What is an Alt Tag? How to use it for SEO-Friendly Images

Hey Fellas! I am back to keep you updated with relevant information that resonates with your field of interest. Today, I'll discuss What is an Alt Tag? How to Use it for SEO-Friendly Images? This is the sixth article covering a complete SEO series. You can also have a look at my previous article about writing SEO optimized content. A picture is worth a thousand words. An old phrase - still enough to convey the real importance of a single image. Adding a relevant image is a prerequisite to flavor up the written content. An alt tag is also known as alt text, alt attribute or alt description, that is used to define the nature of the image. It plays a vital role to describe the image in words i.e. what image is about and how it is related to the written content. Alt tags are very useful to help Google crawlers find your image on the web. You'd be doing injustice if you are creating awesome images and fail to embed relevant alt text in them. Research shows, content that contains a number of images, comes with a higher chance of being clicked and reduce bounce rate. Some people come over to your webpage with the intention of scanning through the content. If both content and images are interlinked and help each other to convey the right idea, they absorb the visitors' attention and help them stay for a maximum period of time. SEO is mainly divided into two parts i.e. On Page SEO and Off Page SEO. The Alt Tag falls under On Page SEO which also includes other factors like meta description, internal linking, blog post title and written content etc. You can check complete guide of SEO tutorials where I have listed all articles relating to On Page and Off Page SEO. In today's tutorial, I'll uncover each and everything related to alt tags, how you can use them for making SEO friendly images, benefits and everything you need to know.

What is an Alt Tag?

An Alt Tag is a text used to describe the nature of an image in words. Other terms like alt description, alt text, and alt attribute are used in place of an alt tag. It doesn't appear on the page unless you right click on the image and go to inspect. This text actually appears in the HTML code. There is a difference between how humans perceive images and how search engines see them. Search engines are not quite intelligent to visually check the nature of the image. This is where alt text comes into play. If you right click the above image and go to inspect, the alt tag will appear as follows:

• You can see the alt text I have selected for this image. The title tag of the image appears at the end of the URL which is part of the whole URL and when someone clicks on the image the title appears on the hyperlink where it shows the nature of the image to visitors.

Importance of Alt Tags

Alt tags are very important in terms of SEO There is no point of putting a hard work on creating a lot of images for your blog post if no one can see them.

• These tags are very handy for the people who are visually impaired and use screen readers to approach the relevant content on the internet.
• If you succeed in creating relevant alt tag for the post, you are making it easy for the search bots to find your data on the web.
• It is observed, when you create content and hit publish, your images get ranked quickly before your written content find a top spot on the search results.

What is the Title Tag?

The title tag doesn't help crawlers to find the image, instead, it is added for the visitors what the image is about. The alt tag is to search bots what is title tag to visitors. John Mueller, Google 2017, makes it pretty clear the purpose of alt text and title tag. "Alt attribute should be used to describe the image. So if you have an image of a big blue pineapple chair you should use the alt tag that best describes it, which is alt=”big blue pineapple chair.” title attribute should be used when the image is a hyperlink to a specific page. The title attribute should contain information about what will happen when you click on the image. For example, if the image will get larger, it should read something like, title=”View a larger version of the big blue pineapple chair image.” The figure above shows the location of URL, title and Alt text in the Wordpress panel which appears once you click on the "Add Media" button on the top left corner when you are creating the blog post.

• You can choose any title after you upload the image from your system. However, it is preferred to name the title of the image before uploading in the WordPress as it will automatically pick up the title of the image, helping you get rid of changing the title again on the add media title section.

Steps to Write Alt Tags for SEO Friendly Images

Now, you have got a clear idea about alt text and how it is different from title tag. Following are some major points you must be considering before you intend to write an alt tag for any image.

Make it Short and Relevant

Alt text must be short and precise and convey the main idea about the image quite impressively. Making it short will help crawlers read and index your image in no time.

• An ideal length of alt text is about 125 characters.

There is no need to fill up the word count anyway. Pick each word wisely and convey the main idea in fewer characters as possible.

Add Keyword

Optimizing your data for the web is all about picking right keywords. You must add the main keyword in the alt text, so written content matches the image and both help each other conveying a right idea to the visitors.

• Can we add more than one keyword?

Yes, you can add more than one keyword in the alt text. It is better to split the keywords into two categories.

• Primary keyword
• Secondary keyword

Add former at the start of the text and later at the end of the text. This will help you optimize your data for more than one keywords.

Avoid Keyword Stuffing

Keyword stuffing is a practice where you fill up the text number of times with the main keyword all the while ignoring if it makes sense in the text. Doing this is not good and falls under the category of black hat SEO, where people use manipulative techniques to get a top position on the search results.

Adding Same Alt Text for Different Images

Some people are concerned if they can add same alt text for two different images of the same blog post. Yes, you can add same text for two separate images as long as they are quite relevant or have even a remote connection with each other. As an added note: It is advised to add different alt tag for every image for appearing on the top of image search engine and having them ranked for different keywords.

• Can we add a title of the post in the alt text?

Yes, it is better to add a title of the post in the alt text. Because you have already optimized and made your post title around a certain keyword. This will save you a bunch of time, where you don't have to write the text from scratch around the main keyword.

Adding Business Name

If you are running a business, don't forget to add the business name (on a logo) in the alt text. This will indicate the image is strictly relevant to your brand. You can also add the quote or words that convey the right idea about your business.

Avoid Adding "a picture of" or "an image of"

No need to add words like "a picture of or an image of" in the alt text. You are not writing an alt text for the visitors, you are writing them for search engines and help them find your images on the web.

• Google crawlers are smart enough to interpret the image when they approach the HTML code of the post.

Not Every Image on your Site Requires Alt Tag

When you are running a blog or website to drive sales, it is difficult to add alt text for every image on the domain.

