Optimize a blog

We use so many WordPress plugins to optimize a blog for SEO. All in One SEO plugin is probably the best and most used by bloggers to optimize their blog. I believe that every advanced WordPress blogger use it and I do not see why they shouldn’t do that. The benefit is that once you set it up and can forget it forever. It will give you great results because your blog will become more visible on Google for visitors. Results are guaranteed on Google WEB search but what to do to get more visitors from Google IMAGE search?

Optimize blog’s images

Google image search is a part of Google so why not to take a benefit from it? Lots of people use image search so this is a good way to get more visitors from Google as well. Next step is to make your images SEO friendly. Many bloggers forget it or don’t even know what to do. To do that download a great plugin called “SEO Friendly images plugin“. All you have to do is choose the options you need. This plugin is very useful for bloggers who has no knowledge of  HTML as well as photo bloggers. Just install this plugin as any other WordPress plugin and enjoy the traffic from Google image search. There is a screen so you can take a look at it. With this plugin you may update ALT and TITLE attributes easily. That is why you don’t need to have a knowledge of HTML.

Twitter has become so popular in a very short time. That means everyone use it. And if you are not a member yet you should become one immediately because Twitter may give you a lot. At first sight, Twitter may give you the incredible results. Traffic is the main thing you can get from Twitter. I reckon we need it and will never refuse to get more visitors to our blog but how to get more benefit from Twitter? Let’s research it in details.

If you twitted on Twitter you would notice that every link you use is tinyurled. That means we get no benefit from it. The only benefit is traffic we get. We need our link to be visible because this is the only way to show the keywords we have used in our link. To do it, you will need a plugin called Twitter Tools. What does Twitter tools do and how it can help us?

The main point is that this WordPress plugin allows you to send your blog posts to Twitter as a tweet and show a full link with all the keywords in it as well as publish your tweets on your blog. However, lets focus on the links that may appear on Twitter. To download this plugin go on Twitter tools website.

Now i will try to explain how to make this plugin working. All the steps are very easy and will not take much time. So lets do it and connect WordPress to Twitter:

1) The first thing you need to do is install the plugin. As a blogger you should know how to do that.

2) When you are finished you will need to create a Twitter application. The process is simple. To make a Twitter application go on twitter tools plug-in’s settings page. There you will see a link. Click on the link and create it.

3) When you have it you will need a Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access Token and Access Token secret. All of them you will find on Twitter application page.

Using these keys your WordPress is connected to Twitter.

4) And the last thing you need to do is configure your Twitter tools plug-in. Don’t forget to enable option to create a tweet when you publish a new post in your blog.There are more options but it’s up to you how to set them up.

That is probably all steps you have to do. I hope it will help you get more from Twitter.

Have you ever wondered if your blog or website was blacklisted? Well, before telling you more I would like to exclude two types of block list. The first one is LHSBL, and the second one is RHSBL. Actually there are more but I am going to talk about two most common block lists.

RHSBL means Right Hand Side Block List, and it is the same as DNSBL. As you can see it is DNS based block list, and it doesn’t matter how you call it. You can name it a black hole, blacklist or block list. And if your computer or network would be linked to spamming you got a negative message. LHSBL means Left Hand Side Block List.

I will not tell you what to do to be removed from any list, but you can check if your website or blog is not blacklisted. And if you are listed on any list you will be able to see why your website has been blocked. There are two types of the list. White list and black list, so you will get information on both. Just go on blacklistalert.org and use this free service. Look at my results I’ve got.

If we need to find information, we always use Google as a primary search engine. Google is our search engine number one but there are more search engines like Bing or Yahoo which people use. And when we try to find something we really need it doesn’t mean that we will find information on the first page. Very often we need to click on the second, third, fourth page to find the most relevant post to our search.
Google Assistant will improve the relevancy on Google, Bing or Yahoo by up to 40%. This Firefox add-on will help you find more relevant information on your desired subject. You will be impressed by the results.

When you click on the link Google (Or other search engine) will re-rank the whole thing trying to bring you the most relevant information. It seems it is very useful add-on which can make our search easier. Unleash the power of search with this Google Assistant add-on. Just use this link to get the add-on (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6549/)

At first sight it looks that it is very easy to use the old and common Print screen command. You just click PrtSc key on your keyboard, then you need to open the image editing software called Paint and save your screen as image. It takes time and it’s not so convenient. We used this method long time ago, didn’t we?

There is a solution for those who use this key as often as I do. Now you won’t need to follow these steps when you want to make or capture a screen because there is a FireFox Add-on called Screengrab (download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146/). I just made a screen of it so you can have a look at it.

It will let you choose from four different options. This Mozilla FireFox add-on is very convenient and gives you flexibility. You can save all you web site as one image without seeing the bottom of your web. Just try it. I recommend it for every blogger because it has more than one option. Highly rated. You may also check other useful FTP add-on for bloggers.
