What is Link Building or optimal link building?

Filled under:

If you are an online business, you probably know that its success largely depends on your position in the Google website. The closer to the top is a link to the search result, more users will click on it. So, for webmasters, it is important to optimize their websites for search engines and receive the highest rank for your pages as possible.

The search engine optimization is the process of taking action that the website developed to be highly qualified by the search engines on the outcome of each need expressed by the Internet user.

The key to obtaining a higher PageRank is building links will optimal. Building high quality links to your website that are natural to the search engines is one of the most important steps to increase your page rank or PR.


Why are links so important to your online success?
Here are two main reasons:
1) The links to your site are indexed by search engines establishing a ranking between landing pages with keywords that have been used . He who has a higher rank in the search engine, you will get more visitors (and sales) possibly.

2) The links are used by search engines to determine the relevance of the web page, using terms that have been used in the search. By building links, relevant websites, make sure they are index and ranked by search engines accordingly.

Design link
normally a link consists of two parts:

1) URL (Uniform Resource Locator). This is the web address of the site and its binding sites. 2) Anchor text. This is the visible text of the link.

HTML code to generate this link would be:

<A http://www.wbupdates.com/2012/06/promotion-of-sites-in-present.html> Promotion of sites in the present conditions </ a>

First <---- URL ----> Then <- anchor text ->

Having the keywords related to your site in anchor text is one of the key elements of link building or to get a high PageRank.


Incoming and outgoing
An inbound link is a link pointing to your page from another page hosted on another website. An outgoing link is on your website and points to another website.

Outgoing and reciprocal links
Like I said, a link pointing to a website from another website is outgoing. The following image is a link between Page 1 and Page 2.

output link
Sometimes, webmasters can agree to exchange links with each other. These links are called reciprocal. The image below shows linkages between page 1 and page 2.

reciprocal link

The first way links has become more valuable than reciprocal links because the search engines "guess" the secret agreements between webmasters to exchange links, and can often rule out this type of links that are created with the only developed seduce the fact finder. However, reciprocal links can still be useful in most important pages that have interesting content related.

Well, I hope I have shed some light on this issue, so basic but often neglected when it comes to establishing yourself as a leader in the market in which you work.
Yes, it is true, may seem an explanation for beginners, but I'm really tired of seeing Many reputable sites with link building lousy.


So, welcome beginners and also those who do not want to admit being rookies refresh her memory.

The time in WordPress and how to make it more readable: the classic "X days ago"

The time in WordPress and how to make it more readable: the classic "X days ago"
Lately more and more I see a beautiful way to express the creation date of a post: "X days ago" or "X minutes ago '. I think that besides being more readable displays a nearest time reference for the reader, that at a glance you can assess whether the site has been updated today.

WordPress offers a very user-friendly feature: human_time_diff ($ from, $ to) . The first parameter, $ from , is the earliest date and the second, $ to , is the closest date to today.WordPress calculates the time difference and directly returns a string style 'X days' or' X minutes. " Practically not have to do anything except that these dates must be in Unix format.

To do so, the parameter $ from is the date of creation of the post and the $ to be the current date. The Codex is well explained:

echo human_time_diff( get_the_time('U') , current_time('timestamp') );

get_the_time ('U') gets the date of creation of the post (we will be inside the Loop to run) in Unix format and current_time ('timestamp') the current date in Unix format also. As we said, this statement returns a string of type 'makes X days / minutes'.

Well, this is not bad but do it right, either. For all dates on our website thus leaving the filter will use the_time if our templates we are using the function the_time () . If we are showing the dates by using the get_the_time () , use the filter get_the_time :

$time = human_time_diff( get_the_time('U') , current_time('timestamp') );
echo sprintf( __( 'hace %s', 'dominio' ), $time );

Thus, in all of our posts appear on the far more readable format.

Warn employees of your WordPress when your articles are published

Filled under: ,

Warn employees of your WordPress when your articles are published
If you have a collaborative blog like this, and let other people create articles with the partner profile, which requires approval of content before publication, sure you needed this trick.

