  6. Search Engine Optimization Google’s Ranking Algorithm 2012-2014

  7. On-Page SEO • Title Tag • Meta Description • Authorship • Keyword Research – Google Planner http://blog.kissmetrics.com/google-authorship/

  8. Great Content • Google’s Goal is is to provide users the best experience. So have great content that’s conversational and engaging. • No duplicate content. • InfoGraphics • Images • Videos

  9. Keywords in Your Content • You need to include the keywords you are trying to rank for in your content…but don’t keyword stuff. Make it conversational. • Google loves lots of text. If you want to rank include 1000+ words, an image, a video and more. Your chances of ranking are higher than someone with only 500 words of only text.

  10. Other On-Page Factors • User Experience (people scrolling & clicking) • Load Speed (under 1 second) • Responsive Design • No Duplicate Images / Content • Internal Linking (linking pages within your site to other pages within your website) • Have recommended content after every post

  11. Off-Page Factors • Number of High Authority Sites Linking to Your Website (backlinks) • Social Signals (Facebook likes, Google+, Tweets, Pins, Social Bookmarks) • These 2 Factors are Over 60% of SEO!

  12. Great Sites to Get Links From • Gawker • Deadspin • Lifehacker • Gizmodo • Buzzfeed (anyone can submit) • Academia.edu • iReporter CNN • Yahoo Voices

  13. Wikipedia Hack • Fixing Broken Links – amazing link juice • http://www.quicksprout.com/2014/01/29/7-essential-ingredients-every-seo-campaign-needs/

  14. Rank Yelp Listings

  15. How? • Backlinks • Where do you get them? • Fiverr – buy social bookmarking links and pyramids. • How do you check backlinks? • Ahrefs.com • Opensiteexplorer.com • Alexa Toolbar for Chrome

  16. Fiverr

  17. Rank Videos • Every business should be on Youtube • Buy Fiverr backlinks to rank • Buy real views for $.02 • Buy comments, likes, views from Fiverr after one week. • Google loves video and it has high CTR

  18. This is Me!

  19. But… • Don’t send Fiverr links to your website. Just send links to authority sites like Youtube, Yelp, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter. Why? Even if the links are low quality, it won’t affect the authority of Youtube (for example). But sending a bunch of low quality links to your main site would decrease your rank.

  20. Guest Blogging • Guest blogging is one of the most powerful methods for getting traffic and links • Get into the sites mentioned earlier + relevant blogs in your industry • Ex. This blog is perfect for a dentisthttp://www.dentistryiq.com/articles/2013/09/why-every-dentist-should-participate-in-dentistry-from-the-heart.html

  21. InfoGraphics • Create an InfoGraphic – which is a big image that is educational and entertaining • People love sharing them on social sites and they generate links. • http://crawfordandobrien.com/phoenix-reputation-management/ • Order infographics on fiverr.com at • http://fiverr.com/vlad22/send-you-the-infographics-mega-pack-with-80-very-high-quality-and-completely-editable-infographics-that-pros-use

  22. Example of an InfoGraphic

  23. InfoGraphic Directories • http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/06/11/5-ways-to-get-your-infographic-to-go-viral/ • Daily InfoGraphics • Cool InfoGraphics • Love InfoGraphics • If these sites publish your infographic, you get a high quality link to your website!

  24. Anchor Text • Anchor text is the words that someone actually clicks when they click a link. • Ex. Click Here is anchor text. • http://crawfordandobrien.com can be anchor text. • You need to diversify your anchor text and not stuff your anchor text with all your keywords

  25. Use Ahrefs.com

  26. Mix Up Your Anchor Text • 30% of your anchor text should be conversational! • 20% should be your company name • 10% keywords you want to rank for • 10% variations of keywords to rank for • 10% should be “click here” or “learn more” • 10% should be http://yourdomain.com • 10% should be the title of your page

  27. Quick Action Plan for Fast Rankings • Keyword Research (Keyword Planner – need to create a Google Adwords account) • Create a 2000 word blog post. Hire someone on Elance.com • Order an infographic on Fiverr.com • Publish the infographic to 50+ directories – hire someone on fiverr to do this. • Share it to PDF and slide sharing sites – hire someone on fiverr to do this. • Order a white board animation video on fiverr • Share the post on Twitter, FB, Pinterest, Google+

  28. Future of SEO • Voice search – people search with their voice. That’s why conversation anchor text is so important. • User experience. That’s Google’s goal. Give them what they want. Fast loading sites. Great content. Responsive. Get people to click through multiple pages on your site. • Google+ Author Rank. • Make it look natural – if you look like spam, you are. • These are responses from SEO millionaires.

  29. Pay Per Click (PPC) • Google Adwords – largest ad network • Does it still work? Yes. But the cost-per-clicks CPCs are increasing, making SEO more valuable today than ever before. • It’s based on supply / demand in an auction system. • One Hack – don’t bid even numbers. Bid .02 since higher than even numbers.

  30. Google’s New Ad Layout

  31. How to Determine ROI • Estimate Search Volume for your keywords • Get CPC estimates for that volume • Add up the cost • Determine your conversion rate • What’s your profit per conversion? • Revenue – cost = profit.

  32. Example • “Las Vegas dentist” • Volume 1300 searches / mo • You could get a 3% click-through-rate (CTR) • .03 x 1300 = 39 clicks • Ave CPC = $10 per click • 39 clicks x $10 = $390 • Conversions on 39 clicks? 2 patients • Revenue? $1000. • Profit? $610 • Worth it? Yes.

  33. PPC in 2014 • Standard CPC traffic is increasing, but it still works. But, the future is Native Advertising. Have you seen a Facebook newsfeed ad before? That’s native advertising. It works wonders, and that’s what’s working best now. Same with Youtube ads. I highly recommend any business owner do Youtube ads.

  34. Retargeting / Remarketing • This is showing ads to people who have previously visited your website. Have you noticed that most of the ads you see are from sites you’ve recently visited? That’s retargeting in action. • It’s powerful • The CPCs are low relative to other platforms • It’s incredibly targeted, so the ROI is high

  35. Internet Marketing Strategies for 2014 • SEO – Content Marketing • Google Adwords (Search and or Display) • Retargeting • Native Advertising (FB Newsfeed Ads, Twitter Ads, Pinterest Promoted Posts, Stumbledupon Ads)
