Promote Your Blog! Promote Your Site! v.1.1: Using Meta tags Effectively

[This is a complete re-write of the Promote Your Site! Promote Your Blog! post that I published last week. I've removed the other post, re-done it to add additional information and increased clarity. So, if you've already read the other one, it is worth reading this new version as well.]

Your ability to successfully promote your site, and drive traffic to it, is what will determine its commercial viability (ie. its potential to make you money). All of the strategies for developing revenue streams online -- Affiliate programs, selling e-products or traditional ones, using Google AdSense, etc.. -- depend on bringing traffic to your website (or blog). Your income potential will be determined by the number of visitors to your site. Of course, your content and the quality of your products are important factors too, and will encourage return visits and word of mouth referrals, but without successful site promotion, the other aspects of your site will never have a chance to shine.

There are two approaches when undertaking the task of increasing traffic to your site. The first is external site promotion. This involves submitting your site to search engines and directories, reciprocal linking with sites of similar content, getting exposure in forums, writing useful articles for online articles databases, and many other things. The other approach is internal and primarily involves optimizing your site content and structure to make it search engine friendly.

These two aspects to developing high traffic go hand in hand, and I'll be talking about both in future entries to this blog, and I think they need to be your primary concern before exploring the actual income opportunities you'll be employing to making money. Once you know how to build adequate traffic to your site, then you can concentrate on income generating initiatives like AdSense and affiliate programs. But I think too often people build a website or start a blog, and immediately sign up for AdSense and every affiliate program on the net, and then sit back and wonder why they are not making any money. No way of making money online is going to be successful for you until you learn to drive traffic to your website.

Click to Read the rest of this article...

...I might appear a bit of a hypocrite here because I do have AdSense set up on my site, but I've only done that out of curiosity. I'm spending most of my efforts right now in learning how to develop traffic to my site and waiting to invest my time in understanding actual online revenue streams I start to really see a high number of visitors regularly visiting my site.

There are many ways of promoting your site, and you cannot be truly effective unless you utilize all of them. Some of these strategies are fairly simple and some incredibly complex. We'll start with the fairly simple and move to the more complex from there. Well, let's get started then!

A Quick Word on Keywords: At its most basic, Keywords are those terms which people use in search engines to find the websites that contain information they are looking for. Search engines use these terms as the basis for identifying sites which most closely match what the person is seeking. We, as internet marketers, try to develop our sites in a way that the search engines determine we fit that match. There is an entire science behind determining which Keywords are most effective in achieving high search rankings. It goes beyond simply knowing what terms a user will be searching on.

Later we'll analyze the science behind finding just the right Keywords to encourage high relevancy rankings. And likely you will need to review your site and tweak its content based on this new understanding. But don't worry too much about that for now. When I encourage you to keep keywords in mind in the following discussion of Meta tags, just do your best to think of the terms that logically seem to be important keywords for your target readership. I think a discussion of Keyword selection will make more sense later on if we have a solid understanding of the structure in which they need to be used. That is why I'm starting with their application and not with the science of their selection.

So, let's get started with one of the easiest ways you can modify your site or blog to make it search engine-friendly.

META TAGS: The term "Meta" is derived from the word "Metadata" which means data which describes in summary form a larger collection of data. There are two types of Meta tags: user defined variables and system variables. System variable meta tags are also called "HTTP-EQUIV" tags, because they issue browser level commands such as when to refresh a page, but are rarely used today, as most of their functionality has been replaced by javascript. We will be looking at three user variable Meta tags which, although not as important as they once were, still retain some value to the internet marketer.

The proper syntax for these tags is <META name="[tag name]" content="[values]">, and are found in the header of an HTML page between the <head> and </head> tags.

Of the dozen or more Meta tags built into standard HTML, only three really have any value for web designers in regard to search engines or end users. These are the Title, Description, and Keywords Meta tags. If you open up your website's HTML source code, or click on the Template tab in your blog, you'll see them as something like this:

<title>A short, to the point, description of your site</title>

<meta name="description" content="A short descriptive phrase about your site along with a strong call to action."/>

<meta name="Keywords" content="Should include the key search words and phrases that relate to your site's content"/>

In the early days of the internet, search engines relied heavily on the values in these tags to help them index and classify web pages. But internet marketers soon learned how to manipulate the data in these tags to achieve unfair search rankings, or falsely represent the content of their sites. In consequence, most search engines today pay little or no attention to these tags, and rely instead on the actual content of a website to determine relevancy for search engine rankings.

