When we talk about ranks in search engines like Google or Bing with quality blogs and content we know, the roles of links is very important. Though people embark with excellent content development, they hardly know how to rank them in any search engine through creating quality links. Nowadays, guest blogging has become a very powerful tool in blogosphere which can be used to market the blogs. The best part of guest blogging is that it proves to be a great tool to build high quality backlinks to any blog. This article discusses about a few effective ways or tips of using this idea of guest blogging for building great back links for your blogs.

Look for related blogs as per your niche

If you want to yield the best bet from your guest blogging endeavor, you are required to build high quality backlinks and these come from the related Blogs. Rather than trying each and every blog, you need to find the relevant blogs as much as possible which is somewhere near to your niche or speak about the same issue which you do. If you fail to find any of these types of blog over the internet, then it’s time to try something in guest blogging. You are therefore required to develop or write contents for unrelated blogs, however, ensure that the content you have is unique in its spin and covers both the niches together. You have different ways of searching a relevant blog of your niche, and the best way of doing this is to use directories of blog like Technorati with the help of Google Blog search engine. You can also try things through the famous guest blogging community called MyBlogGuest.

Develop quality content

Content is the king. So once you find out the blog of your choice to contribute the articles, it’s important to create excellent contents. Avoid sending anything absurd or junk; rather, come up with high quality contents which can make the difference. Generally, people call this as an exercise of futility, since they are more interested in getting the backlinks. Any absurd content is likely to lose the page ranking by the search engines.

Optimizing your Bio

Once you discover the right blog and develop excellent content relevant to the readers, it’s the time to take the next step. Your next step would be to capitalize or reap the benefits from your bio. As your bio is the place where you can promote or advertise yourself and gain more quality backlinks. Therefore it’s time now you make use of your anchor text effectively. This will therefore increase your ranking in the search engine.

Final word

Traffic is something which is very important for any blogger. They thrive on traffic the more the traffic, the more the readers they will have for their blog. And without any traffic the content over the blog goes useless which eventually means no money at the end of the day. And this becomes possible by using the tactics of guest blogging and therefore building high quality backlinks. Building good backlinks through guest blogging has become a hotcake for many bloggers these days. They are experimenting around this idea and managing to improve their ranking in the popular search engines. So if you still find this concept new but want to improve your rankings in the search engines, don’t waste time, get up and explore this idea and pull more traffic through guest blogging.

Yes if you are a blogger, you blog, then you have to Tweet. Why? Lets see.

Bloggers use Twitter much more than does the general population. Yes it is true. Bloggers say they use Twitter to promote their blogs, bring interesting links to light, and to get a feel for what people are talking about.

In year 2009, the trends set by Twitter, the most eminent microblogging service today have made a huge impact on bloggers & have came as the leading blogosphere trends for this year. This is what State of the Blogosphere 2009 report from the blog search engine, Technorati analysed while leading blogosphere trends for 2009.

About 73 percent of bloggers use Twitter, compared to about 14 percent of the general population. About 52 percent of Twittering bloggers are syndicating their blog posts to Twitter.

Technorati found that blogs with more than 100 page views a day received just 0.83 percent of their page views from Twitter referrals.

In fact, some bloggers (26 percent) spend so much time on Twitter that it has eaten into the time that they spend updating their blogs.

Now look at the bloggers are not using Twitter. Among the bloggers who don’t use it, 35 percent say they simply don’t understand the point of it. Another 54 percent say they feel no need to blog the details of their personal lives, in spite of the popularity of personal musings.

Technorati’s report also focused on the growing political influence of bloggers. The blogosphere’s impact on elections, from local politics to national elections, is growing. (Image Credits: Technorati)

Do you agree with the report from Technorati? Is Twitter is impacting the global nature & future of blogging? If yes, How?

Using .htaccess to Prevent Images Hotlinking & Saving your Web Hosting Bandwidth

Posted on by
Reply

Did you ever noticed that your images are being hotlinked on someone else’s server and consuming your server bandwidth? This is actually is direct linking to a web site’s files (images, video, etc.).without your permission.

It is bad, as it not only stealing our images, it also take advantage of our bandwidths. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue.

Hotlinking should be stopped because others undesirable consequences like switcheroo can often occur.

Using control over.htaccess is one of the most efficient way to prevent image hotlinking. Go through the following steps:

Creating & Placing .htaccess in Root (main) directory

Simply open a notepad & save it as .htaccess without any extension behind. If already have the .htaccess uploaded to your server, simply edit it like in step 2.

Editing .htaccess File

Paste the following code in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite2.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ http://yoursite.com/other_image.jpe[NC,R,L]

Note: In Last line of the above code the image other_image.jpg is not hotlink protected or your server can go into an endless loop.

In the above code yoursite2.com can used be stop hotlinking from specific outside domains only, such as myspace.com, blogger.com and livejournal.com

If you want to display 403 Forbidden error on hotlinking simply paste the following code instead of the code shown above.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite2.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

Remember, Hotlinked images can only be replaced by other images, not with an HTML page.

Using .htaccess to prevent hotlinking helps you block some legitimate traffic using these techniques.
