How to add Additonal page Element or Gadgets on Blogger blogspot

Here?s another nifty features addition to Beta Blogger: you can now add aditional page elements or Google gadgets on blogger.

For that, go to draft.blogger.com, and modify your Layout. There?s several new Page Elements you can try out, among which you?ll find Google Gadgets, select it, search for Warcraft and pick whatever you like.

Important note, there are some quirks around all these which require some settings for the time being, so make sure you try several options to save your settings, whether it is in the gadget?s configure or the overall layout.

If nothing is currently wrong with the connection, you should have a sample by going to the very bottom of Altitis and seeing my current main pallie?s armoury in there.

Don't forget to save

How to add blogger labels or categories on your Sidebar

Google has put Blogger out of beta, and along with this update comes many new features that we find great. One of these is the new labels, which let you organize your posts according to keywords. This works only if you?re using the new version of blogger.

In a way, these are like the Categories that are common with other blogging softwares. However, the interface that Blogger provides is more like a tagging system?something not so common with blogging softwares, but can be added as plugins. In particular, Technorati is a great site that uses tags to organize information on blog posts around the blogosphere.

Using blogger labels is quite simple. At the lower part of the post editor, you will see a text box where you can key in your desired keywords as labels. Separate each with a comma (you can use phrases or multiple-word keywords, too).


If you wish to select from a list of existing labels, just click the show all link.
When you publish, you will see the labels as tags under each post. When you click on any one, you will then be led to an archive of posts with that particular label.

You can also add a list of labels or Catogaries that you?ve used on your sidebar, so you can easily output an archive of posts with that label for readers to use.
To add the labels to the sidebar, simply go to layout, click add a page element. Then a pop-up window appears. Select LABELS and click SAVE TO BLOG. Your labels will then appear on your sidebar. Another Tool which does the same thing is Adding a Lable Cloud it helps to increase traffic on your blog

Now wasn't that easy! Please free to share comments!

6 Free Tips & Tricks To Rank Better On Google

Here some good tricks I applied for my clients and now they rank better. It improved their indexation, importance of the web pages, and rankings.

1. If you have search box on your site you can create tag cloud. Google will crawl your search results, index pages with search results, discover pages which was unreachable before. Tag cloud will improve importance of your pages (especially pages which are to far from homepage) and Google will rank them better. This strategy works only for websites with 1000+ pages.

2. Visit your statistic and find the most unpopular content pages (1 visit per month or something like this). Submit this pages in social networks to get extra links (deep links). Create more internal links for this pages on your own website. Most likely your unpopular pages will get better positions in Google, Yahoo, MSN search.
Promoting your unpopular pages you can get rid from Google indexation problems.

3. Deep links is the way to go

4. Patience is the key to success i mean that! Don't believe in the hype to reach on the google

5. Tightly written Metas (Title, Content/Description, Key Words). Its hard to write a good Meta without being "spammy" in the process .

6. Content, content, content! Did I say CONTENT! I would not be "content" if I did not mention Content on all of the pages, and the keyword density has to be pitch-perfect. Too may repetitions and you are spamming, too little of the key words
