10 Simple Steps to Get More Facebook Fans
1. Alert your existing customers about your Facebook page: If you have existing email customers for your blog, then you can send them mail about the launch of your Facebook page. The existing customers will be proud to like your page because they love to get updates of your website through Facebook rather than emails.
2. Inform about your Facebook Fans page in all social networks: We all know that there are different types of social networks in the internet world. The followers or friends in one social network will be different to that of other social network. So it is better to inform your Facebook Fans page in other social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus etc. Also include your Facebook Fans page id in your Facebook profile 'about me' field.
3. Use Facebook as your page: Facebook allows you to use Facebook with your Facebook Page id. This helps you to hide your identity. Now go on to similar Facebook Fans page and comment on these pages. Some interested people will love your comments and they may be interested with the commenter and may ended up in liking your page.
4. Buy Facebook Ads: Use this feature carefully because it can empty your pockets. First start with a few dollars and try with different ads. Then discover which ads works perfectly for you. Then start spending good money to the ads which bring maximum amount of traffic to your Facebook Fans page.
5. Add Facebook Like Box to Your Page: This is the best way to make your website visitors aware of your Facebook Fans page. If your visitor loves your website, they will love to get updates from the website. When they see your Facebook Like box on your website they will like your page because they want your website updates. Another way to increase Facebook Fans through website is to provide a pop up box with your Facebook Like box.
6. Invite Friends to your Facebook page: You can invite all your friends to like your Facebook page. You can easily get about 100 fans through this step, if you have a good amount of friends in your network. Also ask your friends to share your pages so that your friend's friends can see your pages.
7.Events can give you some fans: You can create an event something like launching of your website. In the event add some sentence about your website and conclude your event like "I will be grateful if you like my Facebook page of my website (Your Facebook page link)". Don't forget to add link of your Facebook page in your event because if not given the people will not know how to access your Facebook page. When selecting the guests to the event it is better to add your Facebook page address in the "Add a personal message" field.
8. Update your Facebook page with fresh contents: Try to update the Facebook page with the fresh contents of your website. When the contents increases the users will be having a more chance of interacting with your Facebook page. Bringing some contests, polls and other interesting things can also bring you some good Facebook Fans.
9. Get Fans by tagging photos: Post a photo in your Facebook Fan page. The photo should be interesting and tag all your fans in that photo. The advantage of this is that all your fans friends will be seeing the particular photo and the chance of getting like is very high. Don't do this more than once in 6 months because some users may get irritate with your spam activity and they may leave your page.
10. Use your Facebook Fan page as signature in Facebook: Facebook doesn't allow to create signatures but you can do this manually. While writing anything to Facebook (like posting into friend's wall, groups, pages etc.) just wrute '@' followed by your Facebook page name at the end of your post. It will act as a signature and some interested guys may enter to your page and may ended up in liking your page.

Title of the blog post plays an important role in gaining good search engine traffic. We have already discussed here. Title of the blog post is the first thing in which search engine looks for. So if your title does not contain good keywords you are probably going to miss an important search engine traffic. Now in this article I will give you 10 tips to optimize your title tag to get maximum traffic to your blog.
1. Ensure title contains all keywords in descending order
First think of the keywords that can bring traffic to your blog post. Now take the keyword which will give maximum traffic. Put that keyword as the first word of the blog post. In the similar manner arrange the remaining keywords of your blog post. Remind you that the title should be in meaningful manner. So arrange the keywords in descending order in a meaningful manner. To know hich keyword have highest rank you can use keyword tool in Google adsense.
2. Ensure your website name come after the blog post title
This is one of the important step. In Internet we call it as swapping blog title. In some template settings we can see that the title of the blog comes first and the blog post title follows the blog title. This is one of the serious SEO mistake made by many bloggers. So every bloggers should ensure that title of the blog should always come after the blog post title.
3. Optimize the title into 70 characters
Don't create a very long title of the blog post. As your title becomes long the value of the keywords decreases. So you have to optimize wisely your title of the blog to 70 characters including spaces. You can use MS Word to calculate the number of characters in title.
4. Don't use stop words in title
Stop words are the words which have no keyword value. Don't use these keywords in the title of your blog post. You can get the list of stop words from here.
5. Use title keywords in the body of the blog post
Including the keywords in the title of the blog post will not reflects that you earn search engine traffic. You must also include keywords used in the title of the blog post into the body of the post. It is good to make these words bold and including keywords in sub title adds more SEO to your blog post.
6. Avoid duplicating the title post
We can see some bloggers using same title with slight variation in two posts. This will be considered as duplicating of the post by search engine and will cause the bad impression for your blogs. So if you are posting related contents in two posts make some variations in the title of the post.
7. Avoid keyword spamming in titles
Don't repeat the keywords in titles. Use the keywords only once. Also don't separate many keywords with comma, pipes and other symbols. If search engine detects keyword spamming in your website, then it will put heavy fine on your article and may even cause the deletion of whole website from search engine. Your title should reflect the content of the article and must contain all the keywords.

