“The new tool will allow you to look at keywords through three important metrics – frequency, competitiveness and commerciality”

• What metrics do you really need?
• Do you need prediction of the daily traffic a keyword may attract or do you just want to know the frequencies in our own database?
• How useful and accurate is the keyword effectiveness index (KEI)?
• What alternative ways to rank keywords would you like to see?
• How can we best report the competitiveness of a keyword?
• How do you uncover commercial intent?

It really does not matter if you are new to blogging and what page rank you have all you really need is focus on Top Keywords and blogs that rank number one for keywords like example: “Make Money Online” or “Best Technology Blogs”

This is what I would like you to do!

Do research which blog is number 1 for keyword you are looking for. Then go to that blog and leave comment in way you don’t sound like spammer yet you want to draw traffic from that blog to your blog (blog post).

If you notice also that blog is accepting Post Trackbacks write a GOOD blog post on your blog and link to that blog post which is ranking No.1 for specific keyword.
This trick worked for me each time, I would get at least 500 visitors each month from each blog that rank number one.

So it really does not matter if you rank 12403 for keyword like “make money online” because your comment or Trackback is going to give you pretty much good exposure to people, that were interested in that keyword.

The only thing this simple blog with very gentle look did not have is About page, I was so interested reading that after I was finished I wanted to find out more about authors and who the founder is yet I was not able to find it.

So anyways blogs like this should be rewarded for great content they provide and simplicity of navigation. I mean just checkout their Categories how they are setup, loving it!

What does this tell you?

Great content will catch your audience attention, the better content it is the more loyal visitors you will get and on top of that they will stay longer on your site because they are interested in your writing and content.

1. SE Optimization (SEO) – The pages on your site are checked for the
percentage of keywords you want to target, and the quality of the
content on the page. Your SEO consultant should make recommendations
regarding your site content to improve it in the eye of the Search
Engines.
Key search engines like MSN and AOL Search still rely on metatags or
html code that include keywords related to your site. A good SEO
optimization of your metatags can mean the difference of a #40 ranking
vs. a Top 20 ranking.

2. Pay per click (PPC) – PPC search engines like Overture (formerly
Goto.com) and Findwhat can get you targeted, fast traffic while you are
patiently watching the other search engines to rank your site.
Recently, Overture’s top 3 keywords results show up at the top of
searches on Yahoo! above the Yahoo! paid sites. For some keywords,
paying for a top 3 position can be very expensive, but with careful
research you can find some keywords available for 5 cents per click.

3. Regular monitoring – You should get an initial report in 4-6 weeks
and then preferably a monthly report. Your SEO consultant should
provide ideas on achieving better rankings for keywords that are not
doing as well as you’d like to see. While a Top 10 ranking is the
ideal, some Top 20 rankings are realistic.

4. Inclusion in select pay for inclusion SE indexes and directories –
Inclusions in fee based can be useful if you want to target specific
search engines or directories like Looksmart and Yahoo! Depending on
your budget, you may want to purchase inclusion right away or hold off
until the other Search Engines pick you up first. Your SEO consultant
should provide the option to help you get into fee-based inclusions,
and be able to explain the benefits and differences of each one.

5. Submission to key SE directories – To rank well on Google and in
turn, Yahoo! web pages, you need to be listed in the Open Directory
Project directory. Directories like ODP are human edited and depending
on the category, it can take from 3 weeks to 2 months to get accepted.

There is two parts to this topic

• It can hurt your reputation
• You make money and live happily ever after

It Can Hurt Your Reputation

If you are somebody who has high profile on Twitter let say 5.000 followers and more, you probably are going to be targeted person by spammers. They will ask you to advertise for them via tweets and in exchange you will get money.  First of all ask your self, is this something I would tweet if “spammer” wouldn’t ask me? Is tweet you are asked to write too spamish ? If your answer to all questions is Yes just skip the whole BS and read “You Make Money And Live Happily Ever After”.

If your answer is NO, my advise to you is to stop look like Pig with $ $ sign eyes. Remember that sooner or later one of your followers will find out who the spammer is, they might even write about it and then what? Your twitter reputation is over, your blog reputation is over. Ok maybe not over, but many of people will un-follow you and think of you as somebody that has money and is just greedy. Oh and such people are most likely banned from Twitter or their accounts are suspended.

You Make Money and Live Happily Ever After

If you chose to make money you better hide that very good. That’s all I can say. I would feel guilty and considered my self spammer.  Well at least you make money and live happily ever after….

See what I am talking about? Look at those related topics, each of the links above now will receive backlink from me of PR3-4 !

Here are few things bloggers should do to take one step ahead:

• Socializing – Sign up with different sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Plurk, Twitter talk to other people about your new post , ask them what do they think about , do that have any different opinions
• Advertising – Blog with that much page views can only receive about $10-$30 per month via Adsense yet they could receive more by
• Style of Writing – Maybe your style of writing sucks and need some change, have you ever think of placing Poll on your blog post, have you ever write something about personal experience of blogging
• Navigation and Theme – Your blog could be cluttered with ads or not enough navigational , have you ever think to change your theme , look and feel of your blog? Example what not to do
• Linking to others – Just because you think sharing other blog link will decrease your revenue , you got that wrong. In most cases that same blog(ger) will link back and that way you will receive more traffic.
• Images – Some blogs don’t have any images posted and I think thats just wrong, use images to express your self and not only with words.

Now that you have few ideas on how to increase your traffic and change your style of blogging your homework is to improve your traffic by end of this month! Feel free to list your blog below and at the end of this month ill check your traffic improvements. I wish also to know what you changed

Out of blue Alley Insider blogger Michael Lernmonth decided to write about Tinycrunch and LiveCrunch in this post (TinyCrunch, LiveCrunch: Parasites, Or Just Blogs Doing What Bloggers Do?) , his thoughts are that TC and LC are copying things from TechCrunch and using word “Crunch” to get more attention, and that might be the truth for TinyCrunch because I really haven’t seen any of their posts “yet” , but on the other hand me as Blogger at LiveCrunch and with over 11 years of expreience in IT field , I decided to write things about what’s going on in blogsphere ( here is my response to Alley Insider )

Ok I will assume by now that you see what is going on? One blogger using their publicity and bashing on another bloggers without asking them questions like “How do you come up with blog posts, Who are you and what is your name, What is your experience, How long do you blog already, How did you come up with that domain name and why?” ….you see where I am going?

Anyways what I would like to share with you today is something that you should really watch out as blogger, because there could be some positive and negative things that you might regret later on.

I have seen many Top Blogs using their audience to crush another blog and that seems to be working, yet if your facts aren’t strong or valid then you do not want to do that. Here is an example of TechCrunch , for some of you this post might be great and funny , but for IT people that read TechCrunch for past 2-3 years it is not, because it has nothing to do with technology news, it has nothing to do with new startup company . And that my fellow bloggers is something you do not want to do no matter how popular your blog is.

Leave your personal things aside for private conversations, but keep your blog clean.

If there is blog that started writing bad things about you, and you want to make things straight , just leave comment  make fool out of them or if its something about your blog , write post as I did in positive way yet keep the topic close to the niche you are writing about. Turn the negative attitude into positive.

Dear bloggers, don’t use your blog as attack weapon, unless its something that you need help with.

Like not to long ago Darren Rowse at Problogger got banned from StumbleUpon, after his post 1hour later StumbleUpon unbanned him.
