Shaping An Online Marketing Strategy & Evolving Search

Whence Internet was newly introduced little did people know that it will evolve from a phenomenal communication tool with extensive outreach to a business paradigm which will come to rule.  The major dimensional thrust for online activities is through a medium we call website or portal effectively powered by social media. 

As Internet evolved website development did too, alongside, and search became more and more efficient in order to retrieve information buried in the saturated labyrinth of  websites, blogs and portals. 

It is search that now dominates website development and dictates terms. The evolution of algorithms is attributed to Sergei Brin and  Larry Page, and like Microsoft Windows the search mechanism has proved to be revolutionary and unbeatable. 

Other companies that came to fore are Bing and Yahoo which are at the best a lean shadow of the giant called Google. More companies are staking claims but will take them eons to dominate i.e. until unless they develop a highly effective search mechanism that fetches desired results in millisecond. 

As the search became popular, companies, professionals, and individuals realised the power, speed and reach of the Internet. Now they can publish their company profiles or themselves online, communicate globally and even sell their wares with ease. The latter is called eCommerce and is the instrument for companies to skyrocket their sales and services. It is online reputation generated through social media that matters immensely.   

From simple link assessment methodology, the algorithms have come a long way and employ diverse metrics to rank and index websites, thus search engine optimization has become more complex and ever evolving. 

Companies and professional which do not have access to good SEO or Internet Marketing professionals need to advertise using PPC (pay per click) or other methods. This is where online strategy formation come forth. Online advertisement through, Adwords, Facebook, Twitter and other sources can be a costly campaign but can deliver.

Before creating huge advertising campaigns a test marketing should be done to gauge product /service popularity and demand online. Large PPC campaigns should be inducted only if tests succeed else it will result in revenue leakage.  

For most businesses, professionals and individuals online presence is essential for their survival. Land based business doing well may accord little importance to presence on Net, but sooner or later this alternate medium will strike them.   

PPC campaign can be costly and should be supported by organic traffic which Internet Marketing professionals or companies generate. A singular approach apart from costing huge sums can be lacklustre. Though search engine optimization cost money it is less expensive and can help reduce advertisement budget spent on PPC. Plus social media activity is essential under any circumstance since it builds reputation and enlivens brands which PPC does not do.  

For an online presence it is imperative that the instrument be it a portal or blog subscribes to guidelines of major search engines. That means link architecture, contents and other attributes like images, graphics and videos should be of quality and well optimized. Mobile friendly sites have become essential as the search evolves on cellular medium.

These aspects may not be given importance to sites subscribing to PPC alone. In online business not only SE guidelines matter, usability and ability to convert effectively matters as well in order to generate business.     

In fact the search engine guidelines are key to effective website development and subscribing to them means better results on the Net. With the induction of new technologies product displays, merchandise and self propaganda is becoming more appealing drawing huge crowds to make businesses profitable. In effect the eCommerce portals are making a significant dent on offline sales and in cases they have become indispensable.    

Hence those seeking online presence should hire quality, technically able, web development companies along with experienced Internet Marketing professionals, content writers and graphic designers. A well developed portal, mix of social media activity, search engine optimization and online advertisement campaigns makes a sound strategy.   

Dominating the SERPS is the key to success on the Internet.

Researching Keywords & Contents A Wise Approach

Though using keywords tools are the regular means of finding the important search terms, it is usually a bad experience since the extensive one's are paid. The best solutions for making a list of useful terms is to study the topics in books, letters and the SERPs literally speaking. 

With the complexity of ranking algorithms there is no possibility of coming across magical search terms that would invite tons of organic traffic. It is best to list a large number of terms which are long and semantic in nature. This way you will sideline competition to a good degree and rank quicker. In the contemporary period ranking on prime keywords is nigh difficult and if your seo practices are good you even then it will take a long time to rank.

Will your client wait that long?    

Hence understanding the topic is most important...if the contents of the site have been already written. Else understand what the client wish the site to be about, and then first write contents naturally using a good mix of semantic terms and proper ratio of prime or exact terms. 

Besides understanding the topic thoroughly take into accounts the trends and demands that surrounds a topic or a product. This will fetch you closer to the right content, and surely right search terms will emerge. If you type the terms from the list you have made and query them on SERPs you will deepen your list with more discoveries. Remember your site will only rank for terms that are relevant as shown by the content on page. Trying to rank on words and phrases outside the purview of onpage contents will be a meaningless exercise. The contents should be pointing towards words and phrases and you can rank only on these and the semantic of course. Do not waste time on high ranking phrases if they are not relevant to your contents. 

Hence first most important task is the focus on contents...are they written suitably to what the website means to deliver. Accuracy is a must in the write ups done naturally...do not write for the SE's. Good contents can be delivered only by a good writer who understands SEO very well. At the same time he should have the capacity to research. What I am putting emphasis upon is that contents and keywords are intertwined and the latter should have a diverse profile. Relevancy is what explains the engines better about the topic else a confused status means very poor ranking on SERPs.    

If you are promoting a hotel website then besides the hotel terms you can rank poorly on resort and lodge terms. Ranking on related terms may be weak but they will accord you a proper mix of terms for links to be used as anchors which is imperative. Simply put  you cannot go on using a term for long in anchor.    

Hence deep research and study of the topic is a prerequisite for discovering search terms. And then these will play an important role in the whole promotional strategy. This is a make or break activity so be on alert constantly. Throughout the search engine optimization campaign you should be discovering new words and phrases which are relevant. Focusing on wrong terms will certainly lead to failure and client dissatisfaction.   

Extensive research will also help you on Adwords campaigns albeit their keyword planner would of great assistance whence paid search factors are taken into account.

Fetch as Google & AngularJS

In order to be well documented by the search engines the robot should be able to traverse the site thoroughly with ease. This is imperative for indexing and ranking by search engines like Google. Although some companies have become more efficient in negotiating scripts the problem still persists. Using pre rendering platform can assist the robots to decipher the site properly since a fully cached version is presented to then by such platforms.   

Unfortunately some scripts impede the movement of the robot and this could result the site being partially indexed. This is more problematic whence the site uses scripts that accord dynamic functionality on page like AngularJS. The rendering of  HTML is made difficult by these scripts in case of the navigational links and indexable content. Albeit AngularJS has been made by Google it is quite susceptible to this problem and can affect you ranking and hence organic search traffic.

AngularJS is used to create dynamic web pages and it works on client site simultaneously without the need for the web page to refresh every time an action is requested. Using this script a mix of elements can be changed quickly. In ecommerce sites the script is highly useful where various product dimensions have to exhibited and quickly. There is no need in this case to ask for new pages or refresh this thus decreases the bounce rate by increasing user experience.  

It is important that the elements on a web page should not make rendering it or crawling difficult. In order to check whether your website is being properly rendered you should use Google tool available in the search console called Fetch As Google. This tool is available only for the current site which has been registered in that search console. You cannot check any other site with registering it.  This support provide accurate analysis of what the robot has been through your site and hence inform you about the status of indexing of the whole site as well as that of a single page.   The Fetch As Google works for both the desktop and mobile sites. The support at search console is detailed and should enable you to know the extent of indexing that is being done by the SE. 

Whence you register at search control and enter it you will find this support amongst other utilities. 
If you leave the fetch as Google button empty it will check the root. You can also check the status of a single fetch using the support.
