phrases above. Meta keywords (or meta tags) are no more considered by Google, so stuffing or no stuffing should not impact your search engine performance!</p>
<p>Coming back to the original post which alerted its readers to avoid Title and meta tag stuffing by giving the example of TechPP, here is what it had to say -</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="meta-tag-stuffing" href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/meta-tag-stuffing.jpg"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="attachment wp-att-8811 centered" src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/meta-tag-stuffing.jpg" alt="meta-tag-stuffing" width="610" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Interesting, isn&#8217;t it?! He is right in saying that Title tag stuffing and meta tag stuffing is harmful and we shouldn&#8217;t do, but he is wrong in picking up TechPP as an example. Why? Because, if you see the source code of any post, there are no keywords unrelated to the site content. Yes, I do append tags to the title, but they all are related and restricted to 16 keywords (max).</p>
<p>Let us take the example of my previous post. Here is its title -</p>
<pre>
&lt;?title&gt;Hilarious Collection of Photoshop Cartoons [Geeky Fun] -
cartoons based on photoshop, funny photoshop, geek humor, geeky fun,
photoshop cartoon, photoshop cartoons, TimePass -
Technically Personal!&lt;?/title&gt;
</pre>
<p>and meta keywords</p>
<pre>
&lt;?meta name="keywords" content="cartoons based on photoshop,
funny photoshop, geek humor, geeky fun, photoshop cartoon,
photoshop cartoons, TimePass" /&gt;
</pre>
<p>It is true that, irrespective of how many tags I use as meta keywords, they are ignored by Google, but is it harmful? I don&#8217;t think so. I am neither misleading Google nor manipulating it in any way.</p>
<h4>End Note</h4>
<p>I am very much open for inputs from the SEO experts and would love to be proved wrong and happy to correct myself. But I believe Google is smart enough to catch hold of scammers and not so foolish to send millions of users towards my site every month! Mind you, the site is year and a half old and page rank has never ever dropped before. So 2 questions before I end</p>
<p>1) What exactly is Title &amp; meta tag stuffing?<br />
2) Are they even relevant in today&#8217;s SEO?</p>
<p><em>Over to you</em>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last day of 2009! The year just whistled past and we had a wonderful time over the last 364 days! List posts have always been the USP of Technically Personal and I was requested to do a roundup series by some regular readers. How can I ever say NO to you guys?!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wordpress_buttons.jpg" title="top-wordpress-posts"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wordpress_buttons.jpg" alt="top-wordpress-posts" width="600" height="250" class="attachment wp-att-8580 centered" /></a></p>
<p>I will start off the Roundup series with a list of 10 popular posts, related to Wordpress in specific and Blogging in general, published on TechPP in 2009. The frequency of posts on Wordpress dropped as the year went by, but still there were some really useful and popular posts over the last 12 months. The posts are not ranked as such, but just based on popularity in terms of comments made, page views and personal likings.</p>
<h3>Top 10 Wordpress Posts in 2009</h3>
<p>Kindly note that the posts are in no particular order.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://techpp.com/2009/02/08/how-i-reduced-spam-by-9999-on-my-wordpress-blog/"><strong>How I Reduced Spam by 99.99% on my Wordpress Blog?</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>I still use this method to filter out most of the spam comments from my blog, especially those which are left by spam-bots. The article explains how we can use Anti-spam bee along with Akismet to keep away those spam bots on a Wordpress blog. On the hind-sight I feel 99.99% was bit exaggerated, but still useful nevertheless.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://techpp.com/2009/02/19/27-stunning-yet-free-premium-wordpress-magazine-news-themes/"><strong>27 Stunning Yet Free Premium Wordpress Magazine &amp; News Themes</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Possibly my best list post till date, which got lots of link love and traffic &#8211; both organic and inorganic. This was written at a time when I was mad about Wordpress themes (specially magazine themes) and used to know about every single free news based theme at that time. The best part about this theme is, other than getting some good traffic, people still thank me as it helped them choose a theme of their choice.

</ul>
<p>This is one of my favorite tutorial posts of all time. Feedburner was recently acquired by Google and was (is still) running through all sort of problems. Many popular blogs used to display their <strong>RSS subscribers count in text</strong> but at the same time they never bothered to fix a bug which would show &#8220;NA&#8221; at the beginning of every day. I guess this bug is still very much present, so it might help some fellow publishers.</p>

