Spider  marke'ng  

You  may  have  heard  of  guerilla  marke/ng,  but  let’s  take  a  look  at  spider  marke/ng  and  how  it  

can  help  you  sell  —  online  and  offline.

Search  spider  •  A  search  spider  is  a  computer  

program  that  browses  the  web  in  a  methodical,  automated  manner  in  order  to  index  (create  a  list  of)  the  content  of  web  pages.    

•  This  process  is  called  web  crawling  or  spidering.    

•  Search  engines  use  spidering  and  the  resul3ng  index  as  a  means  of  lis3ng  web  pages  in  search  results  that  contain  informa3on  likely  to  answer  the  ques3on  posed  in  a  search.

Keywords  &  keyphrases  •  Keywords  and  keyphrases  are  

words  or  groups  of  words  that  a  user  would  type  into  a  search  engine  to  find  a  web  page.  

•  Properly  using  keywords  and  keyphrases  creates  a  link  between  a  company  or  person  and  services  provided.  

•  If  you  do  not  iden'fy  keywords  and  keyphrases  on  your  site,  you  are  less  likely  to  be  found  and  rarely  will  you  rank  on  page  one  of  search-­‐engine  results.  

Page 5: Spider Marketing

Validate  content  •  Keywords  and  keyphrases  added  

to  the  programming  of  the  site  is  called  meta  tagging.  

•  Your  site  gains  valida/on  when  the  meta  tags  match  keywords  and  keyphrases  used  in  the  site’s  page  text  and  image  file  names.  

•  If  you  do  not  iden'fy  the  keywords  and  keyphrases  of  your  site,  the  search  engines  may  have  to  guess  at  the  purpose  of  your  site.  

Page 6: Spider Marketing

Build  a  spider  web  •  You  can  build  a  web  of  links  by  

linking  your  keywords  to  other  sites  and  linking  other  sites  to  your  site.  

•  Add  links  to  and  from  social-­‐media  accounts,  personal  sites,  other  business  sites,  and  partner  sites.  

•  This  effort  gives  the  spider  a  lot  of  places  to  go  that  validate  your  site  and  the  content  within  it.  

•  If  you  do  not  have  links  to  and  from  quality  sources,  your  message  is  not  validated.  Search  engines  have  to  take  your  word  for  it  that  you  have  a  quality  site  and  this  is  compared  to  other  sites  who  have  established  track  records.  

Page 7: Spider Marketing

Establish  yourself  •  Establish  yourself  and  your  

company  as  an  authority  on  a  topic.  Your  keywords  are  associated  with  this  topic.  

•  Use  your  keywords  in  your  social  pos3ngs  and  link  to  other  authorita/ve  sources  to  create  a  rela3onship  between  you,  the  third-­‐party  site,  and  the  keywords.    

•  Use  your  keywords  when  you  post  comments  to  other  blogs.  

•  Use  your  keywords  in  your  Google  profile,  avatar,  and  other  iden3fica3on  accounts.  

•  If  you  link  to  and  from  other  sources  and  do  not  reference  your  keywords,  search  engines  will  have  a  difficult  'me  associa'ng  you  with  your  keywords.  

Page 8: Spider Marketing

Current  content  •  Search  engines  rank  more-­‐current  

content  higher  than  aged,  outdated  content.  

•  The  more  oOen  you  post  and  the  more  current  the  content  is  that    you  post,  the  higher  you  will  rank.  

•  As  you  rank  higher,  your  associa3on  with  those  keywords  gain  more  valida3on.  

•  If  your  site  is  never  updated,  even  with  simple  content  such  as  press  releases,  you  will  fall  in  search-­‐engine  results  when  other  more-­‐current  sites  are  favored.  

Page 9: Spider Marketing

Build  in-­‐bound  links  (backlinks)  •  Link  full  keywords,  keyphrases,  

and  sentences  back  to  your  site  from  other  sites  where  the  same  keywords  and  keyphrases  are  used  (e.g.,  partner  sites).  

•  Post  customer  tes3monials  and  encourage  the  author  to  link  to  that  tes3monial  from  their  site.  

•  Create  a  standard  signature  with  a  link  to  your  site  and  use  it  when  you  post  comments  at  blog  sites  that  use  similar  keywords.  

•  Post  messages  to  your  social-­‐media  accounts  that  link  to  relevant  pages  (deep  links)  at  your  site,  partner  sites,  and  customer  sites.  

•  In-­‐bound  links  are  one  way  that  the  search  engines  validate  you  as  an  authorita've  source.  Without  these,  they  will  favor  other  sites  that  do  have  valida'on.  

Page 10: Spider Marketing

Build  outbound  links  •  Link  keywords  and  keyphrases  to  

other  sites  that  use  the  same  keywords.  

•  Link  keywords  and  keyphrases  to  customer  and  partner  sites.  

•  Post  tes3monials  at  your  site  and  link  to  the  author’s  site.    

Most  sites  do  a  poor  job  of  crea'ng  proper  links.  Good  example:  •  Click  here  to  read  about  Spider  

Trainers’  services.  Bad  example:  •  Click  here  to  read  about  Spider  

Trainers’  services.

Everywhere  the  spiders  go,  there  you  are!  You  don’t  have  to  be  just  another  site  that  does  no  marke3ng.    Establish  relevant  keywords.    Use  the  keywords  generously  and  

appropriately  within  your  site.    Build  links  on  keywords  and  

keyphrases  to  and  from  other  sites.  

  Post  content  to  your  site  regularly.  

  Post  content  to  social  media  sites  and  reference  your  keyword  with  links  to  your  site  or  other  sites  that  use  similar  keywords.

Successful  marke'ng  

A  successful  online  store  is  far  more  than  products  dropped  into  a  storefront  —  it’s  an    all-­‐inclusive  solu3on  based  upon  strategy,  marke3ng,  and  goals  to  reach  new  customers.
