How to create a Favicon for your Blog on Blogger and Free Blogger Templates.

If you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser, you can just take a look of the favicon next to the web address of my blog in the URL bar of the browsers. Most Browsers supports it.

Having a favicon for your blog have loads of advantages and you can bet that it also adds to the beauty of blogs and websites. Follow the following steps to set up a lovely favicon for your blog...

1. Right click on http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ and open it in another tab or another window

2. At the web page, you can generate a favicon from any picture on your pc. Just upload the picture and CLICK CREATE ICON. and it is ready in no time.

3. Download the icon to your PC and RENAME IT. DON'T NAME IT just FAVICON ( researches as indicated that naming it favicon will not make the favicon to be displayed on Blogger blogs but will work fine on other web sites).

4. Upload the picture to a free host and get the url of the uploaded file. ( You can set up an account with photobucket.com and if you already have an account with googlepages, you can also upload it there too)

5. Example of such url of the uploaded file will be like this 
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dzc4Y6G_iQk/TvngY-SxJiI/AAAAAAAAAvw/Abx5E6KSGkg/s1600/JerryAni.gif

6. Copy the URL of your own icon from the free host website you uploaded it to and insert it into the codes below 
 

7. Log in to the dashboard of your Blogger blog, Go to LAYOUTS and click on EDIT HTML. Remember to always BACK UP YOUR BLOG TEMPLATE.

8. In the Html , try to look in the HEAD section for a place where you will see this line of code and paste the code you set up in Step 6 above JUST ABOVE IT

9. SAVE your changes and VIEW YOUR BLOG That's it! Note that your favicon may not appear immediately after you've completed the above steps. In fact, it may take a few days, and in IE, sometimes the favicon will disappear from time to time due to a browser bug.

submit your website to 2500+ places for FREE!

IMT Website Submitter submits your website/blog to 2500+ different places. All these 2500+ websites are manly "who is", "about us", "website statistic", etc. type of services.

This script creates pages about your website/blog on everyone of these websites, resulting in about 2500+ different pages with backlinks pointing back to your website. 

Yes, some of them are no-follow and some of them are do-follow, but bottom line is that these are well established websites regularly crawled by Google and other Search Engines.

so your pages and backlinks on those websites will be found and your website/blog will get backlinks and will be visited and indexed more frequently by Googlebot and mainly other search engine bots like Yahoo, Bing, Baidu, etc. 

Social Monkee can have a very good effect on rankings in Google as long as you are good at both spinning content and getting backlinks indexed. If you have a hard time doing those 2 things then you won't see much results with it.

Yes it would be wise,the more spinning tactics, the more unique content you have for your bookmarks, so chances that Google will index that page are much more better. 

I started thinking of all the strategies that I have used to build quality backlinks to my sites to boost page rank and traffic, and 23 methods came to mind that work time and again. Are you using these 23 traffic boosting, backlink building strategies?

#1- Directory Submissions

#2- Article Marketing

#3- Forum Marketing

#4- Blog Commenting
#5- Blogging

#6- Web 2.0 Properties (Squidoo, Hubpages)
#7- Social Networking

#8- Social Bookmarking

#9- Submitting to Whois and Webstats

#10- Creating Link Bait
#11- Classified Advertising

#12- Participating in Blog Carnivals

#13- Submitting Press Releases

#14- RSS Submissions

#15- Link Exchanges

#16- Guest Posting

#17- PAD Software File Submissions

#18- Document Sharing Sites

#19- Getting EDU and GOV Backlinks

#20- Pinging New Content

#21- Pinging New Backlinks

#22- Building Link Wheels

#23- Building Link Pyramids

How many of these techniques are you using? Anyone building quality websites with good keywords and content, and who apply even a handful of these strategies, can generate a substantial amount of free traffic.

After this last PR update few newly added websites lost their PR, but I'm sure that they will regain their PR back, because they are constantly promoted and are growing in number of indexed pages, so trust, authority, link power and finally PR can only get better over time.

I assume that you are all aware about last few Google algorithm changes,they are basically all about duplicate and repeating content, not just about duplicate content on a single website, but also on different websites.
 

And duplicate content may affect indexing of the website/webpages, therefore indexing of your links on those webpages, which then can affect your rankings, visitors, etc, etc....
