If you are looking for information on Turkish internet scene, wordpress themes, design resources and internet income, you need to follow me.

You should follow me on Twitter here.

For example, many people do not use the <- more -> tag in their posts. Eventhough it’s easier for the visitor to read your recent news, it has a few setbacks:

1. Duplicate content: You will be showing the same content on the post page, frontpage and the archive pages. If your not a an authority site like johnchow.com or read/write web, this might hurt your rankings alot.
2. Why subscribe then?: In my logic, there should be a reason for a person to signup to your rss feed: having fast access to your sites content. If you are already showing him the full content on the main page, there is no incentive to signup.
3. 2 different feeds: As I have mentioned in my previous article “So you switched to Feedburner RSS“, some people do not change their wordpress feed urls in their header.php files. Don’t forget to change it!

I thank everyone who have signed up to my rss feed. I will be having special contents for people who are subscribed. If you don’t want to miss it, please subscribe to my rss feed.

So I checked my logs only to see that my design give-away has been published in weblog tools collection and the author is Shamus himself. I didn’t know he was an author in weblog tools collection at the first place, so it was a bit of shock for me. This shows importance of keeping in touch with other bloggers. On the other hand, he just turned me into a dead person for the next couple of months. I will probably dehydrate and die in front of the computer screen while designing a theme :)

Don’t worry about it though! I will do my best each and every time. It doesn’t mean I won’t make a design for you if I didn’t send you an email. It just means that its not your turn yet, so please be patient. I would love it if you guys could mention this in your own blogs which will increase the chances of getting a design before others :)

Site traffic is monitored using Extreme Tracking, which is a very reliable service. Here are the unique visitor counts for last 20 days of Cherez.com. Also, when you are there, take a look around, because cherez.com is one of “THE most modified wordpress website ever“.

As you can see unique visitors are about 4000/day and currently, cherez.com has only 504 pages indexed in Google. That’s what I call Search Engine Optimization.

It might take a little time for google to index some of the searches, but I will try my best to decrease the time. I am hoping to double the traffic as the indexed pages in Google increases to somewhere around 2000.

Bildirgec.org is Turkey’s 71th most visited website according to Alexa. I have reviewed their website back in May and they were listed as 91st back then. Eventough the traffic effect is not as big as sites likes Digg.com, its enough for me to reach my goal for now. I got about 1200 uniques more than what I get usually. Here is how my stats plugin looks like in WordPress dashboard:

Turkhitbox.com Alexa ranking also got a boost and placed me around 18,000 levels for now. This should mean higher text link ads income.

I know I don’t have Feedburner widget, but it’s because I was scared to place my widget with a low count especially every blogger easily has more than 150 subscribers nowadays. Thanks to some of the Bildirgec visitors, my feedburner counter increased to 76 from somewhere around 50. I shall place the counter with my new design.

So, go to google.com and make a search for “site:extremetracking.com/open ref2″ followed by a main keyword. I searched for adsense using “site:extremetracking.com/open ref2 adsense”. You need to have a space between the search phrase and the keyword at the end. I wanted to keep the results relevant to “adsense”.

But google does not list them by traffic or importance. I used the PageRank Search tool that I have used in my Using Post Text Link Ads Effictively post. Remember to choose Pagerank for the Sort By option and 100 for the number of results option. And when the results page come up, change the number value at the end of the url to something like 10000 and press enter.

Now look at the top 10 pages and go the part that says “All Keywords” and try to form long tail keywords from the top three keywords that generated the most traffic. Happy keyword finding and wait for more innovative and unheard SEO techniques from Turk Hit Box! :)
