Balkhis - Vision For Success

Break Dance Battles (Soul Cypher 7) - Past couple days

Well finally I have found time to write about what I have been doing the past couple days. Well my roommate is into Break Dancing battle (Soul Cypher 7). They were having a huge battle with all the crews from different places. I decided to sponsor it with Balkhis because they were looking for some promotion. I also realize there is not a quality resource for these guys online therefore I have decided to start on a project that deals with Hip - Hop Culture specially Break Dancing.

I dont know how many of you watch MTV, but there was a show called America’s Dance Show. It was on yahoo TV as well. One of the crews from there (Enigma) was at the battle. #1 Bboy in Florida was at the battle with his crew. I get to talk to all of these cool people and I also got a chance to take pictures with them. Lucky me got to sit with the judges when the battle was going on. I was also invited to a bigger battle by one of the judges who is the CEO of Funk Revival Entertainment. He invited me to attend a battle in Hollywood Florida. I might go there because it is just crazy to see all these moves.

Along with the Break Dancing Battle, there was a popping battle as well. This 9 year old ended up winning the battle. He whopped everyone’s ass. This kid can be the next Micheal Jackson! I am posting the videos on my youtube channel. They are a bit dark because of the fact that it was dark except for one spot light. Feel free to watch and enjoy it.

Below are some of the pictures with me and the BBoy world’s superstars:

Sorry about last night

Alright everyone, as you all know last night this blog was reverted back to april 1st in the process of a server transfer. We moved to a more powerful server, but it caused me loosing about 30 subscribers in one night just because the blog was reverted. I think I will get my readers to subscribe again hopefully. I just wanted to apologize for all the inconvenience.

I caught it this morning because I was extremely busy for the past two days hence the low activity on the blog from my end. I sponsored a Break Dancing Battle on Behalf of Balkhis and my new project that is going to be done hopefully by late June. I have some exciting pictures and videos for you guys which I will update later on the days as well as a Tip Sunday post coming after this one.

I am hoping that you guys stay with me on this one. Once again sorry for the all the trouble.

Title and Alt tags

An organized website tends to rank higher than others. What makes a website organized other than the designing aspects, and quality content? Title and alt tags are another thing that is needed in the website for it to be an organized website.

I am sure most of you know what alt tags are. Alt tags are attribute tags which are mostly used with images. The essential of these tags are so important, that even w3 requires them for your website to be XHTML valid. While many designers, don’t use alt tags, and if they do they leave it blank. It is your responsiblity to go in your design and add the alt tags. Personally when I design, I add alt tags to all my images just so the design is xhtml valid, but I leave majority of them blank other than the navigation buttons because I don’t know which keywords the owner wants to target. Therefore, I would seriously recommend you guys to check the attribute tags in your website and give your images an attribute. This tag is also the one to replace the image when it is broken, so if your image is broken then this tag would take over, so the user knows what was suppose to load there.

Title tags are another essential element of your website which is used to rank high for your targetted keywords. Basically in each hyperlink that you enter in the website, It is eligible for the title tag. A good example of this would be, when I write Balkhis in a place where I am really counting on my backlink, I make the hyperlink small, but the title tag would be Balkhis - Vision for Success. You can’t abuse the url by keep linking really long keywords, but this way you can actually target a wider range of audience. These long keywords can often rank. I have seen some people even use sentences in their title tag. Such as Uzzz Productions is your web solution provider instead of Uzzz Productions - Your perfect Web Solutions. These techniques often get you rank higher in search engines which means that you are getting traffic indirectly by following these methods.

I know I am using these tags in my website, and I try to use it in most of my images. I am getting alot of traffic from long-tailed keywords. I think this is definately worth a shot.

Organic linking?

Google has gone on a road trip of banning paid links. Which is causing users to either stay away from buying links or getting their site banned when they are trying to buy links. I believe it is a time to get Organic links. Organic links are genuine links that are gained when some site like your services and link to you. Such as your blog posts being quoted on other websites. But it does become a really hard task to get tons of organic backlinks. Is it possible to trick Google and make the paid link looks like that it is organic?

This is just a theory which has not been 100% tested, though I am trying it just to increase my knowledge.

I never really buy alot of links, but now a days many users are claiming that template sponsorship and sponsorship of these kinds are also being considered Paid Links, but I believe that is only if you use the same keyword to redirect the link to your homepage with no rel tags. Recently, I have started adding rel=”" tags in the links. I have been adding rel=”friend”, rel=”partner” and such type of tags in the links that I have been adding on Balkhis. Another trick that I am thinking about is mainly concernced with templates, but I believe it can be used in other areas also. When I am releasing the template, instead of linking to my homepage, but if I make the links more relative such as Linking to the template page, I believe it would work.

So try to buy links in your own industry and don’t try to be too obvious. Start linking to your inner pages which will make your website more stronger on all pages. Another thing, I have been thinking that now from paid links, alot of people will be switching to Blog Post Reviews because people are paying for a blog review by the writer. Therefore they are going to get organic links and a (honest) review. Sometimes the credibility of the author comes in question, but mostly smart bloggers give honest reviews rather than just writing positive reviews.

I would like to hear the thoughts of my users and other Search Engine Marketers. What do you think about these techniques? What other techniques if any you have.
