Tag and Ping - Social Bookmarking Secrets

Tag and Ping, these three words have suddenly become the mantra that every body seems to be chanting. Its almost reminiscent of the days when Blog and Ping was being sold as the sole panacea for indexing and getting traffic to your sites.

The "Tag And Ping" method that every body is talking about is nothing but taking social bookmarking and leveraging it for SEO.


While social bookmarking has been around for quite some time and was originally intended to help users categorize and store their favorite links online, SEO professionals soon saw the potential for utilizing this to get their sites to rank high.

Tag And Ping can be used to promote any type of website, whether its a website monetized with Google Adsense, your Blog, Your sales page or even a site promoting affiliate products.

You know, luckily not many people know that Social Bookmarking can be used as a link building methodology and this presents you a great opportunity, as a Tag Automator subscriber, to stay one step ahead of the competition.

The strategies explained over the next few emails will help you get an unbelievable avalanche of traffic to your sites and the Tag Automator software suite will multiply that many times more.

So stay tuned and make the most of this strategy.

So, What Is Social Bookmarking ?

Social bookmarking is utilizing a web service, where users create a public repository of bookmarks pertaining to sites that they like.

The concept of social bookmarking dates back to 1996 with the launch of itList.com, followed by services like Blink and Hotlinks and many more. But, the popularity of Social Bookmarking increased with the advent of the most popular bookmarking site till date, del.icio.us.

Social bookmarking sites organize their content using tags. Social bookmarking sites are an increasingly popular way to locate, classify, rank, and share Internet resources through the practice of tagging and inferences drawn from grouping and analysis of tags.

And What is a Tag?

A tag is basically a keyword. It is a label that you categorize a website under. For example if I was tagging this website, I would tag it under "tag and ping", "tag", "ping" etc.

Tagging is simply a way to find a website that I bookmark without remembering where you put it. You can just enter a tag to find websites that you have marked with certain tags.

The tags act as a way to quickly find your bookmarks without remembering where you put them. This is why the bookmark sites allow you to assign more than one tag.

These bookmark sites allow you to share your personal bookmarks with the public. This is where the term "social" comes into play. When you bookmark a site other people can also find the site that you bookmarked if they enter the same tag that you classified the site under.

Not only can you find the sites that you tagged under certain keywords but so can everyone else.

These bookmarks and tags may seem like geekspeak, but from an SEO standpoint these can build you a massive amount of backlinks which seem to originate from authority sites.

How to Use Simple Tag and Ping Marketing Techniques

If you're just heard the phrase 'Tag and Ping' and scratching your head in puzzlement --- this article may be worth your time. Not that Tag and Ping is some magic marketing formula that will deliver untold riches. It won't.



It is just one more marketing tool professional online marketers are using to give their site or sites a competitive edge over their competition. It will help put your site on the Internet map and if done right, Tag and Ping will deliver plenty of very targeted traffic to your sales pages. It will boost your rankings and increase your sales.



Tag and Ping is one of those simple, yet relatively unknown marketing techniques savvy Internet Marketers have been using and trying to keep quiet for years. To truly understand how Tag and Ping works, you will have to know some basic background information on keywords, blogging, tags, and how all these can work in sync to deliver traffic, links and sales to your site.



What are Blogs?



Most web users will know a blog is an online journal where bloggers post their daily or hourly entries (their opinions, views, info, links) on any subject that interests them. The most popular blogging systems are Blogger.com (owned by Google) Bloglines (owned by Ask Jeeves), LiveJournal, and many professional marketers use the free WordPress software which they can host on their own websites.



Each blog has its own RSS feed -- RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication although its original acronym stood for Rich Site Summary. These RSS feeds broadcasts the information in the blog posts to all concerned parties -- those who have subscribed and use an RSS reader or aggregator to view the posts. Or more commonly, they use the FireFox browser, Google Desktop, or MyYahoo to access their favorite RSS feeds. The next version of Windows will have RSS embedded into its operating system.



What are Tags?



Tags are really another name for keywords. Most surfers will know keywords are the exact words Internet users type into search engines to find what they're looking on the world wide web. Tags work in the same way and are a form of social bookmarking, a way of classifying and accessing all that content in all those countless blogs.



Many major blogging directories such as Technorati use tags to serve up the information to its patrons. One simple technique to create a tag in Technocrati:



<*a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Laptops" rel="tag">Laptops<*/a>
(remove asterisks in actual code)



Or if your blogging software supports categories; this will be recognized by Technorati as a tag.



What the heck is a Ping?



A ping is a simple way to notify the different search engines to let them know that your blog has been updated. You call up or ping your blog post.



