    establish a reputation in some cases

SEO Basics




      © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Search Engines & Page Rank
 Search engines:
    Take static snapshot of the web & index it
    Determine authority & rank for each page
        On-page factors: structure, text, image names …
        Number of incoming links to page
        Text of each link
        Links weighted by authority of source page
    When given a query (e.g. “project management
    software”), return the pages in order it deems
    most relevant to that search term


             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Many Inputs to Relevance for Search Term!
 Number of times target term appears on page
 Where on page it appears: URL? Page title? H1 –
    H3 headers? P? List items? Emphasized text?
   Where in each element it appears: near front?
   Click-through rate of users clicking on that page
    from that term
   Time users spend on page after clicking through
    to it from that term
   How many pages with authority for that term
    link to page, and text of links

            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Search Engine Optimization
 You are writing blog posts & web pages for TWO
  readers:
    Human beings
    Search engine indexing robots (esp. Google)
 Goals:
    Enable search engines to understand page’s
     content and focus
    Get search engines to assign high relevance to
     page for target keywords
    Don’t annoy human readers in the process


             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Target Keywords & Key Phrases
 Create list of keywords / phrases you want to
 rank well for in search results. Tools:
   Google AdWords (free to use tool)
   Wordpress.com: Stats feature (free)
   Wordpress.org: Google Analytics (free)
   SEOmoz.org Keyword Tools ($99/month Pro
    membership)
 Targeting niche keywords with less competition
 may be more successful.



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Where to Use Keywords?
“On-page SEO”
 Domain name1
 Account names on twitter, YouTube
 Facebook Page name, Google+ Page
 Blog title, category names, tag names1
 Page URL (68-74 characters) 1
 Page TITLE (60 characters), especially at start2

Step-by-Step Guide to Internet Marketing,” p.8

             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Where to Use Keywords?
“On-page SEO,” continued …1
 H1 – H32
 Image file name & ALT text
 First sentence of paragraph
 Bullet items
 Strong / emphasized text (EM, STRONG)
 Text of links to your own pages (e.g. when one of
  your blog posts cross-links to another one)

Step-by-Step Guide to Internet Marketing

             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Where to Use Keywords?
“On-page SEO:”
 Wordpress.org:
   “Excerpt” (i.e. summary)
   Influences presentation to user only, not rank:
       META Description (160 chars) (used by Google in
        creating snippets only, not for page rank)
   Doubtful usefulness:
       META Keywords
         Google’s Matt Cutts: “Google doesn’t use the keywords

          meta tag in web search”



            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Avoid “Duplicate Content”
 No “Google penalty,” but:
   If same content is on two pages, they divide links,
    clicks, and “page equity.”
   Single page will rank higher in Search Engine
    Result Pages (SERPs) than two pages.




           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Avoid “Duplicate Content”
 Ideal: one content = one page = one URL
    Blog post lives at pretty permalink URL
    Blog home page, category page, tag pages show
     excerpt only (Wordpress.com “Gallery” option)
     and link to full blog post at permalink URL
    If syndicate articles, ensure each syndicated copy
     includes link back to original so Google knows




           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Put Images in Blog Posts
 Posts with images rank higher than posts
    without them
   Use stock.xchng (sxc.hu) for royalty-free images
   Use iStockPhoto, etc. for for-pay images
   Use image editor (e.g. Mac Paintbrush) to
    compress image to small JPEG so don’t increase
    page load time
   Give image SEOed file name, SEOed ALT text



            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Google Search Plus Your World
 If you’re logged in, adds content shared privately
  with you on Google+ into your SERPs
 Effects:
      Changes weighting of web SERPs by using your
       behavior & connections as signals1
      Incents content providers to build Google+ circles
       and post content to Google+ so it will show up in
       others’ results
      Means ordinary web content will be pushed down
       further below Google+ content than before

