Search Engine Marketing Explained

Sunday, April 26th, 2009
Tug Search asked:


This article has been prepared by Tug. Tug, is a Search Engine Marketing specialist agency, based in Shoreditch, London.

Search Engines have evolved into a new consumer, communications and marketing channel. Google, Yahoo and MSN serve 213 million searches a day.

In fact, 9 out of 10 internet surfers use a Search Engine to start their internet journey. Therefore, if your website doesn’t have visibility in the engines, you are missing significant volumes of traffic.

Natural vs. Paid for Listings

There are essentially two listings within a Search Engine Results Page (SERP): the Natural listings (on the left) and the Paid for listing (on top and on the right).

Natural listings are the results the engine believes to be the most relevant sites to your search. The natural listings consistently receive over 70% of consumer clicks. Paid for listings are the ads served by Advertisers, who have bid on the term searched for by the consumer.

The Natural listings therefore list all available websites in the World Wide Web, while the Paid for listings only serve links by relevant Advertisers willing to pay for their spot, and thus high visibility in the engines.

To increase Reach, advertisers can pay for ads on the Search Engines themselves, as well as their local listings, mobile listings and their Content Network of websites.

Pay per Click (PPC). Pay only for Visitors

Unlike other marketing channels where you pay for the number of people who see your ad, in pay per click advertising (PPC) you only pay when someone clicks on your ads and is driven through to your site.

• 75% of users search for goods and services through a Search Engine.

• PPC has the lowest cost per lead compared to other Direct Marketing methods.

• Pay per click advertising is relevant to what the individual is searching for – targeting them at the right moment and mood.

• Pay per click is 100% accountable.

• Advertisers can know the cost of each conversion in real-time, and campaigns can be instantly optimised for maximum ROI.

To get visibility in the paid for listings you can set up a PPC campaign for your website yourself, or by commissioning a specialist Search Engine Marketing agency like Tug.

To get visibility in the Natural listings you need to optimise your website – this is called Search Engine Optimisation. Again this is where you need to commission a specialist agency like Tug.

What is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?

Search engine Optimisation, or SEO as it’s commonly known as, is an online marketing strategy that involves designing, writing and coding your entire website with the intention of enabling search engines to index your site easily and efficiently. The sole aim and objective is for it to rank higher for keywords relevant to your business. Optimising a website is critical to gaining visibility on the organic or natural (left hand side) search results (SERP’s) of search engines.

SEO, is done in two stages, known primarily as on page and off page. On page involves the website itself and fundamentally evolves around the design, build and copy laid out within the actual site. Off page relates to ongoing SEO development and includes link building campaigns, news and article submissions, paid directory submissions and joining discussion forums that relate to your chosen industry. The latter is basically about gaining 3rd party exposure of your website.

On Page Factors

• Keyword mining

• Keyword density checks

• Credible copywriting

• Meta tags scripting

• Clean and valid mark-up (HTML)

• Link management

Off Page Factors

• Free / paid directory submission

• Article and news submission

• Press release distribution

• Reciprocal link marketing

• Inbound link building

• Digital signatures

Using Search Engine Marketing to meet your Communication Objectives

Consumers using a Search Engine are primarily in two sets of mind: ‘Research’ mode and ‘Ready to act/buy/sign up’ mode. From a marketer’s point of view they are at different stages of the Purchase Cycle.

PPC campaigns should be set up with this in mind. Different campaigns can be geared for different objectives – for example one for Awareness and one for Sales. The Awareness campaign should be optimized for Reach, concentrating on the highest number of clicks at the cheapest possible price. The Sales campaign conversely should be optimized for sales volume and cheapest Cost per Acquisition (CPA).

Search Engine Optimisation will primarily meet your Awareness and Traffic objectives, as the campaign usually concentrates on fewer, broader keyterms. But keep in mind that this broader Search might ultimately lead to a sale as the Searcher moves through the Purchase Cycle. Remember to optimize your Meta Descriptions (the description in the SERP) with the consumer in mind.

