In this short articles I will give some tips and trick to fix common wordpress database problem. When you’re planning to get a lot of visitors to your site you better looking for a ways to optimize your sql query. There is one options for this, using DB cache so when people coming to your site request the articles server don’t need to re-query database again. You just need to sacrifice some memory and space which may be better in result if you’re not planning to go for vps or dedicated at the moment.

How to do this? Search on google is good idea, I found many articles for database caching last night, this is the best one. For wordpress users there is a simple solution. Just get and install DB-CACHE-RELOADED plugin, setting it as you need, example you want cache stays for 24 hours or maybe just 10 minutes.

In this sample I set 180 minutes (3 hours). Cache will stay for 3 hours and then when it expired all cache files will deleted from cache folder and generated new cache. The result after using this plugin is better than not using it. When I tested it I have never seen wordpress database error again (of course because when someone read articles again server doesn’t need to re-read again from the sql). If you like this plugin you can spare some money for Ivan for his great works

The effect?? I’m not sure but in the past when I’m using similar plugin like this I have error on feed, when this happen disable the plugin clear all the cache files and reactivate plugin again. But if not then you don’t need to do anything just keep monitors your site availability and traffic. Before I close this articles I want to tell you, you can also combine this plugin with auto cron job to repair and optimize your mysql, just search on my blog you will find the articles. This combination will giving a better result.

That’s share for today, I need back to work on project he he, Have a great day everyone

The big problem is this plugin will make your wordpress site become mobile friendly without change any meta including your page title. For example my meta description is article title+20 words article content+site/blog title. If we enabled this plugin it will created an duplicated meta and duplicated title, in the end it will caused big problem impact in SEO.

Solution: I try to using google webmaster tools called parameter handling. But I’m not sure if this things will affect better on next index date. Actually I was thinking about giving meta noindex and nofollow on mobile site themes but it’s looks like this mobile themes can’t modified since theme structure following desktop version. I also thinking giving rel canonical maybe can help us to fix this problem.

The result in today is better than yesterday I seen traffic growth 40%-60% from normal time. I will removed this plugin from my site if there is no working solution for this problem.

Beside this problem there is some important changes needed for wordpress user to tell google and other crawl robots to only index articles and pages. I believe tags, archive, and category not needed to get index since it will only spam google index. We can do this using robots.txt, example:

#General Bot
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Allow: /wp-content/uploads
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /wp-admin
Disallow: /wp-includes
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /wp-content/cache
Disallow: /wp-content/themes
Disallow: */trackback
Disallow: /trackback
Disallow: /comments
Disallow: /category
Disallow: /category/*/*
Disallow: /tag
Disallow: /author
Disallow: */comments

# Google Image
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow:
Allow: /*

# Google AdSense
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
Allow: /*

#Google Adwords
User-agent: Adsbot-Google
Allow: /

#Google Mobile
User-agent: Googlebot-Mobile
Allow: /

Sitemap: http://www.istanto.net/sitemap.xml

# BEGIN XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN
Sitemap: http://www.istanto.net/sitemap.xml.gz
# END XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN

This robots.txt sample will not allowed all crawler robots to index tags, archive, category, etc. It will crawl and index some of we allowed. We won’t need all our tags to get indexed since it will only spam google index right?

If you’re using sitemap generator plugins make sure to set it only generate articles and pages to be included in your sitemap. Remove tags and other from generated sitemap. I believe this can be done very easy even if you’re using another sitemap generator.

After this small changes I see better result for today but not sure if it perform better in the future. You should stay away from wp mobile pack plugin if you’re care about your SEO. Keep watching and stay update with any changes.

That’s my share for today, Have a good day

LASTLY apologize for you bad English! *lol*

OK Let’s Begin….

1. SEO technique “title tag“.

Basically it will working right if you give right title tag on your pages. If you’re compete in specific keyword, this keyword should be same with your keyword target OR at least there in your title tag in the first line not after another title.

Example, I want to target my keyword to “make money” :

My title page should be “make money” (right optimized)

If your title “make money – whatever” (bad targeting optimized) or “whatever – make money” (false optimized)

Programing generated title tag should really help you targeting your keyword. If you’re advanced in programing (usually PHP) this should be done in minutes.

2. Domain Name SEO

Short? Long? Unique? .com? .net? .org? basically there is a lot factor will affect this.. Remember your domain extension also will affect on your domain name SEO, said .com are better than .info! Just look on example, this will help you to choose your domain name.

Example:

makemoney.com have better SERP than makemoney.info or make-money.com or  howtomakemoney.org in keyword “make money“

3. SEO technique Meta Tag

Give meta on your pages help you also in targeting some specific keyword. There is some important meta tag you should have in your pages to help robots crawl your pages and shown in search engine result.

Meta Description : Will help you explain and give information about your pages to crawl robots, It will showing on search engine result (keyword after title).

Meta Keyword : This will help you targeting your keyword. Please note your meta keyword should be there also in the title tag and your content, or it will false.

Example:

make money (title)

how to make money online (meta description)

make money,money (meta keyword)

how to make money online using……. bla bla bla (content)

This will give good result in search engine result , your keyword is targeting on “make money” remember still there a lot of condition that will affect on your SERP it will be written in another subject.

