2013-12-06T03:56:00.000-05:00

Do you believe SEO is dead?

Check out what SEO Gurus have to say on this,

"I've said it before, but SEO is in many ways about change. The Best SEOs recognize, adapt, and even flourish when changes happen." - Matt Cutts

"I'll be honest - I don't think SEO will die." - Rand Fishkin (SEO Moz)

Even I believe that SEO will never die, it will be updated. In every field, change and update is the future, so you have to be updated in SEO if you want to grow.

Which Social media to adopt for your business?

2012-06-20T09:14:00.000-04:00

Social media optimization (SMO) is a term many businesses are not familiar with. While one school of thought feels that social media is not understood properly by them, there is also a little-known factoid that for some businesses, social media could reap in rich benefits, particularly if search engine marketing (SEM) and SMO are harnessed effectively.

However, with the high number of social media on the horizon today, which one do you choose from, for your business?

There are a number of social media tools you can choose from, such as networking sites or blogs and microblogs. Each one has its own pros and cons. You can begin with analyzing your own requirements. Typical requirements include:

Communication with clients
Relevant customer engagement
Resolving issues, if any, in a timely and satisfactory manner

Using Facebook

By far, Facebook is one of the most popular platforms for communication. Its applications allow for engagement and interaction – two of the most-needed qualities in any media platform. Facebook is also a good medium for publicity through SMO, since it provides an excellent forum for contextual advertising.

Irrespective of the nature of your services – whether you are a B2B provider, or a B2C provider, the significance of thorough communication can never be overemphasized. With Facebook, you can engage in meaningful customer dialogues, where your customer communicates with you clearly and openly about his or her expectations. It is an effective platform for meaningful engagement and, eventually, effective SEM.

Using Networking Sites

LinkedIn is an example of a networking site, and works very well as a networking and public relations (PR) tool. Because LinkedIn is limited in the sense that it does not allow for conversations and dialogues, it acts ideally as a tool for broadcasting while still inviting opinion.

Your clients may also utilize LinkedIn for referrals. Conversely, if you describe your service offerings on your LinkedIn page there is a likelihood that your clients' contacts will also look up your work, thus becoming your potential clients. Investing some time in research and contextual advertising can help boost your marketing and social media optimization efforts and as well.

Using a Microblog

Twitter is a good example of a microblog. However, as with the microblog structure, the most you can do with Twitter is make a mention, and going ahead, build a story out of the mentions. However, if your customers are not comfortable using the medium, the platform for communication gets limited severely. However, for someone interested in furthering business interests, Twitter can also become part of your SEM strategies.

But an effectively worded text can help draw attention to your problem. This quality has been used by customers to voice their complaints or unhappiness with a particular service or company. Keeping this in mind then, you can choose to use your Twitter account as a forum to talk with your clients and tap into their grievances as well.

Google Penguin Updates: Effects and Solutions

2012-05-15T10:34:00.000-04:00

Google, on a periodic basis, updates and enhances their search algorithm to improve the quality of search results. The focus is to have genuinely optimized and relevant quality sites among the top results for the keywords. Google recently announced a new update that would affect website rankings, termed as 'Google Penguin Update'.

The focal point of the Penguin update is the link structure of the website. It examines links which refer to your website on a wide variety of parameters like quality of backlink, anchor text, backlink type, website weightage, etc. So now Site Optimizers have to take due diligence in picking externals links referring to your website. Henceforth, SEO service providers and consultants' efforts of optimizing websites via linking will not be limited to just quantity of links, but also quality of links.

For all those Internet Marketing professionals and Web Marketers who have spent considerable amount of time working with their SEO service providers and consultants building page ranks and achieved the objective of having listed their website among top search results, the questions bugging them most would be about what repercussions the Google Penguin update would have on their site rankings and how to counter them.

If currently the links to your website are from low quality or spammy websites, your site page ranks and search rankings are going to take a major hit from this update. While creating links in the near future, site optimizers will have to double check the quality of the website before submitting your link to the webmasters of the website. Refrain from creating backlinks from websites that look spammy or have bad page ranks.

Most of the SEO service providers and consultants use the same anchor text and same link in order to achieve better ranking. But post- Google Penguin update, the same would be considered as Spam. In order to avoid being tagged as spam, site optimizers will have to use different anchor text as well as different links while getting backlinks.

The sites that would take the major hit would be sites using keyword stuffing or creating keyword clouds as such sites are a prime target for Google Penguin update. The simplest and the best way to avoid it is by using keywords related to your page and maintaining the keyword density ratio in the page content. You can research for keywords related to your page using Google Adword Keyword Tool.