As WordPress does not have an internal system to alert employees when their articles are published pending review , and is - to say the least - an essential courtesy.


For this there are a few options to value ...

Notify publication ... using code ...

With a simple code, added to your plugin function , can warn employees of your blog when your articles are published, and thank pitch.

This, in particular, is the code I use here in WordPress Help :


//Avisa a los autores de la publicación de sus posts
function avisoAutor($post_id) {
   global $wpdb;
   $post = get_post($post_id);
   $author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
   $message = "
      Hola ".$author->display_name.",
      Tu artículo, ".$post->post_title." ya está publicado, ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos!
   ";
   wp_mail($author->user_email, "Tu artículo se ha publicado", $message);
}
add_action('publish_post', 'avisoAutor');


Save the changes and you're done. Simply personalize the messages if you wish.

Warn publication ... with plugins ...

If you do not want, or do not you dare even to add a little code, there are some plugins that offer virtually the same. Here are two examples, one very simple and a rather more complete:

  1. Edit Flow : full-featured management plugin corporate blogs, among its many utilities, including the notice to employees when they post their tickets. If you just want the functionality of the notice to employees is too plugin for you, but in any case I encourage you to try it, is a fantastic plugin.
  2. Change Notifier WP Status : This version becomes accurate code plugin that I have made ​​before. The caveat is that to customize the messages you need to edit the plugin php file, it has no adjustment to it. Otherwise it works perfectly. As you can tell plus also if an entry is not approved, if you refuse.


Warn employees of your WordPress when your articles are published

And I believe that with these choices have to spare. Of course, if you use some other method you tell us.

Reasons to Use WordPress

Filled under:

Reasons to Use WordPress
As I have recently published the reasons for not using WordPress , and even though I already mentioned some good reasons to use WordPress if I believe that, given the changes in the last few months in this CMS, it is time to gather again, perhaps update, a list of good reasons to use WordPress , there are, and piles.

Reasons to Use WordPress


  1. SEO : WordPress since installation is ready to be search engine friendly, reporting from the zero point of the installation of the existence of the new site and its contents. The structure of WordPress themes, perfectly scalable, the permalink structure and categorization canonica do virtually unbeatable. If, in addition, we add a plugin (free) and Platinum SEO Pack or All in one SEO pack we have the perfect tandem for positioning on search engines.
  2. Automatic Updates : keep updated WordPress requires no technical knowledge or the use of additional tools, using the system to have automatic updates per day is a matter of two clicks, as well as very fast and secure.
  3. Open Source : the software being free and open source has many benefits, it is guaranteed not belong to anyone in particular, anyone can improve or expand it, and that customization is limited to only your knowledge and imagination.
  4. Plugins : unlike other CMS, in the vast majority of WordPress plugins (small applications that enhance or extend its features) are free. Best of all is that there are thousands of plugins to do almost everything you can think of, sometimes more.
  5. Topics : As with plugins, there are thousands of them, mostly free, and are really cheap payment or by annual packs at bargain prices . One of the greatest strengths of WordPress is its structure issues that I like to call "deconstructed", to easily identify where in the code goes each block or section, while identifying where to make changes or add features.
  6. Simplicity : WordPress is easy to use, improve and customize, but it is a simple CMS, on the contrary. It is designed for the user who wants a powerful publishing system with minimal training necessary, without limiting their chances.
  7. Scalability : almost as a continuation of the above reason, WordPress can get from zero to infinity, because its simplicity is not at odds with its infinite possibilities of growth, adaptation to new standards, enhancements and customizations. The limit, again, is in the user knowledge and imagination.
  8. Integration : either through plugins, or through small codes, WordPress is seamlessly integrated into other online media, social networks and websites. Share publications, send newsletters, affiliate systems, virtual stores, everything is at your fingertips, from the same interface, just add the required functionality.
  9. Popularity : the fact that WordPress is the most used and popular CMS, leading the web, is a great advantage, because being open source and used by a large number of sites, ensuring constant monitoring and improving code, updates and help between users. Another advantage is that most hosting providers allow the installation of a click or WordPress hosting specialists.
  10. Security : this very virtue of being open source, is also a safety plus, although of course it is accessible to any user Hackers to fix any vulnerability, which in contrast to proprietary software, where internal processes ( and commercial) delaying any upgrade, modify and communicate instantly and available to any community patch necessary. Of course, as with all software, there are safety tips to follow to avoid making things easier undesirables.
  11. Multisite - Multiuser : WordPress is open, can be managed by multiple users with different access levels and permissions, since its installation, and not install anything else you can use a single installation of WordPress to create endless websites in the same domain or subdomains.
  12. Free : either a WordPress.com (with its limitations, which are increasingly less) or installing a WordPress.org on your own server, WordPress is free. Then you decide and if you invest some money in improvements or WordPress.com quality accommodation with the installed version on your server.
  13. Publication : WordPress was born and is the ideal environment to create content to post on the net. The posts and pages editor is simple and powerful at the same time being able to load multimedia content easily, and designed especially for the editor, with its minimalist design and full screen editor.
  14. Mobile : WordPress does not require installing any desktop application to manage completely, either through your smartphone or tablet, or directly in the web administration, you can do anything: install plugins and themes, create content, manage files, upload elements multimedia, backup, everything. The philosophy of WordPress is that you can manage and improve your web wherever you are, alone with your username and password.
  15. Community : by being an open source software and its popularity, you can find help on WordPress in thousands of websites and forums such as here. With millions of WordPress installations and sites, developers offering their knowledge to using and sharing knowledge, using WordPress is up to friends.


