2 .Google plus-More than a social networks as its belt for users friendly environment and strongly growing more than a social network. Google+ (http://plus.google.com) is Google’s answer to Facebook and one of the newest additions to the Google toolbox. If you have a Google account, you can connect with others using Google+, segmenting your contacts into “circles” (so that not everything is shared with all your friends, as is the norm on Facebook). Other features include video chat (“hangouts”) and customized feeds based on your interests (“sparks”). 

As with Facebook, on Google+ individuals have a personal profile, and businesses have pages. When you create a new Google account, you will automatically be given a Google+ profile. 
This would suggest that Google+ is here to stay and its usage is likely to grow. Another recent development is that Picknik, the photo-editing tool acquired by Google, was shut down in April 2012, with the promise that it would be rolled into Google+.

Understanding Meta tags , Labels and Blog Description

To be specific search results displayed to every keywords inputs to search engine results often display meta description of blog post the blog title if your are searching for a site.The main purpose of blog description is resemble those keywords type on the search engine and the search engine will display all relevant text ,site,blogs,images, articles and other things similar to keyword type on the search box.So far its the most confusing part for site owners to determined what keywords mostly used on the search engine.

Meta description is a part of a blog or site which commonly describe what type of site you are

building,the topics you are writing ,and all thing found on a website is being cited on site

description.So its important put thing on your blog relevant to your description for seo

purposes.Understanding how search engine works can help you to trick search results by adding

description that best describe your site.

META TAGS HAS ALWAYS THE FOLLOWING SYNTAX

INDEX,FOLLOW AND NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW

To do the tags on the webpage we commonly insert the meta tags to the html code of a web pages

<head>
<meta name="robots" index = "index,follow">
<head>

this allow web page to index and allow the crawler to follow the links

The control of indexing and crawling your webpage can be defined on this code by allowing or

blocking search engine crawler on webpage

To block web-crawler for indexing you can add the following code

<meta name = "robots" content = "nondex,nofollow">

A blog commonly allow all web crawler to index all content to increase page views and

optimization
we also have great amount of control which part of your blog you allow to visit by web crawler.


Labeling your blog post is just like tagging as a category of post where you writing on topics with multiple category.Its is basically dividing and grouping your post with different  topics or stories you are writing. Adding your labels should base on  topics of your blog otherwise you are out of your blog category.Labels works as grouping your post who have related topics or continuation of the other post.


Does it help to your blog?

It is really helpful for multiple -category blogs randomly posted. Label is for navigation purposes for readers convenience.It works as links to group post with the same label to dig it from from your older entries on your blog. Its a very helpful tool for navigation your older blog post easily.

Do labels helps increase your traffic?

I don't think  it helps to generate traffic ,but i suggest label it to according to category or at least write two or three that best describe your post. Basically it the same thing with tags but the key point here how you organize your post by using labels. Google has suprort page how to make use of label on your post and read some useful hints on that site.


To label gadget to your post here are the steps.

Go to your blog dashboard.
Click "Layout".
Click "Add a Gadget".
On the pop-up window, scroll down til you find "Labels".
Click the "+" symbol.
Go back to the dashboard.
On the "Layout" menu, drag and drop the label gadget to wherever you want it.
Click "Save Arrangement" in the top, right corner.

Some blogs says that  helps improve SEO of your blogs but for me it doesn't really help driving traffic.Its the quality of your post and useful things that can be found on your blog that drive readers to your post.

How to drive traffic to your blog

What ever your content or services offered on your blog.The very core concept of blogging is to get traffic to your blog and market your content online.Getting more visibility on the search engine results is just one way to get your blog into the business,other mostly done to with your effort creating content that most people search online.As a results ,blogging is a marketing strategies of a business or a brand.It a huge market if you have a lot of traffic converted to sales and revenue of content on your blog.

The main purpose  SEO is rank on the search of your keyword content of your site.Of course Content should be more relevant to your keyword search on the search results.The advantage of a well Optimize page is you don't need to spend a dime to get visitor to your site because it goes naturally to your site through search engine results.But There is a huge difference in time and effort needed to climb to the top of the search results, and it all depends on the keyword phrases you want your visitors to find you by. Attaining top ranking on the search engines depends on the competitiveness of the keyword terms you are targeting. Meaning, the fewer web pages competing for the same terms the higher your chances  of success.
