In the past few weeks, I’ve realized the huge effect of the META description tag in making your pages rank high on Google search.

When I started making my META descriptions more informatve and relative to my article, my site started to show up on Google’s first page for the main keywords that are related to my articles.

However, when I noticed that, I started copying the same exact META description to all of my articles that has the same topic, which pulled my page views to a quarter of what I was getting when I had tat perfect, unique META description on only one page.

Also, I didn’t have a “related articles” portion before when I was just getting like 50-150 views per day. Then I thought of adding that to my page just because I thought it would be cool if my visitors will see a list of other articles on my site that they might also like right after reading the article they are on. So I went ahead and installed that. Then days after doing that and the META description thing, my site started getting page views of 200, then 400+ then 500+ until it reached 900+ in a matter of days until after I copied the same META description to all other related pages.

So with this experience, I have realized how important it is to link your pages together and put a very nice, unique, META description for each of your pages.

Hope you learned something! Thanks!

Wahahahahaha!!! I can’t believe it!! It’s real!! I’m on page one of Google!! Harharharhar!!

I didn’t expect this but I noticed a steady increase in my daily pageviews and my bouncerate is decreasing dramatically, which means more and more visitors on my blog are coming back. I just got curious and I wanted to know why all of a sudden, every single day, my page views were at its peak. So I went ahead and picked one of my best keywords according to my blog stats “philippine tv ratings” (it said the top keyword only brought me 4 page views though) and typed it on Google and to my surprise, I was on Page 1!! I tried another version of the keyword, “tv ratings philippines,” and guess what, I was still on Page 1!

Things are looking better for my site and I am seeing the fruits of my SEO work (though I didn’t really do that much! hahahaha!).
