How to Choose an SEO Company PDF Print E-mail
The SEO industry is largely unregulated, which makes for a mixed bag of the services you may receive for your money. Many companies and firms promise page one listings with timescales that in my experience are unattainable by honest means. Many of these firms just set up PPC campaigns, which would be fine if they were up front about this but many of our customers have reported that these companies are not honest about the methods they use.

Does Google treat all links equally? PDF Print E-mail
This is a question many think about when they deal with SEO. Does Google treat all links equally? . I will say a big NO.

There are different types of links, search engine algorithm evaluates and ranks. Here they go,

Internal links and External links - Both links are treated differently. If the External links are bad neighborhood sites then there are chances for your site to be dropped in search engine listing. Internal links spreads link juice according to the number of times the pages are interlinked.

Relevant links and irrelevant links - If your website link to irrelevant theme site then there are possibilities for your site to rank low.

Paid links or purchased links - Google and few search engines do not encourage Paid links that helps to pass link juice and this is considered as violation of Google's webmaster guidelines. As well all Paid links are not considered as violation. There are few solutions like adding no follow attribute to the link and by redirecting the link to a page that has been blocked by robots.txt.

Anchor text HTML Links - Within the site the HTML links with Anchor text has the most value and passes good amount of link juice.

Image Links - within the site Image links with most suitable and relevant ALT attribute gets the second level value and link juice.

JavaScript Links - As per the latest update Google started crawling these links but gets the third level value and link juice.

At this point, as far as links are concerned it plays vital role in both on-page and off-page optimization. So start planning before you go with the types of links.

Use Google AdWords' keyword tool to enhance your site's content PDF Print E-mail
Using a tool like Google AdWords (adwordslanding/) can be overwhelming at the outset; there are so many functions and applications for the program that it’s easy to become lost and give up without harnessing its full potential. However, AdWords (adwordslanding/) can be a valuable resource in making your website a top competitor for the traffic that exists online. Even better, AdWords (http://adwords.google.com.au) can help you get the right traffic, meaning more revenue for you. The keyword tool is just one means of improving your keyword strategy and bringing more high-quality visitors to your site. When an advertiser is setting out to get online customers, he will write ads using short sentences enhanced with the appropriate keywords. Then he chooses keywords that will “trigger” those ads to come up on pages that result in those keywords’ searches. Therefore, when a user searches for something, say “nutrition supplements,” and that user is directed to a page by the search engine, that page will be accompanied by the ads that correspond with that same keyphrase. The advertiser also bids for the ad, specifying how much he will pay for each click the ad receives. With your AdWords account, you can use the keyword tool to input a keyword, and the program will give you statistics on the amount of competition for that keyword, the average cost per click (CPC) for ads with that keyword, and the keyword’s search volume. This information will allow you to a variety of things. For one, you can replace keywords in your site’s content with higher-competition keywords that will get you better ads on your pages, which will result in more revenue for you. Or you can find keywords in your content that have a low search volume...

Is your content backing up your SEO strategy? PDF Print E-mail
Imagine you’re in a bookstore, and you see a huge stack of copies of the same book sitting on a table. The book has a captivating title, beautiful cover art, and looks like precisely the thing you’ve been searching for; it would make for the perfect diversion for your upcoming vacation.SEO (http://www.roi.com.au) mean for my business? When you are putting together your SEO strategy, consider putting in the time and effort to write interesting body copy that will keep your visitors around for long enough to do whatever it is you're trying to get them to do, whether it’s buy something, sign up for something, or read something. There is absolutely no use in researching the best keywords and paying for the best marketing, only to have visitors to your site put off in two seconds or less by terrible content. The key to a well-balanced SEO strategy is one that incorporated keywords—at a sane percentage, mind you, not one that gets your site blacklisted as spam by the spiders—into content that is readable, informative, and relevant to your website. Ideally, this content would also be updated daily, giving the spiders a lot of new subject matter to crawl during search engine updates. So the question is, How important is content for SEO? And the answer? Very. SEO involves a complicated combination of many factors, and one of those is whether or not visitors to your site actually stay around once they find you. If your content is so atrocious that it’s driving people away, your SEO is not performing as well as it could be. Adjust your content to reflect the level of quality you want your visitors to see when they come to your site, and your marketing expenses...

How Google Sitelinks are Created and Managed? PDF Print E-mail
Google site links helps users with more idea on what the site or blog is about and they are generated automatically for better user experience.

Here an example for sitelinks. Search Google for "SEO Help Blog" keyword and we can see sitelinks listing. This helps users to get an idea on what the Blog is about and the users can click directly to the page they need without navigating to find the most useful topic. Added, only the best site or blog gets sitelinks and they provide a better visibility to search users about the importance. For sitelinks screenshot, see below,

As well, if the Blog or webpage author is much popular then you can see sitelinks for the author name search "Jagadeesh M", as seen in screenshot below,

We don't know exactly how Google algorithm works, including sitelinks and they the factors are internal to avoid users from manipulating search results. But still out of several examines and experiences we can understand how it works. Here is a list that can give you an idea on how it works.

  • The Blog or Site that mostly lists first for a specific keyword(s) creates Sitelinks.
  • Search engine friendly structured navigation.
  • Reasonable organic search traffic.
  • Good Blog or site visit from search results.
  • Site or blog age and frequent content update.
  • Good amount of useful internal links / outbound links.
  • Inlinks from quality sites or blogs.

This list may be a small part that helps creates sitelinks but these are important that works all time.

By now as you know Google do not provide option to add sitelinks since it is generated automatically but Google provides site or blog owners and webmaster to remove / block sitelinks which they feel not needed. Google Webmaster tools can manage links in Google sitelinks. Hope you know about Google Webmaster tools and you might have configured you site or blog with it. In Google Webmaster tools we have an option "sitelinks" in "site configuration" navigation that can be found in left hand side of the dashboard.

Expect now you got an idea how sitelinks works and if you don't have one to your site or blog, start working on it and if you find your existing sitelinks are to be managed, then work on Google webmaster tools sitelinks option.
