Why you need to filter SEO recommendations for website promotion
Why you need to filter SEO recommendations for website promotion
The scope of SEO is difficult to call dark – in addition to the generous recommendations from Google, which the company publishes in its blogs, we are here and there stumble on expert advice on website promotion. At one time, I studied hundreds of strategies to improve the ranking and read more news about the latest updates to have the maximum amount of information about changes in algorithms and new technologies.
As a rule, all the recommendations that we read on authoritative sources and blogs from niche professionals can be called good, because they are concrete and supported by facts. However, my advice to you: if you are a private optimizer and want to succeed in SEO, do not get carried away by the advice of experts and, especially, amateurs.
Stop. Why?
I understand that I can seem hypocritical to you. After all, I just told you not to get carried away with advice, while my job is to give you these very recommendations. Moreover, this article is a recommendation! Therefore, I want to immediately warn you that I do not encourage you to stop listening to experts from this industry and do everything your own way. Rather, I want you to always:
1. Check the facts several times. If you see that the author is claiming some thing (especially if it causes you doubts), do not follow the thought “He / she knows what he’s talking about.” Look for similar statements in other sources, analyze the arguments of other experts and draw your conclusions.
2. Do not blindly follow all tactics. You should always understand what you are doing and why, before you try any tactics. And remember the consequences.
3. We tried something new. Devote part of your time to experimenting with your own strategies. Of course, this way is full of risks, but do not forget that any experiments bring us the most valuable – experience.
Now I will explain why all this should be done.
SEO promotion does not have a single algorithm
Firstly, there is no strategy in SEO that would fit everyone at once. What works in one area of business can be completely useless in another. For example:
● Traditional and local search engine optimization work on different algorithms. The success of local SEO depends on a certain set of tactics and strategies that do not suit you, if you want, figuratively speaking, to conquer the whole world, and not a separate city.
● Competition can either become the basis of your strategy, or destroy it. If someone influential publishes information that the home page of his site has risen three positions in the issuance of a certain keyword after he released one video every week, this does not mean that you will get the same. One of the reasons is competition in your niche: if it is too much, then you will not go far ahead, and if it is not enough, you may not even have to try so hard to overtake the opponent. Think about how you can stand out!
● There are thousands of factors (and their combinations) that affect the ranking. SEO is a very complex and confusing phenomenon. Even though we know a lot about the basic ranking signals, it will always be difficult for us to understand what exactly affects our specific situation. Everyone has his own path.
People unintentionally disseminate false information
Due to the fact that the industry is developing at a frenzied pace, no one is surprised that information about SEO very quickly becomes irrelevant. Many publishers and professionals involved in the promotion of sites, thirst to be the first in the publication of sensational news, not always delving into them to the end.
As a result, it turns out that on the resources of various kinds there is unconfirmed information with loud headlines, which misleads readers. It spreads very quickly, and many people remember it.
People deliberately disseminate false information
However, in addition to freshly-billed SEO professionals who like to stay ahead of events and do not quite understand what is being said, the Internet is filled with experts who are deliberately spreading false data. I often meet with them on forums and in little-known blogs.
As a rule, such people offer cheap promotion services and use black SEO tactics, telling their client that they can get thousands of high-quality links with perfect anchor text for a day – all for $ 100. Beginners in the industry are committed to this and agree to cooperate, not knowing that it is for such tactics that websites receive fines from Google.
Of course, this is just one example of fraud in the field of search engine optimization, but, believe me, there are a lot of such characters on the web. To a person who has just launched his business, it can be difficult to navigate the prices and, let’s say, feel the people with whom he is going to work. It is these newcomers that become the main target for charlatans.
The best way to learn something new is to experiment
According to a study conducted by young scientists at the University of Chicago, it is much easier for a person to remember some order of actions if he does it, rather than just reading about them. You can surf the SEO sites every day, but until you launch your campaign, do SEO analysis, create content and do not evaluate and analyze your site, all this will remain in theory.
There is no mysticism and magic in this. Agree, we are better at what we do most often. Accordingly, if you really immerse yourself in the sphere of SEO, then you will learn how to intuitively feel what you need to do for success, you can easily solve some problems and accumulate an invaluable experience. It is possible that over time you will develop your own tactics that will lead you to success, and the existence of which no expert in the industry suspected.
Conclusion
In general, I can tell you that reading SEO recommendations is useful. This will help you learn a lot about this area, become more versatile, and inspire you to new thoughts and actions. However, do not rely solely on other people’s advice and take them at face value.
