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…….

Page 26: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

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

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.html

Page 30: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

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

Page 31: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternalNowadays you need to have a Google account to get this information

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

Page 33: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

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

Page 34: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

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

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

Page 35: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

Using Google’s autosuggest

Another input into keyword analysis

See what gets suggested and include if relevant

BUT

Be aware of personalisation skewing– Results shown will reflect

previous click through activity

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…

Page 41: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

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

Page 42: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

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)

2nd only to Wikipedia!

Page 45: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013

Google Hummingbird Update

Even more emphasis on high quality content

More focus on ‘long tail phrases’ and user intent– Eg ‘How do I install a combi boiler in

my house’

Maybe less focus on keyword matching

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.

Be aware of Hummingbird – Include long tail phrases, synonyms, syntactically related phrases

Be aware of different types of intent – navigational, informational , transactional

The phrases can be included in:-– The main text– Header tags (h1, h2 etc), in-text links, navigation links, ‘alt’ tags

Page 60: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

Optimising your Metadata- Important that the tags show a theme between

each other and the visible content

Title tag– 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– All lower case– Separated by a comma then a space

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

Description tag– No more than 25 words– Should contain keywords – up to 3 repetitions– ‘salesy’ to encourage click throughs

Link Building Strategies orContent 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

– CHECK YOUR LINKS AT www.linkpopularity.com

Page 94: Uktinw&yorks online marketing-oct2013

The SEO Process and Domain Authority (DA)

Do on page SEO work first – then a ranking check to see where you are positioned

The only remaining variable to improve to increase rankings is your domain authority

What is domain authority (DA)?– what is yours?– What is your competitors?

DA is mainly a function of backlinks into your site ( and domain age to a certain extent)

The gap between your DA and your competitors DA can be closed by link building

Video SEO guidelines-Posted

Ensure video is tagged with relevant keywords

Ensure it is in the most appropriate category

Overdub the video with your domain name

Ensure you include a clickable domain name back to your site

Ensure the title and description include your target keyphrases (you can use Youtube to see what the most popular phrases are in your category)

Ideally get a couple of friends to 'rate' your video - ratings (good or bad) have a strong impact on rankings
