Running Head:  GLOBAL STRATEGIES FOR SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION & WEB MARKETING

 Global Strategies for Search Engine Optimization & Web Marketing

By: Troy Johnson

MSM Program

10/27/2009

 

 Multinational corporations looking to bring their products to other countries through their websites many times make the mistake of believing the website will work fine in every new market.  This article introduces search engine optimization and it will discuss various strategies for successful online marketing in foreign markets.  As defined by www.wikipedia.com, “Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines.”  Search engine optimization or SEO brings free organic traffic.  Conversely, search engine marketing SEM is the use of paid placement for multiple keywords.  Both strategies are tested using a cost benefit analysis.  The research I provide in this article maximizes revenue and profit potential for web sellers.  I describe the differences between white hat and black hat SEO practices and the consequences of each.  Then I cover the application of international marketing principles to reduce costly cross border blunders.

 

I am the founder of Snowbirdseeker.com LLC., an online property management website that matches renters with seasonal rentals.  The results of this article are from a combination of my own experiences and several cited academic sources.  Since launching the site in June of 2008 I have learned search engine optimization through experience.  After the website development completed, I outsourced a team of search engine optimization professionals from India to jumpstart a marketing plan.  The SEO work they performed was slow and regardless of income disparities the project was very expensive.  The web development team was in my opinion great at writing code and making things work, but simple things like spelling and subject verb agreement were chronic issues.  Gradually some of their search engine submissions gained decent rank, but the effects on traffic were nominal.  Although they spoke English fairly well I did not feel the submissions were compelling and thus had a negative impact on our click through rate.  The SEO consultants were too expensive for the results which coincide with the findings of industry research.  “Buyers using search engines to look for information tend to trust and follow

links displayed in the editorial section of the search-results page. Most on-line sellers,however, do not invest in search engine optimization (SEO) to get higher search-results rankings for their listings, but instead prefer paid placements. They explain that SEO is

more expensive than paid placements, produces results that do not justify its cost, and does not consistently lead to high search-results rankings.”  (Sen, 2005) Cost may inhibit future expenditures on SEO professionals, but since listings in the free editorial section of search engines are more trusted by buyers, I decided to continue their marketing efforts.  However, this time I would be handling the SEO project using available research on the subject.

 

Search Engine Optimization Strategies

Before starting a SEO project it is important to familiarize yourself with words like keywords, click through rate, and metatags, that are part of the search engine vocabulary.  Keywords are those words or phrases that one uses to perform a search.  Using various keyword traffic and keyword competition estimators a list of keywords should be compiled for optimization.  With this list of keywords one can begin onsite and offsite optimization.  Onsite optimization involves adding the keywords in the content, title tags, meta tags, and even part of the domain address when possible.  Off site optimization is often referred to as link building and this is done by requesting inbound links from other webmasters, submitting press releases, and submitting articles.  The primary goal of the search engine optimizer is to make all components of the website search engine friendly.  The difficulty is trying to gain high page rank on each search engine when they all have different search algorithms.  Just because you rank high on one search engine does not mean that you will rank the same on the other.  For example if you search for “seasonal rentals” using Google you will not find my website’s listing, but if you perform the same search using Microsoft’s Bing search engine you will see Snowbirdseeker.com ranked among the top 10 results.  “The main hurdle to implementing an effective SEO program is the fact that each search engine has its own requirements, which means that a Web site optimized for one search engine is not necessarily optimized for the others. Pages optimized for Google, for instance, should clearly and accurately describe the content, and cannot participate in link-exchange schemes designed to the site’s ranking. But the same page is not necessarily optimized for Yahoo, which requires that pages not be automatically generated or of little “value,” and not participate in cross-linking sites just to inflate a site’s apparent popularity. The many different requirements make search-engine optimization much harder and arguably more costly to implement. In addition, SEO does not consistently result in high rankings and therefore leads to unpredictable traffic. This is because search engines tend to vary their ranking algorithms on “natural search listings,” and in response, SEO specialists have to “guess” and adapt to ever-changing strategies and tactics to either maintain their positions or improve their rankings.” (Sen, 2005)   

 