Well, I think that is reason enough Any more?

Word limit in WordPress and how to fix it

Filled under:

Word limit in WordPress and how to fix it
There is a limitation of WordPress not well known , only suffered by those who - as a server - have a habit of writing much. I mean the limitation of words / characters that can contain a page or post . Once you overcome your post / page is blank .

I do not know the specific number of characters / words limit (if you have time you put on it), even the reason, some refer to the use of short codes , but fortunately, that's what it is, has solutions ... more .

The first is obvious: write less, that nobody reads both on the web! , but if this "solution" is not an option for you then touch us do something about this ...

Split into multiple pages ... ...

A very clever solution (if smart), is split a lengthy text on multiple pages within the same input / page. This not only get to skip the limitation of WordPress but also is a more effective way to keep your visitors reading, usually fleeing long texts but with paging in several parts, are more likely to keep reading.

If you dare how: WordPress Entries paging .

Stop using short codes ... ...

For some users this will not work, especially with that used for the captions, the familiar caption WordPress adding images and galleries.

There is a solution for short codes stop provoking this ugly bug but as means to modify the installation files better not use it.

Regular Expressions ... (the mother of all solutions) ...

The real problem comes from the engine management of PHP regular expressions, so that the ultimate solution is to change the file php.ini as follows:

  1. Open the php.ini file in the text editor used flat soles (the file is usually in the php installation folder)
  2. Change recursion limit to 200x, or, put it well :: pcre.recursion_limit = 20000000
  3. Backtrack limit changes to 100x, or :: pcre.backtrack_limit = 10000000
  4. Stop and restart Apache (or IIS)


I hope this will solve this ugly problem, and if you know of any other solution feel free in the comments

Nivo Slider for WordPress

Filled under:

Nivo Slider for WordPress
Some time ago I installed on my blog the popular Nivo Slider that allows a wonderful image slider. This extended plugin can be seen in http://nivo.dev7studios.com/ . Now, if you go to download section, you can see that the jQuery version is free , but WordPress has to pay for using it.

