According to Google, now you will have access to three new options:

• Queries: impressions, clicks, position, and CTR info for the top 1,000 daily queries
• Landing Pages: impressions, clicks, position, and CTR info for the top 1,000 daily landing pages
• Geographical Summary: impressions, clicks, and CTR by country

Now you can play around with these data using rich filtering options of Google Analytics, like sorting the top most queries like that gained you more than 200 hits and then comparing the CTR of those with the overall CTR and that kind of stuffs

Here is a screenshot where you can see your landing page data based on demographics:

Isn’t that pretty cool So switch to new Analytics interface and enjoy richer data. Just when you try to use these features for the first time, you need to set up Google Webmaster Tools with your Analytics account. That’s just a matter of few clicks and then you are ready to go

Currently they give away this free SEO service to 60 clients per month on first come first serve basis. And your website needs to have a pagerank of 2+ for entire website optimization, otherwise you will get only homepage optimization.

I was wondering why they give this SEO service for free. So they said in their site that they want to show their professional approach to SEO and with the results that you will get from this free search engine optimization you might want to purchase a Top of Google Guarantee package from them And anyway they will be putting a link in your site pointing to their site to promote their SEO service.

Now these have changed significantly. If you have registered a www or non www version of root domain directly in Google Webmaster Tools, any links from a subdomain will be reported as internal. But in some cases you don’t have administrative rights to root domain like when you have a blogspot blog registered in Webmaster Tools. In those cases the links from root domain or other subdomains will be reported as external. And that makes pretty good sense

But we don’t know whether there is any change in how Google consider subdomain links at the time of link algorithm. If Google consider a backlink from a subdomain of the same root domain as internal, then there should be significantly less weightage for that link in considering link popularity. But we don’t have any idea yet as Google is still silence about it.

Forget about listing checker or Firefox add-on to check for DMOZ listing. Just do an internal search from DMOZ home page for your domain name. Don’t add “www” to your domain name while searching. If your domain name or any sub-domain of it is listed in DMOZ, the result will show all the listings. You don’t have to depend on any third party service

So how does this affect you as a blogger or a webmaster? If you are using top level domain name you are pretty safe. But I just wanted to remind you a few points. If you do directory submission. be careful which directory you are submitting to. If you are looking into any random long free directory list online, most probably you will find lots of .co.cc directories there. While I am not saying that it will harm your blog or site if you submit link there, but there will be no value from that link. Manual directory submission is a time consuming process and so why waste your time

Personally I don’t do much directory submission or blog commenting because I don’t have time. I just surf when I have time and share what I find interesting online with you. But even when I do submit to a few of those, I always check whether it is a top level domain or not. Otherwise you can’t be sure whether the directory owner is serious or not. In that case, the directory will remain as static, ill-maintained & give you little value. I even try to avoid directories with .info domain name. Most of those directories are just made to show some ads and who knows the owner might change his mind and just remove the directory and post some other content after some time. Or after a year the domain can even expire. So your link will be lost. That’s why if you really want to get some value for your time in directory submission, submit to free directories that have a formidable domain name especially a TLD. You can make some exceptions if the directory is reliable and has spend a year or two and still well maintained. But don’t just submit to any free directory you see online especially if it’s brand new.

So there are lots of extra things from AddThis analytics. AddThis analytics is quite good. But if you want to get a bit of more information like how effective your ads are, you might want to take a peek at Google Webmaster Tools dashboard. Google is sharing their own data on their own social button after all

And they have also started taking user feedback signals to give better search results, like Google might consider searcher’s blocking behaviour as a confirmation that the site was targeted correctly by the new algorithm. Though this data inclusion signals will have minor affects than the original change like 2% comparing to 12% search queries in the US.

Anyways, most probably you will see some kind of impact on your organic traffic trend in next few days. And if you are trying to copy from here and there, and create a shallow site, good luck to you

Here is a solution to that. Just add the below lines to your .htaccess file in your root directory of PHPLinkDirectory website and save it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

This should fix the mod-rewrite problem.

Smush.it can process JPG, GIF, and PNG image formats and the image size should be up to 1mb. You can upload images from your local computer or use image urls directly. You can upload more than one file at the same time using SHIFT key.

So before uploading a picture in your website or blog, just run Smush.it and then use size-reduced file. It may help your site load time in the long run

And I have checked the list. It truly contains some popular  blogging networks like Blog Top Sites or Blogged.  A few of them require paid submission. But others are free. And he has given short description for most of the links. So you can quickly decide whether you want to submit you blog on that particular site or not.

Just check it. And if you have missed some of them, just submit your blog