Keyword selection is often as important as actually optimizing the keywords themselves.  For instance I use the keyword “advertise vacation rentals” to attract potential rental owner members.  Anyone who searches for this keyword is likely looking for advertisement services and is more likely to post an ad than someone who searches for “vacation rental advertisements”.  Instead this keyword would attract someone looking to rent.  Both of these keywords could be useful since the premise and mission of my website is to help renters find rental owners and vice versa.  On the other hand it can be important to know which keywords are having a negative impact.  I used Google Analytics to monitor my visitors and their behavior to optimize the website for future visitors.  Google Analytics enables webmasters to track metrics on individual visitors like keyword used, pages viewed, Time spent, and bounce rate.  The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who leave the site after less than 20seconds.  SEO specialists can eliminate those keywords with exorbitant bounce rates.  Understanding how people perform searches is crucial to any web marketer.  “Another example: If you are writing news releases for law firms, for instance, you’ll want to know if searchers tend to use “lawyer,”"lawyers,” “attorney” or “attorneys” to search for a law firm. Or do the searchers type in auto accident lawyer into the search engine?  Keep in mind that most searchers will type “website” instead of’Web site” (AP Style) in the search field. You need to incorporate those kinds of particulars into the Web content to be sure that your organization is found.”  (Faulhaber, 2009)

 

PPC Advertising

Since I was frustrated with the slow progress that my original SEO team was making I asked them how I could get traffic faster.  They recommended using Google Adwords a pay per click program that enables any website owner to advertise on search engines.  This type of marketing is called search engine marketing SEM and I quickly learned that it is a very effective way to attract a target audience.  In the table below I show a typical advertising campaign summary.

Campaign Name

Status

Clicks

Impressions

CTR

CPC

Total cost

Find renters

Active

25

273

10.92%

.13

.25

     

Operation of Adwords programs is fairly straight forward, but you quickly learn there are many tools and factors that can affect your campaign’s success.  The above table shows various performance statistics on a text advertisement.  Clicks are the number of times a search engine user actually clicks on your advert.  Impressions are the number of times that the advertisement was shown in the results list.  The Click through rate CTR is impressions divided by clicks.  Since this is a pay per click program there is no charge for impressions that do not result in clicks.  I set my maximum cost per click CPC at .15 and I learned that Google’s software only charges you one cent above the next highest bidder.  In the above table there is a charge of .13 CPC which means that my closest competitor set a maximum CPC of .12.  The software also enables users to set daily budget limits.  I set my budget at .00/day and the program will usually stay at or near that limit.  When using Adwords web marketers can create text ads using the following parameters.  Headline 25 characters max then you can enter two lines of description at 35 characters max. each and finally the destination url address.  Below is an example of an effective ad that produced the results in the table.

Seasonal Rentals by Owner

Find vacation home, best rated site

Email owner free for best net rate

www.snowbirdseeker.com

Using the keyword selection tool I choose which keywords prompt my advertisement to be shown as an impression.  The program offers various tracking statistics to let the web marketer know which keywords are performing the best.  I found that when I used this program more visitors converted and became members of my website.  The Google Adwords program can be costly, but with practice it can turn profitable.  In retrospect I learned that the best way to plan for a SEO project is to first launch a comprehensive ad campaign using pay per click marketing.  This allowed me to find out which keywords and advertising phrases work best to bring traffic to my website.  It also is a great medium to test out website performance in foreign markets because the risk and investment are minimal.  For instance during one advertising campaign in Canada I learned that one rental owner could not pay the membership fee because the Paypal payment portal was not set up to accept Canadian addresses.  My experience as a web entrepreneur has taught me that the best way to uncover issues with websites is to use PPC advertising and listen for customer feedback. 

Foreign Market SEO

International marketers for multinational corporations need to be aware that while they may be optimizing their website in the domestic market the same website will not rank the same internationally.  Mark Jackson of Search Engine Watch says “If you were searching while in Canada, on google.ca, Google figures that domains with .ca might be a better result for you than .com. The top three rankings for “travel” on Google.ca are Expedia.ca, Expedia.com, and Yahoo Canada Travel.”  (Jackson, 2009)  This finding is interesting because the Expedia.com page has many times more indexed links than Expedia.ca.  Under normal circumstances Google would place a higher rank on the site with higher indexed pages and better title tags, but in this case Google believes the better result is the .ca domain.