You bookmark or place an entry in any one of the countless blogging sites such as Technorati, Furl, del.icio.us, Blinklist, Flickr --- you go to these sites and click your blog or tag to inform them you have updated your blog. Many blogging systems will automatically ping your blog updates.



Or you can do this manually, for example Technorati's ping form is here: http://www.technorati.com/ping



Simple Way to Ping



If this is still confusing to you, one simple way to ping your tags/blogs is to use a site like: http://pingomatic.com/ and it will automatically ping your blog in many of the most popular blogging services.



Enter The Online Professional Marketers and It All Hits the Fan



Of course, online marketers have long discovered that the whole blogging system -- blogs, rss, tags, pinging -- is an excellent marketing vehicle. One great marketing system delivering targeted traffic to their products and services.



It really is a corruption or commercialization of blogging and this surely wasn't the idea the original designers of blogs had in mind. But the whole blogging system is so lucrative, many professional marketers (the author is pleading the fifth!) are using blogging systems like WordPress to create mainly marketing sites that may have little resemblance to a real blog. It just uses the backbone structure of blogs, RSS, Tags to give their sites a slight competitive edge in a very competitive world.



As we saw with the 'comment spam' there is a great likelihood that Tag and Ping will be misused and further antagonize the blogging purists. So if you are going to use Tag and Ping make sure you're creating valuable, usable content -- then most sites will want to link to your site anyway. Content is still king no matter what tricks the professional marketers want to use. Always will be!



Using a Simple Tag and Ping Marketing Technique With Technorati



To explain further the whole idea of Tag and Ping. Lets just walk through a marketing system you can quickly create using Technorati, one of the most popular blogging services.



First, sign your blog up with Technorati. This is quite a simple procedure. Just upload a photo, doesn't have to be of you -- your site's logo will do. Register your profile with your 20 or so tags relating to your blog. Make sure these are keywords you're marketing with your blog. Then you have to place the Technorati code on your blog for a link back.



Next, you must understand that Technorati creates a landing page for each tag in their system. This page is made up of four parts:



  • Flickr Photos
  • Recent blog posts tagged with that keyword or phrase
  • Who’s Blogging About sidebar which links to any profiles of blogs that those same keywords or phrase in their profile
  • Links from Furl for the same tag

So to take full advantage and to use this marketing technique you have to sign up with both Flickr and Furl. Your aim is to get your links in all four spots on this Technorati landing page for your tag or keyword.



When signing up for Flickr, many marketers use their site's name for their Flickr username, just use a dash instead of a dot in your site's url. You can use a photo of the product they're promoting to get a link from Flickr in the top spot on the landing page. Pick your tags and description for the product.



Set up a Furl account and download the Toolbar , bookmark a few sites to get the hang of how its done.



Now You're Really To Put Everything Together To Tag and Ping



  1. You can start with the Flickr photos at top of the Technorati page. Just post a photo or cover image into your Flickr account, making sure you tag it and use a catchy headline in your description. Link it to your landing or affiliate page url. Example: Don't buy another marketing tool until your check out this site.
  2. Next, make the first of your blog posts on your particular subject or product to your blog, making sure you tag it with your keywords and then ping Technorati. Make all your posts good content, reviews, product information or free downloads. Your entry will appear on the top of the list for that tag shortly in Technorati.
  3. Furl your blog post and your landing/affiliate page with your tags to make sure your entry/post is listed the bottom section of the Technorati page for your tag.

To work this system, add another blog post every few hours, Tag and Ping, plus Furl your posts. For better results you can sign up for countless other social bookmarking sites and bookmark your pages. Here are just a few good ones: del.icio.us, blinklist, moreover, icerocket, weblogs...



Flickr, Blog, Tag, Ping, Furl



This is just one Tag and Ping method, professional marketers have countless systems and sites working many variations on this relative new marketing technique. But the information given above should get you started on your own Tag and Ping marketing system.



Remember, blogging and RSS are the wave of the future, make sure you're geared up to take advantage of all they have to offer. You must have at least one blog on your site. Use WordPress if you can -- Blogger will do in a pinch!



Just make sure you're using some Ping and Tag marketing techniques to harvest all those links, traffic and sales for your site. This is one marketing technique you should now be using. Just
remember to Flickr, Blog, Tag, Ping, Furl - Rinse and Repeat!

Marketing Tips From The Tag And Ping School of Marketing

Tag and Ping, Google Analytics, Micro-Dissecting Logs, Visual PageRank...

What does all those topics have in common?

