SEO TIPS

LINK DEVELOPMENT:
BUILDING LINKS THAT MATTER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gone are the days when adding multiple links from any website would immediately bump your own site to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). Today, Google and other SEO-centric search engines (like Blekko) are spending a fair amount of time and resources figuring out the differences between an organic or natural link and those links that have been “built”. SEOs need to adapt. Link development — the practice of building deep links — is the new link building.

The Basics of Link Development

Link development is not the same as link building. Unlike traditional practices of acquiring links — any links — by whatever means necessary, link development is based on strategy to build organic backlink growth.
Developing links of the highest quality (and best value to search engines) requires that we follow some basic guidelines

1. Site placement matters


  • Links that are part of the content are more valuable than footer links or blog roll links.
  • Links on the left side of a Web page (believed to be indexed first) are more influential than those on the right side.
2. Anchor text
  • Blekko CEO Rich Skrenta recently said that one of the factors search engines can most easily detect is  anchor text frequency. Constantly link building for one or two keywords and using those terms repeatedly in anchor text will set off red flags with the search engines as non-organic link building 
3. No-Follow/Do-Follow Blog comments
  • Spammy blog comments are simply a waste of time.
  • However, if your vertical is heavily influenced by blogs (fashion, tech gadgets), it is beneficial to engage with these blogs as an enthusiastic user and consumer. Do this regardless of whether the links that point to your site are follow or no-follow. The cumulative effect of participation will benefit your brand and SEO efforts. 


Powerful Link Development Techniques

Now that we have a grip on a few basic but essential link development techniques, it’s time to look at some ways to build highly valuable links through more intricate means. The following tactics might take a little more 
effort, but they will provide extreme value now and for a long time to come. 

1. Building widgets
Building useful widgets is a powerful link development technique. However, it’s a tough nut to crack. Creating a widget is simple. Getting mass adoption is much tougher. Make sure the widget has a strong value proposition — strong enough for hundreds and thousands of other owners to add to their own websites. In the age of niche advertising options remember that you are competing for website real-estate with the likes of Google AdSense and a plethora of different retargeting/remarketing display advertising agencies offering  anywhere between $0.50 - $5 CPCs. 

Here are a couple of examples of widgets that have had great success in being adopted.

  • Bizrate provides e-commerce websites with a “stamp of approval”, which helps with onpage conversions. According to Open Site Explorer, 50 percent of Bizrate’s backlinks are attributable to the widget. 
  • The Yelp Review Widget provides small and local businesses with quality, trusted third-party content,  including a map to the business’ location. Many businesses use the Yelp widget to add legitimacy to their brand and functionality for users.
2. Infographics
  • Infographics are a great way to develop topically relevant links to your website. The sole purpose of the infographic should be to create viral-worthy content and gain user adoption. Of course, to succeed, the infographic must be useful and/or entertaining.

Tracking/Reporting

Tracking your link development process is extremely important — you are driving blind without measurement. Tracking SEO campaigns will help you put a finger on which strategies are working versus those that are not. You can then double your efforts the winning strategies for even greater link development. Here are some
ways of tracking your link graph

1. Google Webmaster Open Site Explorer (http://opensiteexplorer.com)
Open Site Explorer is a robust tool (if you use the API) that gives insight into your site’s link graph, anchor text distribution and trustrank.

  • Link Graph: You can plot your very own link graph by tracking changes on Open Site Explorer’s “external followed links”. By plotting the number of links that point to your site each week you can keep a close watch on your link graph.
  • Anchor Text Distribution: This metric helps with competitive sizing. You can compare the amount of  keyword-specific anchor texts that are pointing to your competitor versus your own site. Although anchor text volume is not the only ranking factor, it helps benchmark yourself against the competition.
2. Google Webmaster
The Google Webmaster Tool has come a long way since it started — it now offers day-by-day updates on your site’s health, internal and external links, keyword ranking, visits and click-through data. This is extremely powerful data for all SEOs.

Some of the most useful features are:
  • Monitor internal links
  • Monitor external links
  • Evaluate site performance
  • Project traffic/revenue based on search query analysis
  • Track duplicate Title/Meta Tags
  • Track crawl errors
  • Submit sitemaps
Out the features above, my personal favorite is the Search Query Analysis. This tool can be used to predict the effect of increasing a keyword’s rank, on traffic and even revenue. Overall, link building as you knew it has changed. As SEOs, we must evolve and adapt with the practice of link development. Building value and not just volume will provide sustainable SEO practices and — most important — relevancy, in both the virtual eyes of the search engines and with our users, who are increasingly influencing SEO.

