Strategy
and Process
1. Auditing your current performance

2. Strategic selection of keyphrases

3. Build Content around keyphrases on webpages
– Utilise correct ‘keyword density’
– Check/correct internal linking

4.Optimise metadata for the keyphrases

5. Implementing the changes
– Phase the approach to new pages

6.Build Backlinks to your site

7. Monitor, Measure and Modify

The Spidering Process


Are you in the Google index?
Site:www.yourdomain.com

 Use the ‘Site’ command
with your domain name
at the Google search box

For Example:
 Site:www.businesslinkke
nt.com

 497 web pages in the
index


HTML Sitemap


Register with
Google Webmaster Central (GWC)


Getting the right domain
and hosting

 UK company
 Targeting the UK
 In UK English
 Weak on inbound links
 .com domain
 But - Google thinks it’s NORWEGIAN
– Because that’s where it’s hosted…….


International traffic Issues

 Search engines will use the top level
domain (TLD) to assess where you want
traffic from (eg - .co.uk, .de, .it etc)

 If you have a .com (or .net, .info etc) they
will use your hosting location to determine
this

 Use Google Webmaster central to override
this and tell Google where you want traffic
from


Strategy and Process
 The right keywords or
keyphrases are the
starting point for our
strategy
50%

 Traffic from a variety 40%

30%
of uncommon phrases? 30%
22%
24%
– Eg ‘marketing training 20% 15%
courses Manchester’ 9% 9%
10%

 One big win on a major 0%

1 word 2 3 4 5 6
phrase? words words words words words

– Eg ‘Training courses’
– ‘personal loans’


Keyphrase Selection

It’s a two stage process…

 1. Developing the Initial List

 2. Refining and shortlisting your choices

See
http://janaklin.blogspot.com/2005/06/lesson-3finding-keyphrases-to


Developing the Initial List

- Brainstorm with your self and others you work with
- Look at what competitors use (‘view’; ‘source’ then see the meta data and
visible text)

- Any brand names or generic product types which are relevant

- Study your web stats for keyphrases which have driven people to your site

- Take you mates down the pub and ask them what they would type in to find you

- Use web based tools eg Google Keyword Tool:-

- You could even ask your customers and suppliers

Keyphrase Analysis

 Or…run a pay per
click campaign!
– 3 months

 This way you’ll find
out what really works
– What converts to
sales or enquiries


What are the main factors to consider when
selecting and prioritising keyphrases?
 Search Volume – the number of monthly searches
– The bigger the better?

 Business Relevance – how important is this term to my
business

 Keyphrase relevance – what is the searcher looking for
when using this phrase
– Single word phrases are not good as its difficult to know the
searchers intent
– Phrases can have different meanings ‘eg ‘cold treatment’
– Mix ‘long tail’ and ‘head phrases’

 Competition – how much competition is there for this
phrase


What do you do if there’s no direct
translation?

 “City breaks” has no direct
equivalent in:
– French
– German
– Dutch
– Spanish
– Italian


Major Ranking Factors

 On Page Factors (‘Entry Ticket’)
– Metadata – title, keyword, description, H1
– Visible (readable) html content
– Internal links

 Off Page Factors (‘Competitive Differentiators’)
– Inbound link infrastructure
– Directories, blogs, pr sites, etc, etc..
– Domain trust – age, age of links

 Behavioural (less important generally , BUT will
become more important)
– Number of visits, length of stay, social media activity…


Textual content is King
 There is no substitute for good
‘keyword rich’ content

– At least 200-250 words

– Content semantically related
to keywords (LSI)
 Eg, valentine, love, hearts,
romance
 Focus on natural writing of
copy

 Add new relevant content as
often as you can
– Use pdf’s, word documents
– New pages with related
content – eg history,
background, instructions


The Keyword Density
Issue for Visible Text
 What do you think of this bit of
copywriting!

 Our Yellow widgets are the best in the
UK and if you buy our yellow widgets
you will be sure you have bought the
best yellow widgets you can buy and
absolutely envied by the rest of the
yellow widget buying community both
here in the UK and the rest of the
yellow widget buying community
throughout the world. Yes, you really
need to buy our award winning yellow
widgets. Click here to buy yellow
widgets
 1%-3% is ideal (keep below 10%)
 Check you density with:

Google’s ‘Panda’ Update –
Emphasis on Quality Content

-Sites with copied content are
getting penalised

-Emphasis needs to be on original
and interesting content

-Copy writing needs to be a
priority activity of SEO

-’Duplicate content’ is a definite
no – no

-Also ‘fresh’ content favoured
(latest update)

Capturing content below the scroll

Even Busy Ecommerce sites!


