How to Cite a Website?

Published

on

Citing a website might sound a new term to many. It’s not different than acknowledging someone’s work by giving them credit for their work!

Many people including writers, bloggers, news websites and others mention statements of other people with their names and this is what we exactly call citation.

If you know the term plagiarism, you might understand Citation better by exactly counting it as just the opposite of plagiarism. Plagiarism is representing others’ work as our own, without giving them any credit for their hard work, whereas,  in the citation, we mention the name of the author after or before mentioning their work.

Citing can be done to any website, photo, art, music, report, etc. The other name for citation is Quoting. So next time when you read the term quote or cite consider them both as same!

While preparing any report or doing some research, we often stuck around some content on a website, which we just want to put as it is to our report. Apparently, it is unfair to do it without giving the credit to the website for their good work.

Therefore it becomes really essential for us to cite the website, i.e give credit to the website for their work and it is the best way to show your curtsy too!

If you don’t know how to cite a website, then probably the article is for you! There are a number of ways we can cite a website, let’s find out what are those ways!

How to Cite a Website:

As suggested above, there are a number of ways you can make the citation of a website. We won’t be teaching you here all the ways for citation but the two most used ways i.e Modern Language Association’s (MLA) and American Psychological Association’s (APA). 

These both methods follow the different guidelines to show the website as a source you have researched and show your curtsy towards the website for providing valuable contents.

Both the methods i.e MLA and APA use their different sets of rules and format for citation. I’ll walk you through the step by step guide for citing a website through APA and MLA!

Citing a website in MLA:

Below steps will tell you how to cite a website using MLA citation.

Step 1. If you are supposed to cite a website where you know the name of the author, you need to follow the below format.

Last Name, First Name, “Article Title.” Website Title. Website Publisher, date of publication, month, year. Date/Month/Year you accessed the content. 

You can well understand it better by the following screenshot.

Although, in MLA we don’t require to add the URL of the website some websites may ask you to do that’s exceptional. If you want, you can add the URL of the resource at the bottom of your content under the title references.

Or simply place it just after the format given above. To be more specific, the website URL should be given just after the date, the content has been accessed.

The above format is applicable when you know the name of the author. But if you don’t know the name, follow the format, given in step 2.

Step 2.  Not every time you will see the name of the author on the article you took the reference from. In such cases, you can follow the below format for citation.

The correct citation format to be followed when the author’s name is unknown is as follows.

“Article Title.” Website Title. Website Publisher, date of publication, month, year. Date/Month/Year of the day you accessed the content. 

You can see, there is no difference in the format accept the name in the beginning. See the following image to see how it works!

Isn’t it really easy to cite a website with the MAL method?? The steps are equally simple for APA citation as well. Let’s find out!

Citing a website in APA:

Unlike MLA, we need to embed the URL of the website to be cited in the text of the website. This is really essential to do that, hence you can’t skip this step.

In MLA, we do it in some circumstances, while in APA, we do it on a mandatory basis. Below steps will tell you how to cite a website using APA citation.

Step 1. If you know the name of the author of the article, then below citation format is applicable for you!

Last Name, First Name (Year, Month Date of Publication). Article title. Retrieved from URL

Yes, in APA, we write the date of the content published before the title of the website. The last name and first name of the author separated with the commas, then the date ( in the format Year, Month date) when the content was published. And then comes the title of the article, followed by the website URL.

Exactly the same, as the below screenshot.

Step 2. And if the author’s name is unknown to you, the following Format needs to be followed.

Article title. (Year, Month Date of Publication). Retrieved from URL

You can see the difference. If you still have any doubts, about how this method works, have a look at the below screenshot.

When you use others’ work like photos, tweets, FB status, any article of a website on your report, website or book, it becomes really essential to give the credit to them for their work to avoid any kind of copyright infringement and to show your thankfulness.

The above guide was compiled to teach you how to cite a website using MAL and APA methods. There are many other methods for the same which you can easily get from other resources on the web.

The Citation is also handy for your readers. By getting to know about the resources you have researched, they can explore the topic more clearly and in-depth, if they desire to!