• It is okay to leave the alt text blank for some images that are added on your blog for decorative purpose only. Similarly, no need to add the alt text for social media icons on the webpage.

Wordpress Plugin to Automatic Alt Tags

Allocating alt text to every image is very time-consuming when you do it manually. You can use some tools to automate alt text. If you are running a WordPress blog, then you can use SEO Friendly Images - an SEO plugin developed by WordPress. This tool is very handy if you run short of time. It will automatically add the alt text of your images across the whole domain.

• Before you intend to use this tool, make sure you have already given a proper title to every image.
• Adding an image with the title like abcd.png will do no good and makes it difficult for the plugin to allocate relevant alt tag to the image.

Final Thought

Alt tags are explicitly for optimizing images for SEO, they have nothing to appear your written content on the top of search results. They are visual graphics that convey the right idea about the nature of the images.

• Don't forget to add alt text for every image. You can use the same alt text for different images in the same blog post.
• Keep it short and sweet where it conveys the main idea quite impressively.
• It is preferred to add a title of the post in the alt text.
• Add the main keyword in the alt text. You can number of keyword words. Make sure, primary keywords are added before secondary keywords.
• No need to stuff the text with the main keyword plenty of times.
• Avoid adding words like "a picture of or an image of" in the text.
• You must add a business name in your text.
• Leave alt tags for decorative images or social media icons.

Internal Linking: Best Practices to Improve SEO

Hello Friends! We always strive to keep you updated with relevant content that suits your requirements. Today, I'll discuss Internal linking Best Practices to Improve SEO. This is the seventh article of complete SEO series. You can check my previous article on Alt Tag which is necessary for making images optimized for SEO. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) plays a vital role to rank your content on the top of search results, ultimately helps in bringing more traffic to your blog. This acts like a boat that is essential to help you flow in the competitive world where thousands of article are posted on the daily basis. SEO, as the word suggests, is the list of tips and techniques required to optimize your content for search engines, so you come with a higher chance to unlock your skills to relevant visitors. It is true, content is the king but writing a content for yourself only, all the while ignoring SEO is enough to ruin all of your hard work. There are many factors required to develop an outstanding SEO strategy, where Internal Linking is one of them. Internal linking is defined as a link on the page that points to another page in the same domain. It is used to provide as much relevant data as possible pertaining to the post visitors are reading. This helps visitors see other pages containing similar data that resonates with their interest. In today's tutorial, I'll discuss each and everything related to Internal Linking and what are the best practices, things to avoid and benefits of internal linking. Let's dive in.

Internal Linking: Best Practices to Improve SEO

Internal links are different than inbound and external links. Before we move on, let's define each of them and how they are different from each other. Internal Link. It is a link on the page that connects to another page of the same domain. Inbound Link. also known as a backlink is a link from another website that links back to your domain. External Link. It is a link you post in the article that points to other domain. What external link is for your domain is a backlink for other domain. Every link comes with its own benefits and used in the domain for different reasons. We need to pay equal attention to every type of link, so your content is equally distributed over the web. If you are creating content from the ground up, then you need to work your butt off for having proper SEO strategy in place and way up the ladder. You can check complete guide of SEO tutorials where you can find a complete list post related to On Page and Off Page SEO.

Placement of Anchor Text

Anchor text is the text that comes with a clickable option and houses a link in it. The anchor text used linking to other posts must flow with the sentence supporting the anchor text. It is not compulsory to add the exact title of the post in the anchor text. Add text that conveys the clear idea about a post you are linking to. Avoid adding text that contains more than one sentence for anchor text. This will make your text awkward and difficult to digest. And the link you share must be relevant to the post. Adding a link that is entirely different from the main topic will bring no value. Anchor text that comes with keyword pertaining to the article you are linking to, brings more value as compared to putting random text in the post.

Written Content In Place

Before you intend to link your page to other web pages on the blog, make sure you have enough written content on your website. Even one article is enough at the start, however, keep your website updating with fresh content in order to make interlinking work effectively. Long articles can house a number of links as compared to shorter ones. When you write a long article, you have a better chance to put and spread links naturally across the whole article.

Link to Older Post

Old content gets ignored most of the time if it doesn't get a pathway to appear frequently in front of the visitors.

• You must do internal linking with older post quite often so they get a better chance to appear in the SERP.
• Keep modifying your older posts every now and then, and give them a new look. Add some paragraphs where due and make them adaptable to the recent development on the main topic.
• When you create a fresh content, link it back to the older post. Create a strategy where both older and new posts are interlinked with each other and bring more value to the visitors.
• Linking to older post will help increase the page ranking of the older post and establish the link between a well established older post with new one.

Link to Authority Pages

Not all blog posts are created equal. Some are better than others. You can analyze your pages that are getting a decent amount of traffic. Linking to more authority pages will help you rank the pages that come with low value. If you are running a business you prefer linking to your money making page. This is a good practice to boost your earning but avoid adding money making page to every other blog post; this will make your content artificial and convey the idea you prefer financial gains more than the visitors' interest.

Distribution of Links

The links you consider most important must be placed at the start or in the middle of the post when a visitor is reading your post with interest. The visitors are not likely to click the links at the end of the post because once they succeed for getting the value for which they come over to the post, they are less interested in links at the end of the article.

Benefits of InterLinking

There are many benefits for generating a proper interlinking across your domain. Let's discuss them one by one.

Ease the Google Crawling

Internal linking a best tool to develop the relationship between other pages of the same domain. It helps google crawl to older posts that are deeply rooted and mostly overlooked by the search bots. When bots crawl to other pages of the same domain, they give value and help them appear on the top of search results.

Reduce Bounce Rate

Bounce rate is defined as when visitors come over to a certain webpage and close it after spending some time. If your webpage is interlinked to other pages pertaining to the same data on the blog post, it will help reduce the bounce rate and increase the retention of the visitors. When someone comes over to a certain webpage, they are going to click the other interlinked pages that contain relevant information or have even a remote connection with the information visitors are looking for. Of course, you want visitors stay on your site for a maximum period of time without getting bored or deviating from the main subject.

