Trick to Validate Atom Feed in Blogger
Posted By Dennelton on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 | 20:25
All this time, only once I have edited my feed setting and as far as I know it has no problem. The problem appears when I tried to validate my feed to Feed Validator.
The method I have tried is transferring my feed to FeedPress and at the same time, I heard a rumor that FeedBurner will closed soon. I will not talk more about this rumor and I definitely stay in FeedBurner until it is completely closed. Howsoever, as the saying goes "take an umbrella before it rain". Back to the topic, the method is useless.
Ok, now I'm going to explain, this problem is not because of the template or from the feed setting, but the problem from blogger sites. The 'georss' is the location tag inside post, which it also serves as geo targeting.
The trick is, go to Posts like you see in the picture below, and set the element numbers to 25.
Only 25 articles that is listed in the element need to have empty location tag. After 26, you can insert the location tag. I mean, let say if you have 25 articles and you create again. Your article will be 26. So, you can insert the location tag.
Try to validate your feed on W3C or Feed Validator, you can see the word "Congratulations! This is a valid Atom 1.0 feed."
This trick only can be used before the blogger.com fix the problem. Anyway, if you have any problems please feel free to give comments and we can solve it together. :)
Malaysia: Government News Sites vs Private or Independent (Analysis 2013)
Posted By Dennelton on Friday, January 10, 2014 | 23:41

| Berita Harian |
The graph images show its metric rate clearly. Perhaps you also wonder what are the Bounch Rate, Daily Pageviews per Visition and Daily Time on Site? The Bounce rate represents the percentage of visitor entering and leaving the sites without reading the page or the blog content. Daily Page views per Visition means the average number of pages viewed by each visitor to the site every day. Whereas Daily Time on Site is the average number of minutes that spent by each visitor a day on the site.

Many private newspaper and media companies often advertise being free or independent from influence and bias. However, many of these companies and their publications are controlled by the ruling party, which may produce bias articles for their own benefit rather than informative publications. As a result, I have chosen not to list all private newspaper companies within this country that are not "transparent media", such as the Daily Express and The Borneo Post Sabah newspapers.
 |
| Astro Awani |
Based on conclusions of this analysis, I recommend news from the Sinar Harian, The Malaysian Insider and Astro Awani. As for Sabah and Sarawak state, they are no longer the best independent newspaper sites, but if you know of some, we can share your findings, information and opinions in the comments box below. Good luck and happy reading.

Why Backlink Is Very Important?
Posted By Dennelton on Sunday, January 5, 2014 | 01:19
Today I was sleepy, but it is ok. I will try to write about another SEO technique or another technique that is a Backlink. A Backlink is a link that leads one website to another website. In other words, backlink is a link that will improve your Search Engine Results Page (SERP) position in Google. The number of owned backlinks is the popularity of the site. Backlinks gives strength to compete in the Google SERP position. The next level will reinforce the keywords in your blog.
Furthermore, the popularity of the site will determine the position of the search results page on search engines, if a website getting popular then Google the PageRank value will increase. So obviously, backlinks are one of the important factors that determine the Google PageRank.
Why we should learn about backlinks?
I also confused why? If we are reading an article, we will ask, "What are the benefits of this article that I have read?" How about the following question: "If there are more backlinks, it will increase the site's Page Rank?" My answer is not necessarily because Page Rank depends on many factors. A few things will be assessed for Google about the quality of backlinks. I would not be proud if this blog had many backlinks until reach hundreds or even thousands of backlinks (if that much). Why? Because I prefer quality backlinks.
What is meant by quality backlinks for Google?
Incoming links that we have that come from other sites with similar topics or topics relating to our site are quality incoming links. When incoming links come from other sites that not connected at all with our site then the search engines will assume it's poor quality. The greater the relevance of incoming links, the greater their quality in the eyes of Google search engine. For example, if there is a site with a theme of Blog Tutorial, connected with backlinks from other sites with the theme Tips and Tricks Blogging, then the backlinks are considered to be higher quality and more relevant. However, if the site receives an incoming link from a site with the theme of Traditional Cuisine of Sabah or Mobile Technology, of course, the backlinks are not relevant and poor quality. This is what I said quality backlinks were.
What is exactly the benefit of backlinks?
A backlink is useful for increasing the popularity of a site in search engines. A backlink is also useful as a guide or path for visitors to come to our site. Where do the paths come from? Apart from search engines, visitors also come from sites that provide a direct backlink to our site.
How to get backlinks?
We can get a backlink from a variety of ways. For instance, by submitting our site to other blog/web directories. Submit your website URL to various social networking and commenting sites or blogs that we follow. Exchange links and recommend other blogs with sites already indexed by Google. Put ads on free classified websites with a higher Page Rank.
How do I put backlinks effectively?
Backlinks will have higher quality when placed in a strategic location. Of course, it is important to consider sites that accept backlinks from our site. How might others find our site when backlink is placed where people cannot easily access it? Many indicators that point to our site are in the message box, but it can be difficult to find these indicators. Well, in the case of sites with good navigation, of course this is not a problem. What does the term "placement of natural backlink links mean? Natural backlink are placements that are inserted into the content or articles and in sentences while still looking natural. Why? Google scans the text link or anchor link. Want more quality backlinks? It is recommended that you use deep linking with natural linking more focused on the page (web page) of a particular site. Usually this is the form of recommendation or source of the article we get.
Sample code to write text link:
To check your website, backlink to your blog, using a free service known as Backlink Checker which is available on internet sites. Backlink Checker has a high accuracy rate in the diagnosing of backlink on our site.
A brief description of backlinks, actually many more information about it, that we can learn to improve our visions. Because I am still learning, my knowledge about backlinks is still superficial. One thing is for sure, we should understand what is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and learn about backlinks, as it is one of the important factors to determining the Google PageRank. See you on the next tutorial which hopefully will be useful.