Bottom line, to ensure the consistency of your search ranking your SEO service provider or consultant will have to continuously analyze the rankings on keywords as well as traffic to measure the success of optimization.

When to use Local Search Engine Optimization Technique?

2011-10-17T08:01:00.000-04:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is utilized to drive more customers to your business website. However, if you are managing a small or a medium-sized business located within a particular region, it would make immense sense to use local SEO for your needs. Local Search Engine Optimization is very useful for businesses looking at driving local traffic to their website.

Local SEO scores over generalized SEO services, particularly for small or mid-sized businesses that are heavily dependent on local customers. This is because a small business has fewer resources, and these can be channelized better by using local SEO efforts; generalized SEO would spread precious resources too thinly, rendering them less effective.

There are two situations where you would like to utilize local SEO for improving your service offering:

When you have an audience that is limited in terms of geographic location
When you want a cost effective solution

Multiple Benefits

As with generalized SEO services, your keyword choice needs to be kept in mind as well. Effective keywords paired with specifics such as city or locality name, helps your local SEO efforts immensely:

Faster and better online search rankings
Better imprints on the customers' minds
High returns on SEO investment

When you choose to implement local SEO, you get more value for money than you would by investing in generalized SEO services. Local SEO is extremely useful in businesses such as restaurants or a specialty store, or for accessing services available only at select locations within a city or state. If your business caters to customers within a particular region, it would make more sense to have a higher regional presence. This helps you reap more benefits in terms of increased customer base for the amount of money you invest in executing SEO services.

How to Make Google Panda Proof Website?

2011-07-21T01:55:00.003-04:00

Google Panda is a new "webpage Quality Checking Parameter" in the Google's Algorithm. Google facilitates the algorithm to assign place to webpage in search engine result pages (SERP). Google Panda focuses on the quality of the website as better the quality higher the chances to rank up. Original and unique content on the webpage is the main base for checking the quality of website. The first version of Google Panda, known as 'Farmer', was rolled out in February. In April, version 2.0 of panda was launched. With some modification in algorithm they rolled out panda version 2.1 in May. The last one was in June, Panda 2.2.

Why Google Implemented this?
The main purpose of the implementing such kind of update is to offer better quality result to Google users. As mention in the February Post of Google Blog "This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites - sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

In general perspective, webpage having too much advertising, copied content, is less trust worthy and is removed from large group of users search result.

What are the after effects of Google Panda?
A bunch of online marketing experts find their site has been affected by panda. They have noticed an average 40% drop in Google search traffic. Their research also inferred that the webpage placement has been changed in SERP and now ranking after second page. There are various cases reported to Google about having original content ranked on second page. This is the reason behind new version of panda coming into the picture.

How you can develop Google Panda Proof Website?
It is not only quality content but many other factors are also to be considered while developing Google Panda proof website:

Streaming the content and ads in proper proportion can resolve the problem. Experts recommend 60% for content and 40% for ads.
Your contents should not be copied from other website. If it is, you can change or tweak the content and title for originality. Giving credit to the original source can help you developing a genuine site..
Irrelevant insertion of keywords in content with an intention to increase the keyword density may bring the site under the scrutiny of Google Panda.
There is a possibility that Google user click on "delete results" because of its quality. So, make your website rich in information and avoid looking like spammed websites.
You must replace the absurd content by meaningful and well structured sentences with correct English. It can help you to improve on ranking.
If you are selling something by accepting credit card, you must have secure server. Such kind of efforts can make your webpage more trustworthy and reliable.
The reports, analysis and thesis can improve the quality of webpage.
Your content must be supported by helpful specifications about the topic.

Though, there is no official manual or document for Google panda, the above mention points can help you to get out of panda effect and building panda proof website.

I am waiting for your experience about making Google Panda Proof Website. What is your opinion about the updates?

Black Hat Technique – An Illegal Gateway to SEO Success

2011-06-23T07:29:00.004-04:00

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the most popular web marketing technique to register your online presence, is getting more and more acceptance and boom with the accelerating quantum of websites being launched each day. So is the mushrooming of SEO services offered by various SEO companies making it difficult to choose the right SEO service provider to hire to improve ranking of your website!

Let's have a better insight of the techniques facilitated for optimization purpose. These include - Black Hat and White Hat. These days people are falling prey to Black hat technique which is categorized as 'illegal' by the search engines but due to its instant results, it has been opted for by several companies ultimately landing them in trouble. How it works and what are the consequences? Have a look!