When we join Twitter for first time for promoting our blog the first problem we face will be to get some targeted Twitter followers. Now there are various websites providing paid Twitter followers. But the drawback of these paid Twitter followers are they will not give any targeted followers. A Twitter follower who does not like your niche is simply a waste. So we want to look quality rather than quantity. In this article I will provide some simple steps to get 2,000 targeted Twitter followers in 10 days.
Steps to get 2,000 Twitter Followers in 10 days
First you have to decide your area of interest. Then you have to complete your profile. In the description part you must wisely include all your area of interest. Don't forget to include the blog address in the website option. Upload a good profile photo and complete all the necessary part of your profile. A good profile is very important in getting followers.
Then the next step is to find peoples similar to your interest. You can find this either by looking on their description of profile or looking on the Tweets of Twitter users. The advanced Twitter search can be very useful to find the people with your interest or the users which can turn into your customers. Now follow the peoples with your interest. In my experience about 30% of Twitter followers will follow you back when you follow them. So when you follow 100 people there is a possibility of 30 users to follow you back. Since these peoples are inside the circle of your interest you are getting targeted Twitter followers. So when you post a link in your Tweets the chance of clicking the link and entering to your blog is high.
While following you must look on the followers and following count of that particular user. For example if you follow a user with 20,000 followers and user only follows 20 other users then the chance of getting a follow back from such a user is very low. If the followers number and following numbers are close to each other then the chance of getting a follow back is very high. If you aggressively follow many people on Twitter, it may cause the deletion of your entire Twitter account. So don't follow 2,000 Twitter followers in a single day. I recommend you to follow 200 Twitter users per day and complete your campaign in 10 days. Now you can see that your followers will start increase and I assure that you will be having a minimum of 500 followers n 10 days.
After 2,000 there is a limit in following people. This limit depend from users to users. You cannot follow more than 2,000 Twitter users when none is following you. Twitter says like this " you can’t follow 10,000 people if only 100 people follow you". The limit will be messaged as an alert by Twitter when you are trying to follow someone. So when this alert came you will not be able to follow new users. So after 2,000 following looks for the users who haven't follows you back. Then un-follow these people and so that you are allowed to follow new users. Don't unfollow aggressively and do it only 5 per day or otherwise Twitter will cancel your account marking you as spam.
By doing the above steps I promise you that your Twitter account will get 2,000 followers in 10 days. You can explain what you did in the commands window below.

I think from this example you will be able to understand how well the +1 can influence your Google search results. So even if your blog post lacks SEO, don't worry when your friend searches, because wherever your article in search result it will rises into first page. Now let me tell another example. If 100 Google Plus users +1 your blog post and suppose that each one have an average of 100 connected friends. Then the total people who sees your article in the first page of Google search engine is 100x100 which is equal to 10,000 peoples. Surprised! Yes it is huge. This tells how well +1 can influence Google search engine.
Now what to do next. Yes the answer is to increase +1. Then how? The answer is again simple which is to include Google Plus button in every blog posts. The best place to include Google Plus button is just below the title of your blog or just after the ending part of your blog post. Interactive Google Plus button which is seen in our page can also increase the number of +1 counts for your blog post.
Share your blog post in Google Plus profile and get traffic to your blog