On that note, we have reached the end of the guide. Feel free to share the guide if you found it useful and drop your comment below if you encountered any problem while following the steps.

How to Transfer a Domain Name?

Published

on

How to sell a domain name

If you want to know how to transfer a domain name to another person? or to be more specific on how to transfer a domain name then you are at the right place.

So, without wasting any time further, let’s get started:

How to transfer a domain name?

Since Godaddy is one of the biggest domain registrars in this sphere. So, we will first see how to transfer a domain name to Godaddy from another registrar and how to transfer ownership of a domain name?

We have used Godaddy for illustration purposes. You will be glad to know that almost all the processes are pretty much the same for other registrars also. You just need to understand the basic concept. This way you will easily be able to transfer domains to any registrar.

So, let’s get started:

To Godaddy.

There are a few things that you should keep in your mind before proceeding forward and those are:

1) This method will work only if your domain extension is .com, .org or .net only. If you have any top-level domain (TLD’s) like .biz, .fr or others, then you will have to follow other methods.

2) Domain name transfer may take some time. So, your patience is much needed.

3) In general, you are not allowed to transfer your domain in the first 60 days time period starting from the date you purchased the domain. You are not able to update your contact information, first or last name of the registrant.

There are eight steps in the process. Some of the steps are quick and straightforward. So, let’s get started with the same:

The first four steps may be called preliminary or preparation steps which ensure the smooth domain transferring processes.

1) In this first step, you need to make sure that the domain which you are to transfer to your Godaddy account is not privately registered. Make sure to check this one.

2) In the second step, you need to unmark your domain name from your current registrar.

3) In this step, you need to visit whois.icann.org to ensure and verify that the contact information which you have provided is correct or not. Also, check that if your domain name is eligible for transfer or not.

4) In this final preparation step, you need to get an authorization or EPP code from your current registrar.

With these preliminary preparation steps, your domain name is now ready for the actual domain transfer process and this you will have to look for our next four phases. These four stages will be the one which will contribute to the domain transfer process.

5) In this step, you will have to purchase a domain name transfer from Godaddy.

6) Now, you will have to wait for the email from Godaddy that will contain two purchase codes. We will make use of the codes in the later part of this transfer process.

7) Now, you will have to use the authorization or the EPP code which you have managed to get in step 4 of the preparation part. You need to enter the EPP code along with the two purchase codes which you have got through the Godaddy mail in the previous step. This will approve the domain name transfer.

Once done with this, you are just a step away from transferring the domain name to GoDaddy.

8) This final step is concerned with monitoring the status of your domain transfer process.

It is advised to be patient because the transfer process may take up to seven business days starting from the date on which you entered the approval codes.

Once the transfer is complete, Godaddy will make you aware of the same. Also, you may face some downtime. So, do not panic and be patient.

From Godaddy.

The steps are pretty much the same. But for the sake of convenience lets have a quick glance over the process once again.

1) Check your administrative contact information. You may also need to cancel your protected registration or private registration service.

2) Now, you will need to unlock your domain name from the Godaddy administrative dashboard. Just do the required and proceed with the next steps.

3) You need to get an authorization code from Godaddy which you will need on a later part of the process. Some of the registrars do not require this. So, make a check for the prerequisites.

4) Now, you need to authorize the domain name transfer process on your new domain registrar.

5) The registry will notify the Godaddy system, and they will mail you with further instructions. You only need to follow the onscreen instructions as it will do the needful for you.

Kindly take note that, if somehow you do not accept or deny the transfer request then Godaddy will automatically transfer the domain name within five days. Kindly, pay heed to this and take appropriate actions.

6) The registry will also notify your new registrar about the transfer.

7) Once the transfer is complete, you will be informed by email. As we have already told you that domain transfer between registrars may take up to seven working days. So, your patience is much needed.

Here are some quick tips for you regarding how to transfer a domain name to another registrar?
1) Make sure that you are equipped with any alternative email ID as you are more likely to lose the access email service in correspondence to your domain name.