Local Search Profile Optimization



Not only are local listings gaining valuable real estate on the search results pages, locally focused websites are appearing with more frequency for nonspecific search phrases as well, thanks in part to Google Instant and the real-time nature of today’s Web. So what can you do to leverage this growth?





Hopefully you have already
1) claimed your business listing and/or submitted your website to online services like Google Places and Yelp, among the many others,
2) promoted your website and brand on social destinations like Facebook and Twitter, and
3) become involved with location-aware applications like Foursquare and Gowalla.

All of these channels present excellent ways of getting local search traffic to your website. But often overlooked are the factors that influence how profile pages from these Web services are returned to users. Actively optimizing local search profiles improves search engine rankings and the chances that your website will appear in the first few positions on local query results.

About Profile Optimization

While not technically a page on your website, claiming and validating local listings on Google, Bing and Yahoo! can drive high-quality, targeted traffic and help your site rank higher within local search results. While unclaimed local listings can sometimes outrank claimed local listings, it is still vital to claim your profiles as it gives you complete control of what is  displayed to users and prevents someone else from claiming your listings (and reputation).

Here are the major ranking factors to consider when building your local search engine pages:

Location (Address): Does your business address need to be in the actual city of the search query to rank? For the most part, yes, particularly if you are located in a large city. There are some exceptions for smaller towns — if there are not enough matches then the search engine may take results from neighboring towns. But your business’ physical location is a major ranking factor when it comes to local search. Make sure to include as much information as possible, including longitudinal and latitudinal data.

Business Category: Make sure your business is categorized correctly — if secondary category choices are available, select a few over time to see which ones positively influence your position and traffic.

Business Name: Consider your business name the "title" Tag of your local profile listing. When you have a keyword(s) in your business name it will help improve ranking, but it is not  necessary (or advised) to saturate the listings with keywords. For example, if you own a hamburger restaurant named Chuck’s and your local listing displays only “Chuck’s”, consider changing the listing to “Chuck’s Hamburger Restaurant”. Many people will use the keywords “hamburger restaurant” to search for your business.

Citations: Citations are when your business is mentioned (but not necessarily linked to) elsewhere on the Web. Citations are like links, in that the more you have the better. Citations build trust with the search engines and give you a boost when it comes to ranking, especially with Google Maps. You can see your citations on your Google Places page under “What people are saying about”. Check out the competition and make sure you make an attempt to get citations from the same or related sources.

Reviews and Ratings: Not only will good reviews and ratings have a positive effect on your local listing ranking, it will also help the click-through rate of your listing. Encourage existing clientele to submit reviews and ratings and reward them when they do.

Complete Profiles: Take time to fill out your local business profile pages completely. Add business hours, payment options and craft a well-written description of your business. Even add pictures and videos if you have them. Also, be sure that the information on your local listing pages is consistent across all directories.

Remember to claim and submit your website to the primary local providers  and test different profile information combinations to see what influences return list position and website traffic. While often tedious to complete and validate (and for some, to create unique landing pages for each business location), these efforts will more than pay for themselves in the form of quality local traffic.

Social Media Marketing - A Grasp


Social Media, if we break down the meaning of these two words, is a channel or means, such as the World Wide Web, where people interact with each other. Nowadays, different social media platforms have been spreading all throughout the web. If you are into meeting new friends and posting of personal photos, while playing online games at the same time, you'd most likely be in Facebook. If blogging is your calling, you'd probably sign up for a Blogger page. If you had a collection of videos and would wish to share them to strangers who'll soon become your "online buddies", you'd rather create a YouTube account. I have one for almost everything. These sites are only some of the widely used by people of different backgrounds, races, and ages, ranging from teens and tweens to the young-at-heart.

Every social media site has its own way of giving fun and pleasure to each of their avid users. A common feature is friends search. This is where you can find your pre-school bestfriend or even, while you keep your fingers crossed at least, your childhood crush. In other words -- a long-lost friend. The amazing part is you never think of finding them, but you do out of nowhere with just clicks of the mouse.  Not only can you view their profiles or what they've been up to all these years, but you can also send them a quick message or even chat with them.

If we take a closer look at the current surveys, socia media websites are highly populated now. This means that more and more people are getting connected to the internet every now and then. Whatever reasons they may have, their main goal is to have fun chatting with real life or online friends alike, and gain new ones from different parts of the world.
