After Euro 2008 cup ended, Chickensay design has changed completely from the Euro theme. Say bye-bye to the old Euro 2008 interface.
It’s kinda worry that Google search engine will categorize us as a fully soccer blog as we started this blog during Euro 2008 fever. Coincidentally we blog about Euro 2008 and Google has made our blog between top 1st to 3rd page when people search regarding of the cup. Search for “euro2008 prediction” will be sufficient enough to see our blog in 2nd page or simply add a combination like e.g. “euro2008 prediction germany” will get us to the top of 1st page. It’s a good start for us to blog for this result within a month.
What we have learned here, keyword is really important to get your blog visible to people. As what we noticed during Euro 2008 month, there is a lot of people search for a keyword “prediction” in different combination for their search. To make us visible to people we made use of it and turned up quite a lot of traffic coming in.

You may wonder why isn’t your website showing up in Google search. Some of the bloggers may miss out meta tags like title, description and keywords in their blog. You may not aware of its importance but it’s one of the main factor for search engine to identify your site.
Without it you may still get traffic with keywords in the content but for search engine, these tags are the first to look at before digging into your content. It is better not to under estimated the use of these tags and by adding it is not time consuming at all.
Open up your file that store your header code, it must be after <head> and before </head> tag.
<head>
<title>Your Blog Title</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”description of your content” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”business, tech, internet, blog, money” />
</head>
The way to code title tag is slightly different from description and keywords. Your blog title or name should be within <title> and </title> while description and keywords will be in the content. Keywords should be separate with comma.
For Wordpress user, just edit header.php file. After saving the file, be sure that it appears properly in every pages. Right click on your page and click on “View Page Source” to check out whether your tags are inserted correctly.