So, if these tags have little importance to modern search engines, why am I discussing them as related to promoting your site? Well, these tags are still used in limited fashion by many search engines and can help you in subtle ways, and have other uses which make them worth setting up properly.

For example, Meta tags played a significant part in the logic of the Inktomi search technology, which is what Yahoo!'s search technology is based on, and the search engine Teoma (now known as ExpertRank) used by Ask.com. And while Meta tags may have little impact with other major search engines, many of the less popular and sophisticated search engines still rely on them, meaning that there will be times where effective use of these tags can give you an advantage over another site which has ignored them.

These Meta tags have other subtle effects, as well, which I'll explain in more detail as we look at each individual tags below.

TITLE META TAG: The Title Meta tag has several important uses that you should be aware of. This tag determines what is displayed in a browser's title bar for the active page, and is used as the default name for a page when it is bookmarked. But most importantly, search engines often use the information in this tag as the hyperlink text displayed on their results page.

For this reason, you should make sure that your Title tag accurately represents your site's content. Try to use the most descriptive words in the first 20 or so characters as the rest is usually cut-off when a search engine displays it. And of course, use relevant Keywords as much as possible, because even though most search engines don't give much importance to these tags today, often the values contained in them are still scanned as a part of your site's content as a whole. So including Keywords in your Title tag can add to your site's overall Keyword density.

DESCRIPTION META TAG: The Description Meta tag has a similar application to the Title Meta tag in that many search engines pull from it for their search results, displaying it as the description under a site's hyperlink on results pages. This application is not universal, as Google frequently creates its own description dynamically from the content of your site. Yahoo! utilizes it more frequently, but not in all cases. However, it is better to have it than not, because it at least gives you some small control over how your site is described. And if you leave it empty, some search engines will use the first few words to appear on your site for this description instead, and often that doesn't result in a very good indication of your site's content.

As with the Title tag, use Keywords when creating your Description Meta tag, as some search engines still include its content as a part of the overall evaluation of your site. Also, because this tag is often used as the default description for your site, take your time in what it should contain. Try to write a description which is going to encourage users to click on your link. Include enough so it is clear what your site is about, and include a "call to action" to encourage someone to click on your link. Think of it as your first opportunity to "sell your site". Do not expect a search engine to use more than the first 150 characters though, so be sure to include the important information and your call to action at the very beginning of your description, where it is most likely to be displayed in the search results.

KEYWORDS META TAG: Ah, now we come to the tag that everyone seems obsessed with: the Keywords Meta tag. This is where, in the past, search engines would look to classify and index your site. But today it is used little in search engine algorithms.

However, the Keywords Meta tag hasn't completely lost its usefulness. Some search engines still consider the data in this tag when evaluating a web page, although it is difficult to determine how much weight they give it. However, even Yahoo advises the use of the Keywords Meta tag:

"Use a 'keyword' meta-tag to list key words for the document. Use a distinct list of keywords that relate to the specific page on your site instead of using one broad set of keywords for every page." -- Yahoo!

And there's other uses for this tag that you should consider. Internal site searches (where the search only looks through the current domain) often use these tags to find individual pages within a website, although this isn't such a concern for bloggers since separate posts don't possess their own Meta tags. In some cases, a search engine that wouldn't use this tag normally, might fall back on it if the page it is evaluating doesn't have enough content to classify. Also, the Keywords Meta tag can sometimes be helpful in getting your page located if a search term is misspelled by the user. So it can be a good idea to include common misspellings or unusual variations of your critical search terms in your Keywords tag. In other cases, it can be useful to list keywords in the Meta tags of individual pages if there are terms that relate to your site as a whole but are not actually used on the current page. For example, if you have a site dedicated to dogs, and one page is dedicated to proper canine diet, but you want people searching for "dog hygiene" to find it as well, you could include "dog hygiene" as part of your Keywords Meta tag.

There is one final way this Meta tag can be useful. As you develop the content for your site, it goes without saying that you should keep critical keywords in mind. Maintaining high keyword density within your content is arguably the most effective way to increase your rankings with search engines. Therefore, I would recommend that before you attempt to create the content for your site, you identify those keywords which are most essential to your topic. Then list those terms in the Keywords Meta tag. This Meta tag then is a constant reminder of which terms you should try to use as you create your content.