Authority Redistribution

Google gives value to those pages that are frequently visited by the visitors. Interlinking doesn't increase the authority of overall website but it does help in the redistribution of the authority of certain webpage. When some page comes with high ranking and is interlinked to other pages of the same domain, it will transfer the link juice to that page and help it rank faster in the search engine results. No need to worry about the link juice transfer, as it will transfer to other pages of the same domain.

Points of Consideration

You must be vigilant while doing the internal linking to give it a natural look. Following points, you must avoid before internal linking to your post.

Avoid Adding No-Follow Link

Links are divided into two types i.e. no-follow and do-follow. The do-follow link is better than a no-follow link and brings more value to the page. Avoid adding a no-follow link as it won't help in page ranking and doesn't pass any link juice from the source page. No-follow links are mostly used for comment posting and forum posting but not preferred for interlinking.

Avoid Stuffing the Post with a number of Internal Links

Stuffing the article with a number of links is not a good practice. You can add 3 to 5 internal links to other posts and they must be put with some gap among them. Adding all links in the same sentence or same paragraph can affect the reading process for a visitor. And the total number of links including do-follow or no-follow links must not exceed from 150, otherwise, your post will be enough to scare the hell out of the visitors.

Don't Repeat Same Link

Once you put a link in the article, avoid repeating it again in the same post. If you do, it indicates you are more interested to boost the same page instead of fulfilling the demands of the visitors. Keep that in mind, once you plan to write a content, you need to satisfy both i.e. search engines as well as the visitors. Interlinking is for the visitors to provide them better user experience so they feel no difficulty finding the relevant content on your domain.

Avoid Anchor Text "Click Here"

When you write an anchor text for the link to be placed, make sure, it indicates and highlights the main subject of the linking post. Writing "Click Here" is not enough for conveying the clear idea about the post. This brings no value and visitors won't be sure if they are going to click the linking page.

Avoid Adding Home Page Quite Often

You can put the homepage link on multiple blog posts, but, don't add it in every post you produce. Whenever you create a new post, focus more on addressing the main problems of the visitors instead of doing marketing for your product every time. The majority of internal links must connect to the deep-rooted web pages that are hidden from the eyes of potential visitors.

Final Thought

• Interlinking is very useful to help visitors spend more time on your blog. If it is done a right way, it brings more value to your blog and helps in ranking the pages that remain ignored for plenty of time.
• Connect old posts with the new ones and build a chain between them so they help each other for appearing on the top of search results.
• If you are running a business then it is a good practice linking to your money making page, make sure, you won't be mentioning your homepage or landing page link in every post you create.
• Anchor text plays a vital role in internal linking. The text must be clear and resonate with the linking article.
• Don't repeat the same link more than once in the same post. And all links must be spread over the post quite naturally. Don't try to fit the link anyway just for the sake of interlinking.

This is where stunning blog title comes into play. You come up with a high CTR (click through rate) if your blog titles are catchy and fulfill the demands of the visitors. Blog title falls under the category of On-Page SEO which is equally important and comes before Off-Page SEO. Blogging is all about creating, developing and adapting the recent SEO techniques that help you stand out in the competitive online world. You can check a complete guide of SEO tutorials where I have combined all articles pertaining to On Page and Off Page SEO. In today's tutorial, I'll discuss how you can write SEO friendly blog post titles that stand out and help you get decent traffic on your blog. Let's get started.

How to Write SEO Friendly Blog Post Titles

Blog post title is a thing self-explanatory. It is a title you choose for your blog post. Writing an accurate blog post title is more like a science. If you browse the internet for a specific query, you will find plenty of blog posts written on the same topic but you prefer clicking only a few of them. What motivates you to only click a specific link? It is true when you search for something, you click a number of links at once, appearing on the first page of Google. However, it not guaranteed, that all pages get a same amount of traffic. Only a few of them survive that follow all the prerequisites required to produce a superb title. Don't you worry. I have got you covered. I'll show you, how you can write SEO friendly blog posts that help you get a reasonable traffic.

Steps Required to Produce Stunning Blog Post Title

Writing a great post title is very essential to make your CTR grow skyrocket. According to Copyblogger, 80% of your visitors will read your headline, but only 20% will continue to finish the article. Following are the main steps for generating SEO friendly and outstanding blog post title.

Keyword Research

Start your journey with keyword research. There are many tools available for doing keyword research, however, following are used quite often.

• Google Keyword Planner
• Ahrefs
• SEMRush

If you are new to blogging then you can start with a free tool like keyword planner. However, it totally depends on your budget. If you can manage to get paid membership right from the start of your blogging career, then you come with a higher chance of succuss because paid tools provide more features to organize your keyword strategy than the free ones. Your blog title must contain the main keyword. It is okay to put the main keyword anywhere in the blog title, however, it is preferred to put it in the start of it.

Length of the Title

Length of the blog title is very important. Keep it under 55 characters, otherwise, it automatically gets trimmed off once it appears in the SERP. Focusing on a long-tail keyword requires more characters for creating a blog title that truly matches and stands fit with the keyword. This is where you need to show your expertise to keep the title within the recommended characters. This is tricky and requires some time before you will be spot on creating a clinical blog title. Rest assured, you will grow as you proceed.

Avoid Keyword Stuffing

Google algorithm was not very advanced and optimized a while ago where you would crowd the blog post with keyword stuffing and got ranked quickly. Now, it is considered as a manipulative criteria to get top position in the search engines and is highly deplorable and not admissible at any cost.

Must be Relevant

Blog post title must be relevant to the main topic. Your blogging success would be on shaky grounds if you write a title with a lot of exaggeration and fail to provide the content what you have promised in the title. This helps you get a number of clicks but it would affect your bounce rate. Once the visitors click on your post and finds it totally irrelevant, they quickly close the page and switch to the next.

