3. CubeStat.com : This website focuses on deep website notes like meta info and meta tags on which basis their value.

There are many website like these which can be searched here. But these are the best one.

Branding your blog means giving your blog a unique identity so that your readers always remember it. For this you can just contact any professional web-programmer or a company to design your own unique blog theme for hundreds or even thousands of dollars; or you can customize any free or cheap blog template to make it your very own. But there may be many bloggers who are already using that free or cheap template.

Starting It:

• Firstly search for any template that suits your niche and that can be customized to the maximum content. It doesn’t matter how many people are already using it as the concept here is to customize it to such a level that it becomes unique.
• Design your own header image or a logo. If you are not an expert in Photoshop you can hire any professional designer on webmaster forums for very cheap price. If you decide to get you logo designed, you can also use this as your favicon. This way you will build your own brand and people will start remembering you and your blog. Make sure your logo reflects your personality or your blog’s uniqueness.
• Try to include an About Me section somewhere on the blog with your photo. This will tell people that there really is someone behind the blog who cares to write for his readers, and that is you my friend.
• Write some pillar articles. These articles will not only increase your authority and traffic but also will remind people why they should return to your blog and how much important information they will get from you. Ultimately you will build your own brand telling people what you write about.
• Try to keep the language you use on your blog just the same as you use in your daily life, be a little casual and remind your readers that you are their friend.
• Make sure navigating through different pages in your site is easy and that your site contains About, Contact, FAQ and similar pages.

I mean, it is not necessary you use costly or very beautiful themes, but what matters is that your site should be user friendly and your readers should remember you.

• Business.com was sold for $8 millions.
• AsSeenOnTv.com sold for $5.1 million.
• Altavista.com – $3.3 million.
• Wine.com – $2.9 million.
• Autos.com – $2.2 million.

Phew!! This list is endless. And so many millions .
So here is what you can do:

• Think of a premium domain.
• Buy it from a good domain registrar.

There are many domain companies out there like Namecheap, Godaddy, Name, Register and Yahoo. However I would suggest Namecheap.

Next is listing your domain on several websites for the purpose of selling. Sedo, Sitepoint, Dnforum, Dnjournal, Namepros, etc are some websites where you can list your domains for sale.

Next, till your domain is sold, you can park your domain after registering with a domain parking company. This means whenever someone comes on to the domain you have bought he will be shown a simple web page with some ads on it. So you will get some revenue from it. Namedrive, Sedo, Whypark, Traffic Parking, Skenzo, Domainsponsor, Goldkey, etc are some domain parking companies.

So let’s get started.

Because it is something that will attract many advertisers to your site. Many advertisers consider alexa ranking for advertising on a blog. Many ad networks also consider alexa ranking when estimating a site’s capabilities. Not only this but, if you have a good alexa ranking then this will certainly impress your readers. So here are the easy steps I take to increase alexa ranking of my sites.

1. First of all, if you use firefox, you must install a good addon so that you can find your alexa ranking anytime. A good addon can be Search Status that not only tells you the alexa ranking but also the page rank of the site(page). Or else if you use I.E then install alexa toolbar.
2. If you have completed the first step you can set your blog as the home page of your browser.
3. Next, if there is any cyber cafe near, just make the administrator set the homepage of all the computers’ browsers as your blog. Or you could do this in your office. The concept is you have to set your blog as the homepage in as many computers as possible.
4. Increase traffic to your blog. That is what alexa is all about. So anywhere you respond to the articles, like in forums or blogs, just place the URL of any related article from your blog there in the comments. This will you will attract many visitors since your article is related to the article they are already reading. They will surely want to gain some extra knowledge.
5. Show off your alexa ranking on your blog through the alexa rank widget.
6. Through your blog suggest your readers to install the alexa toolbar. Doing this can surely increase your ranking because these readers will come again and again to your site. So if they have alexa toolbar your ranking will only go up.
7. Also do write about alexa on your site, even I am doing this right now.
8. Another way is using alexa autosurf programs. I do not recommend them but many webmasters say it works so you can just give it a try. But don’t forget I don’t recommend this.

So these are the steps I take to increase my alexa ranking. What else do you do.

So what are wordpress templates that you like?

