The Art Of Commenting

Do you harness traffic from your comments on others’ blogs?

Surfers post comments for two reasons, they want to give their opinion or they want to post a backlink. Either way, people leave comments to grab attention, expecting that the author would at least read their comments. But nowadays, comments are intentionally addressed for everybody who happens to attend the same post. Everyone will see it so it’s very important to dress it up with something shiny, or whatever that would grab attention.

Whether you’re plainly giving a reaction to a post or just trying to create a backlink, there’s one thing you must understand to create an effective comment. Let’s begin.

Be Approve-Able

This is where everything starts, create something that the blog owner wants to get displayed on his blog. Be approvable, because if you don’t, then what’s the point?

Commenting On Popular Blogs

One big challenge to a blogger is to create comments on popular blogs. “Commenting on popular blogs? Where’s the challenge, and what’s the difference?” you may say. But you know, popular blogs are expectedly to have 30 or more comments on them for each posts, in which 10 I believe is already a crowded spot.

One thing for sure, you need to create a comment on that popular blog for the sake of backlink, that’s easy, but getting attention is another thing. The chance of your comments being notice on these kind of blogs decreases because surfer’s eyes will just aimed to scan these 30+ comments and if your comment was just-another-wordpress-comments kind of thing, then yours will just be passed-by just like other regular unappealing comments spamming that post.

So how to get my comments noticeable?

For popular blogs, you should furnish your comments with an all-caps letters. “But wasn’t that too much? Would I look like pathetic by doing that?” you may say. But do not be shy for doing these, remember that you are trying to be noticeable here, and you wouldn’t want your comment to appear like everybody else’s. Until wordpress creators let us create red-texted comments with bold-underline on it, we will use caps lock okay?

Create Your Signature

No, signature file wasn’t just only for forum. I say that comments must also have signature on them. I always use “–Nhoel of http://keywordspeak.com” . So in any case the other surfers found my comment appealing, I'm giving them the obvious opportunity to know me better by using my very handy signature link. Now you got two links, the standard website field link and your signature link, and you just got one step ahead.

Note: Most spam filter plugins treat your comment as spam if your comment has three or more link on it so don’t overdo this.

Avoid Long Comments

My initial reaction when I see long article posts is “Do I really need to read all these to get the information I need?”. Well, that’s for an article, how much more for a comment. Comment need not to be long, just compose one to two juicy-slash-intelligent sentence and it should be enough to be notice.

Reinvent Your “Website” Field Entry

Are you just putting your homepage on your website field entry whenever you’re creating a comment? You should know that you can put an specific post on it to create a one plus point on your backlink. Remember that you already have your homepage’s backlink on your signature entry on the comment’s body, so having a more specific address is what you want for this.

This trick has a pros and cons though, let’s discuss further:

Advantage: You will reduce your bounce rate, because your visitors should click your “Home” link since they just got entered from a specific post. Plus of course you had just created two different backlink on that one comment, search engines treat this as a separate entity (dofollow), and that’s two birds in one stone.

Disadvantage: If your comment didn’t labeled as “waiting for approval”, then try again by just doing the traditional homepage link. If you see “waiting for approval”, then the blog owner didn’t allow you to do that. There are few sites like this, so this is still something you should do.

Always Mention The Blog Owner’s Name

The most important thing is to get approved right? Meaning you must first get the blog owners nod before anybody else’s. You can get your chance being approved tenfold if you at least mention the blogmaster’s name. A simple “Thanks Derek” or anything more appropriate will do the trick.

Never Spam

So how do we define a comment spam? Comment spams are any comments that appeared to be created for the sake of having a backlink. Your fellow commentators wouldn’t follow it, much more the blog owner will approve it.

Watch Out For Misspellings

Our aim is to catch attention, having misspelled words and grammar errors wouldn’t give us that. You should review your comments just like you review your posts. Most blogs never allow you to edit your comments once sent, so watch out.

These are some few tips on creating comment, let’s see if you just learned something.

Google Spiders Overview

How Google Index Websites

Google Saves Websites Data

To date, Google is the most widely known, widely used and widely respected search engine on the web. Google had indexed so many website than any of its competitors. Though Google has sponsored link results, it gives real link on websites according to the search query used by the visitors, unlike other search engines who were reported to be bias since their search results were mixed by commercial website that sponsored them. Google on the other hand shows sponsored links on a separate area and the real result was displayed on the main window in rank basis.

