How to Use Google Custom Search to Supercharge Your Blog Network Interlinking
Note – this article is an update to my original Using Google Custom Search Engine To Improve Network Linking and it first appeared as the guest post Search Your Blog Network With Google Custom Search.
By now you probably know that one of the most important strategies you can use to improve your website SEO is to interlink your posts – linking back to older posts when you create new posts and editing older posts to link forward to newer posts. Without an effective interlinking strategy each of your articles is out on an island of itself. With good interlinking you begin to build a mesh of content that is search engine friendly and sure to help your site rank higher and be more useful for searchers.
There are a number of different methods available to help you do this interlinking. Of course the simplest approach is to use the search function of your own website. Or use Google Search with the site modifier like [topic site:mysite.com]. Our own Dr. WordPress offered his tip of using the WordPress Admin interface to find old posts and link to them. Or instead of finding specific terms to link to you could use one of the plethora of related posts plugins to automatically insert some interlinking.
Any of these solutions works just fine when you are writing on a single blog but if you have multiple blogs then the solution is not so obvious. Interlinking within your own blog network is as important (if not more so!) than interlinking on a single site. But none of the strategies above apply to interlinking across multiples websites. So what is a budding media mogul to do?
Google Custom Search to the rescue!
What is Google Custom Search?
Google Custom Search is a free product from Google that allows you to build a unique Custom Search Engine (CSE), which according to Google is “a tailored search experience, built using Google’s core search technology, that prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages you specify.” Many bloggers have replaced their blogs’ standard search functionality with a CSE which offers the power of Google – meaning better search results.
But this article isn’t about that – it’s about how to build a standalone CSE for your own purposes.
How to create a Google Custom Search Engine
Building a new CSE is easy – here are the steps you need to follow:
- Create a Google Account – If you don’t already have a Google account then you need to create one.
- Create a New Custom Search Engine – Once you are signed in to your Google account, go to Google’s Custom Search Engine page and press the big blue button that says Create a Custom Search Engine. This will bring you to a simple form that you complete to make your CSE.
- Complete the CSE form – Give your new search engine a name and a description if you want, and then in the “sites to search” box give it the list of sites you want included. Put in all of the blogs in your blog network, one to a line, writing the domain like “mydomain.com”. Then check that you agree to the terms and conditions and click Next. On the next page you will be given an option to test the search engine but I wouldn’t bother as it seems to take a minute or so for it to work anyway. Just click the Finish button and you have created your first CSE!
Using Your New CSE
Once you have your Custom Search Engine built you have a number of options for how to use it. Your CSE is just a webpage so the easiest thing to do is to bookmark it. There are also a number of gadgets available to add it to your iGoogle page, if you use one. My personal favorite is the Custom Search Console gadget which gives you easy access to all of your CSEs.
Two things you can do with your CSE:
Linking backward
As you are writing a post you should search for some of the key terms in your CSE. If you have found that you have written about any of these terms before you should take this is an opportunity to link back to those older articles.
Linking forward
Same thing but in the other direction. Use your CSE to find older articles that relate to your freshly posted article, and then edit those older articles to include links to your new article.
This is classic interlinking, made easy even over a number of blogs by creating a Google Custom Search Engine.
Taking Your CSE to the Next Level
So we’ve seen how you can improve your interlinking across your own network of blogs but can we extend this out even further to include other websites in your niche or other friends’ blogs? Of course! Remember when you entered in your list of domains when you created your CSE? Well guess what – you can enter any domain there you want! It does not have to be a website that you maintain – it can just as easily be any website in your niche.
How might this be used? Well clearly it is good form to link back to others when writing a related article, and using CSE would help you do that. But you could also contact the other author and suggest they might want to link to your post from their older post. Of course this would go over better if you already know the person, but it’s worth a try either way. This kind of interlinking is not Black Hat SEO and is totally appropriate assuming the content is applicable.
Thank you for taking the time to read this article on utilizing Google Custom Search to improve your blog network interlinking. While I have utilized this technique myself writing this article has been a good reminder that I need to be even more vigilant in doing do as I write each post, not just periodically as I have been doing.
So let’s all make a New Year’s Resolution to improve our interlinking – and using Google Custom Search to do it.
