Content Isn’t King… Here’s What Is!

Over the years I’ve heard many debates in the blogosphere about what is ‘king’.

‘Blogging is King’ was something many argued almost 10 years ago as it began to rise in popularity.

‘Content is King’ was the catch cry for many years… then it became ‘Community is King’ for a while as community management became the big thing.

‘Twitter is King’ was something I heard a number of bloggers crying (as they gave up their blogs to get onto Twitter), ‘Facebook is King’ was the cry a few years later when setting up pages there was the cool thing to do. YouTube was king for a while, and more recently some have argued for Instagram, Pinterest and other social networks being King.

Customize and Style Read more (Jump Break) option in Blogger

Blogger has finally rolled out the Jump Breakfeature which will add a “Read more” link to every posts if every step is done correctly. That is a great news but if style matters then you have to put some more effort to edit, customize and style it.

There can be so many reasons for why you want to edit the Jump Break link. Within this post I will try to cover most of the reasons and solve most of the problems as far as possible, let us see those.

Fix Auto Jump after clicking Read more Link

Blogger team has solved a great problem by enabling “Jump Break” feature but you may have seen that when the “Read more” link is clicked, it takes to the post of course, but the page jumps to the line after the jump-break has been applied. If you think that it disturbs you and your readers as well then edit the code and fix this by this simple step.

Go to Template tab of your Blogger blog, click “Edit HTML”, check the “Expand Widget Templates” check-box and find the below code:

    <b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
      <div class='jump-link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.url + &quot;#more&quot;' expr:title='data:post.title'><data:post.jumpText/></a>
      </div>
    </b:if>

Within this find and delete this snippet:

+ "#more"

The full code will look like:

    <b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
      <div class='jump-link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title'><data:post.jumpText/></a>
      </div>
    </b:if>

Change the “Read more” Text

If you have followed how to add Read more link in Blogger and create post summaries then you must have find out how to change the default text. But if you still prefer to do it manually then just replace<data:post.jumpText/> with your custom text, example:

    <b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
      <div class='jump-link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title'>Continue reading!</a>
      </div>
    </b:if>

Add Image Instead of Read more Link

There can be so many ways to add image instead of the default “Read more” text of Jump Break, here I will explin the simple one. So same as above example again delete <data:post.jumpText/> and add your image here, example:

    <b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'> 
      <div class='jump-link'> 
        <a expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title'><img src='http://image-URL.png'/></a> 
      </div> 
    </b:if >

Styling the Jump Break Link

If you want it to be simple but more prominent then you can add some styling codes to the Jump Break by using CSS properties without altering the orignal codes, for example, copy paste the below codes before]]></b:skin> and see how it will looks:

.jump-link a {
 padding: 5px;
 background: #3399bb; /* Have a background colour otherwise delete it */
 color: #ffffff; /* Link colour */
}
.jump-link a:hover {
 background: #666; /* Background colour on hover otherwise delete it. */
 color: #fff; /* Changing the link colour on hover */
 text-decoration: none;
}

Try changing the highlighted colour hex codes and see if it matches with your template style. If you want, then check out the demo.

Demo

However, adding CSS with not change the auto jump. Any thing more you want to know about Jump Break?

Double Your Blog Traffic with Long Tail Keywords

Are you having trouble ranking in the search engines or increasing your overall blog traffic?

If so, maybe it’s time you stop focusing on generic keywords ad start to explore the world of long tail keywords using long tail pro.

What are long tail keywords you ask?

Here’s a simple way to explain it… “wordpress” is a generic search term. If you search for it in Google you will find various topics. Now if you were to search for “free wordpress installation service”, that’s a long tail keyword and if you search for it, you know exactly what you are looking for.

What are long tail keywords better than generic keywords?

Easy! 

Not only are they much easier to rank for, but they are super targeted in comparison to generic keywords.

