ADD COMBINED LIKE AND SEND FACEBOOK BUTTON

The Like button of Facebook lets a user share your content with friends on Facebook. When the user clicks the Like button on your site, a story appears in the user's friends' News Feed with a link back to your post. The Send Button allows users to easily send content to their friends. People will have the option to send your URL in a message to their Facebook friends, to the group wall of one of their Facebook groups, and as an email to any email address.

CHANGE GOOGLE CRAWL RATE OF YOUR BLOG

Here is a golden chance for you to invite Google bots to crawl your site to get loaded in search engines. Google has sophisticated the search algorithms that determine how much to crawl each site and now, to crawl as many pages from your site as a bot can on each visit without overwhelming server's bandwidth. This will help to get indexed if you are updating your blog more frequently. Blogger users have default value and others may change it accordingly.

Crawl rate refers to the speed of Googlebot's requests during the crawl process. Remember that, the new crawl rate will be valid for 90 days.

Webmaster Tools - Settings

 

How to change the crawl rate:

  1. On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
  2. Under Site configuration, click Settings.
  3. In the Crawl rate section, select the option you want.

Please note that, Google's crawl process begins with a list of web page URLs, generated from previous crawl processes, and augmented with Sitemap data provided by webmasters. As Google bot visits each of these websites it detects links on each page and adds them to its list of pages to crawl. New sites, changes to existing sites, and dead links are noted and used to update the Google index.

As Google, say in the Webmaster Tools, “You can change the crawl rate (the time used by Googlebot to crawl the site) for sites that are at the root level—for example, www.example.com andhttp://subdomain.example.com. You can't change the crawl rate for sites that are not at the root level—for example,www.example.com/folder.”

EFFECTIVE SEO THROUGH GOOD CODE STRUCTURE

For a successful Search Engine Optimization strategy, take into consideration that search engines look at content and also at the structure of the markup. They emphasize the importance of text content, page titles, keywords rich text, meta descriptions and information architecture. A website where quality of content and code prevails will rank higher in the major search engines.There are many Search Engine Optimization tactics, but try to find the best combination and don't sacrifice the usability and performance of your website. Here is some basic information about improving your source code from an SEO perspective:

SEO

Avoid classical 404 error pages
The 404 - File Not Found - page is presented to the user by the server as an error page. The user gets this message directly from the server of the website he is trying to visit. This error page is supposed to appear only when the server cannot find the requested location and is unsure of its status.

In the vast majority of cases, the 404 error emerges for pages that were moved or even deleted or the layout of the site or page information changed.

Many hosting companies offer a 404 redirect page. This means that when a user enters the URL of any page of your domain, and that page does not exist or can no longer be found, you can automatically redirect the user to a specified page - usually your home page or your sitemap.

Pay special attention when you decide to delete certain pages. Remember to redirect them to a main page of your site using the 301 (Moved Permanently) HTTP response code.

You can greatly improve the user friendliness of your website by creating a custom 404 page:

  • Present a message of apology for the inconvenience;
  • Try to ease the user's way back to your site. Introduce error messages and include evident links to the home page, sitemap, and contact page;
  • Offer assistance and encourage the user to continue to search for the information he needs on your site. You could even include a search box right on the error page;
  • Keep the same design for the error page as for the rest of the website.

See: www.avangate.com/4040404404.

But remember that the best strategy for a 404 error page is to prevent it from coming up altogether, as many customers might be left with the impression that the whole website does not exist and not just the specific page they were trying to access.

Keep away from orphan pages
An orphan page is a page that is not linked to another one an thus cannot be found by spiders. To avoid having orphan pages on your website, check regularly that all your pages are linked to each other.

Search engines consider sites with orphan pages to be unprofessional, and not worthy of getting a high rank. This kind of website is under construction or is the result of a poor design process. If your pages aren't linked properly search engines won't index them and will consider them irrelevant for the search.

Pay attention to the fact that some search engines don't index correctly websites that use HTML frames. When spiders crawl through your internal pages, they index each individual page and display them as orphan pages in search results. Most frame designs include a content frame and a navigation frame.

Visitors require both frames to navigate through the site. Create a JavaScript to check if the page is loading correctly, and load the frameset. In this way, users won't be able to open pages outside the frame. This is a very easy way of losing clients.

Use 301 redirect pages
To avoid displaying a 404 error page, set up a 301 redirect page. The code 301 means "moved permanently" and it's the easiest way to preserve your search engine rankings for that page.

There are two ways of generating proper 301 redirect pages. If your site is hosted on a Linux or Unix server create a .htaccess file to add the redirect to your server's web root.

The .htaccess file contains specific instructions for certain requests, including security, redirection issues and how to handle certain errors. If it is hosted on a Windows or IIS server then the 301 redirect can be set up in the Administrator's section of the server software or through the DNS (Domain Name Server) zone.

