Not only the visitors but search engines like Google too loves internal links. The visitors/readers feel free to browse your blog if you provide them with most relevant links with your content. Internal linking is very much helpful in <a href="http://pretoproblogger.blogspot.com/2013/07/increasing-your-blog-readers.html" target="_blank">increasing your readers/visitors</a> and ranking if it is implemented wisely. Internal linking is also a good way of <a href="http://pretoproblogger.blogspot.com/2013/07/6-best-ways-of-promoting-your-blog-post.html" target="_blank">promoting you blog posts</a> within your blog.</i><br /> <i><br /></i> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Efficient Use Of Internal Links</h3> <div> <br /></div> <div> Internal Links are only beneficial when implemented correctly and efficiently. Many newbie bloggers do not pay attention to how they are internal linking. Here are few points that many Probloggers use while internal linking :</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Using links relevant to the content: </b>It is quite obvious that if the links will be relevant with your content then only the visitors will click on them.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Placement of the Links: </b>The internal links must be placed where the chances of click is more. You can also place them anywhere in the post by making a column "<i>recommended</i>" or "<i>must read</i>" etc.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Using proper number of links: </b>Do not use too many internal links within a post. Just use the appropriate number of links. Using too many links will make it look SPAM. Using too many internal links might work in sites like Wikipedia but not on your blog.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Using Title of the target post as anchor text: </b>Anchor text is the text that links the pages. Many newbie bloggers do not choose the anchor text correctly and often choose "<i>click here</i>" or "<i>go here</i>" etc. But if you will see any probloggers blog you will find that they use the title of the target post as the anchor text. It helps the search engines to better understand about the page linked.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Using title and alt attribute:</b> I have seen many bloggers using Title and alt attribute for their Images but many of them forget to use them on the links. These are not only beneficial for images but for links also. So, you must use them to optimize your links.</div> <div> <br /> <i>Do I left something...

Especially external JavaScript takes much time to load. You can Increase your load time by removing unnecessary JavaScripts from your blog. Instead of using external JavaScripts you can add the JavaScripts by going to<b> Dashboard > template > edit html . </b>Now search the following code and add your JavaScripts in between the following code :<br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <script type=’text/javascript’><br /> //<![CDATA[<br /> Add Your JavaScripts Here<br /> //]]><br /> </script></blockquote> <br /> <b>Use Small sized Images:</b> Instead of using high quality big sized images you can use small images allowing the visitors to see the high quality big sized image by clicking on the image. large high quality images take a lot of time loading thus making your page load slower. you can make the images smaller and use .png images instead of .jpg.<br /> <br /> <b>Use less advertisements:</b> As advertisements are served on a website through JavaScripts codes it makes the webpage loading speed slower. So, we can Increase the blog load speed by using less advertisements on Blogs. It not only makes the page to load faster but also makes it look clean as a webpage with many ads look a mess.<br /> <br /> <b>Use read more links on homepage : </b>Instead of displaying the whole post in the homepage you can add a read more link in your every post on your homepage. It helps to make your blog homepage faster. It also helps to reduce the bounce rate and increase the Page views. As to view a post the visitor has to visit two pages.<br /> <br /> <b>Use well coded Blogger templates: </b>While selecting blog templates many bloggers usually select the blog template on the basis of look, totally neglecting the coding. We must always use a well coded template by some professional web template designers.<br /> <br /> <b>Use a Background color instead of an Image:</b> A background image makes the blog page loading process much slower. you can use a color instead of a background to make it faster. You can search for the following code in the template code:<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> body { background: #ffffff <b><i>url(http://yourblog.com/blog-background.jpg);</i></b></blockquote> <div> <br /></div> <div> Just remove the URL part highlighted in bold.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <i><b>Note </b>: This code varies in different blogs. You can search for the code that is similar to this one and then remove the URL part.</i><br /> <i><br /></i></div> <b>Keep less number of posts at the homepage: </b>Keep the number of posts limited to 3-5 posts per page as  more posts per page will make the page load slower. Many visitors will not like to view blog which has slow loading homepage and will leave the blog from the homepage thus increasing your bounce rate.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Use less external links: </b>Remove all the unnecessary links from your blog as it not only makes the page slower but the crawlers also have difficulty crawling pages containing more external links. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Use less social elements on your blog: </b>While using social elements on a blog is good but up to a extent. Too much social plugins, widgets, buttons etc make the blog load slower.  So, use limited amount of social elements in your blog.<br /> <br /> <b>Use Comment Moderation: </b>A single post followed by more than 100 comments will take much time to load making the visitors angry and some may leave your blog before the post is loaded. So, after a few comment disable the comment for that post. Also you can use some comment widget and set the comments per page to 10 or some small number you prefer. <br /> <div> <br /></div> </div> </div>

