Engine Optimization - The Ethical
Strategies.
The search engine has become
a fundamental means for people
to find what they are looking
for. Research confirms that 80%
of Internet users utilize the
search engines and directories
to find products, services and
information [Jupiter
Research Study, 2006]. With
the number of people using the
Internet and search engines, it
gives any business the potential
to earn hundreds of thousand of
dollars in revenue through one
advertising medium. Hence, search
engines bring more visitors to
web sites than any other method
of advertising.
Research also clearly demonstrates
that your web site needs
to show up within the first 20
search results (first 2 pages)
for people to find your website.
How often have you crawled past
the first couple of pages looking
for your information in the search
engines?
Research
Proven
- 90% of all Search
Engines Users click
results within the first
3 pages
- 62% of these Users
click only on the first
few results, hence the
first 2 pages
- Most users perceive
that the top ranked
websites are market
leaders.

Now this brings us to why Search
Engine Optimization (SEO)
has become one of the classic
methods of internet marketing
strategies.
The point of this technique is
to increase your web ranking positions
in the search results so that
your customers can find you and
your products/services. Simply
said, the process of optimisation
involves choosing keywords that
are directly related to your website
and placing them meaningfully
within your pages and building
your website link popularity.
However, as easy as this sounds,
an average webmaster usually finds
SEO quite a daunting task without
any guarantee on the success.
For this reason, if you want a
marketing strategy that
drives immediate results, then
Pay-Per-Click
will be the best solution.
However the long term cost benefits
of running an effective SEO campaign
are substantial and this is the
reason that it is still a popular
choice for people that are looking
to get the competitive edge on
the internet.
Let’s take a better look
into the processes of Search Engine
Optimization. SEO actually consists
of two techniques that work hand
in hand to achieve optimal results.
One technique is called “on-page
optimization”
(also known as web-page optimization)
and the other is “off-page
optimization”
(also known as link building).
The combination of these two technique
gives a website a better chance
for successful results, however
many a time webmasters do not
utilise both methods effectively.
On-Page
Optimization
This technique is focused on
the optimization of the website
content. There are various user
and search engine friendly SEO
techniques which can be utilized
to make a site easier to be 'spidered'
by the search engine and
maximize its chances to obtain
top natural / organic search engine
listings, while enhancing the
user experience. The techniques
which will help achieve better
rankings for the keywords that
you are wanting to promote are
as follows:
- Thorough key phrase analysis
- Ensuring web site design favours
indexation
- Improving HTML coding &
HTML code validation
- Using external style sheets
- Using external Java script
files
- Improving the layout and/or
design of your site
- Improving your site's architecture
and navigation
- Iimplementing inter-linking
techniques throughout the site
- Meta tags optimization
- Optimizing other elements
such as headings, images, links
and anchor text, etc.
- Rewriting and editing content,
and/or copywriting additional
pages if necessary
- Using a site map to provide
alternate links for users and
search spiders
- Google SiteMap creation to
help indexation in Google
- Utilizing breadcrumbs and
alternate footer text link menus
for better user experience and
search engine indexation.
All or a combination of these
elements mentioned above will
help your website be recognised
by the search engine for the search
terms relevant to your industry.
Adding keyword enriched content
in the Meta tags of your website
will help improve your web ranking
positions and web traffic. There
are also a set of off-page
techniques which will help further
improve your rankings and drive
solid long-term results to your
website.
Off-Page
Optimization
Every major search engine uses
link
popularity to
some extent as a part of its ranking
algorithm. As such, an effective
off-page optimization
or link building strategy plays
a critical role in improving web
site rankings. Link Popularity
measures the quantity and quality
of sites that link back to a web
site. For example Google uses
its ranking algorithm called “Page
Rank” to determine
the relevancy of each web site.
Naturally, the higher the relevancy
of the web site the better is
its listing in the Google results.
Link popularity is becoming more
widely used by search engines. Search
engines today, do not rank a web
site just based on the link popularity,
they have become wiser and rank
web sites based on their importance
and relevancy. A web site can establish
itself as important if:
-
it has a large number of quality
links
-
it has a few links from pages
that are highly important(high
PageRank)
There are a few techniques within
Link Building which will help
your link popularity and reputation
of your website grow. Building
high quality incoming links is
one of the most challenging aspects
of search engine optimization,
however one of the most effective
strategies to achieve high ranking
positions on search engine results.
