SEO is a slow process and can take a bit of time for you to see real results. But there are areas on your blog you can focus on to increase the chances of your content getting found by Google and other major search engines. One of the best ways to do that is by improving the internal link structure of your blog. While you can do this by hand or your own script, why reinvent the wheel when <a
href="/seosmartlinkspro" target="_blank">SEO Smart Links</a> has you covered. It&#8217;s a premium plugin that provides better navigation to your visitors and builds links for all your relevant pages without having to spend hours doing so.</p><p><object

You can define your keywords and destination URLs, and the plugin does the rest for you automatically. It goes through your content and find keywords and pages it can add links to. The premium version of this plugin offers some more advanced linking options. For starters, you can avoid cross category linking or target posts based on their dates. <span

Thanks to this plugin, you can not only manage multiple keywords per page, you can define multiple URLs per keyword, letting the script pick one of the URLs at random. That can be a great way to test multiple affiliate links.</p><div

class="wp-caption-text">prelovac.com</p></div><p>You certainly don&#8217;t want to have 20 links per page going to all kinds of pages. That would be just annoying for your visitors. This plugin does allow you to control the number of links that show up on each page. SEO Smart Links also offers affiliate link cloaking which is a very helpful feature. The detailed report which is available in the business version of this script is powerful too.</p><p><img

It is not cheap by any means but is very powerful, especially for sites with a lot of content.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-platforms/wordpress/seo-smart-links-premium-build-links-like-a-pro/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>SupportBird &#8211; Premium Help Desk Plugin for WordPress</title><link>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tools/supportbird-premium-helpdesk-plugin-for-wordpress/</link> <comments>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tools/supportbird-premium-helpdesk-plugin-for-wordpress/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:52:48 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Panah</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blogging Tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plugin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[support]]></category><guid

There are not too many people who get to talk about what they are passionate about and get paid for it. As a blogger, you want to build assets and create new products to keep you going over the long run. There is only so much you can earn from ads and affiliate products. You are going to be your own boss if you sell your own product. There is a catch though. You are going to have to provide support for your product (and also improve your product on a consistent basis). Setting up a help-desk system on your blog can go a long way towards helping you offer a better post-sale experience to your customers. SupportBird is just the plugin for that.</p><p><a
href="http://wpplugins.com/plugin/282/supportbird-wp-help-desk?view=description" target="_blank">SupportBird</a> is a powerful help desk plugin for WordPress that makes it easier for your customers to get in touch with you and share their issues. This plugin adds a simple to use support form to your website.

id="more-2914"></span></p><p>SupportBird is easy to install too. You can use short-codes to get the job done. The back-end is straight forward. You can define the support categories your visitors can choose from. Priority levels and ticket statuses can be modified on the very same page.</p><p><img

SupportBird may be just a tool but it can make the process much more convenient.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tools/supportbird-premium-helpdesk-plugin-for-wordpress/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fixed Social Plugin: WordPress Meets Social Media</title><link>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-platforms/wordpress/fixed-social-plugin-go-social-with-your-blog/</link> <comments>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-platforms/wordpress/fixed-social-plugin-go-social-with-your-blog/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:05:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Panah</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Wordpress]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plugin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[social media]]></category><guid

After all, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if you got some exposure on those sites for all the work you have done without having to lift a finger. That&#8217;s actually possible as long as your content provides unique value to your readers. You also want to have the proper tools on your blog to make it easy for your readers to submit your posts to those sites. If you are running your blog on WordPress, you are in luck. There are plenty of plugins that make it so easy for your visitors to share your content on top social networking sites.</p><p><a
href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fixed-social-buttons/" target="_blank">Fixed Social Plugin</a> is an amazing little plugin that is worth a try for anyone who&#8217;s looking to get more exposure for his/her content on sites such as Facebook, StumbleUpon, and other top sites. This plugin is very flexible. It lets you pick and choose the style of your buttons and also the ones you want to show on your blog.</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1754" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/132.png" alt="" width="450" height="226" /></p><p><span
id="more-1753"></span></p><p>You also have control on where your buttons show up. They can show up horizontally at the top of your blog or vertically on the right side of your screen. You can even no follow the links to avoid leaking PageRank.</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1756" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/133.png" alt="" width="389" height="356" /></p><p>I would have loved to have the option to customize the look and feel of this plugin further from the back-end. However, the plugin is pretty easy to install, and you can always change the settings if you know some coding. What I like about this plugin is the fact that it sits these buttons on the top of your page in a non-intrusive manner. It may not work for every blog, but it&#8217;s worth a try. Probably the easiest way to make your blog more social friendly.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-platforms/wordpress/fixed-social-plugin-go-social-with-your-blog/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Manage Your Gmail More Effectively with Mailbrowser</title><link>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tips/manage-your-gmail-more-effectively-with-mailbrowser/</link> <comments>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tips/manage-your-gmail-more-effectively-with-mailbrowser/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:58:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Panah</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blogging Tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gmail]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plugin]]></category><guid