 

Business executives are notorious for cutting costs, so it is not surprising to learn of their multidomestic approach to website marketing.   Some website executives only offer their content stating that adding content in a foreign language would be expensive.  The leading international marketers will seek access to every foreign market regardless of language.  “One researcher suggests that if a Web site does not have at least multiple languages, a company is losing sales. It is the company’s responsibility to bridge the language and cultural gap; the customer will not bother—he or she will simply go to a site that speaks his or her language. As discussed, culture does count, and as competition increases, a country-specific Web site may make the difference between success and failure.” (O’keefe,2002)  It is possible that you may be able to achieve some sales in foreign markets using an English only website, but gradually this will affect customer repurchase loyalty.  International marketers cannot expect that simply optimizing their website in the foreign markets language will protect them from foreign litigation.  Companies must also be aware that 1st amendment rights are not universal in each country.  International marketers should be familiar with the political and legal environment of each country that they are entering with their website’s services.

 

White Hat vs. Black Hat SEO

With a basic knowledge of search engine optimization one only needs to study white hat vs. black hat SEO before executing the project.  Essentially white hat optimizers do so ethically and are not trying to mislead their visitors or the search engines.  On the other hand black hat SEO practitioners manipulate data, keywords, html code, and they create pages not visible to humans that are to boost a site’s rank.  Using white hat practices and avoiding most black hat practices will usually be the best strategy to rank well and avoid too much attention from search engine management.  “However, certain SEO techniques directly violate the guidelines published by the search engines. While the specific guidelines vary a bit, they can all be summed up as: show the same content to search engines as you show to users. Failure to conform to search engine guidelines can lead to penalties, such as worse placement in the SERPs or an outright ban from the search engine.” (Malaga, 2008)  Early black hat SEO specialists used html text that was the same color as the background to boost ranking on the search engines, while showing human visitors a different message.  Search engines quickly caught on to this behavior and penalized sites for using the practice.  Black hat practitioners also set up hundreds and sometimes thousands of blogs with a link to their website and then they would continually ping the blogs causing indexing spiders to crawl the blogs and rank the linked site higher.  This practice is still in use today by white hat professionals who might create 20 blogs and ping them only when a legitimate update has been made to the website.  The field of search engine optimization is like any industry in that ultimately ethical conduct will be rewarded.

 

I described and introduced search engine optimization and website marketing.  I analyzed data from my own pay per click advertising campaign.  Based on the results I was able to conclude that SEM or PPC marketing should receive more marketing budget than SEO efforts.  Since SEO could not produce consistent high rankings on all of the search engines at once web marketers should continue relying on their Google Adwords program to target their customers.  However, this does not mean that SEO should be discarded because my findings suggest that users trust the listings in the editorial section of the search engine results over those in the sponsored advertisement field.  Furthermore, listings with high ranks in the editorial section bring traffic for free.  I discovered the best way to create a SEO plan is to first run a pay per click ad campaign to learn which keywords and phrases work best.  My research also revealed that domain extensions are very important when marketing internationally.  As a result of my SEO efforts I have tripled site traffic.  International marketers that plan to sell their products abroad need to apply international marketing principles to all aspects of their business including website design.  In web search engine marketing if you are not appearing you are disappearing.

SOCIAL NETWORKING & SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

SOCIAL NETWORKING &  SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

 © Dean Bouridis, 2009

Dean Bouridis BA, CDM, BSA

  

1.0       EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 The convergence of retail and community building online has become known as “social networking”.  This online phenomenon is spreading across the globe. Nearly all internet users are being engaged in some aspect of this online activity.  It ranges from social shopping, networking to community building.

  

2.0              SEARCH ENGINE OVERVIEW

 In light of the rapidly growing phenomenon termed social networking, the ultimate goal of search engines is to adopt a risk management program that will enhance the customer experience; to create repeat sales and enthusiastic word-of-mouth referrals. To accomplish this, an effective program has to be driven by the organization’s business operating environment.  An organization has to maintain an environment that meets:

 -          Customer’s expectations. 

