Digital marketing is at its most powerful state yet

August 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

digital marketing

Marketing has always played an especially important role in the longevity and success of businesses across varying industries around the globe. This has never wavered and it never will. The role of marketing is important because marketing is the epicentre of how a business controls and idealises its image across not only the industry but with clients as well. The businesses that do the best today are businesses that have well and truly come to this realisation and that have chosen to prioritise that realisation for themselves and for the business’ future. Now, as the digital era begins to propel further and further into motion, how are businesses evolving to take on advertising and marketing in the digital era and how are they using it to their most distinct advantage?

The digital era powers evolution into motion

Today, as the digital era continues to go from strength to strength, becoming more powerful all the time, innovations of business such as marketing are becoming more and more digitally inclined. While traditional marketing is always going to have its place, there is the awareness and the understanding that modern consumers have more of an inclination towards digitalisation and technological advancement in every aspect – including, as it turns out, the businesses that they support. The digital era has powered this evolution into motion in terms of not only how marketing has evolved in recent years, but how it continues to unfold as time goes on.

The powerful rise of digital marketing

This is how, where, and why digital marketing has been becoming more prominent in recent years. The power of digital marketing is not a new concept by any means, however the innovation and the willingness that businesses and entire industries around the world have towards bringing digital marketing into their company as a core construct is still relatively fresh. Whether it is asking the question, “does SEO help attract visitors?” or doing the work to incorporate social media marketing into a business’ formal approach to consumer relationships, the powerful rise of digital marketing is not only proving that businesses are evolving to digital standards but that consumers are responding to it much more positively and openly than they are to traditional marketing these days.

The future of digital marketing

Ultimately, the future of digital marketing is only going to continue to go from strength to strength as time goes on. Digital marketing has found its footing in recent years and it only continues to become bolder and stronger as the interests and investment pools continue to rise. Throughout varying industries around the globe, the dedication towards digital marketing is becoming more powerful as businesses realise the full potential that digital marketing houses and the promising trajectory that it holds going forward well into the future and beyond. This is an exciting time for digital marketing and it is hopefully just the beginning. Ideally, the best is yet to come. And what we have seen in recent months is a strong indication that that is very much the case. Only time will tell.

Why SEO Copykat can save you time

December 30, 2017 by admin 6 Comments

You might be wondering what is really “SEO COPYKAT” , its not just a term I made up  to grab  your attention, But it actually works.

At no point should competitive SEO  analysis be about copying someone else’s SEO tactics or backlinks. Instead of copying, use it for inspiration, new ideas and a better understanding of what Google values and what you can do better than your competitor.

Copying the SEO’s

(this method) Its sneaky but not illegal – because  you are just using information that’s already freely available to  everyone on the internet. SEO COPYCAT is just a method of  copying what  the  popular top bloggers are already doing to make their blog a success and earning heaps of cash and doing the same on your website, but in your own way and not plagiarising.

So what we are really doing here is focusing on some money making and popular blogs and copying  common strategies that work which is used by them.

copycat seo copykat blogging making money

They are many top and reputed  bloggers  who earn 100’s of Dollars $$$ in money in a month or even day and  also reveal how they did it on their blogs, but do you really believe they have told you all or revealed all their secrets?

Nope  !! yeh that’s right  if they did tell you everything, everyone would be making a million dollars!

But fortunately blogs  or websites that are online and published  as such, cannot hide much – except for maybe a bit of secret code or plugin here and there and backlinks that they have blocked if any to google and the internet.

 

The main  secret of most top bloggers are in their blogs for the world to see by google and also by you. They are many tools available to let you see their backlink profile,  the traffic and the sources of that traffic  to thier blog,  thier social media ranking , their top ranking keywords etc  to find out how they are ranking and banking online.

The people who are able to see the real secrets by analysing these famous blogs  can be winner’s sooner than the rest of the general public and be on their way to financial freedom.

It is not hard to see what they are doing  based on onpage and offpage SEO on their sites and even analyse their backlink structure. Some tools that may help you find out what top bloogers or competitors are doing are software like Ahrefs ( paid membership) , Semrush (paid monthly membership) and SEO PowerSuite  that is standalone Desktop software(NO monthly membership – one off payment)

Guest Posting is good

So what I have noticed, after the recent EVIL Google Animal Updates (panda-penguin) is that these bloggers and many of my favourite bloggers are suddenly getting heaps of guest posts on their blogs .

This means possibly two things “ either Google prefers or likes  blogs that are updated more regularly or then  the blogging scene is getting more competitive  and so more regular content is needed to keep your traffic steady and improving”. ( hint..hint)

Some of my favourite SEO Gurus  that I would recommend checking out in 2018  for SEO tips is  listed below

  1. https://backlinko.com
  2. https://neilpatel.com
  3. https://chasereiner.com
  4. https://diggitymarketing.com/blog/

See what they are doing in their own blogs and learn from those online live  websites

Trends in Earning money or making money

The other trend  that  is growing is  that many popular bloggers  have now becoming more of a salesman  and less of a  blogger like on of  the blog i follow of  chris guthrie for eg , which proves that Selling software and plugins means earnings $$$$ .