No, I haven't gotten into the happy-pill jar, just in case you're wondering! What does all those topics have in common? They are all marketing tactics or strategies I am presently using to promote and propel my sites into the ever increasing, all encompassing Internet stratosphere.

Let's face it, there are countless marketing methods, tricks, tips, strategies you can use to give your site an edge over the competition. And yes, there are many marketing secrets left to be told. More being born each day. Countless secrets most of us will never discover, let alone understand.

But what you have to understand, each webmaster or marketer employs a whole set of techniques to promote and propel their sites. Each marketing system is different, each one can develop into a complex creature slowly weaving its presence into the fabric of the world wide web. Might sound a bit fantastic, but it is nevertheless true.

Also know each website on the Internet has its own unique linking structure, connections, keywords, traffic... its own unique genetic link-code. Why should da Vinci have all the fun!

Each webmaster, whether they realize it or not, creates this unique linking structure for each site they build. From day one, when the first link is placed on their site -- this complex marketing structure is put into motion. What makes some sites succeed, what makes them become successful automatic profit generating machines... while others fail? That is the real question. That is the only real secret you need to know.

Of course, a site's content plays a major role, but even two sites with more or less the same content will have two totally different dynamic linking structures created. One may succeed, the other fail.

So in this line of thinking, I thought I would tell you some of the marketing strategies I use for my sites and also reveal what I believe to be the underlying factor that is key to the whole shebang. Tactics that will promote and propel your site into the center of the world wide web. Are you Ready? Here goes:

Tag and Ping

A few years back, it was all blog and ping. This technique really worked for a while. You wrote a keyword rich entry into one of your blogs and then pinged this entry with one of the many blogging directories or sites like MyYahoo to get the information spidered and indexed. The search engines wised up quickly and it no longer works as well.

Now, you will hear the magic words 'Tag and Ping' till you're sick of hearing them. This is a method I have been using for some time. It's basically the same thing, only you're using the tag or tagging system of such sites as Technorati to draw attention to your tag or keyword.

It has a special application for keyword marketing and is very effective for getting traffic and links to your keywords. One simple way to use tags with Technorati:

<*a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Computers" rel="tag">Computers<*/a>
(remove asterisks in actual code)

Or if your blogging software supports categories; this will be recognized by Technorati as a tag.

Since this is a relatively new way of marketing your site, expect it to work for a little while. Until the spammers get in and ruin it, like they did to blog comments.

Google Analytics

This is a free program from Google that every webmaster should be using. If you don't use it -- get it! www.google.com/analytics

Google Analytics will give you priceless information about your sites, your links, your visitors and your marketing. It will show you which pages are working, which pages are not working. It will tell you which pages holds your visitor's attention, which pages lead to your marketing goals/sales...in other words it will tell you how effective your site is at getting the job done.

The more knowledge you have about your site, the more successful it will be. A lot of times, being a success is finding/tracking the one method or technique that works and repeating it again and again on your other pages or sites. Google analytics will help you find the successful techniques on your site. Then you have to run with them.

Micro-Dissecting Logs

Another valuable source of information about your site is in your daily logs. If you're not dissecting or micro inspecting your daily hosting logs, you're not realizing the full potential of your site. Your site's logs holds the keys to your site's success, it holds the information that will make your site profitable or more profitable.

It will give you information on your site, it will also give you information on your site's visitors. The real key to Internet marketing is finding out what exactly your visitors are looking for and then giving it to them. Find out the exact keywords your visitors type into search engines, then supply the answer or solution on your site. It is as simple as that -- give your visitors what they want.

Whether it is more information on 'the nature of the universe' or where they can purchase the cheapest laptop? Just supply the answer to their question. Your daily logs will give you this information, read them, dissect them and most of all use them to give your visitors what they want. Make your content relevant.

Buying Links

This marketing technique has mixed reviews, many marketers use it -- many discourage it.

You have to be very careful when buying links, know exactly what you're buying and be wary of the search engines who may look down upon this practice. Don't buy any links from link farms, or sites which have been banned from Google. Stay clear of any black hat tricks or methods, play fair and you will win in the long run.

To me, buying links is just another way of advertising your site. If your site or online business is successful, naturally you're going to put some of your profits back into promoting or advertising your site. One way to do this is through buying links on high ranked pages/sites: PR5 or over.

I recently bought my first text link!

It's something I rarely do, mainly because my article writing produces many one-way links back to my site. However, there was one site I just wanted to get a link from, and if it means I have to pay $7 a month for the link, so be it.

