How to send free sms

Gmail has a new feature that allows users free SMS any where directly from the Gmail chat window. When I logged into my account today, I saw a pop-up to alert me of the new unit feature that now Gmail has free sms sending option now. So now we can send free sms without registration.

How Free SMS from Gmail works

Gmail for free sms

Previously, you could send text messages to other users of our list of contacts. This feature allows users to to send SMS, almost anyone as long as you know their phone number.
If you see the above message, simply type a number into the chat window for free sms.
Then you need to add the number to your contact list. Make sure that you have the correct country code entered with with the number that you added in your contact list.
.
Enter the text message and send it. 1 point will be deducted from your SMS credit. Increased SMS credit back to 5, if the person answers back to you to your SMS. The maximum credit risk can earn 50th It is essentially a measure of protection against spammers. That means Gmail supports a two way free SMS service for its users. This is a great feature added by the Google for its users for free sms.

In India, I can see that networks IDEA Aircel, Loop Mobile, MTS, Reliance, Tata DoCoMo, Tata Indicom, Vodafone are well supported by this feature. But there may be some teething problems with Reliance network numbers because I could not send an SMS to a phone number of Reliance communication in absolute confidence.

10 Advanced Comment Tricks for Better SEO

Many people can come up with some form of advice about SEO, but very few people give you advice about how to make your comments more SEO friendly. Many people are overlooking such as powerful little SEO tool. The search engines are only programs, and at their heart, they are not massively sophisticated, they are just very, very bulky. This means that you can manipulate the things that they read to work to your benefit. A comment of 30 words is still going to be read in the same way that a whole blog post is going to be read, so why not take advantage?

1 - Find the blogs that are DoFollow

Part of the trick is to find blogs that have DoFollow comments; otherwise, your SEO comment efforts are not going to mean anything. All you need to do to find them is to be patient and be willing to do a little bit of research.

Every week you must add a certain amount of comments to comment sections online. Make a note of the ones you add comments to, then every week run a scan to see who is linking to the pages in your website. The blogs that have DoFollow will slowly but surely appear on your link reports. Take those blogs off of your lists of blogs you tried, and put them on a list titled “DoFollow Blogs.” You may use your DoFollow-Blogs list every time you want to post a comment with a working link. 

2 - Add at least two keywords into your comment

Optimizing your comment is not essential, but if you get the chance then where is the harm in doing so? It is not essential because it may be hard to add certain keywords to your comment, because your comment is likely to be slightly different to the blog post--especially if you are making a counter argument. Still if you can add in any keywords that appear on the blog post or on your landing page then you should do so. 

Some clever comment posters may repeat the part of the blog post that they wish to comment upon, and then make their comment. The comment poster will pick a bit that has keywords in, so that his/her comment subsequently has keywords within. 

3 - Add at least two keywords into the anchor text of your link

This is not as difficult as it seems. It seems difficult because you cannot control what your URLs look like when placing a comment, but you can control what they look like when you create your URLs. It is good practice to create descriptive URLs and keywords are a common part of a descriptive URL. 

So when you are picking the link to go in your comment section, you should try to pick a URL that has at least two keywords within. Avoid linking to your home page or your sitemap (although you should sometimes). Do not link to pages that are not descriptive, or pages that have URLs that are difficult for search engine bots to read. 

4 - Make your comment at least 80 to 150 words

A common mistake is thinking that only adding a little bit of text will have your comment ignored by search engines. This is only true if there is only a tiny bit of text on the whole page (and sometimes even that is read). It is not true if you are adding a comment into a comment section. Nevertheless it is a good idea to add at least 80 words for two reasons. 

You want your comment to be a good, well-rounded and thoughtful, it is hard to do in fewer than 80 words. You also want to give the search engine a few keywords and a bit of text within the proximity of your link. A link standing alone or with a small bit of text such as “Great article” may be misinterpreted by search engines as link spam. 

5 - Comment more than one time

This is not a cast iron rule, but many commenters will add more than one comment as they reply to the thoughts of others. If all of your links come from comment sections with just one comment then the search engines may start to suspect that your are running a link building campaign. It is unlikely to cause you many problems, but may make Google begin to scrutinize your other SEO methods to check for what may look like Black-hat SEO. 

6 - Use keywords that appear in the blog post

This is a clever trick for two reasons. The blog post will be optimized for certain keywords and when people search for those words then the page is likely to come up on the search engine results page. The result has a title and a link, along with a little snippet example of what is on the page. If you have the same keywords in your comment then there is a small (but real) chance that your comment will be the snippet example that appears under the title on the search engine results pages. 

Secondly you are putting keywords within the vicinity of your link, which will help the search engines guess what is on the other end of the link--subsequently making the link stronger. 

7 - Make your URL link simple, easy to index, and easy for humans to read

Do not put hard to read or convoluted URLs onto comment sections (you should not have them anyway). You receive more direct-traffic if your URL is easy to read and is descriptive. Any convoluted URLs may also have a hard time being indexed by the search engines. 

8 - Use good grammar and spelling but not too well

Do not forget that the search engines are not as big of sticklers for grammar and spelling as many online gurus make out. This fact is especially true of comment sections where search engines programmers are aware that genuine commenters do not care about grammar, sentence syntax, and things such as slang expressions. 

On the other hand you must try not to spell too many words incorrectly. Try to keep most of your sentences to more than four words. Do not add emoticon punctuation in the middle of sentences, do not use foul language and do not break up your sentences too much or else they become hard to read. 

