Google your Blog title!

What do you see when you key in your blog title in Google?

I did that yesterday and was quite pleasantly surprised to find out that the first result which directs to the home page of my blog showed up 8 sub results below it! (I think it’s a good sign for a site and was quite happy about it Cool).

From the total number of results on the search page, 4 were directly from my site. 2 were from connect.in and 1 from digg, bloglovin, addyourblog and wepostalot each. None from Indiblogger though Frown

Anyways, What about you? Have you tried googling your blog name ever? How many pages does the search result throw up from your site? How many from other sites and which sites are they? If you have never done that, do it right away and do Share the results Smile

A "rumbaho" google search gives a great result for my site. just one other site on page 1 of google; remaining links are all mine.

But who the hell will search for "rumbaho" besides me?

Adding a space "rumba ho" completely changes everything. I only have 4 links on google's first page WITH the space.

Ah! The most unique name I think I have heard so far! No wonder all the results are yours :) BTW, What does rumbaho mean or intend to mean?

does not matter, once your site becomes popler people will remember the spelling and working correctly because that will be their turn to think and act not your. think positive and keep blogging. You do what you gotta do with your best efforts and traffic will come along. Hope for the best .

thanks for the encouragement, all. :o)

Rumba Ho is from the Usha Uthup song. Though the song is originally spelt as Ramba Ho.

I was very happy that I had over 2000 visits in the last 4 months. But then I did some research:

Out of my 4000 hits, around 10-15% are mine, another 10-15% are spiders, around 5-10% from other leech sites that have taken my feed to add to their search results and most of the remaining 50% or so is spam. Thats what my stats data tells me anyway.  My REAL visitors count is barely around 200 in the last 4 months.

Some serious popularity, eh?  LOL

Oh! ya..ya, i remember that song! So you are an Usha Uthup fan Laughing Very interesting choice, i must say!

What is the name of your blog?

I suppose people hardly come to your site by googling your blog name, unless of course you are a very famous blogger. It's more to give satisfaction to ourselves only by seeing so many results pointing to our blogs :P

Thnx subhash ji,

so the  new stas are My facebook page is still on 4

but my blog is on 7 th

can anyone of you just help me to be on top

Pratik Thorat

SubhashChy

i can do that yes, What i can do is give you an idea as to what can put it to TOP. However that is tough like climbing everest.

You have 105,000,000 compititors for this keyword, coming on top of them has to be difficult, right ?

 

So, here is what you need. You need something around 100  Backlinks from top sites (At least PR2+) linking to your domain with the anchor text keyword "update yourself" . ANd that even cannot say for how long it will stay on top. if you want to on top, you have to keep increasing back links backlinks backlinks.

 

Get it ? I would say concentrate on blogging more than keeping this keyword in google on top. if your contents are good, you will get to this position shortly.

How to get this back-links from top sites, also I have doubt that I want to transfer my blog to WordPress so I just wanted to know that blog on wordpress.com is better or I host it on any webhosting site.

Thnx in advance.

good question. well, it depends.

If you are going to move to wordpress.com subdomain. you won't be able to install any plugins or customize anything much more than that is avilable inbuilt. 

Give me 3 reasons why you want to move to wordpress ? it will help me to give you advice whether to go for wordpress.com or hosting. Don't worry. be honest. we all are on same ship so nothing to hide at all.

 

I am happy to see you are ready for your blog. now getting back links is very easy : Read others blogs (Old blogs useually have good Ranks) and comment on them (If possible use something like "Pratik @ update yourself" or something similer as name instead of just putting your own name. it will help a bit as well.  if you put some good comment you will get links and visitors as well..

Guest posting is another way of getting back links, write for others, you will get exposre and good back links as well.

Comment on similar niche Blogs but always leave genuine comments and not spammy comments:)

The reasons are

1) I want to add some Writers to the blog.

2) I can make categories and subcategories in WordPress which cannot in blogger.

3) I can use many widgets and many custom pages also themes on WordPress.

you can go with the wordpress.com blog then, the reasons you mentioned can be achived in wordpress.com as well. no need to pay for self hosted. however, wordpress.com will not allow you to rediirect your visitors from blogger to wordpress.com domain nither you will be able to get your followers back, as it needs plugins (Plugins cannot be installed in wordpress.com.

When I type techpiper, my blog appears first in the list and since I have added the sitemaps tool,it appears as a neat 2 row search result.

And when ever someone types masterofmedicine, my blog appears 3rd/4th after some medical universities.

The tag line I have chosen is: Tales from India's Wilds. However, I am not sure if many peopel are going to search using that. So I guess, even though it came up on top in the search (I just checked), I don't think it would be of much use?

 

I guess more important is how many people search using important posts on your blog and the number of connections, RSS feeds etc. 

Arti
from Mumbai
13 years ago
Yes people will not come searching for that but people might search India Wild Animals and google will throw your blog because your blog name contains those words... So choosing words which are likely to be searched helps:)

My blog name was at the top and on the entire first page, listing ALL the blog posts I have written. The first page was entirely mine with my FB, Linkedin and Twitter ids listed. and thereafter a US architectural firm by the name of Cybernag came in twice in the second page. There were other pages with my blog name or linkbacks to my blog. I kept going up to page 43 of google search and kept finding my blog listed in some form or the other. Not bad, eh?
