What is a responsive theme?
A responsive theme (as the one used for this website), is an approach to web development that allows a website to break itself down smoothly across multiple monitor sizes, screen resolutions, and platforms, be it a computer, tablet or mobile device. It allows the developer to create a site that is optimized for each platform, both in navigation, readability and load time.


As you can see when resizing the window (if you are viewing this site on a computer), the layout of the page shifts depending on the size of the screen; with different layouts for content depending on viewing area. Themes (or layouts) such as this, allow for a single site and single look to the site, to be viewed on various devices without the need for additional themes or resizing by the user.

Short Description about Retina Display:
Ratina Display : The Retina display uses technology called IPS (in-plane switching) — the same technology used in the Apple LED Cinema Display and iPad — to achieve a wider viewing angle than on typical LCDs. Which means you can hold iPhone almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture. That’s perfect when you’re sharing photos with a friend or moving your iPhone around while playing a driving or flying game. In addition, the Retina display offers four times the contrast ratio of previous displays, so whites are brighter, blacks are darker, and everything is more beautiful.

Viewport resize is a browser-based tool to test any website’s responsiveness. Just save the bookmarklet, go to the page you want to test, click on your created bookmarklet and check all kinds of screen resolutions of the page.
The smartest way to share your defined environment of devices and breakpoints directly with your team and client. However, this bookmarklet should not replace a real device simulation. It rather helps you, your team and client testing statuses, transitions, text length etc. throughout different device types.

Make SEO friendly URL yourself

I don’t have to worry about SEO friendly URL in WordPress since its already built-in. However, I need it for my premium wordpress themes website, which is not based on WordPress. So I started to look into this matter.
Using htaccess and mod rewrite, you can make SEO friendly yourself in 3 easy steps.

1. Creating .htaccess file

Open NotePad (yes, the windows notepad) > File > Save As > Change the “Save as Type” to “All Files” > enter “.htaccess” as the name and press Save. You’ve created a htacces file.
Now paste this codes below into it.
The first line Options +FollowSymLinks is required for some server configurations.

2. Create your own rewrite rule

Example 1
For example, if you want to change links like http://mysite.com/index.php?topic=rules to http://mysite.com/topic/rules/, here’s the rewrite rule.
• Like regular expressions, the [a-zA-Z0-9] matches lower and uppercase of alphabets and numbers.
• The asterisk inside the brackets + is a quantifier that match 1 occurence to infinite occurences.
• Combining them, ([a-zA-Z0-9]+) matches alphanumerics of at least 1 character.
• The caret ^ means “start with”, meaning the URL starts with the word “topic”.
• The dollar sign $ means “end”, meaning the URL ends with a slash.
• The $1 is backreference, it carries the content of the first group of brackets.
In other words, when user enters http://mysite.com/topic/faqs/ , the page being called and run would be http://mysite.com/index.php?topic=faqs
Example 2
If you want to change URLs like http://mysite.com/index.php?product=productname&price=30 to http://mysite.com/products/productname/30/. Basically its similar to above.
• The [0-9] in matches numbers only.
• The plus sign is a quantifier that match 1 or more occurences.
• Combining them, ([0-9]+) means 1 or more numbers.
• Similarly, $1 will be the first brackets : product name and $2 would be the second brackets : price.
Example 3
If you want to change URLs like http://mysite.com/article.php?id=45 to http://mysite.com/article-45.html, here’s how:
• The new thing here is the \. (backslash followed by a dot).
• The backslash here “escapes” the dot, so that the dot means a real dot instead of “anything”.

3. Extra Stuff

Custom 404 error page

Put this in your htaccess if you would like to have a custom 404 error page instead of the default one.
Change the 404.php to your page.

Disable directory browsing

For security purpose, its best to disable directory browsing so that people won’t know what files you have. Use this :

Protect .htaccess files

This should disallow other to access your .htaccess file, just like disallowing others to access your wordpress’s wp-config.php

<files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</files>

Robots.txt is a text (not html) file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots.txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do. It is important to clarify that robots.txt is not a way from preventing search engines from crawling your site (i.e. it is not a firewall, or a kind of password protection) and the fact that you put a robots.txt file is something like putting a note “Please, do not enter” on an unlocked door – e.g. you cannot prevent thieves from coming in but the good guys will not open to door and enter. That is why we say that if you have really sen sitive data, it is too naïve to rely on robots.txt to protect it from being indexed and displayed in search results.

