How to Set Custom Permalink for Blogger Post

Tweet

Blogger Developer team introduces Custom Permalink for Blogger Posts, which enable bloggers to create custom URLs for their blog posts, it's a most wanted feature announced by Google blogger, that's why now we don't have to concentrate on automatic URLs, and can define by ourself, which is an enhanced feature.

What is a Custom Permalink?

Before we define the custom permalink, let's ask ourself what is a Permalink? Permalink is the Permanent URL parameter for a link.

Now custom Permalink means that we can Redfine the URL parameter, and can create a custom one.

For example, the parmalink for this post -on which you're currently landed on is.

http://TrixKing.blogspot.com/2013/07/Custom-Permalink-Blogger-Post

it is not an automatic permalink rather it is defined in the Blogger Post editor.

Custom Permalink importance

Custom permalink is very important for both users and Search Engines, for users it's very easy to remember the full URL for a blog post,  for search engines we bloggers can target a specific keyword,

Without using Custom permalink for blog posts the URL parameter would be long enough and wouldn't be optimize one.

How to Create Custom Permalink?

To Set-up or create custom permalink in blogger is now very easy, while writing a post have a look at the right side, you'll see Links , at the permalink option check the radio button that say, Custom Permalink, now type a custom permalink and separate words with dashes (-). once you finish then click on done.

that's it. Note that only dashes are allowed and Blogger won't allow more than 70 characters. No special characters such as spaces, and sing, percent sign etc.

Does Custom Permalink Help?

Custom permalink is an enhanced feature by Google Blogger, and personally i Love it. Now whenever i will write a post, i will give a custom URL parameter (Custom Permalink) to my blogger post and can help readers of my Blog to know on which topic i am talking on. It also help search engines because now we have  an Optimized URL.

But there's a problem, By default your email subscribers are receiving Full Posts, which is not effective in two ways, one for the owner of blog, (Why you're delivering complete post? why not they receive short posts because if they are interested then they will click on post title and will read your post, thus you get visitors from feedburner). Second for subscribers, why they are receiving long posts -what if- they not interested in that post?

Alexa Ranking and it's Potential Vs Google Page Rank

Tweet

All bloggers know well about the Google Page Ranking regarding their site. However most of the people are not well concern on their other methods of ranking. There are number of page rankings in addition to the Google PR. AS an example Yahoo, Alexa are some of very important and well known ranking methods. Therefore I think we must also concern well on

Alexa ranking in addition to the Google page ranking.

Potentials of the Alexa ranking:-

We all are much concern on Google ranking. That is because of the usage of ranking in Google search results. But what is the importance of Alexa is also a very important question to think about. According to the new global trends on internet marketing they give there much concern on Alexa even more than the Google PR. The reason for that is the simple ranking system of Alexa. When you get Google rank it is a number from 0 to the 10. It will not give any sense for viewer if they are not well known about the ranking system. But in the Alexa you get a ranking for your site considering all the other web sites in the world. Although it is a simple number from 1 to 10,000,000 or even more, the mechanism of generating the ranking for the site is quite complex. But it is not complex as the Google.

For the building up of the ranking they will consider the mount of traffic that you get, number of backlinks, quality of each backlinks, time in the site like various parameters.

In addition to the World and the Island ranking of websites It helps users to find out the traffic, geography of the traffic, keyword potential and various other very important details. That may be the reason why the business people likes to consider the Alexa ranking when they are going to get backlinks, advertising area or any other thing in your site. Therefore I suggest all of you to have look on alexa ranking for your site.

Induce the Alexa ranking of a website:

When I got to know that the Alexa-I wanted to have a good ranking on there. But, earlier my rank was about 10,000,000. So I tried to tricks for induce the Alexa ranking. Although there was not adequate amount on how to increase the alexa ranking, I tried some and get my rank up to the 150,000 with in 2 months. So, my experiments are effective and achievable by any person.

There are several number of tricks to increase your Alexa ranking. Even though there are not thousand of tricks they can cause the sudden increase of your Alexa ranking. I have listed some of them in here.

• Learn How to improve Alexa Ranking Fast

Submit Your site to Alexa:

Normally it takes about 3 months to 6 months for your site getting raked by Alexa. Therefore it is better to submit the site for quick ranking. 

Paid registration:

In the Alexa there are several types of accounts. If you use a premium on you can come to the top soon. Therefore use such if you are really in need of getting good increase in the site ranking. But even with out that I could not get good position. Therefore you also do not even need a premium accounts to good ranking.

Install Script:

For the better traffic data you have to show them how our site works. For that they will ask for you to insert that script. You should insert it between your <head></head> tags.

Alexa Banner:

You can ask insert a Alexa banner with your rank and ask others to review.

Although Google does not give any important of increasing the rank by clicking a banner alexa works so.

And comments about your site in Alexa can cause good ranking to your site.

You may think above methods are not effective. But I know these are the most important tips but also which are being missed. In addition to the above methods you can use lot of other SEO methods to generate good ranking as same as the Google.

Build good number of quality backlinks:

AS all we know there different types of backlinks which may be effective or not. I only likes to build effective ones. That mean the quality baclinks. But how you can do it? I think if you built at least 5 per day in good sites you will 600 backlinks in 1 month.  But that is also not necessary to have. Even 100 – 200 is enough. You can built some backlinks and induce your site.

There might be other uses and technicalities involved in FeedBurner but I'm going to explain this with the perspective of bloggers (especially newbies...). So the thing is, whenever you publish a new post, it will be delivered to the users who subscribed your blog via email.
By default the post you published will be delivered complete.

the tool we will used is Summary burner.
