SEO TIPS



DO's: The Best Practices for Improving Your SEO

There are many SEO methods out there to increase search rankings and organic traffic to your website. Here are the three essential DO's you can start doing today.

DO: Use Unique, Fresh Content

Frequently updated website content offers search engines fresh content and sources of new information for their search requests. Simply put, if you update your site often with high-quality content, search engines will love you for it.

All of the content on your site should be unique and provide high-quality information that your audience is looking. Webmasters shouldn't be creating additional pages and content for the sake of getting more pages indexed – each page needs to offer something different, unique and relevant to your audience.

Major search engines including Google will devalue a page if the content is not relevant, or if it's not unique and appears on other websites first. It ensures that individual content creators gain the credit they deserve.

One way of providing regular unique content is by using a blog. Focus on creating posts around a keyword topic that is relevant to your industry. These posts can help you increase your organic traffic (blog posts can rank well) as well as provide Google with the high-quality content to offer to searchers.


DO: Have A Great User Experience

By definition, User Experience (UX) is all about providing the best possible experience to the consumer. As the use of machine learning increases, user signals will factor more prominently into search engine rankings.

Currently, a positive UX provides an indirect (but consistent) benefit on where a website will ultimately rank.

Problems with the User Experience could prevent businesses from reaching their potential in the organic search results and can also repress your conversion rate. Take a look at our article here on how an active UX can help increase conversions on your website.

If users visit your site & spend time engaging with your content and even come back again, consideration of all these metrics comes within Google's ranking algorithm. The websites that provide an excellent UX with quality & appropriate content, innovative design with a clear, structured navigation, are the kind which visitors will be returning to time and time again.

DO: Focus on Local Search

Be a step ahead of your competitors by focusing on local search, especially if you are a business that provides a local service. If you adopt a more locally-focused SEO blueprint, you're much more likely to appear higher in mobile search results when users are searching in your service area.

You can check out our Local SEO tips from the Main Street ROI team in this blog post. By undertaking various optimization techniques, such as building citations, verifying your Google My Business page and optimizing your website for geo-focused keywords, you can ensure that your Local SEO will be at the top of its game.

Don'ts: Black Hat SEO That Can Lead To Ranking Penalties

In recent years, Google has cracked down on the strategies used to "cheat" algorithms. As they began focusing on quality content, UX, and relevance, they were able to remove spammers out of the search results and rank informative, relevant content to searchers.

DON'T: Use Spammy Tricks

Spammy tricks never work in the long term and most of the time, not even for the near future. Google identifies the cause either manually or through an algorithm;  when Black Hat SEO technique becomes more mainstream. They then update the algorithm to either disavow the technique or only penalize websites that are trying to utilize it. If you are caught using it, this means you could hurt your rankings.

For example, you should never ‘stuff' keywords into any piece of content on your website. These keywords need to fit naturally into headings and copy on your site. Make sure you are careful when optimizing your pages as you don't want to receive a penalty from Google.

Instead of trying to cheat the system, being ethical from the start with your search engine marketing will ultimately pay dividends. Other spammy trick concern:

·      Doorway pages – creating low-quality websites solely for a link through to your site
·   Invisible text – using the same color font as the background color
·  Duplicate content – copying content from another source or having pages on your website which uses the same content

DON'T: Use Shady Link Building Schemes

Any links intended to manipulate a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. It can include any behavior that manipulates links directing to your site or external links leaving your site.

These types of links include:

·  Comment spam in Blogs
·  Article directory links
·  Hidden links (similar to invisible text, using the same color font as the background)
·  Buying expiring domains
·  Link farms

Summary

Today, following ethical SEO practices focused on Google's standards, and staying up to speed with the latest developments in ranking algorithms is the best way to ensure you avoid any SEO penalties and have the best chance of ranking for your top keywords."Blackhat" practices such as keyword stuffing and abusing link building are a thing of ignorance.

Bidding Strategies To Consider for Search Campaign Creation

No comments

Monday 16 January 2017


Whenever you start with PPC (Pay Per Click)  Ads, you have to keep in mind the business goal or objective for running the Ad Campaign.


Bidding Strategies



 Well, there are three types of Bidding strategies as follows:

1. Cost Per Click (CPC) Bidding
2. Cost Per Impressions (CPM) Bidding
3. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) Bidding

1. Cost-Per-Click(CPC)  Bidding:

There are two types of CPC Bidding

a.) Automatic CPC Bidding: I personally recommend Automatic Bidding because it is the simplest and most common. Set a daily budget & Ads automatically manages bids to bring the most clicks possible.

b.) Manual CPC Bidding: It is the default strategy to manage max. Set the different bid for each ad group in campaign, or keywords, placements. 


2. Cost-Per-Impression (CPM) Bidding:

CPM Bidding focuses on the visibility of ads to increase awareness about brand/product. I would suggest making use of Facebook Advert instead of using CPM Bidding.


3. Cost-Per-Acquisition (CPA) Bidding:

CPA Bidding is used when the campaign is direct-response related. For ex, the campaign focuses on sign-ups or sales. 

