Limit The Number Of Posts On Your Blog

When you manage a blog site that is totally under your control of micro-management. Controlling your content is a pretty easy job. My site is an example of a site that is under extreme micro-management. I know where every link goes to and who I am linking to. This is important to know…

An added tip towards controlling your content is building bigger highways to your pages for Google.

How do you do that?

Easy. Reduce the amount of posts that are displayed per page.

WHY?

Most blogs… including mine go into /page2 and /page3 etc… If you are displaying 5 posts per page, when people view the next page, the URL is /page2 etc…

If you limit the amount of posts per page, you give Google a better chance at giving your site a Deeper Index into your pages.

My site lists two posts per page. and Each page is under 100 URL’s. Doing this assures that Google indexes every page that is linked to the current indexed page.

By limiting the amount of posts per page I am basically controlling and directing the Googlebots on where to travel to.

In road construction, workers can guide traffic in and around areas that are being worked on. And by limited the amount of posts you display on your blog, you basically tell the Googlebots where to go.

Where are they going?

The Googlebots are going right down your main artery of your blog. The main artery has many branches and veins (categories and tagged pages) that link to your actual content.

If you closely control and direct the Googlebots to travel on down the paths you want them to, ultimately you are giving your site the best depth in indexing available.

My site displays two posts per page. Each page is as close to 100 URL’s as possible.

Bubble Gum SEO Links Volume One

This is a photo of Double Bubble brand chewing gum. How do you learn more about search engine optimization (SEO)? The same way I am. Searching for it. Reading about it. Learning it. Information on learning how to optimize your site for the search engines isn’t hidden in a box under lock and key. The information available and the content that talks about SEO is almost as over saturated as porn. Bubble Gum SEO Links is a small publication I will be releasing on a regular basis for bloggers, site owners, and publishers who are interested in finding search engine optimization tips and tricks.

This is the first of many volume editions I will be releasing. I want you to understand and trust that I really want to help you become successful blogging. I am the only author on this site and there is only 24 hours in a day. I feel that there is no way possible I can teach you everything there is about search engine optimization. Everything I write about here on the site, I do myself and it works great. In other words, I practice what I preach. But there is so much more in the world of search engine optimization. More that one person can explain. Literally, there are thousands of people just like me… people who want to help. (Or at least I hope so!)

I have mentioned this in the past… being successful blogging means a million things. Some people feel successful blogging means making a lot of money. Some people feel successful blogging means getting tons of RSS feed subscribers. There are tons of reasons why you can consider yourself a successful blogger. My success being a blogger is knowing that I am helping people become successful blogging. If you want to make money, I can show you how. If you want your pages listed well in Google’s search engine result pages (GSERPS) I can teach you how. My job is to help people to become successful at blogging. Regardless of what your blogging goals are, in most cases SEO ties into your personal success. That is why I offer so much advise on this topic.

Bubble Gum SEO Links are references that I have personally hand picked and found to have a superior level of quality and effectiveness towards optimizing a site for search engines. At the moment I am not sure how often I will be releasing new volumes of Bubble Gum SEO Links, but I am shooting for once a week.

Googletising and Googletisments Exchange

What is Googletising and what are Googletisments?

Answer: Googletisements are advertisements found on another site created for the sole purpose of helping the the advertiser improve Google Search Engine Optimization (GSEO) and increase their Google Search Engine Marketing (GSEM).

The advertisement is sold in interest of optimizing and increasing Google search engine traffic to the advertisers site. A Googletisement is geared for SEO and SEM. There is little or no set expectation of the amount traffic driven locally from the site the Googletisement is being displayed.

Googletising and Googletisments is a unique method for helping bloggers in the blogosphere improve their visibility in Google search engine results page (GSEO). I am a mid 90’s old school WWW junkie. The concept of this idea was inspired from back in the day when banner and advertisement exchanges were popular. Typically when you participated in a program like this, you would create your banner or text advertisement and submit it for inclusion into an advertisement pool. Your advertisement would be displayed only after you inserted special HTML code into your site which would allow your site to display randomly the ads that were included into the pool. Additionally there would usually be an impression ratio. For every advertisement you display on your site, you receive x amount of guaranteed impressions on your advertisements. Googletising and Googletisements are very similar, only difference is each Googletisement that is being Googletised within the Googletisment pool will be created by me! In the next day or so, I will be launching the official site of Googletising and Googletisements. This will be a free network for bloggers in the blogosphere to join. Updates and more information will be published soon.
