Google Testing A New Label For Slow Websites In Search Results

Site load speed was all the rage a few years ago, and was considered as a plus point. In fact, it became an important search ranking factor in 2010. But what about all the SEO developments over the years? The paradigm must have shifted? Well, it sure has, onto content quality and usability. So should you still focus on a fast load speed, or will an average speed do the job?

Over the years, Google has released and perfected many pagespeed tools to help analyze and improve your page load speed. Fast loading websites lead to higher visitor engagement, retention and conversions. The first 3 seconds are extremely important for a website to retain a visitor.  The more visitors leave your blog, the higher your bounce rate grows and the lesser your ad impressions.

Now, it has become more important than ever to have a decent loading time. Google is currently testing out a new red-colored label within search results for slow-loading websites. This red label will indicate when a particular webpage is slow to load, thereby warning the users before they click over to that site.

Check out an image of search results below.

Note that this update is currently limited to the mobile version of search. If that remains the case, then mobile optimization could play a part here. Even if a website is loading fast on desktop, it may not necessarily be set up to load equally fast on a mobile device, and vice-versa.

First, let us look at the simplest scenario. If your website contains graphics, blocking scripts and heavy media content, it is bound to slow down the page. Such a page will be labelled anyway. However, even if that isn't the case, it could be that your website is not configured to handle mobile properly. In the wake of responsive design, too many extra scripts can weigh down the processor on a mobile, thus slowing down the loading speed.

So while you are being mindful of this notorious label (which, by the way, is still being tested), always consider the above two possibilities. If you need help speeding up your website, we have a lot of reference material to help you along. Just follow the link given below.

Good luck (:

How To Write A Powerful Blog Post

You already know that blogs and sites are popular and you should have one. But do you have any idea what make a blog and a blog post great?

I am sure you have heard about having a great, meaningful and educational content or a good blog design but that's not enough. There must be something more to write a post that get more visitors and do more than other posts. Well, there are many factors that have a great affect on your post and these factors decide whether the post will be one of your blog's popular post or no. I will show you these factors in this post and after following this post you will get all of your audience on the post which you write first after reading this post.

In order to show you how to create a powerful post to get more traffic, I will show each factor one by one. So lets go!

You might also like reading: Tips to attract more visitors to your blog.

Interest grabbing title:

The first step of writing a powerful blog post is to write an interesting title. The title you write should be something which emphasize and attract visitors to read your post. For example if you have a post about writing an seo friendly post then you should have a title "7 things to take care of while writing a post in blogger for seo" isn't it interesting? so it will grab interest of your audience and the visitors will read every post which have a title similar to it(interesting).


Include Photos and graphs:

Articles with images and graphs get 94%  more views as compared to articles without images. Photos and graphs get interest of visitors and also helps them to understand the article more properly. Try to add images and graphs having information absorbed in them. You can also use image ads in between posts and increase interest of visitors and also increase your blog revenue.


Use clean and simple design:

Clean and simple design is a very important factor, too much ads and a congested post isn't liked by anyone and use of social bars that floats over a visitor's head also frustrates him especially Facebook pop-up box and E-mail subscription pop-up box, so keep a simple design and let visitors read your blog without loosing temper. Also optimize your blog for desktop, mobiles and tablets.

Have a unique voice:

By unique voice I mean a unique content but it must be meaningful and educational. You have to think about it before starting a new blog(you must have a category that people search more frequently). Use easy sentences and keep focus on the topic of post, don't get away from the topic in order to increase your blog text. Use simple words and write your post in such a manner that a beginner could understand it easily, While writing a post suppose that you are a beginner and trying to learn something.

Video presentation: 

Insert videos in your posts. 95% people prefer watching videos despite of reading posts. If you have tutorials blog its the best way for you to get more visitors and also increase your Youtube audience. You can monetize ads on your video and can earn a revenue also. Videos helps you to keep people active because posts with only text becomes boring. If you don't have your own channel you can share others videos, it will not generate revenue for you but it will engage more people to your post.


