Does Social Media Affect Search Marketing

by Admin on April 5, 2012

Two channels of marketing

Social media and search engine marketing are considered to be complementary to
each other. But these two  channels  are relevant only depending on the situation.
Moreover the social media is receiving enormous response in their performance and
also their growth in the field of marketing, communication and community building
opportunity   which   attracts  the   attention  of   all   kinds   of   online   marketers   such   as
search engine experts and other professional developers.

Reason of how social media affect search marketing

When you analyze the reason behind of how social media affect search marketing,
you will come to know that there are various factors lying behind it. So now let’s look
at each of these factors. They are as follows:

  • Searchers view have changed

At  present,  the  users  spend  a  lot  of  time  in connecting,  interacting  with  different
people in the web. Moreover the searchers have started to explore information in a
systematized way like by sharing the searched information in the social web in order
to   analyze   more   results   about   the   concept.   Likewise   the   searchers   are   able   to
facilitate the option of saving the required search results by either bookmarking or
saving to the favorites in the browser.

  • Sharing of information in social media

Nowadays bookmarks have been made social to be shared and also connect via any
preferences from any linked searchers. Apart from this, the social web applications
such   as   networking,   bookmark,   media   sharing   etc   has   forced   the   consumer   to
optimize their usage in social media to a great extent. Typically, the consumers have
started to access Twitter, Face book to a small extent in a way to find an alternative
for their standard search of information gathered by them.

  • False reviews

People never intend to believe formal marketing messages as it doesn’t attract them
much and they more concentrate on recommendations about the products & services
which seem to be trust worthy. Due to increase in number of fake reviews especially
in ecommerce sites, marketers have started to analyze the content deliberately.

  • Searchers expectation in regards to social media affecting the SEO efforts

Mainly  it’s   important  to  know  that  keywords  alone  do  not   make  the  SEO  content
optimization. It’s created with a sense of assisting the customers at an easy click by
facilitating the content to share, saved, submit and also to discuss the website with
other   people   to   gain   more   knowledge.   With   the   help   of   online   advertising,   the
companies are able to enhance their ads with rich social media. Further links are
added up to provide the users with a way to share or comment.

  • SEO effect of social media marketing

The social media marketing is a marketing which revolves around many controversies
and buzz which can clear certain queries on keywords and as the result is the public
coverage of social media. Moreover in social web solutions, a great concept spreads
quickly as it drives the people to search for more information about the content.
Thus these are the few factors that social media affect the search marketing in a
great deal. Therefore the pull comes from the users who search for standard search
engines to optimize in the market.

Google’s Page Layout Algorithm

by Admin on February 26, 2012

Have you ever visited a website & been frustrated by a difficulty in locating the content you’re actually looking for? Google’s page layout algorithm is specially designed to penalize web pages that are over stuffed with ads and poor content. This new algorithmic enhancement tends to severely impact web sites having only a lesser amount of visible content above-the-fold (i.e. the screen area that is visible to you before scrolling down the web page).
 
So, for the better ranking of your website, do not stuff numerous ads above the fold. Try to keep maximum two ads above the fold. If your site has numerous ads in and around your header, you’ll be sorry. Even if they are Google ads!!! Make sure that your webpage’s are as much relevant as possible & also accurately reflects your sites’ actual content.
Due to countless complaints arrived at the Google from internet surfers complaining regarding heavy loading websites or having tough time to load the web page slowing down their searched info. Google has implemented this change in order to provide only high quality websites having relevant content in search results to the web user.
You must be thinking that,” How much content needs to be placed “above the                          fold”? For this, Google has also presented a tool called “Browser size tool” that helps you to determine if you have placed excessive ads above the fold. With this tool you can view your website under different screen resolutions. So websites that don’t have sufficient content “above-the-fold” can be easily affected by this change. Such websites may not be able to rank as highly going forward.
As per this algorithm the websites that places large number of ads above the fold while compromising the original content availability for users will be penalized in Google’s search results and may not rank higher anymore. But the websites that place ads above-the-fold to a normal degree won’t be affected by this algorithm. Good News for high quality websites
The philosophy behind this layout is that the web pages with top heavy ads obscure the content of a page and thus, negatively impacting user experience.  The websites that are using pop-ups or overlay ads are not greatly impacted by this change. Once you are penalized by the layout algorithm, you will have to wait until Google agrees to run the algorithm again to have your website reconsidered. So, this change enables to demote websites that make it difficult for a user to get to the quality content & offer a bad user experience.
If you really want to induce sales then place your hottest business headlines & related news content above the paper’s “fold.” Do place your best content before any scrolling down is necessary. As information placed in this key location rapidly catches the eye & entices engagement. Just make sure to place ads on your web site in a responsible manner that keeps the user experience in mind.

