Get Your Blog A Better Ranking With Google

Blogging is all the rage today right? Every person from the Average Joe to celebrities seems to have a blog now. And you probably do too. But do you wish you could get more out of your blogging experience than just a place to vent your feelings and offer your opinions? Have you read about making money through your blog? If so, then you probably know that the first step in bringing in any income from your blog is to beef up your amount of readers and the easiest way to do that is to make your blog as easily found as possible. This means that you need to get your blog to show up on search results in Google as close to the top as possible. But how do you do that? How do you increase your rank in the world’s most popular search engine? You create permalinks, which are customized to your blog.

So, just what exactly are permalinks? Well, they are actually permanent links to each and every one of your blog posts (not just links from an RSS feeder or your main blog page). These permanent links actually contain your post’s title, which means that a person can read the title of the article in his or her browser’s status bar when he or she simply hovers over the link (instead of the seeing the url, which is the normal option). Besides making it easier for users to see what a link actually links to, permalinks are what search engine bots use to catalog and classify blog posts. Browsers also take advantage of these links when trying to find the way to remote Web pages.

So, permalinks are very good things to have, but how do you create them? Actually, most blogging programs and Web sites automatically make them for you using the tile of your blog post. For instance, WordPress uses the blog post tile, but simply replaces each space in the title with a hyphen. Even though WordPress creates your permalinks automatically, you do have an option to edit them. You can make it so your permalinks read however you choose, which is great when you have a long and elaborate title that may not be very descriptive of what the post is actually about. Moreover, WordPress lets you make what users read and search engine bots read different if you so desire, which gives you a lot of freedom with your permalinks.

Thus, if you want to increase your income by increasing your readership, start editing your permalinks. Using concise, yet descriptive, permalinks is the best bet when trying to increase your ranking on Google. This is because both readers and search bots will better understand what your posts are about and be able to find what they are looking for in your blog more readily and easily. Thus, what are you waiting for? Start blogging today and make sure you have easily accessible and understandable permalinks for each and every single one of your blog posts!
