What is alexa rank? Alexa is one of the most recognize rank in online business. You can have your alexa rank by checking it on alexa.com. Or you can download their toolbar and install it on your browser to check your rank. The lower the rank you get, the better your status.

So how to get high rankings? In order to get a high rank we had to know how alexa rank into account. In general, they explained that their ranking is determined by looking at the ratio between the number of visitors, the length of visitor on our site and the number of page views that we have. There are a number of ways we have to do after knowing this calculation.

1. Bring visitors as much as possible.
This one is obvious, because we can’t have a high rank if we lack the number of visitors. Although we’ve done a lot of things but if none of those visitors came all of our effort will be useless. How do we got a lot of visitor? Well, get through social bookmarking, SEO, and the most easily through comment on others blog. This first point should be discussed separately on other post.

2. Do not display the full post on the front page.
Because now Alexa, calculates combinations of visitor and page view, so we have to ‘force’ visitor to open the pages of our blog trough read more facilities. Surely if we only put the first paragraph of our posts on the front page (assumed the title and first paragraph was interesting), curious visitors automatically will open the next page through the read more. Up here we’ve got two page views (home and single page view recent posts) from a visitor.

3. Show recent post in the sidebar.
This step is the opposite from the second step. This is dedicated for the visitors that coming from search engines like google. They usually stopped at our blog via single page post. So to entice them to open another page, w provide the latest post widgets in our sidebar. Usually people will be interested to see our latest posts, if he entered the first time through a single post.

4. Make a list of most popular posts in the sidebar.
This step is also powerful, because usually visitors (including me) wondered if there is list most popular posts in someone blog. can do this by adding a plugin in your wordpress.

5. Put Recent comment widget on the side bar.
Usually other people comments also sparked the curiosity of visitors to see our postings. For that we need to change (hardcoded or use plugins), if a poster commented link on the sidebar is clicked we change url direct to our comments on the blog rather than directly to the address of the commentator.

6. Create Related post.
Again using the plugin we can make a list of related posts at the bottom of each of our post. Usually visitors attracted to visit our other postings if we give our list of postings that are related to the one that they are read.

Well, thats just a view step that we can do to get a high alexa rank. We’ll discuss on the dirty trick step to do it on the next post.

New search engine called Bing’s owned by microsoft expanded beyond google predictions. Only in a matter of months its market share has reached 11%. This is a big achievement, compare to Microsoft search engine (MSN) that had been previously controlled only gain 9% of the market share. This concern was also triggered by their market share decreasing in last three month.

Why Bing can quickly accepted in the market? On of the main reason is because Bing is not only offering a search results, but also offers content solution. So the searcher is not only dependent on search engine algorithms but they can determine how the search results they want.

To compete Bing new features, Google also added a new feature on their search engine. One of the new important breakthrough that google do is to add a new feature that allow a searcher to limit the search results based on time. This future will have a huge affect in SEO strategy.

If we used to had enough to optimize one page and can survive for a long time. Now everything has changed. For example, although we can be on a first page for a top keywords, but if the searchers limit their search only for new date results, while on the other hand we’ve been indexed out side of that date range we will definitely missing from the first page.

That’s why we must always updated our site to match the latest feature on Google’s. Certainly SEO competition will also change. May we can win a year range for a certain keyword. But if searchers limit their search results within a month range, are we still in the first page? This would be a big question!

If you use google adsense from the old days than you must be realized that the income from these ads is decreasing from time to time. Whether the pay per click amount or the number of our visitor who click the ads.

In my experience, I have a blog that used to be have a great performance in google adsense. But after three years running my income from this blog is getting lower from day to day. And on the last month it’s only give me a dollar a month.

The truth is I did not really take care of these blogs. The main reason is because this blog url is gardino.info. Because everyone knows that the URL name ends with .info is less preferred search engine. I’ve tried to sell that blog, but nobody wants to buy it. Than again I think its because that .info stuff.

Even so I still extend that blog automatically each year. Therefore, the blogs are still alive though I did not take care of it. So, that’s why I tried to optimize it again recently.

Previous topic of this blog was a dating and marriage tips. With google adsense on the sidebar of the theme. Back in the old days, this way of google ads placement is enough to make money from it. But not now! So I change the theme of these blogs but still put google adsense on the side. To bad that the result has less effect on these blogs income, with these kind of ads placement.

So, I decided to change the total appearance blog. I even choose a different niche topic for it. This time the focus is on the front page. I put the tools there are ‘decorated’ google adsense. How did it go with this change?

With the low number of visitors, this blog performance was pretty good. The click trough rate value increases. In consequence this blog can generate at least about $ 2 – $ 3 per day. Not bad for the domain .info with a low traffic.

Whats conclusions? Google Adsense that once regarded as the easiest way to get money from the internet was not the same anymore. Internet user are beginning to realize the existence of these advertisements.

