Web-enabling the world of business

Below is a brief explination on how a blog can improve your ranking within search engines. Take it as you may….

Active / original blogs always receive backlinks from various sites, generally people link to the articles or blogs at the time of giving reference - You get a backlink because of posting good content.

Trade links with like-minded blogs. This plays important part as well, in simple terms you can say getting links from those with blogs that loosely cover the same topis you do. You get a backlink from users and your regular readers, just because the content is original and good.

Simple structure - Most of the blogs are CSS based and very easy for search engines to get through the content because there is not messy table structure, or javascript which crawler has to go through

The most important aspect of any blog is original content. Post it in a natural way and you can get lot of backlinks. The site can definitely rank well in search engines for various keywords. Just be natural and start posting! You will get backlinks from various sites from same theme and google just loves getting links from same like-minded sites.

If you are starting blog with the idea of getting top rank within search engines, then do not forget to read this or clear the basics.

A Google Sitemap is a simple XML document that lists all the pages in your Web site, but the Google Sitemaps program is actually much more important than that. In fact, the Sitemaps program provides a little peek inside Google’s mind - and it can tell you a lot about what Google thinks of your Web site!

Until Google Sitemaps was released in the summer of 2005, optimizing a site for Google was a guessing game at best. A Web site’s page might be deleted from the index, and the Webmaster had no idea why. Alternatively, a site’s content could be scanned, but because of the peculiarities of the algorithm, the only pages that would rank well might be the “About Us” page, or the company’s press releases.

As webmasters we were at the whim of Googlebot, the seemingly arbitrary algorithmic kingmaker that could make or break a website overnight through shifts in search engine positioning. There was no way to communicate with Google about a website - either to understand what was wrong with it, or to tell Google when something had been updated.

That all changed about a year ago when Google released Sitemaps, but the program really became useful in February of 2006 when Google updated it with a couple new tools.

So, what exactly is the Google Sitemaps program, and how can you use it to improve the position of your Web site? Well, there are essentially two reasons to use Google Sitemaps:

1. Sitemaps provide you with a way to tell Google valuable information about your Web site

2. You can use Sitemaps to learn what Google thinks about your Web site

Do we think that having a Google Sitemap is necessary - absolutely. Anything possible that can help boost exposure and traffic to a site is worth it. CGI Pro always includes a Google Sitemap with every site it creates.
