White Hat SEO vs Black Hat SEO, Which Is Better?

One will find a wide array of techniques being used for improving the search engine rankings of websites. While some of these techniques are ethical, there are some that can be manipulative. Different SEO marketers use different strategies to work and these may be White Hat SEO or black hat SEO. For instance, the site owners trying to lure players looking for casino bonus need to follow the right SEO techniques. Read on to know more about these strategies.

The safe and non-manipulative techniques, which are the White Hat SEO are the reputable methods like putting keywords in URLs, making sitemaps, building links, optimizing META tags and using keyword-optimized content. These methods help the search engines to locate the WebPages these seo specialists are working on so as to raise the ranking. Google Webmaster Tools encourage the use of these White Hat SEO strategies, all over the globe including European and Asian countries.

Black Hat SEO on the other hand, work on redirecting search engine "spiders" with using methods like mass-posting "spam" comments on forums, blogs and article. They also use keywords in very small fonts at the end of each page. But these Black hat SEO strategies may actually do more harm than good . This is because with the advancing technology, the search engines are getting smarter and one can no longer fool the Google or any other search engine. Hence, these black hat techniques will lower the quality of search engine results. Therefore it is no use directing the visitors to sites that they have little interest in.

While White Hat seo strategies may be time consuming, but their results are more permanent. The Black Hat SEO techniques are definitely faster but their results are short lived and one is back to square one in no time. Hence these methods will prove to be non effective and a waste of time in the long run. The search engines are able to identify each Black Hat technique and usually penalize the sites using these methods.

Websites officials using White Hat SEO need not fear about getting penalized by the search engines or getting removed from the search engine results. They may be time consuming but yield much better and permanent results in the long run.

Alexa, definitely you have heard the name before has now come to first position in ranking system. Almost every one having a blog or a website want's higher rank.

The lower the number is the larger it is popular. According to alexa rank google ranks first, facebook second, youtube third and so on. These sites get thousands of unique pageviews daily so they rank first, second and third. But some sites do get thousand pageviews but their ranking isn't good. So for those people whose alexa ranking isn't improving, here are some tips. These tips comes from my experience and believe it really works.
So here we go:

• Traffic

The most important thing for boosting alexa rank is traffic. Without traffic if you implemented other steps also then your site cannot improve. So try getting more and more traffic. The best traffic is the organic traffic that comes from search engines, probably more from google. So index your pages on google very fast. Don't buy traffic and if you wish also then buy unique one !

• Alexa Widgets

Alexa provides number of widgets related to traffic rank. Install any one of those in your site. You can see a live example of it in my blog also. You might ask how it will help to boost rank as it doesn't bring visitors. But believe me it helps to connect your site to alexa and provide good ranks. You also can see most of the webmaster have this widget. It is because they also will to boost their rank.

• Alexa Toolbar

The most important feature of alexa ranking is that it provide rank according to the number of toolbar available. Before some months i also used to think that it does nothing but before some weeks i found great results. It really matters. So, inform your readers about toolbar. Do the starting of it by downloading it yourself.

• Claim/ Review your site

As soon as you start your site sign up for alexa and claim your site. Claiming your site gives more control over your site. If you can then you can certify your site. After certifying your site metrics your ranking will be increasing. Fill up all the information of your site, information, country, region,etc. Fill up all the info. Ask your visitors, friends, relatives, pal, etc to review your site. Reviewing your site makes it to make it closer to Alexa. be sure that they review good not bad.

• Update your site 

It's strictly recommend that you update your site regularly. Keep on posting articles that are unique and are likely to get impressions. Get more backlinks and comments. Updating your site bounds alexa to rank your site.

So these were the tips that i could give. Hope that your alexa ranking will be good. Implement now as it takes lots of time. No matter how much traffic you get ranking good in alexa takes a long time. So it's better to start your journey from now on.