Let’s use “wordpress” again as an example and see how it stacks up in comparison to other long tail variations of the keyword when using Google Keyword Tool.

What you can learn from this is that you can write articles, format titles and focus the efforts of your backlink building to these terms and have a much better chance at ranking in the search results.

Yes, many of these keywords have a low amount of search volume, but they are much more targeted.

If someone is searching for “wordpress setup service” you can be they are looking to have a wordpress blog setup!

Find the Best Long Tail Keywords with Long Tail Pro

One of my favorite software programs out there is called Long Tail Pro, which allows you to look up long tail keywords. It works much like Google Keyword Tool but it also provides you with an competition score, which tells you how hard or easy it will be for you to rank in the search results.

You can see a screenshot of the Long Tail Pro results below, using the same keywords we mentioned above.

You can see from the chart above that some of these keywords are very easy to rank for. Easy to rank for keywords are in the 20-30 range, medium competition is in the 30-40 range and anything above 50 is quite competitive.

Again, it is important to note that the volume on these search phrases is low, but if you were able to rank on the first page for some of these terms, you would be bringing in some very highly targeted traffic to your site month after month.

Also if you do the work to target high paying keywords, such as “hosting” related keywords, this could result in a few hundred to a few thousands extra dollars per months.

This is one of the major reasons why it’s important to look at the overall value of your long term keywords and not just the amount of people who are searching for the keywords in a given month.

It provides better search results for the people using Google, and especially for the advertisers of the search engine as well.

Just take a look at the screenshot below and see how Google lists a bunch of long tail variations for you to choose from at the bottom of each search page.

How To Get Traffic To A New Blog ?

Why?

Because they don’t follow few tips which has to be followed to Get Traffic to A New Blog . 

How can any blogger Get Traffic to A New Blog?

Though there are many ways to Get Traffic to A New Blog, the most important factor is NETWORK. The more network you have the more traffic you’ll get.

The best way to build a network around your blog is: start interacting with others using

Following are some EXCEPTIONAL ways to bring traffic to a new blog (0r) any blog.

Facebook: Join in Groups.. Promote yourself out there.. BTW facebook alone is giving me 100+ leads daily (even without promoting everyday!). Ammar Ali is also getting huge traffic from Facebook  . So don’t neglect bringing Facebook traffic to your blog.

4. Spend time on writing detailed articles.

Never assume that you can bring quality traffic without much efforts.

You need to differentiate yourself with others to become successful. It takes time to create content, I agree but you shouldn’t spend whole time creating only normal or average 600 words posts.

Spend time to create great content.

Write detailed posts with 1000 or 1500+ words once in a while. If you’re not a full time blogger like me, at least try to create detailed posts once or twice a month.

So that you can grab others attention and you can show your blogging expertise to your readers.

It’s really important for you to create killer articles regularly to survive in blogosphere. This can bring your quality traffic from other sites or search engines.

4. Don’t forget SEO

Most people say forget about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) when you’re just starting out.

I think that’s the dumbest suggestion!

You need to focus on what keywords to use and how much keyword density you should maintain in your content to get search engine traffic to your blog.

It’s extremely important to bring organic (search engine) traffic to your blog. Because it’s free and highly effective!

Make sure that you’re not keyword stuffing your content. It makes your readers hard to digest what you’re saying in your articles.

And do proper keyword analysis before you’re writing the articles. Then embed them into your posts. If you’re a beginner then this is enough! Don’t go beyond, you’ll better understand about SEO when you’re spending more time on blogging.

Conclusion:

Always try to retweet and promote your fellow bloggers before asking them to promote your content. This can make others to promote your content sooner or later and you will have high chances of getting their attention if they find it useful. 

I dint recommend guest blogging here in this post. Major reason is without having any online reputation you can’t cope up with other bloggers to get accepted your guest posts. When they reject you, you’ll feel down to submit another guest post to them.

So, focus on building a network by blog commenting, writing great stuff and social media networking using above tips.
