Keyword rich content or Quality backlinks

Keyword rich content or Quality backlinks: 

I have seen many people arguing on this topic. Whether Keyword rich content is the best or Website with lots of backlinks? I am asking you same question. Which one is better?

Two weeks back there is an argument between two SEO experts. 1st SEO expert says Content with rich keywords is best. And 2nd SEO expert says Backlinks are enough to rank better ranking position in search engines.

My answer to them: Your job is to write Excellent content .That’s all.. Content is the prime source. Link building is the job which has been done by your content. If your content is good then many links points to your website. This is natural way of Link building. But… Remaining answer will be given at the end of this article.

 Keyword rich content:

There are many SEO webmasters who are having well experience with on page optimization. You know how to write Keyword rich content. You know how to optimize content. Yes I do agree without on page optimization our website can’t rank for higher search results, but will you guarantee that your website lasts for ever in better ranking position? No you can’t guarantee for this. There is a heavy competition between seo webmasters. If one is well optimizing his site and the other one is doing better optimization than him. On page optimization is nothing but Blogpost optimization and Post title optimization. That’s all. Nothing more than that. This is the thing everyone can do. Every webmaster knows that keyword frequency inside blogpost should maintain between 8-10% and they know How to optimize blogpost title. 

In my view there are two types of content writers. One is seo based content writer and the other one is Killer content writer. For example bluehatseo.com. I can surely say that he never optimize his blogpost and he never done seo for his site. Still he manages to get 1000′s of links per day. Even this website is getting link from wikipedia. I just want to say that if your website content is kings then dont worry about backlinks. Links automatically comes to you. SEO based content writer cannot hold better position than Killer content writer. He can hold only for few days or periods. But the website with killer content holds for life long.

Link building: 

I have seen in many websites saying Link building is necessary and it must for better search results. Yes I do agree with this statement. Link building is the backbone for our website. Link building is necessary for such kind of bloggers who writes normal posts like me, but not for Bluehatseo. There are much website like labnol, w3schools, seobook who doesn’t really require link building. Many links comes to them only because of their content. but Without link building websites like ours are nothing. For better ranking positions we need seo based content simultaneously with link building. This statement is for us. Once our website becomes popular then we can also stop link building. I just want to say content writers like us are require link building. Without link building how can we approach others that we have written some ‘x’ article?

For example many big companies like benz,suziki etc they never do publicity for their product. Every one knows about their product quality. These companies will get many reviews  free of cost. If benz is coming up with new product bbc and cnn will give free advertisement. But small and new extablish companies will need do publicity. If they feel that their product is not upto their mark then they need to focus on Marketing . I hope you guys have understood the major difference between Seo based content writing and killer content writing.

 Now my answer is: Content is always king. You don’t really need of seo if your website content is king. Natural and quality links will automatically comes to you. If you feel that your website content is not upto mark then you have to get into seo based content with good and quality link building strategy.

 If the argument between Keyword rich content and Quality backlines then my answer is : As a webmaster we need both Keyword rich content and quality backlinks for better ranking positions. 

 If the argument between Killer content and Link building then my answer is : If the content is really Killer then he need not to bother about link building. His content itself builds 1000′s of links without any man work.

How to start Monetizing with my blog?

How to start Monetizing with my blog ?Whether I should wait till I get sufficient visitors ?

Many new babies struck at this point. Whether monetizing at the beginning is a good approach or bad. Or shall they wait untill they get good audience first. There are many ways of monetizing with your website. If you are really want to monetize in a decent then feel free to checkout this post. One of my friends quoted me this question. He says :

Hey friend I have started website. Do you want me to keep ads in my website? How to start monetizing with my blog? Whether I should wait till I get sufficient visitors ? What should I do to monetize with my site?

  Well if you are at the beginning stage then my advice is to work hard till your website fills with sufficient visitors.

 When I was at the beginning stage I really don’t know anything about ads, monetizing, marketing etc. I kept Google ads more than 3 ad positions in my home page. I used to get 500 to 600 visitors per day. I thought this is my actual traffic. And my adsense revenue was between .5 to 1$. Later I removed all my ads from my website. As soon as I removed there was a sudden increment in my website traffic. I came to know Advertisement is the main cause which dropped my website traffic. Ads are developed with flash content. These ads are required high bandwidth. If your hosting provider is providing very less bandwidth then it takes much time to open a page. Your page should not create inconvenience for any visitor one who visits your website. If your page is taking much time for loading then he simply jumps to another website. 

 Do you know why Indians prefer Google rather than Yahoo and msn??

The main cause is Google takes very less time to open its home page when compared to yahoo and msn. Not only loading time, Google takes very less time in their search results. Because of this reason Indians feel comfortable with Google. Recently Google launched web browser name Google Chrome. Google chrome is the browser which really takes very less time to open pages when compared to other browsers. Google is really intelligent. Google’s main target is our Indian Market Am i right

 Well some people don’t take your website seriously. They just think that if you don’t have nice design and ads then your website is not upto their expectations. Few think that you are blogging just to make money. You can’t really satisfy each and everyone. Some one like attractive website and some like content based websites. You have to think in four directions.

My views:

• Don’t over design your website.
• Keep only few ads. There are many ways of monetizing.
• Work hard till your website reaches sufficient visitors and pagerank.
• How much you will be earning from 125×125 ad unit per month? Mostly 100$ or 150$. Am I right? Just think for a while, you are the second party advertiser. You are advertising google ads. Insted of being 2nd party why don’t you opt for 1st party? I want to say Instead of keeping Google ads you can keep paid links in your website. You can cost atleast 50$/month from each link and small ad unit. Well you can sell links up to extent. 
• Wait until your website becomes popular. After then you can keep as many ads you can. If your page is really good then your visitors wait until your page opens.

I am waiting about your views.

What google says about duplicate content?

What google says about duplicate content?

Duplicate content is the major problem to all webmasters. Many webmasters focus on this question -

Why google gives better ranking position for scraped and copied content than original source content??

For this question google has come up with helpful points on How to solve content thefts and How to solve for third party duplicate issues. Any webmaster has infulence and rights to tackle second party content theft but he has no influence on third parties that scrape and redistribute content without webmasters permission. Dont worry about that, google is  having very strong technology in place to track back the original webmasters content. The exact identification of the source for original content always saves from negative effects for the webmasters site.

Google checks your content source in two ways.

• Internal : Google crawls content pages that appears almost or identical content with in the website.
• External : Content which appears in 2nd or 3rd party websites with or without permission.

Well, if your website ranks next to the website who copied from you,Then you have to find the reason by yourself that why i am ranking below to copycat?. The reason maybe :

• Whether your page is being accessible by the web spiders or crawlers. You might be unintentionally have blocked access to parts  of your content in your robots.txt file.
• Google cache is the strong proof for us. If google crawls your website then if must be in google cache. If you cannot find google cache of your website then something wrong with your robots.txt.
• Check whether your site have passed all webmaster guidelines. If your page have crossed any limitations of webmaster guidelines then your page cannot be crawled.

I just want to say one thing to all webmasters is that there is no shortcut for work. I mean to say copycat never comes up with duplicate content. He may rank for 2 or 3 days but not always. Google just filters copied content.But it takes time to find out duplicate content. If your google cache is fine then dont worry about copycats. Just do your work.Duplicate content considered as a violation of webmaster guidelines. Google checks and solves each and everything.
