- Study for Organic Rankings

The Golden Triangle - key location on Google for visibility as determined by the eye activity in the study is a triangle that extends from the top of the results over to the top of the first result, then down to a point on the left side at the bottom of the "above the fold" visible results. This key area was looked at by 100 percent of the participants. In the study, this was referred to as the "Golden Triangle".

Generally, this area appears to include top sponsored, top organic results and Goggle's alternative results, including shopping, news or local suggestions.

Visibility dropped quickly with organic rankings, starting at a high of 100% for the top listing, dropping to 85% at the bottom of the "above the fold" listings, and then dropping dramatically below the fold from 50% at the top to 20% at the bottom.

There seems to be a "F" shaped scan pattern, where the eye tends to travel vertically along the far left side of the results looking for visual cues (relevant words, brands, etc) and then scanning to the right if something caught the participant's attention.

Keyword Meta Tags

Are keyword meta tags important?

Matt Cutts Answers

Choosing Keywords

1. Start with a list of all words you can come up with that are relevant

2. Look at your competitors list of keywords from their site

3. Use Keyword Tools

Keyword Traffic

1. Use tools to see how much traffic for the keywords chosen.

2. Then see if you have content, products, design, theme to support the keywords chosen.

3. Remove unwanted keywords.

Keywords for Onsite SEO

1. Targeted – ford mustang 4 door GTO

2. Broad – ford mustang

3. Become an authority – Google decides when your site is relevant enough for targeted keywords to begin to show for broad keywords.

that keyword as the link.

- On Page Optimization

Step One – Analyze Your Needs. What do you want to accomplish What is the goal of the user experience What is your time frame

Step Two – Analyze Your Current Site. What is your current PR What keywords do you rank for? How is the design, architecture, content and linking structure? What keywords do you want to rank for?

Step Three – Analyze Competitors Websites. What is the PR of your competitors? What keywords does your competitors rank for? How is the design, architecture, content and linking structure of a competing site?

Set SEO Goals

The goal for a site that wants to rank for more than a single generic term is to selectively decide what their site is and is not about.

Rankings often are damaged in two major ways either by including irrelevant content or having too little content for a subject on a website.

Know Your Theme Do not be all things to all people

Know Your Subjects Know Your Competition Know Your Keywords

Track results, Test, Test Again, Make Improvements

Repeat

Copyright 2009 Premazon Internet Business Consulting

- SEO Tracking

What is SEO tracking? Tracking is when you can see the page in your site move up

in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page)

Page Rank in Google is NOT Page Rank for a Keyword in Google You can monitor your Page Rank for a keyword

Keyword Density Tools I use this tool – it is old school – and I feel best practice for

SEO! You can identify if the major themes are used throughout the Meta tags, Headings, ALT attributes and Body Content.

Use Information from Analytics and PPC to help with historical information

Copyright 2009 Premazon Internet Business Consulting

- Test, Make Improvements

A/B Testing I like to see a change, watch it for a bit and compare

BEFORE committing Numbers speak, look at analytics and see if the traffic

improved See if your rank improves in the SERP’s If you have a PPC account use it for testing advertisement

Make Improvements No website is perfect Look at competitors and adjust - the ideal solution is to

be least imperfect

- What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics shows you how people found your site, how they explored it, and how you can enhance their visitor experience. Improve your website return on investment, increase conversions, and make more money on the web.

Use Google Analytics to find out which keywords attract your most desirable prospects, what advertising copy pulls the most responses, what landing pages and content make the most $$ for you—and what problem areas prompt visitors to leave your site. You can use it to figure out your revenue and ROI for each campaign and referral source, your average click value and how much you should spend on each keyword.

- Analytics Strategy

Simple Questions for a strategy Why does the website exist? What are the Core Customer Experiences (CCE)? How do we know we are successful in each CCE? What are our Key Performance Indicators (KPI)?

Common KPI’s - measuring reach, acquisition, conversions, and retention

How do we know we are successful in each KPI? Can changes to any metric really improve our

outcomes?

Copyright 2009 Premazon Internet Business Consulting

- Be Proactive not Reactive

Analytical data is what we see after the fact

Learn your user activity

Don’t wait to see, ask if what you want can create positive data

Look at current trends working in your company and bring those ideas to your web analytics Example: Operation Manager meets weekly with COO to

discuss vender relationships and pricing You attend the meeting and see how you can implement a

similar strategy by testing if any of those vendors send traffic to your company

Copyright 2009 Premazon Internet Business Consulting

- Analytics Speak for them self

Depersonalize Decision Making Usually the highest paid person, owner, CEO is the final decision

maker You can explain til you are blue in the face why A is better than B,

but if they like B better or it is less expensive, many times they wil choose B

If you show the same person how they can improve their bottom line by true and accurate numbers - you have a better chance

Set Benchmarks that can be looked at over time

Experiment to improve customer experience

Leverage competitive analysis on and off site Buy their product, test their shipping, call their call center, look at

their web ads, traditional ads, get on their e-mail list, subscribe to their newsletter

How to ad Analytics to Wordpress

Questions I was asked to address

1. How do I manually track clicks on outbound links?

Google Analytics provides an easy way to track clicks on links that lead away from your site. Because these links do not lead to a page on your site containing the UTM JavaScript, you will need to tag the link itself. This piece of JavaScript assigns a pageview to any click on a link - the pageview is attributed to the filename you specify.

For example, to log every click on a particular link to www.example.com as a pageview for "/outgoing/example_com" you would add the following attribute to the link's <b_<a>> tag:</b_<a>>

<a href="http://www.example.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/example.com');">

It is a good idea to log all of your outbound links into a logical directory structure as shown in the example. This way, you will be able to easily identify what pages visitors clicked on to leave your site.

To verify that _trackPageviewis being called correctly, you can check your Top Content report 24-48 hours after the updated tracking code has been executed. You should be able to see the assigned pagename in your report.

Answer

Adwords and AnalyticsBefore you link your account, ensure that you've used the same email address for both your Analytics and AdWords account and that the AdWords login email address has Admin access on the Analytics account.

If you haven't used the same Google Account, simply add your AdWords login email address to your Analytics account as an Account Admin.

Next, in order to link your Google Analytics and Google AdWords accounts, you will need to have an AdWords account that is a Standard Edition.

Log in to your AdWords account & Click the Reporting tab and click 'Google Analytics.

If you don't have an Analytics account, click the Continue button to sign up for one.If you already have an Analytics account, click I already have a Google Analytics account.

Adwords and Analytics 2

From the Existing Google Analytics Account drop-down list, select the name of the Analytics account you'd like to link to. Can't see it there? You'll need to add your AdWords username to your Analytics account as an Account Admin.

Keep the checkboxes selected on this page, unless you're sure you'd like to disable auto tagging and cost data imports. Click Link Account. That's it!

Your two accounts are now linked. If you opted to keep auto-tagging turned on, Analytics will automatically tag your AdWords links for detailed campaign tracking reports. We'll also begin importing cost data from your AdWords campaigns for ROI calculations so you will be able to see your AdWords data in Analytics
