Auto Blogging by Syndicate Kahuna

Free blog content is not a headline news any more. I thought every blogger knows. But, what about Auto Blogging? Where you don't need to post anything to your blog, but there are posts. Syndicate Kahuna provided it for you, and the most important is..it is FREE. This is really a headline news. Unfortunately, it's only applicable for Wordpress, and also must be hosted in your own hosting (not using wordpress.com)

If you are interesting, check out below about Syndicate Kahuna Installation :

1. Syndicate Kahuna currently only works with WordPress blogs installed on your own domain. If you are using a service like Wordpress.com, it will not work. It also does not work with WordPressMU (multi-user). 
2. Your server that hosts your domain must have “Zend Optimizer” installed. If it does not, then you can simply email your hosting support and ask them to install it for you. It takes just a few moments. 
3. SyndicateKahuna is a “PHP” script and will not work on “Windows” based servers. (This has nothing to do with your personal computer, just the hosting account).

• Step 1: Download the syndicate Kahuna script to your computer. This script is saved as a zip file and will save to your computer as 

“sk_article.zip”. You will need to unzip this file and then extract the file

“sk_article.php” and save that to your computer.

• Step 2: Open your favorite FTP software and login into your hosting account.

A FTP software is used to send and receive files from your server where your blog is hosted. There are many excellent free options available and the two I recommend are :

•  http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ (if you use the firefox browser)

•  http://www.coreftp.com/

• Step 3: You need to ensure that you set your FTP options to upload the files in “Binary” mode. There are three options to choose from in our FTP software, they are ASCII, Binary and Auto… you NEED to select Binary.

• Step 4: Upload the file sk_article.php to the folder on your server that also has the file wp_config.php 

• Step 5: Enter the following into your browser… 

Make your to replace “yourdomain” with your sites actual domain.

If the page redirects to the yourdomain.com, then it is installed correct. If you get an error then that “Zend Optimizer” is not installed, then you will need to contact your hosting provider to get it installed. Any other errors, would indicate that you did not upload the script in “Binary” mode.

• Step 6: In SyndicateKahuna, go to the “Add Site” page and enter in the “site name”  (Pick a name to help identify your site in the site listings) and “site url”. 
• Step 7: Select “Test Script” to ensure your site is set up proper. 
• Step 8: Select the categories for the types of articles you want to receive. You can select up to 10 categories max and if you have a niche site you can further refine the types of articles your site receives by specifying keywords in the next step. 
• Step 9: Enter up to 5 keyword phrases to further refine the articles that your blog will receive. Only articles whose keywords match some or all of your keywords will be delivered to your site. You can only enter 1 keyword phrase per box or group of keywords but you can use “AND” with your keywords (GPS AND navigation) so only articles matching both keywords will be delivered. By using the “AND” the keyword do not have to be together as one phrase but they both must appear in the content. 

IMPORTANT: 

1. Do not use commas in your keyword phrases (anything after the comma will be truncated)
2. Capitalization does not matter (GPS will match gps)
3. If you leave all the keyword fields blank, any articles matching your categories will be delivered

• Step 10:  Enter the maximum number of articles per day you would like your site to receive. You can request up to 10 articles per day. 

• Step 11: Select whether or not the articles your site receives are immediately available to the public. 

1. Publish - The articles your site receives are immediately visible on your site
2. Pending Review - You need to approve (publish) the articles your site receives before they will be visible to the public 

• Step 12: Sets the version of Wordpress your blog is running.

Blogger Account Limits

Do you know the limits of your Blogger Account? For many of blogger, reading the 'support' is a donkey work. Actually you can see your Blogger Account limits inside the Help Topics of the Blogger Support. I my self relly curious on knowing my account limits, like : number of blog per account, number of post that can be posted, etc.

Below are the detail of your Blogger Account. For more detail, just click here..!

Number of Blogs: You can have as many blogs as you like on one account.

Number of Posts: There is no limit on the number of posts you can have on one blog. They will all be saved on your account (unless you manually delete them) regardless of whether you are publishing archives or not.

Size of Posts: Individual posts do not have a specific size limit, but very large posts may run you up against the page size limit. (See the next item.)

Size of Pages: Individual pages (the main page of your blog, or your archive pages) are limited to 1 MB in size. This will allow for a few hundred pages of text, but it may be a problem if you are listing hundreds of posts on the front page of your blog. If you hit this limit, you will see an error message saying "006 Please contact Blogger Support." You can get around this error bylowering the number of posts on your main page, which will have the added benefit of making your page load faster as well.

Number of Comments: A post can have any number of comments. As with archived posts, if you choose to hide comments on your blog, all pre-existing comments will remain saved on your account.