Currently the page has a PR0! Why would I buy a link on a PR0 page -- don't worry, still haven't gotten into that happy-pill jar. Because it's a very new popular page on a very popular new site. The site is www.iwebtool.com and it has an Alexa ranking under 2000. The site is about a year old! The page itself holds what I believe will be a very popular webmaster tool that shows you visually all the PR rankings on any webpage on the net.

Visual PageRank.

In other words, just type in any url and it will show you visually all the Google PR rankings for all the links on that page, internal links and external links. Valuable information any webmaster or marketer can use. Besides, that page has a cool factor which in my opinion will propel it to a very high PR ranking in the future. There are already a few pages on this site with a PR6 ranking, but all those links have been sold. Once this new page was created, I jumped at a chance to get a link there on that site.

Other places to purchase links:

www.linkhaul.com

www.linkadage.com

www.textlinkbrokers.com

One more Marketing Technique

There is one more important marketing method that makes all the above techniques pale in comparison. This simple technique is article marketing. Write simple informative articles on the subject of your site. Submit these keyword rich articles to online article directories like EzineArticles.com and place links back to your site in the resource box at the end of each article.

Article writing is one of the best methods to market your site, you will be surprised at the effectiveness of this simple marketing technique. Done correctly, it can be your most powerful marketing tool.

Information Core.

Did you get the big picture? Did you get the underlying theme running through all these Internet marketing techniques? The common thread that holds everything together? What makes them effective?

That common thread is Information.

Information runs the web. It is the center. Dispensing this information is a complex system consisting of search engines, directories, websites, blogs... you must entangle and entwine your site as deeply as you can into this information process.

That's why article writing is such an effective marketing tool, it strikes at the center of this essential process. It places your content and your site right in the middle of all this exchange of information. The more relevant your content, the closer you will get to the real action and the more popular your site will become.

Remember, all these marketing techniques are not really secrets, just effective ways you can promote and propel your site or sites closer to the information core that runs the web. The thread that binds everything together. The closer you can get your site to this center, the better
it will flourish. The more you can entangle your site into the whole mix.... search engines, directories, links to popular sites... the more successful your site will become.

All these marketing techniques: tag and ping, article marketing, buying links... will help place your site into this information mix. Likewise, Google Analytics, micro-dissecting your logs, and visual pagerank are all information gathering methods every webmaster should use to make this journey easier and quicker. Knowledge is the only real marketing tool you need.

So go 'Tag and Ping' all you like but realize it is just the latest in a long line of marketing techniques you should be using to promote and propel your site closer towards the one common thread that really matters.

Tag And Ping Your Way To More Website Traffic

What are called Social Bookmarking sites are websites that organize their content using tags, instead of a directory structure like Yahoo. A typical social bookmarking site is Tag4Profit.com

Social Bookmarking is an increasingly popular way to locate and classify websites. Instead of one editor categorizing sites in a directory, tagging takes a populist approach. The more people who tag a website with a keyword, the more likely it is that other people will see those tags and social bookmarks, and also visit the site.


Instead of paying to be listed at the top of search rankings, social bookmarking lets people decide what are the best websites associated with a certain keyword.

At least in theory.

The process can be gamed to some extent. Dozens of accounts at social bookmarking sites can be created for the purpose of creating tags listing a particular website.

There is also the problem with misspellings and people using misleading tags to associate with a web page.

However, since creating tags is still for the most part a manual, tedious process, athis greatly reduces the likelihood of widespread bookmarking spam. Moreover, a complaint from those using a service can cause such spam to be quickly deleted.

A tag is basically a keyword. It is a label that you categorize a website under.

The tags act as a way to quickly find your bookmarks without remembering where you put them. This is why the bookmark sites allow you to assign more than one tag.

You can also share your personal bookmarks with the public. This is where the term social in social bookmarking comes into play. When you bookmark a site other people can also find the site that you bookmarked if they enter the same tag that you classified the site under.

Tags can also be included in blog posts. This also helps the sites find web content that is being categorized by a certain keyword.

There are two general ways this increases traffic to your website.

First, people using social bookmarking websites search on a keyword. When your site, tagged with that keyword, comes back in the results, that link to your site can be clicked on to bring the person to your website.

Second, since the social bookmarking tags can themselves be tagged by others, some tag pages will become authoritative resources for the best websites. What this means is that a page of tags for sites about, for example, 'polar bears' may become so valuable that webmasters will link to that page on the social bookmarking website as a resource about 'polar bears'.

In short, this gives the social bookmarking tags page a good page rank. Being linked to, or tagged, from such authoritative pages increases the value of your website to some search engines, particularly Google. In turn, this will bump your website up the search listings.

How Can Your SEO Keywords Make Money?