<p>Another popular list post which got good amount of hits and link love from fellow publishers. Pretty straight-forward and useful. I wrote some similar posts like <a href="http://techpp.com/2009/06/18/top-10-wordpress-gallery-plugins/">Wordpress Gallery plugins</a>. Check them out.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s no secret that I <del datetime="2009-12-31T10:56:58+00:00">hate </del>don&#8217;t like Thesis theme and this post stands as a proof/reason for that.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know this is late, but on time for <a href="http://techpp.com/2009/12/15/nexus-one-google-phone-pricing-and-release-date/">Nexus One launch</a>! If you are reading this post via iPhone/iPod Touch or your Android phone, you might have already observed that TechPP is now loading faster than before and looking different than usual.</p>
<p>We are now using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bravenewcode.com/wptouch/"><strong>WPtouch </strong></a>plugin for Wordpress, which is an entire theme package for Wordpress blogs. It is modeled after Apple&#8217;s app store design specs and promises to make the website load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show the content beautifully, all while not interfering with the regular theme.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/photo.jpg" title="techpp-wptouch"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/photo.jpg" alt="techpp-wptouch" width="320" height="480" class="attachment wp-att-8575 centered" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Update</strong>: We had to take off wp-touch due to compatibility issues with other plugins. We are currently trying to figure out an alternate and better solution, will keep you updated.</em></p>
<h3>What&#8217;s hot?</h3>
<p>I suppose this is really helpful for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android users as it speeds up the page load considerably and even the content readability seems improved. I was pleasantly surprised to see the way the images are displayed within the post. The installation and configuration was simple ans straight forward. In case someone loves to see the desktop version one can easily do that by turning OFF the mobile version at the bottom of the screen. The page load speed advantage may not be too apparent on a wifi connection, but it is pretty much evident on 3G, EDGE or GPRS.</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s not?</h3>
<p>Though the plugin provides an option to input our adsense ID and insert an ad on top of every post/page, it seriously hamper the advertising revenue. CPM based banner ads are no more displayed. For a site which gets considerable number of smartphone visitors, this is a big con.</p>
<p>Another negative is that the uniqueness which comes with the theme design is lost as the onus is just on the content and hence a generic theme is displayed for all iphone/android visitors. No logo, no favicon, no additional plugin features.</p>
<h3>Over to you</h3>
<p>I would love to hear back from you guys &#8211; do you like this? or do you prefer the default desktop theme? Do you see any improvement in page load time? Shoot your opinions!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This is a guest post by <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.khmohsin.com/">Mohsin Khawaja</a>.</em></p>
<p>Google has recently announced &#8220;<em>Personalized Search For Everyone</em>&#8221; even when a particular user is not signed in.</p>
<blockquote><p>When you search using Google, we will be able to better provide you with the most relevant results possible.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the statement mentioned in a post on Google&#8217;s Blog. Google will attempt to show you the results based on your previous interest history and will present you results from your favored sites.</p>
<p>Currently this feature has following characteristics:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is based upon 180 days of search activity linked to an anonymous cookie in the browser.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s completely separate from Google Account and Web History (which are only available to signed-in users)</li>
<li>A &#8220;View customizations&#8221; link will appear on the top right of the search results page, to let user see what customization Google has to offer.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="personalized-search" href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/personalized-search.jpg"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="attachment wp-att-8083 centered" src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/personalized-search.jpg" alt="personalized-search" width="408" height="104" /></a></p>
<h4>Potential Questions:</h4>
<p>With Google&#8217;s New Search Index &#8220;<strong>Caffeine</strong>&#8221; being put into action, which is aimed at new methods of crawling and indexing of web-pages, and now this &#8220;<strong>personalized search</strong>&#8221; and similar other steps from Google, a few question &#8220;crawl&#8221; into our minds:</p>
<ul>
<li>Google is focusing too much on customization and personalization, is it a counter effort against SEOs?</li>
<li>I think it will kill variety from SERPS, and only established brand and authority sites will rank better and most?</li>
<li>The search market is getting conserved and arrival of new authority sites is more challenging?</li>
<li>New sites will see unfair competition because Search Engines are not on their sides either?</li>
<li>Also it is not necessary that a researcher is always interested in seeing results from favorite sites only, at the top?</li>
<li>To determine what is the actual ranking of a Website will become even more difficult in future.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have more ideas how it will effect today’s Internet Market, kindly share it in the comments below.</p>

<p>Mark Essel has written a nice <a target="_blank" href="http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009/10/15/how-to-embed-google-wave-on-your-wordpress-blog/">article </a>on how to embed Google Wave on a Wordpress blog. Follow the simple steps below:</p>
<p>1. Install the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009/10/15/how-to-embed-google-wave-on-your-wordpress-blog/">wavr plugin</a> and activate it.</p>
<p>2. Once you have activated the plugin, you would need the WAVE ID to embed the wave.<br />
<code>[wave id="WAVE_ID"]</code></p>
<p>3. In order to find the Wave ID, check out the wave URL. If Google Wave URL is<br />
<strong>https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BSsJfE3HIC</strong></p>
<p>the wave ID will be <strong>googlewave.com!w%252BSsJfE3HIC</strong></p>
<p>4. Using Wavr plugin, you will have other parameters like setting the background color and others.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! You can embed any wave onto your Wordpress blog now. Note that, it slows down the page load and reaction time considerably.</p>
<h3>How to Embed Google Wave on ANY website?</h3>
<p>In case you are not on Wordpress and still want to add Google wave on your website, you don&#8217;t need to fret. There is an easier option for you.</p>
<p>1. Add <code>embeddy@appspot.com</code> to your Wave contacts.</p>
<p>2. Add embeddy to your new or existing wave.</p>
<p>3. It will show the code snippet and some options like changing the width, height, background color, font etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="wave-embed-code" href="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wave-embed-code.jpg"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="attachment wp-att-7942 centered" src="http://techpp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/wave-embed-code.jpg" alt="wave-embed-code" width="413" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>4. Copy that somewhere, or paste it in the Notepad.</p>
<p>5. Now you can remove Embeddy and add <code>public@a.gwave.com</code> so you can make your Google Wave viewable in public.</p>
<p>6. Note the wave ID just as explained in step 3 of the tutorial on embedding wave on Wordpress blog.</p>
<p>7. Copy the script before <code></body> </code>tag and place the <code>
<div></code> tag wherever you like to see the Wavelet.</p>
<p>Hope you found this useful. Let me know in case you like to see any other tutorial on Google Wave.</p></div>