Number of Pictures: If you are posting pictures through Hello to a free BlogSpot blog, there is no limit. If you are posting them to an FTP-published blog, then you are limited to the amount of space available on your server.

Size of Pictures: If you are posting pictures through Blogger Mobile there is a limit of 250K per picture.

Team Members: There is no limit on the number of members or administrators per blog.

Blog Description: Limited to 500 characters, with no HTML. Adding additional characters or HTML may cause it to revert to a previous setting.

"About Me" Profile Information: Maximum of 1200 characters.

Profile Interests and Favorites: Maximum of 20 items each, 60 characters per item.

Why is it important to be on the Google first page?

Imagine the following scenario :

You simply want to find the best but free-e-card website available on the Internet. You will simply go to Google and type the phrase “best free e-card” and press enter. Google will give you about 92,000,000 results (as of the time this article is written) ordered by

the relevance. The first page usually contains about 10 results that are considered the most relevant to the phrase searched for.

What will you do  now?  Will you be starting from somewhere in the middle of the result?

Or will you click on the first result given on the first page? Obviously, it will be the first or the second result in the first page.

This is how a normal user behaves. If he/she searches for something inGoogle, he/she will be most likely to settle with information available on the first page.

Have you ever heard of ‘heat maps’? Heat maps are generated to identify the areas of a web page that users mostly look at. Sophisticated cameras are used in order to generate this map, to track the eye movement of users. Following is a heat map generated for Google search result page.

The red areas indicates what the users most frequently look when a Google result page is loaded. The orange and yellow areas are looked at less intensively while green and blue get even lesser attention. The red horizontal line in the middle of the page denotes the page fold. The section below the page fold is what users do not see at one glance therefore, users will need to scroll down in order to read what appear below this line.

If you carefully inspect the image, you will see that :

1. Only the firs two results are seen by almost all users.
2. only about 60% of the users have looked at the third and forth results.
3. Users rarely navigate to the lower part of the results page located below the page fold.

If you want to make your business visible to millions internet users everyday, than your website should be listed within the first five results of the Google search page.

There are many ways to reach that prestigious position. One of them is by using SEO. May you want to tell me one or more, please drop me in the comment box below.

Thanks.

Improve Google Adsense Relevancy

Sometimes Google adsense displays non relevant ads in our blog or website. This is one of the common complaints about Adsense that the ads displayed are not relevant to the website’s content. Basically AdSense program enables website publishers to change display Google ads to be relevant to their site color. Non-targeted ads will annoy our readers and also reduce our earning potential as our readers may not interested in the ads displayed.

To overcome this issue, Google has a feature called section targeting. This is the simple way to improve our Adsense targeting.

Here is the quote from the Adsense Help Center about this issue :

Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you’d like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site’s content. By providing us with your suggestions, you can assist us in improving your ad targeting.

It’s simple to implement Section Targeting in our blog, we have to place a HTML tag before and after the content that we want adsense ads to be targeted.

<!– google_ad_section_start –>
YOUR CONTENT FOR SECTION TARGETING GOES HERE.
Most of your website main content resides here.
<!– google_ad_section_end –>

How to Ignore Section Targeting
We can mark sections that we want adsense ignore section targetting (content to be weighted less, ex RSS Web Feeds, sidebar links, etc.,)

<!– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –>
IGNORE. This content is weighted less.
<!– google_ad_section_end –>

You have to use this feature carefully, make sure you start and close the tag properly. Also, you cannot manipulate the section ad targeting by placing insignificant content, as it is against adsense program policies

SEO Title for Blogspot

There are two types of the so-called SEO title, one is a link post that stands before a blog title / name if it’s seen through the browser window. Second, a link post that stands alone. When you open a link post, the blog title is not there. Blog title or blog name is shown when one opens up the main homepage. To see the first example (post title first, blog name second) just click here It’s seen in the browser thus: TRANS STUDIO MAKASAR (post title first and blog name comes second).

The more important thing for blogger / blogspot users is that you can make both types of SEO titles easily using this following simple tips (after login to your admin blog, click Layouts -> Edit HTML -> Expand Template widget):

A. Post title first, blog title second:

1. Find this tag:

2. Delete and replace with this code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
</b:if>

3. Don’t forget to click SAVE.

B. Post title only (blog title not shown)

1. Find this tag:

<title><data:blog.title/></title>

2. Delete and replace it with the following code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/></title>
</b:if>

3. Click SAVE.

SEO itself stands for search engine optimization a term used among webmasters and bloggers on how to get higher SERP (search engine result page). Some believe that there are ways to ‘tweak’ your websites / blogs, to get satisfactory SERP the most important of which including, but not limited to, high PR (Page Rank), getting a backlink from a good site (meaning, higher PR which is equal or higher than your own), and “posting title management” as discussed here in this post.
