Pictures May Boost Your PageRank

By VJ
Pictures of PageRankToday, my PageRank has risen for the first time to PR1 (and this blog is less than 2 months old). And you may wish to see this post, made for a contest entry, in which I described about it. Here is a thought. Just a thought, and may be it is pure coincidence. But I would well appreciate your views on this. [Here is Google PageRank Update of rising PR to 4]

Last night, what I did was writing an entry about how I could rise to second page on Google, and promote this blog to this level. I described everything I did in the last post made for Chitika contest, and as per their requirement, put a picture badge at the end of the post.

When I looked at the entry, I was very pleased by its look. The picture badge was really nice on the blog, and I even mentioned about it in my mail to Chitika. So, I had a thought: why not add some more pictures on the post?

I hunted around in Google for appropriate pictures for my posts, and found some author pictures, which I uploaded to the appropriate author pages here. These are the pages: Stephen King, John Grisham, Charles Dickens. After I put these pictures, the blog had a better look, the look of almost a professional blog itself. After this, I went to bed before long.

In the morning, when I looked at my blog, I was surprised and extremely happy to find that it had risen to PR1. How could this have happened, I had no idea. I checked in some PageRank checking websites as well, and CuteWriting is of course PR1 now. I had expected this to happen. Such careful was the SEO I did for my blog. However, it all happened after I added those pictures! Sounds interesting? In fact, somewhere I read that Google regards pictures and videos as content. So, if you add them to your site, it will be more important to Google.

So, I suggest you all to add some more pictures to your blogs, and maybe you will also be surprised to find your blog rising in rank. But this looks very illogical. How can a picture aid in PageRank at all? Maybe it’s all complete coincidence. There is also something else I did last night that might have had significance.

I went back to my older posts, and from them, linked to relevant newer posts. So, I kept up the link structure of the blog well. It seems as if this had a part to play in PR. Whatever the case, I am on my way to PR2 now. Let’s wait and see when it happens (and what makes it happen)!

I got PR4 in the recent update

Expandable Post Summaries on Blogger

By VJ
One of my readers, Chris contacted me with a question: A few days ago, when I checked your blog, it had this cute feature; there were teasers (previews) for each post, with links to expand to the full post. I have a Blogger blog myself, and I would like to implement this feature. Could you post directions for this? Thanks Chris Well, Chris, the standard term for the post teasers is Expandable Post Summaries . In self-hosted blogs, this feature is prevalent and it is also an indication of professional blog design . Or it has been made so by widespread use of this feature in professional blogs. In Blogger blogs, this feature is not available directly from the dashboard. However, a minor Blogger tweak can give you this effect. Though there is official Blogger help for this tweak, it is not rated understandable by most people. What You Should Know Before You Do This There is a catch to expandable post summaries, however, which made me get rid of this a few days ago. Through this, ...

What Is DoFollow? Guide: How to Make Blogspot Blogs Dofollow?

By VJ
Dear friends, this is a blog notification post. I have decided to make my blog, DoFollow. You will find the comment policy updated on the sidebar about this (please look at the left sidebar). [Edit: The blog is no longer DoFollow due to loads of spam comments it attracted ] Backlinks are very important for your websites. They are like votes cast by one respectable website to another, and they will greatly increase the site’s traffic. When one gets many backlinks, one’s site’s ranking in search engine results will skyrocket. Search engines use programs called search bots or web crawlers to access and index web pages. That’s how you see websites in the search results of Google and Yahoo!. If your site ranks high for any search terms related to the products you promote, you can get several potential customers (a very daunting task indeed). Now, in order for you to get business, you must rank high in search engines , and the most important thing that will help you in this is link build...
