That field is on the same page where you enter your domain name on the Hostgator website. See screenshot below:

<br/>Hostgator Coupon

Tactics played by the Hostgator

 
Hostgator pre-populate the coupon field with a code and they say that this is the best code but this is not true as that particular coupon code only helps you save 20%, while the coupons mentioned above can reduce your bill by much more than 20%. This is just a marketing tactic used by Hostgator.
The smart buyers who are not hasty (like yourself) will always find a better coupon on the market ;)
Besides this weird marketing tactic used by Hostgator one thing I am confident is that they are a top-notch hosting company.

With over 7 million domain owners, and increasing, Hostgator is fast becoming the leading web hosting company out there. There are 9 years of hard work behind their success story. Hostgator was started in 2002 by a student, Brent Oxley (the current CEO of the company), from his room at Florida Atlantic University. Since then, it has moved out of a room as a mere idea, and become one of the best web hosting companies with over 750 dedicated employees providing 24/7/365 phone, email and live chat support, and a 99.9% uptime on their hosting servers.

How would migration effect my blog?

migration - fish migrating from one tank to anther
Migration will not effect your blog stats. If anything, it will improve your blog functionality.
Blogger users will continue to use dashboard as they did before. There will be no change. Except this time, you will be allocated disk space to place custom CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) on it. You can then use those custom style sheets for stylizing any page you like. In this way, you can create a unique page that will be different from the other pages in terms of styling and content layout.
If you are using WordPress, you can easily transfer your files and posts to your self-hosted WordPress Premium blog. Again, Hostgator provides excellent support in these matters and they will be ready to help, should you come across any problems.
The migration itself will not effect your traffic. You can transfer files to Hostgator and your blog will function normally in the meantime. However, if you are using Blogger, your blog will go down for 24 hours. Tip; Monitor your traffic and look for a pattern in your traffic which will tell you what specific day in a week you get the least traffic. Then schedule your migration for that day so that a minimum number of your audience are disappointed.

Ok I’m ready. What are the Hosting Plans?

Now we will finally discuss some hosting plans hat you might like to consider. You can get set-up for as little as $47.52 per year!. And we will share some coupon codes that will provide you discounts on any of your purchases!

Enhancing the Impact of Social Media on SEO



Given the continuous buzz about the impact of social media on search rankings, it is unlikely that you have not incorporated social media into your SEO strategies.



The extensive popularity of Facebook (Facebook now has 1 billion users) makes it one of the most favored social networks. Besides, helping you connect directly with your customers, Facebook presence and activity has an obvious and positive impact on search rankings.



But do you know exactly how to maximize SEO benefits with Facebook? Here are four Facebook facts you should be aware of.

Four Facebook Facts Related to Enhanced Search Rankings

1. Facebook Titles have SEO Value


While creating a Facebook page name, it is best to stick to your business name. Avoid generic keywords here like ‘plumber’, ‘florist’ etc as it may appear spammy and reduce chances of people ‘liking’ your page in the future. And likes are important for SEO. 

Once you have 25 likes, you can create a vanity url (or username), which can be closely related to your page name. So now Facebook address will read www.facebook.com/lovelyflorist rather than www.facebook/1234. You cannot use generic terms here.

As Facebook pages are indexable by search engines, your page name and user name have SEO value and using your business name will enable high rankings for your business name searches.

2.The Right Category Increses Your Search Relevance


 When creating your Facebook page, you have six category options to choose from – local business, Artist or band, company, brand etc. Make sure you choose the right category so that your Facebook page shows up in the relevant search results. Also the meta description tabs depend on your categories, making available just the right information to searchers. This increases chances of click-thrus and further enhances search rankings.

3.Optmized Facebook 'Content' Helps in SEO


Areas where you post content on Facebook should be suitably keyword optimized so that they can be duly indexed by search engines for SEO. These include content in the ‘about’ and ‘info’ tabs, as well as your Facebook posts and status updates. And don’t miss out on creating custom tabs, which have more staying power SEO wise, as compared to status updates that lose relevancy with time. Aptly named custom tabs are important for SEO.

