Search Engine Optimization With Textalyser

Textalyser is a text analyzer tool that can help you improve the keyword density of your blog post for the purpose of search engine optimization.

We know how important it is to apply Search Engine Optimization each of the blog post. The normal Search Engine Optimization guideline is to have one main keyword and many related keywords in a blog post. In addition to that, we have to include the main keyword into the title of the blog post, as well as stating the main keyword as least once in the opening paragraph and closing paragraph. To further enhance the effect and help Google to understand what we are trying to talk about, we should repeat the main keyword a few times within the body of the blog post, as well as using related keywords often enough.

Alright! I will copy and paste the above paragraph into Textalyser and let's see how Textalyser analyzes the above paragraph:

The analysis is long, but this interests me:

2 word phrases frequency :

Expression	Expression count	Frequency	Prominence
main keyword	4	3.6%	50
blog post	4	3.6%	54.5
the main	3	2.7%	42

related keywords	2	1.8%	37.8
engine optimization	2	1.8%	87.4

search engine	2	1.8%	88.3

3 word phrases frequency :

Expression	Expression count	Frequency	Prominence
the main keyword	3	2.7%	41.5
the blog post	3	2.7%	50
of the blog	3	2.7%	50.9
as well as	2	1.8%	28.2
post as well	2	1.8%	29.1
blog post as	2	1.8%	30
search engine optimization	2	1.8%	88.2

Looking at the table above alone gives us a hint on what the topic is talking about. It has good density of "search engine", "engine optimization", "search engine optimization", "main keyword", "related keyword"...

When Google's spider comes across this paragraph, it will know that I am talking about search engine optimization for blog. See how easy it is to search engine optimize your own blog post? It gets easier when you can see through the eyes of the spiders!

BuzzBadge to AdsBlackList.com

Low paying ads and junk MFA (made for adsense) sites have long bothered Adsense publishers. What are junk MFA sites? They are usually sites with little or no content, but with adsense ads sprinkled all across the page, hoping random visitor might click on one of the ads thinking they are links.

How do they get the visitor? CPC advertising. The owner usually advertise using Google Adwords, MSN ad center, AdBrite, to name a few. Since they are using adwords to advertise, it becomes our worry.

The Worry
They called this Adsense Arbitrage, in which they pay, say, $0.02 for a visitor, and then on the page, they put up content that will attract high paying ads, such as insurance and mortgage related ads, which can earn them $1-3 per click. So, a visitor arrives, they pay $0.02. When the visitor leave by clicking on ads, they earn $1-$3. The problem is with the $0.02 they pay and their ability to target keywords so well that their ads are shown on many blogs. Many adsense publishers see their revenue decreasing due to these low paying ads. Some even receive complaint from visitor demanding reason as to why they link out to site with no real content ( it is not a link, it is an ad, but it is sufficient to lose a visitor).

There are more than 8000 MFA sites out there, keeping them blocked is easy, keeping them updated is hard. Here comes the rescue: AdsBlackList.com.

There is a demo on the homepage, just put in URL and keywords of your blog and it will generate a list of low paying sites for you to add to your competitive ad filter. Sign up with them, you will get 200 of such sites, fine tuned for your main keywords. Yes, it is great. Many adsense publishers see their revenue increase immediately after adding MFA sites to the filter.

BuzzBadge to TickerMyFeed

You want your blog looks live? Use TickerMyFeed. It is a feed display service that automatically updates RSS feeds you put in and show them as a rolling ticker.

Free stuff usually comes with limitation, not with TickerMyFeed. It does not seem to have limitation and its advance option makes the service so customizable. You can add pre-selected RSS news feeds or feed related to a keyword. You are allowed to customize the box size, its background color, border, font and size, number of item to display...

Since it uses JavaScript, adding it is only possible on the template level, not on blogger post, unless you have control over the input filter.


Who should use it?

• If you are writing and commenting about news on your blog
  
• If you frequent some news site, why not add it so you can read the news on your blog?
• If you write about stock market, a ticker makes your site looks credible.
• If you have more than one blog, cross-feed each other's content
• If you run disaster charity, one of the pre-selected feeds is on hurricanes and storms

BuzzBadge goes to this wonderful free service, TickerMyFeed.

BuzzBadge to WriteAbout.Us

The legend continues, another spin-off of million dollar homepage claims that "More than just a spin-off of million dollar homepage, we are in fact, a hub of traffic. Our SEO, business model and marketing effort make Write About Us unique and robust."

It looks like just another link homepage we discussed earlier, however, further scrutinize of the site reveals that it is so much better than its counterpart.

The Business Model:
Instead of charging everyone who wants to have their link on the page, WriteAbout.Us gives out free link with a condition that you write about them in your blog or site. After writing about it, you can send them a note using the submission form. As you get free publicity, they get it too! This is brilliant!

The site looks new as of this posting, since there are only a few links, let us watch it closely. I write this post with the same purpose, to get BuzzBadge included on the front page. Who knows it really drives traffic to BuzzBadge and increase the readership.

Well, I think my link will stay there for quite some time. Once it gets popular, links will roll off the front page fast (especially the free links). From there, I learned that traffic is very valuable.