-          Operational business needs

 An organization is challenged with the on-going need to focus on, evaluate and improve each of its functional services.

 

 2.1       Keywork Search Optimization

 Some online loyalty programs operate as a means to simply encourage customers to stick with a particular brand. Other programs encourage customers to throw more business towards a company, by establishing tiers.  They use incentive programs that offer greater rewards for increased levels of spending.

 The leading search engine is positioned on top of the evolving web mosaic.  Their unique positioning allows the search engine to maintain its competitive advantage by:

 -          Monitoring any area of growth

-          Acquiring the first position for any area they want to compete in.

 To maintain their position, the leading search engines adopt a marketing strategy which has the flexibility to reposition them in the marketplace when deemed necessary.  If the organization is uncertain of their competitive positioning, they have on occasion listed their services alongside a couple of other competitors.  Often they have demonstrated they will maintain this positioning until their internal stats show their product is superior.  The leader in the industry has mastered the concept that offering free exposure along with free benchmarking equates to great advantages.

 

3.0       SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

 3.1              Keyword Tools

 To optimize search engine keywords (SEO) There are many free or low-cost keyword tools one can use within the social networking environment.  The search engine Google for example uses the AdWords keyword tool as a focus of its innovative business models. Adwords is associated with the pay per click concept.  Adwords is still one of Google’s main sources of revenues.

 A percentage of business owners that want to make money online are taking advantage of innovative internet marketing strategies and internet advertising.  Businesses that use Google AdSense ads for instance make money online on the front end, and by writing articles on the back end.

 Google AdSense is positioned to allow advertisers to get both targeted traffic and sales, – but so is everyone else.  However, by writing articles, the Internet marketers who incorporate Google AdSense, can also make more money online, if done properly with this internet marketing strategy.

  

3.2       Keyword Positioning Strategies

 The objective of applying key word search techniques is to meet client needs with minimal effort.  This equates to higher profits, better budgeting and a faster return on investment.  It is accomplished by managing the web site’s traffic relative to the investment output.  The impact of the key word searches, is measured by the competitiveness of the data used as well as the popularity of the applied data.  The right competitive mix of keyword search usage allows the search engine to be optimized; to measure the traffic on investment of any keywords. 

 

3.3       Search Engine Optimization

 To optimize the search engine performance, one has to take into account certain factors.  For example, one has to equate a webmaster’s degree of intent to compete.  They also have to mitigate any obstacle that may impede the ranking for a targeted keyword

 Other factors to take into account include:

-          data integrity

-          impact of automated searches

-          manipulation of data collected by search engines

-          relativity and consistency

-          seasonal data

-          private keyword sources

 

 4.0       SEO OPTIMIZATION  STRATEGIES

 4.1       Effective Online Search Marketing

Effective search engine marketing is an ongoing qualified measurement and improvement program.  Such a program has to constantly scrutinize the statistical data being collected to optimize the search engine marketing campaign.  Adjustments have to be made regularly for the highest possible return on investment.

 A reliable internet online marketing experience is mandatory to provide services such as:

 -          Building professional, search engine friendly web sites

-          Making the best presentation of your company to potential clients

-          Branding in the global marketplace

-          Structuring paid search marketing campaigns

-          Designing landing pages that convert to leads

-          Creating dynamic web content

-          Providing measurable results

 The goal of keyword researches is to obtain search volume estimates.  This is essential to maximize search engine optimization. An organization wants to make sure their online subscribers are expanding their efforts on the most leveraged keywords. Usually these are the keywords or terms with the most searches.

 

4.2       Maximizing Return in Investment

 To maximize the return on your investment, one has to closely monitor certain keyword search variables. 

 4.2.1        Keyword Matches

 Keyword searches are impacted by:

 -          Total Matches

-          Exact Matches

-          InURL Matches

-          InAnchor Matches

-          InTitle matches

-          inText Matches

 

4.2.2        Page Links

 The strength of a site’s inbound links is related to the page ranking applied by the search engine. To determine the strength of the inbound links in relation to its derived page ranking, one has to understand the driving force and resulting impact of the search engine’s page ranking? The page rank of the URL is in essence a function of all back links pointing to it. These back links come from inside and outside the domain.

