Interviewers think how can an SEO claim he can get high natural ranks for their website if that SEO do not understand how Google’s revenue model works?

For example, If a business owns a website about shoes, they would definitely want a lot of shoes buyers to visit their website. But trying to optimize their website to rank for the keyword “Shoes” would be a very difficult job. More important, the search phrase “Shoes” would draw significant traffic.

They discovered that if you repeated your targeted keywords in your content in a certain way. This would make your page or website rank higher on the SERPS.

If the repeated keyword or key phrase represents about 4% to 5% or more of the written content, Google would rank that article for those keywords. In the last couple of years Google took drastic measures on websites who exercise such behavior known as keyword stuffing by penalizing them. Also Google developed its algorithm to read key phrases with the context of the articles or pages on any given website.

They can tell if the phrase has been forced into the article (whether or not it is relevant to the rest of the sentence). Currently, SEO experts recommend no more than 2% keyword density, for a given keyword phrase.

How to Improve the Usability of Your Ecommerce Website

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

When building an online marketing strategy it is not enough to consider improving the visibility of your website through social media marketing or making your website number one in search engine rankings. There is nothing worse than succeeding in getting potential customers to your website and then losing them because of a poor usability design of the website. There are a number of online businesses losing sales on a daily basis and most of them because of ignoring the importance of usability on their site. Using our experience in managing eCommerce websites along with a brief research, we have identified four main areas online businesses should focus on: Shopping Cart Usability, Checkout Process, Website Navigation and Social Media Usability.

Checkout Process

* Don’t ask your shoppers to register for an account before adding items to their cart. If they have to go through the registration process first, they might see the process as too long and complicated and leave the website. * Make the font for the “add to cart buttons” large! It will make it easier for shoppers to notice it. You may as well want to consider different wordings to improve shoppers’ experience. * An ecommerce site needs to give easy access to its shopping cart on all pages of the website. * Show related products (or an option like amazon.com has “Frequently Bought Together” or, “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought”) to the shopper when they add a product of their choice in the basket.

Shopping Cart Usability

* Recognise repeat customers with their e-mail addresses * Include a bar that tells the users at what step in their checkout process they are and how many they have left till the end. They need to know where they are and how long the process will take. * Tell shoppers where they are and where they are going. * Show all costs as early in the process as possible: the price of the item, amount saved, any applicable shipping or taxes. This will eliminate all possible misunderstandings and will increase trust of your brand. * Since shoppers are asked for their debit card information at checkout, security issues must be eliminated! Keep security badges and trust certificates in place so shoppers can see your site is secure. * All order details must be included on the checkout confirmation page. * Don’t overload your checkout page, it might drive people away. Try to break up the ordering process into smaller bits. * Give shoppers the option to confirm their order before buying. * Highlight required fields by putting a symbol “*” means that these field are not optional. This makes it easy for the shopper to skip the optional information. * Design a confirmation page that will include all details necessary to the shopper. * Send them a confirmation e-mail providing all information to the user

Shopping Cart Usability

* Use Headlines and Subheadings explaining shoppers exactly where they are and suggesting them what type of information they can find on each page. This will increase the usability of your site and make people less likely to bounce out your site. * Contact information and Call to action should always be displayed. While targeting online shoppers, never exclude the possibility of getting users that may wish to do business with you over the phone or via email. * The search function must always be easy to spot on all pages of the site. Shoppers may want to query the site for one particular product or information. It can be included near the top or middle of the page as well as on the sidebar. * To improve users’ search option, it can be refined offering a drop – down list with the main categories or most frequently searched keywords. * On the product pages, giving the option to refine product results based on their price, size, shape or colour also increases the website’s usability. * Content is also essential from a usability point of view. The product description included on each page must be able to answer all questions a shopper may have. * Avoid using jargon language, words that are not widely known by your targeted audience. It will confuse users and drive them away from the site.

Website Navigation

* Use Headlines and Subheadings explaining shoppers exactly where they are and suggesting them what type of information they can find on each page. This will increase the usability of your site and make people less likely to bounce out your site. * Contact information and Call to action should always be displayed. While targeting online shoppers, never exclude the possibility of getting users that may wish to do business with you over the phone or via email. * The search function must always be easy to spot on all pages of the site. Shoppers may want to query the site for one particular product or information. It can be included near the top or middle of the page as well as on the sidebar. * To improve users’ search option, it can be refined offering a drop – down list with the main categories or most frequently searched keywords. * On the product pages, giving the option to refine product results based on their price, size, shape or colour also increases the website’s usability. * Content is also essential from a usability point of view. The product description included on each page must be able to answer all questions a shopper may have. * Avoid using jargon language, words that are not widely known by your targeted audience. It will confuse users and drive them away from the site.

