Google Webmaster Guidelines

Google Webmaster Guidelines - The number of search engines on internet is so numerous, thousands or perhaps tens of thousands. Does our blog need to optimize to all search engines? Even Kang Rohman himself focus on Google only as the biggest search engine.


Why should focus on one search engine only, and not to all search engines? Because each search engines has algorithm itself. Just wasting time to understand the character of each search enginesbecause it need long time to do.


Why should pay attention on Google and not others such as Yahoo or Bing? This is only an option, if you want to focus on Yahoo optimization, go on, if you want to focus on Bing optimization, go ahead.

Basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

This paper describes the basics of SEO. To master the SEO it helps you understand the basics of SEO. This paper I got from fellowblogger, then I translate into English. Please read : 



As Kang Rohman wrote in the previous that Blogspot Tutorial will be focused to study SEO (Search Engine Optimization) especially for bloggers/ BlogSpot users. I just want to skim someone’s opinions out there that blogger engine is not SEO friendly, it certainly not true because all get back to the engine users itself, whether to use blogger, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. If you didn’t understand how to apply various SEO techniques on the engine you used, it just a big zero.

Previously, Kang Rohman wants to instill the basic concepts of SEO that you should to remember, there are among others:
  1. Natural and think like human being
  2. Search engine indexes the blog content
  3. SEO is a competition
  4. SEO techniques is not only one
  5. Natural And Thinking Like Human Being

In research, there are similarities in pattern of thinking between search engine and human being, perhaps it because the programmer of search engine is indeed human being. Here are a few:

Search engine prefers blogs with original posting. In real world, other people’s act of piracy is consider unpleasant and it’s against all aspects of community, as well as search engine itself, it refers blogs with original contents than those with other blogs copied from another resources or in other word copy paste.
Don’t like to be deceived. In SEO there is term named Black Hat SEO, that is SEO optimize which applies search engine deception technique for examples hidden text, hidden link, keyword repetition, etc. which basically are deception techniques, and some of techniques that are not desirable by the search engine.
Glad to informative blogs. Many people pay attention to others just because the others often to put forward some useful information, as well as personal or especially for public. Search engine is the same.
Do not like excessive. Only few peoples who like overact behavior, as well as search engine it doesn’t like overload blogs.

Like the recommended blogs by many parties. Search engine would like the recommendation, in this case is given a backlink by other blogs. Backlink in blogosphere is like recommendation or endorsement.
And many others

Or maybe you have heard about “Content Is the King”, it’s not apart from the search engine has indexes what you have provide in blog and forward it in search engine.