Programing generated meta should really help you targeting your keyword. If you’re advanced in programing (usually PHP) this should be done in minutes.

4. Robots.txt SEO

Having robots.txt will help you to decide which part should be indexed and which not indexed (secure) it also can help search engine to find some important information. robots.txt usually should be in root directory of your website/blog.

Example on robots.txt :

User-agent: robotname
Disallow: /secure/

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: http://yourwebsite/yoursitemap

5. SEO Sitemap

Sitemap will help robots find information and search engine will indexed your pages faster and organized, you can find another good sitemap article in this blog. There is lot way to generated your sitemap depends on which one you choose.

6. Backlink or Linkback SEO

If you’re following all technique but your traffic still low, try to get link from another site, this will help your site got indexed and your SERP will be better plus you might get good pagerank. How to do this? there is lot way said…. directory, exchange link, leave comment on blog/website, signature, etc.

Special for link buyer, if you stop your link campaign and you lost many link in just one night your site might get penalties. The safest way is once you buy then you should pay for that as long your sites up!

Please remember don’t ever try to spam or search engine might banned you!

7. Update your website!

You should updated your website content if you want better SERP and indexed pages. At least minimum once a week is enough to keep your site stable in search engine. If you didn’t update for a month your site might looses indexed pages but don’t worry keep updated your content and your indexed pages will coming back.

———————————

Here is the example result on this part I technique that I adopted on this blog. Please note this result coming as is, I’m not optimized totally this blog (you know I’m lazy boy ).

To get maximum result, all of this SEO technique should be used together combined from first into the end, I know it’s a little hard if you’re new but if you already understand this should help you lot to get traffic. Remember traffic is money source, without traffic your blog/website has nothing value.

Done for part I, part II, part III, part X and another part will be available soon, have a nice day

What actually search engine ranking position (SERP) and how it can affect your website. Search engine ranking position (SERP) is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query… more details can be reading in here.

How it can affect your website? Mostly first top 10 search result will got visited by searcher. That mean more traffic, traffic mean money that’s why SERP is needed to learned if you want to monetize your traffic

EXPLANATION 1:

Basically SERP calculated automatically by ROBOT, the more link you have into your website mean you will get better ranking. In this case if you have  enough money you can buy million to billion link from other website to linked into your website, your SERP will raise up trust me…

For easiest way to understand this explanation look on this chart:

*Better SERP

*Worst SERP

The more link you have the more your ranking better, that’s why people sold link in their website to help you raise your SERP.

EXPLANATION 2:

Meta and Keyword, Black Hat SEO using repeated keyword in one page, in result their SERP are better. Example you website keyword target is about money you write meta keyword “money” and in your page you repeated keyword “money” at least 3 times. It can raise your SERP… anyway if someone found out you cheating they might reported you, be quiet to many haters out there

EXPLANATION 3:

Content, More genuine content will raise your SERP. how to checked if your content is genuine? you can check it from search engine or you can check from copyscape website. anyway this is automatic robot not mean if your content not genuine…

Alright now we ready for installation:

Basically meta used for robot/crawler to get information from your web/blog, But be careful when you write irrelevant meta tag your site might will crawled in wrong way and result  might will false.

1. Meta Description:

Used to describe about your website, this words will also will be placed on search engine result. Example on one of my site meta description is about “Server project of nexustk the kingdom of the wind emulator and atlantia development free flash games” (yea I know this meta description s*ck LOL)  see the result in google search engine.

What will happen if most search engine not found meta description on your site? not sure about all crawler but one I know google crawler bot will crawl the top words to be put in  search result.

2.  Meta Keyword:

Used to describe your site keyword in search result on search engine this is sorted from first keyword to be the first priority . Again sample on one of my site meta keyword is “nexmutk,nexustk,baram,nexia,nexustk map editor,emulator,ps1,ps2,bios,scph,games,development,install shield,earn money,game server,server games,mmorpg,nexustk packet,nexustk emulator,gunbound,darkages,lunentia,ts online,ran online,maplestory,donation,project,developer,visual basic,vb6,utility,zlib compression,paypal,egold,kingdom of the winds” see the result when I search something using keyword “nexmutk”

So the answer is when you need to fill your meta keyword this keyword MUST included at least 1-3 words in your site content. This also the way for some people try to targeting HPK (high paying keyword) from google adsense to get HPK ads showing on their site.. that s*ck is it?!?! YES MONEY RULES! *LOL*

Alright we focused on this 2 meta first, other meta and their function will be written on next article. Usually meta tag should written on header files, the problem is lot and ALMOST header files is static.

How we can make dynamic meta on static header?!

Simple and easy as 1-2-3 :p if you’re advanced in php/database programming this should can be done in only 5 minutes he he he.. how we can done with this one.. listen to me carefully I will not tell you the code but only my vision *LOL* when you programing your site you can describe your meta to follow your pages words content, remember meta description no more than 150 character this way is for medium level programing. for some people who advanced on database you can write your meta from your database by calling it out, there is other way also using rewrite rules to play with your meta and many many ways to do this. Maybe next time I will write some sample code for this.

Have good day everyone
