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.
The site I refer to in the video is:

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.

Tom,
It’s the one that is recommended by the MaxBlogPress team. Some of the ones listed actually go on and submit to others as well.

oh ok, great! Sometimes it is the simple things that work better than the complex.

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

Thanks for the awesome video Andrew. Love it!
Interesting that people using video this days 😀

Thanks, Latief.
Do you think video is better?
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..Blogging Guide: Increase Your Traffic and Google Crawl Rate =-.
Not sure if video is better than text but interesting, may be will become a trend in the future.
One thing I’m afraid of is about the internet connection, not all country have great speed bro.

I’ve noticed some bloggers who create videos also add the transcript of the video. Perhaps I should do that as well?
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..The Power of Blogging and Politics =-.
Yes, I have friend with a blog like that bro and that is really impressive and fair for people with limited speed internet connection bro.
Hope you put text after your video, on the next video, what do you think?

Hi Andrew,
A fabulous video, implementing now. Your approach is spot on.
Thank you so much.

Thanks, Lance.
I hope it helps.

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.

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

My problem still not fixed; thinkin it never will be.

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. 😉

Just replied to Latief saying the same thing – video and text!
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..The Power of Blogging and Politics =-.
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.
Great Mark!
I hope it helps a little.
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..The Power of Blogging and Politics =-.
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.
.-= Chris @ email subscription form´s last blog ..By: Chris =-.
Thanks Chris.
The About page can be crucial – it’s amazing how many bloggers don’t have one…then you become suspect.
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..The Power of Blogging and Politics =-.
Andrew, I just adore the way you make video’s. You have a way of explaining things like know other. It is like taking tiny baby steps for a person that is not technical. Thanks so much, again
Debbie
Thanks Debbie.
Only thing I can’t do is make people take action on my advice – that is down to them.
Andrew
.-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..The Power of Blogging and Politics =-.
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.”

Hey Andrew! Love your blog and this is a fantastic article/post too. Keep up the fantastic work and can’t wait for more great posts like this. Where about are you from by the way?
Thanks, William.

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.

Cannot argue with that!
It’s a shame so many people who go into blogging thinking they don’t have to blog!

Thanks Andrew for such a nice video. One great thing about you is your active role in the blog as I have seen that you reply each and every comment by yourself which is great. Well done.
If someone takes the time to add a comment, then I feel it is only right I take the time to response.
I hope the video helped.

I have the same problem and want to increase the Google crawl rate at my website. I really like this video and find it too helpful. It’s true that blogging is the right way to place your website in front of Google.
Thank you for sharing… and keep it up!

You are welcome and I am glad you liked the video.
Andrew
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.
Mike
How do you know if your ping list is up to date?
Andrew
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.
Sujit
Personally I think Adsense cheapens sites and many of these so-called SEO companies promise the earth and never deliver!
Andrew
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 🙂
Hasham
Being consistent in your publishing is extremly important.

First I would like to thank you for your fantastic videos. People prefer to listen and watch rather than reading.
I’m not an expert in SEO but I know upto some level as many. I have a personal blog as well as a business website. I started doing SEO and could get some visitors within few months. One of my friends asked me to change the host from Shared Hosting to VPS Hosting or Dedicated Hosting. The reason was, Shared hosting is limited and can’t manage a huge traffic. I I bought a VPS (from VPSWEBSERVER) and moved my website and blog.
What I’m trying to say it, people do not consider about these things. We all talking about SEO and Traffic. But when we have a huge traffic we don’t know how to manage it.
Andrew, I’m not good in videos and speaking, why don’t you do a video? About “VPS or Dedicated Servers to increase the Traffic”
Irosh
You only need to upgrade to a dedicated server, once you get to a high amount of traffic. Having a dedicated server will not really gain you more traffic.