Google has been so reliable and popular that it is interchangeably used instead of the term “search”. Hence, the phrase “Search it!” had become more understandable and more meaningful if “Google it!” was used.

Are you wondering how Google became so reliable and popular?

The real detail is so technical and would be boring, so I’ll just use common words to discuss it, but first let me introduce to you the term “Google Dance”.


You need fist to understand that Google needs to index all websites on the net. Indexing is the process of Google reading all text content of each single websites, and after reading them, Google’s engine will then save this information on its database for later use.

So how do Google do this, and how often it does indexing?

Google had more than ten thousand of servers on different locations. These servers work hand in hand in crawling the internet and collect all the text information it can get. In this process, Google’s engine will add new entries for newly found websites and delete entries of websites that had gone online. After the whole process, these servers will then upload the new index result to www.google.com. Google does this indexing process 10 times a year, calculating, that’s every 36 days. This process of changing index entries had later been coined to be the “Google Dance”.

But that was before. To date, it was reported that Google does this every week, mostly on Monday. Meaning that this has become an ongoing process for Google’s search engines. That is why users can see various results from time to time.

This greatly benefits users, however this creates an unending panic to most webmasters. If a search engine will update its index in continuous pattern, each websites rankings could vary anytime. Meaning that if a web owner holds the top rank, he don’t have the assurance of staying at that level unless he do something that would make him stay on the top.

And since all webmasters fight to be on the top rank, it then became an unending and continuous battle among web owners.

Google is the most advance search engine available on the web up to this day, giving logical and reliable results. The very reason why Google earned the respect of the average users, webmasters, experts and even critics online and offline.

Use Your Own Custom Domain To Your Blogger.Com Blog

How To Use Your Own Registered Domain With Blogger.com

Configure custom domain on blogspot blog at blogger.com

This blog is hosted at blogger.com, but like everyone else I also found the default domain name ugly. Having a 'blogspot' extension on your url address doesn't appeal on my taste, especially to my visitors, much more with search engines.

So I used blogger.com's custom domain name feature. As you can see, this blog is using my own paid domain name 'keywordspeak.com', and what's nice about this is that it is hosted my blogger.com. That means that I don't need to pay for a monthly hosting fee. Sure I can afford the monthly fee for hosting, I'm doing this before with godaddy.com. I found 2.45 dollars/mo very affordable, but if you can do it for free, then why not use it, right?

So, since this blog is a proof that you can use your paid domain name with blogger.com, then let's start discussing on how you can do it too.


I registered my domain name with godaddy.com, but you didn't have to worry if you have different registrars, the idea is still the same. All you need to do is to change the settings on your cname record. On godaddy, here's how I've done it, login to your godaddy account, click on 'Domain Manager' as shown on the figure below.

Next, click you domain name, then click the 'Total DNS Control' on the 'Total DNS' section as shown below.

 Now, edit the entry on the 'www' entry and point it to ghs.google.com. This means that when your visitors type in www.yourdomain.com, blogger will load your blog. But what if your visitors just type in yourdomain.com ? To solve this, you must redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com.

Okay, we're done on the registrar part, next step is to make some simple configuration on our blog address at blogger.com. Login to your blogger account and go to Settings > Publishing, and click on the 'Custom Domain' link. Click on the 'Switch on advance settings' link. Now, enter your own/custom domain name on the text field as shown below.

You can check the 'Redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com' checkbox, we've done this on the registrar side but you can check it here, just to be safe. If the registrar side fails (which is not so likely) your setting here at blogger.com will back it up.

So that's it, your blog on blogger.com is now set-up using your own domain name.

Happy blogging at blogger.com!

Free Pinay Celebrity Scandal - SEO Contest

Free Pinay Celebrity Six Scandal - SEO Contest

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO PUSH DOWN BAD WEBSITES ON SERP, HIJACK THE "PINAY TEEN CELEBRITY SCANDAL" KEYWORD.
-THE MINI SEO CONTEST.

I just decided to join the SEO contest that’s trending among Filipino bloggers. It seems that free pinay six scandal is one of the most search phrase on our country, Philippines. So I think that it’s my responsibility as a blogger to create a post intended for the free pinay celebrity scandal saga.

GOAL !
This post is intended to rank on search engines so that the real bad sites related to the free pinay celebrity scandal will be push down, google please help us.

I’M INVITED !
By marhgil macuha who initiated this mini seo contest three years ago (November 2007) with the goal stated above.