If you want to achieve the best results, then you should listen, not listen, always check the facts for reliability, independently analyze the information received and experiment. About torture is your most powerful weapon.

Seo or Search engine optimization basic approach of Search
Seo or Search engine optimization basic approach of Search
Yes, we already knew the meaning of SEO or search engine optimization but the question here is how to optimize it. Basically, SEO is about two things: On Page Optimization and Off Page Optimization. In this article I will discuss what does On Page Optimization means and what factors that needs to be optimized. Let me start with identifying On Page Factors. These are all objects in a website. These are html codes, keywords, keyword density, keyword proximity, keyword prominence, domain name, URL structures, sitemaps, htaccess, robot.txt and even the content. On Page Optimization is basically optimizing all on page factors. On Page Factors:
Keywords Keywords are very important part in SEO. People who are new in internet industry need to research the right keywords to increase traffic in their websites. Did you remember the “Phone Directory Theory” from my first article? Even though you offer the best products with the best prices offered all over the world but your website were buried under many other websites there is no point of having a website because you will surely have lesser traffic or if worst comes to worst you might not have any traffic at all. This why we need to research for the right keywords that suits to your business. In order to find the right keywords, should visualize what your target market might be searching to find your website and optimize that keyword to increase your visibility on search engines. Keywords can be classified into two kinds: 1. Short tailed, 2. long tailed. Short keywords are broad keywords, meaning you might be targeting large market group while long tailed keywords are targeting smaller market group.
Search engine optimization basic approach of Search 2017
Content Content is the next essential part in SEO. This where you will convince your target market to purchase your products, that is why content was called “The King”. The discipline of creating articles for online purposes is different from articles for magazines, newspaper and other publications. The difference between an article made for online purposes and the other publications made for offline distributions is the number of keywords being repeated throughout your article provided you should observe three important things which are keyword density, keyword proximity, and keyword prominence.
Keyword density This is the most critical aspects of successful search engine optimization. Basically, Keyword density is the ratio of keyword or key phrases to the total number of words on a webpage. Keyword density is calculated by dividing the total of number of words on your page by the number of times of your primary keyword or key phrase you place all over your page. The recommend percentage of keyword density was around 2 – 4 %.
Keyword proximity Keyword Proximity refers to how close between two or more keywords, the closer the keywords the better.
Keyword prominence Keyword Prominence refers to how close to the top your keywords are within a webpage. It is recommended to place keywords that are important at, or near, the start of a webpage, sentence, TITLE or META Tag.
Html Codes This refers to the overall appearance of your website.
Content or In page text Text codes refer to the appearance of your content. These are the “b”, “i”, “h1″, “h2″, “h3″, “h4″, “h5″, “h6″, “h7″. These codes emphasize your keywords and let search engines know that they are important.
Title tags Title tag refers to the title of your webpage. For better rankings you can include your keywords in it.
Meta Tags Meta Tags are information inserted into the area of your webpage. Although search engines do not give too much importance, it can be useful on your webpage. There are many kinds of Meta Tags, but will only discuss to you the most important among them. They are the following:
Seo Services in Detroit Company
Meta Keywords Meta Keywords allows you to provide additional text information for crawler based search engines to index along with your body. This is where you will put your keywords. This also helps search engines to come up for synonyms, misspellings or unusual words that do not appear within your webpage.
Meta Description Meta Description allows you to influence the description of your page for search engines that supports it.
Alt Tags Because images are not recognized by search engines, we need to insert descriptions in Alt tags. Inserting keywords in Alt tags also increase traffic; some experts usually refer to this as Image Optimization.
Domain Name Domain Name also has an impact on search engines especially if you put your keywords in it. With this reason, lots of people buy lots of domains that have keywords in it and sold it with much higher value. If you are targeting only in your region, you should purchase domains that is specially made in your target region. Ex. [https://www.domain.au], https://www.domain.ph, etc. Google gives high importance of domains with .gov, .edu.
URL Structure Internal pages and its structures are important for accessibility of your target viewers and spider.
Sitemap Sitemap has two purposed: 1. Search Engines, 2. End users. For search engines, sitemap help to speed up the crawling specially those deep links. While for End users, sitemap help them to navigate your whole website.
Robots.txt Robots.txt was used to exclude or provides restrictions to search engine robots to crawl an unwanted file in your server.