The usability of an ecommerce website, its checkout process, ease of using the shopping cart are of utmost importance for increasing conversions. If an online is not user friendly then it reduces the conversion rate and hence the sales of from the store. For all online business users who want to increase the selling potential of their website, the factors mentioned above must be kept in mind at all times.

Online SEO Plans

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

What is the thing that most web based companies want more than anything else? Getting to the top of Google of course. And not only getting to the top, but staying there for the foreseeable future as well.

To make your website perform better in Google the closer you play to their rules the more favour they will show to your site. So what does Google like? They like your site to be strongly related to the domain name, and they want the content to reflect this.

So if your domain name is called “steel box sheds”, they expect your content, that is the pages in your website to reflect this. You can add sub categories like, aluminium sheds and so on, but if you were to have a category mentioning home made furniture, then this would not actually represent your domain name so you could find it harder to rank for this term.

You’d be amazed at how many businesses choose domain names that don’t reflect their business. Unless of course it’s for branding purposes, you should pick a domain that reflects your products or services.

Google also likes to see backlinks pointed towards your site from other sites ideally in the same genre as yours. There are of course technical considerations to pay attention to, such as having your keywords listed in the meta tag coding in your website. You should also have your main area of business listed in title tag code heading of your website.

If two websites are equal in terms of backlinks, title tag and meta tag descriptions which one would win out in the head-to-head rankings battle in Google for the same keywords? The one that is using the best SEO plan. SEO is shorthand for search engine optimisation. It is an intricate process that makes your website perform better in Google by employing various promotion strategies.

Creating backlinks and promoting your website takes a lot of time, effort and money. Everything starts with keyword research but before that you need to have a clear defined understanding of what your business is all about.

Many businesses perform badly on the Internet because they have not carried out effectively keyword research. Many businesses are targeting the wrong keywords, ones that have little searches, are not connected to their business or have too much competition. This is why many businesses fail to make a profit.

So before you invest heavily in both time and money in your online business, begin the planning process with keyword research. Professional search engine optimisation companies are highly skilled in this area and can help develop your business and marketing plan. This will take some time but if you get this right you can solidify your future success.

Everything begins with proper preparations. Take the guess work out of online business. Seo City a seo Northern Ireland based company can help you with your search engine optimization plan.

How To Super-Power WordPress Search Engine Optimisation

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Wordpress out of the box permits primary management of the primary SEO meta information. To expand the functionality we add our own super-charged version of the All-In-One-SEO Pack. The SEO pack makes it simple to alter the page title and page meta description.

The All-In-One-SEO Pack is a great WordPress plugin that completes the SEO aspects for WordPress. For some reason WordPress still has not got the SEO fixed out of the box.

The All-In-One-SEO Pack provides for you to change the most important page components – page title and page description. It also allows you to change the page keywords, but as we all know, search engines no longer take note of these because they have been spammed too much in the past. Google stopped using the keywords for page ranking in the early 2000’s.

Page Title tags

This is the No1 SEO element to manipulate. Constantly make sure that you manipulate the page title. The page title appears in the browser window at the very top of the screen. Search engines use this in the listings and display it in their search results.

Always try to make the page title only incorporate the keywords you want the page to rank for. Try to restrict them to two or 3 maximum.

The page title is the MOST important SEO page element because it is like the title of a book. And just like a book title, if it is good it will be more attractive to readers.

If your page needs to extend to cover 2 or three keywords we have learned that you can still get effective rankings from adding multiple keywords to the title. But do remember that the closer the page title is to the keyword you want to rank for the better.

Even though it’s best to keep the page title just to the keywords you want to rank for, if you are a branded business you will also most likely need to add in your company name so that it shows up on Google in your search listing.

Page Descriptions

This element is NOT used by search engines for ranking purposes. All The Same, virtually all search engines will employ this in their search results so it is important. Google does not use the description all the time but we find that it uses it about 80-90% of the time. The rest of the time it will pick up the first piece of text on the page.