How Black Hat Techniques Work

There are certain guidelines to be followed for optimization of the websites as directed by major search engines. Black hat technique is one of the growing techniques, claiming fast optimization but not without fast adverse impacts on your site. Black Hat SEO methods include a commonly used practice called clocking which involves creating separate web content for search engine and separate for site visitors, excessive usage of keywords in the content, facilitating popular but non-relevant keywords in the texts.

Results of Adopting Back Hat Technique

All these maneuvers of Black Hat technique can result in sudden increase in your SEO ranking but it will also ban your website or you may also get penalized for the same by the major search engines. Banning of website or penalization for facilitating wrong techniques will lead to drop in SEO ranking and consequently losing business.

To avoid any such disaster of getting banned and penalized, hire only eminent SEO service provider which has the track record of relying on white hat techniques as a part of their SEO services. Don't forget the greater the temptation of improved ranking through black hat technique sounds the results of employing unscrupulous techniques are even stronger.

So, next time when you hire an SEO service provider, don't get impatient in catapulting your website ranking overnight. Allow the SEO service provider to adopt fair means of improving your SEO ranking because the probability of sustaining the ranking will be higher, if right SEO services are entailed.

What SEO Companies Do and What to Know About Good SEO Company

2011-02-15T09:07:00.003-05:00

SEO companies analyze your websites and report suggested alterations that should be incorporated in order to make a website more search engine friendly.

Its functionalities include in-depth SEO website evaluation of website HTML code, encompassing META tags and Alt image tags, in addition to SEO analysis of website design, keyword text weight, download time and other allied SEO features. Website inspectors then generate a detailed SEO report including manually developed META tags, alt tags and recommend other website alterations.

There are myriads of SEO companies out there. Most SEO companies only analyze and report on basic website HTML code and restricted website design features. By contrast, some leading SEO service providers offer detailed analysis and SEO reports of HTML code and all perspectives of website design from textual pertinence to aesthetic craft. Professional onternet marketing service provider will offer an intensive SEO report including workable changes that should be made to a website in order to improve search engine rankings for the long-term. General SEO companies will, however, only emphasis on what is wrong with a website without providing good suggestions to improve search engine rankings.

Most of SEO companies will analyze a website facilitating automated, report generating software and forward their client a copy of a generic SEO report. On the other hand a good internet marketing service provider will abstain from facilitating any automated software to evaluate a website or to gather an SEO report.

Generating user-friendly SEO reports and 'white hat' SEO practices are the pillars of good SEO Company. All good SEO companies will refrain from considering the out-dated practice of automated website submissions. Professional SEO service provider will advocate only the ethical use of manual website submissions to diverse sources.

Another vital aspect is that good SEO companies will be flexible in remodeling their services to address their client's needs. Good SEO companies now offer on-page SEO website designs and SEO implementations with an intention to save clients a lot of time and effort. SEO companies are witnessing an astronomical rise in clients opting for onsite SEO web design as they are aware that all onsite SEO web design implementations are conducted by professionals who are accustomed with effective and ethical SEO practices.

Keeping all these components in mind, if you are seeking good SEO Company in order to improve website rankings, look for all the above said qualities before zeroing in on a specific internet marketing service provider.

Looking for SEO services? Ensure that your package includes optimization for Bing

2010-09-08T08:08:00.001-04:00

Getting the maximum number of visitors on your website is the main objective of SEO services. Hiring an expert for your search engine optimization ensures that your website becomes visible to online users for your preferred keywords; that is the success of your SEO services. However, the immense popularity of Google as a search engine has made a lot of SEO companies ignore the importance of Bing, which can be a huge crowd puller. Bing has created its own niche as far as search engines are concerned. It has its own users, who are significant in numbers, which cannot be ignored by any business organization. Your SEO services package should hence include planning for Bing as well. Some important factors your SEO company should consider for Bing are:

As with other search engines, content is very important with Bing as well. Experts familiar with SEO services suggest keeping content quantity high - your web pages should have at least 300 words or more, if you want to optimize your website for Bing. Google requires a bit less than this, but you would do well to keep the content long, so that Bing likes and crawls your content as well. If you do not have the time to take care of content, your SEO company might also provide content writing services, which you can avail.

Like Google, Bing also likes it if your website has linking with other sites in the same industry. Your SEO services package will by default include link building services, which will serve you well for Bing optimization. Hence, you should include link building in your SEO services if you are focusing on Bing.

An older website domain is usually preferred by Bing’s crawlers. Even before you think of hiring SEO services, your website domain should be several years old. You have the option of buying an older domain or maintaining multiple ones in order to maintain website visitors. If required, your SEO company can help in marketing your relatively younger domain aggressively to offset any disadvantages through off-page and on-page SEO activities.