Gift Economy Basics
 Blogs, Twitter, Quora™, LinkedIn™ Answers, and
  YouTube operate primarily as gift economies
 You freely give something of value (information,
  teaching, entertainment, answers to questions,
  follows, subscriptions, retweets) and often get
  something of value in return (references in blog
  posts, tweets, retweets, mentions, #FF
  mentions, inclusion in “best of” lists,
  registrations for your product, conversions …)



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Social Media Values
Honesty          Tell the truth!
Transparency Be honest about who you are and your interests.
Engagement       Post, tweet, and retweet frequently. Respond
                 promptly to comments, tweets, direct messages.
Giving           Give more than you get: knowledge, blog posts,
                 retweets, ideas, feedback.
Respect          Always cite sources in blog posts, tweets,
                 retweets.

               © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Blog Post URL Best Practices
 All-lowercase file names
 Separate words with hyphens (-), not
  underscores (_)
 Terminate URL with a / character (not .php, .asx,
  etc.) so can switch CMS later
 Keep page name short enough that Google won’t
  split page name (last part of URL) when it
  compresses the URL for display
 Ideally, keep total URL 68-74 characters (less
  important now due to URL compression)

          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Blog Social Media Integration
 http://feedburner.google.com/
    Wraps your RSS feed in easy-to-use URL
    Have your blog’s RSS icon point at Google
     FeedBurner URL
 Use royalty-free icons for RSS Subscribe and
  twitter Follow links
 AddThis.com to provide social media Share link




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Site & Blog Promotion Tips
 Register your blog in technorati
 Cross-post blog posts to Facebook, Google+,
  LinkedIn (unless you’re tweeting links & cross-
  posting tweets automatically)
 Submit posts to Digg™, Reddit™,
  StumbleUpon™, TechCrunch™, etc.
 Comment on relevant blogs & include a link
  back to your own site (won’t affect PageRank
  because of NoFollows, but humans will click)



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Inbound Link Campaign
 Get other relevant blogs & sites to link to you
 Have them use targeted keywords in their link
  text1
    GOOD: project management solution
    BAD: click here to see a project management
      solution
 Google only looks at text of first link on a page
  to a given URL2
    BAD: click here to see a project management
      solution

Blog Mistakes to Avoid
 Never pay for a link or for inclusion in a directory
  or blog directory! Will get you banned from
  Google directory.
 Most “blog directories” (except technorati) are a
  waste of time.




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Iterative Content Creation
 Study your blog’s reporting data.
    Which blog posts get the most:
       page views?
       time on page?
       inbound links?
   Which keywords drive the most traffic to blog?
 Which posts get the most comments?
 (unscientific)




            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Iterative Content Creation
Study which blog posts or videos get the most interest, and create riffs on
the theme.

Twitter




      © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Tips
 Great tool for:
    Listening and learning from others
    Finding your audience
    Finding prospects, beta testers, evangelists
    Engaging with customers, prospects, others
    Promoting blog posts
    Posting shorter comments




           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Basics
 Use URL shorteners (goo.gl, tinyurl.com, bitly.com)
 Use search.twitter.com or topsy.com to identify hash
    tags used by your audience: #agile, #pmot,
    #prodmgmt …
   Keep tweets less than 120 characters so others can re-
    tweet easily
   Embed relevant hash tags within your tweets
   Use HootSuite™ or TweetDeck™ to schedule tweets
    in advance and follow relevant hashtags
   Follow people with similar interests & see if they
    follow you back; give them time to decide
   Tweet Tue – Thu between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Pacific
    Time to maximize chance of retweets

             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Key Twitter Rules
 No “aggressive following”
 No “mass unfollows”
 Don’t follow the same person repeatedly
 Can follow maximum of 2000 people; after that,
  can only follow 10% more people than follow you
  back
 No inappropriate (spammy) use of hashtags
 No excessive @username tweeting
 Avoid high ratio of follows to followers


          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
More Twitter Rules
 Hourly usage limits (tweets, follows, unfollows
  per hour) are enforced automatically
 Don’t hit the Twitter API too intensively (i.e.
  harder than a real human would)




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Unofficial Twitter Good Practices
 Not official rules, but:
   Only follow people likely to be interested in your
    feed!
   Don’t follow more than 125 people per day
   Give people 7 days to follow you back before
    unfollowing
   Should get at least 1 new follower for every 4
    follows if you are targeting correctly & active
   Don’t “autofollow” followers, at least at first. Pick
    and choose who you follow.


