Choose the best for your SEO activities

When using any of these services you have to be careful which service to use as they all don't use a 301 direct and it is important from an Search Engine Optimisation perspective.

For those not fully aware what redirects are or do then a brief overview will help explain. There are different types of redirects and various ways they can be implemented.

Google and Bing come clean on Social Media (SM)

It has long been thought that with the addition of social media features and search options from both Google and Bing that social activity, Tweets and FB posts and commenting were being used, to some extent, in both of their search algoriths. But, until now that was all it was.

However, from a series of questions asked by Danny Sullivan of SEL (Search Engine Land), both have come clean and admitted they are using them in different ways to varying degrees.

Using description tag creatively to boost conversion
2010.09.10 15:30:05

How the description tag can improve clickthrough and conversion

Google search resultsIn a previous blog post regarding the description tag for search marketing, even although Google no longer (or ever did) use it in their search algorithm, it was suggested that it was still important enough to take time crafting it effectively.

Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Webspam team, did confirm that it is still used, and displayed below the page title in search page results, when relevant to the search terms entered.

So, how can it be used effectively to help increase clickthrough rates?

SEO - There's more to it than 'set it and forget it'!
2010.08.17 15:19:21

Common misunderstandings about search engine optimization

It's still surprising how many new website owners still believe that all that is needed is to register a domain name, host space, setup a site either themselves or use an outside agency, add their preferred keywords to the meta keywords tag, submit it to Google and then sit back and wait on visitors and leads to pour in.

There might have been a time when that just may have worked but not today with the volume of new sites launched and literally millions of new pages, if not more, published everyday.

The competition for first page ranking in Google is fierce and unrelenting. But not impossible!

The problem with Google's personalised search

Happy to be in the top 10 of Google search!

Have you ever searched for your own company's main keyword and are quite happy to see your site appear in the top 5 or on first page?

Have you ever repeated the search on another computer and been surprised not to see it at all?

Have you consistently seen your site in the top 10 results but not seen the expected increase in visitors higher rankings can achieve?