By having a good description it will increase your click through rates because the text will be more appealing to people. Ensure that you use a maximum of 156 characters. If you use any more characters Google will cut short the rest. If you can keep your descriptions to–0 characters or less this is even better seeing Google sometimes adds a date to the beginning of the description which is part of the 156 characters it displays.

SEO Meta data shown on Google listing

Changing the meta data and page title

At the bottom of every page and post you will find the meta tags plugin details. Update the details appropriately. Note: If you can only use see the title for the plugin and no details, just click the title and the section will expand.

Ways To Achieve A Good Google PR

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

It is no secret that in order to get your website ranked highly in the results pages of search engines like Google, you need to have links pointing at your site, and lots of them. But some links are worth more than others. You can be ranked above a site that has 20,000 links with 3000 if yours are of a better quality.

When calculating how much a link from a given site will be worth, there are several factors that count but you can more or less boil it down the Google Page Rank of the site/page you will be receiving the link from.

Basically, Google ranks every page it comes across (not straight away, they review it every 6 months or so) from zero to ten. Zero being the lowest, and ten of course being the highest. There are pages that Google doesn’t rank that will have Page Rank (PR) n/a, this will most likely mean that Google has not found that page yet, or it is an insignificant page deep within a site, or it could mean that Google doesn’t like that site and could have blacklisted it. You will very rarely see a PR 10 site (apart from google.com) as there are only about 8 in the world.

So what is there to gain from a good PR? Well, if your site receives a link from a high PR site like a PR 7 or 8, then it will massively more beneficial than a link from a PR 1 or 2 site. In essence, what PR is, is how valuable and genuine Google considers the content of your page to be on a scale of 0-10. Each link counts as a vote for the integrity of the page it is linking to, and so if a PR 8 page votes for you then Google concludes that your page must be of high value, because a high value site says it is, and it will therefore push you further up the results rankings.

Having a high PR page does not directly benefit you, but it does mean that you will be in a position to offer better quality links out to other sites, and so you can then request high quality links back. So the higher your PR, the better chance you’ve got of being ranked highly, but only if you do the work to get the links, it wont do anything on its own.

There is almost a catch 22 situation when you first start trying to get your site some PR in that the main thing you need in order to acquire a good PR is quality links. The problem with this is that before you have any PR, people are going to be unwilling to give you a quality link because you wont be able to offer them one back. There is a way around this, but it takes time.

A good method to start off with is to find some sites that are in the same position as yourself (with related themes to yours if possible, but I wouldn’t worry too much about that) i.e. they are looking to build some PR by getting lots of links, and exchange links with these sites. Then (provided these sites have kept their efforts up) in 6 months to a years time, these sites will have some PR, and will still be linking to you, therefore you will have some PR by then, making these initial link exchanges mutually beneficial.

There are several other criteria that Google considers when scoring you PR but nobody knows exactly what they are because this is part of what Google keeps a secret. But we do know that Google gives priority to sites that are updated regularly with new content over sites that are left for a long time.

The reasoning behind this is that if a site has fresh new content every week or every fortnight or so, then the information will be the most up to date and relevant to modern times as opposed to a site that has had the same content on it for a year. Google wants to give people the best, most up to date information related to what they are looking for. If you bear this in mind when starting a PR campaign, along with the correct linking methods, you cant go far wrong.

The Best Ways To Optimise Your Site

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Why does every website that comes on the online arena clamor to get search engine optimized? The main reason being to attract a lot of website traffic to their respective websites so that they can get more business generated. Therefore getting the website identified, crawled, indexed and placed in the top ranks of the major search engine results is the aim of every business that has an existence online.

In order to get their pages moved up in the rankings for their chosen keywords, a few sites stuff their pages with these keywords in the hope that the search engines will pick up on it and rank them higher. This is however, not considered to be ethical practice and if it is picked up on by the search engines, they will penalise the site by removing it completely from the search results.

When web designers or SEO operatives use techniques that are ethical and rightful in the eyes of the search engine, this is known as using “white hat” techniques, whereas the other techniques that are not so ethical and rightful are known as “black hat” techniques. Using white hat techniques and using them well will mean that it will just be a matter of time and patience before your site gets to the top, and where black hat techniques can seem to work well in the short term, they can be disastrous in the long term.

