• Wordpress Post Slug: Use It Efficiently: I never paid much attention to the post slug feature inside Wordpress, until recently when I submitted a guest post to Brian over Copyblogger. The post was titled “Six Common Punctuation Errors that Bedevil Bloggers.” The URL, however, was www.copyblogger.com/punctuation-mistakes/. When I saw that I realized the potential of this tiny feature. So easy, yet so useful.

• 10 Tips for Managing Email Effectively: Whether you are a blogger, a freelancer or a designer, you probably get overwhelmed when managing your email. This communication tool was supposed to make our lives simpler, but more often than not it does exactly the opposite.

• What Causes Subscribers to Read Your Blog’s Feed?: As you’re flipping through your feed reader, reading some feeds and skipping others, have you ever stopped to think about what influences your decision on which feeds are worthy of your attention? More importantly, have you ever thought about what makes your feed appealing enough to your subscribers that it actually gets read?

• Hit Scrapers Where It Hurts: Adsense: Getting someone that is violating copyright kicked out of Adsense should be faster and easier than getting the content removed from an anonymous blogger account (despite that being the optimal situation).

• Comment on Highly Ranked Posts: Leaving (meaningful) comments on other blogs is a well known tactic for acquiring traffic and readers. Apart from picking a handful of blogs that are on your same niche, however, is there anything else you can do? Sure. One substitute method is to research for specific posts that are ranked high in google for your related keywords, and leave comments there.

• Preventing Ad-blindness on Your Blog: The human mind doesn’t pore over every inch of your site, examining every image, reading each word and link. In fact, other than the content, readers take in very tiny. That’s why click-through rates on advertisements are so low (sometimes just a handful from a thousand impressions).

\n

• Could Indexation Time Affect SEO?: The explanation that I could find was that Google indexed my post before the others, and this factor contributed to its ranking. Now, I don’t think that being the first to write about a specific subject will automatically put you in Google’s front page for these keywords, but I guess it could help.