There are still many who are true to the blogging game  ( giving their audience value) and prefer to blog, but that possibly because they got some  back up site or biz making them their money.

Another trend i have noticed recently  and so have you is that suddenly everybody is talking about EBOOKS because that is also where the new money is , The smartphone market is booming  and so is the tablet market so go ahead and make that ebook that you were planning to make and “make some money”

A classic example of  a blog that is doing really good with guest posts and raking in the $$$  with their massive traffic is Daily Blog tips

 

2018 SEO Update

This blog post needed a bit of a recent update, so below are a few tips to check SEO needed for your blog in your niche.

  1. Do a Search for your keyword and  see the top ten results in google.

  2. Analyse Site titles and descriptions for top ten competitors and make better ones for yours (

    Meta Tag Analyzer – SEOCentro)

  3. Check their back links and link structure (do follow, no follow, edu links etc ) and follow same or better  ratio and test. SEMRUSH and Ahrefs tools will help with this.

  4. Check keyword density in competing page for keyword and adjust yours.

  5. Check your content quality of writing/article against  top competitors and improve

  6. Check content length of your article against others and compare

  7. Check UX Design, Responsivesness, Font size ,  https url , Speed loading of site, layout of blog  and other factors against yours to compare and make yours better.

  8. Now check all these factors with other top search engines in mind like Bing search and yahoo

Good Luck !!

And  maybe  these tools featured in search engine land will give you some nice tips  as well  to help you in your SEO process.

Australia misses Out on Google Local ad Targeting

September 12, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

Many of SEO’s and Businesses  use Google  location targeting to show your ads in specific geographic locations such as countries, regions, and cities to more precisely reach your potential customers.

Google is now  introducing new geographical targeting  advertising options and tweaking the options  to get more targeted advertising within AdWords and has also released postal code targeting for Canada.

google adwords  location targeting options for your country

More here

With this new introduction to location targeting AdWords offers location targeting at the postal code, city, metro, or the region level, although targeting at certain levels isn’t available in some countries.

Australia misses out on postal code and DMA Adwords Location targeting

Though Australia missed out on the postal code targeting, as you can see in the pic above,  Australia has location targeting by city and region, which is still good because if you are advertising a local business that is not online only for Sydney  then they can target only the Sydney city, and if a company is seeking local customers from the whole of WA region  they can target only the WA region in their ad words campaign

Canada has got more specific option for targeted advertising with Google introducing the ability to target by Canadian Postal Code FSAs(Forward Sortation Area), the first three digits of the postal code, which correspond to a certain geographic area.

AdWords will now have city and regional targeting capabilities in 9 new countries.

Areas where Google Adwords City and regional targeting is in effect now

Belgium (city)

Taiwan (city)

Vietnam (city)

Bulgaria (region & city)

Denmark (city)

India (city)

Ireland (city)

Romania (region & city)

Sweden (region & city)

AdWords Gets ZIP Code Targeting

ADVERTISERS can also show their nearest location and phone number along with a search ads in these 6 countries

Belgium

Denmark

Ireland

India

Sweden

Taiwan.

From Panda to penguin with Google link building algorithm

August 3, 2012 by admin 3 Comments

IF your stats are out of whack and you  have been linked to  to your website  with a majority of the same keywords ( or anchor text ) to the same home page  and those  words are quite popular ( or pricey) keywords too . Then you have probably been officially been demoted on the Google search by Google.

Tools for penguin algorithm  update checking

And yes,  they can do it because they are the market leader in search. I do remember something similar happening with  Microsoft as well in a different aspect.

So how to get the Monkey ( penguin ) off your BACK

As you can see in the above pic   for eg

if you got a website with  a name  “Australian stock market” and  a majority of the links  are  mentioning  Australian stock market ( green  or brown in pie chart) and pointing to the  home page then its quite likely  you could be hit by the Google penguin.

The solution for linking properly and to show some love to the penguin

Here is what to do

Linking to be distributed in  4 different forms as below  including to home pages and internal; pages

How to use anchor text

How to also use Mixed anchor text

Common Anchor text is back in action

If your website is popular your are going to get genuine links like these( below)  to your website and Google knows this

“click here,”  “visit this website,” and “here.”

These links ( anchor text)  above which has  been regularly  used by  punters, now also help you escape the Google big hand  by diluting   your linking profile  so that they can see its genuine.

Delete or Dilute  your links ( anchor text) to fix them

so if you have been inadvertently been caught up in the big mad Google seo updates algorithm changes.  You will either need to dilute your links with more different  keywords  or gain more genuine links with different keywords or then change your already existing links ( if you can) and anchor text from links that  link to you.

Tools for penguin algorithm  update checking

Tools like  Majestic SEO or Open Site Explorer can help you find out your linking and anchor texts for your website
