    HeadSpace Dominates All In One SEO Pack – Here’s Proof

    Antonio Coleman always advise new visitors to his site to start here first if they need help learning more about my blog. Plus if you need SEO services to out rank the competition, then it’s best to stop by and learn how SEO is able to grow your site.

    First I will like to thank Paul for give me the opportunity to entertain her readers for a few minutes with a post that I think will change the way you write titles on your blog.

    SEO Plugin Wars

    For years now people have been going crazy over what big brother Google needs when it comes to seo. Now I’m not going to get all into link building and stuff like that, because this post is only about how HeadSpace dominates All In One SEO Pack.

    But saying that, I will say SEO is changing faster then the leaves on the tress are changing from season to season. People are paying big money to use these so called special software’s that will make your keyword search and link building campaign an easy task.

    I’m here to show that you can really get great results by using these so called free stuff that’s available online. These things are the good old plugins we use each and every day to make off blogs competitive with others sites.

    Look this is not another of those top 10 post on which plugins will bring you the most traffic or something. I will describe how installing one free plugin and using it in the correct way can bring you some great free traffic from Google and friends. Let’s Go…

    HeadSpace Or All In One SEO Pack

    For those of you who are new to blogging, then I will suggest you to start here first if you want to get a better understanding of the top topics of blogging. But for those of you who do, then I want to break down these top two SEO plugins for making the best SEO titles.

    Now most people who have a blogging platform mostly talk about the All In One SEO Pack Plugin. The reason for this is because it’s promoted more then any other SEO plugin out there.

    If I had to put a number on it then I will say about 65% of the blogs online use it. This plugin will help you setup what we call a SEO titles which you can implement your keyword into.

    You might ask yourself what’s the big deal in having my keyword in the title. For one it shows Google and friends what that post is about and helps with your over all SEO ranking. Like I said earlier that backlinks play a part in ranking so we don’t have to cover that at this time.

    I won’t be getting into the functions of both of these plugins because I can be here all day. So in a nut shell I will say they both work in the same but with just a few differences here and there. The main job of these plugins are to help you create great SEO titles that will be attractive to the search engine to help you gain great ranking position.

    Which One Do I Use?

    To be honest with you it’s not that much of a difference in theses plugins, but I use HeadSpace for a couple of reason. For one it’s easy to use and I never had a problem with it over the years.

    All In One SEO Pack is really easy to use also and have some awesome function that makes life just that much easier. Unfortunately I don’t use this plug because it has an upgrade section where you can unlock more functions. With something like that it just turned me off, so basically I’m sticking with HeadSpace and the results have been crazy good and here’s why.

    First I will like to say that HeadSpace has been downloaded 432,928 times and All In One SEO Pack has been downloaded over 7,979,582 times. So you can just make your choice off those mind boggling stats.

    HeadSpace Mega Search Traffic

    Back on Apr 12, 2011 I decided to post about the new IPhone 5G which was a guest post from one of my best friends which he’s a tech guy. He wanted my readers to get a birds eye view on this new gadget people where going crazy over.

    I used HeadSpace to edit my title to get it in the best SEO spot as I could. I submitted the post just as he gave it to me which has a title of “iPhone 5G Ground Breaking Technology Is Coming Soon”

    Next what I did was post the content and big brother Google did the rest of the work. For about two days the post was not ranked, but on the third day this post went straight to the top of the search engine for the given keyword “Iphone 5G”

    The power of HeadSpace gave me the opportunity to pick a title that included the keyword we wanted to target and plus we used the keyword in the tags which was another big help and something that HeadSpace provides as a option.

    What About Traffic?

    One of the things about doing SEO is that you must be able to get some traffic at some point. The reason why All In One SEO Pack and HeadSpace are so popular, is because they allow you to control the out look of creating SEO titles for higher ranking.

    So over the last three months this post has been able to get almost 2000k worth of traffic from the search engines just by us installing HeadSpace which gave us a chance to write SEO targeted titles.

