One of my blogs was not displaying the latest posts in feeds. Feedburner and default feed for blog was not displaying my few latest posts. For example: http://www.blogname.com/feed/ and http://feeds2.feedburner.com/feedname/ were returning old posts. Fresh content was absent. On checking my feedburner account everything was fine. Further checking and validation gave me the following information:

Your feed appears to be encoded as “UTF-8″, but your server is reporting “US-ASCII”

So what is the solution for missing latest posts from feeds?

Launch of Google plus is a disaster for FaceBook. That is what I believe. If not now, it will be. Atleast 50% users from Facebook will leave and join Google Plus. All the spammers, SEOs, webmasters, networking gurus who were at Facebook for spreading their websites will move to the Google Plus. Because Google Plus is the social networking website from the Google Search Engine. Google makes rules for webmasters and developers. Google Plus will decide which website to promote and which to demote. They have a +1 button to promote content. This is what I claim that the content with more +1s will be getting more search results and web traffic. Google Plus and +1 button will affect site traffic and site ranking.

They say:

Add +1 to your pages to help your site stand out
+1 buttons let people who love your content recommend it on Google search

Lorem ipsum is a place holder text. Publishers and graphic designers need it every day in almost every task. Lorem ipsum is commonly used to demonstrate the visual presentation of fonts, typography or layout. An example of lorem ipsum paragraph is below:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Many websites exchange website traffic with you by giving you a piece of javascript code to place in your website and your website starts displaying catchy misleading images which lead visitors to other websites. At every image click you might see a pop up and if you keep visiting more and more these websites more pop up will appear and your browser may crash. The important thing is to note is this, these all target websites share same widgets which lead you to many other such websites. Many times the images displayed are tempting but those are modified and are specially prepared in photoshop to only catch user’s attention.

The important thing to note is, you can not do any activity like this where you exchange traffic to website only for more website traffic. This whole concept is wrong. Your website should not offer misleading links and images to other websites. These widgets shockingly provide you almost same traffic as Google does. Your website analytics will show you that. In such case be aware that your website will be penalized. This is also against web accessibility standards.

In many WordPress themes developers make mistake of linking single post to itself which is not necessary. I mean why anybody will reload the single post page when he is already at the same single post page by clicking the title of that same post? The title of single post is linked to the same page in many many WordPress themes. This is against the quality standards of webmasters.

Nofollow is an attribute used in HTML to tell the search engine to follow the links or not, to give credit to links or not. It stops crawler if you have used this attribute at a link and crawler won’t escape from that link and it won’t give page rank to that link you have nofollowed. its used like the following.

<a href="#" rel="nofollow">link</a>

If you have used external links in the site then it is wise to target blank to them and nofollow them. If you don’t use nofollow then it means that you are giving credit to the external site or link and you will increase the external link’s PR and decrease yours. What I am saying here is to nofollow some of your own pages. Yes, some pages in your blog, website do not need the Page Rank or credit or link juice or PR juice or whatever it is.
