Getting the right domain and hosting

UK company Targeting the UK In UK English Weak on inbound links .com domain But - Google thinks it’s NORWEGIAN

– Because that’s where it’s hosted…….

Page 24: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

International traffic Issues

Search engines will use the top level domain (TLD) to assess where you want traffic from (eg - .co.uk, .de, .it etc)

If you have a .com (or .net, .info etc) they will use your hosting location to determine this

Use Google Webmaster central to override this and tell Google where you want traffic from

Keyphrase Selection

It’s a two stage process…

1. Developing the Initial List

2. Refining and shortlisting your choices

See http://janaklin.blogspot.com/2005/06/lesson-3finding-keyphrases-to.html

Page 29: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Developing the Initial List

- Brainstorm with your self and others you work with

- Look at what competitors use (‘view’; ‘source’ then see the meta data and visible text)

- Any brand names or generic product types which are relevant

- Study your web stats for keyphrases which have driven people to your site

- Take you mates down the pub and ask them what they would type in to find you

- Use web based tools eg Google Keyword Tool:-

- You could even ask your customers and suppliers

Keyphrase Analysis

Or…run a pay per click campaign!– 3 months

This way you’ll find out what really works– What converts to

sales or enquiries

Page 33: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

What are the main factors to consider when selecting and prioritising keyphrases?

Search Volume – the number of monthly searches– The bigger the better?

Business Relevance – how important is this term to my business

Keyphrase relevance – what is the searcher looking for when using this phrase– Single word phrases are not good as its difficult to know the searchers intent– Phrases can have different meanings ‘eg ‘cold treatment’– Mix ‘long tail’ and ‘head phrases’

Competition – how much competition is there for this phrase

Page 34: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

What do you do if there’s no direct translation?

“City breaks” has no direct equivalent in:– French– German– Dutch– Spanish– Italian

Textual content is King

There is no substitute for good ‘keyword rich’ content

– At least 200-250 words

– Content semantically related to keywords (LSI)

Eg, valentine, love, hearts, romance

Focus on natural writing of copy

Add new relevant content as often as you can– Use pdf’s, word documents– New pages with related

content – eg history, background, instructions

Google’s ‘Panda’ Update – Emphasis on Quality Content

-Sites with copied content are getting penalised

-Emphasis needs to be on original and interesting content

-Copy writing needs to be a priority activity of SEO

-’Duplicate content’ is a definite no – no

-Also ‘fresh’ content favoured (latest update)

Page 48: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

In summary Write text as naturally as possible Check afterwards that the target phrase(s) is included the right number of times

– 3 repetitions per 100 words is generally enough.– Punctuation not important

The phrases can be included in:-– The main text– Header tags (h1, h2 etc)– In in-text links– In navigation links

– In footnotes– In ‘alt’ tags

Meta Tags Keyword and Description tags

www.asgservices.co.uk – H1 tag

Page 57: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Optimising your Metadata- Important that the tags show a theme between

each other and the visible content

Title tag– No more than 10 words, use hyphens, commas pipes (|) as delimiters – Main keyphrase at the beginning of the tag

Keyword tag– No more than 4 words– All lower case– Separated by a comma then a space

Eg web marketing, ecommerce training, internet consultancy…… Only include phrases WHICH ARE ON THE PAGE!

Description tag– No more than 25 words– Should contain keywords – up to 3 repetitions– ‘salesy’ to encourage click throughs

Page 58: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Major Ranking Factors

On Page Factors (‘Entry Ticket’)– Metadata – title, keyword, description, H1– Visible (readable) html content– Internal links

Off Page Factors (‘Competitive Differentiators’)– Inbound link infrastructure– Directories, blogs, pr sites, etc, etc..– Domain trust – age, age of links

Behavioural (less important generally , BUT will become more important)– Number of visits, length of stay

What determines your position? – Edgerank algorithm

Page 101: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Edgerank Algorithm

95% of Facebook users use ‘top news’– Clearly if you want top visibility for your brand

you need to understand ‘edgerank’

Egderank based on:- Affinity, Edge weight, recency (so post

often)

‘Edges’ are every interaction you have on Facebook– Eg – uploading a photo, ‘liking’ something etc

Page 102: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Affinity

Is a measure of how ‘friendly’ or ‘close’ you are with someone or some brand

For example –– if you comment on someones photo they are more likely

to appear in your feed– If you snoop on someones profile (eg ex girlfriend) you are

more likely to appear in their feed

Page 103: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Edge Weight All ‘edges’ arent created equal

We know that photos, videos and links have high edge weight

Knowing this we should use these edges and encourage people to interact with them– So use a variety of these objects in your status updates to

appeal to different people who respond to different object– Encourage them click on a photo or video– Encourage them to click on a link, etc– In short encourage interaction with you via multiple

objects

Page 104: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Lots of ‘likes’ -but how important is that?

Page 105: Bestbiz kent onlinemarketing-distr

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011

Lots of interaction to engage fans, increase affinity and increase sales

Encourage interaction

Add free downloads of vids and music

Competitions (eg tickets to shows) to engage fans and their friends

Vids and music have high edge weight

Posting twice a day for recency

5 tips to maximise search engine rankings through Twitter

www.wilsonweb.com/linking/basu-twitter-linking.htm

1. Link to your Twitter profile– Link to your Twitter profile from your website, blog, and by using social media sharing buttons.

2. Set up different Twitter accounts if you have different business units– Different Twitter accounts are used when your company's employees use their own personal

accounts to re-tweet tweets from a company account.

3. Use a friendly URL shortener– Use a friendly URL shortener such as Bit.ly, Trunk.ly, or Goo.gl passes link juice from a tweet

back to your website.

4. Use Klout.com to figure out who you are influenced by– Klout is a service which analyses your influencers and who you influence.

5. Update accounts using RSS feeds of your content– You can create an RSS feed of all the digital assets you have including YouTube videos, white

papers, blog posts, press releases and more, and then syndicate these to Twitter.

Video SEO guidelines-Posted

Ensure video is tagged with relevant keywords

Ensure it is in the most appropriate category

Overdub the video with your domain name

Ensure you include a clickable domain name back to your site

Ensure the title and description include your target keyphrases (you can use Youtube to see what the most popular phrases are in your category)

Ideally get a couple of friends to 'rate' your video - ratings (good or bad) have a strong impact on rankings