Search Engine Marketing Case Studies:

Pay per Click Case Study: Truffle Shuffle http://www.truffleshuffle.co.uk

Problem

• Truffle Shuffle is an online retailer competing in a tight margin business, against small t-shirt retailers and huge online retailers like ASOS.

• We delivered a 24:1 ROI (revenue generated/ad spend).

Article Marketing Tips 101: the Importance of Good Keyword Selection

Monday, April 20th, 2009
Dave Rope asked:


If you are using article marketing to generate traffic for your site, it’s important to use the right keyword selection to get the most out of it. It’s also crucial that the article be structured with search engine optimization in mind.

To find the right keyword selection to use when writing your articles, you should use a keyword tool.

There are three major keyword tool that I recommend:

1. Google Keyword Tool: Google offers a free keyword tool and this can be a great place to start. The one drawback about using Google’s free tool is that it doesn’t give exact numbers. You’ll get search volumes and competition for a particular keyword as a ratio based on the other keywords in that category.

2. Wordtracker: Wordtracker is a great keyword tool because not only does it quickly generate keyword lists, but it also gives you the amount of searches performed for each term and the amount of competition you will have. They use the “KEI” index which stand for Keyword Effectiveness Index so you can easily know which keywords are worth it and which aren’t. You can actually try it for free by using the link at the end of this article.

3. Keyword Elite: Keyword elite is not only a valuable keyword finding tool, it’s also a versatile tool for finding hidden niches and google adsense campaigns. When you use keyword elite to find keywords it gives you much more information that the other keyword tools. You will know how many people search for the keyword, how many results are found on the web, how many ad campaigns exist for google, miva (yahoo) and enhance (msn), and how much advertisers are paying for each keyword with google adwords. Not only that, but you also get to see exactly what each ads look like which is great if you are running PPC campaigns.

In order to properly optimize your articles for search engines, be sure to include the selected keyword numerous times in the text. Using special text such as bold, underline and italics on the keyword also makes it stand out. Be careful not to overdo it because if you do, your article may be discounted by the search engines as spam. If you keep the keyword density at or below 3%, you will be fine.

Using the appropriate keyword selection will ensure that your article marketing efforts are not wasted on highly competitive keywords. It will also give a chance for your articles to rank high on the search engines which will result in more natural traffic to your site.

Search Engine Basics 1

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
Vikas Malhotra asked:


Search engines: What are they?

A search engine is one of the most important tool that helps you find information on the web. Search engines are giant sized automated cataloguing & retrieval systems. They typically have large databases of web pages & other information found on the net. Upon specific query by the users these databases are scanned & the matching results displayed.

The utility of search engines in web search lies in the fact that they are the repositories of large amounts of information which can be searched very conveniently using certain keywords. This natural language searching & many advanced features now available with search engines makes the recipe tantalizingly attractive. Hence it is no wonder that 78% of the users start their search process for any information via a search engine.

Before we go any further lets clarify the difference between a search engine & a web directory. Search engines as we have learnt are automated software based systems which aid the web search. Directories are generally human based indexes in which the web sites are visited & catalogued by human beings. In the directories the web sites are included in the categories & sub categories . These categories or taxonomies are specific to specific directories.

Users can search for relevant sites in a directory by either mining on the subject they are looking for or searching through keywords. The most famous commercial directory is Yahoo. There are hundreds of directories available. We will be discussing them later. A point to note here is that most of the SE have now started to mix their web results with some kind of directory results.

Though there is a category of SE which are not crawler based. They accept money to list your web site. These paid listings search engines will be dealt in greater detail in subsequent section.

For the moment, lets look at search engine internals a little more closely:

What goes into making a search engine

To have a birds eye view of search engine functionality will help the searcher evaluate the relative search engine merits amongst themselves as also compared with other search resources.

