#DigitalMarketing How did we do? @MrJonPayne

DON’T GET LOST IN GRAPHS
• What is the number one business objective of the company?
• How does the website fit into the overall business strategy?
• How do you attract new visitors to the website?
• What do you want visitors to do on the website?
• How do you know if the website is successful?

SEO
PARTICULARLY, GOOGLE

#DigitalMarketing Exercise 2 – What can Google use as trust indicators? @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing Context… does this make sense as something that cures @MrJonPayne
toothache?

#DigitalMarketing Name Address Phone number – are these referenced elsewhere @MrJonPayne
on the web, in context, by reputable sources?

#DigitalMarketing Query Deserves Freshness (QDF) @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing Is this image useful to help me organise the universe @MrJonPayne

NO 1 ON GOOGLE ISN’T THE
GOAL
Google in 2001 isn’t the same as now

#DigitalMarketing The singularity! Almost. Things not strings. @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing Where’s your number one? NOT EVEN ANY ADS! @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing The singularity cometh. But in the meantime @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNHR6IQJGZs @MrJonPayne

#DigitalMarketing Matt talked about links. A link is something that you click / press on a @MrJonPayne
page which then fires off an event.

#DigitalMarketing Your logo is a link, right? RIGHT? @MrJonPayne

INTERNAL LINKS
www.yoursite.com/page-a
www.yoursite.com/page-b
When page a links to page b, page a bestows some of its
authority onto page b

EXTERNAL LINKS
www.anothersite.com/page-b
You’re saying to your visitors (and Google), “Hey, you can trust
this other site, because I do”

INBOUND LINKS
More inbound links is good then, right?

CC
WITH LINKS
QUALITY >
QUANTITY

INBOUND LINKS
GOOD – ONLY AS LONG AS THE OTHER SITE IS
TRUSTWORTHY

RECIPROCAL LINKS
Beloved of ‘SEO’ companies, but think of the Knowledge Graph
Unless there is a demonstrable ‘real world’ partnership it’s risky

LINKS PASS AUTHORITY
Local Chamber of
Commerce
Few people link to it,
but those that do are
trustworthy
Your
site
BBC
lots of links to it,
so it has lots of
authority
Link Farm
Loads of links to
it, but mainly
reciprocal and
quite a few
questionable
links
Cultivate links from trusted websites, they pass more authority

LINKS PASS AUTHORITY
Your
site
Local blog

Local press

Local Chamber of
A diverse, relevant and growing set of linking websites is best
BBC

DON’T WASTE HOMEPAGE LINKS
www.yoursite.com/index
www.yoursite.com/stuff-the-customer-buys
Don’t waste that strength on privacy policy, terms and conditions
and your web designer

CULTIVATE INBOUND LINKS TO
IMPORTANT PAGES
www.yoursite.com/stuff-the-customer-buys
Your homepage will always rank well, so give deeper, important
pages some love

KEEP IT NATURAL

#WTF??
Is this reflected
on news sites,
social media,
search
volumes?

HOW DO I GET MORE
LINKS TO MY SITE?

#DigitalMarketing NEVER BUY LINKS! If someone tells you they’re a master od the @MrJonPayne
dark arts of SEO, they’re not.

WHO LINKS
TO YOUR
COMPETITORS?
#DigitalMarketing https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ Apply some common sense to @MrJonPayne
these results and think – why should these sites link to mine?

GET INVOLVED = GET LINKS
• Discussion forums (be a really useful engine)
• Research (white papers, or mine your data)
• Social bookmarking (reddit, stumbleupon, etc)
• Social media
• PR / Press Releases
• Comment on industry blogs
• Demonstrate partnerships IRL*
• Why not start your own blog?
Ignore social bookmarking if you’re not already using it
*In Real Life

Network

#DigitalMarketing Google only please – and none of this ‘Display ads when you feel @MrJonPayne