It not only comes with an intuitive interface, but it makes managing e-mails much easier no matter what type of device you are using or how many e-mails you are getting. Of course, as a blogger you want to spend more time creating content and promoting your blog and less time organizing your e-mails, contacts, and attachments. That&#8217;s where <a
href="http://mailbrowser.com" target="_blank">Mailbrowser</a> can help. It&#8217;s a cool add-on for Gmail that lets you manage your contacts much easier.

id="more-1600"></span></p><p>Gmail may be an e-mail service, but thanks to Mailbrowser you can use your Gmail account as a fully-fledged contact management service. It can keep track of your e-mails with your contacts, and it even lets you take notes about your contacts. I also love the fact that you can search through your attachments much easier by taking advatage of this innovative plugin. Mailbrowser provides you with a consolidated view of all the documents that you have exchanged with your contacts. You can even version your attachments and tag your contacts, making the tool quite fun to play with.</p><p><img

That means I get a lot of e-mails and files on a daily basis. Sometimes, going through all these emails and organizing them effectively can take hours of my time. With a plug-in such as Mailbrowser, I can manage my contacts and attachments more easily and get more done in less time. You can even manage multiple accounts and automatically synchronize across multiple installations. Mailbrowser may not be perfect but has a lot of potential.

Traffic is not everything, but it is very important if you want to become a pro blogger and quit your day job. There is a lot of science and art behind the field of search engine optimization and the industry is changing so much all the time. So it&#8217;s fairly tough to keep up with the latest development, but unless you know how you are doing with your search engine optimization efforts, it&#8217;d be tough to figure out what you need to do. If you can&#8217;t tell what keywords are bringing you traffic from what page positions, you are not going understand the opportunity available to you.</p><p>SEO Booster Pro is an innovative WordPress plugin that helps you find out how you are doing on the SERPS, and how you can go about improving your positions. The plugin is designed to let you know where you are getting your traffic from (from which page, what position, and what keywords). It also keeps track of changes in your search engine rankings, so you can figure out whether you are making progress, and which one of your search competitors are stepping up their game.</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1179" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/112.png" alt="" width="468" height="283" /></p><p>The plugin comes with a lot of useful options. The Top 10 SERPs tab shows you the top keywords and referring URLs for your pages. The last 35 SERPs visits show you what keywords are driving traffic to your site, and what other keywords you could be taking advantage of to increase your overall traffic.</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1180" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/113.png" alt="" width="462" height="78" /></p><p><span
id="more-1178"></span>What I like about SEO Booster Pro is the fact that it let me export all this data and manipulate them for more analysis. So while the information that you are getting from the plugin is handy, there are plenty of ways to dig deeper to get a better understanding of what you need to do to dominate the search engines.</p><p><a
href="http://bit.ly/HWSXO" target="_blank">SEO Booster Pro</a> is a great way to outsource your SEO tracking process and save time at the same time. All you have to do is set it and forget it. After a few days, you are going to see a whole lot of data gathered by this plugin without you having to do anything. So you can spend more time on your content and worry less about your rankings.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-platforms/wordpress/track-your-blog-seo-with-seo-booster-pro/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Greet Your Visitors with WP Greet Box</title><link>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tips/blogging-strategies/greet-your-visitors-with-wp-greet-box/</link> <comments>http://www.bloggingot.com/blogging-tips/blogging-strategies/greet-your-visitors-with-wp-greet-box/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:00:47 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Panah</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Blogging Strategies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plugin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Wordpress]]></category><guid

So you don&#8217;t really get too much traffic from search engines. But once you hit those magic numbers (500, 1000, &#8230;) in posts, you are going to get a lot of passive traffic from all kinds of places. Some people may digg your blog posts. Others may submit your posts to Facebook, Delicious, or even Twitter. So you are going to get traffic from different sources. Now the easy way to deal with your traffic is to do nothing. Just sit and watch as people come and go. But that&#8217;s not very smart. Perhaps the smarter way to approach your traffic is by figuring out where its coming from and treat each source differently.</p><p>WP Greet Box is a cool plugin for WordPress bloggers that makes it easy to track your visitors and show them customized messages based on their referring URL. Essentially, the plugin lets you treat your Facebook, Twitter, and Stumbleupon traffic differently. You can give your Facebook visitors an incentive to tweet your posts and vice versa. This process can be implemented for other blogging platforms as well, though you&#8217;ll most likely need a 3rd party script to get the job done. With WP Greet Box, you won&#8217;t have write a single line of code, which is a big plus.</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1175" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/110.png" alt="" width="478" height="290" /><span
id="more-1174"></span></p><p>So why is this approach important? As someone who has worked on a lot of landing pages in the past, I can tell you that people often take the actions that you ask them to when they are faced with the call to action. And if you give them an incentive to distribute your content, as long as your content is of high quality, they will most likely take you upon your offer. What you don&#8217;t want to do is go overboard with WP Greet Box. Thankfully, you have got access to a series of settings that you can customize to avoid annoying your readers (e.g. Visitor Timeout).</p><p><img
class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1176" src="http://www.bloggingot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/111.png" alt="" width="469" height="188" /></p><p>Overall, you can&#8217;t do everything by yourself when it comes to blogging. So if you are getting ranked on search engines and your content is distributed on social media sites, why not ask your readers to help you take your blog to the next level? <a