Connect with social media:

Stay in touch with your visitors, if they have any question or opinion they can share them with you by comments or social networks. It makes them feel like you are there to help them out and hence increases their interest in your blog posts. So always be in a conservation with your visitors and get their interest in your posts as well as in your blog.


Go against the grain:


Controversial posts get a lot of links from people refuting your information. It also creates engagement with the visitors. Also use light colors in your blog and try to write in such a way that readers take interest in your posts. You can relate one post with other just like I have done in this post above. It will not only increase your visitors interest but also helps you to optimize your blog posts for seo and increase your posts page views.

Make Conversation:

Making conversation with your visitors will help them to share there ideas and problems with you. I will make your blog's reputation and you can increase your fans by making conversation with them. Blogs with comments are trusted by everyone and conversation grabs visitors interest also. In most of the blogs people read the comments of others to know if the post is meaningful or no because they don't like to read long posts so they just read comments as the post summery. So its very beneficial to make conversation with your visitors for you are and your visitors. So ask them for feedback, recommendations etc. Moreover it will keep visitors for longer on your blog.

Blogger Will Now Automatically Create Sitemap.xml File For All Blogs

There's big news with regards to sitemap files in Blogger. If you have a blog running on Google's Blogger platform, you no longer need to worry about creating and maintaining a custom sitemap and then submitting it to search engines. Google will now automatically create a sitemap file in your root directory, eliminating the need for third-party sitemap services on Blogger.

A good, high-quality sitemap is an integral part of search engine optimization. It offers a really simple way for site owners to share information with every search engine about the content they have on their site instead of having to rely solely on crawling algorithms.

Blogger limitations

Many Content Management Systems such as WordPress let you easily create a sitemap with either native or third-party support. This includes Blogger as well.

Blogger, as you might know, is pretty limited. Blogger users can not access the root directory of their blog. Their content remains hosted at Google even if they have a custom domain. The ftp directory your web hosts creates can allow you to only host files at sub-domains, and if you try hosting files at the root directory, Blogger will return a 404 error.

As a consequence, the only good way of submitting a sitemap for Blogger was to submit an RSS or Atom feed, since it does almost the same thing and is in xml format as well.

Automatic sitemaps

There is good news though. You no longer need to do all that to submit a sitemap. Google will now automatically create a sitemap for your Blogger blog, and that too on your root directory. You can view it at http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml (e.g. http://www.mybloggertricks.com/sitemap.xml)

Not only that, the sitemap file further contains links to pages like:

• http://www.mybloggertricks.com/sitemap.xml?page=1


• http://www.mybloggertricks.com/sitemap.xml?page=2


• http://www.mybloggertricks.com/sitemap.xml?page=3

I think this is a very welcome step, and I hope the Blogger teams will provide customization options as well for the sitemap. If you have any questions, or want to participate in the discussion, then please feel free to join us on our discussion form where we talk about creating a sitemap for Blogger.

Good luck (:

How To Use Robots Text For Better Seo In Blogger

Robots text plays a main role in a blog's seo. With robots text we actually indicate search engines robots how to crawl our blogs and how to index it. Robots text is not the meta robot tag codes, its a text which is added in a blogs settings option which helps us to tell robots which pages to crawl and index and which do not. Previously I have created a post in which I have told how to add custom robot text in blogger, if you have already added robots text in your blog then you don't need to read that post but if you haven't added robots text in your blog yet then your first task is to read that post and after adding robots text in your blog you can follow this post to use robots text in proper way. In this post I will tell you how to allow or disallow robots to index pages or labels in search results.

Recommended: How to set custom robots header tags for better seo in blogger.

Allowing or disallowing labels in search results:

I am starting from allowing or disallowing robots to index or crawl labels/categories of your blog e.g in-case of my blog Seo, Menus and Blogging etc. So first of all go to Blogger Dashboard > Settings > Search preferences > Crawlers and indexing > Custom robots.text and edit it. For instance see below image:

If you have read my post about adding custom robots text then your robots text will be similar to below code:

User-agent: Mediapartners-GoogleDisallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: http://Yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=UPDATED

In the about code I have added /search beside Disallow so now robots will not index any of your category, if your blog have sitelinks in search results and you wish to show only categories of your blog then remove /search and you are done!

