Are you social on the web?

// February 29th, 2008 // No Comments » // Open Source, Plugins, Social Networking, Web 2.0, Web Development Software, Wordpress

Do you wanna be social? Are you social on the web? Is your website in accordance with the “social” requirements as laid out by the web 2.0 standard. Do you want to say “yeah” but are afraid of saying it as it might be wrong as you still dont know what exactly 2.0 is. OK, let me add something (thats not new off course but clarifies a little about the social aspect of the web). The web 2.0 is about the usability factor of the web. Sites like Flickr and Google calendar are a very good example of usability. Both have social factors about them. Like on Flickr, people can comment on your photos, photos that you want to share. Also you can post photos to your blog right from your Flickr account and there are dozens of good services that can be integrated with Flickr through an API provided by Flickr. It uses AJAX for making it more usable but yeah the Social Factor like submitting your photos to public groups of similar interests make it (more…)

Search Engine Optimization: Five WordPress Plugins To Make It Easier

// December 20th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Articles, Blogging Engines, General, Open Source, Plugins, SEO, Wordpress

Letting the world know about your blog is one of the trickier aspects of starting a new blog or getting people notice one that you’ve been working on. This is so-called search engine optimization or SEO. Google is the most obvious target for these efforts as it dominates the search market and is the default search engine for popular browsers like Firefox. Moreover of you open up the browser and you have nothing particular in mind, the most probable site you type in address bar is google.com yeah I know it ;) . Google rules the SEO tech world and everybosy wants to be in google SERPS (Search engine result pages).  Working around the rules that keep Google and other search engines relevant is arcane at best and at worst will result in your sites being demoted in relevance or delisted entirely. Yep that happens. I have learnt it from my best and worst SEO experiences. There are many theorists and companies that indulge in this sort of speculation and some are more successful than others at nudging search results in the ways they desire them to.

Well guys (not to mention the girls) ,  SEO is what can be called the  ” The most desirable feature/quality (whatever you name it) of a website. To me there are two points about SEO.

  •  More and more incoming links to your blog/site.
  • neat clean directory like URLs for your pages.
  • No redirections.
  • Table less structure to ensure search engines see the text version of your site easily and dont get confused with the text formating on your sit. ( Yeah its important!)
  • Quality /niche oriented / keyword specific content on a page.