 Furthermore, pages are ranked based on a series of variables:

 -          Ranking Page Links

-          Ranking Page PageRank

-          Ranking Page In Title

-          Ranking Page inText, etc.

 Another goal of keyword searches is to ensure your domain is properly ranked.  Variations on the key phrases one has selected within their domain can have a significant impact of your search engines’ optimization. Sometimes the first phrase that comes to mind isn’t the first one to come to the searcher’s mind.  For instance, if you’re selling a technical product or one that involves technical jargon, a person may not relate to the terminology used within your domain.

 

4.2.3    Domain Ranking

 Domains are ranked as follows:

 -          Ranking Domain Links

-          Ranking Domain PageRank

-          Ranking Domain Age

 Following the above noted matrix guidelines will allow the search engine to be optimized for your Internet marketing campaign.  You should start to measure the increasing return on your on-line marketing campaign’s investment.

 Keep close tabs on key PPC (pay-per-click) metrics such as CTR (click-through-rate) and conversion rates by keyword, as well as quality score. Tweak your campaign by dialing down losers and boosting winners. The goal here isn’t only to gather data, but ideally to get conversions as well!

 

5.0 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

 5.1 Evaluating New Technologies

 Investing in the Search Engine Optimization strategies – information technology solution is an important part of staying competitive with potentially positive impacts on growth, risk, and online marketing outcomes.

fields and the electronic data records. This entails the planning for and executing projects to meet

business and target marketing objectives.

 

5.2       Business Analysis Project Scope:

 Within the scope of the project the Business Analyst will examine the Search Engine Optimization -

information technology solution:

 1. How the technology is utilized to mitigate key risk factors such as errors in keyword identification and delays in search report availability

2. What’s available and what’s on the in automation, including interfacing with processing devices as well as new labeling technologies

3. Integrating data from multiple sources into a single data record (inbound results)

4. Training – as new technologies emerge or become available, how do you build the necessary skill sets?

 

5.3       Target Marketing

 Evolving Standards of Keyword Searches:

 - Is the standard advancing in a particular field?

- Does the peer-reviewed literature and regulators support the advance?

- Do users and stakeholders expect the highest standard, and if so, what is the liability risk of not upgrading?

 Search Engine Outcomes:

 - What effect will the new technology have on keyword search outcomes?

- Will outcomes improve, stay the same, or worsen?

 Workflow Efficiencies:

 - What impact will the new technology have on workflow efficiencies?

- Will it increase capacity?

- What effects will it have on human resources in terms of increased revenue streams and return on investment?

- Will it improve operations?

- Can the technology be incorporated into a lean operation?

 Differentiation:

 - Does the technology allow you to stand out from other web sites?

- Is it a marketing differentiator?

  

5.4       Working with the Technology Partner:

 Does the Search Engine Optimization – information technology solution have a proven implementation team that will analyze specific business needs and customize the solution to meet them?

  

5.5              Support Resources:

 Does the Search Engine Optimization – information technology solution provide support resources for

marketing, training, and educational opportunities?

Amadeus Consulting Discusses: What is Search Engine Optimization?

559 Comments

On a modern article on MarketWatch.com, a site tied in with the Wall Street Journal, BARRON’s and other ample names, author John Dvorak made some absorbing comments on what he sees as “Search-Engine Subterfuge.” Although Mr. Dvorak’s perspective is rightly from a business standpoint, as it relates to Google™’s two-dimensional running along stock prices, his perspective on what is happening in the world of search is surprisingly misinformed

Unfortunately, the negative impression of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) presented in this article is not unique to Mr. Dvorak. In fact, few people outside of the industry really understand what Search Engine Optimization is, what it does, and how it works

Even though Amadeus Consulting is primarily a custom software development company, we do deal heavily in online technologies and have go very acquainted with the capabilities and necessity of Search Engine Optimization. So we would like to render some insight for anyone still mostly unacquainted with the concept

Understanding Search:

Search engines are a very important aspect to finding information online. Search engines, much as Google, Yahoo®, Bing™, or many others, process your inquiry and bring forth results tied in to that inquiry

For example, if you type in “Wedding Photographer” into your loved search engine, it will bring forth millions of results that tie in to wedding photographers, photography, and weddings. But how do search engines make up one’s mind which results to place first, since any of the top results are directly applicable to your search?

