I’ve taken my guest post from www.famousbloggers.net entitled, 43 Blogger Tips – What you should do after installing WordPress and created a series of Blogging Guide videos.
This is the 7th video in my new blogging guide series and I show you how you can increase your traffic and Google Crawl Rate.

Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business.
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
I
was impressed with the excellent service.
Hi, Andrew Rondeau here and this blog, my blog, will not lie to you. I will give it to you straight.This blog is about blogging, the Internet and sharing my experiences and advice on
Ping lists are great! Is the one you listed just the basics? Because it seems quite short compared to the one that I currently use.

How do ping lists work anyway? To me, they seem like a waste of time.

A waste of time?
Takes 10 seconds and then forget it.
I believe they help get your posts indexed quicker (if used alongside other methods).

Fantastic video. Pinging to site is really a good way to bring some traffic but I read some where, too much pinging may ban your link in that service. So, we have to use this smartly.

Install the MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer plugin and it only pings when you publish a post (and not when you edit).

Andrew, this is totally new. I have never done pinging before and to be honest I never knew such a thing exists. I am glad that you choose to upload a video for the narration cause its easy to follow. Solid effort brother. I will try this on my personal blog. Finally got something to play around during this weekend.

My list is quite long, I’ll review the vid and maybe shorten ot.
Video vs. text – I prefer text or both on the same article…takes more time, but pleases more readers.

Great blogging videos Andrew! I especially like the one on writing the about page .. not a lot of marketers talk about that. I think its one of the most important factors when a visitor decides to subscribe.

The About page can be crucial – it’s amazing how many bloggers don’t have one…then you become suspect.

I can understand that. Sometimes when someone is trying to help me and I can’t figure things out as fast I do worry about them thinking I’m not trying hard enough.
I have to say when making a post now I have that down and can do it in less then 30 minute.
Just remember your help does not fall of deaf ears, so keep putting it out there.
Thanks Debbie

I’m somewhat concerned about taking this as the definitive list when Vladimir has seldom responded to the over 200 comments – several offering suggestions – and his last comment, in October 2009, was “I haven’t done it (updated) in a while, you are free to check and report back.”

Nice video, Google loves content, so the more content on a regular basis, it then knows to visit you more frequently, to get the latest stuff. Then with good linking, then Google can navigate all your your pages easily, increasing the chances of your pages being indexed.

I always make sure that the ping list is fully up to date when I do a new blog install. This is the reason WordPress blogs get spidered so quickly by google.
Great share though a lot of people don’t know this.

Google ad sense can increase website traffic to your site. There are many SEO companies that are providing seo services to business owners to increase website traffic to their sites and their main goal is to take their websites at the top of Google search engine rank.

Personally I think Adsense cheapens sites and many of these so-called SEO companies promise the earth and never deliver!

You should make an attractive and relevant blog for your business to gather quality web traffic to your site. Your content should be unique and it should have quality keywords. Simple and easy to read blog can drive huge traffic to your website. A user-friendly blog can increase website traffic to your website.

One of my biggest mistake which i made in my blogging routine was that i didn’t payed much attention on daily or weekly updating of my blog which i learned after a huge loss of traffic. so one simple and straight forward thing which i have learned is that you can increase the number of visitors on your blog to many times more than the existing rate if you are consistent in updating your site on regular or weekly basis

Thanks
