Thread: Link Tips For Bloggers

Hey guys here is some tips when blogging you may find useful. The first is the no follow which should be used when you don't want to give link juice or how Google puts it vote for a website. Now to use the no follow attribute when placing a link on your blog here is an example:

Code:

<a href="www.whateverlink.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.whateverlink.com</a>

Use the rel="nofollow" attribute whenever you do not want to send a backlink to a specific web presence.

The second tip is really helpful for all the bloggers that makes lists it is also helpful when you would prefer that your visitor rather than leaves your website to a link that you provide, but rather opens the link in a new window. Anyway here is the code:

Code:

<a href="www.whateverurl.com" target="_blank">http://www.whateverurl.com</a>

anyway use the target="_blank" whenever you do not want a visitor to leave your blog, but rather open the link in a new window.

Anyway if you have anymore html tips for blogs I would like to hear them

Nice friendly tips.

I, personally, dislike sites that open links in another window...Kinda is annoying however I understand why people do that of course.

As far as the no follow, my and my husbands blog just went from nofollow to a dofollow and the results are just amazing as many people love dofollow so I think the no follow attribute may become dead soon lol.

I know one site that I go to quite frequently, webmonkey.com for learning html, it may contain some good stuff for bloggers too but I never used it for that reason but for personal reasons but it has nice tutorials that may help someone.

nice tips frnd .. thnks

Hey thanks for sharing this tips with us.

Here is a collection of My SEO tips for my beloved readers..

1) Don't put too much posts on homepage - When you put too much content on homepage, it leads to duplicate content. Means many pages on your blog will have similar content. Your latest post page and your homepage has got the same content rite?

2) Submit a Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools

3) You will have links to feeds on your pages. Or may be some links to social bookmarking sites. Too many links on a page makes it unfriendly for search engines. So you should add the rel='nofollow' tag to such not so importan links..

- Feed links (The blog feed has same content as your blog.So it is important that you make the feed links nofollow)
- Social Bokkmarking links - If you use social bookmark buttons like that for digg,stumble twitter etc, try making them nofollow..
- Links to unimportant pages(unimportant to search engines.. )like contact me page,link to me page,about me page etc..
<a href="link url">link name</a> is a dofollow url
<a href="link url" rel="nofollow">link name</a> is the nofollow version of the same link

4) Use the Title Tag Hack

5)Use Meta Tags
- What you shouldn't do when using meta tags - I have seen many blogs using the same meta tag for all pages of the blog.You should never use such duplicate meta tags, I suggest that you use a separate meta description and keywords for your home page.You can use b:if conditions to do this.

6) Get backlinks.. Get more links to your site from your friends..

7) Submit your blog to Directories. - One of them is here Blogger Directory

8)I won't add a archive widget.If i do it i will display it on a particular page only. - Why? The arhive widget has so many links in it..As i said too many links on a page is unfriendly to search engines.

9)Don't add additional ROBOT meta tags.. Some guys try adding tags like <meta name='robots'...... >
Blogger automatically does some SEO for it.. Don't overide it. You know something? Every blogger blog has got a robots.txt file.. see mine.. http://www.bloggerplugins.org/robots.txt Offcourse we cant edit them.

10)When building backlinks use your primary keyword as the anchor text. <a href="">Anchor Text</a> - > Just to explain what an Anchor Text is.
I use Blogger Widgets as my Anchor Text.

11) Use Alt tags for images. When you use images try to add alt tags. For example <img src="http://imageurl"/> can be replaced as <img src="http://imageurl/" alt="Some alternate description for the image"/>

12) Focus on what you write. Always try to write some unique and interesting content.You cant hope to be on top of search engines with copy paste blog posts..

These are some of the ones that i remember..Will update it if i find anymore..

^ I hope you put some credit where you actually get this article.

Very useful tips! Thank very much!

I like your intelligence! hehehe!

Link to open in new window or tab is very nice so visitor wont go out of our site.
No follow for me is a lesser consideration because I want to share link also.

Such a nice tip you have given here. This type of tips are difficult to find.
Thanks for the great tips, especially the second.

Good tips. On the subject of no_follow vs 'do follow' there are pros and cons. Personally I recommend that you use both. If someone makes a valid contribution to your website or blog then you should let them have a do follow link. Likewise, if you link to a site that you recommend or maybe even a service or product then again do follow the link.

I would use no_follow for links that you do not trust or endorse. For example, if your blog allows comments to be posted without moderation you may want to no_follow them to avoid spamming and links that you have not endorsed. Or if you post paid links these also should be no_follow.

I also believe there are SEO benefits to useing follow links. Google will be looking for relevance to your website/blog, so if my blog is aboput blue widgets then google is expecting to see some follow links to blue widget sites.

At the end of the day, just use some common sense and use links in as natural a fashion as possible.

hey i hoped this help! thanks for postin this.. when i was new at this those kinds of tips REALLY helped me out. good luck yall!

Good tips....Thanks for sharing it....great

Also, here is the HTML for cloaking a link that is, hiding the URL from being seen by your visitors, and also adding a title to a link.

<a href="http://yourblog.com" target="_blank" onMouseOver="window.status='status bar text'; retyour title text">anchor text</a>

These are some great tips, thanks

Giving no follow attribute to outgoing links can also help you "keep" your PR and not giving it to other sites.

wowwoww!
