The past several weeks were dedicated to the creation of links, SEO and traffic on the WordPress blog. The fact is that all these three web operational programs are created on each other and connected with three of them. Here the speech is going to be about the efficiency of the WordPress blog.

There are a lot of fine things that WordPress has in order to make your site work efficient. But even if you think that everything looks nice the website may come across different problems. The first thing to begin with is to get started using Google Webmaster Tools if not used, as it will show you the site and give useful recommendations how to make it not only look better but and work much more fluent.

There may also appear a duplicate difficulty with the content. Even using the All-in-One Seo plugin you may not avoid your content from duplication even though it is expected to have canonical link. As at first sight your site looks fine but in reality it may have a lot of repeated posts. This thing causes lounging. But is better to lounge Google time with WordPress blog that with any other. Using a Google bot tracker you will not be satisfied with the way it shows the work of the Google spidering your site

The difference between the webmaster tools and the Google bot is that the first just gives you the amount of times your content was spidered while the bot also gives the amount of pages that is unnecessary.

One can be dismayed finding out the lounging of the Google juice on categories and tags. So it is better to give Google 150 different blog posts if it hits your site 150 times per day. Having 20 tags in one post it is better to give Google 2 different posts with 20 different links. Then Google chooses the page with the highest priority turning 200 posts into 20.

In order to achieve this one must have some spare time. First of all do not try to shut off the Google bot but instead just all the necessary modifications.
1. In order to inform Google about the place of the main blog posts set up the canonical link.
2. It is better to manually check whether you drive search engine spiders to your blog posts and not to categories, archives, site maps and so on.
3. Use permalink redirect plugin in order to provide Google with your changed permalinks.
4. Check your site map for being actual.
5. Constantly check your site for mistakes with the help of the Google Webmaster Tools in order help your blog work fluently.
6. With the help of the Google Analytics track visitors to your site

If you take advantage of a multifarious public media platforms for the advancement of your business it is expedient to cross assist the media that you create by means of various comprehensible channels, and to try to play on the peculiar efficacy of every of the platforms.

Performing like this you enlarge the visibility of your content to a wider audience so, you have more people involved in your brand.

For instance, if you have already created a fan base on Facebook, but only have started on Twitter or YouTube, you can advertise it to you Facebook attendees which are more opened for cooperation with a brand.

Showing you info to a large number of people, you enhance the probability that they will spread it to share within their circle.

Such blogging platform as WordPress will make it easy to join your content.

These are 5 possibilities to do so:

1. Take you Twitter into your Facebook.

2. Take the blog updates out into your Facebook.

Just like this you can take out your Twitter into the Facebook or through WordPress. This enables you to show the content to more people and you can regularly add the new content to it. To do this you have to enter the Facebook into the EDIT, then enter IMPORT A BLOG. Write down the address.

3. Publish your updating blog on to Twitter.

The name of your blog together with the reference to the post is an easy way of showing the blog to a larger audience. Nevertheless, you should show restraint when you do it. You should rather do it manually than automatically as you can select the very info that you want giving it a worth title.

4. Advance your Facebook Page.

By advancing your Facebook Page you give the visitors of your content the possibility to express their opinion and even ask questions. To do this you have to install the Facebook Page Badge. 

5. Equip your blog with a share button.

The easiest method for your info to be shared is by using the share buttons that allow your readers to spread the content. You can do this with the help of the AddThis service. They allow you to design the button to fit your site. You can also have a statistic data of the shared material.

A ‘like’ button is planned to be located at the end of every article posted on the website, exactly like the feature on Facebook, a social networking website. Its function is simple - if a reader ‘likes’ an article, its author is able to look through the profile of the reader. The feature was designed with the intention to facilitate interaction between blog owners sharing the same interests and hobbies.

Bloggers now have an opportunity to reblog the post they ‘like,’ which means that they can filter and republish the material from another website, not necessarily in the original form, but with added comments to the article in order to gain better readership. Moreover, WordPress.com also allows the blog owners to keep track of all the articles they ‘like’.