2) As we have already mentioned that you are not allowed to transfer the domain name within the first 60 days either from the purchase date or the transfer date. So, make sure to pay heed to this.

3) Make sure to read the support pages of your new registrar and in any case of haphazard, feel free to reach them via the customer support.

How to Submit Site to Google?

Published

on

Google is no doubt the most used search engine on this planet. And well, being honest I’d be broke if it was not for Google. And I’m pretty sure the lifelines of Internet Marketing giants like Neil Patel and his likes would be very different if it was not for Google, right?

I mean I get organic hits from Google for my niche sites, which converts into Adsense. Then I get automated traffic>  sales on my affiliate pages, which acts as 70%+ of my income so overall, without knowing how to submit site to Google, we can’t exist.

And that’s the reason I’m writing this post on submitting URL to Google, don’t worry I’ll explain why it’s needed and its importance of course.

What Does Google URL Submit Mean?

Well, you write a great piece on something, and then you leave it like that. Guess what, the internet has around 1Billion+ websites. (So in short, no one knows about your “great piece of content”!)

And the time it took you to read the above line, 4 new websites just popped up on the radar! So see? Competition, enough of it, and fast.

So, writing a great piece? No one gives a shit. Not unless it can be found. And it can be found via Google, right?

So that’s why you need to submit to Google your website! (I just finished watching Star Wars, so sorry if my style gets a bit deviated!)

Submitting your Website to Google helps Google index your website. And once your website is “indexed”, it appears on the Search Engine, and then you start getting traffic!

So it’s like setting up a shop and telling people about it.

Unless your website is “indexed”, you won’t receive a single organic hit from Google, well because Google doesn’t even know that your website exists, so traffic? Nope, not happening.

So in other words, in order to tell Google “Hey Mr. Google, I just created this awesome website and content, please let people find it on your Search Engine”, you need to submit website to Google.

Can’t Google Auto-Index Posts and Websites?

Of course, it can!

You see, Google has “bots”. Bots that keep crawling the internet 24X7 in search of old and new websites, pages, links, and whatnot.

But with the number of websites that exist right now, it’s not always “easy” for them to find each and every website, right?

100% your website will be auto-indexed no doubt there. But it might take days, weeks or even months! So knowing how to manually do the  “google submit URL” thing, you can get your pages and posts indexed instantly!

How to Submit Site to Google?

Google is the world’s most used Search Engine, and it’s well aware of its importance. (But still, not an iota of pride you can sense in it, right? How down to earth it is!)

So of course, it took special care of its features.

In order to know how to get your website on Google, head over to webmasters.google.com Google Webmasters Tool, and Login.

Now just click on the website for which you want to submit the URL to Google.

Now you’d be taken to the site dashboard. Now click on the crawl button, and then Fetch as Google.

This will take you to the Fetch page, just enter your URL, which you want to submit to Google. Make sure you submit the URL after the “domain extension” and not the whole URL.

For eg., if your page/post URL is Knowledgecage.com/something/2312321, then you only have to paste /something/2312321 in the box.

And then finally click Fetch.

Once you do, the URL will appear on the screen under the “path” section, now just click on the submit to index button.

Now, a popup would appear. Click on the captcha to verify that you’re a human. And after that, click on the appropriate button.

  • Submit only this URL: – You should click this when you’ve not used any internal linking on the page/post, or if the pages to whom you’ve linked, are already indexed.
  • Crawl this URL and it’s direct links: – This option should be clicked if you’ve internally linked to a page that is not yet indexed, so it’s like you are submitting all those URL’s, along with this URL in this one click!

Done! Now just click on the Go button!

If you did everything as explained, you’d get the confirmation message on the next page.

Final Words:-

So that was it, folks, on How to submit site to google, I’m pretty sure I explained everything pretty neat, but there are chances of you still being confused about in a state of delusion.

If that is the case, feel free to leave me a comment, trust me I reply to each one of them.

Note: – Although this method works like charm, and your site gets indexed within seconds! Well yeah, seconds but I’d say don’t go fetching as Google frequently. It’s like telling Google that you’re desperate to rank, isn’t it? And that’s not the best possible strategy.