Make Your Blogger Page Title SEO Friendly

You might have seen the bunch of text appearing at the top your every browser. That is what we called page title. In addition to this it is also the same link that we see on search engines which is clickable. From the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) point of the view it is the most important element of your blog for ranking better in search engines. It is obvious that people might search the hot trending topics like "Cardi B arrested at NYC Strip Club" or something like "Patrik Mahomes vs Broncos", and it's our major focus to get our blog's post at the first page of google search, for which SEO is an essential factor. And further more, making our titles SEO friendly will enhance the search as well as quality of our blog's post.
From this it can be concluded that a page title with high impact keywords ranks good in search engines and ultimately leady to boost our click through. Moreover it also drives some amount of unique traffic to our site. In blogger the page title is made up of blog title and post title. If the title of the post is not mentioned then its title will be the initial words of the posts.
Here is an example of it:

The above example is the search listing for the post having title "Water is colorless but ice made of water is white, why? In the above search listing some keywords (is, white, why?) are missing. Only first keywords are seen and the last few keywords are hidden. This is because of google as it only shows up to 70 characters of the page title in search results page. So whenever the page title exceeds the limit (70 characters) google simply cuts it off and so its victim will have to suffer low rank in search engine's result pages. 

Now what will you do ? Whats the solution for it? If it's so then you came to the right place.

The solution for this is simple. The thing that should be done is just reverse the position of blog title and post title. By this post title will be shown in full granting it high priority in comparison to blog title. So here is the explanation of this:

• Go to your Blogger Dashboard
• Move towards Theme > Edit HTML
• Look for the below code using CTRL + F 

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

• Replace the above code with the one below;

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>

• Save your template 

After replacing your code, it will replace your Blog's post title as mentioned above.
If you're having any queries regarding it, you can simply ask me !
Thank you,

AOL Instant Messenger Shuts down Permanently

Social medias are the base of virtual world. It is estimated that more than 30% of people use internet for the sake of utilizing social media. Hence, we can analyze the critical importance of social media on the internet. If we look back in time, we can see the variation of social media now and then ! With the passage of time, social medias became much powerful, secured, advanced as well as reliable. The path and the agents involved in social media development seems to be much vast and the principles used sounds amazing ! One of such pioneer factors is AOL Instant Messenger.

AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) was an instant messaging computer program which enabled users to communicate in real time. It was popular back then, in 1990s to Mid 2000s, and is considered to be the pioneer stuff of social media development. With the evolution of time and development of social media, and popularity of Facebook and Twitter made AIM to fade away, which made it's owner Oath Inc. to permanently shut down AIM service from Dec 15, 2017, stated on October 5, 2017!

All good things come to an end. On Dec 15, we'll bid farewell to AIM. Thank you to all our users! #AIMemories https://t.co/b6cjR2tSuU pic.twitter.com/V09Fl7EPMx

— AIM (@aim) October 6, 2017

It's such an unhappy moment for adults, who grew up using AIM to say goodbye to something which enlightened their past. AIM was the one of the best instant messaging program to communicate with others. It was the pivotal part of introduction to life on the internet for most of the people. It helped people understand the internet communication carefully and emotionally in a way that people could understand the vast pace of internet growth and it's importance in the future. AIM wasn’t the first instant messaging tool to exist, but it was the most widely used and influential in broad strokes, making it possible for us to feel at home in lots of different online settings.
Messaging apps are still so similar to the pattern which AIM used and popularized. Considering Zuckerberg, he created Facebook’s original chat feature as the same format AIM was designed. Zuckerberg’s  Facebook Messenger, has a few improvements, but the basics are all there:

• A buddy list 
• Online activity statuses 
• And the ability to chat one on one, or in a group.

AIM never stood a chance at keeping up with the pace of innovation on the web, which is why it has left, but that doesn’t change what it meant to us. AIM truly set the parameters for most of our virtual interactions, so when it goes dark on Friday, it will be gone but certainly not forgotten !