    To make this as crazy as it sounds, we did little to no SEO on the page to get it ranked. So we think most of the SEO boost was from the HeadSpace plugin which is free to use and can help make your blog post rank just a little higher.

    I’m not saying that All In One SEO Pack is not capable of given you the same, or better, results. We’re just trying to say that whatever SEO plugin you use, make sure you do real research and find those keywords that brings you traffic so these plugins can work the best for you.

    Today is the day you make the choice on making one of these your main platform of building a successful blog by posting blog post at a time.

  • The Hazards of Using Facebook

    The Hazards of Using Facebook

    Facebook is become the leader in the social network space, and with it there are also hazards of using Facebook that everyone should be aware of. Over the past few years, Facebook has been in the news for both good and bad reasons. The bad reasons, however, seem to be the ones that linger for months after they have occurred, with security usually at the forefront of the conversations.

    Facebook has over 500 million members, and I have heard it can be as high as 750 million. With those 500+ million members it also has the responsibility of managing a massive amount of personal information, videos, photos, etc. from those members. This is a huge undertaking to say the least, but with such responsibility there is also the adverse affect of causing many issues.

    While there is a lot of software on the market to perform specific tasks, there are 10 free Windows applications that you should install on your PC. Some of the applications can easily replace more expensive, commercial products, and perform the same tasks. Others are a better alternative to an already free product, meaning that the application has more options.

    With the increase in amount of free applications (think open-source) that are available online, you should be able to find a free alternative to a product that you are thinking about purchasing.

  • Is Microsoft Becoming a Less Relevant Brand?

    Is Microsoft Becoming a Less Relevant Brand?

    In the late 90s the biggest talk in the world of technology was always about Microsoft, and the products that they were releasing. Windows was the dominate force in operating systems, and Microsoft Office had a stranglehold on the office suite of products. Internet Explorer began challenging, and eventually surpassing, Netscape’s offering in the Web browser arena.

    That was 15 years ago, and today things are much different. So different in that Microsoft seems to be an after thought when it comes to technology news. Apple and Google are now the companies that generate the most buzz in the headlines. They are releasing new products, and software on an almost weekly basis. With all the buzz surround these two companies, has Microsoft become a less relevant brand in the technology world?

  • How Important is Google’s PageRank?

    How Important is Google’s PageRank?

    One common question that I have read in forums and on websites is “how important is Google’s PageRank?”. More specifically how important is the little number associated with each page of a site in terms of traffic and ranking well in Google’s search engine.

    For those that have been developing sites for many years, they may see PageRank as an important factor in search engine optimization (SEO). Others shrug it off as a number that doesn’t carry as much meaning as it once did, and don’t bother with trying to increase their PR value. While I have kept an eye on my PR number, I dont’ stress over it one way or another, and it appears Google wants it that way.

  • Why I Am Impressed With HostGator’s Jaw-Dropping Service

    Why I Am Impressed With HostGator’s Jaw-Dropping Service

    After three years I decided to change hosts for Technically Easy. For the past three years I was on BlueHost, but recently I have found their service to be sub-par. I found that my site was down more than their 99.9% guarantee, and the performance seemed to be decreasing as well. Also, when I started to use CloudFlare I noticed I had trouble logging into my blog’s dashboard at times. The problems went away when I stopped using CloudFlare.

    I had heard good things about HostGator so I decided to try them out for myself and see if what people were saying was actually true. I was a little worried about moving my blog over, but after seeing their service first hand, I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

  • Traffic Stats: June 2011

    Traffic Stats: June 2011

    Last month traffic for Technically Easy started off where May ended. I received steady traffic throughout the month, and also had my one day best total ever for this blog. I once again learned that with blogging there are going to good days and bad days as I also had my worst traffic day in about a year a few days later.

    Blogging can be frustrating at times, mainly because when it comes to traffic there is very little that we can control. Sure we can look at generating backlinks, and use social networking to the best of our ability, but in reality, those methods just help enable traffic, it doesn’t guarantee that our blog will actually receive traffic. Let’s look at last month’s traffic numbers so you can see what I mean.
