Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

A step by step guide on how to optimize high traffic-low density keywords

April 27, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 28 Comments

I've always believed that there are only two things that you need to do to become a successful blogger. I call them having good “Fundamentals” and good “technicals” (Just like investing in the stock market hehehehe…) What I refer to as good Fundamentals is the writing of good content, having a good and search engine friendly blog template and having a good layout of your blog. Having good “technicals” means doing stuff that will drive traffic to your blog. One of the ways that will drive traffic your blog is to increase your ranking in google for HITLOD keywords (High traffic or high trend - low density keywords) Who is DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell and why you should get to know them Exploiting the Pinay Scandal keyword How Mr. Bean can help bring traffic to your blog or website Googel = Googol = ? In order to achieve this, follow these steps: 1.) Check if the keyword is a high traffic or high trend keyword– Go to Google trends and type a keyword. If it shows up in … [Read more...]

Who is DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell and why you should get to know them

April 21, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 2 Comments

You’ve probably heard about Ceasar Montano (Famous Philippine actor & film director) and several other famous Montanos who are politicians, actors, singers, directors and T.V personalities both here and abroad. But who the heck is DJ Montano ? “DJ” is short for Delfin Justiniano. That’s his real name. I won’t tell you who he is, I’ll leave the research up to you. And who is Brian Gorrell ? Again the research will be left to you so I won’t spoil the fun. But I’ll tell you why you should get to know these people. “Brian Gorrel” and “DJ Montano” are both HITLOD keywords ! (To know what is HITLOD, check out the post entitled “Do high trend low density “misspelled” keywords bring you lots of traffic?”) Look at the graphs for both “Brian Gorrell” (Whether spelled with a single or double “L”, both shows up in Google trends) and “DJ Montano” in Google trends. This shows us that these two key words are indeed high traffic keywords. “Brian Gorrell” has only been … [Read more...]

Do high trend low density “misspelled” keywords bring you lots of traffic ?

April 7, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 3 Comments

Veteran bloggers who have mastered the art of Search engine optimization (SEO) will tell you that one way of driving traffic into your blog is by optimizing “high-trend, low density keywords.” or what I call as HTLD or HITLOD. The definition of “high trend-low density” keywords has been discussed extensively in my previous posts such as - “googol – googel” “Mr Bean” and “Pinay scandal” In my own humble opinion, not all HTLD keywords can bring traffic to your site. There are certain keywords that may be classified as HTLD but they may not bring you traffic. An example of this is misspelled keywords. Some bloggers have been optimizing misspelled keywords and I don't know if this has been bringing them traffic and if it does bring traffic, does it bring them lots of it. The proper question that should be also asked is, is it worth it ? Examples of HTLD mispelled keywords are misspellings of the words friendster (Freindster) youtube (yotube), Viideo (vedio), quotes (qoutes) … [Read more...]

1st quarter 2008 – Blog performance review

April 1, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 1 Comment

Happy 4th month anniversary to this blog ! It has been my tradition to point out to you the top ten posts of my blog for the month. However since this month is the end of the first quarter of 2008, I will be giving you the top 10 posts that has been the favorite of the visitors of this blog: 1.) PS – The title itself seems quite controversial. No wonder this is the most read post. I am also constantly optimizing this high trend, low density keyword as part of honing my SEO skills and experimenting with SEO strategies and techniques. From placing nowhere in google since the entry of my first post in January 19, 2008, I have ranked no. 55 on March 26, 2008. As of today I am ranked no. 16. This keyword has given me the most traffic from the search engines. 2.) How to add a “home” button that redirects to your post page in Word Press – No doubt that this theme (bloggerpro) is loved by many Wordpress users. Unfortunately the author seemed to forget to place a “home” button. This posts … [Read more...]

My Blog is being overhauled !!!!

March 26, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 4 Comments

If you notice my blog is stripped bare and does not use to look as it did before. I am currently doing an “overhaul”of my blog. I apologize to all of my readers, advertisers, fans, entrecard droppers etc. for this inconvenience. Hopefully this "overhauling" will be completed this week. The reason for this overhauling is because Rob Schultz an SEO expert of truebluetitan.com, pointed out to me that my blog contains a lot of errors in the eyes of search engine bots. This might affect my search engine rankings including a rich user experience. I will write in detail about this later on in one of my posts. Some of the graphics, youtube videos and other stuff that I use to run in the front page are still deactivated. So do not be surprise if you click on posts that are empty. All of the archived posts are however working.  However you might be interested to have your blog or website validated. Check out the Validator. Whew ! Validation is a painstaking work. I wish there was … [Read more...]