We’re not talking about
getting thousands of any links,
quickly. We’re talking about
getting high quality links from
popular, respected web site because
that is what search engines will
recognise and also these links
will bring high quality traffic
to your web site, which is the
ultimate goal.
Some of the way to get high quality
incoming links:
1. through link exchange with
reputable web sites. This is commonly
known as reciprocal links,
however in this instance we recommend
that you exchange links with relevant
web sites instead of link farms!
2. acquiring natural incoming
links through becoming a “content
provider”. This
means write relevant articles,
testimonials, informative advice
on forums and blogs related to
your industry. The links from
these sites will be classified
as reputable and help improve
your Page Rank and position.
3. creating a systematic internal
link structure. This
means that you should ensure all
your webpages are networked together
for both the search engine and
user to be able to navigate through
your website easily. A 'Site
Map' is a good source
to build a good internal link
structure.
Search Engine Optimization in
effect helps promote your website
most cost-effectively on the organic
search results than any other
marketing medium. This strategy
can get a website solid long terms
results based on how well it is
optimized. By using ethical techniques
you can get the search engine
to recognise your importance to
your industry and place you higher
in their search results. Ultimately,
this will generate quality web
traffic, leading to more conversions.

5
Steps to Creating a Successful
Pay-Per-Click Campaign
The golden rule
of PPC bidding is: “Attract
highly qualified buyers and keep
the bids as low as possible”.
Since you are paying for each
visitor entering your website
you would obviously want to maximize
the effectiveness of your PPC
campaign. Let’s take a look
at some basic guidelines to help
you optimise your campaign and
ensure a greater return on investment:
1.
Determine your bid cost
The calculation of the bid cost
(also known as cost per click)
requires a rather complicated
formula. Here is an example using
a baseline that will help determine
how much you can afford to bid:
Step1:
Find out the conversion rate of
your website – this means
the amount of unique visitors
that will convert to a sale. For
example, if you need 50 visitors
(= 50 clicks) to make one sale,
then the conversion rate is 2%.
Step2: Find
out the profit margin –
if your profit margin is high
enough to justify the cost you
can consider increasing the bid
and getting a higher position
for your ad. This way you may
increase the number of clicks
through your website and acquire
more sales.
Step3: Calculating
your conversion cost - If your
bid is 10 cents per click then
one sale has $5 of bidding cost.
Also calculate if the extra sales
justify the extra cost and adjust
the bid accordingly.
2.
Focus on highly targeted keywords
PPC Advertising can be cost effective
and still deliver highly targeted
traffic to your website. To take
advantage of this benefit, it
is important to choose the keywords
wisely. The key is to be specific.
For example, instead of bidding
on “skin care”
you can consider bid on “anti
ageing herbal treatments”.
More targeted keywords
attract more qualified buyers.
It is easier to convert them into
paying customers because they
found exactly what they were looking
for. This strategy is also a big
money saver -- more specific keywords
tend to be less expensive than
the generic keywords.
3.
Customize compelling advertisements
You will attract more attention
from qualified buyers by writing
creative ads specifically for
each of the keywords you bid on.
Advertise directly to the type
of visitor you want to serve.
For example, instead of writing
an ad for “pies”
you can write “home
made meat pies”.
When tailoring your
ads to a specific audience, be
sure that you direct your visitors
to a page on your website where
it's easy for them to buy these
items instead of just your sites
homepage.
4.
Use less popular PPC search engines
Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search
Marketing are clearly the PPC
market leaders. However you can
still benefit from using PPC search
engines which are less popular
as a means of customer visibility:
- MIVA, previously known as
FindWhat http://www.findwhat.com
- Espotting http://www.espotting.com,
(biggest PPC engine in UK
and European market)
- 7search.com http://www.7search.com
- Kanoodle.com http://www.kanoodle.com
- Enhance Interactive http://www.enhance.com
Bids on these less
popular PPC search engines are
much cheaper and you can purchase
your listings for as little as
one cent per visitor. Even though
you may not get the same exposure
as you would get with Google and
Yahoo! you can still generate
a decent amount of traffic. And
while you only pay for actual
clicks to your website, you never
waste your money.
5.
Choose the best position for your
advertisement
To be listed first on the search
results is not always a smart
move. It certainly helps to attract
lots of visitors, but may cost
you lots of money at the same
time. People usually visit first
5 top listings before making a
final decision about their purchase.
Therefore, it is more profitable
to have lower ranking for highly
competitive keywords. Generally
targeting positions 3 –
6 will still get your website
sufficient traffic, while keeping
within a restricted bid cost.