In conclusion, let me leave you with a few tips for using the Keywords Meta tag:

• Keep your number of Keywords to under 1,000 characters
• Do not repeat any particular keyword more than 3 times
• Include misspellings or variations of keywords that relate to your site as a whole but might not be mentioned on that page
• Refer back to the keywords you have chosen as you build the content for your web page

So, there you have it. Don't rely on your Meta tags to ensure your place in search engine rankings, but don't neglect them either. It doesn't take much to develop them properly, and they can give you an edge over competing website that have ignored them. And as a last warning, if you find yourself tempted to milk the usefulness of these Meta tags by keyword repetition or including terms that don't relate to your site content -- DON'T. Even search engines that pay little attention to the content of these tags often have logic which will "punish" sites they suspect of abusing them.

Add a Favicon to Your Site and Make it Stand Out from the Rest!

I'll continue with the next in the Promote your Blog! Promote your Site! series in my next post, but for this short entry on MyWebMistakes let's take a break from all that serious internet marketing stuff and have a bit of fun! Come now, if you read through all that heavy technical stuff I wrote in my last post, you deserve it! (And if you haven't yet, make sure you check it out before you leave...you can find it here: Promote your Blog! Promote your Site! Part I -- in fact, even if you've already looked it over, check it out again, as there were a number of broken links that I've since fixed, and I've re-written some sections I felt were unclear and added quite a bit of new information.)

Now, look up at your address bar for a second. See that nifty little stick figure to the right of my blog's URL? Hey, don't laugh -- that's the logo I designed for my coffee shop (and don't even dare suggest my poor drawing skills might have contributed to the fact that I'm now facing total coffee melt down! -- that would be really mean).

Anyway, that's what they call a "Favicon" and you've probably noticed how all the really cool websites (mine included of course!) have one.

Ever wonder how the heck they did it? And how you can get your own and join the ranks of the "cool websites"?

-The Easy Way -

Well, I'm about to let you in on the secret: The easiest way to get yourself one of these little doohickeys is by visiting a website which will do most of the work for you. The one I used originally was MyFavatar. Just register and choose which image you want to have as your Favicon and it will: save the image to its own remote server, resize and convert it to the correct format, and even generate the HTML code for you. Then just paste the code it provides into your blog's template between the <> and < /head> tags.

- The Hard Way -

Well, it's really not that hard, actually. But if you'd like to do this yourself without uploading your image to another website it's really quite simple. Pick the image that you would like to use, or create a new one, and scale the image down to 16x16 pixels. (Most graphics programs will have a "Scale" feature.) For universal compatibility, save the image as a .ico file (although .gif, .jpg, or .png files will work with most browsers except for certain versions of IE). Then create a new post in your blog, name it "Favicon Upload" or something, and click the "Upload Image" button on the toolbar of the Post Editor. From the popup window, click "Browse" to locate your image and then click the "Upload Image button".

When your image is finished loading, save your post as a draft. Then open it again in the Post Editor. Your image should show up in the Compose view, or as HTML code in the "Edit HTML" view. Now right-click the image in the "Compose" view and select Copy Link Location; or, in the "Edit HTML" view, copy the URL that appears after the "href=" tag. This is the location of the image that you will need when adding the Favicon HTML code to your template. Paste the URL you just copied into notepad or someplace so you'll be able to retrieve it later.

Finally, click on your blog's Template tab to display your blog's HTML code. Copy the code you see in the box below and paste it into your Template's HTML code between the <> and < /head> tags. Then replace the "Favicon URL" with the link that you copied from your uploaded image.

< rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="Favicon URL">

And there you go! Get ready to be the envy of all your fellow blogger buddies!

All right, that's enough fun for now. I've got to get back to all that dry, techno-babble that will hopefully actually earn us some money one of these days.

So, enjoy your ego-boost for now, and look for the next part of Promote your Blog! Promote your Site! to be published soon.

What It Takes: Blogs You Should Visit

Alright! It's time to get into the meat of this whole Making Money Online thingy. This is what i've been doing:

Research:
There is just so much information available on the internet on ways to make money online. And most of this information is absolutely free. From blogs and forums, to websites, newsletters and free ebooks, there is likely more information than you could absorb in a lifetime. In my last post I was fairly critical about paying money for information ebook products about how to make money online, and looking back on it I think maybe I was a little too absolute in my judgement. But before you go and spend too much money on the thousands of available ebooks out there, I think you would be wise to take advantage of all the free information available first. So here are a few places to start your journey off on the right foot:

Blogs:
I have done a lot of searching through other blogs either here on Blogger.com or on some of the other blogging sites like MSN Spaces, TypePad, WordPress, or stand alone blogs (blogs with their own domains). Unfortunately, I've found that most of these blogs are either simple advertising platforms for various affiliate programs with no real valuable information, or simply had very little of substance to convey. I can't tell you how many pages I read and then sat back wondering what, exactly, it was I learned from it.