As you likely know by now, there is a big difference between effective, quality website content, and search engine optimized (SEO) website content that will obtain the highest ranks in search engines and directories such as Google, Yahoo!, and MSN. However, to apply SEO properly to your website, you first need to know which keywords to use. Once you have them, you also need to know if those keywords are working for you, or if you will need to tweak them to get better results. After all, a keyword is only as good as the money it makes for you.

The keyword itself is a certain word or phrase that someone would type into a search engine or web directory in order to find your website. The keyword you choose for any given page should describe that page in a way that a regular web surfer would search for it. The keyword should be a direct reflection of the content of that page. They should never contain any random or additional words that have nothing to do with you, your business, or your website. If they do contain these excess words, then you won't obtain the maximum results from your SEO strategy.

Among the most widely accepted keyword strategies is that the number of keywords in a website should never exceed 21-22. There are sites out there that have well over six and seven hundred keywords, without any content to back those keywords up. Even if they did have content for every one of those keywords, there would be no point, since search engines will ignore any keyword over their limit of 22 words.

Keywords are each counted as one word. Key phrases, on the other hand, are also counted as one, no matter how many words make them up. For example, if you owned a computer company, a keyword could be "computers". This would be counted as one word. However, you could also have a key phrase "discount computer company", which would also be counted as one.

Even though key phrases are each counted as only one keyword, you should always keep them very short and straight to the point, without any excess words or puff.

To properly apply these keywords to your website, you first need to come up with a list of 21 or 22 keywords/key phrases that will describe your website content, such as the product or service you are selling. You then need to work them into your content, as well as into the site description coding and any additional information you submit to the search engines upon registration with them.

To identify the keywords, there are many different tools that you can use. You can pull them straight out of the air, have friends and colleagues brainstorm with you, or use one or two of many different softwares that are available for specifically that purpose. One of the most popular among these softwares is the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool. You simply need to tell it what your site is about, and it will suggest a number of different potential keywords based on what has been searched for within the last past month.

By making sure that you're using the right keywords, you're much more likely to choose exactly the word or phrase that a web surfer might type when searching for what your site has to offer. This is the entire point of SEO. When done properly, you'll increase the number of visitors to your site, and will therefore experience increased sales. Your website will be more visible, more find-able, and more successful, all by selecting the right wording. Though it may sound complex at first, once you get the hang of it, it does become much more routine. You must remember, though, that this is a time consuming process, and is something that you will need to maintain for the entire life of your website. If you don't have the time or willingness to dedicate to your website, be certain to hire a professional to do it for you. It is definitely worth the extra few dollars that it will cost. The increased sales will pay for the SEO many times over.

Be Specific

Should You Tag and Ping?

You own a blog, and you want to make money from it. How do you do that? Well, to start with you need to get traffic to your blog. It doesn't matter how brilliant the content of your blog is, if nobody ever sees it, then you're never going to make any money from it.

So how do you go about getting more visitors to your site? Well, unless you're willing to pay money for a Google Adwords campaign or something similar, then you need to make sure the major search engines like you. Or more to the point, convince the search engines that other websites like you! This is known as link popularity, and is often used by the search engines to determine whether or not to improve the ranking of a site in search results. The more links you have from other websites pointing to your website, the more "popular" your site is deemed to be, and the better its ranking.

Of course, like most strategies for improving traffic, linking has been abused and overdone in a big way with Internet marketers. They set up thousands of links from sites that had nothing to do with their own blog, and got rewarded for it. Now, however, search engines are mostly interested in relevant links. So if you have a blog about grooming dogs, and you have a link from a dog site, great. If the links is from a site about cheese, however, chances are it won't help with your link popularity.

So the bottom line is that there's no point joining any type of link farm, where you can buy or trade links with sites that have no relevancy to yours. You need to focus on obtaining links from complementary sites, which is best done by finding those sites online and writing to the site owner. Time consuming, but it pays off. Particularly if the site that links to you has a high page rank in Google.

If this all sounds like a lot of work - guess what, it is! That's where the tag and ping technique comes into it. Basically, you list your blog on an authority site, and every time you update your blog, you let them know. The authority site needs can be either a social bookmarking site, like del.icio.us, or a blog directory, like Technorati. When you list your blog, you include a list of tags, or keywords, that your blog is about. So going back to the dog grooming example, you would use tags like "dog", "dogs", "dog grooming" and so on. That way, when people go to these authority sites and search for dog grooming, your site will be on the list.