.htaccess An .htaccess file is a simple ASCII file, such as you would create through a text editor like notepad or SimpleText. Many people seem to have some confusion over the naming convention for the file, so let me get that out of the way. .htaccess is the file extension. It is not file.htaccess or somepage.htaccess, it is simply named .htaccess.
Now that you know the basics of On Page Optimization and its factors that you need to optimize, you should better wait for the continuation of this article.

social media optimization
Social Media Optimization A Popular New Trend that Breaks from Search Engine Optimization
Social media optimization (SMO) is similar to search engine media optimization. The goal of SMO is to drive huge amounts of people to a specific website. Social media optimization can also be used to determine whether or not a startup website will be successful or whether it will fall flat with the consumers. SMO uses new to encourage traffic to a website. SMO was a name created by Rohit Bharagava, the vice president of Interactive marketing.
SMO is online tools and platforms that can be used to share opinions, insights, and perspectives. It cant take many forms such as text, images, audio, and video. Popular forms of social media optimization are currently blogs, pod casts, message boards, vlogs, and wikis. SMO is anything that builds a community where people can rendezvous. Social media optimization normally includes websites that can be used as a platform to send out a marketing message.
Social Media Optimization Services
Social media optimization is not something that can be for
ced. It is considered a type of pull marketing; it only works if people are drawn to it. Search engine optimization has clear goals. Webmasters who use search engine optimization want to have a website that ranks well with the search engines.
The goals of webmasters who are trying to use social media optimization are; an increase in linkabilty, easy book marking, mash-up, inbound links, and helping content travel.
The rules webmasters who are using social media optimization need to live by are, rewarding valuable (helpful) users, and they need to make sure they are a user resource.
Webmasters who are using a SMO technique should make sure they participate with their users. You need to be a part of the blogs and the message boards.
Webmasters that are employing a social media optimization technique must know their target audience. Moreover, if you buy likes make sure they are from real people for there are a lot of swindlers on the internet these days. You need to know what appeals to that particular group of people. It is important to remember that not everybody will love you.
Make sure you have created content. One of the words typically associated with social media optimization is mashup. The origins of the word, mashup, gets it start in the pop music world. Mashup is a website of application that works to combine content from more then one source into an integrated experience. A mashup is sometimes created as a way to gather feedback on an existing project or body of work. Most companies use a third party via public interface. Google, Amazon, Yahoos! APIs, eBay, AOL, and Windows Live are some of the companies currently experimenting with mashups.
Despite the fact that social media optimization is a relatively new concept, some people believe that social media optimization will be one of the top seven marketing trends of 20007 along with; sharing corporate personalities, widget marketing, auto tagging, human filtered searches, content casting, and online identity shifting.
SMO is something that encourages a fun social environment.
10 Characteristics To Look For When Choosing A Web Designer
Are you looking for a web designer to get your website design projects done? Hiring a web designer is a crucial decision and there are a number of factors that should be considered while choosing a web designer for your website design projects.
Experience
One should find out how long their website developer or website agency has been in business and what type of projects they have worked on. There are many models for websites, and often someone whose past experience with a similar client type will be an advantage to you.
Past experiences with similar business types should lead to quicker discovery because that website designer knows what options there are and what questions to ask. Also, make sure that your developer is working with modern technologies and best industry practices, no matter if they know your business model or not.
Modern practices lead to better search engine results and good usability across multiple browser types and operating systems.
Development Skillset
Although this may be harder to hone in on, ask your website developer or website agency about their skill set and attention to best and industry standards. Ask if they are using most modern HTML coding, high quality CSS for best cross browser compatibility, smart basic search engine optimization practices, and a site that is foundational in that you can add more pages or content down the line. You may want to ask how far their technical strengths are in custom programming, ecommerce, content management system development, or other skills if you know you may need them.
If you want to sell products online, you will need a website developer who has a lot of experience in ecommerce design and development. Often, as a company uses the web more and more, business owners find they need more than one person do handle all skill sets needed for a particular website project.Website Portfolio
A website company’s work will most often speak for itself. Decide if you like their website design portfolio.
A design portfolio will show you what styles a website company can deliver and what type of features to expect in their page designs. When you look at a website design portfolio, you can form questions about those designs that may lead to a better design for you. If you see something you really like one of the website designer or website agency designs, you can point out what you like about it, what you want, and what you do not want.Client References
Ask for your website designer’s client references. Who better to talk to than current and past clients? One should not feel strange about asking for this.