• First of all you can do link exchanges with other bloggers. This will not only increase your blog’s traffic but also your page rank and not to forget, your technorati authority.
• Next you can recommend each other on each other’s blogs through your articles. In short, you can write each other’s blog’s review. Since you have blogs in the same niche, your readers will only love to know about another blog that hold their interest.
• You can also, as a team, write articles on each other’s blogs. So if the other blogger writes an article on your blog you will get more content. And if you write on other’s blog, you will get more readers and backlinks for free.
• Another thing, when you team up with others, you get to know more facts about your niche. See its a Joint Venture. In the blogosphere, one and one is eleven.

If you have any suggestions about Joint Ventures in the blogosphere please share them with us.

• The Direct Method: You can try to summarize your whole post in just a small sentence including the main keywords of the post. This way you not only, automatically get a good SEOptimised permalink but also tell your readers beforehand what they will get by reading your post. This technique is used by most bloggers so lets move on to some lesser known facts.
• My Method: Today I am going to share with you a very good and 100% effective idea(seriously). Something that I have been using to get a very good click through rate from the search results of Google. O.K say you are writing about how to design header images. Now your title should be something like: How I Design My Header Images. Do you get the idea; Try to bring the fact to the people how you do something. Believe me it works great.
• Learning From Others – Method: So you went to a site, saw a very good post title and started reading the post and read it till the end. Now just think for a moment how that title was written that brought you till the very end of that post. There must be something that attracted you to read that whole post. I am sure if you have read this article till now, there must be something that attracted you; that thing, was my friend, a good post title “Little Known Facts About Creating Effective Post Titles“.
• There are more articles on the internet that you can read to know how to create effective titles. Here is an article written by Copyblogger for Creating good post titles.

Hey, I have told you whatever I knew about writing good titles. This work surely deserves a digg, isn’t it? Sp please..

Then there is only one solution, and that is to add nofollow attribute to the links of advertisers. There are many other examples where you can add nofollow like when you are having reciprocal links. Having reciprocal links with dofollow can surely damage your ranking. So how to add nofollow.

• First, decide which links you want to add with nofollow.
• In the HTML section( or the code of your blog) find the link, it should look something like this:
  <a href=”http://www.blogoninja.com”>Blog-o-Ninja</a>
• In this code just add rel=”nofollow” so that the code looks like this:
  <a href=”http://blogoninja.com” rel=”nofollow”>Blog-o-Ninja</a>

That’s it; whichever link you think Google should not consider, just edit its link the example above. Its that simple. And then you can rest assured that no link on your blog will harm your blog.

• Comment on related niche “big blogs” that have a top commentators widget. Why Because if you regularly comment on these blogs you will get included in their Top Commentators widget which is a dofollow backlink. So make a list of some big blogs that are related to your niche and have a Top Commentators widget. Regularly comment on these blogs. Doing this will never remove your link from their page rank >4 blogs. One more thing, this will also create your relationship with that blogger who runs that big blog.
• Link Baiting means creating some product that has your link somewhere in it and then distributing it to others so that the more people use it the more backlinks you get. The most common form of link baiting is to create your own blog templates. What’s the need to create templates? Let me tell you. For example you have created a blogger template. Now include your blog’s link in it. Then distribute it through your own blog or other blog and forums. So now if some people use your template on their blogs, your link will already be on their blogs. This way you can create 100s of links with just 1 day of hardwork. In fact I am soon going to release my templates.
• One more trick that is being used by many Entrecarders now is to sponsor or hold a contest. If you hold a contest on your blog then you can ask your contestants to write about your blog or about that contest. So now your contestants will write about your blog on their blogs with probably at least 2 to 3 links. So you’re getting so many backlinks from so many blogs. Or you can also sponsor the contests being held on other blogs. This way also your link will be shown as sponsor’s link on the articles of the contestants’ blogs.

The plugin is One Click Installer designed by Anirudh Sanjeev. And thanks to him, from then on I have successfully added different themes and plugins to my blog without having to upload them. Because this plugin automatically uploads the templates and plugins from our computer. It can also directly upload the template(or plugin) from another website. And seriously, I have never have faced any problem with the plugin. The only thing it wants is that the template should be a zipped file. And the best part is it also has its own Firefox addon. I really recommend everyone to check this plugin out for once. Go now to the plugin’s homepage at One Click Installer