Landing Page Keywords Update
A month ago I wrote an article titled How To Optimize Landing Page Keywords where I walked you through the process I use to tweak my landing pages based on traffic and other data such as comparing what is working on one landing page with another. It’s been a month now with the minor changes I made in place and I wanted to revisit the topic to see how my changes made a positive impact on my landing page traffic and to see if there are any further optimizations I can make.
Here is a table showing the results:
| Last Month | This Month | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword | Pageviews | Keyword | Pageviews |
| purple widget reviews | 59 | purple widget reviews | 132 |
| purple widgets ratings | 56 | purple widgets ratings | 73 |
| purple widget ratings | 43 | best new widget | 48 |
| purple widget review | 32 | purple widget review | 45 |
| best new widget | 19 | widget reviews | 36 |
| best widgets for drawing | 18 | purple widget ratings | 24 |
| drawing widget reviews | 18 | newest widget reviews | 20 |
| new widget reviews | 15 | purp widget reviews | 18 |
| best purple widget | 14 | purple widgets reviews | 16 |
| new widget ratings | 11 | best widgets for drawing | 15 |
So what does this all mean? Well the first thing that should be obvious is that traffic to my landing page increased. There were 285 pageviews generated by the top ten keywords last month and this month the top ten keywords generated 427 pageviews, a 50% increase. The keywords in green are the ones I already had as meta keywords on my landing page last month, yellow represents keywords I added this month because of my previous analysis and keywords in red are again keywords driving traffic that I have not optimized for (but I will be!).
For me the keywords in red are the surprising and interesting ones because they show that I am getting more authority for the shorter tail keywords. I target “purple widget” because it is more specific and I have less competition but now you can see I am suddenly getting traffic for “purp widget” (my real keyword is actually a compound word so what I am trying to show here is I am starting to rank for a subset of that word) and “widget”, which is a much more general keyword that I thought I could rank for.
So just like last month I am going to include the phrases in red in my meta keywords for that page, and perhaps add some content to include those phrases as well.
As you can see this is a relatively simple analysis but it does take some time – you clearly can’t do this on every one of your blog posts and depending on how many landing pages you have you may not be able to do it on every one of them either. My suggestion is to focus first on your best producing landing pages and then on those pages you think should be doing better.
Looking to ramp up your secondary income? Getting more traffic to your landing pages where you offer a product for sale is a great way to do it. I hope these brief glimpses into how I do it was helpful.
How To Optimize Landing Page Keywords
In order to earn a second income online you need to maximize your traffic – targeted traffic is the best kind of internet traffic. Much of my success is enabled by building landing pages that earn me money – and then working hard to drive traffic to those pages. One of the methods I use for that is to analyze my traffic to find keywords I haven’t properly targeted, and going after those keywords harder.
In this article I will show you how I do that with two specific examples (the names have been changed to protect the innocent!) – the first is how I compare the keywords for a landing page with the keywords that are driving traffic – and how I use that information about the website traffic to modify the page, hopefully for the better!
The second example will show how I compare the keyword traffic to two similar landing pages and use that information to tweak one of the pages.
Comparing Meta Keywords with Traffic Keywords
For this first example I will be looking at a landing page of mine where I am selling, through affiliate links, a variety of “purple widgets.” The landing page is a review site were I provide my top 3 favorite purple widgets. All of this data is real but of course I have changed some of the terms.
First, here are the meta keywords I use to describe the landing page. Many of these keywords are also included as text on the page although not all:
new purple widget review
purple widget review
purple widget reviews
review purple widget
new widget review
new widget reviews
new widget
brand1 new widget
brand2 new widget
brand3 new widget
new purple widget
purple widgets rewview
purple widget ratings
purple widgets ratings
The first thing I will point out is that in the course of doing this analysis I saw that I had misspelled one of the keywords as “rewview” – I am going to fix that but before I do I am going to check Google Analytics to make sure that keyword isn’t driving traffic. Misspellings can be a good source of traffic!