Make it Easy

Your blog title must be easy to read and easy to digest. Avoid adding difficult words that make readers do a dictionary search for the specific word in the title.

• Beginners
• From Scratch
• Introduction to

These words will attract the visitors who are getting their hands on something very first time.

Add Words that Trigger Emotions

First impression is the last impression. Some don't agree with this phrase but it works when it comes to writing a blog post title. When your title appears on the SERP, it has only a few seconds to grab the attention of the visitors. Give your title a spoon of spice that triggers emotions. Make sure the words you add, truly resonate with the idea you want to deliver.

• Delighted
• Sky Rocket
• Viral

These words are enough to convey the message that your blog post contains something enticing.

Start with Number

Adding a number before the start of the title makes your blog title specific and helps people resolve the certain query more than one way.

• Your blog post can stand out by following these steps
• 10 Steps required to make your blog post go viral

The second title comes with more number of clicks because adding a number makes it more specific where it conveys the main idea quite nicely.

Words that Intrigue Curiosity

A human mind is very obstinate in nature. It is inclined to things that are prohibited and house some uncertainty in them. You can add some words that drive curiosity and allow people to know the truth anyway.

• Secret
• Steal
• Privacy
• How
• Why

These words are enough to drive curiosity in the readers. If your title is better than others, you come with a higher chance of getting clicked by a number of visitors. Once the audience clicks the title, this is where your writing skills come handy that can retain the visitors to the end of the post.

Final Step

You have done your keyword search and chose the words to add in the title, now comes a final step to write a blog post. It is preferred to practice blog post title number of times before you pick the final one. Make sure, your title looks natural and sits best with the main keyword. All words in the title must support each other. Before you finalize the article title, you can have a word with webmasters who are expert in blogging and already created blog posts that went viral. You are writing a title for your audience. Keep the requirements and demands of the visitors in mind and see how your blog title helps in delivering the specific solution visitors are looking for. The nature of the articles is different for writing a content for business than writing a content for some blog. If you are writing for some business, then you must focus on adding the words that bring value to the customers.

• Advantages
• Benefits
• Discount
• Offers

These words will help visitors identify that you are providing something extremely valuable that put you ahead from others in the relevant field. That's all for today.

What is Meta Description? Steps to Write Killer Meta Description for SEO

Hey Friends! Hope you are doing well. Today, I will discuss What is Meta Description? Steps to Write Killer Meta Description for SEO This is the third article of complete SEO series. You can check my previous article where I have discussed how to write SEO friendly blog post titles. The meta description is a paragraph of text that describes the summary of the web page and appears as a snippet under the title of the page. This is the only chance you get to make the first impression about your content, so make it count. Your description must be relevant and compelling that convince the visitors to click on your webpage. The visitors who are searching for relevant information don't have enough time to click on every page come their way. They just scan through the meta description and if it seems compelling and conveys the right idea, they definitely give a quick read to your content. A number of clicks you get for your page highly depend on the meta description i.e. how it is written and relevant to the solution of the problem visitors are searching for. You can also have a look at an ultimate guide to complete SEO tutorials where I have combined all articles covering complete SEO tips and techniques required for On Page and Off Page SEO. In today's tutorial, I'll discuss each and everything related to meta description that helps you get more clicks. Let's jump right in.

What is Meta Description?

Meta description is the text written in a paragraph that describes the nature and idea of the webpage. It is also known as a snippet of the text that allows search engines to rank your data for a particular query. Meta description gives visitors a clue why they should click on your webpage and how your webpage aligns with the demands of the visitors. If your content is shared across the web or any social media platform then some part of meta description also appears on the shared webpage link. Some platforms show a full snippet of the shared file while some trim off full meta description and includes some part of it. If you are using social media platform quite often, then you must use our Social Share Counter by TEP which helps you check the total number of social shares and create more content based on the topic widely shared across the social media platforms. Some people write content amazingly well but fail to write a convincing meta description that converts. This results in less number of visitors to your webpage. Thousands of web pages are written daily. Some are better than others. Only a few of them stand out from others who follow proper protocols to remain in the race of getting more visitors. If you were writing your content about 15 years ago when there were only a few web pages created every day and SEO was merely introduced, you'd have a greater chance to appear on the top of search results. But things are changing and evolving every day. Nowadays, search engines come with advanced algorithms and strive to give most relevant information to the visitors. Main SEO strategy is now divided into two types.

• On Page SEO
• Off Page SEO

Both have equal importance to keep you stay on the top of search results. Writing a compelling and convincing meta description falls under On Page SEO which is the first thing to make your SEO strategy work nicely as per your requirements.

Code for Meta Description

Meta description appears on the HTML code in the following form. <head> <meta name="description" content="What is meta description and how it affects overall SEO."> </head>

What are Meta Tags?

Meta tags, also known as data tags, are enclosed between the opening and closing head tags of the HTML code. These tags do not appear on the webpage but are hidden in the code. Anyone can look at these tags by right-clicking the certain webpage and then look for "view page source". Meta tags don't affect the appearance of the page and convey the idea

• How the page is created
• What keywords are included
• How often the page is updated and the
• Content summary of the webpage

Google and Meta Description

Length of meta description does matter. At the end of 2017, Google optimized their strategy for writing a meta description. They recommend keeping the length of a meta description under 300 characters. The length may vary somewhere between 50 to 300 characters. However, whatever the length of meta description is, it should be precise and long enough that it conveys the main idea of the article quite impressively. Google made it clear not to worry about the meta descriptions that have been written until now because a length of the description only allows the Google to create the snippet based on the nature of search queries. Now, you have a plenty of characters to convey the main idea of the webpage in a descriptive way, but it doesn't mean you have to fill up space anyway. Keep the main part of the page summary with focus keyword at the start of the description otherwise it gets cut off once it appears on the SERPs. However, if your page is searched plenty of times and aligns with the specific query, Google will show a full snippet of your page. We can examine the meta description of two web pages. I have searched the query "what is artificial intelligence" and Google showed me following with top two results in SERP.

