Looking Beyond Google PageRank: Alternative SEO Metrics When it comes to SEO, Google’s PageRank (PR), which is the most used SEO ranking metric, is vague and unhelpful. Although most SEOs would agree that it’s an indication of a page’s popularity (or power), it’s unclear why that’s so or exactly how popular a ranked website is. For example, for a website with a PR of 7 — and as a point of reference, this website has a PR of 6 — most people would assume it’s a popular, and thus powerful, website. But that’s not always the case, and there are quite a lot of exceptions. Issues with Using PageRank as an SEO Metric There are many problems with using PageRank as a measure of how popular and search engine-friendly a website is. The current PR value for a website could be based on data that’s anywhere from a day to a year old, so it’s not indicative of the website’s current search engine-friendliness. Because PR is presumably logarithmic, two websites that have the same PageRank are likely to be miles apart when it comes to ranking power. Domain Trust
Gipi Gipi es uno de esos autores que no se parecen en nada a la mayoría de los autores. Gipi es una enorme bola de reflexiones cuesta abajo, una bola que se hace más y más grande a medida que desciende por la ladera de la creatividad, imparable, chocando contra todo, destrozando lo que encuentra a su paso y quién sabe si también a él mismo. Las obras de italiano Gianni Pacinotti, más conocido por el seudónimo de Gipi, que nació en Pisa en 1963, son como cuadernos de apuntes. Como esas libretas que los dibujantes o los escritores (o los que son ambas cosas y hacen cómics) llevan en en bolsillo, donde apuntan incansablemente aquello que ven, aquello con lo que se topan en su caminar. Su mundo. Gipi esboza con la maestría de su trazo los personajes de sus historias, los paisajes en los que estos se desenvuelven. Author: Diego Omil Pontevedra 1988.
5 Common Blogging Problems, and How to Overcome Them Blogging provides anyone with the opportunity to publish content and the potential to make money. Because of this, there are hundreds or thousands of new blogs launched every day. Unfortunately, there are some significant challenges that most new bloggers face, and in many cases the challenges are significant enough to lead the blogger to give up. In this post we’ll look at five problems that many bloggers face, especially in the early days of their blog, and we’ll also look at some ways that these problems can be overcome.

Leave Comments on Other Blogs When I started blogging one of the most effective ways of building an audience and attracting comments was to leave comments on other blogs.

Blogging Bloggers typically dedicate a lot of thought and effort into topics that should be covered with their upcoming posts, and rightfully so, but older posts are often quickly forgotten both by the blogger and by readers. As a blog continues to publish new content the archives will grow larger and larger, and for many blogs the archives include a wealth of information and content that is not being maximized. For most blogs, posts from the archives can continue to be useful for years to come (of course, this depends on the specific content of the post) if they are actually seen by visitors. The archives can be helpful for a number of different purposes, including attracting new subscribers, building a newsletter list, selling products, promoting your own services, promoting affiliate products, selling advertising, and more. If your blog has been around for a while, chances are you have archives that could be doing more for you, and helping more readers at the same time. 1. 2.