So now let’s use Google Analytics to see the top ten search terms that are driving traffic to my page:
| Keyword | Pageviews |
|---|---|
| purple widget reviews | 59 |
| purple widgets ratings | 56 |
| purple widget ratings | 43 |
| purple widget review | 32 |
| best new widget | 19 |
| best widgets for drawing | 18 |
| drawing widget reviews | 18 |
| new widget reviews | 15 |
| best purple widget | 14 |
| new widget ratings | 11 |
That’s one month worth of pageviews. This landing page floats in and out of the first page of Google for the top keywords I am targeting, and of course my goal is get it firmly entrenched in the top 3 if I can. Given the competition I have the top spot will probably not be possible, but top 5 should be easily attainable and that is my goal.
The keywords in green are ones that are also in the meta keywords section of my landing page. So what I like to do is to take those keywords that are not in green and add those to the meta keywords section of the landing page and, where I can, to include those terms in the content of the page. The theory is those keywords are already driving traffic and I have not even optimized for those keywords – by doing so I may be able to get even more traffic from them.
Comparing Keywords Between Two Landing Pages
The second example I will be showing you is how to compare keywords driving traffic to two different landing pages to see if you can learn anything from one to tweak the other. What I like to do is to take my best performing landing page and then use that to compare against each of my other pages. Where I see differences I make changes.
Here is an example comparing two different landing pages:
| Purple Widgets | Twotone Whatzits | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword | Pageviews | Keyword | Pageviews |
| purple widget reviews | 59 | twotone whatzit reviews | 63 |
| purple widgets ratings | 56 | two tone whatzit reviews | 53 |
| purple widget ratings | 43 | best twotone whatzit | 13 |
| purple widget review | 32 | twotone whatzit review | 13 |
| best new widget | 19 | two tone whatzit review | 11 |
| best widgets for drawing | 18 | best twotone whatzits | 9 |
| drawing widget reviews | 18 | best twotone whatzit | 6 |
| new widget reviews | 15 | best two tone for drafting | 6 |
| best purple widget | 14 | which whatzit for drafting? | 6 |
| new widget ratings | 11 | twotone whatzits reviews | 6 |
The first thing I notice now is something that probably should have caught my eye before, but that is that on the Purple Widgets page I have not included the keyword of “purple widgets reviews” – I only noticed that when comparing to the second site. So I am also going to add that as a keyword for the first site. Read my post on using keyword plurals to learn more about that concept.
The second thing I notice is that on the purple widgets page I am getting traffic for the word “ratings” in addition to review. You will also see from up above that I have inlcuded those terms in my meta keywords. They were not originally there but I started seeing traffic using those phrases so utilizing the method shown in the first example I included targeted those phrases and now I see it is paying off.
But what I also see is that I have not yet optimized the twotone whatzits page with the word “ratings” – and as I have learned now many people appear to search for ratings when looking for reviews – so, I am going to add some phrases such as “twotone whatzit ratings” and “two tone whatzit ratings” to the meta keywords section of that landing page and do the same for other similar pages I have.
So that’s it – a couple of tips for how I optimize my landing page keywords to improve targeted traffic. I hope it helps, and good luck on earning your secondary income online!
We’ll come back in a month and do another analysis of these pages to see how things went. See Landing Page Keywords Update.
Using Google Custom Search Engine To Improve Network Linking
One of the concepts that you need to master on your way to earning a secondary income online is how to link to internal content so that your visitors can benefit from what you have written about in the past. Traditionally internal content means content that you have written previously on the same website. So for example, let’s say you just posted a great new article about laptop computers. One of the ways you can help your readers (and the search engines love it when you help your readers) is to find older posts that you have written that are relevant to the new post, and then linking that older content to the new post. So if you had written a post last year where you referred to laptop computers, it would be worth your time to edit that old post to include a keyword link to your new post. Internal linking in this way is one of the secrets to developing a site Google ranks highly.
Finding Internal Keywords on One Site
A quick and easy way to find this sort of internal content is to run a Google search that looks like this: site:myblog.com "my keyword"
Here are some example of where I search across this website: site:secondaryincomeblog.com "second income" or site:secondaryincomeblog.com income
This approach works well when you are only thinking about internal linking on one site, but what about if you write on multiple sites? You want to link to relevant keywords across all of your sites just like you do for internal linking on one site. Think of this as internal network linking. The problem is that the approach discussed above only works with one site, so you wold have to run multiple queries to search across all of your sites.
Google Custom Search Engine to the Rescue
Google has a product called Custom Search Engine that will allow you to easily search across all of your sites with one query. Once your CSE is setup you will be able to easily find older content that you can link back to if appropriate or link from to your new content. Remember, as long is the links are relevant and helpful to your readers, Google will love you for it.