• If we closely look at the meta description of the first search, we can see it is short as compared to the second one and Google still puts it on the top. It is important to note that the query I have searched doesn't totally match with the title of the search appearing at the top but Google still prefers it.
• While meta description in the second search in long and exactly matches with my search query i.e What is Artificial Intelligence" but Google still assigns it the second spot in SERP. This is how you can analyze and modify the meta description and write one that stands out.

Keys Points to Write Killer Meta Description

Following are some key points you must consider before writing a meta description.

• Relevancy
• Unique Meta Description for Every Post
• Yoast Tool to Check Word Count
• Compare your Meta Description
• Include CTA in the Description

Relevancy

Poorly written meta description can scare the hell out of the visitors and badly affect the overall page ranking. When you write a description, make sure it contains the main keyword and is super relevant to the topic you are discussing. Make it lucrative and little bit exaggerating (without deviating from the main topic) that makes visitor click on your webpage. People may forget what you offer, but they don't forget how you make them feel. Add words in your description that touches the emotion of visitors and make them feel how your content is best suitable and quite in line with their needs and demands. You would be doing injustice to the hard work you put writing the content if you fail to produce a compelling summary of your post. Give the same importance to writing a description as you give writing the first paragraph of your article. For every meta description you are writing, focus on the type and nature of visitors you are targeting. Don't get into the illusion if it works for you, it would equally work for your visitors. You are creating content for your visitors more than for yourself. Keep the problems of the visitors in your mind and mention how your content can be a good fit for solving their problems. This will boost your SEO and you turn out to be a brand in your respective niche.

Unique Meta Description for Every Post

It is important to note that every blog post you create must come with a unique meta description. Don't imitate the description you have written for other posts. If you do, you'll be making difficult for the search engines to rank your page for the specific query. It's true some pages are related to each other and convey the same idea in one way or the other, but you must separate each page in terms of main keywords and the meta description.

Yoast Tool to Check Word Count

Yoast SEO tool is quite handy to check the length of the meta description. As you start writing the meta description in Yoast plugin, the line appearing under meta description remains green unless you cross the words recommended by the plugin. Stop writing the words before the red line turns yellow. It is important to note that Yoast recommends less number of characters in the descriptions as compared to the characters recommended by Google's recently introduced strategy about meta description. Yoast prefers to keep the length within 160 characters, while Google allows keeping the length as long as 300 characters.

Compare your Meta Description

Best way to stand out from the crowd is by analyzing and comparing your meta description with the competitor in your field. This will help you curate and optimize the description that works best for you. Comparing your content with others gives you a benefit of analyzing content and helps you come with more impressive ideas that make your description unique and explicitly relevant to the main topic.

Include CTA in the Description

The text in the description plays the same role as a graphical ad for your marketing campaign. We can call it an ad-text where you can convince the visitors to click on your webpage. If you running a business, it is advised to add a call to action or some offers at the end of the description. This will make your content enticing and provoke the visitors to click on your webpage. Still, don't forget to keep your meta description sweet, short and relevant to the certain query.

Meta Description Exceptions

Google always strives to keep their visitors' demands on the top and provide the most relevant information. It comes with an advanced algorithm where sometimes it replaces the description given by the webmaster because it thinks the written summary doesn't resonate with the search query. It is a good practice to write a meta description for your webpage every time. This makes it easy for the search engines to target your page for the specific query. This works for most of the pages involving short-term keywords where you can easily predict and add the relevant meta description for your page. However, things don't work in the same manner when you intend to target long tail keywords. Writing a meta description for long tail keywords is tricky where you need to cover every aspect of the query pertaining to relevant searches done by the visitors. It is okay to leave the meta description for long tail keyword and allow the Google to pull out the suitable description for your page where it shows the main keywords supported by the surrounding data of the webpage.

Final Thought

The meta description is the first thing appears on the SERP before visitors makes a final decision to click on your link. Compelling and enticing meta descriptions come with more click-through rate which ultimately helps boost your business reputation. Following things, you must consider while you are writing a meta description.

• Must be relevant
• Contains the main keyword
• Triggers emotions and solves problems
• Compare your description with others but don't copy them
• Not more than 300 characters
• Must not identical for two blog posts
• You can write description anywhere between 50 to 300 as long you succeed in conveying the main idea
• Contains CTA or Offers
• Okay to skip meta description for long tail keywords

That's all for today. I hope you got a clear idea of how you can write an amazing description that converts. In the next article, we cover how to structure blog post URL. You are most welcome to approach me in the comment section if you are unsure or have any question.

• Arduino software called Arduino IDE is used to program the board which is a common software used for all boards belonged to Arduino family.
• Availability of Atmega16 on the board makes it different than Arduino Pro Mini which uses USB to serial converter to program the board.
• There is a reset button and 4 hardware serial port called USART which produces a maximum speed for setting up communication.
• The following figure shows the specifications of Arduino mega 2560.

• Arduino Mega is specially designed for the projects requiring complex circuitry and more memory space. Most of the electronic projects can be done pretty well by other boards available in the market which make Arduino Mega uncommon for regular projects. However, there are some projects that are solely done by Arduino Mega like making of 3D printers or controlling more than one motors, because of its ability to store more instructions in the code memory and a number of I/O digital and analog pins.
• There are three ways to power the board. You can either use a USB cable to power the board and transfer code to the board or you can power it up using Vin of the board or through Power jack or batter.
• Last two sources to power the board are required once you already built and compile code into the board through USB cable.
• This board comes with resettable polyfuse that prevents the USB port of your computer from overheating in the presence of high current flowing through the board. Most of the computers come with an ability to protect themselves from such devices, however, the addition of fuse provides an extra layer of protection.
• It can be used either way i.e. for creating stand-alone projects or in combination with other Arduino boards. Most complex projects can be created using this board.

