Increase your website traffic by URL submission to search engines

Traffic sources is important for a website to be  known and visited by people searching on the web. There are different traffic sources that a website can have such as search engines, social networking and other referrals.

If you have a new website, it is recommended to add the URL of your website to the main search engines which are google, bing and yahoo.  You can also submit the url to Dmoz which is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web.

Creating blog sites are now getting popular. With blog, the fresh and new information can be easily be uploaded and shared on the web. Some are using their blog to monetize and earn.

But, how can a blog or a website owner monetize their site?

Tips to monetize your website

Let me share some list of where to register or submit your blog / website to increase the traffic of your site.

Increase your website traffic by URL submission to search engines (Register your blog/ website to search engines)

  1. https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx
  2. http://www.dmoz.org/add.html
  3. http://www.egyptsearch.com/add.html
  4. http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/
  5. http://www.exactseek.com/add.html
  6. http://www.google.com.au/addurl/?continue=/addurl
  7. http://blogsearch.google.com/ping
  8. http://gigablast.com/addurl
  9. http://www.search.ch/addurl.en.html

Normally it would take days or weeks for your website to be indexed in search engines. You can monitor the traffic sources of your site by installing web analytics such as google analytics or statcounter then look for the visitors link activity.

I hope this helps to those who are asking me about monetizing their website.

Steps to connect your domain and web host

Some people are wondering on how to connect domain and web host. The process of connecting your domain and web host depends on where you bought the domain. There are companies that when you bought a domain and web host together  they will be the one to connect the domain and web host. But what if you bought a domain from a different company and you wanted to have web hosting in another company? You will have to connect manually your domain and webhost.

Important thing you need before connecting your domain and web host: Know The name servers that your web hosting company provided you with. They can be found usually in the welcome email after you bought the web hosting or you can just simply request for it.

Steps to connect your domain and web host

  1. Login to your domain register’s website.
  2. Go to domain management or manage domain.
  3. Under nameservers, go to set name servers or change name servers.  If you are using goddady as domain register’s website then choose “ I have specific nameservers for my domains”.
  4. Provide your web hosting name servers at name server 1 and name server 2. Usually there is  default name server 1 and name server 2 make sure to change it to your web hosting name servers.
  5. Click save.

After changing the name servers, you have to wait for the DNS propagation period. The DNS propagation period varies and normally it would take 12-24 hours. The default page that you can view is temporarily pointing to your domain register’s website but after the propagation is complete it will be pointing to your web host. In my experience, the time it takes for the DNS propagation completed was about four hours.

After the DNS propagation, it is now your turn to create and update your website. I remember when I started creating a website, I used to watch videos on how to build a website.

Brief about google page layout algorithm improvement

Since I am currently doing some changes and improvement on my sites, I will be sharing a brief  about google page layout algorithm improvement. The recommendation of google page layout algorithm improvement will surely be helpful in providing quality search results for the users in looking for a quality content.

Google Page Layout algorithm imnprovement:

  • When users click on the search results, content should be easily visible.
  • Websites or blog having top of the page with ads to an excessive degree should improve their site by decreasing their ads or re-arranging their position on the page.
  • Algorithmic change does not affect sites who place ads above-the-fold to a normal degree.
  •  Overall, publishers should continue to be to focus on delivering the best possible user experience on their  websites and not to focus on specific algorithm tweaks.

Tips in getting started with blogging and earning

Blogging is one of the easiest way to share, learn updated news and stories, connect and exchange ideas. For most blogging is the way to write down their personal journals but for some they do blogging while earning from it. I started blogging year 2010 with the aim of writing down my personal learning in life.

I was creating a static website  but then decided to turn into blogging rather than focusing on my static website.  A popular SEO blogger suggested that it would be best if I consider blogging because it is easier to manage and update contents compared to static website. So I did. It’s been two years now and I am happy with the outcome of my blogging. I have observed the progress of my blogging and now I wanted to share the basic tips in getting started with blogging.

Tips in getting started with blogging and earning

  • Create a blog from blogger.com or wordpress. Blogger .com is free to use but your domain will be yourdomainname.blogspot.com. You can purchase a domain from google and use blogger.com or you can setup a self-hosted wordpress blog. The easiest way to practice is through blogger.com but if you have a friend that can teach you right away about setting up a self-hosted blog then do so.
  • Publish a quality post everyday or as often as you like. Signup in social networks like facebook, twitter and google + then setup your blog with their platform. Start sharing your post.
  • As a newbie blogger, a great way to learn in blogging is through blog hopping. Visit your favorite blogs, leave a comment and read what you can learn from them.
  • Sign up for a paypal account and unionbank EON account. Paypal is the best option in receiving your online earnings and unionbank EON account is a great way to withdraw your money here in the Philippines.
  • After one month, submit your website to major search engines like google, yahoo, bing or AOL.
  • When you get your first google page rank, I think it is good to request for exchange links with your favorite blogs with the same niche.
  • Based in my experience, it is best to monetize your blog after three months of having good quality post. Approximately after three months you will have 60- 90 published posts and already have a google page rank.

Always create quality post or article. The tips that I share are the basics in blogging and if your really wanted to pursue it, you have to be patient, hard working and positive. Good Luck!

In global ranking their website is in good ranking when I review it at alexa.  Some of their SEO services that I like are Keyword Analysis, Search Engine Submissions, Optimized, Branded & Distributed Articles, Link Building Campaign, Manual Directory Submissions, Social Bookmarking and Mobile Site Optimization Consulting.