This is actually a very complicated process, and it varies slightly depending on the search engine, which is why you may not get the same results in Bing as you would in Google. In general, the process includes the following steps:

A “bot” (automated program) scans each site on the Internet.When the bot finds a new site, or a site that has been changed, it catalogs the site.This catalog includes information about the content, the topics, and hundreds of other bits of information about your site.This information is then hived away in a database, which is then utilized to bring forth results when you type and inquiry into the search engine.

The most important thing to understand is that this is entirely automated. Nobody at Google decides which websites should rank above others. Instead, they are constantly fine-tuning their systems so that the software becomes smarter and better competent to pull off your requests

How Does Search Engine Optimization Effect Search Engine Rankings?

Search engine optimization does exactly what it says: it is a process for optimizing websites so that search engines can understand them

Search Engine Optimization helps design and configure websites so that the search engine software can more easily interpret them. It does this by assisting abide by with a perplexed set of standards, sometimes named “best practices or “rules.”

Each search engine sets its own rules – or the aspects of a site that they deem important for ranking. These search engines can change the rules without notice, and search engines have no requirement to state you what the rules are, or how to properly postdate them. However, cognizing the rules and biding by them can greatly benefit you and your site

As previously mentioned, the rules change very frequently. In fact, Google made over 400 changes to “the rules” last year alone. Most of these changes are pretty insignificant, meaning that they only impact a little number of sites, or a few very ad hoc languages. However, some of these are very crucial rules. Search Engine Optimization professionals postdate these changes and conform their websites so that they correspond the types of things that the search engine is appearing for

This includes:

Special tags and information that is rendered explicitly for the search engine (Users never see this)Guidance to search engines on how a website is setup (a map of the site), and what pages are on the siteInformation about the subject matter and content of a siteInformation on the importance of  your site (who else links to content on your site)Selection of democratic search terms tied in to your site

None of this is magic, mysterious, devious or underhanded. In fact, most of it is clearly documented as “best practices” that search engines prefer that you use. Of course there are many other aspects that go into Search Engine Optimization (we’ve barely touched on the basics), but the little version is Search Engine Optimization creates or modifies websites so that search engines can understand them

Does this sound like something a web designer should do already?  Yes!  This is exactly why we at Amadeus Consulting are so familiar with it. However, as adverted above, with hundreds of better and insignificant changes made each year, it is advantageous to have a team of people with blended specialties. This way you have someone who can focus on Search Engine Optimization as a main aspect of their job, and others who can keep up on the other aspects of web development that are changing equally as fast.. Otherwise it becomes too much for one person to track, and quality begins to endure

The Benefits to Search Engine Optimization

Ranking in the top results on a search engine can be extremely profitable. This is perhaps one of the reasons some people view it as underhanded – because a lot of money may be made or lost depending on your rank

Part of the reason is that the top ranked results receive a vast majority of clicks (meaning that people visit the top ranked site more frequently). In fact, approximately 60% of searchers will click the top graded link, whereas only 13% will click the second link. The results only decline from there

Another benefit is that a top ranked link also creates impressions even to those who do not click it. In other words, 100% of the people that search for a specific keyword will see your site in the rankings. This can be beneficial later on to creating brand awareness or in other marketing efforts

Lastly, people still prefer organic rankings over paid advertising. Of course, you can buy Pay-Per-Click ads that appear along with some search results, but approximately 3 out of every 4 people using Google will still click the natural ranked results, rather than any of the ads

The Most Important Search Engine Optimization Rule

There is one rule that is king above all: Creating a site that an user will enjoy. This means providing useful content, creating a site that is easy to use for all types of users, and providing clear information

Despite all the hype and emphasis on ranking and Search Engine Optimization, we still need to provide content that people want to view

At some point in the future, search engine bots will be able to see websites almost exactly as a human sees them, which will essentially morph Search Engine Optimization professionals into Usability Experts. We’re not there yet, but ultimately even if you rank in a top spot in Google, without acceptable and attractive content, a passable site, and unclouded topics and relevancy, your site will never be boffo
