Hi,
I am the admin of TechTipsGeek (http://www.techtipsgeek.com). I am writing with reference from your Facebook status. My site PR is 3 And the Alexa rank is 42k. My site niche is Technology How-To and dedicated for the readers' benefit. Still I did not make any keyword research for my blog and did not focus on any keyword. I just write detailed how-to guides so that people can get help from here. This made my site popular. I started this blog on 26th January 2010 and currently we have about 7k daily visitors and about 300k monthly page views. 90% of the visitors come from organic source. I use Adsense for monetizing my blog and also accept banner ads through BuySellAds.

Thanks a lot for giving such chance of getting reviewed my site and featured at your site. Please consider my site for your review and let me know your suggestions.

Tanmay,

Thank you for submitting your blog for review. First of all, let me congratulate you. 7K daily visitors per day is a really wonderful achievement. Only the top bloggers have that growth rate.

Here are my suggestions:

1. Your blog title is "Technology How to blog". But the keywords "technology" and "how to" are not part of the home page. Try to include the word "Technology" in a prominent place so that Google will know what is your blog all about.

2. You have a lot of empty space at the top of the category pages (http://www.techtipsgeek.com/category/windows-7/). Remove the empty space and push the content to the top.

3. The title for the category page is too short. Can't you make it a bit longer for better SEO?

4. You have used NoIndex for category pages (http://www.techtipsgeek.com/category/windows-7/). Why you don't want Google to get search engine traffic to those key pages?

5. There is no meta keywords or meta description given for the category pages.

6. Use B, STRONG, I, EM, U tags in your posts to highlight the important keywords

6. Add some sub headings in your posts and use H2, H3 tags (http://www.techtipsgeek.com/add-admins-to-google-plus-business-page/15438/)

I hope these suggestions are helpful. Let me know what you think.

Hello Tony,
Thanks for you quick response and your appreciation will add some extra energy for blogging.

1. Thanks for finding out the home page - keyword mistake. I have made the correction.
2. About the category page: As now Google panda is so active, I noindexed them to be safeside from duplicate content. Why to get into risk of lossing everything just for some extra traffic? What do you think on this?
3. Currently, I am using AIO SEO plugin which do not have the facility of adding meta description and meta keyword for the category and tag pages. So I did not. Again I did not concentrate on that as I am not indexing those pages into Google SE.
4. I do careful about the h2 h3 .. tags in post. But some time it is ignored. Thanks for reminding about it. Will obviously take care about that in future posts.

Thanks again for your review. Best wishes with you and Techulator.

2. Google is smart enough to identify the category pages and it very well know there would be some duplicate content. It will never penalize a site for that, unless you have same content appear in several category pages. If each article is included only in 1 category each, then there is no problem. Google would understand it is category page. But if same article is in several category pages, it could be a problem.

Just another concern:

Take a look at your URL structure. You do not have the category included in the URL. By excluding category from the URL, can Google ever figure out the category/directory structure of your site? Does Google ever show Sitelinks for your site?

Yes this is an issue and I realized that after some months when lots of articles are published. Now it is tough to change the permalink structure as i will lose all the PR of the page....

Let me know what should I do....
