The Spidering Process
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
HTML Sitemap
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
Register with Google Webmaster Central (GWC)
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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…….
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
Strategy and Process The right keywords or
keyphrases are the starting point for our strategy
Traffic from a variety of uncommon phrases?– Eg ‘marketing training courses
Manchester’

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
(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
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternalNowadays you need to have a Google account to get this information
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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
(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
(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
(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

Strategy and Process
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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…
(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
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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.

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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)
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
2nd only to Wikipedia!
(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

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

Meta Tags Keyword and Description tags
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
www.asgservices.co.uk – H1 tag
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2013
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
