Do you use tag in your blog post?As I saw a lot blogger like to use tag, and some putting fancy tag cloud on their side bar. So far I did not use much tags on my blog post, kinda confuse to differentiate what is tag and categories.

Categories Vs Tag
For example, categories is to separate each different topic, every topic we write, definitely will belong to one categories such as book, categories in financial, computer, gardening and so on. While tag, each topic, might have few tags, example a topic talking about computer, you may have few tags such as “software”, “graphic”, “business logo”, or “internet”, “paypal”, “make money online”

Introduce to WordPress Tag Cloud Plugin
If you looking to install a tag cloud in your blog, you might like this tag cloud wordpress plugin from empiritag.com, this widget is a Flash-based tag cloud design with using form of 3D drum. Easy to install, just require to upload the plugin into your plugin folder and activate it.  Once you activate, just put this code [empiritag-insert-code] at any where in your content which you wish the tag cloud to be appear.

Worry loss traffic from Search Engine after change the permalink structure?

Here my experience and solution…
Since I start to blog iCalvyn.com, my blogging platform (WordPress) are install in http://blog.iCalvyn.com which is a subdomain. Any one who access www.iCalvyn.com will be redirect to http://blog.iCalvyn.com (subdomain)

After few month hardwork on traffic marketing and link building, google have rank me PR3, this both domain iCalvyn.com and blog.iCalvyn.com. Half year later, when google make another rank, my main URL www.iCalvyn.com maintain PR3 while my subdomain http://blog.iCalvyn.com become PR0… what a sad story…

I keep on asking google reconsider ranking my website, and few month back google just give me a PR2 for my subdomain, main URL still maintain PR3. I still not happy on this, I deserve to get higher PR.

For this case, I was planning to migrate my blog from the sub domain to the main URL, but I worry on the traffic from search engine(SE) will be loss. Example traffic from SE access http://blog.icalvyn.com/hello-world will be no longer exist after I change.

WTH!

Where is all my Traffic?…

Oops, is just my mistake to DEACTIVATE the plugin. Previously before I change my theme, I have put the google analytics code in my theme index.php. So there are no problem even I DEACTIVATE the plugin, and I have forgot my New theme without google analytics code. So my Google Analytics cant detect any result from iCalvyn.com after the plugin DEACTIVATED.

What Plugin I use -> Untimate GA
This plug in enable you a lot such as inbound and outbound link, to know more about this plugin, you may visit Ultimate GA all the function and feature are listed there

After activate this plugin, go to option -> Untimate GA -> you need to put the Google Analytics account ID there.

The account ID you may obtain from the script that generate from Google Analytics. such as below.

<script src=”http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js” type=”text/javascript”> </script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
_uacct = “UA-xxxxxxx-x“;
urchinTracker();
</script>

UA-xxxxxxx-x are the code require to put in. To download this, you may download here.

Well, enjoy this plugin and tell me what is your todays traffic
