Installing Best SEO Plugins Service Launched

You know that WordPress is a great CMS for SEO and the best SEO plugins can drastically help you with ranking higher in search engines. The brutal reality is, you still need to install all the plugins. What’s more, they also don’t just get configured properly out of the box because every site is different and the default configuration that the plugin author offers you may just not work for your WordPress site. Plus, plugins may also fail to get along with the newest version of WordPress. So, you also need to keep track of that. The good news is, you can just have all the WordPress SEO plugins installed and properly configured without you moving a finger. (more…)

Guest Blog Posting Service Launched

If you’re not sure how to do SEO for your site after the last Google update, you may need to consider guest blog posting. It goes without saying, you don’t want the kind of guest posts that you can order on Fiverr.com or a similar site. Though you may be tempted by the fact that they are dime a dozen, you don’t really want to associate your site with that sort of content quality. There’s no way that someone in their right mind would create a quality guest post for just $5. Sure thing, it can be decent money in some countries, but the problem is people don’t speak English as their native language in such countries. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. (more…)

Protecting Your Site from a DoS Attack

Online businesses put hours of hard work into maintaining websites. Building an e-commerce site is a significant undertaking that needs protection against hackers. A Denial of Service, or DoS, attack can cripple an e-commerce website, causing revenue losses that a small business may not be able to absorb. A DoS attack occurs when hackers flood a website with a plethora of requests, often through the use of a botnet, or network of malware-infected computers. Overwhelmed by the massive amount of incoming traffic, the website grinds to a halt, making it impossible to access. A Denial of Service attack can bring a website down for a week or longer.

Search Engine Correlation Data as of 2013

I want to offer you a really interesting chart from Moz.com that gives amazing insights on the correlation data in today’s SEO. Though the items in the chart are not exactly ranking factors, they do have some connection and are common among sites that rank high in search results. As Edward Tufte puts it,”Correlation is not causation but it sure is a hint.” And that’s exactly how you need to use the data from the chart. For instance, you’ll find out that there’s a pretty obvious connection between Google rankings and the number of Google+1’s of a particular page. At the same time, Google reps are saying that they are not using this factor in their algo. (more…)

Google Analytics WordPress Tips

Here’s why I decided to write these Google Analytics WordPress tips. Thing is, WordPress when used as a stand-alone solution does not have a built-in feature that allows you to monitor all sorts of data that may be useful in terms of SEO. If you just need basic daily traffic stats, you may just need to install the JetPack plugin and activate its WordPress.com Stats option. In case you need more in-depth info and for any time span, you definitely should consider using Google Analytics for that. So, what you need to do is create a Google Analytics account and verify your site so that you can use all the stats that the service offers. (more…)