Here are the steps to take to build a simple search engine for your needs:
Create a Google Account
If you don’t already have a Google account then you need to create one.
Create a New Custom Search Engine
Once you are signed in to your Google account, go to Google’s Custom Search Engine page and press the big blue button that says Create a Custom Search Engine. You will be presented with a form requesting some information. These are the only fields you need to change:
Search engine name: – Give it a name like “My Websites”
Search engine description: – This is a required field but it really can be anything like “A search engine to span all of my blogs”
Sites to search: – This is where you will entire all of your website URLs, one to a line. Just use the domain like “secondaryincomeblog.com” or “johnsjottings.com” – you don’t need to include the http, the www or anything else.
Check that you have read and agree to the Terms of Service, and press the Next button.
On the next page you will be given an option to test the search engine but I wouldn’t bother as it seems to take a minute or so for it to work anyway. Just click the Finish button.
And that’s all you need to do to create your custom search engine. On the last page you will see your search engine with some links to its homepage and control panel, among other things, for now all you need to do is to go to the homepage link and try out your new search engine. You will see that the results come back just like a normal Google search, only it is only bringing back results for your websites.
Create a bookmark to your search engine and you then have a great tool for improving your internal network linking.
How To Make This Even Better
One of the very cool things about this approach is that Google allows you to include sites other than your own. So why not include the websites of other friends in your niche? Now you will find content not only on your internal network but also on your friend’s websites. So using the example I started with, you have written a new article on laptop computers and after using your CSE you find that one of your friends wrote about laptop computers last month. Why not send him an email pointing out your new content and asking if he would link to you? Now you are truly expanding your internal network.
Because they say that a picture speaks a thousand words I have put together a short video demonstrating what I have written about here. Let me know what you think about this method and whether it has been useful for you. Video quality sucks as I haven’t yet figured out how to do this well, but I think the point is put forth.

Make Sure The Search Engines See Your Website!
In the past few days I have run across two blogs of people I know who had mistakenly told Google and all of the other search engines “please stop visiting me, don’t tell anyone else about me and for that matter, don’t even take a look at anyone else I have linked to on my website.”
How did they do that? Why did they do that? Should you do that? Read on for more!
Does Google See You?
Even if you blog for the love of writing and you don’t care at all about making money through a second income online you should care about this topic. Writers want readers, right? If your website is not in the search engines index then when people search for “purple mushrooms” your blog ilovepurplemushrooms.com is not going to be presented to them. As a writer you want people who are interested in your topic to find you.
Here is a simple way to make sure that Google can see you. If Google sees you then the other search engines will see you too – but lets face it, as of right now it is most important that you are in Google’s index.
Use the following search in Google, replacing MYWEBSITE with the name of your blog:
site:www.MYWEBSITE.com
So for example for this website the search would look like this: site:www.secondaryincomeblog.com
It should work whether you add the www. or not. In fact if your results are different in that case then you have another problem which I will write about some other time!
Were all the pages in your blog returned? Then you are good! In my friends’ cases only 1 page was returned – the main page. That is because Google is smart enough to know that there is something there because you refered to it by URL, not because it knows anything about the page.
If only the main page returned in your query then you need to read on to learn more about what happened and how to fix it.
The Robots <META> tag
The HTML code that makes up your website includes a number of special terms that instruct search engines how to behave when visiting the website. One such term is the The Robots <META> tag. Here is an example of how this tag might look:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
And in fact that is exactly how it looked on my friends’ sites. In a nutshell what that is saying is what I said in the opening paragraph of this article: GOOGLE STAY AWAY! You can read more about this tag at the Web Robots Pages.
I believe in both cases the reason for including this tag was a misunderstanding between it and the “rel=nofollow” tag. The former is used to hide entire pages (and should be used sparingly, not across the entire site) and the latter is used for a specific link where you are telling Google not to follow that one link only. For the vast majority of people this is the one you want to use.
What Now?