How does it work?

It works in a very simple way how? lets see an example of link of a category opened in browser for details to learn how does it work. See below image:

In the above example I have opened my Seo label in browser, you can see the highlighted part of link, it lies in every category so to block a label in search results you have to add /search beside disallow. On more thing about adding /search is that is not only blocks labels to be indexed in results but also any queries made for search in blog is also not allowed to be indexed because if you take a look of link of a query made in blog it also has the same text(/search). See example below:

In the above example 101helper is a query made for search, so if you wish to block only labels and not the search queries you could you /label instead of /search. It is the proper way to block only labels.

Allowing or disallowing pages in search results:

Now a days every blog has pages like contact, about, copyright, sitemap etc, but nobody want to index pages like contact, about and copyright I am not sure about Sitemap :p. The reason not to index contact and about pages is they aren't useful for visitors and aren't interesting too so now you can control robots to index your pages or no but keep one thing in mind that you can't control a specific page to be indexed or not so if you add /p in front of Disallow: then every page of your blog won't be indexed. See example of link of a blogger page:

  

You can use Robots text tester in Google webmaster tools while making any changes in your blog's robots text. So you can see a live preview of your blog's robot text at Google webmaster tools > Crawl > robots.txt tester and can test every url of your blog after making any changes as if it is allowed by robots or not. See an example of page blocked by Google robots in below image:

If you wish to block all pages in search results just add /p in front of Disallow:. It will block only contact, about, sitemap, privacy policy etc pages not posts. You can't block or allow a specific page of your blog to be indexed or not.

Blocking both pages and labels in search results:

If you want to block both pages and categories/labels the your robots text should look like below code:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google

User-agent: *

Disallow: /p

Disallow: /search

Allow: /

Sitemap: http://101helper.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=UPDATED

the above code specifies not to index a link having /p or /search. So now robots won't index any label or pages.

Allowing all pages, labels and Homepage to indexed in search results:

If you are desired to index all of your blog pages, labels, homepages, post pages etc use below code as your blog's robots text. 

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google

User-agent: *

Disallow:

Allow: /

Sitemap: http://101helper.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=UPDATED

The above code tells robots to index all pages, labels posts, homepage etc.

Final words:

You can use robots text for blocking posts published in a specific year(you can block posts published in a same year). Robots text plays a vital role in a blogs seo. Use robots text carefully or else you can loose all of your blog traffic.

How To Get Your Content Displayed In Google Quick Answer Box?

Google's Quick Answer box - while useful for the casual searcher, creates a lot of challenges for webmasters. On the one hand, if your content is used by the Quick Answer box, you get prominence. But at the same time, if users can get their questions answered on the SERPs, why would they click through to your site, right? Their utility is debatable. Today, however, we will talk about how to get your content displayed on Google's Quick Answer box.

The Google Knowledge Graph is what powers certain components on a search results page, and the quick answers box is just one of those components. Semantic markup, like that provided by Schema.org, is just one way to help communicate what’s on a page to search engines. According to Schema.org;

On-page markup enables search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results in order to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web. Markup can also enable new tools and applications that make use of the structure.

Getting featured in Google Knowledge Graph

Here are some things that can help you get featured in Google Knowledge Graph. 

• Implement structured data on your website


• Use nouns (i.e., entities) in your writing when it’s natural to do so


• Link to relevant sites


• Get featured in Wikipedia

Wikipedia is an example of data organization done right - the way Google likes to use. Google likes organized, easily accessible data. That’s why merging everything you know about SEO best practices with useful content and structured data can help you show up in Knowledge Graph-powered results.

Here are some tips for optimizing for the answer box.