My whole Google account get disabled- The most frustrating situation for every bloggers. When any Google users see this message there life will be in total darkness. They will not be knowing what to do next. I think this article will give you the complete steps to recover your disabled Google account.
This happens to me also. While I am using Google Plus my account suddenly gets signed out and when I try to sign in again I got the message of disabled account. I lost my gmail account, adsense account, three active blogs and many others. But within four days I was able to re-gain my Google account. I will tell how it happens in this article.
Why Google disabled my account?
The Google disables the whole Google account when they see some spam activity on your account. This may be by spamming gmail by sending many spam emails and by spamming Google forum.
Contact Google wisely to recover your disabled Google account
If you are redirected to this link then your account is in disabled state. Now it is the time to act wisely to re-gain your account. You can see a contact us link in the bottom of this link. Use it and apply an appeal to re-gain your account. But while applying an appeal you must keep these information in your mind. Don't express your anger in your appeal and be polite (as far as you can). Remember that your appeal will be reading by a Google employee and if he sees your politely filled appeal, then the chance of getting your account back is very high. If you know the reason why your account is in disabled state, it is wise to not to include these detail in your appeal. You should always use "I don't know why my account is in disabled state". You must also include information like how long you are using Google products and how your disabled Google account will effect your life. To understand the seriousness of your Google account include the balance amount of your adsense account, url of your blogs and data in your gmail account (which you may be probably miss out). Don't expect a fast reply from Google. You have to wait for 3-10 days. In the meanwhile submit different appeals in every 24 hours.
Contact Google forum to recover your disabled account
Google forum is the best place to ask help from Google employees and Top Contributors. There are many active Top Contributors in Google forum. Say your situation there. If you don't get any help then visit some of the profile of Top Contributors and email your thread link to them. You can also leave your link in any of the forum thread they already attended. If the Top Contributors attend your thread then ask the help politely. The Top Contributors have a special power of contacting Google employees directly which may increase the speed of recovery of your account.

Blogger has introduced country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) or country specific URL for blogs hosted under blogger. The country specific URL by blogger has caused serious drop in blog's traffic. The mostly effected blogs are the blogs which does not have canonical tags in their templates. This may be be due to the customization of blogger template.
If your blog template contains the above code, then you are safe. The canonical tags will be automatically generated using this tag. If the tag is not present you can add the same code just below the <head> tag. By adding the above codes effect any of your blog customization, then you can try this code.
Solution for Low Traffic due to Country Specific URL (ccTLD) for Blogger websites
To re-gain traffic effected by country specific URL, you have to ensure that canonical tags are present in your website. For this look for the following tags in your blog template.If your blog template contains the above code, then you are safe. The canonical tags will be automatically generated using this tag. If the tag is not present you can add the same code just below the <head> tag. By adding the above codes effect any of your blog customization, then you can try this code.
What Canonical Tag can do?
The Canonical tag refers the actual location of the blog. If one is visiting blogspot.in through search engine, the Canonical tags says the search engine that page is originally hosted in blogspot.com. If you don't add Canonical tags then search engine will think that same pages are seen in different domains and the traffic will reduce due to the duplication of content.
Google has rolled out country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) for
bloggers. It has been already implemented in India and we can see
blogspot.com redirecting into blogspot.in when we open any blogger
websites from India. You can read more from Blogspot.com redirects to Blogspot.in- What may be the reason?
Anyway here I will find some answers for questions which will be formed in every bloggers mind about ccTLD.
How my blog traffic effected from ccTLD?
Yes,
the ccTLD can make a significant drop in your blog traffic. The Google
crawlers will be seeing same content in many domains. For example same
blog contents will be seen on myblog.blogspot.com and
myblog.blogspot.in. Even the official announcement from Google about
ccTLD has mentioned about this fact. Anyway they also mention that their engineers
are trying to avoid this difficulty caused by ccTLD
How my blog ranking effected from ccTLD?
Yes,
your blog ranking will be effected from ccTLD. Both the Alexa ranking
and Google page rank is effected from ccTLD. As Alexa treats all country
level domains as different websites, the alexa rank for each websites
will be different. For example myblog.blogspot.in will be having
different Alexa rank compared to myvlog.blogspot.com. Also Google page
rank will also be reduced and the reason is similar to Alexa.
How my Social Share effected from ccTLD?
Social
share buttons like Facebook Like, Google Plus and Tweet buttons are
also effected from ccTLD. The likes which you got in blogspot.com will
be different from that of blogspot.in. So the counting is effected by
ccTLD.
Anyway we can expect some possible solutions
from Google to reduce the impacts caused by ccTLD. Anyway if you want to
escape from ccTLD, the best way is to buy a custom domain.
Today when I visit one of my blog, my Alexa rank was suddenly reduced. I can't find any reason until I look into the address bar of my browser. Instead of blogspot.com I found blogspot.in in my address bar. I look into some blogs in net and found that every blog is redirecting into blogspot.in. I fear that all Indian blogs have given this sub-domain by blogger and it may seriously effect my traffic from other countries. But my fear get partially reduced when I look on to Google official blog and found that the official blogs which is hosted from America are also re-directing to blogspot.in. So I understand that Google is re-directing every blogs country wise. So if you are browsing adsense.blogspot.com which is a blog from America it will appears as adsense.blogspot.in in India and adsense.blogspot.com.au in Australia.So the address of the blog depends upon readers country. Google call this as country-code top level domain (ccTLD). Strange and sad fact but its true. Thankfully this change ha no effect on blogs hosted on custom domains.
Blogspot.com to blogspot.in- What is the reason?
Recently Google have faced legal issues from many countries. Indian Supreme Court have asked to appear Google before the court. Since Google allows many features to express the thought independently, many bloggers are using this feature in a wrong way which has been causing serious legal issues in some countries.
So Google decided to introduce country-specific url (what Twitter does) and by doing so they can remove a particular content from showing in one country and can still show the same content in other countries. Anyway as Internet is influencing the society strongly Government are trying to tag the internet with laws and internet companies are forced to limit the features that are providing to customer. Anyway let's hope that Google will find some solution to the effect of country-code top level domain (ccTLD).
The most famous image ad network Luminate ads has got some serious technical difficulties in past two months.

