Articles versus Blogs: Which is Better? – webmarketingexperts.com.au

June 25, 2009 – 1:27 am

Blogs used to be a space or venue where personal thoughts and feelings are recorded. However, because lots of them are easily indexed by search engines and gained visibility among the search engine listing, it has become one of the most effective search engine optimization strategies. Blog contents are more personal and in a way, informal. On the other hand, articles are more informative in which elaborated details are the concerns. Both are effective in raising your site ranking. However, when the curiosity sparks, a question came—which is better in raising your site ranking?

Let’s analyze the traits of blogs and articles. Blogs are often updated frequently so they are timely. It is personal in which somehow would love to be read by people because reading an “inside point of view” write up is usually fun. Articles, on the other hand, are authoritative, marketing driven, and above all, informative.

If we talk about freshness, blogs outfox articles. However, when we talk about more exposure, articles get more. Unless the blog site has higher page rank, then it will be exposed to a lot of readers. However, raising the page rank of your blog site even if you contain it with informative or worth-reading thoughts takes so much time. Unlike with articles, exposure is easy especially if it is written according to the guidelines of quality writing.

The Long and Stemming Road to Link Building

It is important to remember that in link building, links are not detached entities from keywords. Both are collectively considered in the SEO process.

The SEO Metric System

June 22, 2009 – 11:57 pm

There are plenty of companies out there who have used search engine optimization to boost their business, both online and offline. I’m sure each and every one of them is eager to know how well their investments are working out. It’s no joke to spend money on launching an internet marketing strategy in the hopes of improving business. Without positive returns, enterprises would loose out on profits, which may prove to be detrimental to overall business. In order for clients to remain confident in their work and attract more customers, SEO firms should endeavor to constantly measure and prove the effectiveness of their optimization efforts. Lucky that like any other venture, the success of search engine optimization is quite measurable.

For those that are involved, here are three understandable standards for you to use in measuring the efficiency of an SEO campaign. The first and most obvious way is to monitor the site’s page ranking. It should be improving as the campaign is going on. Within 6 months, web traffic is expected to increase by 73%. During this time, the site should already belong and have a high ranking on the first result page of the multiple search engines available for use. The second way is to keep track of the web pages that are presented on search engines for a specific keyword. As your site is optimized, it should show up on the search engine list along with the sites you have noted, and should eventually take over positions until such time that it gains the top spot. The third way is to track your web traffic statistics, from the total visitors to the number of page views and entries. The knowledge gained from this survey impacts the conversion rate your site will have (which by the way, is the most important metric you need to consider). Sales and data input divided by the number of unique visitors will interpret the popularity your site has on the World Wide Web.

A rise in all of the mentioned standards is tantamount to a triumphant SEO campaign. With an improvement on these aspects, you can guarantee that you are getting your money’s worth with the venture. Make sure that you pay close attention to the SEO metric system.

The Woes of Social Networking for SEO

June 22, 2009 – 12:33 am

Many companies are finding their way into social networking sites in an effort to optimize their sites and boost business revenue. Twitter and Facebook are just two of the leading social websites that are currently used in promoting online business. As an internet marketing strategy, social networking sites offer a more far-reaching and influential venue. In addition, it provides a more effective means for creating ties with a diversified group of potential clients.

But there are some drawbacks to the use of social web media for SEO. For one, there are only a handful of reactive users in such a social setting. About 20% of the population on Twitter and Facebook are actually participative on discussions. The rest are merely unresponsive onlookers and bystanders. This makes the success of any SEO endeavor quite questionable. But then again, a small quantity of target viewers is still able to generate a great amount of optimization return, if efficiently tapped. It’s just a matter of knowing who and how.

On another note, driving a bulk of traffic to your site using social networking sites will be a bit challenging if a business has not established itself as reliable. Without a representative that has a marked credibility on the social networking site, businesses will go unheard of and beaten out of the limelight. Business must then, have an identity that is familiar with and appeals to the portion of users that are actively involved in the social process. This identity must share fruitful, fascinating and fulfilling thoughts, above everything else. With this, it might be necessary for account holders (business owners) to share personal experiences that people identify with. Whether it is about child rearing or car maintenance, these familiar activities are what will attract target audiences and divert their attention to linking sites.

With that in mind, companies must carefully consider the use of social networking sites in search engine optimization. Though it is a helpful method in advertising business, it does not guarantee a following. Online marketing is an unpredictable domain. In as much, SEO experts must be prepared for anything.