6 Tips to Speed Up and Optimize Your WordPress Plugins

by Admin on January 11, 2012

The WordPress engine is pretty efficient out of the box, but once you start loading plugins the performance and responsiveness of your site might go downhill. On top of that the consumption of resources might become too big, possibly leading to a suspension of your hosting account (especially if you use shared hosting).

Over the years I played with and tweaked my WordPress plugins trying to achieve a good performance level, and below you’ll find the tips I learned along the way:

1. Use a Cache Plugin

Serving cached versions of your pages is one of the most efficient ways to speed up your site and to reduce the CPU and memory consumption on your server. Also, if you are not using the W3TC plugin yet I highly recommend you switch to it, as it works much more efficiently than the other plugins available.

2. Remove All Unnecessary Plugins

Unless your site absolutely relies on a plugin to work I would recommend removing it. Sure, you might need to lose a functionality or two, but in the long run this will keep your site running fast and securely. Keep in mind that it’s possible to hard code what some plugins do, as well. For example, instead of using a plugin to generate a list of “Popular Posts” on your sidebar you could create the list yourself with raw HTML. Instead of using a contact form plugin you could simply write a paragraph on your “Contact” page including your email address there. So on and so forth.

3. Pay Special Attention to Post-Level Plugins

On most WordPress sites and blogs, the bulk of the traffic goes to the posts. The homepage, the category and archive pages receive around 20% of the overall traffic, if that, while the posts receive 80%.

This means that plugins that act at post-level will consume most of your resources. Examples include plugins to change SEO aspects of your posts (e.g., All in One SEO Pack), plugins to display related posts and so on. As a result you should put an extra effort to either remove or optimize those plugins (more on that below).

4. Consider Substituting All In One SEO Pack

The All in One SEO Pack plugin is certainly one of the best SEO plugins around, but it’s also pretty intensive on the resources of your server. For small sites this won’t be a problem, but once your traffic starts growing you might start to feel it.

A good alternative is called Greg’s High Performance SEO. According to the author All in One SEO Pack outputs 2000 lines of code per page load/view, while Greg’s plugin output only 700 lines.

In my opinion the main benefit of those SEO plugins is the ability to customize the title tag. If that is the most important factor for you as well you can be even more extreme and use no plugin at all. Instead use the piece of code below to create optimized title tags for your posts:

<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(‘name’); }
elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo(‘name’); }
elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title();}
elseif (is_page() ) { single_post_title();}
else { wp_title(‘’,true); } ?></title>

5. Consider Substituting YARPP

Along with All In One SEO Pack there’s another plugin that is very popular and yet very resource intensive: YARPP (Yet Another Relate Posts Plugin).

One alternative you can consider is the Efficient Related Posts plugin. The main difference is that the database of related posts is updated only when a post is created/updated, while other plugins tend to build the list on the fly, whenever a post is loaded.

6. Optimize Your Database Tables

As with any dynamic content management system, great part of the work your WordPress site does is related to getting, storing, removing and updating information on its database. That’s why optimizing your database tables can affect your site’s performance.

A nice plugin you can use for this purpose is WP-Optimize. It will remove your post revisions, clean your comments (e.g., spam and deleted ones), run optimization queries and so on.

by Admin on October 19, 2011

I am receiving 50-100 emails per day that Google banned Pakistani publisher. This is common these days and Google is banning Pakistani websites faster as compared in the past. Don't know what's happening at backend but I am sure that Pakistan is flagged as a dangor area. Google thinks that Pakistani publishers are having totally invalid clicks.

One of my friend got this email from Google

Hello,

This includes any implementation that may encourage accidental clicks, such as placing ads near flash games or navigation bars, or placing ads and site links extremely close together.

WEBMASTER GUIDELINES: Our program specialists regularly review sites in the AdSense program.

It is important for a site displaying AdSense to offer significant value to the end user by providing unique and relevant content, and not to place ads on sites with little to no original content. Additionally, Google ads

While reviewing your site, our team of specialists determined that it does not comply with the spirit of these guidelines.