Search engines as we know them, to put simply, are divided into three parts:

Crawler

Index

Search software

Lets take them one by one.

Search Engine Crawler: A traditional database is populated using conventional data entry methods. Not so on the web. Search engines send a software called spider or crawler to the wild web. This spider will visit a web site once it hears of it (through other links pointing to the web site, cataloguing in some directory or direct submission to the SE) & will start to crawl around. Based on links in the site it will digest as much information as it has been programmed to receive about the web site. Thus crawlers are search engines inventory(index) suppliers.

Search Engine Index: Index or the catalogue is that huge book which contains a copy of all the web pages that have been spidered. This in other words is the database of the search engine. Once the site has been crawled it is added to the index of the search engine. This database is refreshed & updated as per the settings done by specific search engines on a regular basis.

Search Engine Ranking Software: This is the sauce which is mostly instrumental in different crawler based search engines serving different platters on being queried about the same recipe. In other words, this is the area where most of the search engines differ in the way they handle queries & display results. This portion of the SE deals with scanning the database (index) according to specific user queries & then ranking the matches found.

This brings us to the variety found in search engines.

Types of search engines:

Search engines come in various flavors. There is as much variety in search engines as one wants. From a searchers angle it makes sense to have a handle on the major search engines in multiple categories as one important aspect of doing a good search is to be aware of specific tools to be applied in specified conditions. To illustrate, a good medical search could be done using medhunt.com as compared to say altavista.com.

Broadly the categories that the major search engine could be divided into are:

General search engines

Specialty search engines

Meta search engines

Paid search engines

Search utilities

All of these search engines have a specific utility & specific application. Lets take some examples to demonstrate.

The almost eponymous General search engine is google.

In specialty search engines we have search engines specially for multimedia, medicine, blogs, law, industry ,scientific papers…

The meta search engines are which use two or three other general search engines to generate results & then customize the format in which they are presented. Some prime examples are mamma.com, myway.com, metacrawler.com etc.

This category of search engines are really growing as a category. Starting with overture.com they come in multiple varieties as well. While some accept paid inclusions like inktomi to PPC( pay per click) engines like overture, espotting etc.

Search utilities are specialized tools utilized for special applications. One example of such utility is lexibot which scavenges the deep web for information.

Keyword Analysis – Details Explained

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
As the years roll by and I keep honing my SEO Consulting skills, my Keyword Analysis process and documentation has gone through several transformations.

The deliverable Keyword Analysis document is on an Excel spreadsheet with several tabs. The main contents of my keyword analysis are:

1) Keyword Volume/Discovery.

2) Keyword Ranking.

3) Keyword Demand.

4) Web Analytics.

5) Keyword Difficulty.

6) Next Steps.

Keyword Search Volume and Discovery:

I use Wordtracker and cross reference with other tools like KeywordDiscovery and the Google Keyword Tool. A separate tab is created for each keyword group. International SEO demands that the foreign language Google is checked. Eg: Google.no, google.de, google.co.uk. Once all the possible keyword combinations are generated, I look for the most relevant terms that are further down the Conversion Funnel for a better return on investment (ROI). Those are the terms that I use for the next step.

Keyword Ranking:

I take the identified terms from the Keyword Search Volume Discovery tab, and plug them into Web Position. Sometimes, I double check the keyword rankings manually against Web Position. This tab is used as the Baseline Keyword Ranking.

Keyword Demand:

Next, I plug those terms from the Keyword Ranking report into a Keyword Demand Matrix. This tab contains 5 Columns: Keyword Phrase, Monthly KW Demand, Actual search referrals, Share of Search traffic, Missed opportunities.

Web Analytics:

In this tab, copy and paste the Analytics report. Basic information I like to see is Visitors, by Keywords, by Search Engine, for the last 3 months. Each month can be it’s own tab. Of course if they have conversion data, that is included. Occasionally, we need to correctly configure the Analytics software.

