“Blog and Ping” is a term that refers to a technique where you make a post on your blog, and using your blog software’s in-built feature, you then send out a “ping” to various blog directories, notifying them that you have added a new post to your blog.

A “ping” is a way of notifying various blog directories and blog search engines, in an industry standard way, that you have just made a post on your blog. This is nothing but a signal sent from your blog (pinger) to the target directory (or aggregator service) that you are actually pinging (the pingee), and this signal contains the URL of your post. Following this, the pingee picks up the URL and content from your post, and when someone on that site searches for keywords contained in your post, then your post shows up in their search results.

Search engines (especially Google) love blogs, because blogs are full of “useful” content (at least they are supposed to be).

In November 2006, I personally noticed one of my main sites suddenly drop a few places from position #2 to #8 in Google’s SERP (search engine results pages). Now Google sends me about 80% of my total traffic to this site, and as soon as my site dropped to #8, it went “below the fold” (meaning, out of the view of the first part of the results page that appears when you do a search, and the only way to see it is to scroll down a little). And I immediately saw my Adsense earnings drop about 80%!

Sidebar: That just goes to show you that even having a “top 10″ listing on Google (or any search engine for that matter) is no good, because not many would search beyond the first 2-3 web sites, especially if the top 2-3 sites give the user what they are looking for, or lead them on to other things from there so the user never comes back to Google to look further down

I wasn’t sure what caused this to happen, but I quickly made some modifications to the site, moved some stuff around, published some new content on my blog, pinged all directories I am aware of, removed some external links that I suspected might have triggered some Google-spam-filter, and also used Google’s SiteMap tool to ping Google of my changes, and within 48 hours, my site was back to position #2. God bless Google!

So, the concept of pinging is a pro-active way of letting other sites know that you have made some changes on your site or blog.

Especially with Google, when you ping Google using the sitemap tool, you can see how quickly Googlebot (Google’s spider) comes knocking. This is especially useful in situations like my scare-scenario above, where I hurriedly made some changes, wanted Google to know right away that I had indeed made some changes, and wanted my changes to be considered when calculating my ranking the next time around.

That is exactly what Google did - it liked my changes, and/or just the fact that I had made some changes, so got brownie points for being a “good publisher”, and gave me my Adsense earnings back.

Moral of the story: Never fudge with Google - not if you are making any money at all from Adsense.

Be a “Good publisher”, publish often, publish white-hat, build good, quality content, and The Google will reward you with gold and adsense dollars.

Many online dating sites ask that you supply a direct header message (opening line) that shows up  below your username as people do searches. A lot of people do not know what to set up here and finish with generic headings like, “I might be the one for you” or “hi”.

It is critical that you apply this space to produce a profile heading subject matter that compels attention - something ingenious, amusing, or unemotional that will cause an individual to want to click on your profile and study it.

There are numerous factors that go into producing a profile that people will desire to click to study. One is your photograph, another comprises your username, and then there’s your heading. Here are four precise hints for producing an expert profile heading:

1) Avert dull and Overused headings

When an individual can’t decide on what to articulate for their heading content, they normally fall back to basic and overused headings suchlike “I might be the one” or “searching to contact new people.”

You do not need to appear average. There are tens of 1000s of singles vying with you in a pursuit to find that “flawless” partner. Hence make certain that the heading you use will appeal the attention of other singles. Which one of these four online dating profile headings would draw in your attention?

“Hi”

“You might be the One I’m searching”

“Searching to Meet hot People”

“I’m Willing to Lie About How We Got Together!”

Three from those are overused. One adopts an amusing approach to the concept of saying to others how you got together. It’s unusual and smart. Make certain your heading is rare in a sea of commonness.

2) Examine different Profile headings

One of the better ways to create a successful dating profile heading is to examine headings other people use that matter to you. What is it about the heading that causes you to want to click on their profile and discover more? Here are  some of our favourites (a few funny, a few philosophical, and some plainly intelligent):

“We create a magic couple: I’ve have the brains and you have got the body!”

“Alright, I’m here. Now what’s your additional two wishes?”

“Bright spark searching to ignite common paths”

“Precisely like a new job, I provide excellent benefits.”

“Strangers are acquaintances waiting to be established.”

Apply the perceptivity you gain from studying interesting profile headings to produce your own.

3) Apply Your heading as a Filter

One of the greatest complaints we discover from online dating members is the amount of singles who contact them that are not what they’re searching for .It possibly could be a man 15 years their senior or somebody who’s physical structure type does not equate what you want. Whenever you want to improve the pursuit shown to you by eligible responders, then commence by using your heading to filter out unwanteds. For instance:

“Seeking fit 24-30 year old male single inside 20 miles of City of the Angels”

By producing a filter, when an individual who does not fit your criteria discovers your heading they are probably likely to carry on on. However when a “fit 24-30 year old local male” studies the heading, it draws him because he fulfills your criteria. Here are some genuine filter type content headings we’ve seen singles use on online dating sites:

“Must be at minimum 5′10″ to advance on this ride”

“Please be localised, healthy, over 40, and have a REAL picture.”

“Loving men appear to be nonexistent. If you’re extinct, contact me at once.”

“I love an adult male in uniform. Military gentlemen, apply within.”

Better your matches by applying your subject heading to filter your outcomes!

4)Alter Your Header subject matter

It is always a sound idea to keep your profile refreshing by rotating your pictures and altering your header subject matter once in awhile. Every week produce a new and clever, imaginative, or filtered content heading. Contrasting subject headers appeal to different people, consequently you may reach “new” singles by keeping your header new and updated.

To succeed with online dating you need to stop and think about it. Like anything in life that is popular, online dating sites are full of competitors just as eager as you are to find the “one” Successful members using online dating sites use a strategy to succeed! What will your individual online dating strategy be that could change your life forever?
