- Talking of relevancy this slide is to show you the places to include your relevant keywords for the page. 1 2 3 4 I want to go a bit deeper into the heading tag, heading tags are a bit of code that developers use to tell the browser what font and size to show a piece of content. You can have h1,2,3,4 etc. h1 being the main title h2 being a sub heading etc. this is another opportunity to tell google what is the most important content on the page. If relevant a heading and sub heading really help google understand that page. And its really important we use markup to show what content is a H1, H2 etc
- You can see how this works for ASOS coming top for skater dress and you can see how the keyword is included in the title and description.
- So we have talked about onsite, we need to talk offsite! Offsite SEO refers to online activity that is posted somewhere other than your own website. So ultimately the more websites that are relevant and link to you the better Note the word relevant, Google wants to see lots of other web properties linking to you, but is only interested in extremely relevant and non spammy ones! The reason I have chosen a spiders web is because you need to think of it likes this, we need to create lots of different sites linking to use, but also linking to each other and more so lots of different layers of different types of links.
- So a link profile can be built using some of the following There is a list on the screen, but I am just going to highlight some of them. Posting to directories These can be divided into three groups – General, Niche & Local. General would be directories such as White or yellow pages and so on. Niche obviously refers to directories relating specifically to your area of business, and local is anything based in your own area. All three can be useful, and while they may not attract so many visitors as other methods mentioned, they can be very useful in terms of mapping your location and influencing your ranking on Google Maps. Link Directories There are two basic varieties here – General Link Directories, which accept basically anything and everything, and Niche Link Directories, which are industry specific. The former, are really not worth investing time in – the sheer volume of links is immense and consequently the links are not terribly credible and these sited generally have a poor page rank. By all means, submit to one or two each month for the sake of link diversity, but do not consider these sites a priority. Niche directories on the other hand, can be very worthwhile as they specifically target people interested in your field. For example, if you run a Party Goods Website, directories focusing on Event Management, Entertainments and the like, are more likely to be accessed by people that your site will be of use to. The more selective choice of links published also contributes to the directory site having a better page rank, giving your own link more credibility. Guest blogging Many blogs are happy to accept relevant, well written guest posts, and will link back to your site in exchange for quality content. A link to your site on a relevant blog, can attract a huge amount of new traffic and do wonders for your Google rank – especially if the site you’re posting on already has a high rank of its own. Articles & Press releases Submitting an article, or press release to sites such as Article Dashboard or 24-7 Press Release can be a great way to expose your link to a new and wider audience. Don’t allow your standards to slip though – only submit content you would be happy to have on your own site, as it is still a direct representation of you. Also, don’t be tempted to submit the same content to a dozen different sites – it will be noticed, and do your site more harm than good. Keep your content unique and useful and this can be a worthwhile exercise. Social bookmarking Much like Social Networking, Social Bookmarking when it is social bookmarking sites done well, can be a very valuable tool. As with Facebook & Twitter, StumbleUpon & Digg buttons are an almost essential part of any great web design. Again, there are a huge number of platforms to choose from, so do a little research and decide which are a good fit for your project. Social sharing Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest… love them or hate them, social networking is here to stay. In an age of smart phones and a need for constant, current information, any website not giving it’s readers the option to follow them on their favourite network, is taking a big risk. Social Networks allow you to build a community around your brand, encourage users to share your content, and ultimately, widens your potential audience. Initially setting up the pages can be time consuming, but it really is worth it in the long run. If you’re overwhelmed by the variety available, pick perhaps three of the most popular networks and concentrate your efforts on those. Personally, I’d recommend Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest is a good third as a current rising star of the online world. Local engagement, with local shops and communities If you have a bricks and mortar retail unit, speak to local shops and local communities to see if you can guest blog, link to each other, offer each other resources online. Do something for charity This tends to get the charity or a online article linking to you Suppliers Speak to suppliers and see if they will link to you Blog Commenting A quick search for ‘[your niche] blog’ will return countless results of blogs you can get commenting on, and this can be a great way to build new links. Be selective though – choose blogs that are relevant to your business, and make your comments useful and relevant too – avoid just a ‘great post!’ or ‘I agree!’ – These just look spammy and won’t encourage people to visit your site. forum commenting (babycentre, mothering.com, for baby related products, charity forums for particular audiences.. Maybe animal trust for pet related etc) Create Link Bait Link Bait is any content or feature, within a site, designed to catch people’s attention and interest. A funny photo, a great info graphic, a must have app… Anything that people are drawn to and feel compelled to share with their network. Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive. There are many other ways of successfully building links, but if you’re just starting out, these ideas can help build a solid foundation to build on. Remember too, that linkbuilding is not just about getting your name out there. It’s about networking, building relationships and trust to grow a solid, diverse and ever expanding profile of back links to your site. Use the ideas above and challenge yourself to create ten new backlinks today. Do the same tomorrow, and then again everyday for a week. As your traffic grows, you’ll see for yourself how worthwhile the process is. Good Luck! Trying to utilise all of these different web properties to create a solid spiders web around your site
- 1. Interviews/Q & As with high profile personalities in the industry Sharing the opinion of industry professionals allows you to acquire link-building citations naturally Places you as the go-to person for industry advice Provides you with great, original content 2. Acquiring content that is out of date or under-maintained Allows you to source old content and possibly acquire the links You need to contact the owner of the content and see if you can purchase the old content or re-package it (make it your own) Then you can add more up to date information 3. Republishing viral posts from Facebook and Tumblr All about harnessing the power of social media Finding the most successful pieces of content and then republishing it, often on your blog Just make sure you acknowledge the original source of the content
- 4. Create a database of images and cinemagraphs Create a service that provides bloggers and website owners with images to use, either free or provide them with access This will increase your website conversion rate You may need some initial financial investment, however you will be rewarded with improved link-building campaigns 5. Make the most of Google+ The more your Google+ posts are shared the more high value links you are able to get Ensure you are constantly building your followers Integrate the Google+ logo with your website as you would do with Facebook or Twitter to ensure people are aware you are active on Google+ Don’t forget to share external links within your Google+ posts
- 6. Guest blogging but not as we know it Invite guest bloggers to provide content for YOUR website Tools such as Followerwonk can help you find authors that have a respected and loyal following Once the guest bloggers start to share their content you can naturally absorb their followers, providing you with more unique traffic and more potential followers! 7. Use forums, Q&A sites and blog comments to answer specific questions Use sites such as Quora to take part in asking and answering questions Answer questions specifically on your industry or simply add value to a discussion by honestly answering questions on current topics
- 8. Make it easy for people to link to you Create small HTML snippets that people can plug right into their content to link to you 9. Reverse engineering Keeping a close eye on what your competitors are doing Have a close look at their link sources and analyse them in order to see what methods they use (tools such as Ahrefs, Majestic SEO Open Site Explorer will allow you to extract competitor information) ScreamingFrog will allow you to identify domains and sites that your key competitors are linking out to 10. Last but not least – link reclamation This is simply reclaiming links from a number of sources This could be either links to your site that are broken, linking to the wrong version of the URL, or from unlinked brand mentions The benefits of link reclamation are very high conversion rate for link acquisition, this is because the link has already earned the mention/citation, which makes it much easier for you to then request to have it optimised GoogleAlerts is a great tool to use to track websites and blogs mentioning your site’s content or brand
