noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 09:14:00 +0000

If you don't have a regional domain then you must prefer buying like, for united kingdom choose .co.uk's domain and to target audience in United Arab Emirates must prefer buying .ae domains but if you already have a domain for example .com and you want to focus on some specific region and language then proceed reading this article below.

There are some important things that you must consider when determining the international target audience for your website and language preference of your website. This will help you to reach targeted audience regionally or globally. Once you do all of these steps you would find better keywords rankings, increased impressions to your website.

All you need is to make some changes to your website code and your Google's search console account. I am going to define the steps below.

Step 1:

HTML's Language Declaration:

Declare the language used on your page in HTML Tag. To do this, go to your page's source code and check the html tag at the top. <html> and find this line lang="en-US" within tag. If not then you have to define in your code the lang attribute where set the language and region preference. for ex:
"en-US" en is the English and US is the Region

To find complete list of languages click here and regions click here.

Step 2:

Notify through Google's Search Console

Login to your google's search console account and click on Search Traffic at the right side of the page and choose International Targeting.

Now Click on Country tab and set the desired country.

Google rolled out Panda 4.0 update today. They confirmed that they have released a new algorithm update and started rolling out a ranking update from this past weekend for “spammy queries” such as payday loan, pornographic or heavily spammed queries.

According to Search Engine Land, Google’s spokesperson told:

Over the weekend we began rolling out a new algorithmic update. The update was neither Panda nor Penguin – It was the next generation of an algorithm that originally rolled out last summer for very spammy queries.

This update is an international rollout for different languages and for English queries it would be about 0.2%.

Matt Cutts, Head of Webspam team at Google announced the update back in 2013.

Link to your site will become less important: Matt Cutts

noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Sun, 18 May 2014 18:09:00 +0000

The latest from Google's webmaster help video. Links to your site will become less important to Google as they are now capable more good at understanding the natural language of users' queries.

Google changed the search engine market in the 90s by evaluating a website’s backlinks instead of just the content, like others did. Updates like Panda and Penguin show a shift in importance towards content. Will backlinks lose their importance?

Wishes for this New Year 2013 & Free SEO Services

noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:14:00 +0000

As 2012 is going to end and lots of achievements, memories would be more in new year but the time would never come back again.

Hoping that you all have a great time at this holiday season and I wish you all the best for this New Year "2013".

Many things changed in the searched engine industry and more peoples are growing up their businesses with Search Marketing Strategy but the Search engines are now more efficient to find out what have you done wrong with your websites and how the mostly unprofessional Search Engine Marketers/SEO (Search Engine Optimizers) ruined your website.

Predictions are too much in the SEO industry but I would suggest everyone to get updated with the webmaster guidelines from search engines and read it carefully. What search want is to be more relevant to your query with unique and fresh content always. So, be more responsible if you want your targeted/relevant visitor to your website.

Lets celebrate the joy of this memorable time and welcome "2013"

With lots of warm wishes I wish all of you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Do-Follow & No-Follow Links: Difference & Implementation Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 06:46:00 +0000

In Search Engine Optimization techniques when you go for a quality link-back for any of your website. You must think of these anchor link attributes. This means whether the link you are placing will be Dofollow or Nofollow?

These No-follow or Do-follow on the website tells Search Engine to follow this link or not.

Dofollow: used to allow search engine to follow the link and this would give link juice which will increase the page rank. To make it happen just use this rel=”dofollow” in anchorlink. This dofollow shows the blue/gray highlighted in color.

Nofollow: this is used to tell search engine that this link should not be followed and if you any external link on your website and you will make it “nofollow” then this would not share the link juice to that external link and the tools available will show this nofollow link in red highlighted color. To enable this ability you have to add this rel=”nofollow”

To find out about the link on any of the page that the external links or internal links placed here are nofollow or dofollow. You can simply search and install the extension, addon of Nofollow/dofollow on your browser.

Google Penguin Update 1.1

noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:43:00 +0000

Google’s Matt Cutts, the head of webspam team at Google has rolled out first update of Penguin. Penguin is a webspam algorithm which hit on April 24. The main focus of this update was to punish that website that unethically stuffed with keywords and linked with low ranked directories. This algorithm update is similar to panda update which previously made the same changes in search results.

Cutts said that this update affected less than 0.1 percent of all searches and according to the Cutts Twitter account, this thing happened at about the midnight on Saturday.

There has been something I found in discussions from the SEOs that they have faced this update last month. However, Google insists that this was the first update for penguin since April 24.

The good news is that whether you were hit the first time or this time, is that you can recover. Google will continue to make more changes to its Penguin Algorithm; there should be plenty of chances to do so. Think about the panda update last year where Google had the same goal in updating its algorithm.

Domain Age in SEO: Does it Effects on your SEO performance?

noreply@blogger.com (Arsalan Tariq) — Wed, 23 May 2012 14:45:00 +0000

Does domain age affects in your SEO performance? Do you think the site age matters in your whole SEO performance?

Currently one of my friend told me about the impact he got in rankings on google through domain age changes and we previously both have faced the same change before.

One of our client had a domain name registered for 1 year and when we started discussing the organic results performance with our client he said that, yes he will keep the domain.

Then we asked him to increase the domain age and he did it for more 5 years. Now, What is the change we see on our rankings?

We see more improved rankings the pages that were index on 8^th page or more, after a week there is a good change in position and those pages that were indexed on 8^th page or more is very near to top 10.

As per the result, I would definiltely say to my other SEO friends who are in confusion that whether this work would effect or not. The I would say, yes this happens to me and this was the second time we got the good rankings.
