A) Blogging page no different from a website page.<\/u>
\nMany Bloggers believe that posting blogs regularly is the best and only way to get the blog promotion. While posting a blog entry they forget that the resulting page will be no different than the html and PHP webpages they used to create for their website. The basic SEO<\/a> rules for the blog page is same for a page created in html or asp or any other language. It is therefore necessary to give importance to tags and links while making a blog entry<\/strong>. Example:
\n-Keep the title small. Make sure it includes the keyword you think your users will use while make a search.
\n-Use and tags to your keyword in the page.
\n-Make sure you use well anchored text with keyword and that no links go to a 404 page not found. If a page is not available, make sure that the 404 goes to sitemap page or notifies user of the problem.
\n-Make the content rich and big in size (do not keep it small) and make sure that there is no keyword spam in the blog entry.
\n-Use links to post on blogs on your website. Also allow the search facility so that users can search the blog from your website.<\/p>\n

Note that the only advantage of a Blog over a simple page is that the blog will get indexed faster.<\/p>\n

B) Blogging and pinging.<\/u>
\nTo get the best out of your blog you need to\u00a0blog regularly<\/em>. Make a schedule and try to stick to it. It is best to Blog every day with fresh and rich content to get visitors rushing to your site. Although it is best advised to blog on a daily basis it should be noted that blogging stale 5-line content will not help you in any way. It is therefore better that you are Blogging 2-3 time a week with new and rich content with properly formatted html.
\nIf you are using a script like Blogger.com for blogging, make sure that you are pinging sites. This will tell them that your blog has been updated.
\nYou may also ping sites manually. Below is the list of sites you can ping:
\nhttp:\/\/api.feedster.com\/ping
\nhttp:\/\/api.moreover.com\/RPC2
\nhttp:\/\/api.moreover.com\/ping
\nhttp:\/\/api.my.yahoo.com\/RPC2
\nhttp:\/\/api.my.yahoo.com\/rss\/ping
\nhttp:\/\/www.bitacoles.net\/ping.php
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogdigger.com\/RPC2
\nhttp:\/\/blogmatcher.com\/u.php
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogoole.com\/ping\/
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogoon.net\/ping\/
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogpeople.net\/servlet\/weblogUpdates
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogroots.com\/tb_populi.blog?id=1
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogshares.com\/rpc.php
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogsnow.com\/ping
\nhttp:\/\/www.blogstreet.com\/xrbin\/xmlrpc.cgi
\nhttp:\/\/bulkfeeds.net\/rpc
\nhttp:\/\/coreblog.org\/ping\/
\nhttp:\/\/www.lasermemory.com\/lsrpc\/
\nhttp:\/\/www.newsisfree.com\/xmlrpctest.php
\nhttp:\/\/ping.amagle.com\/
\nhttp:\/\/ping.bitacoras.com
\nhttp:\/\/ping.blo.gs\/
\nhttp:\/\/ping.feedburner.com
\nhttp:\/\/ping.rootblog.com\/rpc.php
\nhttp:\/\/ping.syndic8.com\/xmlrpc.php
\nhttp:\/\/ping.weblogalot.com\/rpc.php
\nhttp:\/\/www.popdex.com\/addsite.php
\nhttp:\/\/rcs.datashed.net\/RPC2\/
\nhttp:\/\/rpc.blogrolling.com\/pinger\/
\nhttp:\/\/rpc.pingomatic.com\/

\nhttp:\/\/www.snipsnap.org\/RPC2
\nhttp:\/\/topicexchange.com\/RPC2
\nhttp:\/\/www.weblogues.com\/RPC\/
\nhttp:\/\/xping.pubsub.com\/ping\/<\/p>\n

Note: If you are also using Pingomatic then make sure that you don\u2019t use the same sites already pinged through pingomatic.
\nIt is best advised to use auto pinging service (On each post) rather than manually pinging each and every site.<\/p>\n

C) Auto discovery<\/u>
\nThis meta tag will help the viewer\u2019s feed reader to auto discover the RSS feed URL and make it easier for him to add your feed. This will result in greater exposure to your feed.
\nlink rel=\u201dalternate\u201d type=\u201dapplication\/rss+xml\u201d title=\u201dRSS 2.0\u2033 href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.YourRssUrlHERE.com\/abc2.php\u201d \/
\nMake sure to put this in head tag. If you are using advanced script like WordPress then this is automatically created for you.<\/p>\n

An Example:
\nlink rel=\u201dalternate\u201d type=\u201dapplication\/rss+xml\u201d title=\u201dRSS Feed\u201d href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.YourDomain.com\/rssfile.xml\u201d \/
\nYou can replace the RSS file (rssfile.xml) with your blog\u2019s rss file. Example if your WordPress blog is at http:\/\/www.xyz.com\/blog then your RSS would be http:\/\/www.xyz.com\/blog\/wp-rss2.php and hence the Auto discovery file would be :
\nlink rel=\u201dalternate\u201d type=\u201dapplication\/rss+xml\u201d title=\u201dRSS Feed\u201d href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.xyz.com\/blog\/wp-rss2.php\u201d \/
\nMake sure this particular meta tag is in between your head tag of your blog.<\/p>\n

Note: You may also add it to your Non blog page which is displaying the RSS content. Utility available for this in software package.<\/p>\n