Let's have a look at Arduino Mega 2560 Pinout:

Arduino Mega 2560 Pinout

• Following figure shows the pinout of Arduino Mega 2560:

• Each pin comes with a specific function associated with it. All analog pins can be used as digital I/O pins.
• Designing of a project using Arduino Mega gives you the flexibility of working with more memory space and processing power that allows you to work with a number of sensors at once. This board is physically larger than other Arduino boards.

Arduino Mega 2560 Pin Description

• 5V & 3.3V. This pin is used to provide output regulated voltage around 5V. This regulated power supply powers up the controller and other components on the board. It can be obtained from Vin of the board or USB cable or another regulated 5V voltage supply. While another voltage regulation is provided by 3.3V pin. Maximum power it can draw is 50mA.
• GND. There are 5 ground pins available on the board which makes it useful when more than one ground pins are required for the project.
• Reset. This pin is used to reset the board. Setting this pin to LOW will reset the board.
• Vin. It is the input voltage supplied to the board which ranges from 7V to 20V. The voltage provided by the power jack can be accessed through this pin. However, the output voltage through this pin to the board will be automatically set up to 5V.
• Serial Communication. RXD and TXD are the serial pins used to transmit and receive serial data i.e. Rx represents the transmission of data while Tx used to receive data. There are four combinations of these serial pins are used where Serail 0 contains RX(0) and TX(1), Serial 1 contains TX(18) and RX(19), Serial 2 contains TX(16) and RX(17), and Serial 3 contains TX(14) and RX(15).
• External Interrupts. Six pins are used for creating external interrupts i.e interrupt 0(0), interrupt 1(3), interrupt 2(21), interrupt 3(20), interrupt 4(19), interrupt 5(18). These pins produce interrupts by a number of ways i.e. providing LOW value, rising or falling edge or changing value to the interrupt pins.
• LED. This board comes with built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. HIGH value at this pin will turn the LED on and LOW value will turn it off. This gives you the change of nursing your programming skills in real time.
• AREF. AREF stands for Analog Reference Voltage which is a reference voltage for analog inputs.
• Analog Pins. There are 16 analog pins incorporated on the board labeled as A0 to A15. It is important to note that all these analog pins can be used as digital I/O pins. Each analog pin comes with 10-bit resolution. These pins can measure from ground to 5V. However, the upper value can be changed using AREF and analogReference() function.
• I2C. Two pins 20 and 21 support I2C communication where 20 represents SDA (Serial Data Line mainly used for holding the data) and 21 represents SCL(Serial Clock Line mainly used for providing data synchronization between the devices)
• SPI Communication. SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface used for the transmission of data between the controller and other peripherals components. Four pins i.e. 50 (MISO), 51 (MOSI), 52 (SCK), 53 (SS) are used for SPI communication.

Arduino Mega 2560 Dimensions

Follwoing figure shows the dimensions of the Arduino Mega 2560:

• Arduino Mega is comparatively larger than other boards available in the market. It comes 4-inch length and 2.1-inch width. However, USB port and power jack are slightly extended from the given dimensions.

Shield Compatibility with Arduino Mega 2560

• Arduino Mega is compatible with most of the shields designed for other Arduino boards.
• Before you intend to use a shield, make sure the operating voltage of the shield is compatible with the board voltage. Most of the shields operate at 3.3V or 5V which is compatible with this board, however, shields with higher operating voltage can damage the board.

• Also, the header distribution of the shield must resonate with the pin distribution of the board, so you can simply attach the shield with the board and make it in a running condition.

Arduino Mega 2560 Programming

• Arduino Mega 2560 can be programmed using Arduino Software called IDE which supports C programming.
• The code you make on the software is called sketch which is burned in the software and then transferred to the board through USB cable.
• This board comes with a built-in bootloader which rules out the usage of an external burner for burning the code into the board.
• The bootloader communicates using STK500 protocol.
• Once you compile and burn the program on the board, you can unplug the USB cable which eventually removes the power from the board. When you intend to incorporate the board into your project, you can power it up using power jack or Vin of the board.
• Multitasking is another feature where Arduino mega comes handy. However, Arduino IDE Software doesn't support multitasking feature but you can use other operating systems like FreeRTOS and RTX to write C program for this purpose. This gives you the flexibility of using your own custom build program using ISP connector.

Arduino Mega 2560 Applications

Arduino Mega 2560 is an ideal choice for the projects requiring more memory space to used with more number of number pins on the board. Following are the main applications of the Arduino mega boards.

• Developing 3D printer

How to Select Best Blast Door for My Project?

Hey Guys! Hope you are doing well. Today, I'll discuss How Can I Choose the Correct Blast Door for My Project? Blast resistant architectural outfitting, like doors, are extremely specialized products. Once it's determined that you will need blast doors for your specific project, you will have to think carefully about the door designs. All the steel blast doors are generally heavier when compared to standard doors, which usually end up making day to day operation harder to personnel. Thus, you should put into consideration a door's functionality for a specific operation. That prevents the use of heavy doors whenever lightweight construction is of significance. Door openings are typically the largest openings into buildings. As a result, they provide the highest potential blast wave propagation source when the door's structural integrity is not enough to resist the blast wave. To prevent a blast door from any operational failures, the door should be designed for the blast load that is required, specified damage as well as the operability requirements.