Three factors required when using CPA Bidding:
a.) Enable conversion tracking.

b.) Campaign received at least 15 conversions in the last 30 days.

c.) Google Ads system requires this conversion history in order to make accurate predictions about future conversion rate.


Well, I would like to conclude with this, Depending on which networks your campaign is targeting, and whether you want to focus on getting Clicks, Impressions, or Conversions, you can determine which strategy is best for you. 

Best Effective way to Create a 2017 Digital Marketing Strategy That Works

No comments

Saturday 31 December 2016

In case you're not 100% positive about your Digital Marketing Strategy for 2017, then you have to stroll through the 4 stages in this article. These means are intended to guarantee you have the majority of your bases canvassed in your arrangement.

We don't have at whatever time to squander before the New Year so how about we make a plunge…

Marketing Strategies



Step 1. Do you Have Proper Tracking Set Up? 


The initial step is to survey your following. Do you have the vital following set up to quantify the adequacy of the greater part of your showcasing?

In the event that you do, then skip down to step 2. On the off chance that you have any uncertainty, then continue perusing on the grounds that there might be a few openings in your following that would keep you from settling on the best choices with your advertising effort.

To know for beyond any doubt you need to rundown the majority of the ways prospects get in touch with you before getting to be clients. For instance, here's a rundown of a portion of the basic techniques:
  •    Webforms 
  •    Telephone calls 
  •    Messages 
  •    Live talks 
  •    In-person visits 
  •    Online business deals 

For each of the strategies that prospects use to contact your business, you should answer the accompanying inquiry:

Could you track which advertising effort produced the lead or deal?

In the event that yes, then you have appropriate following set up. Assuming no, then you are very brave to do.

Kindly don't proceed onward to step 2 until you in any event distinguish where you require better following. At that point make it a need in Q1 2017 to connect the openings to your following. Else, you'll never know precisely what is working with your advertising and where you'll get the greatest blast for your financial plan.


Step 2. What's Currently Driving Sales? 


This sounds like such a straightforward question, yet much of the time it is difficult to reply. Do you know precisely which promoting directs are driving deals in your business?

In the event that you effectively finished stride 1, then you have the information to make sense of this.

Once more, it depends on your business and how deals are produced. For instance, a 100% web based business can track deals by basically utilizing Google Analytics. That is on account of all business move through the site and Google Analytics can see everything that is going on the site.

Be that as it may, if some of your deals are created by means of telephone calls or in-person visits, then you have to make this a stride further and utilize a framework to track your disconnected leads and deals. In particular, you'll require a CRM, client relationship administration device, or a spreadsheet to record the wellspring of your leads.

At that point you'll have the capacity to run reports to see which advertising channels are really driving deals.

Could you think about how you utilize this information in your advertising arrangement?

To begin with, you'll need to allot some of your 2017 spending plan to what's now working. That is an easy decision.

Second, you'll need to take out from your 2017 spending anything that has ended up being insufficient. Once more, I'm accepting you have following set up and can says with certainty where your deals are originating from. On the off chance that you can't, then lamentably you can't run this examination.


Step 3. Can You Improve Conversion Rates? 


Now, you ought to have your following set up (or you're at any rate attempting to settle it) and you have a smart thought for which showcasing channels are driving deals.

Presently it's a great opportunity to crush out much more deals from those showcasing channels!

To press more deals, you need to expand your transformation rates all through the business channel. A decent relationship here is to think about a long hose that you would use to wash your auto or join to a sprinkler. What happens if the hose gets a crimp?

The water quits streaming!

In the more awful case the water totally stops, yet in the event that the crimp isn't too awful then the dilute will simply ease back to a stream. We as a whole know the arrangement…

Recognize and dispense with the crimp.

The same is valid with your business pipe. You should first distinguish the crimp that is backing off your business change rates. This may be the business page on your site, or it could be the webform, or it could even be something off of your site like your business group.

Notwithstanding your correct deals channel, the procedure is the same. Experience every progression all the while, ascertain your change rates between key areas, and after that work to kill the crimps.

Step 4. Will You Increase Your Customer Value? 


This last stride is regularly disregarded while making a promoting arrangement. However, this one stage can without much of a stretch be the distinction amongst benefit and misfortune for certain advertising channels.

We should take a gander at an illustration…

One of our customers publicizes an item that is sold for about Rs.2000. On a normal month, the promotion battles we're overseeing create offers of that same item for a cost of about Rs.2500.

Hold up a moment… Why is this customer OK offering a Rs.2000 item when it costs Rs.2500 in advertisements?

The answer is found when you take a gander at client esteem. In this case, I just let you know the cost of one item. What I didn't let you know was that after this underlying buy, our customer offers extra items and administration, which brings about a normal aggregate client estimation of about Rs.3500.

Ok ha! Presently it bodes well why our customer is eager and cheerful to pay Rs.2500 to offer a Rs.2000 item.

Presently apply this to your business…

What else would you be able to offer your clients after the underlying buy that would expand the aggregate client esteem?

At that point once you have a response to this question, backpedal to step 2 to check whether there were any unfruitful promoting channels that would have been productive on the off chance that you had a higher client esteem. Those are the channels you can now retest once you've expanded your client esteem.

That is it!

You now have the 4 stages to make your 2017 digital marketing strategy.