Robots.txt Notes

• The exact mixed-case directives may be required, so be sure to capitalize Allow: and Disallow: , and remember the hyphen in User-agent:
• An asterisk (*) after User-agent:: means all robots. If you include a section for a specific robot, it may not check in the general all robots section, so repeat the general directives.
• The user agent name can be a substring, such as "Googlebot" (or "googleb"), "Slurp", and so on. It should not matter how the name itself is capitalized.
• Disallow tells robots not to crawl anything which matches the following URL path
• Allow is a new directive: older robot crawlers will not recognize this.
  • Historical Note: the 1996 robots.txt draft RFC actually did include "Allow". But everyone seems to have ignored that until around 2005, and even then, it was not documented.
• URL paths are often case sensitive, so be consistent with the site capitalization
• The longest matching directive path (not including wildcard expansion) should be the one applied to any page URL
• In the original REP directory paths start at the root for that web server host, generally with a leading slash (/). This path is treated as a right-truncated substring match, an implied right wildcard.
• One or more wildcard (*) characters can now be in a URL path, but may not be recognized by older robot crawlers
• Wildcards do not lengthen a path -- if there's a wildcard directive path that's shorter, as written, than one without a wildcard, the one with the path spelled out will generally override the one with the wildcard.
• Sitemap is a new directive for the location of the Sitemap file
• A blank line indicates a new user agent section.
• A hash mark (#) indicates a comment

Example Robots.txt Format

Allow indexing of everything

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Disallow indexing of everything

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Disawllow indexing of a psecific folder

User-agent: *
Disallow: /folder/

Disallow Googlebot from indexing of a folder, except for allowing the indexing of one file in that folder

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /folder1/
Allow: /folder1/myfile.html

Analytics – Measurement of website statistics such as the number of visitors, where they arrived from, and how much time they spent on a website.

Anchor Tags/Anchor Text – Text used to create links to other pages. Text is displayed as a link instead of the URL for the link being displayed. An anchor tag can point users to another web page, a file on the web, or even an image or sound file. You are probably most familiar with the anchor tags used to create links to other web sites.

Backlinks – Links that are directed to your site from another Web site on the web.

Black-Hat SEO – Unethical SEO Strategies! Great example would be Keyword Stuffing!

URL – Stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which means it is a uniform (same throughout the world) way to locate a resource (file or document) on the Internet. The URL specifies the address of a file and every file on the Internet has a unique address.

URI – Stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, and it’s the official name for those things you see all the time on the Web that begin ‘http:’, ‘FTP’ or ‘mailto:’, etc. A URI is a standard global identifier for an Internet resource that may be local or remotely-accessible. URIs follow the same general syntax as URLs; in fact, URLs are one type of URI. Whereas URLs always refer to network addresses (including a protocol specification, host name or address, and local path), a URI does not necessarily refer to a remote resource. For example, the URI file:///c:/ specifies a local directory. Because file does not refer to any specific network protocol, this URI is not also a URL (an easy way of looking at this is to just think ‘URL’ whenever you see ‘URI’).

Weblog – A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website.

XHTML – eXtensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which web pages are written.

XML – Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. Maybe it is a little hard to understand, but XML does not DO anything. XML was created to structure, store, and transport information.

XML Sitemap – A file that lists all the URL’s for a web site. This file is usually not seen by site visitors, only by the crawlers that index your site.

In simple words, DMCA means "Digital millenium copyright notice" to claim the originality of the content and send request to Google about the original content copied and request to remove it.

URL is www.google.com/dmca.html

A simple, open, server-to-server web-hook-based pubsub (publish/subscribe) protocol as an extension to Atom and RSS.
Parties (servers) speaking the PubSubHubbub protocol can get near-instant notifications (via webhook callbacks) when a topic (feed URL) they're interested in is updated.
The protocol in a nutshell is as follows:

• An feed URL (a "topic") declares its Hub server(s) in its Atom or RSS XML file, via <link rel="hub" ...>. The hub(s) can be run by the publisher of the feed, or can be a community hub that anybody can use. (Atom and RssFeeds are supported)

• A subscriber (a server that's interested in a topic), initially fetches the Atom URL as normal. If the Atom file declares its hubs, the subscriber can then avoid lame, repeated polling of the URL and can instead register with the feed's hub(s) and subscribe to updates.

• The subscriber subscribes to the Topic URL from the Topic URL's declared Hub(s).