SEO is constantly changing. The major and minor search engines are forever making changes to their algorithm i.e. the way they decide upon the quality of a site, and so it is very important for all webmasters to understand that SEO is not simply a one-off solution, it is an on-going process.

Search engine optimization operatives and webmasters will have to know what techniques the search engines are using to read and rank sites in order to incorporate what the search engines want to see into their own sites so as to be identified and ranked well.

Marketing Successfully On The Internet

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

The constantly changing nature of the net means that marketing has to take a multi-pronged approach to have any effectiveness online. You have to use methods of marketing that have been shown to work, and you have to spread your eggs out among many baskets so that when one thing crashes down you’re still ahead of the game. Here are three of the most commonly used and effective methods for marketing online.

Making SEO better, First, let?s begin with Search engine optimization (SEO). SEO gets you no-cost advertising as long as you pair it with Internet pages that have been optimized using correct techniques. Considering that 1000s of new Websites go online every day, competition is fierce if you want to be listed at the top of the first page of a search engine request. Studies have shown that more than 75 percent of Internet users don?t look any further than the first page their search engine shows. About that same percent click on the first listing at the top of the page.

If you expect your Web page to be competitive, you must design it using a keyword or preferable, a key phrase. This key word or phrase must be included in the page title, in its META tag, in any descriptions of the page, in the first heading using H1 HTML language, everywhere possible within the body of the page and somewhere in the last 25 words on the page. While following these guidelines won?t guarantee your webpage is listed first, these basic SEO on-page options are a must as a beginning point for a successful Internet advertising strategy.

A lot of web developers use common keywords like ?golf clubs?. If you instead come up with a more specific keyword or phrase like ?golf clubs in Chicago? or ?handcrafted golf clubs,? it will make your chances better. There are several free tools available that list the popularity of keywords and show how much they appear in the search engines each month. Using these will help you customize your Web page because you will be aware of how popular the keyword phrase is each month. For example, if your keyword appears on the search engine?s first page listing, but still only shows up in 100 searches each month, the traffic to your site would still be pretty limited.

Once you’ve gotten the basics of keyword usage down, it’s time to move on to link exchanges. Many search engines will rank your site based on what other sites link to it, and what sites you link to in turn. Also keep in mind that the overall quality of linking sites matters more than simply getting as many links as possible.

It is easier to get a back link requesting your webmaster to provide you with one. Once they say yes you can even buy a link on a monthly fee basis. If you purchase this for at least a couple of months, it will yield long time paybacks.

At the same time having too many links without upgrading will result in not getting rewards from Google. Fewer links and higher ranking is the criteria here. Also if any of the liked site is blacklisted by Google, the immediate effect will be on your site.

Above all else, avoid abusive sites such as link farms. These will actually damage your site instead of helping it. If you need the traffic that badly, just purchase a link in a reputable link directory. These will give you a lot of notice and help your rating look good to Google without any exploitation.

And third, there’s always blogs. As the new technological equivalent of word of mouth, they hold a vast amount of power over how well-publicized anything is. People like knowing what other people think about things they’re considering purchasing.

Mainstream blogs are updated every day, something extremely important to Google?s algorithm because it uses the regularity of updates (daily, hourly and by minute) as a deciding factor in the way it ranks searches. Many blogs capitalize on this fact by submitting articles on some subjects to the major article hubs like http://EzineArticles.com. In turn, these article hubs benefit because they get newly information that both makes Google happy and gives them a way to use their money making Ad Sense ads. Also, the blogger is rewarded with getting a back link to their blog in the resource section of the story.

Your blog is used by some x blogger for his own blogging and posting somewhere, thus providing you with more back links..

These are just the three biggest and most effective marketing techniques that you can use. There’s other ones out there as well, if you want to be really thorough. Auto-responder e-mails, pay per click ads, and other such things are all up for grabs, and you have nothing to lose by taking advantage of them.

Further improvements must include off-page SEO methods like creating back links with the top site directories, link exchanges and stories sent to the major article hubs. This is especially true because customers are more likely to go to a blog instead of a sales page, so linking your site to a blog ensures they will also go to your page. If your customers get all the information they need and desire, you will build up their confidence level in your product, thus ensuring you have a customer for life.