Tune-up Google and Alexa Page Rank with GrowURL
Posted By Dennelton on Saturday, December 28, 2013 | 08:21
Yesterday I was casually looking for a free directories site to publish my blog. This blog, I have not yet subscribed to most site directories that offer free submits because I want to find the best one. Then I found Growurl.com website, which also offers free publications, I was not impressed but what's wrong with trying. From that site, then I know if GrowUrl.com can promote our site to hundreds of classified ads sites, directories, blogs, and email. This expects for increase traffic to our site and for those who are interested will certainly put a backlink to our blog. When our blogs start to get popular, of course Alexa Ranking and Google Page Rank will also rise.
In GrowUrl also have trial version, but if you want your ad to be send over many sites, I recommend signing up. Unfortunately, to be a member you have to pay. If I'm not wrong about RM13 equal 4 USD. However, no need to worry; we can also claim the free credit growurl.com.
Once I register, the result is good; my blog is everywhere, meaning what? Once we register our blog at Growurl, then Growurl will submit our blog to hundreds of classifieds sites and blog directories. As a result, our blog will be famous and will even automatically rise up Alexa Rank. Lucrative, free to get traffic.
The story is like this, you have a beautiful trinket, which many famous shops and supermarkets want offer you to put your gadget there. So, your goods will sell quickly, or at least there are some visitors who take a glance. Similarly in blogging, imagine that you have a blog with a beautiful template and interesting content, but you do not know how to get visitors, it will be just useless, right? Thus, frequently seek for information from google about SEO.
Back to GrowURL, I strongly encourage you to register your blog on GrowURL, besides that, DMOZ and Technorati is certainly the most important. Registering is free, then you wait and see the results a few weeks later.

