Top 9 SEO Tips for Web Masters and Bloggers
Do you want to be number one in the search engines?
Do you want your content to rank higher than your competitors?
Are you working hard on developing the best content you can?
If the answer to these three questions is ‘yes’, then you should read and heed the following.
9 SEO tips to get better results in search engines.

SEO
Tip No. 1 -The Title
You need to ensure that you have a title tag and that it is less than 70 characters long. You should have your keywords in the title and make it as interesting as possible. It can be really hard to keep an interesting title to 70 characters and it takes skill and practice. But once you get this mastered you’ll get more visitors and more conversions. This is probably the single most important part of each post because without a good title nobody will ever even open your post.
Tip No. 2 – The Description
Your description should sell your page as well as describing what’s on it. When you’re looking through search results, you’ll be struck by descriptions that contain the keyword and provide a solution to the problem you’re looking for. Ensure that you keep the description to less than 155 characters and catch the attention of the people browsing through the search engine results.
Tip No. 3 – The Page Hierarchy
You should ensure that you use h1, h2 and h3 tags in the correct way. H1 is for the main page title, subheadings should be h2, and sub subheadings should be in h3. When you are optimizing your site, you need to think about how search engines view your content and these tags are crucial to the process.
Tip No. 4 – Give Credit to the Author
Google is of course the biggest search engine out there with upwards of 60% of the market share. By linking your content to your Google Plus account you will get an image in the search results and you will get better exposure in Google. This will increase your visitors exponentially and enhance your brand image too.
Tip No. 5 – Use Internal Links
Every page on your website will have a certain amount of link juice that it can be pass to pages within your website. It’s not only external links that can increase your page rank and be a positive indicator in the search results. Therefore it’s crucial that you interlink your pages and funnel towards the key content that you want to promote.
Tip No. 6 – Use a Site Map
Site maps are XML files that tell the search engines exactly which pages are in your site. You could also prioritize certain pages and explain to the engines how often you’re updating so that they will come back and crawl when necessary.
On Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools you can submit the site maps so that they are found by the search engines and used to increase the efficiency with which your website is indexed.
Top Tip No. 7 – Canonical Link and Duplicate Data
One of the worst things for search engine presence is to have duplicate content either within a website or on different websites. You should therefore ensure that you re-direct old web pages to the new ones and if necessary use a canonical link in the head of your web pages so that search engines understand which page is to be indexed.
Top Tip No. 8 – Use Webmaster Tools
Lots of the search engines have webmaster tools interfaces that enable you to find out more about how your website is performing and how it is viewed by the search engines. You should certainly use the services provided by Bing and Google. You can find out about links to your websites, broken links within your websites, keywords being searched and showing up in the search engines and even crawl stats from the search engine bots. By using these tools you can understand your business presence online much better and also fix issues that are coming up.
Top Tip No. 9 – Develop Superb Content
Everyone has heard the maxim that “content is king”. But in my opinion it’s much more important than that. You should have superb quality content with great titles that will entice people into your website. If your website is displayed in the search engines a hundred times a day but only one person clicks, and they ‘click and leave’ straight away, you’ve generated no business. If you are found ten times per day five click and two buy, you are on to a winning formula.
The content needs to be readable, interesting, flowing, and to the point. Using infographics and rich media can enhance your brand and your conversions too.
Stay Up To Date With SEO
SEO has changed since the Panda and Penguin Google updates. It is important that Webmasters and Bloggers stay up to date with the trends online. It is equally important that content is developed with the future in mind. This means reading and understanding the search engine guidelines on content and link building. As a general rule you won’t go far wrong if you produce top quality interesting content that features your keywords and keyword synonyms.
Keep your finger on the pulse of SEO but following a few authority figures on Twitter. That way you will ensure your content always hits the search engine mark.

How To Setup Google Ad Manager On Your Blog/Website

If you are generating revenue off your website or blog, chances are you serve banner ads and they are either updated manually by adding the images and URLs into the source codes or with the help of external ad-serving scripts like OpenX or OIO Publishers.
Google has a similar web service, call the Google Ad Manager. In a nutshell, it is a simple (and free) web service that helps you manage banner ads. It also comes with a pretty complete inventory report module. Ad Manager integrates with AdSense, therefore webmasters have the ability to serve AdSense ads if there’s no banner for any particular slot. Here’s a quick look into advantages ofGoogle Ad Manager:
- Ad Targeting ability. You control who get to see the ads. Let it be geographical, browser or language specific.
- Efficient ad serving. No script installation is required. Everything (including the creatives) are hosted with Google. Not only it saves you space and bandwidths, you can also be rest-assured that banners will be delivered quickly.
- Multi-user supported. You can assign multiple salespersons to handle the sales part, and have everything documented/recorded nicely inside Google Ad Manager.
- Simple User Interface. And like any other Google web services, Ad Manager has simple and easy to understand interface.
- more..
If you are convinced that Google Ad Manager is potentially helpful in managing advertisements for your website or blog, we want to show you how to get it setup right from the scratch. Full guide after jump.
1. Create Ad Slots
Ad Slots are the reserved space on your site for ad placements. If you want to insert 4 125×125 banners on your sidebr, you are looking at creating 4 ad slots. Here hongkiat.com, we have eight 125×125 image banners. That means we’ll need to repeately create 8 different ad slots. Let’s go about doing it.
- Under Inventory -> Ad Slots, click on New Ad Slots.
- Compulsory fields: Give your slot an unique Ad slot name. Select the banner size drop drop down, or create one if you like. Choose if the banner should open a new window (_blank) or open on current window (_top) upon click.
- Optional fields: Checked the AdSense checkbox is you want to maximize revenue on the slot with AdSense, but we’ll recommend not to, for now. Fill in a meaningful description for the Ad Slot, or you can perhaps skip this if your Ad slot name is self-descriptive enough.
- Save it.
Repeat step 1, 2 and 3 to create all the ad slots you’ll need. For our case, we will be creating 8 ad slots with different name. Here’s how one of them look like.