The second part of the technique is to ping the sites you list your blog with. A ping is simply like giving the site a courtesy phone call to tell them your blog has a new post on it. It's all done automatically, either by visiting the site and clicking on an update option for your blog, or you can set up a ping facility at a site like Pingomatic. Then all you need to do is refresh your ping request, and Pingomatic will automatically notify as many blog directories as you choose. This is a great way of letting lots of places at once know you've updated your blog.

It takes a few minutes to add your site to sites like del.icio.us, or to create a new job in Pingomatic. But the good thing is that once it's done, it only takes a minute or two to update these authority sites, so that they can list your freshest content immediately.

To help you get started with tag and ping, I recommend that you check out an automated social bookmarking tool called the Auto Social Poster. This tool will allow you to automatically bookmark pages of your Wordpress blog and then tag and ping those pages. It does the tedious work so that you can focus on other aspects of your business.

Tag and ping is quite simple, so give it a try, and once you get the hang of it you'll find it's almost an automatic thing to tag and ping every time you post something new to your blog. Even better, you'll start to see an improvement in your traffic and ranking.

Tag and Ping - the Answer to Easy Traffic?

Tag and Ping, there has been lots of hype about this relatively new and unknown method of getting lots of traffic.

How does it work? Whereas normal websites use keywords, blog sites like Technorati among others use tags. Tags work in a similar way to keywords.

Lets take an example. If a post is written about Labrador retrievers, it could be posted under the tag Labrador retrievers.

It is possible to post under more than one tag, so it could include puppies as well for example. Use tag and ping for maximum traffic by posting under different tags.

The big benefit with using tags is that with sites like Technorati which monitors millions of blogs is that when a post is added, the tag that is was posted under will be at the top of the index for that tag.

It is possible to do search by tags and find the latest post under any tag.

If a highly popular tag is used like music for example, then the post will not remain at the top of the tag lists for long, as there are many posts added using music.

The benefit is that when using a very popular tag, it can result in a lot of traffic and back links.

If a high traffic tag is used, then it is possible to use this traffic for adsense payments, direct to affiliate links or any other way you like.

If used correctly, tag and ping can result in a lot of traffic and links to your sites.

If blogs are something new to you, then sign up for either a free blog like Blogger, which is owned by Google, and it is possible to have a blog up and running in five minutes.

There are several options available for free and paid blogs. I recommend using Wordpress. It is available as a free and also a paid version that can be used on a paid hosting account.

The reason why it is advisable to have a blog on your own hosting account is that there is more control of the blog.

With hosting very cheap, from around $7 per month, and domain names form $8 per year, it is recommended to have your own hosting as this offers a more professional image to visitors.

To get maximum benefit, use a combination of free and hosted blogs.

Then sign up for an account with Technorati or other blog sites enter your blog details, and the tags you would like to use.

Start to post to your blogs; the next step is to ping (which is a way of letting Technorati know that new content has been added, and they will visit your blog).

It is possible to ping Technorati directly, or use other services like Pingomatic, which not only pings Technorati but various other sites to let them know new content has been added.

If you want to know what are the most popular tags, visit Technorati.com and it is possible to see the most popular tags. Of course posting under one of these tags means you will be at the top of the list of results for that tag for a short time.

But using some other tags that are less popular, with tag and ping it is possible to have your post with links to your sites or affiliate links on display for several days.

Tag and Ping is an effective way to get traffic to blogs and websites, use it as part of your plan for getting traffic.

Tag and Ping is not Dead

Some months ago a young guy from Thailand by the name of Sean Wu revealed what some big name gurus have been quietly doing for years already to get almost immediate traffic to their sites and to get them noticed by the search engine spiders. Of course, I am talking about Tag and Ping.

What exactly is Tag and Ping?

You may have heard the term Blog and Ping before. That´s a method which was a perfect way to get the search engine spiders coming to your site very quickly. I say was because it has become less effective than in the 2 years before.

The search engines do not value blogs that much anymore if they are pinging the blog directories extensively. But you can still get permanent links on these sites if you submit your site to their directories using a tool like my Blog Promoter.

Tagging is another, similar way to drive laser targeted traffic to a website. Basically, tagging means that you want your posts to appear on social bookmarking sites (sites to organize your bookmarks online) under certain keywords or categories aka Tags.

Apart from social bookmarking sites there are a kind of hybrid sites as they combine social bookmarking with blog posts. The most popular site in this category is Technorati.com. As these sites have thousands of regular visitors looking for regularly updated content, it is a much faster way to get traffic to your website than waiting to get listed in the search engines.