"If content is King, traffic is Queen."

True enough. BuzzBadge goes to WriteAbout.Us. Hope it gets popular soon (taking BuzzBadge along).

Buzzing LinkExperiment - The Next Million Dollar Idea

We have heard of Million Dollar Homepage, a page that made one million. After the phenomenon, sites copying the same idea make their appearances all over the Internet, with variations from pixel to links to tags.

Brandon Rowe, a 23-year-old amateur runner is having another million-dollar-in-the-making site. The idea is simple, the homepage will host 100 links, horizontally organized from highest bid to lowest bid. The 101th will be pushed off the homepage. To stay on the list, one must outbid other bidders. It is now documenting 429 link, with $400 as the highest bid as of this writing. Well, it all started with $0.01 per link! Now the minimum bid is $16.75, which gives you the last spot on the page.

What is going to happen?
The site will get more popular, more press attention and more links and traffic. The bid can only go higher and higher. This idea is so good as it is balanced. As the popularity increases, the bid increases too, the owner is able to monetize every marginal increase in the site's popularity and traffic. The revenue generated by the 100 links does not stop there, it rises. The owner is definitely making more than $16.75 a day now with new bidders outbidding old ones.

Total revenue generated as of now: $7,592.00
(it is fun to keep it tracked)

The Buzz goes it LinkExperiment and its robust business model.

Update: A better version is found here: WriteAbout.Us.

BuzzBadge to Blogathon

Charity starts at home. GoodSearch and GoodTree have been doing a great job. Today we will look at Blogathon, a yearly event that raises funds for the charity.

On July 29, hundreds of bloggers from around the world will put their endurance to the test for charity, blogging every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. This is the Sixth Annual International Blogathon, an event that creates a worldwide community for a day, serves up fascinating content, and most importantly, raises tens of thousands of dollars for dozens of charities. Bloggers choose the charity and collect sponsorships. At the end of the event, those sponsors fulfill their pledges directly with the charity.

Every year, bloggers will join Blogathon and choose a charity to blog for. In a non-stop 24 hours, they will write one blog post on their blog every30 minutes, totalling 48 blog posts. Their blog readers will decide whether they will support the blogger's good cause and pledge for donation. Donation can be a lump sum payment or hourly amount.

This is quite a big event in the sense that during Blogathon, there are live podcasts and radios specially dedicated to report on the event, simultaneously helping participating bloggers to stay awake. Their effort deserves salutation.

Directly taken from the website, next year's Blogathon will be on July 28, 2007. This year's Blogathon had a total pledges of 104,881.64. With new blogs being established every second, we can easily foresee this amount will only increase, which is good for the humanity as a whole.

BuzzBadge to BubbleShare

I have been looking for a photo host lately, trying to get one that has big storage, anonymous upload and album organizer. After trying photobucket, imageshack, zoto, flickr and BubbleShare, I finally decided to stay with BubbleShare.

The good about BubbleShare is you do not have to signup to create a photo album. What you need to do is upload the photos and check your email. The link to your photo album will be sent to your email. They host your photos for free! And number of albums you can create? Unlimited!

No, I did not upload anonymously, I signed up with them as I wanted to have access to a more robust set of tools and gain more control over the photos I have uploaded.

For your pleasure, here are some of the photos:

GoodSearch deserves BuzzBadge

First of all, thanks to my uncle, the author of aPleasant Surprise(s) and GoingGlobal for his suggestion on buzzing GoodSearch. This angel of all search engines is going pay to charity every time you search.

How does it work?

• On the GoodSearch homepage, choose from thousands of organizations or add your favorite cause to our list.
• Search the Internet just like you normally would — the site is powered by Yahoo!, so you'll get the same high-quality search results you're accustomed to.
• Fifty percent of the revenue generated from advertisers is shared with the charity, school or nonprofit organization of your choosing.

How much money could this generate for my charity or school?

We estimate that each search will generate approximately $0.01 for the designated charity or school. If you think about how many times you search the Internet each year, and then add in all the searches from the supporters of your organization, it quickly adds up! Here's an example of how much your organization can earn:

Charity or School Size	Number of Supporters	Average Searches Per Day	Estimated Revenue/Year
Small	100	2	$730
Medium	1,000	2	$7,300
Large	10,000	2	$73,000

The sky is the limit. The more people use GoodSearch, the more money will be directed towards causes. There is no cap on how much money we will direct to charities.

Founded by Ken Ramberg and JJ Ramberg, this search engine is dedicated to their mother, Connie Ramberg, who passed away from cancer.

Some of the success stories:

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - $1,230

Children's Tumor Foundation- $490

The Elephant Sanctuary - $1,750

Veterans of Foreign Wars - $670

Since you are going to search anyway, why not make your search worthwhile? GoodSearch gets the Buzz.

