Do you blog using WordPress?

If yes, then you should try to install this really neat plugin called After the Deadline

After the Deadline helps us check our spelling, style and grammar, thus helping us to write better. With the plugin, we also spend less time editing and re-reading our writing, giving us more time to spend for other work.

Getting the plugin to work is really simple. After you download and install the plugin, you will need to get yourself a free API key from AfterTheDeadline.com website which you would then insert in the settings page.

Once done, you should now see a new icon on your editor when you’re authoring a new post. Continue Reading » How to enable spell check and grammar check in Wordpress

Today’s big question is, do you know where you website visitors and traffic are coming from?

In case you’re wondering why is it important to know, well it’s really simple. Imagine if you’re an owner of a music CD store. Would you be interested to find out what sort of music your customers are most interested in? There’s no harm in knowing a little more about the people who walk into your store.

Same goes for your website. What are your web visitors looking for when they reach your site. Do your website have the information that they are looking for? Maybe yes, maybe no. But in order to find out, you firstly need to be able to track where your site visitors are coming from. These are some common questions:

• Which country do they come from?
• What did they search for in order to reach your site?
• How many visitors are currently surfing your site?
• How long did the spend surfing the pages on your site?
• How did they reach the site? Via search engine or email recommendations?

These are some common questions that a website stats tracker can help to answer.

But you may ask, even with answer to the above, what can I do with it?

I will provide one example – from my own experience. Continue Reading » Where are my web site visitors and traffic coming from?

Selamat Hari Raya!

Are you currently blogging using Wordpress? Looks like Wordpress is so user friendly our friend has got a tattoo for it. Cute.. and good job buddy! Image by danpeerflix.

If you’re a Wordpress fan too, then you should really check out this presentation by Matt Cutts, Head of Google’s Web Spam Team.

In his Wordcamp presentation, Matt mentioned and provided many good pointers, examples and tips for Wordpress users.

These are some that I really liked:

• In order to do well with your blog, you need to write about stuffs that you love – DAILY. This is really true because it’s really difficult to write about something we are unfamiliar with. It feels like forcing myself to drink Dr. Pepper.
• Changing the URL to rank for more keywords. See an example on this post.The title is Some really good Wordpress + SEO tips by Matt Cutts while the URL is some-really-good-wordpress-seo-tips-by-a-google-engineer. See how I changed Matt Cutts to Google Engineer on my URL. Before this presentation, I have never changed my urls coz I thought Google wouldn’t like it. But after the presentation, I actually tested it on a few of my other blogs and it did work. I got ranked for both keywords in the title and in the URL.
• Plugins Matt Cutts use. I learned about Cookies for Comments.
