- Rationale for being strategic with competitor analysis.
- Google pandaNew York Times Exposes J.C. Penney Link Scheme That Causes Plummeting Rankings in GoogleToday, the New York Times published an article about a search engine optimization investigation of J.C. Penney. Perplexed by how well jcpenney.com did in unpaid (organic) search results for practically everything the retailer sold, they asked someone familiar with the world of search engine optimization (SEO) to look into it a bit more. The investigation found that thousands of seemingly unrelated web sites (many that seemed to contain only links) were linking to the J.C. Penney web site. And most of those links had really descriptive anchor text. It was almost like someone had arranged for all of those links in order to get better rankings in Google.The New Yorks Times presented their findings to Google. Googler Matt Cutts, head of webspam, confirmed that the tactics violated the Google webmaster guidelines and shortly after, the J.C. Penney web site was nowhere to found for the queries they had previously ranked number one for. Matt tweeted that “Google’s algorithms had started to work; manual action also taken”.
- What is the page title, where it appears on the site and in results, also cover meta-description, + bad and good examples…
- Explain each component quickly, not all relevant for all clients but a secondary part of the competitor analysis identifies where competitors are active… slide??
- Its not about acquiring controlled links – for example acquiring all links from Page rank 3 or all from related sites, isn’t what would happen naturally particularly with Web 2 and user profile sites – therefore there is nothing wrong with having a random number of non relevant sites as well as relevant sites.
- There are mixed views regarding Google+ and Search Ranking. According to Neil Patel, “Google has included +1 stats in Webmaster Tools. Through it you can see how many people have clicked “+1″ for your website and how it has impacted your search engine traffic. This shows how Google is taking Google Plus votes into account when it comes to search engine rankings. So if you can get your visitors and friends to +1 your website in the long run you may start seeing a lift in your traffic.”In addition, you can compare the CTR of +1'd search impressions to the general clickthrough rate for all impressions. The data for all impressions and clicks matches the data on the search queries page, so you can compare your +1 traffic to your traffic from all sources.SEO Effects conducted an experiment into the SEO Effect tools called upon the readers to “plusone‟ three pages in the Google search results and to tweet their action. 72 people responded and SEO Effect monitored the impact on ranking, traffic and visibility.Based on this qualitative experiment (on a Google experiment), the following carefulconclusions are drawn. +1 markings seem to have a positive effect on the number of impressions in search results because they rank higher when the same person re-visits the same search or rank higher results in the social circle of those who marked the link. A +1 mark also has a higher visibility in a search result, which could raise the click through rate to the website.All in all, this increased visibility and CTR can raise traffic to a websites’ substantially. We measured an increase of 20% with our limited experiment. Be sure to read the tips at the end of this document about how you can add the +1 button to your website and increase +1 marks.+1 annotations seem to have a positive effect on search impressions - As you have to be logged in to see +1 in search results, there is a tendency for personalization and search history to come into play. As a result, +1'd selections tend to have a higher position when users re-visit earlier searches.Also, as would be expected and as is currently the case for 'shared on Twitter' results, +1'd results are highly visible in the social circle results which tend to appear mid way down the SERPs page.+1 annotations have a positive effect on the visibility of a search result - Users from your social circle who "+1'd this" provides another visual cue to the user which may increase clickthrough rates (CTR) on that listing. This would bear out research from Verisign and Xmarks who have also reported increased clickthroughs by overlaying trust factors into SERPs.
- The term social media refers to the use of web-based & mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.The logos displayed are just some of the online tools and platforms that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Social Media is defined as “a group of internet based applications that build on foundations of Web2.0 that allow the creation of user generated content and facilitate info sharing over the internet”What is Web2.0? = A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in social media
- Social media: the online technology & methods through which people can share content, personal opinions, swap different perspectives and insights into world issues and generally discuss the evolution of media in itself. Social media website content can come in many shapes and forms:
- Social media and SEO need to be integrated to succeed in your search engine optimization. That is the future of SEO!SEO used to be a relativity simple process; good use of keywords on the page and in the anchor text of inbound links, good content for users to read and this combined usually lead to good rankings. These factors are still important but search engines are moving to use a site’s branding, visitor behavior, and social participation to define rankings.So now you need good keywords, good linking strategy, strong brand, great behavior, and strong social participation. What it means is user engagement is the core of your SEO in the future.
- Decide where Social Media fits for you?Identify your target communityAssess Available resource & capabilitiesVisualise – what does success or ROI look likeDetermine Today’s actionsLearn how to engage with online influencersExamine what leading companies or your competitors are already doing!...Planning strategy and rationale NOT fans, friends and followers
- Rather than a linear 1 to 1 strategy – linking has evolved more into developing a cloud of points of presence which have some degree of interlinking through social bookmarks and RSS syndication which has the overall effect of delivery authority to your web site..This is a diagram showing one cloud, in reality ongoing link building is building a network of clouds which deliver benefit to your site but also are interlinked with the internet in general to build your authority for the target phrases. Quality unique content is created on sites, such as articles, blogs. press releases and social networks.Natural phenomenon linking is created through RSS feed syndication.All points of presence are promoted with social bookmarking (various sites shown with the small logos).End result is “cloud” with an ever increasing value that funnels value through to the target site.Point to make is that it is a network within a network. The above doesn’t look natural as implies everything goes though to the client BUT each and everyone of these sites also links to a huge number of other sites on the internet (central core....).
- To show that it is an ongoing process.To show your cloud is not isolated from the rest of the internet, if you remember the first slide, your cloud is very much part of the internet.Blue lines represent links to other sites on the internet to hopefully visual show interconnectivity and “match” with the touchgraph at the start (nothing meant by that apart from the visual look).
- We live in an ever increasing web savvy world and 2012 is a “New Digital Era” where people are connecting with content and brands through multiple screens such as smart phones, laptops, 3D TVs, iPads and other media tablets. Therefore businesses have the unprecedented opportunity to engage consumers at multiple touchpoints throughout their day. Although more people are researching products and services online, getting noticed by these consumers is becoming more and more difficult. Competition is fiercer than ever. Big brands have huge resources at their disposal — and they’re spending billions of dollars a year in the race to the top of the search engine results. (Google websites earned $12.1 billion in search and display ad revenues for the first six months of 2011, according to eMarketer.)If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, you may think you don’t have the budget or resources to go toe-to-toe with bigger competitors. You might wonder if it’s worthwhile to invest time and money in an SEO strategy when you’re a rather small fish in a seemingly big pond.Good news for small businessesSmall businesses have a distinct advantage over big brands in that they’re much more nimble. Meaning, instead of getting caught up in the red tape typical of larger, slow-moving organizations, a small business can act quickly to capitalize on new trends and position their site for success in the search engines.
- "The Internet is still growing fast and new websites spring up all the time. The key factors in terms of Google ranking haven't changed:if sites produce great, original content that is structured well and offers users a good on-site experience, then they'll rank well."
