How To Avoid Google Penalties ?

Bloggers and webmasters who create blogs and websites know about Google penalties. Google gives penalty to the blogs or websites which create any kind of spam. We all work hard to create a website that could rank high in Google search results and get us some good traffic. But if we willingly or unwillingly do some activities that Google doesn't like then we might face a Google penalty. Before going any further we want to clear the term "Google penalty" so that all of our users can understand actually what is Google penalty ?

What is Google Penalty ?

Google penalizes or gives penalty to all those sites that create spam, linked in spamming activities, try negative SEO techniques to rank high in Google, provides very low quality content or copied content, malwares etc. Google uses algorithms that checks quality of a site and the two most common algorithms are called Panda and Penguin algorithms. These algorithms automatically check the sites for quality and penalize sites for spamming and providing low quality content. The penalties could be minor or major. If a website faces a penalty then as a result of it, it will face some issues like - some drop in rankings, not ranking at all in Google search results or even the site could be totally De-indexed from Google. Almost every site faces Google penalty whether it could be a big site or small but as Google works for providing quality to its users, so, site owners also maintains their site for ranking high in Google. So, its better if we could first understand about the most common algorithms used by Google to check quality of a site and also the penalties associated with them. So, our first very common algorithm that almost affects all sites on internet is Google Panda Algorithm.

What is Panda Algorithm?

Google Panda is an algorithm that evaluates the quality of a website. Google call it a "Quality Algorithm", which determines whether a website is providing quality content or not. If a website provides low quality content that is duplicate or repetitive content, copied content, thin content (extremely less content), missing site-wide information like contact page etc then Panda algorithm considers the site as a low quality site and assigns it a low quality score, which makes it difficult for a site to rank high or even rank in Google search results. The penalty given by this algorithm is called Google Panda Penalty. The affects of this penalty could be, your site will face a big traffic decline, your post or pages will face difficulty in rankings, your specific posts could be De-indexed from search results etc.

Now, the other very common algorithm used by Google is Google Penguin Algorithm.

What is Penguin Algorithm ?

Google penguin algorithm is an algorithm which checks the quality of links that is whether a link created is solely a genuine or natural link or it is just created to manipulate the search results. Any link created with the purpose of increasing the rank in Google results is considered as the violation of Google webmaster guidelines. This includes negotiating link exchanges, paid links, automatic links created by SEO tools etc. The penalty given by this algorithm is called a Penguin Penalty. The affects of Google Penguin Penalty could be, sharp drop in rankings, De-Indexed pages or site etc. To find out whether your site has been De-Indexed or not, you can simply search it on Google as mentioned below:

• Go to Google.com
• Then enter site:www.yourwebsitename.com and click on search tab.
• If the resulting page is your website's homepage then you don't have to worry about anything otherwise your site has been penalized by Google.

If you want to check whether on some specific keyword your site is ranking or not then simply follow the below steps:

• Go to Google.com 
• Then enter "site:www.yourwebsitename.com keyword" in the search bar and click on search tab.
• If Google returns your pages then everything is fine otherwise you will be facing penalty on specific keyword.

So, these are the two major algorithms and penalties associated with them. But, Google also gives another penalty called manual penalty, which is given manually to sites.

What is Manual Penalty ?

Manual penalty is a manual action taken against your site, this could be a result of violation of Google webmaster Guidelines, which includes selling links, unnatural links, cloaking(serving different content to Google and user) . This penalty can also cause drop in rankings, De-Indexation of pages and website etc.

How To Avoid These Penalties ?

You can avoid these penalties easily by following the below steps:

• Write high quality content.
• Write at least 400-500 words articles.
• Do not purchase or sell links.
• Do not copy others content.
• Do not create duplicate articles or the articles that are almost duplicate to other articles present on your site.
• If your site's niche is something like that forces you to write duplicate content then simply try to increase your post length with some different keywords.
• Do not use excessive links or affiliate links, if your site provides excessive affiliate links then use nofollow attribute for your links.

An example of nofollow attribute: <a href="http://howdon.org" rel="nofollow">HowDon</a>

Note: Nofollow attribute tells the Google bots not to count these links for ranking.

• If you are providing high number of external links then try to back them by enough content.
• Do not provide anything like script or code that could be considered as spam.
• Do not infringe copyrights or patents.