BuzzBadge to Lorelle on Wordpress

I was drawn to this blog when I was looking for information about splog. Splog? It is spam + blog. In other words, spam in the form of a blog. To understand spam better, login to your Yahoo! email and look at your inbox. Those emails from unfamiliar names are spams. While Yahoo! Mail is having problem with spam, which brought about a promise of better spam control in Yahoo! Mail Beta, Gmail, the uprising late comer, seems to do very well in terms of spam control. Gmail's famous user friendly Ajax functionality forces Yahoo! Mail into Beta, to come up with a better interface that is still disappointing.

Bloggers are battling with splogs as most of them do not have original content. There is no wrong not having original content, but it does not do any good when a splog republishes a blogger's work without giving any credit.

Lorelle on Wordpress looked into this issue and actually taught bloggers what to do when their content is being copied. It also publishes an extensive coverage on Bitacle attack (no links here, giving links will make Bitacle credible in the eyes of search engines) .

The blog is so good I stayed almost an hour reading every related article below each post. (I wonder when Blogger Beta will have this feature, it helps to navigate.) Then I fall on this piece of exhaustive tips: "Hundred of resources for finding content for your blog". Ha! No more writer's block! I know, if you read that, you are going to bookmark Lorelle's blog immediately.

Enjoy your navigation on Lorelle's blog. This is the Buzz today.

BuzzBadge to EssayGenerator

A power generator generates power, lately we have name generators that generate names (for user name, avatar name, pet name, not for a newborn's name.) , how about an EssayGenerator?

As the name suggests, it generates essays! How brilliant. Just type in any word or phrase and click generate and you have a brand new essay to read!

How do you generate essay?

While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind How do you generate essay, I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. Advancements in How do you generate essay can be linked to many areas.

It sounds like artificial intelligence is taking over the world. Well, not quite yet. After spending some time playing with different keywords, phrases and even questions in full ("How do you generate essay?"), you soon notice it is using some templates.

The templates come in randomly, and your input is replaced at the pre-defined locations, making every article sounds unique.

It is relatively easy to build this kind of generator. What you need is some homogeneous templates and knowledge in PHP. Make the input a variable and insert it appropriately. There you go.

Seriously, I played with it for about an hour, reading through every essay I generated just to make sure I did not miss any of the template. And of course, to satisfy my curiosity to know how each term can fit well into every template.

Today's BuzzBadge goes to EssayGenerator!

BuzzBadge to Diigo, the best research tool!

No, not Digg again, this time, it is Diigo.com. Diigo is about Social Annotation, it integrates Social Bookmarking, Web highlighting, note sticking and clip marking. What do all these mean?

The Scenario of a Blogger
If you are a blogger, you must be reading through many blogs and websites each day to gather points for your blog. Sometimes you stumble upon something you must bookmark. Sometimes the content you are reading gives you inspiration. Sometimes you want to recommend a page to your readers. Sometimes you just want to remember that page.

In this case, the functionality of the basic bookmark feature that comes with your browser is no longer enough. You need Diigo. When you sign up with Diigo, you are required to install a toolbar right in your browser to enjoy its functionality. Let's say you are on a page with so much information that you suddenly feel like writing, and you know, if you don't write them down immediately, the chemicals aren't going to stay for long.

You will click on Diigo, and a window will popup. You can write whatever you want into the window, label it so you can find it easily, and save it. Ok, some sentences on the page interest you, so you will highlight the sentence, click Diigo again, and make your remarks. You can choose to make them private or share them. If you share them, other people using Diigo will see your clip when they are on the same page.

I usually bookmark with a remark. After finishing my research, I will search for all the bookmarks by label and read through them again, especially the comments I have written. I will organize them and write them into my blog.

The benefit? It is a great research tool. You will never lose your bookmarks, cos they are online! You can access them from any computer. The problem with bookmark is when you have thousands of them, you have no bookmark. With Diigo, you are pretty sure to find the right page you have bookmarked, using the labels. Ah, Sometimes the clips on a page by other Diigo users are simply brilliant.

Its functionality spans from being a simple bookmarking tool to an information organizer to an advanced research tool. You decide how useful it is.

BuzzBadge to Google

Google does not need my BuzzBadge. I need Google's buzz. I am awarding BuzzBadge to Google because it has helped me a lot in my quest to find the gems in the sea of web pages. It is doing a marvelous job indeed.

Interestingly, if you do a search for "search engine" on Google, the first result turns out to be altavista.com. Now you know Google does not discriminate.

Google has become the most used search engine because of its ultra-sophisticated search algorithm that is able to rank pages so well. A little search on the algorithm tells me that Google does not reveal the algorithm. However, search engine optimizers agree that the algorithm can be grouped into two categories, namely, on-page factors and off-page factors.

On-page factors include meta keywords, description, title of the page, the URL, keyword density, related keywords (recent popular Latent Semantic Indexing).

Off-page factors? It has been rumored that Google tracks thousands of off-page factors, such as the time a visitor spend on a page, a random visitor's browsing behavior, the number of in-pointing links to a website, how often does a visitor return... these are just some of the guesses, Google does not reveal them.

Google's recent acquisition of YouTube proves its courage (copyright infringement is a big issue with YouTube). However, Google might have found a way to get away. The punishment on Napster does not happen to Kazaa.

Hats off to Google.