9 - Write a mini explanation line before your link

This will tell the blog readers where the link leads if your other text does not. It will also become yet another indication of what the link actually lands upon, which the search engine may use to clarify its indexing of your landing page. 

10 - Don’ts

Some things may damage the SEO value of your comments, so here are a few don’ts. Don’t Spam a link or Spam the same comments on all blog comment sections. Don’t use emoticons/smiley in the middle of the sentences--use them at the end if you must. Don’t use the same anchor text every time. Don’t ignore the comments and links of others. Don’t install more than one link and don’t use foul language, even if the other commenters do. 

If you are looking for another secret tip then run a program to count the most commonly used keywords on the blog and the comments section. You must then add that keyword into your comment. The search engine bots will consider your comment more relevant and may reward you with a stronger link in their index.

SEO vs SMO – Overview Tips

Few years back no one was able to locate your business on Google if the site was not optimized properly. So the idea of choosing between a search engine optimization (SEO) process, or doing social media optimization (SMO) for a website, was very easy – that was SEO. But the introduction of social media has changed the concept of online marketing and promotion.

Social media evolution is effecting SEO, and this problem is going on for many business strategists. While Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, blogging, flickr and SEO press releases give companies a huge advantage to drive website traffic as well as targeted clients or customers with increased awareness in short time span, then people are thinking twice to optimize (off-page) their websites for the search engines.

Now these days, social media is enhancing SEO scope, and according to the review reports businesses can get free evaluation and derive goal immediately. Due to this advantage, now business owners, chief marketing officers and brand strategists can work with online resources to evaluate what keywords will drive their businesses.

Social Media Optimization

It is important for the business owners to maintain a Twitter account, set up a company Facebook page and a LinkedIn profile. Through respective application, interconnectivity among these sites is very important. If these sites are set up properly and managed well, it will prevent competitors from attempting to hijack a company’s brand.

• To me LinkedIn is outstanding for building a professional network. The site is very much user friendly, and it connects you with a wide range of business professionals, thematic groups, jobs, companies, facilitates recommendations and also assists to increase SEO advantage with brand identity.

• Twitter is also beneficial and very effective medium when you are trying to spread hot topics. There must be connectivity with other social media sites.

• A company should use Facebook for branding. Brand page creation, adding videos, tutorials, graphics, and post news to wall and optimization with a well maintained profile can accelerate the awareness of a business.

• Videos presentation with SEO headlines, tags, descriptions, demonstration and interviews facilitate the company name, brand and conveys message to the targeted audience. YouTube, MetaCafe and other online video sites are very helpful.

Search Engine Optimization

In SEO On-page optimization has its own strong position to stand a website in the front line of search engine’s results. According to 2011 Google algorithm On-page needs unique content support.

But off-page optimization rather link building trend is towards the optimization of social media. To get above mentioned social media’s advantages in short time, link building process have been incorporated in SMO. Traditional link building process helps to increase back links of a particular site, but it takes time to reach targeted customer. And it has been monitored (Google Analytics) that website traffic is coming from all of the social networking sites, the SEO press releases, videos and podcasts.  So, link building through social media is a better option.

New SEO Tips For Off Page Optimization Techniques

Getting the optimization of your website’s content (On Page Optimization) is only half the battle. Off Page Optimization is also equally important for your website to rank higher in search results like On Page Optimization.

1) Link Building:  The most important part of Off Page Optimization is Link Building. You should try to get as many backlinks as possible from other websites. The number and quality of backlinks is crucial for your PageRank to increase and ultimately to rank higher in search results. PageRank is directly proportional to the no. of unique pages that are linking to your site. If you have high no. of backlinks from the websites with good PageRank, you will have a high PageRank. So, spend some time in getting those backlinks.

Here are some tips to get backlinks:

- Guest Blogging on sites related to your blog niche.

- Press Releases

- Forum Posting related to your blog niche.

- Article Submission to sites like Ezine, Hubpages, etc.

- Blog Commenting on ‘DoFollow’ Sites

- Image Sharing on sites like photobucket, flickr, etc.

- Video Sharing on sites likes YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

- RSS Feed Creation & Submission

- Directory Submission such as Dmoz.org, Technorati.com, etc.
- Use of Social Media: Share and promote your content on all the major social media sites such as Facebook, twitter, Linkedin, Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Tumblr, Google Plus and Pinterest. All these sites can bring a huge amount of traffic to your site and also helps in link building.

2) Anchor Text:  Now another important factor in Off Page Optimization is Anchor Text. Anchor Text is the text to form a Hyperlink. If you are not choosing the right anchor text, then all of your efforts of getting backlinks will not be much useful.

For example, If I want to link to this page – http://www.yoursite.com/what-is-page-rank/ and the main keyword is Pagerank.

I can use “Click Here(Anchor Text) to know more about PageRank.”

But ‘Click Here’ doesn’t tell Google Bots what the link is pointing to. So, use the link on the keyword.

Right Method(Example), “Click here to know more about PageRank(Anchor Text)”.

So, you should try to get backlinks from other websites using the right Anchor Text to make your site more relevant in Google search results.

3) Best Practices:

- Quality and Natural Links matters.

- Avoid Paid Backlinks.

- Avoid Link Exchan

- Try to get Backlinks from High Authority Sites or from sites with at least PR 1 or above.

- Try to get Backlinks from sites that are relevant to your content

- A link in the footer of a website is weighted less by Google than the link appearing on the top or in the main content of the page. [Source: youngblah.com]
