Notas do Editor

  1. Search used to be as simple as typing in a query but now there are many different ways that customers can find your site.
  2. 3 Main factors: On page content (Keywords, copy), Page Rank (Google’s first standard) and Anchor text (blue, underlined link on page)3 add’l factors: Domain Authority (“strength” of your website over time.), Link Context(Backlinks, also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links) ( and User Signals (Social Authority)Devalued LinksReciprocal links: This SEO company linked to its clients in their case studies and the clients linked back to them.Footer links: The client sites were linking to them in their footers as it was “who built the site” info nobody expected to see in the content itself.Site-wide links: Because the footer was added to every single page on the site, the footer links were site-wide, adding up to dozens, hundreds or even thousandsOff-topic links: A fashion or car website linking to a web design and SEO agency is not really a relevant context.Exact match anchor text links: As the company has built the clients’ sites as a whole, most of the clients had a typical “web design by x” link added where web design was the actual anchor text.
  3. emarketer statistics
  4. Marketing SherpaEmphasize75% of users never scroll past the 1st page of results
  5. Analyze the technical composition and structureof your Web site to identify any issues that will prevent search engines from crawling and indexing your Web pages.
  6. Sound code structure – Do you have any big areas of un-indexable code (Ajax, Flash, Java, etc.)Sitemaps & Robots.txt – The Search Engine bots crawl you one of two ways – their way or the way you tell them to. Always better to give them the map. Meta Data – Do you have the proper Meta Data Code that identifies what your site and pages are about.Rich Snippets - Also referred to as MicroData or Micro Formats. Page speed – Ever increasing importance to Google and the SE’s. 301 redirects – Old, dead and unused URLs
  7. Red Flags are areas of a site that will cause the SE’s to downgrade rankings. Side Note: I ran a report on the BOA site and it came back with several red flags.
  8. Displaying and organizing your content and keywords for the search engines to index. Simply put this is what is on your pages and supported in your code.
  9. Tools – Traditional tools like AdWords, Wordtracker, SEM RushSocial media monitoring tools are great places to mine for keywords. Basically people are more likely to use their real world language on social platforms than anywhere else.Competitive Paid Search acts like a barometer of what people are searching on the webAnalytics – How people are actually reaching your site
  10. Hierarchy – ensure that your pages have logical ‘buckets’Text and Images – keyword dense text and minimal image use – If using images support them with Alt TagsDocuments, White Papers, eBooks – Ofter downloaded they have a lot of detailed contentVideo, Audio – Video is powerful for SEO and if embedded can create a link to YouTube, Google Videos, etc. Social Conversations – Widgets, likes buttonsBlogs, Wikis, Forums – Ability to create content easily
  11. Title tags – Title of the page that shows across the browser pageDescription tags – Description of content that tells the search engine what the page is about and is used in search returnsKeywords tag – A list of keywords relevant to the pageALT tag – Descriptions of the images on the web pageH Tags – On page headers
  12. The key is defining what each pages is about. The home page is the hardest to define for SEO as it has to be the trailhead of the siteAs the pages get deeper on the site you should become more and more specific about the keywords and content
  13. Companies that blog have 434% more indexed pagesBlogs lead to 55% mBlog needs to be on your core domain (.com/blog) to get the utmost benefit for SEO
  14. Analyze the technical composition and structureof your Web site to identify any issues that will prevent search engines from crawling and indexing your Web pages.
  15. This is particularily important in industries with physical locations where people can visit your business. Ideal optimization for Credit Unions as you can compete against big banks locally.Local Search Core ComponentsGoogle+ (Places/Maps) Optimization – The most important and we will cover in detail later.Bing Business PortalGeo Check-InsSubmission to Trusted Providers
  16. JCPenney link farm punishmentPresumably they don't want any hurt-feelings from a company that spends $2.5 million a month on paid Google AdWords search ads!
  17. Analyze the technical composition and structureof your Web site to identify any issues that will prevent search engines from crawling and indexing your Web pages.
  18. correlation data (analytics) & algorithms
  19. When your brand becomes a verb, then you know that you’re the 800 lb gorilla. We see most clients with 85% of their traffic coming from Google.
  20. Google Panda Changed SEO in 2011
  21. The Penguin Update further clamped down on Link farms (response to JCP) and other spamming loopholes.
  22. Start with the basics of SEOAnd the move on to the more complex
  23. Referring to the 800lb. Gorilla mentioned earlier
  24. The way consumers are finding you and more importantly how the EXPECT to find you and where they EXPECT you to be is all part of the transition.
  25. Defeat the stereotype of the Big Bank or Credit Union. ‘Socialize your site’ Cater to the young, future customer.
  26. Questions.