How to Tab the Correct Search Engine Marketing Company for Your Goals

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Choosing the right search engine marketing company (SEM) is not an easy task. Before choosing the first company you find, you should consider several different things to help determine your specific needs. This will ensure the SEM company hired to help your business will work best for you.

Choose a SEM Company You Trust

The most important thing you can do is to make sure you have picked a company you can trust. You should meet and mingle with a few other companies and talk about planning before you get into the detailed planning. Your business and the company you chose will now have a relationship between one another, and as this relationship continues to grow, information essential in making your business thrive will be released. If you cannot trust the people you are doing business with you are risking your financial well-being.

To help gauge whether or not the search engine marketing company can be trusted, ask them to provide references. If they are reluctant to provide references, this is a major red flag, as any search engine marketing company with experience and a good reputation in the industry should not fear this. If the company doesn’t have references to provide due to a lack of experience, you’ll need to proceed with caution and gauge other aspects of the interview to determine if they are worth the shot.

Next, ask yourself if the search engine marketing company answer all of your questions to the fullest possible extent without dodging any aspect? If the company is willing to provide any information you ask for without hesitation and willing to fully explain the process, it’s a safe bet you can trust them.

If the search engine marketing company tries to pressure you into anything or services you don’t need or understand, do not trust them. However, understand that sometimes they will point out problems with your site. If they are big problems, then you should correct time because there is no point in paying for advertising is your site cannot convert interested visitors into paying customers.

Identify the Services You Need

Not all search engine marketing companies are created equally. Though there are many basic services such as search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertisement and pay-for-inclusion services, search engine marketing and optimization will involve several different things from a site re-design to new content and marketing to build back links — links to your site from another reputable site — to help increase rankings naturally. Pay-per-click campaigns will advertise your company in the search engine results page on the sidebars, and you will pay each time the ads get clicked. Pay for inclusion services allow you to pay to have search engines crawl certain pages of your website with a certain frequency.

Find a Comfortable Risk Level

Any search engine marketing plan will require an investment before knowing if and how much money the company will earn back in new customers and sales. It is important that you determine beforehand how much risk you are willing to take. Do not let the company pressure you into more.

Take your time in finding and choosing a search engine marketing company. Because of the investment and importance of the business relationship, this is something that should not be rushed into if you expect the best possible results. The search engine marketing company you ultimately choose should understand and be willing to help you with any aspect of making the decision on the right company for your needs.

If the SEM starts pressuring you into things or service that do not make sense to you it is a big red flag. Understand that some of the time they might have some constructive criticism for your website. If the problems pointed out are large, you should take the time and correct them, because why pay for advertising to for your site if no interested parties will visit and become customers.

Search Engine Marketing Is A Specialist Skill, It May Be Worth Getting Professionals To Have Optimum Solutions.

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Search engine optimisation is a really powerful technique that helps websites get listed higher in search engine results and therefore improves your online success. Search Engine Marketing is a very large topic and has a vast range of different aspects to it. If you want to see success then you’ll need to consider some very important factors.

There are two main aspects of Search Engine Marketing which group a lot of different subjects together. The first is on page optimisation and the second is off page optimisation. One page optimisation is the part where you concentrate on optimising your website with things like meta tags and unique articles and content.

Off page optimisation is a larger topic which covers all sorts of marketing techniques which are done outside your website such as link building. Because off page optimisation is the larger of the two aspects, we’re going to talk about the different kinds of off page optimisation.

One of the most important aspects of Search Engine Marketing is link building. Link building is a way of ensuring that your website has plenty of links pointing to it. Having links pointing to your website is like having a load of neon signs pointing out your website to major search engines like Google and Yahoo.

Articles marketing is one of the many ways that you can build links to your website. It’s known to create tremendous results. Article marketing should be your number one priority but there are a few rules that you should abide by if you want to succeed.

There are only two major rules of article marketing and they are; don’t spam and don’t copy. It’s as simple as that. There are also some guidelines that may interest you if you plan on having a lot of online success using article marketing.

It is important to compete with the millions upon millions of websites that are out there so that you don’t get lost in the crowd. Search engine optimisation is a very time consuming job so it may be wise to hire someone to do the work for your website.

A lot of people neglect search engine optimisation because it is such a long process – however, the longer you work at it the more results you’ll see. There are hundreds of companies in and around the UK that’ll be able to help you achieve your goals through search engine optimisation.