And once you are done with creating all your ad slots, here’s how your Inventory page will look like. Next, we will be creating ad placements.

2. Create Ad Placements
Ad Placements are what hold/group your ad slots together. For hongkiat.com, since we have 8 ad slots of 125×125 banners on the sidebar, we’ll need one ad placement to hold them together. Ad placement also make sure each ad gets a fair shot of being on the top position if you set them on rotational. Here’s how you create ad placement.
- Under Inventory -> Placements, click on New Placement.
- Compulsory fields: Give your ad placement a meaningful name. For example, we name ours "HKC-125-RightTop-Zone" because it’s going to store all 125×125 banners, positioned at the top right corner of the blog.
- Optional fields: If you allow AdSense to bid for ad slots in this placement, check forTargeting, else uncheck. The Internal Description is personal use only, something to let you understand your ad placements better.
- Add all ad slots that belongs to this new ad placement you’ve created, in our case we added all.
- Save it.
Here’s a sample of how our Ad Placement settings look like.

Once saved your ad placement, you’ll be returned to Inventory -> Placements main page and it looks something like this.

Here’s a quick summary – You’ve created the necessary Ad Slots, and group them under a Ad Placement. The next thing we need to do is to add "real" banners into each of these ad slots.
3. Create Orders
Orders
Think of Orders as banner order requests. It stores information about who the advertisers are, the start and end date of the ad campaigns, and more. If an advertise place an order of banner ad on your website, you create a new Order. If you have 8 Ad Slots, expect to create up to 8 different Orders. Make sense? Let’s create some Orders.
- Under Orders, click on New Order.
- Compulsory fields: Give each other an Order name and External ID you can easily regconized. Let the system know when the banner will start and when it’ll end by choosing theStart date and End date. Choose unlimited if it’s likely to be permanent.
- Optional fields: You might also want to fill up the Advertiser, Agency, Contacts, User Assignments and Notes to help you understand the Order better.
- Save it.
We’ll now create a Line item for this order.
Line Items
Line Items associate with Orders. Every time an Order is entered, you’ll need to create a Line Item for it. Line item allows you to determine the nature of the ad, whether it’s serving as CPC, CPM or CPD.You also set the cost/price for the ad here.
Everytime you hit the Save button after creating an Order, you’ll be directed to create a Line item.
- Click New line items.
- Give it a Name.
- Determine the Delivery Priority. If your order is a direct ad, change to Exclusive from the drop down box so you can use CPD (Cost per Day).
- Again, you need to make sure you’ve correctly entered the Start date and End date.
- Under Placement section, associate Line Item with it’s respective placement.
- Targetting section allows you to control who should see the ad. In another words, under what condition the ad will appear on your website. This setting is optional, by default ad will be visible to all.
- Delivery Options section detemine the appearance of the ad. Set Delivery rate and Creative rotation to Even will ensure all your orders get equal impressions.
- Save it.
Here’s how your line item will look like.

A quick recap before we continue. We’ve created an Order, with advertiser information, campaign start date and end date. Then we created Line Item for the Order where it stores information like cost type (CPC, CPM, CPD), cost, targetting behavours, etc. The next thing we need to do is to addcreative for the ad.
Creatives
Creatives are images of the ads. Every time a Line Item is added, you’ll need to add (and approve) at least one creative for it.
- After saving a Line item, click on need creatives to add an image for the ad.
- Fill up the Name, Ad slot size (banner size), Creative type, Manual Weight (if you need to control the priority of banner rotations)
- Save it.
Creative type determines how you serve the banner image. Google Ad Manager is capable of hosting your banners internally (regardlessly of jpg, flash, gif or png) or you can host them elsewhere and insert the image URL. Use rich media if you need manual HTML codes insertion.
Here’s a sample of how creative upload page should be filled.

Remember to Approve and activate the creative.
Repeat all steps in Orders, Line Items and Creatives for every individual banners. In our case, we will repeat this 8 times to fill up all our ad slots.
4. Display Banners
Here’s our final step before ads start showing on our website – generate the codes and paste them inside our source codes.
- Go to Inventory -> Ad Slots, click on Generate Sample HTML.
- Add all slots needed to Selected Items section
- Click Generate Sample HTML
Scroll to the bottom to find your generated codes. It should look something like this:
- <html><br>
- <head><br>
- <!-- PUT THIS TAG IN THE head SECTION --><br>
- <script type="text/javascript" src="http://partner.googleadservices.com/gampad/google_service.js<br>
- </script><br>
- <script type="text/javascript"><br>
- GS_googleAddAdSenseService("ca-pub-8918970543424762");<br>
- GS_googleEnableAllServices();<br>
- </script><br>