Still, there’s no “proven” result as to confirm that doing this has any negative effect on your website, and even Internet giants like Neil Patel have voted for this thing, so for the time being, I’d say you’re free to use it.

How to Use Google Adwords Keyword Tool?

Published

on

If you’re on this page, I believe you’re a blogger/ Marketer. Because these two are the professions that you can’t flourish in, without being proficient with your Keyword Research strategies.

That’s the reason I’m compiling in this piece a step by step guide to explain to you all there is on How to use Google AdWords keyword tool. By the end of this article, you’ll know:-

  • What is Keyword Research?
  • Why it’s important.
  • How to research keywords using google keyword planner.

So okay enough with the sweet talks, let’s get down to business.

What is Keyword Research:-

If I was to define it simply, I would say keyword research is the process of finding keywords that are searched by people on the search engines, which you can target in order to get people land on your websites.

Now, there are billions of keywords in the world, a good keyword researcher would know how to find the “best” keywords related to whatever he is going to write, so that it’s on target, and it has enough search volume, in addition to low competition.

You will find enough keywords on the Google Adwords keyword planner, but your expertise lies in being able to find the “profitable” ones.

What does “profitable” mean?

Profitable means, a better way to target keywords. For eg. I can be targeting “Red Apples”, but there are hundreds of different variations to this keyword, are there not? Like, “Apples that are red” “Red-colored apples” etc. Now, each of these keywords has totally different search volumes and competition level.

Your success would depend on being able to choose the keyword that can be ranked easily and has enough search volume to actually make a difference to your traffic on the blog.

Some Important Terms Related to Keyword Research Using Adwords Keyword Planner:-

Search Volume:-

This is the number of searches a certain keyword gets. For eg., you need to make sure the keyword you are targeting, is in demand. And is searched by people, only then people would be searching for the keyword and then landing on your site, right?

A live example is, for eg. you write a great piece on your own life, now how many people search about your life? None, right? So it has 0 search volume, and thus even if you’re ranked in the Top for “Life Story of [Your Name]”, you won’t be getting any traffic.

While on the other end, if you write a piece about something that people are searching for, in that case, people would be interested in reading what’s on your blog, right?

Competition Level:-

So okay a keyword has a million searches/month! But it doesn’t mean it’s your traffic churning factory. In fact, most keywords with high search volume, are also high competition keywords.

For eg. just “targeting” a keyword isn’t enough to get you ranked. There are over 200 metrics that come under consideration when it comes to ranking. So if the competition is high, you won’t rank for the keyword, and thus no benefit for you even if it has high search volume.

So how would you find profitable keywords? Right? Those who are “traffic-rich and competition deficient”? Well, that’s exactly what I’m sharing over here.

CPC:- This is the “cost per click” for that keyword. It’s useless for you unless you have a niche website and are aiming to earn money “via Adsense”. It’s the approx amount of money you would receive (it’s generally lower than the shown amount, because this amount is shown for the “advertisers”, and that included Google’s commissions too!) for each click you get on that keywords’ Adsense banners.

How to Use Google Adwords Keyword Tool:-

Google Keyword Planner Tools is the free keyword research tool from Google. It not only tells you the search volume and competition of the keyword. But also some other important metrics that you might need.

Now let me tell you what you need to be looking for when using keyword research tools.

High Search Volume > Low Competition > Good CPC (If you’re going with the Adsense thing).

So, head over to the Google Keyword Planner homepage, and Sign in.

On the next page, I’d key in the keyword I’m trying to target. Just keyword its broad form. For eg. I’m trying Dosa Recipe. So Key in the keyword, and click on Get ideas.

So see? On the next page, I get lot’s of “Keyword Sets”. Keep in mind that, these are not the keywords or the data associated with them directly, instead these are keyword sets.

Clicking on these specific keyword sets would reveal you the “actual” keywords and their search volume/competition etc.

So just click on the keyword set that has the “highest search volume’ and “low competition”.  I’m clicking on the second result. That is “Recipe in Hindi”.