How To Search Copyright Free Images For Your Blog ?

We always try to find best images for our blogs that can make our blog attractive because a good looking blog always gets the visitors attention. People love to visit sites that look attractive, provide good content and offer a simple and convenient user interface. But nowadays search engines do not like any kind of copyrights infringement and also ad networks like Google Adsense, Tribal Fusion etc which have very strict terms also not like copyright infringement. Most of the new bloggers do not focus on image copyright issues which can affect them in terms of Google's search rankings or denial of their publishers application on Google Adsense or on some other network. More than that some companies do not like their images to be copied by someone so they can even claim for them. So, its better to search free images which are labeled for reuse and do not infringe any copyrights. So, now a question arises, Where to find free images ?

Where To Find Free Images ?

Since search engines do not like copyright infringements so, they also provide a way to deal this issue. Nowadays, search engines are providing free images that are labeled for reuse. They simply offer some filters that you can use to search the images for yourself. They offer some filters like image labeled for public use, labeled under public domain or free to reuse. Here, we will talk about two major search engines that are providing this service. So, first we start with Google:

How To Search Free Images On Google ?

Searching a free image on Google is very easy and doesn't take your much time. The all you have to do is to,

• Go to Google.com
• Then Click on Images.
• Then search your required image.
• Now you will see an option called Search Tools.
• Simply click on Search Tools option as shown in screenshots.
• Now click on Usage Rights.
• Then you will see some options but since we are talking about free images only so, click on labeled for reuse.

• Then Google will show you only those images that are in public domain that is images free for reuse.
• You can select other options like images labeled for reuse with modification, labeled for non commercial reuse etc.

Now, lets talk about our other major giant.

How To Search Free Images On Bing ?

The process here is also very similar to Google,

• First go to Bing.com
• Then click on images.
• Now search your desired image by entering your keyword.
• Now, here you will also find an option called License.
• Then simply click on License.
• Now, again you will find some options like public domain, free to use and share etc.
• Then simply click on public domain or free to use and share option to search your copyright free images.

Another way of searching free images for your blog is, you can search images on some free image sharing sites. One of the best site that we also use is Pixabay.com.

Search Free Images On Pixabay:

Pixabay is especially designed for searching free images. So, all you have to do is to enter your keyword to search images of your choice. Since all images on Pixabay are free, so, you don't have to use any filters to search free images.

How To Refresh Old Articles Of Your Blog ?

Photo Courtesy: www.pixabay.com

Old articles are like old pillars of a home, which holds the base of your house. You can renovate them to make your home stronger but if you remove them without a proper replacement then your home cannot stand even for a single second. Similarly our old articles are the base of our blog and they also need to be either refreshed or to be replaced with a better article that can take its place. Internet is running very fast, everyday new bloggers are writing attractive contents and making the competition tough for the pro bloggers. So in such case if you are not refreshing your content then you are definitely going to loose a huge traffic from your site. Keeping your content fresh is not a very tough task and if you are keeping it fresh by updating them with necessary updates then you can again give the life to your old articles.

Refreshing article is also important because search engines also want to be updated with time and they also try to give the fresh and best results to its users. So keeping the content fresh has become a necessity for bloggers and for this we need a proper strategy. So lets discuss some points that you should keep in mind while refreshing your old articles.

Before we start discussing about the ways to refresh the old articles, we would like to discuss three important questions that might help you later in the article, these are:

• Why it is important to refresh old articles ?
• How to select articles to refresh ?
• What is the optimum time period to routine check an article for refreshment ?

 So let we discuss these questions one by one in brief:

Why it is important to refresh old articles ?

Refreshing old article is important because with the time everything changes, so if your article is about a service, tool or any other information then with time there is possibility that it might have changed over the time. So if your article is not meeting the current needs and requirements then it is of no use for anyone either it is your website visitors or you. Also an old article can increase the Bounce rate of your blog because if a visitor comes to your blog/website and doesn't find the matter that he/she is looking for, then he/she will quickly leave your site, which will result in a high bounce rate for your blog which is not good for your Google page rank as well as Alexa rankings.

How to select articles to refresh?