In summary
 Write (good quality) text as naturally as possible
 Check afterwards that the target phrase(s) is
included the right number of times
– 3 repetitions per 100 words is generally enough.
– Punctuation not important
 The phrases can be included in:-
– The main text
– Header tags (h1, h2 etc)
– In in-text links
– In navigation links
– In footnotes
– In ‘alt’ tags

Strategy
and Process

1. Auditing your current performance

2. Strategic selection of keyphrases

3. Build Content around keyphrases on webpages

4.Optimise metadata for the keyphrases
 Title tag, description tag, keyword tag,
 H1 Tag (see lloyd and Asg)

5. Implementing the changes
– Phase the approach to new pages

6.Build Backlinks to your site

7. Monitor, Measure and Modify

Internal Links


Meta Tags – The Title tag


Different Pages Optimised for Different
Keyphrases


IMPORTANCE OF TITLES

Eye Tracking Study
 2/3 of the time users initially
looked at a listing for 7/100 of a
second
 Predominately looked at titles
 Across all Yahoo! searches,
participants focused on the titles
first and foremost, with fewer
reading the fine print of the
listing

Source: Marketing Sherpa Study, August 2005

Meta Tags
Keyword and Description tags


www.asgservices.co.uk – H1 tag


Optimising your Metadata-
Important that the tags show a theme between
each other and the visible content

– No more than 10 words, use hyphens, commas pipes (|) as
delimiters
– Main keyphrase at the beginning of the tag

 Keyword tag
– No more than 4 words

 Eg web marketing, ecommerce training, internet consultancy……
 Only include phrases WHICH ARE ON THE PAGE!

– Should contain keywords – up to 3 repetitions
– ‘salesy’ to encourage click throughs

Link Building Strategies


Link Building Strategies or
Content Marketing?
 Why is link building important?

1. Links from other sites to ours
generate traffic for us
– Eg A reference from a directory
such as Yell.com will lead people
directly to us
– Other ‘content marketing’ will
generate links

2. It is an important factor in our
search engine rankings
– The more links the more important
we are for search engines

New site or not?
 New domains take a while to get ranked by Google
(let’s say 6 months)

 If possible add new pages to existing sites to get
quicker rankings

 If necessary use existing domain to capture
phrases and redirect to new site
– Eg Heskins.com to Heskins.fr and Heskins.it
– Use .com to capture italian and french searches and
redirect to relevant site
– Use GWC to tell Google that part of .com site dedicated to
french and italian traffic


Essentials for new sites….
 Your Content management system (CMS) has to produce search engine
compliant metadata – unique on every page

 The CMS should generate SE friendly urls
– Eg www.yoursite.co.uk/blue_widgets
– NOT - http://www.yoursite.com/bvsn/bvcom/ep/home.do?
tabId=3&BV_SessionID=EngineID=cccd

 You need the functionality to override this metadata to streamline the SEO
moving forwards

 The architecture has to be search engine optimised – eg most important
pages close to homepage

 Use Google Webmaster Central (GWC) to set up site maps, analytics,
geographic area , etc and monitor spidering

 http://www.janklin.com/blog/seo-and-new-websites


Redesigning an existing website -
Preserving Page Rank
 The inner ‘Page Rank’
equity has to be preserved

 5th item down is
www.bodycote.com/?OB=1 –
20
– This page has a Page Rank
value of 5

 What will happen to this equity
when a new page is set up?

 Search Engine friendly
redirection of each page is
essential


Search Engine friendly
Redirection -301’s

 301 redirects tell google bot that one page should
be permanently redirected to another page AND
transfer the Page Rank equity

 Use to transfer page rank from old page to a new
one

 Jan’s blog – how to do 301’s
– http://janaklin.blogspot.com/2007/08/changing-your-
website-and-search-engine.html

 Encourage people to ‘share’ – ie
post references on their walls

 Encourage people to retweet

9000 followers

 Do weekly blogging

 Traffic conversions from web visitors -
slightly higher than search marketing


Cloggs and Social Media

fans and fans fans – eg ‘Edgerank’

What determines what I see in my
‘top news’ feed? – Edgerank Algorithm


My last visit to Facebook


What determines your
position? – Edgerank algorithm


Edgerank Algorithm
 95% of Facebook users use ‘top news’
– Clearly if you want top visibility for your brand
you need to understand ‘edgerank’

 Egderank based on:-
 Affinity, Edge weight, recency (so post
often)

 ‘Edges’ are every interaction you have on
Facebook
– Eg – uploading a photo, ‘liking’ something etc


Affinity
 Is a measure of how ‘friendly’ or ‘close’ you are
with someone or some brand

 For example –
– if you comment on someones photo they are more likely
to appear in your feed
– If you snoop on someones profile (eg ex girlfriend) you
are more likely to appear in their feed


Edge Weight
 All ‘edges’ arent created equal

 We know that photos, videos and links have high
edge weight

 Knowing this we should use these edges and
encourage people to interact with them
– So use a variety of these objects in your status updates to
appeal to different people who respond to different object
– Encourage them click on a photo or video
– Encourage them to click on a link, etc
– In short encourage interaction with you via multiple
objects


Lots of ‘likes’ -
but how important is that?


Lots of interaction to engage fans,
increase affinity and increase sales

 Encourage interaction

 Add free downloads of vids and
music

 Competitions (eg tickets to
shows) to engage fans and
their friends

 Vids and music have high edge
weight

 Posting twice a day for recency