Therefore it was no longer ‘simply put google adsense ads in the sidebar with a simple display and hoping for a lot of clicks’ stuff. We have to be smart to mix the themes with ‘unusual look’ if we want to continue to make money from this kind of advertising. Forget the vertical format with more than two display of ads. You are no longer possible to make money that way.

Its only 7 days left to the end of the kontes seo aristia wida rukmi. The competition getting high. And I dont know why my blog is thrown out again from the top five.

Well, the truth is I dont really like using my monetize blog for a competion like this. I dont like my blog reveal in public. And I dont really like to thrown a comment with the keyword aristia wida rukmi on every blog that I met.

So it just left me with a less option. Playing a litle dirty! Yup, I take a risk for this SEO contest. using a dirty trick and hope it will bring this page back. But on the other hand if this trick fail, my blog will completly dissapear from the SERP. so once again lets cross our finger for this kontes seo aristia wida rukmi!

After a while my blog are deluted from the SERP for kontes seo aristia wida rukmi. I’ve done several step to make it back on track. One of them is through this posting. I hope it will fix the position.

The other competitor that compete for aristia are also switch position one another. Except for the that on top of the list. Looks stronger and stronger every day.

I don’t attend to put my blog in the first position since the competition for wida rukmi is for the top five list. So I just plan to get in on the top five. right now its on six place, to bad. since I’ve been in number 2 position. Lets cross our finger and wish the magic will come.

Why I decided to join kontes SEO aristia wida rukmi? Is it because the price? No of course not. Compare to other SEO contest, the price of this contest is so small. So what makes me join the competition?

I choose this aristia wida rukmi contest for my experiment. Because the price is not that big, that’s why I think all off the master in this SEO field won’t join the contest. And after all this is just a local contest. So without the master I can see the effect on how I was doing in the result page without losing the competitive situation.

And after I join than suddenly I found out something that I have not known before. May be this is not new for you but it is new for me. One day I want to check the result the contest uses local search engine (google.co.id). I put the term kontes SEO aristia wida rukmi click search than I found my blog on the winning zone. They search top five list for this contest. As you can see in the picture below.

Than whitin an hour I come back check for my position. Than I realized something different. This blog pop up in the top five list instead of my first blog appear in the first page.

I wonder what is the different between the first and the second trial. Because it shows different result. I used the same SE (google.co.id). Used the same kontes SEO aristia wida rukmi. But why the result looks different?

Here is what makes it different! I realized I used a different Interface Language. On the first attempt I used bahasa Indonesia and on the second one I used English. Why my suamimalas blog appear on the first attempt? Because that blog is written in bahasa. And other hand this blog is written mostly in English.

What is the conclusion? Is just not about what SE that your potential visitor use (dot com or by country). But your visitor interface language setting also effect the result. Make So sure your SEO setting match with your target visitor interface language setting.

Kemarin saya sudah mengumumkan keikutserataan saya di kontes seo aristia wida rukmi. Semula saya mengira kontes ini bisa berlangsung dengan mudah. Ada beberapa alasan yang melatarbelakangi pemikiran itu.

Pertama, hadiahnya tidak sebesar beberapa kontes seo sebelumnya. Yup, karena hadiahnya tidak sebesar yang dulu-dulu jadi saya berpikir peminatnya tidak banyak. Ternyata saya salah. kontes seo aristia wida rukmi ini rupanya menarik cukup banyak peminat.

Kedua, begitu saya posting di blog suamimalas saya posisinya langsung masuk halaman satu. Jelas ini merupakan start yang bagus. Karena belum dioptimasi saja postingan tentang si aristia itu sudah nangkring di halaman satu. Namun sayangnya kondisi ini tidak bertahan lama. Karena hanya berselang sekian hari posisinya langsung melorot bahkan sempat berada di halaman lima.

Toh, perjalanan kontes seo aristia wida rukmi ini masih panjang. Masih ada kemungkinan untuk merangkak naik kembali. Semoga aja bisa.

Right now I mange over 20 blog with almost 100 supportive dummy blogs. Can you imagine how I write a new fresh blog post for each of those blog? Did I really write a fresh blog post for those blog? Well, the answer to that  question is no.

Is that mean I copied the article from the net? Isn’t will harm my PR and position in search engine since google hate duplicate content? Okay, for the record I do copied the article from the internet, but I do not make a duplicate content.

I aleady post about free automatic content generator software. But this one is different. If you notice I write it on the dirty tick category. So is not completely legal. Well I don’t care any way.

You guys must be already familiar with archive.org. This website is collect all of content from website from new one to the old one. Here is you might want to know! They still keep the old archive from a dead website.

Dead? Yes, dead, RIP, gone, and the best thing is google already forget about those dead website. Google already wipe out the article from their index. An article but google didn’t index it. Whoooalla, you just got your self a free article directories.

But a little tips from me. First, Try to double check the article (do it randomly) with copyscape. Because other people may be already use that old article. Second, search for a feature article that more timeless rather than a hard news article that ussally tied by a time frame. That’s it happy hunting!