To select an article for refreshment, you should focus on few small things:

• First use any traffic monitoring tool like Google Analytics, Clicky, Piwik, Histats etc to check the traffic of different pages of your blog.
• Now in your traffic monitoring tool look for the old article that are receiving huge traffic. 
• Select these articles first because if they have irrelevant content or old information that is of no use then they will definitely increase your blog's bounce rate.
• Also these are the articles that are still receiving some traffic for you so keeping them refresh can also increase the chances of getting more visitors to your blog.
• After these articles, select the article that are receiving moderate and low traffic.
• Try to select low traffic articles at last because they require more work than the articles that are receiving good or high traffic. Also there is more possibility that these articles are of no use at present date. If that's the case then simply delete the article and make your website fast loading.

What is the optimum time period to routine check your article for refreshment ?

• You can routine check your article in every three months to ensure that if something changes by night then you do not loose much traffic. However if possible, try to check your articles in every two months.

Now we think we have discussed enough about importance of refreshing an article, selection procedure and time duration to routine check your article. So now its time to discuss the ways to refresh an article. Below are the following steps that you can follow to keep your content fresh and up to date:

Check Articles For Errors:

While refreshing an article, first check the grammatical errors, spellings mistakes because these are the mistakes that we often do. So if you are refreshing your article and giving it your valuable time then try to remove every possible errors from it.

Update Article:

This is the most important step in the process, update your article with any necessary details, try to make it updated. For example: If your article is about any tool and a new version of that tool is available now so update it with the details of the new version of that tool.

Add Few Extra Lines:

Try to add few extra lines in your article, and mainly focus on giving the keywords in those lines. This can bring the life to your old article.

Link Your Old Articles To New Ones:

As a blogger we keep writing articles on regular basis, so our article's directory keeps on increasing. So, look at your old article and try to track the keywords for which you have new articles. Link those keywords to new articles and also add few more articles links by giving also read, recommended articles etc. to reduce the bounce rate of your blog.

Link Your New Articles To New Ones:

This is opposite of what we have discussed in our previous step but it is also an important step. Try to link your new articles with old ones so that every article of your blog get some visitors and also it will help you to increase the number of page views of your blog.

Optimize Images:

As we already said internet is getting faster in every aspect and we all learn with time, so check out your old images whether they are too heavy or making your website slow. If this is the case then download those images and use a good image compressor to reduce the size of image and then again upload them to make your website fast.

Remove Irrelevant Or Old Information that is of no use:

Try to remove all irrelevant or outdated information from your articles and fill it up with the new and more detailed  information.

Share Your Article On Social Networks:

This is another very important step as it can also bring life to your old articles, once you update an article then share them on social networks. Since we all the power of social networks so we don't think we need to describe it. ☣

How Alexa Ranks a Blog/Website ?

• Alexa consider various factors to rank a blog such as number of visitors, page views, bounce rate, visitors location etc.
• But the main thing is that Alexa counts only those visitors who have Alexa toolbar installed in their web browsers. So to rank high in Alexa rankings your blog must be visited by the visitors who have Alexa toolbar installed in their browser.
• Alexa toolbar not only shows the ranks of blogs/websites but it also sends the information about the sites to the Alexa's central server, which then uses that information to calculate the rank of a website.

So now we hope you have got your answer. If not, then read the next point.

Why Webmasters/SEO Blogs Rank High In Alexa Rankings ?

• So the answer of this question is that webmasters/ SEO blogs are mostly visited by the users who have same kind of blogs and hence most of the visitors visiting those blogs already have Alexa toolbar installed in their web browsers. And that is the reason why their blogs rank high in Alexa rankings.

So for getting your BSNL broadband user Id and Password dial 1504 (BSNL Broadband Customer Care Number) from your land line phone and ask the customer care executive for your Broadband user id and password. If possible he/she will provide you your broadband id and password.

By Guessing It By Yourself:

As we have already discussed the format of BSNL broadband user id in first method and also we know that the default password is "password" itself so it is not difficult to guess the BSNL broadband user id.
Since we know the format which is:

[Two Characters][STD code without zero][Your Phone Number][Underscore][Some BSNL Code]

So, the first thing we need to figure out is Two Characters.

How To Find These two characters ?

The first two characters of your BSNL broadband user id is generally the first two letters of the name on which land line is registered.

