Best 5 Fonts for Titles.

We have selected 5 fonts from 600 fonts which is a indeed a time consuming thing, however, we are glad that we are succeeded in collecting some very fancy and elegant fonts for body post. Beside that, we want to hear from the readers that which font they are using and why? Do they like our collection or not.

Google has more than 600 fonts in their directory.  Previous year the figure was round about 500. Now they are adding and the directory is expanding day by day. Though 600 fonts gave us a wide variety but the major numbers of fonts are useless because of their characters which are not easy to read. Thus it makes us limited in selecting fonts for our post title. Post title is the text which gives an idea to reader related to the article. If a reader is facing a problem in reading the post title so he may bounce to another blog/website.  For this purpose we have selected 5 best fonts from Google directory which will give the best look to blog/website.

However humans are limited and these fonts can be suited with dozens of other fonts as-well.

There are many ways to choose your blog name. Blog name is very important to show the real image of your blog. Sometimes people choose their blog name and later on the deviate from the purpose make a negative impression on readers, as the first impression is always the last impression. In fact, the content of the blog matters but somehow the blog name also matters.  It is just like a soldier having a rank of Major selling vegetables in the market. Precisely, if I say, blog name reflects the content of the blog.  There are few rules in choosing a blog name and we are going to discuss it right away.

Choosing a name for General Blog

General Blogs are very common where people for arts lover. In General blogging people express their own thinking, their own generated ideas, views about something, criticism either on a book or event, philosophy etc. Something which is related to you and your experience.

• Choosing a name for General Blog is very easy.You can use your own name, like if I give you an example (http://ifrakhaliq.com). The name of the author is Ifra Khaliq and she is an artist, she decided to make a blog on her name and she did it. 
• Another example I should mention is about the ideology of President Barak Obama, the Change.  The author decided to spread the message and ideology of President Barak Obama so he decided to make a blog on (http://www.yeswecan.com).
• You can use your own name if it is available. Go for .com TLD. If .com is not available go for other TLD’s like .net, .info, .org. Better not go for .org because it represents the organization so it is better to choose it on region specific like .us, .eu,  .pk etc. Somehow you will be able to show that it represents your name and you are going to make it a brand through your unique and informative content.
• The option is to find a unique TLD. The example of wordpress CEO, Matt Mullenweg. He chose (http://ma.tt). Now it is really amazing and versatile. Unique and very easy to access and remember. Readers just have to remember the Matt. Though they will not bookmark it but it is none of your business. They remember your name. Take it as a brand and enjoy. Smiley. 

 

Choosing a name for Niche Blog

• Now this part is somehow difficult and you will get a lot of choice which is hard to decide because every name will attract you but it will not give you guarantee to be related with your content. However, we by doing this, will keep some rules in mind.
• If your blog is related to technology, choose your domain name wisely. In technology, if you are an aviation expert and you can manage the blog on aviation completely, your domain name must somehow reflect the content. In the past I was planning to launch aviation related blog so I went for (http://aviationdiscovery.com). It was a good domain name but I didn’t go for it because I’m still considering myself as a student of aviation. By the way the domain is still available and you can buy it.
• The other thing you have to kept in mind that domain name should not be complex. Readers always try to remember the name instead of bookmarking it so it is better to choose a small name like (http://extremetech.com). Easy to remember!
• You can choose a multi word name but with the rule of easy to remember. Here I want to mention very fast growing Pakistani Blogs (http://mybloggerlab.com) and (http://mybloggertricks.com). Both are comprises with three words and both are very easy to remember.
• Before selecting your domain name keep in mind that you have expertise in a specific niche and you are representing your site through your domain name.
• Contents may not be 100% relevant to the domain name but the major portion should cover the specific purpose.
• Choose wisely and take your time, research on it, once you are done with choosing try not to leave it and put everything in your blog. Be specific.

