In this small article, we tell you how to make use of the  signal of 'experience' for your website's search engine optimization.  And that is not difficult. You do not need to be an SEO expert to implement this. Google now gives high importance to creator experience If you are even slightly interested in search engine optimization (SEO), you would have learnt that Google has an age-old concept of E-A-T (expertise, authority, trust) for judging the quality of websites. Recently it said, it has included one more 'E' to this to account for experience.  You can visit the announcement at this link to Google announcement on experience added to quality rating guidelines   That means, Google now considers web content that has been created by experienced creators as more important as compared to that created by others.  But how does Google get the signal for experience? Going by the latest rater guidelines issued by Google, people or organizations that deal with that to...

After the onset of Covid-19 in 2020, we have been slow in publishing informative and helpful posts for blogger friends. However, we have regularly brought out the directories of best Indian blogs and best Hindi blogs as per schedule.  At the end of a calendar year, we have been doing some minor updates to the directories.

हिंदी के श्रेष्ठ ब्लॉगों ( top Hindi blogs ) की डायरेक्टरी का 12वां संस्करण 1 सितम्बर 2022 को जारी किया गया. इसमें करीब एक सौ ब्लॉग हैं. इन्हें ब्लॉग के URL के मुख्य भाग के अनुक्रम में लगाया गया है.  आप में से जो लोग इस डायरेक्टरी के इतिहास को जानते हैं, उन्हें पता होगा कि शुरू में जो ब्लॉग इस डायरेक्टरी में सम्मिलित किये जाते थे, वो केवल व्यक्तिगत (personal) ब्लॉग होते थे, लेकिन जैसे-जैसे समय बदलता गया, ब्लॉगिंग का महत्व सोशल नेटवर्किंग और वीडियो शेयरिंग प्लेटफॉर्म्स में तेज़ी से बढ़ोतरी के चलते कम होता गया. अब पर्सनल ब्लॉगिंग कम हो चली है और वेब/ सोशल मीडिया में अन्य विधाएँ काफी हद तक इसका स्थान ले चुकी हैं. इस वजह से ब्लॉगिंग का चरित्र बहुत बहुत बदल गया है.  इस दौरान हमने हिंदी ब्लॉगिंग में जो बड़े बदलाव देखे हैं, उनपर थोड़ी चर्चा कर लेते हैं.  अब हिंदी में जो पर्सनल ब्लॉग ठीक से चल रहे हैं, वो अधिकतर उन लोगों के हैं जिन्हें लिखने-पढ़ने का शौक है. इनमें से अधिकतर अपने ब्लॉग को हॉबी या जुनून (passion) की तरह चलाते हैं और ब्लॉग से पैसे कमाना उनका उद्द...

The 12th edition of the  Directory of Best Indian Blogs  has been released today, the 1st of June 2022. The list of top Indian blogs in English has about two hundred entries. These blogs excel in content quality, regularity and overall blog resources, and meet a minimum design standard. They also show the blogger's commitment to blogging.  While we call the blogs listed in the Directory as the best blogs in India, there are many more that go under our radar or we have to exclude them. It is partly due to their content-quality or regularity not meeting our standards. Partly it is due their becoming too business-like or maintaining the blog like a stand-alone website (a static home page, no archives, etc.). Yes, it is also partly because we have not been able to discover them. We look into blogrolls, other lists of good blogs, recommendations... We also receive hundreds of submissions on email. But we have to be discreet in choosing 'the best blogs in India'.  Till mid...

So, to help out, we’ve prepared a guide on the seven blogging trends to watch in 2022!  Daily posting  If you are looking to learn more about blogging and trends to improve yourself, the following might seem very daunting: post daily!

If a blog does not post for a while, it may seem like its content is less relevant and up to date, no matter what the subject is. Of course, if you are just one person running a blog alone, then do not run yourself ragged. It is still better to post...