• Select a topic that’s interesting for your users


• Create quality content relevant to the theme (use “buyer persona” studies, focus groups, and engagement analytics to determine the content mix)


• Structure the page with user experience in mind


• Where relevant, clearly define a how-to list, including the phrase “how to” in content and bullet points clearly present answers


• Implement SEO practices like basic on-page optimization, theme-relevant cross-linking and technical SEO tactics

This is still a new feature, and optimizing for the Knowledge Graph in general is still fairly novel for many, We'll be sharing in-depth articles about optimizing for the Knowledge Graph. One I'd particularly like to talk about is Wikipedia and its importance for ranking well on Google. So stay tuned for some really useful posts :)

How To Fix Your Website When It Gets Hacked?

It's not uncommon for sites - even large ones with lots of protection - to get hacked. Security is a major problem these days. And if your site gets hacked, it can get damaged in a number of ways. You could lose all your data, or lose its ranking due to malicious activity. So while you can take periodic backups, you cannot prevent someone from hacking into your site. The best and most practical thing to do in such an event is to recover your site as fast as possible so that the effect of the attack is neutralized/minimized.

Here are some tips shared by Google for getting your website back on track after it has been hacked.

Clean up malicious scripts

Hackers can target your site for any number of motives. From taking down your website and deleting its content to simply adding backlinks discreetly, there's a lot that can be done. If you notice suspicious content appearing on your website, delete those unnecessary pages immediately. However, don't just stop there.

Hackers will often insert malicious scripts into your HTML and PHP files. These could automatically be creating rogue backlinks or even new pages. Make sure you check your website's source code and see for any malicious PHP or JavaScript code that could be creating such content.

Maintain your CMS

Websites often get hacked due to vulnerabilities in a CMS that get patched with updates. If you're running an older version, your site is more susceptible to attack. Make sure you keep your CMS updated, and use a strong password for login. If possible, enable two-step verification to secure the login process.

www vs. non-www

www and non-www URLs are not the same. http://www.example.com is not the same as http://example.com - the former refers to a sub-domain 'www', whereas the latter is the root of your site. When checking for malicious content, verify the non-www version of your site as hackers often try to hide content in folders that may be overlooked by the webmaster

Other useful security tips

• Avoid using FTP when transferring files to your servers. FTP does not encrypt any traffic, including passwords. Instead, use SFTP, which will encrypt everything, including your password, as a protection against eavesdroppers examining network traffic.


• Check the permissions on sensitive files like .htaccess. Your hosting provider may be able to assist you if you need help. The .htaccess file can be used to improve and protect your site, but it can also be used for malicious hacks if they are able to gain access to it.


• Be vigilant and look for new and unfamiliar users in your administrative panel and any other place where there may be users that can modify your site.

Got any questions? Feel free to leave a new thread in our discussion forum. You can read the post from Google along with a couple case studies here. Good luck (:

Google Labelled Your Site As Hacked? Here's How To Fix It

Is your website being falsely labelled in search results as a 'hacked' website even though there's nothing wrong with it? There isn't cause for concern, because it might not be something 'hidden' that you apparently can't detect. Google is reportedly working on a new hacked page classifier, and as a result, a number of websites are getting incorrectly marked as 'hacked' in search results.

This was acknowledged by Google's John Mueller on Google+.

We're slowly rolling out a new hacked page classifier and noticed a small number of misclassifications. We're sorry for any trouble this may have caused -- we are working on addressing the issues.

Obviously, this is a very serious problem, because nobody in their right mind would visit a hacked or malicious website intentionally, right? So if your website has been effected, here's what you do.

How to tell when your website is effected?

First, do a quick search for your site and see if a line of blue text appears underneath the title tag reading “This site may be hacked.” If you don’t see that line, you’re good. If you do see that line, and you’re certain your site is not hacked, here’s what you can do to fix it.

Fixing the problem

All you have to do is, fill out a Google docs form for misclassification of your website. The link is given below.

• Google docs form for misclassified websites

One you fill it out, someone at Google will review it and remove the label if your site is in fact safe. It is not clear how long you’d have to wait before Google removes the label on your site, but hopefully they are quick about it.

Mueller recommends getting someone who is experienced in working with hacked sites to double-check whether or not your site is really hacked, because that’s a whole other issue you’ll need to deal with.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to create a new thread in our help forum, and we'll try to help you our over there. Leave your responses in the comments section below.