Ensure through your SEO service provider that the MSNBot is able to crawl your website. It may happen that certain web crawlers may be prohibited from crawling certain websites. Ask your SEO company to make sure that Bing's crawlers are not in the prohibited crawlers list.

Happy Labor Day

2010-09-03T05:17:00.000-04:00

Analytix wishes you a HAPPY LABOR holiday! Here we salute the silent heroes 'the American workers' whose contributions have made us one of the greatest nations on this planet. We admire and celebrate the economic and social achievement of all our workers.

Wondering if your business needs a SEO company? Some pointers which will help you out

2010-08-12T08:30:00.000-04:00

The importance of a SEO company has increased many folds during the past few years due to the increasing number of people buying products and services online. In such a situation, the importance of online marketing and hiring a SEO company to improve search rankings has become of utmost importance if you want to effectively develop your business. If you have a product or service which you sell online or want to promote it online, you must be wondering if a SEO firm is worth investing in. Trust us, it is worth it. Why, you ask? Here are some reasons why hiring SEO services for your business is a good step:

Return on Investment

If your business targets online users, SEO services will give you the quickest return on investment. A SEO company has various methods and knows the techniques to improve rankings in search results. Getting your website in top rankings on search engines will grab the attention of a niche crowd which is already looking for your product or service. Conversion of this crowd into your clients will hence be a quicker process. A professional SEO company hence ensures that you get the best ROI on your investment in SEO services and make a success of your online marketing campaign.

Experience

You don't cut your own hair, do you? You hire a barber, whose specialization it is to cut hair. In a similar manner, it is advisable to hire an experienced SEO company to optimize your website rather than trying to swing it alone. True, it will be more expensive than doing it yourself, as you will have to buy a package from the SEO firm; however, you also need to consider the difference in the end results. A SEO company is an expert and has years of experience in providing SEO services to businesses. It will know exactly what to do to increase business through online traffic.

More Time on Your Hand

Search engine optimization is a time consuming task. If you don't hire a SEO company and take it upon yourself, you may end up spending hours on SEO rather than focusing on your business activities. Handing over search engine optimization to a SEO company balances the scale by giving you time to focus on revenue-generating activities. Moreover, you can rest assured that a professional SEO service provider is taking care of your website and using tried and tested promotional methods to promote your business online.

4 Reasons Why an Experienced SEO Company Doesn’t Guarantee No. 1 Ranking

2010-07-23T03:18:00.003-04:00

The millions of people researching online for products and services has lead to a very high interest in online marketing efforts, which includes SEO services to a large extent. If you have a business which targets online users, you must have thought of hiring a SEO company which can boost your rankings online so you can get targeted visitors and increase your business potential. However, with the popularity of SEO services increasing by the day, the number of companies and the competition amongst them has increased tremendously. Due to this, some inexperienced SEO firms are making tall claims of guaranteed no. 1 rankings to its clients. However, the reality is that no SEO company can guarantee search rankings. The following are some reasons you should stay away from SEO service providers who promise high search rankings:

Experts and search engines warn against guarantees

Most SEO experts you consult will advise you that there is no such thing as a search ranking guarantee. If any SEO company makes such a claim while offering SEO services to you, think again before hiring it. Even leading search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing assure users that guaranteeing no. 1 position on their search engines is not possible, no matter how experienced the SEO company in question is. An inexperienced SEO firm might tempt you to hire them by guaranteeing you no. 1 rankings for certain keywords. These keywords will, in all possibility, be non-competitive ones, which will climb in rankings fast but wouldn’t bring in relevant traffic. You need a SEO company which can focus on your main keywords, improve your website rankings from its current position and bring in relevant inquiries.

Organic rankings cannot be controlled

The algorithms of search engines are constantly changing and have no fixed pattern. The order of results is changing from minute to minute, so there is no way any SEO company can predict organic search rankings. Experienced SEO service providers hence focus on making the website accessible and visible online so that it attracts the target audience.

A SEO guarantee is unethical

The most a SEO company can do is give a guarantee for the quality of services it provides. It can also analyze your existing website and make predictions of how much web traffic it can bring in through its SEO services. But SEO companies which guarantee search rankings somehow over-step the ethical boundaries of search engine optimization. Such unprofessional SEO firms will not be averse to using unethical SEO techniques, known as Black Hat techniques to boost rankings fast. Such activities may harm your website more than benefiting it. Avoid such firms and choose a search engine optimization professional after research and inquiries, so that you ensure that your SEO campaign will give your business the best results possible.