See? Now I’d be taken to the “actual keywords”. I mean, the keywords that we can actually target, and their data.

Now, this is the page you need to analyze. Check out the Keywords that have “Good monthly searches” in addition to being “low” in competition.

For eg. in the below screenshot, the first result has 5x more searches than the second result, but it’s “high” competition, right?

While the second keyword has fewer searches but low competition.

So here’s what would happen if you target the first keyword:- You’ll get your article done on a keyword that has lots of searches. But you won’t ever make it to the top search results, and hence no benefit of that keyword.

But with the second result, you’ll receive less traffic, but you’ll easily make it to the top page! And that’s the goal, right?

Final Words:-

So that was it, folks, that’s how to use Google AdWords keyword tool,  you just need to find the keywords that have good search volume and low competition.

It’s okay to sacrifice search volume in exchange for a “lower” competitive keyword. I won’t say don’t go for high competition keyword, you definitely can go for them, but ranking for them is just harder, and you need a strong Domain-trust flow-backlinks etc in order to win the battle.

So my advice? Keep shuffling the keywords until you come across one that fits your bill. It’s better to have 50% of the search volume land on your site, then to be lost somewhere on the 10th page and not even exist, right?

I’d love to hear from you if you’re facing any problems or need help with anything in particular related to the Google Adwords keyword tool.

Assumptions act as a massive hurdle of effective writing. It can backfire your writing in a major way. When a person assumes something in his mind, he tends to jump to the conclusions, without considering the other person’s viewpoint.

Try to Bring in a Qualitative Argument

In order to write a quality article, a qualitative argument is a must. Try to make an argument and support your argument with compelling evidence. Go beyond the preliminary research to find out the pieces of evidence pertaining to your article. Consider reading both primary and secondary sources.

Example- If you are talking about adulteration in food products, quote instances of companies who misuse the trust of people and follow these practices. This way your article even gets a lot of coverage.

Give Summary to the Article

Summaries are a brief explanation of a story or piece of writing. They are a great way, to sum up, the whole idea of your article in short. How to write an article summary is a question many people pivot on.

Giving a summary is not re-writing the whole article again. The idea is just to include the main key points and supporting facts. It basically summarizes the piece as a whole. Skim the basics while how to write a summary of an article.

Follow the 3 R’s- READ, REVISE, and REPEAT

It is well said that only a well-versed reader can be a good writer.

Proofreading is the key. Readout your article aloud. The best trick is to have a sample check. Give your friends to read it and view their responses. Keep a room open for the improvements and adopt a positive approach towards the feedback.

Read it again. Repeat the process until you feel satisfied with your article. Once you are sure about your piece of writing, submit it to an effective publication or the particular online site to publish.

Conclusion

Check for all those grammar mistakes in the process of how to write articles. Look for all the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors! Do not gloss over the most basic of mistakes, as it tends to question your creditability as a writer.

It began as a simple WordPress plugin designed only for the aim of gathering email addresses. However, it has grown into a market-leading cloud-based solution capable of much more than email collection.

OptinMonster is now utilized by well over a million websites and has facilitated over 217 million conversions. 

OptinMonster began as a WordPress plugin, which meant that it required not just a hosted version of WordPress to operate, but also that it ran directly within that WordPress installation.

Major Features and Benefits of OptinMonster –

  • Performance can be tracked using built-in OptinMonster Analytics or Google Analytics.
  • Create variations of your forms quickly.
  • You can extract metrics for use in external services if you are a power user like me.
  •  OptinMonster integrates with a variety of email services and also integrates with Zapier.
  • Display optin boxes according to a variety of different rules, including time on page, page count, and exit intent.
  • Because this is a service rather than a plugin, it may be used in combination with other services. It works well with Thrivecart as an exit-intent popup in my instance.
  • The primary strength of Optinmonster is the variety of ways in which you can create optin forms.

5. SleekNote:

Sleeknote is aimed at medium-sized, large-sized, and enterprise-level e-commerce shops, as well as SaaS enterprises. It assists you in growing your email list in the most effective manner possible. You may generate email leads from targeted visitors.