However, there are a few blogs which do have some extremely valuable and useful information, from finding a good blog topic, to -- yes -- making money from your blog. Here are just a few of the ones I've found:

• ProBlogger - One of the most impressive independant blogging sites I've come across. Contains tons of information, from picking the right blogging service, to using AdSense on your blogs, to great tips on promoting your blogs. If you want to see an example of someone who has created a blog which is successful commercially, has great content, and a very pleasing interface, definitely check out ProBlogger.


• Blogger-Tricks - This is a great little blog hosted right here on Blogger.com. The author has a lot of posts on helpful topics of all kinds, including template formating, advertising your blog, adjusting settings on Blogger.com and a lot more. Definitely take a look at this great blog!

(If you know of a blog which would be a great resource for anyone trying to make money online, please leave a link to it in the comments below. I'll take a look at it, and if I agree, I'll add it to this post!)

Stay tuned for my next post on the best free resources for making money online!

Don't Pay for Any More Information on Making Money Online!

Sorry it's taken me a couple of days to write again. I've spent the last three days just reading, reading, READING! It seems the deeper I get into this whole "making money online" thing, the more there is to learn -- Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Directory Submission, Keyword Analysis, AdSense, AdWords, Pinging, AutoResponders, Backend Marketing, Article Marketing, Niche Marketing, Viral Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Reciprical Linking and Link Exchanges, PreSelling, Website Analytics and Statistics, Feeders, RSS vs. Atom... need I go on?

It's getting late tonight, so I'm not going to have time to let you in on everything I've absorbed over the last few days, but there is one thing I want to share with everyone before I hit the hay: all this information I've been reading through, everything I've learned -- I didn't spend a dime!

I'm not going to make myself very popular with the web gurus out there, but take it from me, DO NOT PAY FOR ANY MORE INFORMATION ON MAKING MONEY ONLINE! At least not at in the beginning. In fact, I suspect that you will never need to buy another e-book on making money online. For the last three days I have done nothing except research ways to make money online -- and I'm talking 12-14 hours a day with barely a break for lunch -- and I have only barely started to read through all the FREE information available on this subject.

Where do you find all these wonderful resources? Take your pick: blogs, independant websites, give-away ebooks, forums...

I admit I have bought a couple of those infamous "make $10,000 a month" ebooks. When I first started investigating this whole online money-making thing, I went right out and spent hours reading through sales letter after sales letter trying to decide how to spend my hard earned dollars in order to learn the secrets of internet millions. I purchased Holly Mann's Honest Riches (or "Thank You Rich Jerk") ebook, and the Straightshooter's Real Deal.

Now, don't get me wrong. These books are not bad. In fact they have some good and very useful information in them. Especially for a novice in the area of making money online. In fact, if you've got the cash to spare, and you'd like a good overview of this internet marketing business, they aren't a bad read. But don't expect to read them and then hop on the web and start making a million dollars.

I don't encourage you to buy these ebooks for several reasons. The first of course, is just that you shouldn't pay for what you can get for free with a little hard work and diligence (and by reading this blog! :-). But no matter how many pages these books are, there is just no way they can go into enough detail on any one subject to give you enough information to make you successful. You might have more luck with those ebooks specifically dedicated to a single subject, like the ones just covering Google AdWords or Affiliate Marketing or Keyword Analysis. I'll let you know if I ever end up purchasing one of them.

The other problem I have with these ebooks is that they tend to describe just one person's view of making money online. And they give you the false impression that there is only one way -- and a limited way at that -- of approaching web business. But the business of making money online is so extensive, with so many different possibilities and avenues to pursue, that you short-change yourself by locking yourself into one individual's opinion.

That is why I think that you are much better off picking up information from the many different free sources available on the web.

In my next post I'll give you some hints on how to find these sources, and how to seperate the fluff from the real, hard-hitting info that will really put you on the path to making a living on the information super highway!

You're assignment for next time: Don't buy anything till you read my next post!

Wishing you all a healthy good night. Until next time...

P.S. And keep an eye on this blog for my future post listing the best free resources on the internet for making money online!

So, Who the Hell Am I?

This is the post were I tell you a little bit about who I am and why the hell I've created this blog. I can just feel your excitement pulsing through my internet connection!

