I wrote this post because sometime I found that many webmasters even on webmaster’s forums still confused on how to get or build quality backlinks to their website quickly but efficiently. Yes there are many ways to start building link popularity, such as by submitting articles to article directory, by putting their links into the forum signatures, commenting on other’s blogpost, and etc. But the most important thing and sometime they are forget about it is about relevancy. It’s very important to get real backlinks with relevancy beside the quality itself. While ‘quality’ matter is really arguable, I mean who does really can decide about the link’s quality, according to what aspect does it scored as quality links, and many other reasons. But about relevancy and quantity, it’s countable am I right? so it would be great for you webmasters to join some text link advertising program to start build your link popularity.

Perhaps there also a hot discussion about buy text link ads and sell text link ads thing isn’t fair and it will bring your site penalized by search engine. But as far as I know it will not. Why? It’s just because that it is the nature of the web itself. Website linking each others that’s the fact. Then the only problem is on how do we play on it, the point is relevancy, as long as your links is relevant, there will be nothing to worry about your site rank in the future.

If you feel your wordpress blog is running slow, especially when you want to post a news, and if your blog is have more than hundred of posts, it might be your wordpress database is too large so that every query called from the admin panel or via your theme/template is slowly executed by the server.

To do some optimization I recommend using WP-DBManager plugin which provides this functionality as well as database backup, this is important for any blog installation. Database tables should be periodically optimized (and repaired if necessary) for optimum performance. Simply install the plugin if you don’t want to optimize it via such tools like phpmyadmin or any others.

WordPress 2.6 added a cool features when post version tracking mechanism was introduced. For example, every time you “Save” a post, a revision is written to the database. If you do not really need this feature you can easily turn it off by adding one line to your wp-config.php file, found in the installation directory of your WordPress site:

define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);

If you have run a blog with revisions turned on for a while, chance is you will have a lot of revision posts in your database. if you wish to remove them for good, simply run this query (for example using the mentioned WP-DBManager) plugin.

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = “revision”;

This will remove all “revision” posts from your database, making it smaller in the process.

NOTE: Do this with care. If you are not sure what you are doing, make sure to at least create a backup of the database first or even better, ask a professional to help you.