 

Choosing a name for Multi Niche Blog

• For multi niche blog it depends on how you can make it. Taking an example of my blog (http://ozynetwork.com), the first name shows the abbreviation of my name that is: Osama Zia Yousafzai, the other part shows the network on which my blog is based. I have chosen this name as it looks like a versatile. I can put everything in it. Isn’t it?
• Choosing a name for multi niche blog  is relatively easy. If your blog mainly focuses on technology like Smart phones, Cars, gadgets, biology, chemistry or physics you can choose like (http://focusa2z.com). The other very popular domain name from which we can get inspiration is (http://techcrunch.com).

 

What more!

Choosing a name for your blog is not that easy. You have to take suggestions from different people who are into blogging or web-designing.  Moreover social networking sites have different groups related to blogging. People there suggest good names for blogs but the final decision always depends on you.

Blogging is not more than a hobby or interest.  No one can put all the things aside and thinking of blog every time. Indeed some of the blogs are very famous around the world and savvy bloggers work 24/7 on the blog but for a personal blog it’s not 24/7 job.  An individual can manage a blog very well in case if he/she submits the quality article on daily basis. A bit of SEO is always important in order to fulfill the formalities of cyber world. 9 billion people around the globe are not bloggers. Bloggers are the chosen ones, the special ones.

Well, beside all these things, we are going to discuss the advantages of General Blog VS Niche Blog, disadvantages of General Blogging and Niche Blogging. 

Now day’s blogging is becoming an earning machine instead of a hobby.While if we rephrase it, Google wants to pay what we are doing for them. A good blog shows a good platform on which a blog is based. A platform is ranked on different statistics like providing extensions, hacks, widgets and a flexible environment with a vast customization and monetization options and a good helpline and response services. While starting a blog keep in mind the different services provided by a platform. General Blog should be the first blog started by a newbie. It will boost the abilities and understanding of a newbie to know how to follow a path in order to make a quality and complete niche based blog.

General Blog is always easy to manage. One doesn’trequire a good knowledge about a specific thing. Anything which comes to mind can be easily converted into blog post. It can be feelings about someone, experience of a day, Horse riding, swimming, love, emotions etc. The main advantage in general blogging is that, a blogger doesn’t need to research on a topic. Real time statistics, facts and figures all these things belong to niche blogging. 

General Blogging is mainly divided in to two sections.

• Posting 
• Sharing

Niche blogging is divided in to many sections

• Knowledge
• Research
• Expertise
• Facts and figures (If required)
• SEO
• Plagiarism 
• SMO
• Posting
• Sharing

Beside these sections I have mentioned for niche based blogs, niche base blog require a proper checkups time to time. 

SEO is always important for every blog but if it comes to general blogging it depends on the anatomy of people. People mostly search for a niche base blogs and a proper SEO for a general blog will not be fruitful. 

Statistics shows that 34% of the world’s population is using internet and Asia is the biggest user of internet meanwhile. The trend shows that the most frequent internet users belongs to age group 18-30 and this group always search for a specific niche. In this case SEO for general blog will not help much. In order to increase the traffic for a general blog, one should need to have a circle of that kind of readers who are interested in General blogging and enjoyed reading ones thoughts. 

For a newbie, General Blog is an easy track to make a way to Niche blogging. Learning is a basic thing. 

The advantages of a General Blogs are: 

• Easy to write articles on daily and hourly basis.

• Easy to Manage a General Blog.

• Less time consumption.

• The choice for the keywords is unlimited. 

• Easy to promote any kind of affiliates

• Easy to draw attention of anyone for guest blogging

Why meta tags are important for indexing articles?

Performing a search on search engines is our daily life routine. When we search something on Google, yahoo or related search engine sites we don’t know how our keywords directed the search engine to find what we are looking for. Most of the people while doing search don’t know about the anatomy of crawlers that how they work?
The material we find on search engines is actually the crawling results of the specific search engine crawler. The anatomy of the crawler is very simple. They crawl into a website, read permissions through a file which I will discuss in this article and index or store the website in a search engine. If the crawler stores the information it means it has some other related materials in the database and it will compare with other material and put them quality wise.

Why meta tags are important for indexing articles?