           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Unofficial Twitter Good Practices
 Don’t send automated thank-you message to new
  followers unless it’s a real call to action.
 Not official rules, but:
 Not all tweets should be blog posts
 Retweet more than you tweet
 Thank people for retweets
 Create useful lists to categorize users on twitter




            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
How to Find Potential Followers?
 Tweet & retweet great tweets!
 Follow opinion leaders, who they follow, their
  followers, and users on their relevant lists
 search.twitter.com and topsy.com:
   Who’s posting using your target hash tags?
   Who’s posting using your target keywords?
 WeFollow.com
 Tlists.com
 Listorious.com


          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Two Approaches to Getting Followers
#1: Passive
   Follow small number of tweeps (twitter users).
   Tweet well.
   Passively wait for followers.
   Advantages:
        High following:follower ratio gives automatic
         credibility.
   Disadvantages
        Takes time to build audience.

Two Approaches to Getting Followers
#2: Active
   Follow good tweeps, and tweet well, but also
    proactively follow other relevant tweeps in hope
    they will follow back.
   Advantages
       Builds following faster
   Disadvantages
       1.1:1 following:follower ratio
       Many followers with low engagement
       Small minority will protest if you later unfollow them



             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Unfollowing Users
 Once you’re following 2000 users, you can’t
  follow any more until you have 2000 followers.
 Your options:
  1. Stop following and wait for followers.
  2. Unfollow those who aren’t following you back,
     and follow some more.
 Make sure you don’t unfollow people you really
 want to follow!




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Blog Post + Tweet Sequence
 Pick blog post page name
 Create draft blog post in Wordpress
 Shorten URL
 Draft 120 character tweet, including hashtags &
  shortened URL
 Write post
 Find relevant image, retitle it, upload it, make it
  featured image for the post



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Blog Post + Tweet Sequence
 Use Wordpress to schedule post for next day @ 9
  a.m.
 Use HootSuite or TweetDeck to schedule tweet
  for next day @ 9:15




         © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Policy Questions
 Will you automatically follow new followers?
   PRO:
       Avoids time to review new followers before following.
       Avoids losing new followers when you don’t follow
        back soon enough.
   CON: Without knowing, your account will
    autofollow spammers, multi-level marketing,
    people who post in languages you can’t read,
    people with offensive beliefs …
   Alternative: autofollow, but periodically review
    and winnow your following list.

            © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Policy Questions
 Will you take time prove that you’re not a bot?
   PRO: Build following faster
   CON: Takes time to respond to TrueTwit emails,
    or must sign up & pay to become TrueTwit
    member




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Policy Questions
 Will you sign up for TrueTwit?
   PRO: Screens out bots trying to follow you
   CON:
       If free member, would-be followers must respond to
        TrueTwit email, which burdens them and reduces
        following rate.
          Better: Pay $20 to become TrueTwit paying member.

             Automatically accepts verified TrueTwit members as

              followers.
             Enables you to turn off challenge email.

             Optionally, automatically follows verified followers.




             © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Mistakes
 Using FourSquare™ in “post my location by
  default” mode. (Do followers care?)
 Using single Twitter account for personal and
  professional purposes. If I want to hear about
  your cat or child or political beliefs, I’ll follow
  your personal account!