Therefore, if it's free for jQuery and WordPress, and also if we eliminate the installation of a plugin in WordPress, with consequent savings in resources , why not do it ourselves?, that was my thought when I installed it on my blog, and with this, I invite you all to decubráis how easy it is and and I feel encouraged to install it manually , following the guidelines below step to tell you.
The first thing we do is to load jQuery in our theme, for which we have two options:

Always use the latest version of jQuery through an html link
Download the latest version of jQuery and deposit it in a theme folder
For the first case , we have to do is place the following lines of code in our file funtions.php


function mimetodo()
if( !is_admin()){
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"), false, '');
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
}
add_action('init', 'mimetodo');

In the second case , we must download the jQuery JavaScript file from this link , and advise you to use the minimized version to save space and improve the load time of the page. The downloaded file, which at the time of writing this post would jquery-1.8.1.min.js, eg place it in a folder called scripts , so that if our song is called temaPrueba , take the following path / wp -content/themes/temaPrueba/scripts/jquery-1.8.1.min.js . In this case, the code needs to be implemented in the functions.php file , would be:


 function mimetodo() {
 if (!is_admin()) {
 wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );
 wp_register_script( 'jquery', '/wp-content/themes/temaPrueba/scripts/jquery-1.8.1.min.js');
 wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
 }
 }
 add_action('init', 'mimetodo');


As can be seen, in the one case as in the other, we have a conditional, so that load jQuery, only when we are not in the administration area. This is because jQuery, and is installed by default with Worpress burden to the administration area, and consequently as the version we carry ourselves and the WordPress default having possibly be different, this distinction should be made ​​to avoid potential conflicts.
Well, with this we have the foundations laid , now go to the actual installation and Nivo Slider for it first thing we must do is to unburden the jQuery plugin called Nivo Slider coming to the page that appears when click this link .
The downloaded file is zipped, and there will be unzipped. We must set a bit in the structure of directories and files it contains, and also in the folder called demo is an example that we can set an example to reproduce the structure and formation of the necessary code in the sheet that we are creating. For now, what we have to do is copy the files jquery.nivo.slider.js and jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js which are the javascript containing instructions for our portfolio we have called scripts , also in this folder file will nivo-slider.css , which contains the presentation code (style sheet), and also as it will copy the folder themes that appear in the document that we have fallen unzipped. remains to clarify how and dependency files directories, I leave to the left a picture of my directory structure , as I have, with an arrow indicating the necessary files from Nivo Slider, which surely will clarify much discussed in the previous paragraph. Okay, now in the file header.php theme we indicate our css files to be used to display the html page, specifically, for this I have the following instructions:
Nivo Slider for WordPress


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/scripts/nivo-slider.css" media="screen" />
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/scripts/ themes/default/default.css" media="screen" />


Also in the footer.php file I included the statement that includes the javascript file that makes the effect Nivo Slider, along with instructions for it, namely I added the following, before the label that indicates the end of the body page.


<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/scripts/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js"></script>


 <script type="text/javascript">
 $(window).load(function() {
 $('#nivoslider').nivoSlider();
 });
 </script>
I used the function bloginfo ('template_url') of WordPress, which gives us the patch to the scripts folder. Finally what remains is to add a set of tags , which contain the images we want to show, and that should be included in place of the page you want appears (I included it in the header.php file as the image slider I appeared on the top of each page of the blog) with the following structure:


<div id="slider">
<div class="slider-wrapper theme-default">
<div class="ribbon"></div>
<div id="nivoslider" class="nivoSlider">
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise1.jpg" data-thumb="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise1.jpg" alt=""/>
               <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise2.jpg" data-thumb="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise2.jpg" alt="" />
               <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise3.jpg" data-thumb="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise3.jpg" alt="" data-transition="slideInLeft" />
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise4.jpg" data-thumb="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise4.jpg" alt=""/>
               <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise5.jpg" data-thumb="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise5.jpg" alt="" />
               <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise6.jpg" data-thumb="<?php        loginfo('template_url');?>/images/cruise6.jpg" alt="" data-transition="slideInLeft" />
</div>
</div>
 </div>
With all this mounting, the effect of slider images should go , and also in a more efficient than load the plugin, which also costs us money. Well then this is it, I hope you like your work, and of course I recommend you do a safeguard of your site , before making these changes, as it should do whenever significant changes are incorporated to the website.