Concern About Google Adsense
I joined this contest after hearing this for about five months because I knew that google adsense doesn’t allow their ads on any pron site or any site that promote it or link on any pron related site. So, I don’t want to take the risk putting my adsense account in danger considering that getting your account back is very very hard. Also, self respect told me that if I will earn money online, I will do it without sacrificing my dignity, and I was thinking then "What will my friends and relatives will tell me if they see my scandalous post?". But when I discovered that you don’t need to promote any carn@l things by targeting these keywords, then I finally decided to join the contest, and here I am, huli man daw at magaling, nakakahabol din. And the question is “Am I magaling?”, that we will see with this experiment.

My Hardship
To date, bloggers who joined the FREE PINAY CELEBRITY SCANDAL contest is already huge. Meaning that I am very late to beat these early comers, considering that the posting date is one of the factor search engines like google are using on their ranking. But I knew that the time factor is not the only thing that these search engines are using. What are those? Who knows (do you?), what I know is that I will join the contest, do the best that I can, wait, and hope that I can get on top.

PROS
Being a late comer has some benefits. First, I am sure that this FREE PINAY SiX CELEBRITY SCANDAL SEO CONTEST is adsense safe because many bloggers have done their own post with google adsense codes on it. So it’s absolutely safe to say that it is a certified adsense safe. Second, you can make other site as a reference on how to do it, meaning you can do what they have done and even improve it. It’s like a game where they already shown their cards with you having the freedom to choose what kind of cards you’ll use and how to deal them.

Now, I’m done, the only thing left for me to do is to wait and hope that I made this right. SEO contest, here I come!

SmartBro With Canopy Connection Problem

How To Reset / Refresh Your Connection With SmartBro Canopy

SmartBro with canopy limited or no connectivity problem / issue

I'm using smartbro canopy on our house since a lined internet connection doesn't still reached our place, actually we're two street away from the last terminal box of a wired isp(can you believe that?).

So, as a last resort, I'm using the smartbro with canopy service. Though I admit that I'm somewhat satisfied with it's performance, but your internet connection using smartbro with canopy can sometimes drop especially on peak hours.

Here's a solution on how to properly refresh or reset your internect connection with smartbro:



Step1.) Unplug your smartbro power adaptor (at least 10 seconds).
Step2.) With your computer: Start > Run > type: ncpa.cpl > Right Click and disable your Local Area Connection.
Step3.) Plug back your smartbro power adaptor.
Step4.) Enable back your Local Area Connection by double clicking the icon or right click > Enable.

Explanation:
You made two major resetting steps. One is you properly disconnected the power to the canopy since it is using a POL or power on lan, meaning that a 29.5 volts over the ethernet cable (that's the cable going to your canopy). And second, you had reset the session of your lan network to your computer, by disabling / enabling your local area connection.

DISCLAIMER:
Your connection will surely be fix doing this steps, however, in any case that you still can't reestablish your internet connection, then the problem could be on your internet service provider and not on your end. You can try your connection again after some minutes. Worst come to worst, you can contact *1888 using your smart sim since they don't allow direct communication to your local smartbro service maintenance team.

Wordpress Admin Page Is Broken - Hacked

My wordpress blog is hacked which causes my admin page broken. I found that a worm or some virus got to my computer, sitting and waiting for some ftp session. And when I did used ftp for my self-hosted wordpress site, it logged my username and password and sent it somehow to the hacker.

Cutting the story short, all of my php files was appended with <?php /**/ eval(base64_decode("aWYoZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdvYl...=="));?> codes on them. Decoding this base64 instruction reveals a functioning php code used by the hacker. And cutting the story shorter, I switched to blogger.com for my blog and just used my beloved old domain.



I didn't know exactly how the virus got to my pc because I'm using an updated Norton Symantec Endpoint antivirus. But suing them isn't possible, so life must go on and I just moved here on blogger.com.

There's a lot of degraded features from a self hosted wordpress blog compared here on blogger.com, like flexible themes, plugins and everything. But if all you need is to have a platform to write on, some space for a humble ads, and I think blogger.com is more than enough for what you need.

And hey, I trust Google anyway.

DISCLAIMER:
I'm not saying that you can't fix your wordpress blog when hacked. It's been on my mind switching on blogger.com long before, it's just that stupid hacker triggered it this time, blessing in disguise I'll say.