<p>Google Friend Connect plugin for Wordpress has been officially released. All these days, Google Friend Connect was available as a widget, but now there’s a more simpler way to use Friend Connect for WordPress , thanks to <a target="_blank" href="http://googlesocialweb.blogspot.com/2009/10/strengthen-your-blogs-community-google.html">Mauro Gonzalez</a> who developed this FriendConnect plugin  plugin to extend GFC to WordPress blogs.</p>
<p>This plugin allows your visitors to authenticate using any OpenID account such as Google, Yahoo, or AIM and then comment on your posts with no need to complete a registration form.</p>
<blockquote><p>When a visitor authenticates as described above, a WordPress account is automatically created for them. You can later add or remove permissions for the visitor from the WordPress site administration pages. If desired, WordPress comments can be replaced by Google Friend Connect comments gadgets.</p></blockquote>
<p>The idea behind Friend Connect is to have a unified presence across any number of blogs and sites hosted by various services. This eliminates the need to register and manage multiple, separated accounts on different sites. It can be seen as a Facebook Connect competitor of sorts, though the two tools have different target audiences and goals. The main draw of Friend Connect is the ability to leave a comment that is connected to a real account, as opposed to just leaving an anonymous one, without having to create a new one. </p>
<p>Installing the plugin is as easy as any other WordPress plugin and requires you to sign up your site with Friend Connect and then download and install it. Detailed instructions can be found <a target="_blank" href="http://code.google.com/p/wp-gfc/wiki/Installation"><strong>here</strong></a>. </p>

<p><em>This is a Guest post from <strong><a target="_blank" title="S.Pradeep Kumar" href="http://www.hellboundbloggers.com/about/">S.Pradeep Kumar</a></strong>.</em></p>
<p>Your blog design might be perfectly optimized for the Desktops. But lot of people out there frequently checks your blog for new content using their mobile. You can track that using Google Analytics.</p>
<p>Readers are not interested in the sidebars, navigation part and other sections. When a title is clicked, a mobile friendly version of that page should open on the screen of their mobile phone. Mobile sites are gaining popularity now-a-days. You can easily <a target="_blank" title="Create a mobile site using Google Reader" href="http://www.hellboundbloggers.com/tutorials/make-mobile-version-of-blog-with-google-readers">create a mobile site using Google Reader</a>. Below I mentioned five reasons why you should consider mobile-friendly version of your blog.</p>
<p><strong>1. Increase the mobile traffic : </strong> Browsing through mobile is common now-a-days. Most of the mobiles released today have Internet facility. You can access it anywhere and also at any time. When people use the mobile web they are there for a specific reason. They don&#8217;t have time to search aimlessly. If your site is optimized for mobile users, they are more likely to click on the links instead of a regular blog designed for PC.</p>
<p><strong>2. Targeted advertising :</strong> You can easily hit the mark when choosing right market for your product or any service, since people visit for a specific and targeted reason. With the variation in screen size, choose an advertising platform that offers different ad sizes to accommodate all mobile phones. Get right to the point in ads, telling the user what you want from them. It allows you to reach out to a new group of potential customers.</p>
<p><strong>3. Extra Revenue :</strong> Mobile ads will provide you with an additional revenue channel from your blog. Also, your ad is the only one that will appear since only one page is shown at a time. It is not like the PC where you can switch between pages any time that you wish. In Mofuse, you can also integrate your mobile optimized site with Google AdSense and AdMob if you have a Partner ID.</p>
<p><strong>4. Increase Popularity : </strong> Yes it increases popularity of your blog. Keeping a mobile site for your blog helps to increase its popularity. Your readers will think good about it, since you have created a mobile friendly site for them to access when they are in mobile web, at anytime and anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>5. Make Your Readers Happy : </strong> You can make your readers happy by helping them to read your blog on the go. They may think less of you and your blog if you don&#8217;t have a mobile site of your blog that they love. Nobody finds enjoyable to read a PC-optimized blog in Mobile. Most of the PC optimized blogs are unnavigable.</p>
<p>Are you thinking your readers expect cool and attractive design of your blog in their mobile? Think once again! All they need is a decent design of your blog. That&#8217;s all. And the posts and articles should be in reverse chronological order.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note</strong>:</em> Optimizing your website for mobiles is very important, since many users who access your website via mobiles might still be accessing it through GPRS or other low-speed and low-bandwidth technologies. One should consider this point and optimize their websites exclusively for mobiles. We will see different ways to make websites &#8220;mobile friendly&#8221; in coming days.</p></blockquote>