2. Luminate ads Review- Do I want to add Luminate in my blog .
Recently we have given some articles on Luminate ads (Pixazza). In this article I will provide my personal review (not in this site) about Luminate ads. I think after reading this review, the reader will be able to find this question "Do I want to add Luminate ads in my blog?"My Personal Experience and Review about Luminate ads
After hearing about Luminate ads I was really excited. The main thing behind this was its uniqueness. Luminate is an unique ad platform which allows bloggers to publish advertisements on images. I was very much excited when I hear that Luminate is supported by Google adsense because anything related to Google adsense is a dream for every bloggers. So I decided to include Luminate ads into my main blog.
In my experience Luminate is good but not up to the expectation. As Luminate allows to tag the products as publisher's wish, I try with different products in my blog. But unfortunately none of them succeed. Actually I was running an educational blog which features engineering helps. But Luminate contains very less amount of educational type products. This may be the main reason for me to get the bitter taste of Luminate.

Facebook is one of the important platform to increase your blog traffics. Rather than just interacting with friends Facebook has become an important part of business. In this article I will provide you some simple steps which can get good and effective traffic from Facebook. The back links from Facebook is also an good SEO tool because now most of the search engines including Google look for Facebook likes while indexing in search engine and during the page rank decision.
Now I am coming to the real topic "How to get stable traffic from Facebook". Follow these 3 simple steps.
1. Make a Facebook page for your blog and promote this page
Just after creating a new blog make a Facebook page of your blog. Some bloggers mind will be hanging behind Facebook groups for their blogs. But my answer is absolutely NO. Don't create a group for your blog. Because the creator of the Facebook group does not have any priority in Facebook feeds. But if you create an Facebook page, everything you share on this page will reach high in Facebook feeds of all members who like your pages. Making more clear, if you write an article and you share that in your page it will be shown first in Facebook feeds of all members who joined your page using like button. If they are interested they will clicks these links and the results is your blog gets more traffic. Many of them like your Facebook page because they love the contents or genre of the blog, therefore the chance of getting clicks is also high.
Now you may be thinking that "how to increase the LIKES in your page". The solution is none other than your friends. There is an "invite friends" button in Facebook page which helps you to send a like request to every friends. They don't mind to like a Facebook page for you because Facebook is filled with activities and liking a Facebook page does not create any harm to them. The likes from friends is just an initiation and don't settle with this. Facebook has provided a beautiful Like box which can be easily displayed in your blogs. The like box is an important tool to get returning visits because an visitor of your blog likes your page only if they are interested with your blog. When the same visitor sees the shared article through Facebook Feeds, the chance of clicking the link is very high.
I have seen many bloggers who have done a great job to create many likes on their page and not posting anything to this page. This is absolutely foolish. After building a good Facebook page fans you must update this page with the links of your blog posts.
2. Increase your friends and use like buttons
Make everyone you know in the Facebook as your friends. Search for mutual friends and give friends request to all members who have the possibility of accepting the request. Then put a like button under your blog so that you and every visitors of your blog can like your posts.
3. Wisely use related Facebook groups
This is a very effective technique. Share your blog posts in related Facebook groups. For example if you create an article about an movie review, there will be many Facebook fans group of the actors or actress in that movie. So if you post your link there, you are going to get a heavy traffic. Don't do this in unrelated groups because it can get negative results.
I promise you that these three simple steps will surely increase your blog traffic and don't forget "More traffic means more revenue". I think you have understand what I mean to say and if you need any help don't hesitate to ask me in the comment section.