For example: If somebody has a Land line connection with the name "Ajay Singh"then his broadband user id's first two characters would be "aj". Make sure to write these letters in small letters/lower case because all letters in BSNL broadband id are in Lower Case.

Now the Second Field is STD Code, so if you have a land line connection then it is obvious that you know your city's STD code. So from the STD code remove the first number which is generally zero.

For example: Suppose your city's STD code is 0562, so remove the zero from it and use the last three letters that is 562.

Now our Third Field, which is Phone Number. There is no need to discuss it because we all know our phone numbers. So here we are taking an example of phone number so that we can use it to show you how your user id will look like after filling up all the fields.

Sample Phone number: 2212XX7 

Now the Last field, which is BSNL Code, generally they use "ncdr" at the end of the broadband user id but if it doesn't works for you then you can ask the code from any friend living near by you who is using BSNL broadband. Generally BSNL gives the same code to all users for a particular region / area.

So after filling up all the fields from our examples our newly generated BSNL Broadband User id will look like : aj5622212XX7_ncdr

How To Use A Flash File On Website ?

In previous article we have discussed about how to save a flash file from a particular blog or website to your desktop. So this is the time to know how to use it on your own blog/website. Using a flash file is as tricky as downloading it but again we would say that its not a difficult task. So for using a flash file on our own blog or website we first require its URL so that we can put some code around it to make it suitable for our website. You can get the URL of the flash files in two ways:

• As in our previous article we described you the method to save it onto your desktop and in that method we were taking out the URL of the flash file from the website by viewing the source code. So you can use that URL but we do not recommend this method because if the site owner deletes the file from its database then your flash file will also stop working so its better to use the second approach but if you don't want a long process and want to show the flash file on your website or blog just for few days or a short span of time then you can use this approach.
• The other method is that you generate the URL of your saved flash file by yourself so that it will remain active till you delete it. So if you want to generate the URL of your flash file by yourself then you can read the below article:

>>How To Generate URL For A Flash File ?

Now we consider that you have your URL ready so lets code it to use on your blog/website. We are providing the simple code that you can paste in your website where you want to show the flash file.

<embed align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" height="250" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.buzzbuttons.com/BUTTON3/twitbutton.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250"></embed>

Customizations:

Now in the above code replace the given flash file URL with your own flash file URL, shown in blue. And to change the height and width of the flash file simply change the height and width values shown in red.

So now you have the code just place it wherever you want the flash file to appear on your blog or website.

Kruti Dev 010 Fonts Not Working In My Browser- How To Fix It ?

So you have downloaded and installed the Kruti Dev 010 Fonts (Hindi Fonts) but still you are not able to see the content in your browser and also not able to figure out the problem. So let us tell you the solution of this problem, actually this is not the problem with your PC, window or in font style itself but the problem is in browser. It is a compatibility issue rather than issue with anything else.

Basically our new browser versions do not support this font style and hence they are not showing it even after installing the fonts. Yesterday while surfing the net we found this issue with a website where the content is not shown properly because of incompatibility issue, the site was asking for downloading the Kruti Dev 010 fonts to show the content correctly but even after downloading it we were not able to see the content. Then first thing we tried that we checked our font directory to ensure whether we have installed the font correctly or not.

While checking our font directory we found that it is correctly installed and PC is showing no issues with it. Then we tried different browsers to see it whether it is working with any one of them but again we found that no browser is showing the content. After that we tried it with compatibility mode in Internet Explorer then we found that our problem is resolved and we could see the content properly.

So this is a case of compatibility issue and if you are the one who is facing the same problem then you can run the website which requires Kruti Dev 010 fonts in Internet explorer with compatibility view mode and also with other browsers by adding an extension in them but if you don't know how to set the compatibility View Mode in browsers then you can follow the below links:

How To Set Compatibility View Mode In Internet Explorer ?

Sometimes while surfing the net we visit some sites that are not compatible with our browsers and they start showing that Browser Not Supported. The actual problem with these sites is that they are designed for older versions of the browsers but when browser developing companies develop new browsers that have additional features or if they change a feature completely then the sites that supports older version of browser starts showing this error.