I suppose I could give you the long version (and believe me, it is a looonngg version), but i'll spare you that. Here's the short version: for about five years I served as the Vice President of Technology for a major mortgage company here in Southern California, and one of the top mortgage companies in the U.S. About two years ago i got tired of the long hours, endless stress, and constant demands of the job, so I took the equity I had saveed in my house, and the savings I'd acquired via stock options and other company benefits, and moved to a beautiful part of the California mountains. I invested my money in the purchase of a coffee shop and was certain that this was my dream come true... living in the beautiful mountains, owning a small business with plenty of time to pursue my other hobbies: writing fiction, computer technology and finally starting a family. But I was due for a rude awakening. The business did terribly. Snow (which is the life-blood of any busines in the mountains) came so late as to mean an almost non-existent ski season. Rains washed away part of the road up the mountain, meaning an even more deadly end to the tourist season. it was the worst season for business anyone had seen for years. i've put in more that $200,000 in just trying to keep my business afloat. now, i'm on the verge of banruptcy, having lost aeverything that i'd buildt in this dream that never bore the fruit i had hoped or expected it would. yes, probably much of it was my faut -- i wasn't cut out to own a store-front business. i don't enjoy all the headaches of dealing with customers on a daily basis, employees, and being tied to certain hours (this means getting up at 5 a.m. to make coffee and muffins every morning), and trying to constantly coming up with new ways to drum up business, dealing with the seasonl fluctuations of business... and so much more!

i've thrown away more than a $100,000 dollars to find this out, and on some days I definitely wonder if i haven't just been a stupid idiot. but i have learned a few things. 1) i want to own my own business; 2) i don't want someone telling me what hours i have to work or what i have to do; 3) i definitely don't want a business that involves a physical storefront... with the overhead, employees, and headach that that entails.

and that is what my >$100,000 has taught me. argue with me if you will whether it was a fair trade or not.

but at least i know that I 1) want to continue to live in the beautiful mountains, out of the concrete, and suburban scrawl, and 2) i want to be my own boss.

That is what led me to investigate the possibilities of earning money online. for the last month, i have been spending every waking moment reading, researching and attempting every possible avenue for making money online.

and i have decided on two things: 1) it IS possible to earn a living online, and 2) it is freaking hard to seperate the crap from the real opportunities.

so that is what this blog is about. once i put my mind to it, i rarely fail to succeed. and i'm not going to start now. i've decided to find a way to make money online, and that's what i'm going to do. so this is the diary of how i'm going to do it. if you choose to follow along with me, i'm sure you'll enjoy watching me make plenty of mistakes, but i also hope from reading this blog that you will avoid some of these some mistakes yourself. and hopefully, those who follow this blog will benefit from my mistakes, but also benefits from my successes as well (and hopefully there will be more of the latter than the former!)

and mabe there's a little part of me that hopes that those who read this blog will help me as well. I'm as lost as anyone when first embarking on the mysterious journey of building a business online. and i promise that any help that i receive that builds toward my success, i will pass on to the readers of this blog, so we all can success together.

so that is the answer to the question: "who the hell am i?" and maybe a little of the question of: "why the hell did I start this blog in the first place!"

I look forward to finding success with all of you in the future!

sincerely,

The Beginning of My Experiment in Making Money Online...

Well, this is the beginning of my experiment in finding a way to make a living online. This account is more for myself than anyone else, but I do hope that the struggles I go through will help a few people avoid the mistakes that I will inevitably make along the way.

This is the first blog that I have created, so although some of my meandering thoughts will be concerned with learning how this whole blog thing works, the primary purpose of this blog is to track the research I am doing on how to make a real, job-replacing, income online.

Some of the things I hope to share here are: the best "free" online resources (this can be websites, ebooks, software, or offline sources) for educating myself on the topic of making money online. I have been reading, researching, and in some case, buying, information on this subject for the last month, and one of the things which I've discovered is that there is a lot of information available which won't cost you a penny. And some of it is quite a bit more valuable than many of the ebooks and assorted info products that people are offering for sale.

Now, I have no problem with anyone selling valuable information on the web -- I hope to have something worth selling one day myself -- but I am, as probably most of you are, of limited finances. So anything free is definitely going to the top of my list. So one of the priorities of this blog will be to discover those resources that will help to put money into your pocket, not take it out.

I'll also share the things that I learn regarding different approaches to making money online -- such as affiliate programs, having your own website, drop-shipping, developing your own e-product, ebay... and anything else I come across or can think of.

I have to state right here... I really haven't tried any of these things yet. I'm a total newbie. Other than the reading I've done over the past few weeks, I'm starting at the beginning. so I'm inviting you to come along for the ride. I think it'll be an interesting one.

Step on in, strap in, and hold on!

Sincerely,

eonxl
