How do you know if your blog is dying?


Based on RSS Pieces, they are basically as follows:

1. Backlinks are not growing.

2. Nobody is commenting on the blog.

3. Traffic and unique visitors do not increase month to month.

4. Google isn’t crawling your blog regularly.

5. Posts are falling out of Google’s index.

6. Nobody Diggs your articles.

How do you prevent this from happening?

One of the technical rules in SEO or Search Engine Optimization is for the website to be “search engine friendly”.

The term “search engine friendly” may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems and shopping carts that are easy to optimize. Wikipedia

Here comes a tool designed to check if your site is “search-engine-friendly” based on the target phrase/keyword you specify. Check out Webmaster Toolkit’s Web Page Analyzer.


Below is a preview.

Page Rank is Google’s proprietary system for ranking webpages according to importance.
Google Page Rank 101

Consider Page Rank (PR) as your webpage’s grade, ranging from 1 to 10 with 10 as the highest. Google has an algorithm that computes for the ranking. The principle is simple: the more (quality and relevant) inbound links a webpage has, the higher its PR would be. Remember that Page Rank grades each page of your website. In this regard, the higher the PR of these webpages that link to yours, the better. Also, please take note that the more the outbound links of a webpage are, the less valuable it is.