A high search ranking doesn’t reflect overall performance

Before starting your SEO campaign, you need to determine the true reason you are hiring SEO services. Your ultimate aim should be to get relevant web traffic to your business website. Some business owners get so obsessed with getting high rankings that they encourage their SEO company to get a quick solution, forgetting that it might be harmful in the long run. The real performance of your SEO campaign will be gauged only through how much traffic it has managed to get for you that is truly relevant to your business.

A successful SEO campaign will be the result of a slow and steady pathway, planned by an experienced SEO company. Anyone offering ‘instant results’ or guaranteeing ‘no. 1 position on major search engines’ should be treated with suspicion.

Search engine optimization from an experienced SEO firm can help your business immensely, especially if your product or service can cater to the requirements of the online community. Making your website more popular online ensures that you reach your target audience online and increase your business potential. However, before you go ahead and hire a SEO firm, you need to be clear about the business goals you want to achieve through SEO services. Some common business objectives to keep in mind are:

One of the main objectives you should be looking to fulfill through SEO services is to bring in relevant traffic to your website. The more popular your website will be online, the more web traffic you will get. This will improve the chances of getting new clients and increase business. Your SEO firm needs to optimize your website so that it climbs search rankings and people can find it easily. That way, you will reach out to potential clients who are actually searching for your products or services online.

Your second business objective to achieve through SEO services should be to create a brand online. By utilizing various search engine optimization techniques, you can not only improve rankings, you can also create a brand for your products or services. Your SEO firm can actively participate in blogs, forums and networking sites on your behalf so that there is some interaction on your behalf with online users. Over a period of time, this will help in spreading awareness about the quality of your products or services, through which you will ultimately be able to create a brand name for yourself. Your SEO service provider will be able to guide you as to how to use new online promotion methods, which will be more effective than traditional advertising.

You should also be able to directly market to your target audience by optimizing your website. The website becomes one of your main marketing tools when it attains top rankings for your targeted keywords in search engines. You should have a meeting with your SEO firm and discuss the direct marketing goals you want to achieve through online promotions. A successful search engine optimization campaign will allow you to augment your marketing campaign as well.

When you are clear about the goals you want to achieve through your SEO services, it will become much easier to etch out a pathway to achieve those goals. You can also involve your SEO firm to determine your SEO goals for your business.

Are you a medical practitioner who has a website but don’t get patients from it? If so, you are under-utilizing one of the most powerful mediums to reach patients today. Having a website but not using it to market your services is a serious overlook on your part, which can be remedied through professional SEO services. Your targeted patients are increasingly using the internet to look for medical services. In such a situation, if you do not have a professional SEO company optimizing your website, you will lose out to other medical practitioners in your area who have a powerful online presence. Whereas SEO services are not guaranteed to bring in patient inquiries, they will popularize your website by making it easily searchable through popular search engines like Google and Bing.

If you are looking to expand your practice base, you should use search engine optimization as an indirect tool to reach out to your target audience. The convenience of using search engines to find medical practitioners in the nearest vicinity has made thousands of people turn to the internet. As a result, online services like Google Local are increasingly being used to search for local services including medical ones. Many net-savvy medical practitioners, whether dentists or general practitioners, have recognized this trend and are using SEO services to make their services findable easily on the internet.

Say you are a dentist in Philadelphia, you may wish to be amongst the first few who are found on the search engines if someone searches for 'Philadelphia dentist' or 'dentist in Philadelphia'. An experienced SEO company can help you achieve this by optimizing your website with such keywords. If you don't use SEO services, you will lose out to another dentist in the same area who has optimized his/her website. Some doctors with established practices who don't need additional patients hire an SEO consultant to uphold a good reputation online. The online medium gives them a good opportunity to maintain contact with existing patients or give expert opinions in forums, which in turn establishes them as a subject expert.

You may not have the time to take up the intricate details related to search engine optimization yourself. You can take the help of a good SEO company which specializes in providing SEO services to medical practices. You can discuss your SEO goals with the SEO consultant in question to ensure that he/she starts off on the right track. A professional company providing SEO services will also be able to provide you additional services as part of the package like article writing, blog posting and other on and off page optimization services. All of this goes a long way in improving you online visibility. Handing over your website to a professional SEO company will enable you to focus on your practice and increase your online presence at the same time.

You need to utilize the strong medium that internet provides you with to reach out to your patients and expand your base. Even if you do not need additional patients, SEO services will ensure that your online reputation is upheld for the subject expert that you are. A reputed SEO company will enable you to achieve all this and more.