4. Build Links to Your Facebook Page


In bound links are important factors for search ranking. Creating links to your Facebook page can help it rank well. Don’t forget to link to your Facebook page from your website and blogs. And did you know that when a fan likes or comments on your post, Facebook creates a link to their profile page, which is indexed by search engine. So if you focus on creating super content that receives multiple likes, shares and comments, you create a strong link network to your page that helps in SEO.



And of course higher number of Facebook likes and shares are in any case positive social signals for search rankings.

Were can you place it ?

You can have your divider directly below the post and before the labels, posted by and comment information or you can place the divider anywhere below your post including below the comment area as the very bottom or before your posts.

    (Basically after the last word of the posts)
    Note:If this code is in your template twice place your divider after the second.
    <data:post.body/>

    If you cant find that just look for data:post.body without the enclose < > tags.

    • To put the divider below the complete post find this code:
    (Below the labels ,post time,auther..)
    <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'/>

(Press Ctrl+F  for a search bar to search the code)

<center><img border="0" src='PLACE YOUR IMAGE URL HERE'/></center>

Submit Blogger Sitemap to Bing and Yahoo without Errors


bing yahoo blogger sitemap

Sitemap submission to Yahoo was previously done using Yahoo Site Explorer but just last year on 21 Nov 2011 Yahoo completed algorithmic transition to Bing. Yahoo merged site explorer into  Bing Webmaster Tools with a partnership contract. From then onwards webmasters were requested to submit sitemaps to Bing in order to expect quality traffic from both yahoo and Bing. Site Explorer was launched in 2005 by Tim Mayer and it was a pretty handy tool to keep a close watch on how your site was performing at yahoo search engine. You could get detailed info on how many sites were linking you and could also count the total number of internal links within your site. But since now Yahoo has joined hands with Bing search engine by Microsoft, our job becomes even more easy, because submitting your blog at Bing will set it live at two search engines, i.e. both Bing and yahoo. Previously MSN did not required sitemap and you only needed to submit your link to them by pinging them but with the replacement of MSN search engine by latest BING, Microsoft is now openly following Google's footsteps. 

Submit Your Blog URL To BING and YAHOO

Follow these easy steps:


  1. Log into Bing Webmaster Tools using your hotmail account
  2. Once logged in you will see a dashboard with several options. Click the button " Add Site"  next to "Remove site button".
  3.  
 
4.  You will be given a short HTML code. Simply copy it and paste the code just below <head> inside your blogger template. To do this go to:
  • Blogger > Design > Edit HTML > Backup your template
  • Search for <head>
  • Just below it paste the code you got from BING
  • Save your template. All done!
        5. Now go back to BING webmaster page and click the "Verify" Button. If you pasted the code correctly then your sitemap will be successfully added to the list.
         6.  Normally it should take at most 3 days for BING and YAHOO to start showing data for your newly submitted site but it can even take 5 days. So be patient and expect your blog links appearing in BING and YAHOO search engines within 3-5 days.

Ping Yahoo and Bing

Sometimes you want to inform about a quick update at your blog to Bing and Yahoo, so that they may send crawlers to index your newly added content before time. Don't ping search engines too frequently for it can be taken as overloading the servers which can even get you penalized from search listings. Do it only when you feel that your links are not appearing at Yahoo and Bing page.
Just after blog submission you may also ping the search engines to draw more attention.
Do this:
  1. From the links below , replace www.blogg-tricks.blogspot.com with your blogspot links or custom domain links. (Example: abc.blogspot.com  or www.abc.com)
  2. Paste the following links in your browser address bar one at a time and hit enter. You will see a message "Thanks for submitting your sitemap." indicating that you have successfully pinged Bing.
For Bing:
LINK#1 For Posts between 1-500
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogg-tricks.blogspot.com %2Fatom.xml%3Fredirect%3Dfalse%26start-index%3D1%26max-results%3D500

LINK#2 For Posts between 5001-1000
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogg-tricks.blogspot.com %2Fatom.xml%3Fredirect%3Dfalse%26start-index%3D501%26max-results%3D500
LINK#3 For Posts between 1001-1500
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogg-tricks.blogspot.com %2Fatom.xml%3Fredirect%3Dfalse%26start-index%3D1001%26max-results%3D500

For YAHOO:
You don't need to do this. Pinging bing will do the job