If you have identified that your blog has this problem and you have fixed it by removing that tag from the <HEAD> section of your HTML code, then you might be wondering what you need to do to make sure Google finds you. In my opinion the answer is simple:
- Make sure you have a Sitemap
- Write new content
- Update old content
While it certainly is a bummer that you had this problem it is easily rectified through the passage of time. Remove the offending code and eventually the search engines will love you again and new readers will be pouring into your blog.
Good luck!
Keyword Plurals – Consider the ‘S’ When Targeting Keywords
If you want to maximize your secondary income you need to write blog posts that are targeted for keywords that can bring you traffic and make money for you.
When you target a keyword to write a blog post about do you consider the ramifications of the plural form of the word or words? If not, you should. There are many reasons why it is important to target both the singular form of your keyword and the plural form, but for me perhaps the biggest reason is that you may be able to take advantage of other marketers who are not considering the plural form of keywords, and you may therefor be able to rank higher for that keyword.
An Example
Here is an example of what I mean. Let’s say that you wanted to optimize a post for your keyword “snowblower review”. As you have probably surmised, there are 4 different combinations of those two words that makeup your keyword phrase (of course there are far more such as “snow blower review” not to mention misspellings, but I am going with 4 for simplicity):
- snowblower review
- snowblowers review
- snowblower reviews
- snowblowers reviews
I’m going to use two different tools to collect some information about these keywords to decide how I am going to optimize my post.
First, I am going to use the Google Keywords Tool to capture estimated CPC (Cost per Click, this basically tells me what people are willing to spend on Ads, not what I would actually earn), and average search volume.
Then I am going to use standard Google search to find the number of exact match pages in the Google index and the number of targeted pages in the Google index. Targeted pages means the number of pages that are optimized for my keyword. I determined this by doing a search on “inurl:”my keywords” intitle:”my keywords” (I’m going to write up a post on this technique at another time – for now checkout PotPieGirl’s post on Keyword Research).
Here are the results of this analysis:
| Keyword | CPC | Search Volume | Exact match Pages | Targeted Pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| snowblower review | $0.42 | 1,900 | 1,370 | 58 |
| snowblower reviews | $0.55 | 4,400 | 6,230 | 91 |
| snowblowers review | $0.05 | 210 | 724 | 48 |
| snowblowers reviews | $0.05 | 720 | 1,070 | 10 |
(Data current as of writing of this post).
What To Do With This Data
Now looking at this data I can immediately tell that “snowblower reviews” is actually a more popular keyword than the singular version “snowblower review”. CPC is higher, there are many more searches on that keyword, and there are more targeted pages for that keyword. So does that mean we should be targeting “snowblower reviews”?
No! We are only just getting started here.
Now that we see these results we can see that the competition for our original keyword is still pretty high. Would we be better served looking at the others? Certainly the CPC of “snowblowers review” and “snowblowers reviews” are not attractive, but if we are selling our own products or affiliate links then we don’t care about Adsense, do we?
Of the other two keywords I like “snowblowers reviews” a lot more and here is why:
- Search volume is 3x higher
- More direct match pages but percentage wise not much more
- But here’s the key – way fewer targeted pages. Only 10!
In this case even though the CPC is lower and the average monthly search volume is lower, I would be very tempted to target the double plural keyword rather than my original keyword, simple because the real competition for that keyword is so much less.
Why is the competition less? Because those marketers are not considering plurals to the degree that they should. Clearly there are still people searching for that phrase and internet marketers should be taking advantage of that.
Consider the plural form of your keywords and you could be getting the jump on the competition!
How to Find Internal PageRank for All Pages of Your Website
PageRank (PR) is a Google trademarked term that simply refers to the overall importance of a web page. PageRank plays an important part of any money making strategy in two significant ways:
- The higher your PR the more leverage you will have with advertisers and other partners. Blogs or other websites with a PR of 0-2 are a dime a dozen. As your website moves from a PR of 3 to 4,5 or even higher (I currently have a website at PR5 but have never been to a 6) you will find more people wanting to talk with you about advertisement opportunities or partnerships. This is even independent of the amount of traffic you get.
- The way the PageRank algorithm works (read this for a complete analysis) is that it is the quality of sites that link to you rather than the quantity of sites (although quantity plays too if they are of quality) that defines how important your own site is. If one PR5 site links to you that is much better than 5 PR1 sites. And the better ranked your site becomes the more likely it will appear in Google searches or even the all-important top three Google results. So it is important to be linked to be high PR pages.