How the crawlers work

Crawlers are machines which work on the directions. If they found a site which is not based on the directions it will bounce back and reported as an empty page and if you have some articles on your website no one will get it and no search engine will index it.
Crawlers can index images, text, languages and everything which comes in its way. It has nothing to do with any rank at any platform. It will only store the information from your website to the search engine and search engine will later display it on the basis of keywords someone’s entered for searching something.

Importance of ROBOT.txt file

Robot.txt file is very important for a site. When crawlers enter into a site it will ask for a robot.text file to view the permissions. Some forums have restricted premium zone for special members and they restricted the entrance of crawler into that zone. So if you have no robot.txt file it will most probably index everything in its way.
But if there is no robot.txt file in the site and site is not build for specific customers like personal blog, tech blog and information site so crawler will consider it ok and crawl in your site to find out the materials to be indexed.
Somehow the robot.txt file is important. When the crawler gets what it wants first it will index your material process smoothly.

Does the browser/ operating system/hardware affect the crawlers?

Search engines have introduced very advance crawlers now days. They can crawl on any platform/browser used/ hardware. Search engines have optimized crawlers to work anyway. If you are using an old browser or operating system like windows 98 with IE7, it will not affect the crawler’s anatomy.

Site performance

It is universal if your site performance and layout is good, users and machines will find it attractive. Crawlers have the ability to find out if the site is down for a while or if the site is slow for a moment due to maintenance. It will come back and find out what they want. But if they found the site is closed for a long period of time and or the site performance is very poor they will not come back for indexing. So the site performance and layout should be your preference.

What More!

Never make your website for crawlers. Make it for users. More your users read your content better it will be for site impressions. If your layout is good, icing the cake, go for more optimization. Crawlers have no ability to rate your site. So better keep your site for users.

Meta tags are very important part of website’s html code. They are used as a part of html code but usually they are not visible on the page. They play an important role in describing a web page. In short they summarize your web page to the crawlers and spiders. A good webpage is considered to be the one who has a relevant meta keywords and crawlers can easily identify the nature of the website through these keywords. Moreover a proper meta tags help the crawlers to index the page more efficiently.  Here is the screenshot of meta tags example. Let’s see how meta tags play an important role in indexing your article/post on search engines.

Anatomy of crawlers

Crawlers have very unique anatomy. If your website has robot.txt file, it is good. The crawlers will first look into robot.txt file. They will find out the permissions you have granted to spiders and then they will explore your website. If you haven’t make a robot.txt file it will not make a problem. Crawlers will crawl definitely but they will not reach to the destination very well. Robot.txt file is a kind of channel through which they get the directions. So the robot.txt file should be uploaded as soon as possible if you haven’t done it yet.

Meta Tags

Meta tags are called as page optimizations. Basically there are two types of meta tags. One is called Meta keywords and the other is called Meta Description.  Now a days some top companies like Google concentrates on meta description. They extract the information using your meta description. Thus meta description plays an important role in describing a website.  SEO also use meta description in order to describe the website. This description summarizes the whole website. In some cases it describes the Niche of the website as well. If ozynetwork is a tech blog so the example of meta description of www.ozynetwork.com will be 

Why meta description is important?

Meta description improves your SERP rank. The major purpose of the meta tags are to allow search engine crawlers to index your site/page on the basis of keywords. If you have written an article based on technology and your meta tags are supporting your article through the keywords, the crawlers will index your article in a short time of period and allow it on different search engines. As much as your articles resembles to the keywords, the better results you will get.

What is SERP?

SERP stands for “Search Engine Result Page”. Correct meta tags improve your SERP ranking. It will get higher rank if your materials and your keywords are based on meta tags. For getting better SERP ranking, you have to carefully design your keywords.

What More!

Meta tags have nothing to do with your website. It is a hidden description which is only readable and viewable by crawlers and spiders. However they are very important in improving your websites. Concentration on two main meta tags like Meta Description and Meta Keywords are important. Meta Author, Meta Language and other related meta tags are secondary targets through which we can optimize our website more efficiently.