What are the benefits of Tag and Ping? – it´s free – nnot too complicated – you don´t have to buy additional software to do it – you can get high PR backlinks to your website – almost immediate traffic to your site

Unfortunately, some spammers have been using these techniques to such an extent that several social bookmarking sites had to take countermeasures to protect their integrity.

Conclusion

It´s important that you don´t use this method in an unethical manner like Sean Wu suggested in his ebook (by creating multiple profiles on these sites and use their voting system to make your site appear more popular).

This would destroy the effectiveness of that method. But used ethically, Tag and Ping and the use of social bookmarking sites in general is a great long-term strategy and will enable you to achieve permanent and long term exposure for your all of your websites and blogs if you´re playing by the rules. Then this method will continue to work and bring your sites many advantages.

And not to forget, you´ll get permanent backlinks from authority sites even if not all of them will help you with your link popularity as some bookmarking sites have added a no follow tag to all of their pages. This means that the search engines won't follow the link to your site and it won't help you in your rankings.

Organic SEO Top 10 Myths

There are many SEO myths circulating on the Internet. These misconceptions are often crazy and while some are based on partial reality, others have spread due to the lack of being proved wrong.

Here is an example: Let's assume you make a change to your website content. Maybe after a few days you notice that your Google ranking for a certain keyword has altered. Now, it would be natural for you to assume that your content change had led to change in ranking. However, it may not be true. Your ranking could have changed due to several reasons, and may have absolutely nothing to do with the changes made to the content.

Of course, this action of mixing up the cause and effect is a common error on the part of new SEOs. Well, if it were limited to just their work, I wouldn't really mind it. But these guys are clueless and many a times spread their ignorance to other newbies on blogs and forums and create a ripple effect of newer myths. Here, I am making an attempt to discuss and clear the top 10 organic SEO myths:

Organic SEO Myth 1: You must submit your website URL to search engines. Once upon a time, this could have been the "in" thing. But since the past 5-6 years it has become unnecessary.

Organic SEO Myth 2: In order to get better ranking, you absolutely need a Google Sitemap. It's partially correct. However, if you have built your site properly (ensured its crawler-friendly) you don't require a Google Sitemap. That being said, having one won't hurt you and you can even use other Webmaster Central tools offered by Google, but this doesn't guarantee higher ranking.

Organic SEO Myth 3: For higher rankings, update your website regularly. Regular updating of your content pages may certainly increase the crawl rate for search engines, but not your website rankings. Only update your website content it is necessary and not because search engines will like it any better. As a matter of fact, the highest ranked websites on Google are those that haven't been updated in years!

Organic SEO Myth 4: PPC (pay per click) ads can help or hurt rankings. What amuses me most is that several people believe that participating in Google AdWords campaigns will hurt their organic SEO ranking, while many other believe that PPC will spike the traffic and up the ranking. All I can say is that neither of this is true!

Organic SEO Myth 5: Not following guidelines on Google will ban your website. Google's guidelines are common sense but not mandatory. It's advisable to read them, however just don't do any thing purely for search engines and you'll be fine.

Organic SEO Myth 6: Buying links can lead to banning of your website. It is partially true again. Google doesn't like to count paid links as votes for a website page. Mostly Google is unable to find out if the links are paid for, but even if it does, it won't count the links. Google won't ban your website in any case. A quick update, Google has made it easier to report paid links in sites that are unrelated to your site. Thought the reasoning is yet unclear and best practice should tell you don't buy links in unrelated site to your theme.

Organic SEO Myth 7: Header tags or H1 should be used to ensure high ranking. There is no evidence to prove this. However, this is one of the most common myths. You can reach top Google positioning without H1 but they certainly don't hurt so use H tags correctly.

Organic SEO Myth 8: Meta keywords tag need to be used on your page. The fact is that a Meta keyword tag was introduced to use keywords that are NOT on the site page already! However, this tag is ignored by Google in any case.

Organic SEO Myth 9: The SEO copy should be 250 words in length. 250 words is not really an optimal number nor is it specific for SEO rankings. Easily, 250 words allow one to write a good marketing copy and can be optimized for 3-5 main key phrases. However, shorter SEO copies work just as well.

Organic SEO Myth 10: Your pages should be optimized for the long tail keywords. This is not true. Nowadays, long-tail keyword phrases are no longer effective as not many pages use them and not many people search using long tails. You can include these keywords in blogs or even an article, but that is not really optimization.

Remember don't go spreading any SEO myths that you believe may be true. Test it yourself several times on different websites before reaching any conclusion as there are other factors involved as well.