Keyword Difficulty & Competitiveness

At this point, I’ve usually narrowed down the keyword(s) I want to optimize for the Target URL to a couple of terms. A few factors I measure are: Domain Link Portfolio, Age of Domain, .edu .gov links, Alexa Rank, PageRank, and the Internal link percent of the Target URL.

Next Steps:

In this tab, you want to call out 3 things: Campaign Objectives, Target Keywords and their Success Metrics and the rationale behind it. The actual next steps are a Technical SEO Analysis & Recommendation document to Optimize the entire site.

My objective is to optimize the entire site for an increase in overall visitor traffic, with an additional success metric for a few specific keywords mapped to their corresponding Target URL’s.

Writing Content to Generate Search Engine Traffic

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
Writing content for Internet websites is no joke. Although the used adage Content is king still rules the protocols of many webmasters, writing the best content is still a continuing challenge. There are many factors to deal with when determining what content is suitable for online publishing, which would be better off in print, and which should not see the light of day at all. There are search engine habits to be reckoned with, changing tastes of the burgeoning Internet market steeped in Web 2.0, and the way the human mind works when confronted with writing online.

If you are seeking to write content that can generate you search engine traffic, then you need to understand how search engines work in the first place. If you do a Google or Yahoo! search on yourself or your website, you might notice that you are categorized or placed as a search result under certain search terms. How these search terms are determined is not up to the search engine it is entirely up to you.

In order to help in making categories and picking up keywords, search engines send out robots or spiders every so often. These robots or spiders are software that scour the Internet for websites both old and new. These robots or spiders go through the text of websites and pick up keywords, or words or phrases that are repeated at a certain frequency and that are present at a certain density in a website. Once these keywords are picked up, the robots then assign the website to be indexed under the words or phrases. This means that everything rests on a site content.

The definition of site content, at least in the context of search engines, rests on the text of a website. You might place important information in site graphics or animation, even in audio or video files that you can play on your site. The search engine robots or spiders, however, can read only text, and no other format. This means that you have to write your text content so that it fits the requirements of search engines.

How can you write attractive content? You need your content to be useful to a large market, as well as relevant to your site aims, goals, and offerings. This brings us to Web 2.0: in this new and existing paradigm of Internet use, the World Wide Web is seen as a more interactive place, where people can post their thoughts in the forms of videos, audio, or text. This also means that the tastes of the Internet market are changing, and can be determined if you look through blogs and online diaries. If you know where to look for the interests of your market, then you can design your content so that it fits your market needs.

You also have to write content that is pleasing to the eye as it stimulates the mind. Make sure that your paragraphs are short, and that your articles do not exceed over five hundred to seven hundred words. You also need to design your text so that it is balanced with the graphics of your website pages: text color has to contrast well with your page background, and you may need to add pictures to supplement your content.

Your content has to capture your audience in the first few seconds of viewing, so you may need to look for writing experts who can take care o this for you. Get search engine optimization specialists who write exclusively for websites. You can make wise investments in this field, because specialists can make sure that your articles are picked up by major search engines, and your website is indexed under the proper keywords.

Search engines need you to make your site useful and content rich in order to properly index it. With the right investments and the best writers, you can indeed achieve the fame you need to have online.

How to Make PPC Search Engine Advertising Affordable

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
PPC search engine advertising is by far the most affordable form of advertising available. PPC advertising is a flourishing business that is expected to reach $8 billion. PPC is about producing leads and making sales. Creating leads will help potential buyers find the specific website that will provide them with the product or service they need.

However, PPC does not end there. It is important to understand that although PPC generates leads, it is also important for users to find relevant information at the website they are directed to. Information is a valuable asset in advertising that is often left unchecked by many websites. Keep in mind that users are more likely to purchase products or services from a company that provided them with the necessary information they needed in the first place.

a) Qualified traffic with PPC search engine advertising

One of the benefits of PPC  is that it provides qualified traffic to a specific website. Users that click on a PPC ad are those in search of a particular product or service. This helps eliminate unnecessary clicks from non-prospective buyers that only produce expenditures not profits. PPC search is also the fastest way to get a reasonable return on investment.

