Google is a hyper–textual search engine and to this effect, only reads HTML (Hyper Textual Markup Language) or in layman’s terms, the written word. Google does have an images database which can influence rankings, but primarily it is looking for the written content on your site.

Good quality technical authorship can lead to other websites and webmasters linking to your URL naturally and increase your link count. Further to this when a bespoke link campaign is undertaken, the results will be that much better as link providers will have good quality content to link to and thus protect their integrity.

Trust Rank – what is this term that has emerged in the SEO community?

It is, in reality a different form of measurement to page rank, one that some people have turned into a specific score out of ten. Interestingly Google have not, so we have not. What the Search Marketing Group mean by this is general perception. How does Google perceive your site? Are you following SEO best practice (Ethical SEO)? Do you have human edited in–bound links? Is your site essentially sound and informative or is it a website full of cheap ads and redirects?
Remember Google and other search engines do not exist for you to necessarily make money from – they exist to return a good quality set and spread of returns to the end user increasing the user experience!

Contact details

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that companies must provide contact details on their websites such as a telephone number and or a web form. This move is largely due to a desire to increase public protection and prevent fraud. A postal and or at least an email address gives the public a point of contact and the ability, which we would always recommend if giving very personal information, or spending large sums of money on the internet, of contacting Companies House and verifying information.

Authority

Domain age & history - it is crucial to consider this when looking to achieve rankings for your website, there are certain search terms that are so competitive that sites do need to have been on the net for some time to achieve good rankings. Naturally though the sooner a project can be started the quicker the site will gain a good page rank, be time served and thus positioned.
The history of the URL is also important – if the site has been blacklisted or has been penalised in some way for bad practice it is critical to know this prior to commencing a project.

Out-Links Quality

As mentioned in previous articles, outbound links and engaging in a positive link community is vital to the success of an SEO project. A good quality search marketing company will be able to give advice upon this.

Usage Statistics (Toolbar/Analytics) – This is a crucial area of search marketing. Some years ago Google bought the firm Urchin and now provides a free Analytics platform that feeds back to the site owner’s details on their hits, bounce rates, traffic profile and a plethora of other search marketing information.

SEO Copywriting – Link Baiting and the Power of Good Writing

Applied with skill and intelligence, link baiting is a powerful and sustainable ‘off page’ SEO strategy, contributing to high search engine positioning across your keywords and keyword phrases. Link baiting is a great way to build your online profile.

What is Link Baiting?

Simple as it sounds, link baiting is essentially online content that includes links to your website or landing page. Link baiting can come in many forms, news articles, online press releases, blogs, posts on social media sites, Twitter, Digg, del.icio.us, primarily shared and distributed with the single intention of developing links from as many different sources as possible.

In general, the better the quality of content you have on offer, the more web site owners will want it, and the wider your content (complete with embedded links) will be distributed across the Internet. Reach is the foremost reason for developing high quality content, closely followed by credibility. If your work is clearly of a high standard, not only will it generate more inbound links and visitors, it also reflects positively on your web site and your organisation.

Many news articles, press releases and blog posts can exist online for years so be sure to write them professionally, with care and quality. Don’t let poor work compromise your reputation.

The Benefits of Link Baiting

If your links are embedded in well-written, engaging and compelling copy, you will enjoy both direct benefits in the form of additional traffic but also the indirect benefits of better search placements.

In their endless pursuit of relevance, Google and the other major search engines are placing an increasing value on inbound links. In their eyes, the more inbound links your site commands, the more worth it must have, especially if those links come from popular sites.

More authority means higher Google search positioning. Make it easy for them.

Become an authoritative blog contributor, an industry leader, share the rare, be controversial, be contrary, instruct, inform, outrage. Do what you have to do to get above the noise, to have your link embedded content reach and inspire as many people as possible.

Most of all though, do it with quality. Contact the Search Marketing Group for more information.