Easy Organic SEO Tips for Your Website

Many websites want to use SEO for optimal use. The best SEO is organic SEO. Organic SEO is the perfect combination of intuition and skill. There is a saying that many SEO writers and web designers use: write and create websites for human first and search engines second. When you create a top-notch website with excellent articles that capture someone's interest, you are naturally going to use keywords that people will search for that topic most often. Organic SEO is simply using a strong dose of good common sense.

We've all seen websites that look like they were designed by robots, or people that simply didn't keep the visitor in mind. When you use organic SEO, you are always keeping the visitor well in mind. Yes, you do want to attract as many visitors as possible. You do this through having an excellent website that is both attractive and practical.

Update your site frequently - but not too frequently. Many think that SEO means to update your website all the time. This is not quite the case. You want your website to be updated with "sticky content" that has visitors returning to your website. Visitors should find articles and graphics appealing and attractive. When the articles at your website are interesting and people want to email them to their friends: you know you have been successful. Checking your website stats for both unique and return visitors can also give you a strong indication of how your organic SEO is working.

Use multiple keywords. An excellent suggestion to employ organic SEO is to use multiple keywords. Just about every topic one can think of can have several keywords. Incorporate two to three keywords in each article. These will help the search engines catch your articles and web copy easily, knowing that they have the information that people are searching for on this topic. When articles and copy have related keywords it is very useful for many purposes, including organic SEO.

Keep organic SEO copy at least 250 words in length. While you can occasionally write articles or copy (such as a blog post) that is shorter in length, it is probably best to keep things longer than 250 words. Articles and copy that are 250 words or longer help to capture the attention of the search engine and spiders that seek out the information when people do searches for the topics they are looking for. You don't want your copy to not be included, simply because it is too short!

Write longer articles (600 +) whenever. Many Internet Marketers have found great success in using articles that are longer than 600 words. These "long tail" articles are great at getting the search engine and spiders attention. It can be easy to request your copy to be a bit longer from your copywriter when you order it, or if you are writing it yourself simply to write a bit longer. A good practice is to try some long tail articles or copy and see how successful they are for you, notice the hits you are receiving on those particular pages. This will help you gauge your success rate.

Many have been successful at organic SEO without knowing what this was, before it even had a name. These people simply created websites they were passionate about, with top-quality information. They wanted to entertain and inform visitors. They genuinely wanted their website visitor to return to their website. That is at the true heart of organic SEO: pleasing your visitors one by one.

Organic SEO should not be difficult. As a matter of fact, it should be quite straight-forward and very logical. When creating something for your organic SEO purposes, if your first thought is "would a visitor appreciate this at our website?" you know you are on the right track. Always keep the visitors' enjoyment and appreciation well in mind, and your organic SEO success will be along right behind it!

Why Organic SEO is Superior to Sponsored SEO Results and Listings

One of the buzzwords in search engine optimization at the moment is "organic SEO". Look at any SEO service or content provider and 9 times out of 10 they'll say that they only use organic SEO methods to improve your website's ranking - I should know, since it's one of the mottos of my company! So what is organic SEO and why is it so important?

Simply put, organic SEO is the type of website optimization that offers natural results from search engines. When you go to a search engine like Google or Yahoo and you type in the keyword or phrase that you're looking for, there are normally two kinds of results that pop up - sponsored listings and organic SEO.

Sponsored listings are the ones that you see either at the top, bottom or right hand side of the search engine page whenever the result of a search pops up. These are normally company or business names in their own boxes, ans are a result of that company paying Google, Yahoo and the other search engines to place them on the front page for a certain keyword search.

The problem with sponsored SEO is that unless you have a fairly large ongoing budget, you'll soon run out of advertising space. Additionally, the majority of people look at the top 10 results for the keyword they used - otherwise known as organic SEO. This pretty much negates the need for sponsored listing.

The benefits of organic SEO over sponsored listings are numerous. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Less expensive than sponsored listings
  • Offers a true measure of your search engine optimization success
  • Organic SEO can be more easily managed than sponsored listings
Another benefit of organic SEO is that since any visitor coming to your website from an organic SEO result is doing so because they have found your specific service, there is more chance of a sale or call-to-action. After all, whereas a sponsored listing may just mention a business that sells bananas, your company may sell dessert baby bananas - therefore anyone typing that into a search engine will come to your site, as long as the content is optimized for SEO. This is what organic SEO offers.

As long as Google and other search engines continue changing how their search engine results work, webmasters and companies will need to keep on top of their website optimization.

If there is no description tag, search engines will take the first few lines and declare them as a description, which may prove futile. You will have to give a brief description of your page in the Meta description tag and include significant information in the beginning of the paragraph. This is important because search engines grabs the initial 200 characters and displays them in the SERPS.