SEO and the Benefits For Blog
Posted By Dennelton on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 | 00:14
In this article, I was supposed to write this topic when I first got on the internet and blogs. Although it was late it's ok, the most important thing is sharing with my friends. Actually, I don't understand much about SEO, I wrote this just based on experience and information that is already available on the internet. Beforehand, I did not understand at all what SEO is. I created a blog and never thought this blog would cause more actions so important that I would have to write and write. Eventually I realized that people could know the existence of my blog on the internet. That question was finally answered as well.
What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Through SEO, we can improve the site's ranking on the Search Engine blog or Search Engines. In addition, the search engine is a machine to track the whereabouts of a blog site with keywords. For example, you type keywords TVOKM in the search engine www.google.com, you can see the result in the image below.
From the picture above, you can see this blog on page 1 sequence with the keywords, TVOKM. Let say, if there is other website that use keyword TVOKM, my blog will be displayed? Ah, not really.
How do people know the existence of the blog site?
There are many ways to know the existence of blog site on the internet. I tend to use the two most important and influential ways. Firstly, through search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines. The second way is through the instructions or references obtained from other sites in the form of links - known as backlinks - that point to your site or blog.
Do we need to Learn SEO?
The problem now is how to get and keep your blog on the first page, or at least in the top five pages of search engine results such as Google or Yahoo via by a certain keyword. The above question can be answered with the necessity of learning SEO. However, should all the owners of blogs and websites on the internet have to learn SEO? In my opinion, SEO is more important for a blog site aimed at business or monetization. In other words, SEO needs to be studied by the owner of the blog site that is specialized in commercialization. With blogs, you can monetize them by having people read articles. If the blog site sells a product, of course, learning SEO is very important. Bloggers that create a blog just as a hobby and for the fun of writing it, then SEO is not very important. I think it's quite okay to just learn SEO alone. However, bloggers that have a business blog need to learn SEO more deeply.

After writing about improving Alexa PR for newbies, I will now give more tips about Alexa. Write as many articles as you can about Alexa, because it will help you get higher level on your blog. Many blog writers or users surf the web using Alexa to increase their blog page rank. Do you know what Alexa Rank is? It is most likely that many new bloggers still don't know about the Alexa ranking system. According to some sources, Alexa PR is a website or blog level created by Alexa. The bottom line is to see the total amount of visitors to your website or blog. Many uses Alexa to find the blog, from the rank are low or high.
The smaller the number showed on Alexa, the larger the stage of our blog. So with the Alexa Widget used with our blog, the better we are able to monitor our blog page rank. However, how important is the Alexa ranking on our blog?
According to my research, Alexa Page Rank could be a useful benchmark for our blog to find out how popular the blog is to our visitors. A higher rank on Alexa's measurement system will it show that we have been collecting many interesting articles that entertain our visitors. If you are interested in one article on a blog, you certainly will remember the blog address and title of the article that you like.

Google Page Rank And The Benefits
I will tell one thing to all my friends, if I actually had a couple of blogs and my blogs are set such that relate to each other. After successfully increase google page rank on some of my blogs. So, I thought it would not hurt me to share some tips or ways that I use to increase page rank on the blog and to my friends, especially for a new venture into the world of blogging and interested to make money on the internet. Well, before I give the tips, might be good if we know in advance, what is the google page rank and the benefits.
Based on the explanation from Wikipedia, Page Rank is a tool created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to determine which sites are more popular and are eligible to appear on the main page of the google search engine. Page rank is calculated from 0-10. The higher the page rank, the more popular your site in search engine pages.
The Benefits of Page Rank for Bloggers
Blogs that have higher page rank will usually get a better position on the search engine page than a blog that has a lower page rank. For example: A site that has a Page Rank of 9 will be sorted first on Google search pages than with sites that have a page rank of 8 and below. The possibility of a site visit by a user on the Internet is huge. For this reason, it is easier for advertisers to promote its product or services on the sites that have a high page rank than with a low one. In other words, the higher the page rank of your blog, the easier it is for you to make money on the internet.
How does Google determine the page rank of a website?
There are many ways to use the Google search engine to determine the ranking of a website. The use of Meta Tags puts an emphasis on content or unique content, inbound links, and other techniques. Link popularity is a technique which was developed to correct deficiencies in the Meta Tags technique (Meta Keywords, Meta Description) that can be used to design a page dedicated to a search engine called Doorway Pages.
PageRanks has a similar concept of link popularity, which considers the "amount" of inbound and outbound links only. Also, PaeRanks assesses the quality of links pointing to a site. For example, TVOKM sites link one site that has PageRank of 2 and WFMMV sites link two sites that have PageRank of 1. So, a site that gets great results is a site TVOKM and etc. Actually, Google has its own formula to calculate the page rank of a website, using very complicated calculations. So, I will not put it here. For those of you who want to know the formula, ask teacher wiki.com. This the addresses Page Rank.