Make a habit of reviewing the log files which contain data sent by your server. Search engine spiders often make critical decisions based on what your server tells them through the server's headers.

Pay attention, an improper 301 redirect can cause you big problems, since your website might fail and users won't be able to visit your pages. Setting up a correct "301 redirect" assures that you'll stay high in search rankings.

Create a sitemap
A sitemap is a web page that lists all the pages on your website. They are intended both for users - to find easier the information they need , and for search engines to index pages.

Your sitemap link should be right on your home page. In this way spiders are sent directly to the place where all your content information is gathered. Sitemaps can improve SEO, however, be advised that they only take into consideration a limited number of links to those pages.

To make sure that spiders check your whole site and have more chances to get indexed, it would be a good idea to use a sitemap generator. You can use ROR sitemaps that are readable by all search engines.

ROR is a sitemap tool that uses XML feeds to describe your website. ROR sitemaps allow search engines to match text search with structured information, thus obtaining more relevance for your site. This kind of sitemap helps search engines to better understand your website content - products, services, images, articles, etc. By creating a file with product names, descriptions, prices, images, availability, affiliate programs, and any other relevant information customers can find you easier.

Don't overuse dynamic pages
Dynamic web pages include dynamic content - images, text, etc - which changes without the page being reloaded. Client-side languages like JavaScript and ActiveX are usually used to create these types of web pages.

Search engines don't rank well dynamic pages with many parameters. If you choose not to turn your dynamic URLs into static ones, at least put the most important parameters in your URLs first and try to limit dynamic parameters to no more than two.

Spiders can't read the text rendered as graphics. Any text that you want the spiders to read and index should be written out as text. At the very least, put any text that appears in graphics into the images' ALT attribute.

A slightly better alternative is to write your text in Flash, but remember to have a "Skip this intro..." link that takes visitors (and spiders) to the text-rich content of your site. Don't neglect this information if you want to optimize your search engine strategy.

Put .CSS and JavaScript into external files
For a search engine, improperly formatted code will have a negative impact on your rankings. Since search engines read only a certain amount of information on a web page, you should try to increase the text content to HTML tag ratio.

If you have too much HTML code, the text content won't be seen entirely. For reducing HTML code, utilize hand coding using external .css files and Javascript.

Make sure you have well formatted [X]HTMLTry to fix as many of the HTML errors as possible. Although the search engines don't rank better websites that have standard compliant code they tend to "read" them easier. Use the W3 HTML Validator to check the validity of your code.

For a successful Search Engine Optimization strategy, take into account all of the aspects presented here. It takes time, effort and patience to achieve a higher rank in the main search engines. The idea is to have a long term strategy that makes your website stay on top for an extended period of time.

REALITY BEHIND CHEAPEST AUTO INSURANCE COMPANIES

Can you just think about a time without insurance, especially auto insurance. When I drive my BMW, even though its safety profile is very high, I do worry about finding a best auto insurance. There are a lot of auto insurance companies to choose from out there, so how do we choose the right one? When we do the market surveys, we will land in a confused state to find which is the best one. Also, there are many individuals who give wrong advice and derail us. Be very careful to save money and same time get the correct insurance that suit our need and pocket.Before we start the ways to find the best , keep some points in your mind.

CHEAPEST AUTO INSURANCE COMPANIES To find the best one, we must compare the available prices by comparing the rate quotes of at least five companies in order to ensure a competitive rate.If a company is offering the coverage you need for a reasonable price, you can begin to look a bit further into other factors such as service, stability of a company, claims assistance, customer service etc

Finding the best company, that insures drivers with foreign licenses or identification cards for a specified length of time. Do you surprised to hear about auto insurance with no driver’s license. Individuals who are visiting or relocating to the United States will more than likely need to drive in order to get around and complete tasks. Those who are only visiting are allowed by most states to operate legally with foreign licensing, but they must be financially responsible for any bodily injury or property damage that they may cause while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Therefore, it may be in their best interest to obtain a no license insurance

The value of your assets may help you determine the amount of coverage you should carry. Having additional coverage could protect you and your assets in the event of a serious accident. If you do not have adequate coverage, the law allows the victim to take any assets that you may have in order to cover the costs of any damages. So if you get in an accident and only have minimum ins coverages, then you would be held legally responsible to pay for any damages that your insurance does not cover, including medical costs, costs to repair any property damage and legal costs for any court proceedings that may take place because of the accident.

Among the simplest way of completing an auto insurance quote comparison is to visit by completing one simple form, and  compare the rates of multiple carriers instantly and quickly instead of contacting companies individually by visiting the website that gives you cheapest  auto insurance companies.

The reality of finding the cheapest auto insurance company is that there really is no single company that's the cheapest one of them all, but there is a tool to help you compare rates from multiple auto insurance companies and make a choice based on the best rate for you particularly. I suggest this website, onlineautoinsurance.com as the best to find the cheapest based on the real need, and facts bubbling out of an automobile owner.