One more case that we found while surfing the net is the problem with some font styles mainly with those font styles which are of different language like Hindi fonts, Arabic fonts etc. While we were surfing an Indian government website we found that our browser is not supporting the Hindi fonts written in it and the site is suggesting us to download some specific Hindi font to view that content, we downloaded it and installed in our computer but even after installing the fonts the problem remained the same. So we tried to figure out the problem and what we found is that the font supports the older version of the browser, so for viewing the content of that website we require older versions of our browser.

So we have two options either we uninstall our new browser (which we do not recommend) or run our new browser in compatible mode so that it can support the websites that are compatible with older version. The solution of this problem is our old Internet Explore browser, which has a compatibility view mode feature which we can use to view a website in its compatible mode. But if you don't like Internet Explorer then you can also set your other browsers(mainly Firefox and Google Chrome) in compatible mode by using an extension, so if you want to set your other browser in compatible mode then you can read this below article:

• How to set compatibility view mode in Firefox ?

So for setting your Internet Explorer browser in compatibility view mode follow the steps given below:

• Open your Internet Explorer browser.
• Then Open the website that is not compatible with your current browser.
• After that click on Tools tab tab which is present on the top right in your browser or see the below screenshots.

• Alternatively you can also use ALT+X to open the tools.
• Then select Compatibility View Settings from the list.

• Now a new window will pop up where you have to add the the URL of the website which is not compatible with your browser.
• After that click on Add tab and then Close tab.

How To Save Flash Files ?

Flash files always attract us, we can see the flash files on various websites. Nowadays people are using these files all around the web because it always gets the visitors attention and also enhances the looks of a blog/website. So it is very normal that when we see a flash file on a website we want to save it so that we can use them on our blog/website or for some other purposes. But when we try to save it as we save images on our computer then there is no option of "Save Image As". So if that is the case then don't be disappointed, its not a very hard thing to do but requires your little time and effort. So in this article we will discuss the two very popular methods of saving these files.

But before discussing about the two methods its better to know few things about flash files that we require later in this article.

• Flash files are saved in SWF format with .swf extension, where SWF stands for ShockWave Flash.
• In this article first we find out the URL of the flash file and then using that URL we would save our flash file to desktop.

The Following two methods are:

1. By using your Firefox Browser.
2. By viewing the source code in any web browser.

By Using The Firefox Browser:

• Every browser developing company tries to provide some unique features in their browser which are different from others so as to maximize the number of their browser users. We often need different browsers because of these different features like in Internet explorer there is a feature called Compatibility View mode which is not present in other browsers likewise Mozilla Firefox also has a different feature called "View Page Info" which is not present in other browsers. This feature is very useful because many a times it saves our valuable time, so we are going to use this feature to save our flash file.
• So first open the website/webpage(which contains flash file) in your Mozilla Firefox browser.
• Then Right click your mouse anywhere on the webpage.
• After that select view page info from the list.

• After that a window will pop up, then click on Media as shown in screenshots.
• In Media Files you will find that there are some URLs/Links, so search the URLs that end up with .swf or you can search a flash file URL by seeing the Type in Media Files. In Types these flash files are generally given as embed and object. So copy the URL of your required file or if it is difficult for you to find out which URL is the correct one then you can copy them one by one and accordingly paste them in the address bar of your browser till you get the right one.

• Now you have got the URL of your flash file, so paste the URL of flash file in the address bar of the browser.

• Now you can see your flash file, then click on Menu tab which is present on the top right of your browser or see the below screenshot describing the position of the menu tab.

• Then click on Save Page As and save the file in your desktop.

• Alternatively you can directly press CTRL+S, this will save the file to your PC.

• But Make sure that you have saved the file with .swf extension otherwise your file will not run.

By Viewing The Source Code In Any Web Browser:

• Open the website(which contains flash file) in your browser.
• Then press the right button(right click) of your mouse and select View Page Source from the list.
• Alternatively you can also press CTRL+U for the same. 

• Then a new window will pop up, now you can see the coding of the entire page.
• Then press CTRL+F and in search bar enter .swf, this will search all the URLs that end with .swf.

• Now search the URL of the file you want.
• Then copy the URL of your required file and paste it into the address bar of your browser and press Enter.

• Now you can see your Flash file in a separate tab.
• Now click on the Menu tab present on the top right of your browser, then click on Save Page As tab and save your file.
• Or you can use CTRL+S for the same.

• Now you have your flash file use it wherever you want.