Acceptance Blast Door Operation Guidelines

The purpose of blast doors should be specified while you are still in the design stage of your project. For example, you can specify the protection type that you will need and whether the door has to remain operational or it shouldn't after a blast event. Those specifications are important because they can provide different safety levels. ASE (American Society of Civil Engineers) is a tax-exempt professional body that was founded in 1852; it represents the civil engineering profession all over the world. According to its 2010 handbook, based on the required end-use of the door, the guidelines for acceptance are classified into the following categories:

Category I

Typically, after a blast event, you should be able to use the door. The pre-established design guidelines for deflection, stress as well as the permanent deformation limitation shouldn't be exceeded. Also, the specified ductility ratio, which is the elastic range, must not be more than 1.0 plus the door edge rotation shouldn't exceed 1.2 degrees. In general, the door has to be designed according to Category I when there's likelihood of repeated blasts or whenever personnel entrapment is of great concern and the door happens to be the main exit of the building being used.

Category II

Just like in Category I, for Category II, people should be able to use the door after a blast event. But, significant permanent deformation to that door is permitted. The ductility ratio that is recommended ranges from 2 to 3, while the edge rotation that is recommended is to be equal to or less than 2,0 degrees. Also, doors that are designed according to Category II have to remain operable to prevent personnel entrapment.

Category III

Failure of the door that is non-catastrophic is permitted, but the door assembly has to remain in the opening. Moreover, no structural failure of the door panel, the frame as well as the restraining hardware system is allowed. The ductility ratio that is allowed ranges from 5-10. The edge ratio shouldn't exceed 8 degrees. Category III should be specified only when there is no possibility of personnel entrapment.

Category IV

In this category, outward rebound force plus resulting hardware failure is allowable. When you choose blast doors according to the aforementioned categories, it will be much easier for you to decide which blast door is ideal for each compartment. That's all for today. I hope you have found this article useful. If you are unsure or have any question, you can ask me in the comment section below. I'd love to help you according to best of my knowledge.

Why Use Machine Cutters to Cut Aluminum

Hello Friends! I'm back to give you a daily dose of useful information. Today, I will discuss Why Use Machine Cutters to Cut Aluminum. Construction involves a lot of different tasks that require skilled manpower and a variety of tools. In the case of commercial establishment building and renovations, time is of the essence. However, quality work is also crucial. The most common way contractors go about this problem is to use heavy-duty tools for getting time-consuming processes done before the deadline. Cutting metal and concrete mixing are two procedures that comprise about 75 percent of any type of project. This means that if the contractor finds a way to cut the time it takes to get these done (and well), the project will surely be finished on time. For this article, we focus on the metal cutting and why we need the right tools for it.

Advantages of Using a Band Saw Blade

Following are the main advantages of using a band saw blade that keep you on the safer side and make your work quick and convenient. Convenience and Ease of Use The most obvious reason why machine cutters like the band saw blade is that they require less effort. Instead of manually sawing a single reinforced steel bar for a few minutes, a machine-powered cutter would get the job done in mere seconds. Building materials are not simple tools. When they're manufactured, they should be cut to specific sizes in order to work. In turn, certain structures require specialized cuts that you can't get from manufactured items either, so it is imperative to have a masonry saw handy to deal with this particular issue. The perfect cut in materials will ensure that your structure will last a long time with minimal maintenance. Safety in the Workplace The second advantage is that cutters have a higher safety rate. Simple construction tools in the past are made without considering safety issues. Since the handling of the tools is left to the user, some problems arise because of carelessness. Machine-powered equipment today are built with a protective body and safety features in order to reduce the risks of learning how to cut aluminum. Helps in Saving Time and Workload Cutters also help reduce the preparation process. This is especially helpful during the first stages of construction where reinforced bars are used for the foundation and flooring. The faster the foundation is done, the shorter the period wherein the inner works of the concrete is exposed to harmful weather conditions. This relatively helps in maintaining the strength of the materials. A Smart Investment Lastly, a good band saw cancels out unnecessary expenses that may arise during the construction such as a replacement for damaged tools, medical expenses for injured workers, or material replacements for wrongly cut metals. That's all for today. I hope you are now sure about the advantage of using machine cutters to cut aluminum. However, if you are feeling skeptical or have any question, you can approach me in the comment section below. I'd love to help you in any way I can. Thanks for reading the article.

Development of project starts with building its design and the selection of components needed to produce the project in real time.

PCB Fabrication House

Measurements and steps taken in the early stage can save you bunch of time in the execution process. If you are professional, you may already have got your hands on many electronic projects, however, if you are newbie or students and getting your project done for very first time, you need help from outside. The development of project mainly depends on the company you choose for buying components where technical support is complimentary. You can not pick any company and get away with it. It can put your project at huge risk. If sensors are the main parts of your project, you require accurate and precise boards that can incorporate with these sensors easily. This is why I am here to keep you on the safe side. I am going to give a quick review about an outstanding company called PCBWay that best suits your PCB needs and provide you both i.e. economical price with technical support. Following are the main reason why I'd prefer this company.

They help you sponsor your project right from the start to the completion of the whole project. They keep you updated and help you step by step, so you don't feel left out in the process. If you are a student or newbie who is going to step in very first time in the electronic project, don't forget to get a benefit from their sponsorship program.

PCB Assembly

Getting quality PCB is a half work done. Next step requires more attention and skills where you have to place components on the board. How you get your board ready depends on your expertise and attention you put in the process. However, if you are unsure about the component placement on the board, you can get help from the professional support given by this company. Components are placed on the board using two technologies i.e. SMT (surface mount technology) and Thru-hole technology. SMT is highly preferable where components are placed directly on the board. They can help you with following SMT types. • Quad Flat Pack No-Lead (QFN) • Quad Flat Package (QFP) • Ball Grid Array (BGA) • Ultra-Fine Ball Grid Array (uBGA) • Package-On-Package (PoP) • Small Chip Packages (pitch of 0.2 mm) • Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) • Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) Note. SMD-Stencil is also available where components are laid out on the board that comes with solder paste. However, SMD-Stencil comes with more cost as compared to a regular circuit board.