           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Mistakes to Avoid
 “HootSuite
  disasters” – posting
  a tweet to the
  wrong account by
  mistake
 HootSuite now has
  professional mode
  to prevent

 Retweets / tweet
 Replies / tweet
 Favorites / tweet
 Clickthroughs / tweet




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Twitter Derived Metrics

      20% is tweet or retweet 2

                     © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.

  clickthroughs on URLs in campaigns

  memory and audio input port
 $630 Sennheiser wireless microphone / receiver
  set

  lighting kit (two lights, plus hard carrying case)

  Teleprompter (or newer iPad/iPhone-based
  solutions)


          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Filming Low-Cost Video: Equipment
 $162 Libec™ T68 75mm 2-Stage Aluminum
  Tripod
 Macintosh™ computer or PC
 Adobe™ Premiere (Express or Pro) for editing




         © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Notes on Guerilla Video
 Good lighting critical for people to look good.
 Use at least 2-point lighting
 Fill background with light to prevent shadows
  behind speaker
 Try reflecting fill lighting off ceiling or wall
 Avoid reflective objects in background (picture
  frames, mirrors)
 Trace frame of camera with eye to find anything
  that intrudes on camera frame


          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Notes on Guerilla Audio
 Good audio is MUCH harder than good video!
 Film in room with closed door.
 Put sign on door to prevent interruptions.
 Use lavaliere microphone!
   Use wireless connection if possible.
 Make sure microphone turned on & battery
  charged!
 Do test take, play back, and listen for problems.



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Notes on Filming Video
 Won’t look like Francis Ford Coppola filmed it.
   Doesn’t have to; costs much less!!
 Don’t want to film and edit yourself? Use a
 service provider, e.g. in Bay Area:
   GekkoVideo.com
   LectureMaker.com
   TimKentVideo.com




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Notes on Making Video
 Unless your name is Steven Spielberg, you can’t
 reliably predict what will be successful.
   Read: Black Swan by Nicholas Nassim Taleb
 Be Agile. Film and publish many videos cheaply,
 see what draws interest, and iterate!
   Example: Old Spice™ viral video campaign filmed
    100 clips in one day and published them all.




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Video SEO Research
 Go to YouTube.com
 Make sure you’re logged out!
 Search for each target keyword
 Study # of results and which videos / playlists
  make the top 10 (or 20)
 Study highly-ranked videos and their view
  counts, titles, descriptions, tag lists, and number
  of comments



          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Video Search Engine Optimization
 What to SEO?
   YouTube account name
   Video title (50 characters to display without
    break)
   Video description (make long and detailed, and
    include links to your site!)
   Video tag list (up to 500 characters total)
   Script for video (upload transcript; for English,
    YouTube will automatically synchronize)
   Playlist title, description, tag list


           © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Video Search Engine Optimization
 What to SEO? (continued)
   YouTube profile and channel description

          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Facebook




     © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Facebook Pages
 Many corporate sites have few “Likes” and are
  fairly useless
 Reserve Facebook Page with your name early
 Consider making it live later on when you have
  enough genuine interest and users
 Have a strategy for your Facebook Page, not just
  a page for the sake of having a page




          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Google+
 New kid on the block in social networking
 Growing rapidly
 Google badly wants to succeed
 “Circles” give better way to organize who you
  follow
 You don’t know who follows you back
 Google+ shared content will now show up in
  your connections’ Google search results when
  they are logged in to Google


          © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Google+ Resources
 http://heidicohen.com/google-plus-resources/




         © 2011-2012 Eric Krock Marketing Services Inc. All rights reserved.
Google+ Pages
 Very similar to Google+ Profiles1 and Facebook
  Pages
 No connection to Google Places2
 To create, must have Google+ account, log in,
  and click “Create a Page” 2
 Can act as yourself or as a Page (similar to
  Facebook) 2

Evaluating Your Work
 Score your social media marketing work with
  websitegrader.com from HubSpot™
 Check your Klout, PeerIndex, and TeraMetric
  scores for fun, but don’t take them too seriously
  yet.