Sitemaps are XML files that contain a list containing URLs for a blog or site along with some extra meta-data(when the page was updated, when the page was created, its update frequency etc.) for each URL in the list. </i><br /> <br /> <h2 style="text-align: left;"> Why to submit Sitemaps to search engines?</h2> <br /> Search engines crawlers discover pages from links within the sites or from other sites containing links of your blog. The crawlers are unable to discover the pages that has no links on your site or anywhere. Creating and submitting the sitemap makes your blog pages discoverable to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc.<br /> Sitemaps are helpful for the Sites/Blogs that are new, having dynamic content, rich AJAX and images.<br /> However adding sitemaps do not assure that your blog pages will definitely get indexed by search engines. But it is something better than nothing...<br /> <br /> <h2 style="text-align: left;"> How to Create a Sitemap?</h2> <br /> Sitemaps are XML files that follow a protocol. The Sitemap protocol consists of XML tags. You can create Sitemaps by a number of <a href="https://code.google.com/p/sitemap-generators/wiki/SitemapGenerators" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sitemap generators</a>. Some will cost you few bucks or else you can create your sitemap manually if you have a good knowledge about XML(<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">For a detailed tutorial on creating Sitemaps go here</a>). While creating your sitemap make sure that your Sitemap follow some guidelines by google :<br /> <br /> <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Guidelines for Sitemaps</h3> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>A Sitemap file can contain no more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB when uncompressed. If your Sitemap is larger than this, break it into several smaller Sitemaps. These limits help ensure that your web server is not overloaded by serving large files to Google.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>If you have more than one Sitemap, you can list them in a <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/answer.py?answer=71453">Sitemap index file</a> and then submit the Sitemap index file to Google. You don't need to submit each Sitemap file individually.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>Specify all URLs using the same syntax. For instance, if you specify your site location as http://www.example.com/, your URL list should not contain URLs that begin with http://example.com/.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>Do not include session IDs in URLs.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>Your Sitemap file must specify the following XML namespace:xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9".</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>The Sitemap URL must be UTF8-encoded, and encoded for readability by the webserver on which it is located.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>If your site is accessible on both the www and non-www versions of your domain, you don’t need to submit a separate Sitemap for each version. However, we recommend picking either the www or the non-www version, and using recommended <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/answer.py?answer=139066">canonicalization methods</a> to tell Google which version you are using.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>If you’re considering hiring a consultant to help you optimize your Sitemaps, we recommend reading our recommendations on working with Search Engine Optimizers (SEOs). In addition, you should be familiar with our <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/answer.py?answer=35769">Webmaster Guidelines</a> and our <a href="https://google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf">SEO Starter Guide</a>. It can also be useful to check with colleagues with similar sites or businesses.</li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li>A Sitemap file is independent of the language of the content. To make sure that each language version can be crawled and indexed, use unique URLs. These URLs can all be included in your Sitemap files.</li> </ul> </blockquote> <br />Here is a Sample sitemap by <a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sitemaps.org</a> :<br /> <br /> <pre style="background-color: #e9eaeb; color: #3a4956; font-family: Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 1em; overflow: auto; padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px; width: auto;"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#urlsetdef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">urlset</a> xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">    <<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#urldef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">url</a>>       <<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#locdef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">loc</a>>http://www.example.com/</loc>       <em><<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#lastmoddef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">lastmod</a>>2005-01-01</lastmod>       <<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#changefreqdef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">changefreq</a>>monthly</changefreq>       <<a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#prioritydef" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #990000; text-decoration: none;">priority</a>>0.8</priority></em>    </url> </urlset> </pre> <br /> <b>Note:</b> You can also see their example with multiple urls <a href="http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#sitemapXMLExample" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /> <br /> When you have created your XML Sitemap you just have to upload it in the root directory of your site (example : http://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml).<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <b><span style="font-size: large;">One problem with Blogger Blogs(***.blogspot.com)</span></b> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Blogger Blog do not allow bloggers to add anything in the root directory.