Highly Qualified Staff

They come with highly qualified staff, making development process easy and hassle-free. You can maintain a communication with them through customer service team. The technical support given by the companies across the web mainly focus on their financial gains rather than solving your problems at first place.

Note: Quotation calculator is a remarkable addition to their site where you can choose the parameters of the board you require and get an instant quote. You can get your quote here.

Quality Product with Economical Price

Economical price is another factor where they stay ahead of their competitors. If you intend to order few or in bulk, they will provide you the most competitive price. Less price doesn't put you in the doubt of getting the low-quality product. There are different factors involved when it comes to checking the quality of the board i.e. traces quality, substrate, resistance capability, and exposure of silkscreen and solder mask on the board. They have a separate department to check the quality of the board, where a board goes through a proper testing process. The copper traces are accurately aligned on the board and the possibility of broken layers is minimized. The board comes with a resistive layer which can endure the projects undergo high temperature and pressure. They have recently partnered with third-party testing service called Huizhou Lier Laboratory, which has already provided dynamic test results for many manufacturers across the globe. Their main aim is to provide thermal stress detection that highlights the appearance observation and section observation. They also check the location of each PCB hole, so every component is placed on the board as required.

Types of PCB

You have a choice of picking different boards ranging from a single layer, double sided, multilayer, rigid flex to the high-frequency board. High-frequency boards are an ideal choice where signal communication is required. These boards are used in satellite, mobile network, and Wifi Systems. Teflon and FR4 are the most common substrate used in the manufacturing of high-frequency boards. The substrate you pick depends on the nature and complexity of the project. Teflon is costly and comes with high DK and DF factors while FR4 is cheap but considered as a low-quality substrate where the quality of signal communication can be compromised. You can order any substrate based on your requirements. PCBWay is a one-stop shop that provides PCB solution to your technical requirements including procurement, production, and assembly.

Shared Project System

Nothing is more satisfying than getting your project done as expected. If you successfully complete your project, you can send them details, and they share your project on the website. In this way, you come with a good chance of highlighting and describing your skills to the wider audience. They score and evaluate every project in terms of creativity, usability, content, design and announce the best project every week. They focus on better user experience where you can provide your suggestions and feedback. That's all for today. I have tried my best to highlight the main features of this company. However, if you need any help or question, you can ask me in the comment section below. Thanks for reading the article.

Today, I am going to discuss 5 Ways to Keep Your Data Safe and Secure. Data security is one of the biggest issues of today’s businesses with data breaches being more common than ever. Companies take several steps to secure data, but nothing seems to be working with hackers improving their tactics to attack businesses. If you are also running a business then you need to be careful about the data as it is not just yours but your customers’ data too that is at risk. A business faces several risks in regards to data. These include the risk of theft and the risk of loss. Data theft can occur in several ways. While hacking is a common issue, sometimes employees can leak data as well. On the other hand, data theft can be due to system crashes and other such issues. To help you in this regard, given below are some valuable tips on how you can safeguard your data against theft and loss.

1. Always Have Backup

The most important thing is to have a backup in case anything goes wrong. You can store your backup on a memory card and read it easily with the help of a memory card reader. Moreover, you can also set your data to backup automatically on a daily basis to save time and energy. Consider Microsoft Word, it allows you to save contents automatically every few seconds so that no data is lost if the light flickers or your computer restarts. You can use the same technology to save all other kinds of data as well so that you have a backup to turn to in case you lose the original data. Also, get your hands on a memory card that is big enough to hold all your data so that there are no issues later on.

2. Don’t Give Access To Others

It is important to respect the security of your data and not let others access it unless it is needed and you trust them completely. A business has to share data with several parties including customers and employees. This sharing is risky as you don’t know how others are using the data. This is because in some cases employees end up leaking private information to others. In some cases it is deliberate and in some cases, it is just a mistake. You must push all other parties to be careful about the use of data. For example, they should never access it from an untrusted device. Other than this, you should put limitations or permissions on what someone can do with the data that they have. A good way to protect against such damage is to use limited data sharing settings that can allow others to just view data but not copy and edit it. This way you can rest assured that nobody else would be able to bring any changes to your data and your information would remain safe and secure.

3. Count on Cloud Systems

Cloud systems are there to protect you in case of an accident. Data loss is a major issue that can cause businesses a loss of millions. In addition to this, it can also lead to a blow to the image of a business. This is when cloud computing comes into play. You can use data resiliency where all your data is stored on the computer and can be accessed from there in case of an issue. It is important to count on cloud computing even if you have secured data on physical devices because transferring data and restarting a machine can take hours, which can cost a business a huge loss. Cloud computing, on the other hand, takes nothing and you can quickly shift your focus to it in case the original machine fails.

4. Use a Reliable Antivirus

Make sure to install a reliable antivirus on all your devices to make sure no virus or spyware can enter your devices. This is important not only for computers but for mobile phones as well since hackers can hack all devices. While viruses can corrupt files, spywares and malwares can allow hackers to view your files. This way your personal information can reach to them and cost you a huge loss. Use an antivirus that protects you against all kinds of threats and updates itself automatically so that you can stay protected against latest threats as well. This is important because new viruses come on a regular basis, and if your antivirus is not equipped to fight against them then you will not stay protected. Other than this, be careful about the links and files that you open since they can be infected as well. Always scan them using an antivirus fist so that you can be safe and secure.

5. Do Not Keep Your Data Open To Public

Always keep your data protected. If you are using a password to protect your data then make sure the password is not easy to crack. Other than this, you can also use third-party apps to secure your data as such apps provide you with an extra layer of security. You should consider not just the data on the server, but also the data on the web. Never put anything on public viewing and always keep your confidential information confidential. Just follow these simple tips and you will have no problem in keeping your data safe and secure not just in case of an accident, but also from the prying eyes of competitors and hackers. It is very important to do so since data can be of many types, such as data stored on magnetic cards that can be read only through a magnetic card reader. Click for more on how this works.