A website is often not a small investment and one should be sure he or she knows what the website developer’s customers are saying. You may want to talk to client’s who have similar projects to yours.Strategy
A website project requires proper preparation, attention to detail, collaboration, and more. Organization becomes as important as any of these items.
You will want a website designer who can effectively communicate with you and your personnel, from project start to project completion. If you need a hand holder, hire a hand holder. If you want someone who will come in for planning meetings once a week as part of the project, hire someone who can commit to that.
A website developer needs to have organizational tools in place to keep the project on time and can get all involved to meet deadlines in order to meet time goals. Ask your website developer how a project process will go and see that you can agree to meeting times and other requirements for good outcome.
Availability
If you know when you need your website to go live, make sure your website developer will be able to make him or herself available to meet your deadline. If they have many projects at once, make sure they will make your project as important and will meet your time requirements.
Flexibility
On the other hand, if you require a designer who can be more flexible and accommodate you when you can make time, see that this can be done. If you know you want many designs or may change your mind in the middle of the project as to what direction you want to go, make sure you developer knows this and can work with you.
Developers may require more or less money depending on the flexibility you need. If you need the flexibility, however, the change in price may be an easier decision that if you did not.Location
Website designers have the luxury and flexibility to work wherever they have a computer with their website design software tools and utilities. Some designers are less flexible in that they require the ability to work from home or from an office that is provided for them.
A website client must determine what type of communication is required, especially when considering websites will need updates. Your website designer will probably be someone you will work with for quite a while if all goes well.
If your business is in Los Angeles, California for example, and you require someone to visit your office once a month, you should probably hire a website designer who lives in Los Angeles or nearby.Education
Many website designers teach themselves or take specific courses in school to be able to do what they can do. A degree is not a requirement, as nothing speaks for itself like a good website design portfolio, but a degree in a related field does add credibility.
Degrees in Marketing, Graphic Design, Business (with emphasis in e-business), Communication, Programming, Sociology, and Psychology are additional assets. Often, when an agency is hired, they will have people with various degrees. Many eyes on your projects from diverse backgrounds may help better user experiences for all personality types.
Personality
Do you like your web designer’s attitude, their tone, and the way they dress and present themselves when in your company? Make sure you feel comfortable with the website designer you choose because you will most likely work with this person for a long time.
Websites need updates and website trends change. You will want a website developer who will communicate with you about all of the things you can or should be doing with your website. Again, do you like the people you are about to hire?
Using Mobile Apps To Promote a Business
Many Businesses around the globe are starting to realize how powerful Mobile Apps for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Blackberry and Windows Mobile can be in advertising and promoting their products and services.
This is not a new idea and apps are not new. They have been around since Steve Jobs presented the concept in 2007. Now there are over 565,000 apps in the US iTunes store alone!
Here in Kelowna and the Okanagan we are seeing that very very very few businesses have taken advantage of this incredibly powerful mobile marketing and advertising medium.
There is nothing like a mobile app to brand, advertize and market your business.
Many people think of an app as a game or a tool or utility. They don’t realize that an app can promote a business, product, service or group like no other media that is in use. This not only includes print advertising, TV and Radio but includes all the current internet marketing methods like web sites, blogs, podcasts, Youtube video advertising, SEO or Search Engine Optimization.
Apps have the ability to carry on a two way connection with a prospect or customer like nothing else can. They give the business owner the ability to “Push” information to the app user. They don’t have to wait for the customer or prospect to “Pull” information in about them.
A Custom Mobile Application or App for your business will give you tools like
• Push Notifications
• Digital Coupon offerings
• Digital Loyalty Rewards programs
• Branded QR Code Scanner
• Branded Digital Voice Recorder
• Branded Note Pad
• Events for your business or things your customers want to know about
• Call You or Email You from the App
• View your website in the app
• Turn by Turn Directions to you with the maps and gps of the smartphone
• A platform for showing your “Proof” about your business
• Photo gallery
• Show off your facebook, twitter or Youtube channels
• Featured Listings if your are in Real Estate
These are just a few of the tools available. Follow Duckworth Consultants Blog here on KelownaAppDevelopment.com to learn more about what tools are available and how a custom app will help your business like no other media can.
At Duckworth Consultants we also will help you develop any type of app. Have an app idea that you would like to sell in iTunes or Google Play? We provide this service as well. We help you develop the idea and teach the things to have in a successful app. How to drive down loads of you app. Even how to set up your own developer accounts so you can made money with your own app idea, like a game or a utility app.