As many of WordPress users are already aware of the ‘like’ feature via Facebook, this button will be of great interest to them. Most of the avid bloggers on WordPress voiced their opinions on the new feature, saying that they welcome the new possibility while still seeing merit in the old way of leaving comments. They admit that reblogging a post they ‘like’ is quite useful, as well as the option of browsing all the articles they have ‘liked’, close to starring mails on Gmail. However, they say to prefer that their viewers left an expanded comment, criticizing or relating to content of the post, so they are happy the old comment option remained available.

For those who doesn’t know what we are talking about: the blog host WordPress.com launched for use in 2005, and now accounts for over 11 million individual blogs. It is popular and commonly used mainly because of using an open source platform WordPress as an instrument to publish the material.

It is clear that in the nowadays market of smartphones it is does not much lacks applications to enlarge its functional features.

Supporting a sectorial trend to security system reference resources, The Guardian (UK newspaper) entered another sphere by proposing available syndicate material to bloggers using WordPress enhancement.

The Guardian News Feed proposes a complete spectrum of Guardian nature using the inner menuing system but the bloggers have to negotiate the non publishing of the material together with its logograph and advertisement.

The Head of the Guardian Department, Matt McAlister stated that past month they have declared the authoritative availableness of the Guardian Open Platform for commercial activity adding that the WordPress enhancement is a wonderful model of strengthening our key place as the pioneer in the digitized technical process.

Bloggers will have the opportunity to look through our material using the WordPress platform and to decide what to add to their blogs. We will insert advertisements into the material in order to create a worldwide advertisement community for the Guardian; still the bloggers will have the possibility to preserve any incomes gained by them.

We must state that we were greatly surprised after having a quick testing of the enhancement as one thing wasn’t present in the advertisement and the WordPress plugin page, being the real work of the screenshots.

The installation is quite simple but you have to log in for receiving an API key; it is easy but with some restrictions with the API calls, but we are not ready to name them due to a short period of practice. It should be noted that the plugin renews the information and after this you have to push past the limit of the API call, only if you have a lot of data from the Guardian, as this can effect the information, due to your WordPress setup.

The process of advertising is amazing and encouraging: compared with the preceding endeavours, the Guardian material becomes a normal WordPress ad vs. an iFrame or search mechanism hostile inculcate. In our checking the advertisement represented a box of 300×250 placed after the post. So, what to propose, a just change.

Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and WordPress platform, has recently redeveloped and introduced a content encouragement service named Plinky. The service was created as an attempt to ease the block woes of the post writers in order to encourage them to create more articles.

Plinky has got several techniques to encourage the writers, inspirational questions being the main of them. In fact, the service provides the writers with different prompts targeted at inspiring content, like asking the question “What’s something you never believed until you experienced it?” and then suggesting to give it an answer, and, if you wish, a couple of words so that it could provide the writher with some images to add to the post.

Thing Labs, an establishment created by ex-Googler, has kicked out this solution a year ago. Unfortunately, three months ago the company announced that it was too busy working on another solution, Brizzly, and prefers it to Plinky.

The company’s statement said that the developers’ team recognized it has put plenty of work into Plinky, and didn’t deny it was a great site. Meanwhile, the developers felt Brizzly had much more to offer than Plinky could ever dreamt of.

Here comes Automattic. Known as the content-loving enterprise, Automattic purchased Thing Labs’ rejected solution (for an undisclosed price). The company hoped to provide users of WordPress platform with a means to return into writing, if they experience any troubles with it.

The Automattic's developers remind everyone of being in the writer block, when it seemed like you would never write any other sound word. That‘s what a new service called Plunky was restored for – to give such writers a little creative push and awake the muse. Every weekday it provides a prompt, most often in the form of a question or a challenge, suggesting you to type in your answer.

We will still have to see if it really succeeds in inspiring the new posts, but, anyway, isn’t it nice to see someone's digital trash becoming the other one's digital treasure?

You can try the solution yourself to see if it is really working. Content encouragement service has already been introduced, and if you want to start using it, all you have to do is to sign up for Plunky separate account. After doing this, add your WordPress.com website to Plinky and start out creating!