PageRank is not just for the front page
Now the interesting thing is that when most people think of PR, and this includes advertisers that I have seen, they only seem to be thinking about the PR of the main page of the website. However, this is a big mistake. PageRank does as it’s name implies, which is to rank a page on the website. The front page is just one page. In a blog each article will be on a separate page and those pages will have separate PageRank. What you will find on any blog is that the main page will have a PR4, let’s say, some popular articles will also have a PR4, some will have 3, 2 or even 1. And many, many articles will actually have a PR0.
If someone writes an article and links to your site then what is important is what is the PR for that article page they wrote, not the PR of the main page. Of course over time the PR on that article will change, and that is the beauty of the link architecture of the web. Someone who wrote an article linking to you years ago may now be super popular and that page may rank very well in Google – and pass some of that “Google Juice” over to you.
How to find PageRank
There are many tools available to help you determine the PageRank of any page. The Google Toolbar is probably one of the most popular. There are also tools that ask you to enter a URl and it will return the PR. Just do a Google search for “how to calculate pagerank” and you will find plenty of options that both promise to provide PageRank for one page or all of the pages on your website. The problem I have found is that many of these services seem to come and go. The tool that I used last week may no longer work this week since they are hosted solutions. So I have come up with a better solution.
My easy solution to find internal PageRank
My solution involves two very solid solutions that I don’t think are going away anytime soon. Google and the SEO for Firefox extension. First, install the extension and make sure it is enabled. What this will give you is that when you do a Google search you will see some additional SEO results for each line returned from the Google search. Important: make sure you turn off this extension when you don’t care about the SEO return values. This is very easy to do by clicking on the icon in the lower right of the browser window.
Now that you have the extension running you need to do two things in Google:
- In Google Preferences change the Number of Results option to display 100 results per page.
- In Google Advanced Search in the Search within a site or domain box select your domain like “mydomain.com” without the quotes.
With Google set to return 100 results and the SEO for Firefox extension running after a short period of time you will have 100 of your pages with the PR for each of those pages. You can use the Ctrl-F find facility in Firefox to easily find internal pages of a certain PageRank by searching for “PR: 3″ for example.
This solution is a little bit of a path-work solution but I am confident it will be around for a long time and that you can count on it to determine internal pagerank.
What solutions do you use to calculate internal page rank?
Welcome to the Secondary Income Blog!
There isn’t a better time than today to start thinking about how you can supplement your income. The economy is in the tank, unemployment is rising to record levels and people are losing their houses left and right. But unlike the “old days” of 20 years ago when you would need to be looking into finding a second or even a third job, today we have the golden opportunity of the Internet and in particular, Blogs.
This website will be all about how to make a secondary income from a blog or a network of blogs. The beauty of building a second income stream through the web is that you can do the work whenever you want – only available on the weekends? No problem! Write all of your posts on Saturday and Sunday and schedule them to be posted throughout the week. Don’t know how to do that? Well, that’s the sort of thing I will be writing about here.
Now, let’s be realistic here. If you have lost your job or are behind on the bills, then you absolutely need to be focused on getting a job. Building a secondary income stream through a blog is a long-term process – this isn’t going to happen over night. But with time, depending on how much effort you invest and how much internet traffic you can build, you could generate a substantial enough income to be able to become a pro blogger – someone who earns their entire living off of their blog(s). Or, you may be happy to just earn enough to make a little spending money every month.
Why listen to me? Well, first let me be clear – I am not a pro blogger. I’ve been blogging since 2002 and up until this year I put very little effort into making a serious second income through the internet. Earlier this year I decided to get a little more serious about it and so far I’ve been averaging about $500/month in net profits. I’m looking to do $600 this month (edit – I ended up with over $800 in November and $1,800 in December!). Not enough to live off of, at least for our lifestyle, but a little more than pocket change certainly, and of course this is only my first year of focusing more on making a secondary income so I do expect (and plan on) those numbers to rise.
If you are new to blogging or just new to making money online, I know you will benefit from joining along and learning from my experience. If you are already on your way to being a pro blogger then I hope you will make lots of comments to help all of us out!
Either way, please subscribe to keep up with the posts here, and thank you, I look forward to building this website into a great resource for those of you looking to build a secondary income online.