A bidding process is used to establish the price of a specific keyword. In general, the budget for PPC advertising may be a $100 to $100,000 depending on the number of keywords used. These prices can skyrocket in just minutes as more and more sites bid for the same keyword thus causing the prices to jack up.

PPC ads are placed alongside search engine results to which they are relevant. The highest bids for a specific keyword or phrase gets top billing on the search engine results page. Getting top placement provides greater odds for a PPC ad to get clicked by a qualified searcher.

b) A few elements of PPC search advertising

PPC advertising involves three basic elements; constant monitoring, response analysis and refinement as the essential factors involved in PPC search advertising. Proper management of PPC advertising can result in big profits for a website.

PPC engine advertising makes it possible for sites to monitor the productivity of each PPC ad they place. This gives a site the opportunity to turn off any PPC ad that is not performing at its best. PPC search advertising provides the most economical way for a site to advertise on the World Wide Web.

The cost entailed in PPC search is dictated by the clicks made on a particular PPC ad. The number of clicks made on a PPC ad is subtracted from the initial amount paid by the business to a search engine company. To minimize cost and maximize return on investment, a business will have to regularly monitor its PPC advertising campaign.

c) How to use PPC  advertising

Many businesses are unable to get the most out of their PPC advertising campaign. PPC advertising involves a lot more than just bidding on the highest keywords. Information is a main concern of many online users.

Providing online users with relevant information they need will help bring about a more long-term relationship with an online user that will more likely result in a sale.

Information provided to online users may be in the form of a newsletter or e-zine that online users would likely sign up for. Sign-ups may be enough to cover the expenses of a PPC advertising campaign.

Sign-ups also help generate leads for websites as they build opt in list from qualified online searchers who clicked their PPC ad. Getting personal information from qualified online searchers can be done in a variety of ways such as offering freebies for surveys or signing up for newsletters.

PPC search is a continuous process that requires hands on supervision and a thorough understanding of PPC. Businesses may opt to hire the services of a professional or do PPC advertising with in-house experts. Whatever course of action is selected, a business is sure to get a huge return on investment with PPC advertising.  Learn more about the tools of PPC search engine advertising.

What is a CPA Network and How Can it Make Me Money

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

CPA, or cost per action, is one of the hottest ways to make money on the internet today – and surprisingly many internet marketers have never even heard of it. The action that you get paid for is for your site visitor to fill out a form with some personal details, usually an e-mail address or zip code, and submit it. That’s all! No pre-selling, no refunds, no long sales pitches or any of the hundreds of other traditional affiliate marketing woes to worry about. When done correctly, CPA is one of the simplest ways to monetize a website.

A CPA network is what makes all of this possible. CPA networks bring advertisers and publishers together and act as a sort of middle-man, vetting both sides and making sure that the publishers get paid for their efforts. On one side, the advertiser provides an offer, say for car insurance, some marketing materials, and then pays the network a commission for making it available to the CPA affiliates. On the other side, these affiliates market the products via their websites, drive traffic to the sites and generate sales leads. The sweet bit is that, whether the customer actually buys the product, or not, the CPA affiliate still gets paid simply for generating the signup.

From a customers perspective its always less of a consideration to part with information than money, and so you find that sign up rates for a CPA network, as opposed to a more traditional affiliate network are significantly higher – meaning more money for you, the CPA affiliate

A good choice of CPA network can often be the difference between good sales and great ones. Most CPA networks have a team of affiliate managers who will vet prospective affiliates, but once accepted there are great riches to be reaped. Since each CPA network also offers different promotions its often worth signing up with more than one.