• When the Publisher next updates the Topic URL, the publisher software pings the Hub(s) saying that there's an update.

• The hub efficiently fetches the published feed and multicasts the new/changed content out to all registered subscribers.

The protocol is decentralized and free. No company is at the center of this controlling it. Anybody can run a hub, or anybody can ping (publish) or subscribe using open hubs.
To bootstrap this, we've provided an open source reference implementation of the hub (the hard part of the protocol) that runs on Google App Engine, and is open for anybody to use.

For some this is old news and for others it will be the first time you have heard about it.
If you haven’t heard, Google recently changed its search algorithm.
In very simple terms, Google has decided to ‘penalize’ the websites / blogs that copy other people’s content.
I recently found a top-performing site that was copying my content (and many other peoples content) and it was ranking very high in the search engines.
Google have put their foot down and said ‘no more’. They are no longer tolerating such activity.
The roll out of the new Google algorithm started back in late February and will continue to do so across the world over the next few weeks/months.
Google state they expect that 12% of websites / blogs will be impacted.
I’m not sure if they mean 12% will be impacted in a negative way or the 12% also includes those who gain from the new change.
You see…I’ve been looking at my visitor stats and I believe my site has been impacted in a POSITIVE way.
If the positive impact is not due to the algorithm change then it is a big coincidence!
Since the Google algorithm has been updated I’ve experienced an 18.74% increase in the number of visitors to my site. That 18.74% increase is in comparison to the number of visitors I had in the month before leading up to the algorithm change.
And when comparing the stats where visitors come to my site direct from a Google search the number has increased by 30.15%. That means 30% more people are now finding my site via the Google search engine.
Is that because all the ‘bad boy’ sites that copy content have fallen down the search engine rankings and mine has gone up?
I like to think so and for me, it is too much of a coincidence.
Why has WeBuildYourBlog benefited from the algorithm change?
I think this because of a number of reasons.

1. Unique Content

95% to 99% of the content on this blog is unique i.e. it is not published anywhere else. If any of the content has been published elsewhere through people copying my content… Google knows that the original post was published here first.
So reason (or rule) number one or perhaps we should say guide number one is only publish unique content on your blog.

2. Type of Content

I believe Google is putting more and more emphasis on the type of content you are publishing on your blog. And what I mean by content are things like text, images and videos.
If you are just going to use text-based content then I would always recommend you add at least one image to the post.
But even better…
Start adding your own videos as well. And I don’t mean videos from YouTube… I mean add videos hosted on your own host account.
You may have seen in my recent “speeding up your blog expert series”, all of the posts were video-based. I did that for two reasons. One because it was easier to share and show you what I have actually done to speed up the blog and two, I wanted to see if using video made any impact on my search rankings.
Some of my videos in that “Improve Your Blog Speed Series” are in position one for certain keyword phrases.
When adding video to your blog you also need to have a plug-in that creates a video site map as the Google XML site map can only read text-based publications.
_________________________________________________________________________
I recently invested in a video site map plugin. The video site map tells Google that you have videos on your blog and it will add the video type blog posts to the search engines.
Here is the link to the plugin: Video Site Map Plugin

So reason number 2 – mix up your content. Use text, images and videos.

3. Back links

Some will say the more back links you have the better.
Others will say only get back links from high quality sites.
No one really knows the true answer however my belief is that you should get a mixture of back links from a variety of sources.
I have over 65,000 back links to this blog coming from a huge variety of sources including article directories, forums, guest posts, RSS directories, comments and so on.
When creating back links it is important not to just back link to your main domain i.e. your homepage. You want to also back link to internal pages and individual blog posts.
You want to let Google know that your entire site is worth linking to, not just the homepage.
Check out my popular blog post, How to get backlinks.
So reason number 3 – build backlinks from a variety of sources. Check out the link above to see how you can drastically improve the number of backlinks you have.

4. Internal Linking

This sentence is directly from the Google site:
“The number of internal links pointing to a page is a signal to search engines about the relative importance of that page.”
Which means you should link from one blog post to another where and when relevant.
See my short video on how to do this using a free plugin:
Why Internal Linking
In summary and you’ve heard it time and time again and you can hear it again right now…
It all boils down to publishing unique original quality content that people want to read /view and providing your blog with as many internal links and back-links from a variety of sources.
If you think there’s a cheats way of getting more visitors more traffic to your blog by copying other people’s content then you are mistaken.
Have you experienced any changes in your stats as a result of the Google algorithm change?
