SEO- Offpage SEO Strategies

All of us are aware now that field of Search Engine Optimization is booming with every day. People might be unaware that what they learnt yesterday might become absolute tomorrow. The only way not to log back in race of SEO, one has to update his knowledge regularly by reading SEO articles.


Being a SEO expert, I feel it’s our duty to make people/clients aware of some factors that deal with Offpage SEO. Most of things you might be aware of and some might be hidden treasure for you.

1) Community Creation: Also termed as online reputation management, it is first step which you should do. Signup with popular social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, LinkedIn and create a profile for you/ your website. Connect with friends, share among them and promote your company. This will help you to build an online reputation. This is all what is popularly called Web 2.0.

2) Blogging: It is one of powerful strategies to promote your or any company’s website online. Write a blog with unique content. Convey precisely to your readers but don’t forget to promote your blog in blog search engines and blog directories. You can post comments at other websites too. If you are not good at writing content, hire someone!

3) Forums: If feasible, create online forum/discussion board hosted on your site. Invite your friends to start new discussion. Post replies/thread in other related forums. Your signatures can provide you valuable links.

4) Submission in Search Engines:  This is one of important steps. Submit your website in popular search engines. To name a few: Google, Bing, Yahoo, Alexa, Alltheweb.  Submit in as many search engines as you can.

5) Directory Submission: These days’ people think that directory submissions are useless. However, in my views it is still alive. Only thing you need to be careful is about directory in which you are going to submit your website and the category in which it will be submitted. Try of submit your site in DMOZ, Zoominfo, Onemission. Never go for paid listings.

6) Social Bookmarking: It can be a powerful tool but don’t abuse them. People submit content in social bookmarking sites without having knowledge about the right ways to extract benefit from them. Handle tags properly. Few do follow links can give a big boost your SERPs.

7) Link Exchange: Try to exchange links with industry related websites. This can give a major boost to your SERPs but beware of black hat techniques while exchanging links with other sites.

8 ) Link Baiting: Many people don’t understand link baiting and consider it black hat. It is giving due credit to author/original resource from where you copied content. If you follow it, chances are there that other might also follow the same practice.

9) Photo Sharing: Done correctly, it can bring handsome traffic to your website. Share product images and make them public. Invite your friends to view them/comment on them.

10) Video Promotions: As with photo sharing, you can share or publish your product videos, expert opinions in major video publishing sites like YouTube, Metacafe, Dailymotion etc.

11) Business Reviews: Write business reviews and ask your friends/clients to do it for you. Few major sites are Shvoong, RateitAll, Stylefeeder.

12) Yellow Pages and Local Listings: If nature of your business is service oriented, try to dominate your local market. Google maps, yahoo Maps, yellow pages, hotfrog, supermages are few sites worth trying.

13) Article Submission: It is one of oldest ways to earn backinks. Submit your website in good article directories like Ezine, Go Articles,Buzzle etc.

14) Press Release: Submit your PR in sites likes OpenPR, PR leap, 1888pressrelease. This might help your site to get published in Google News.

15) Classifieds Submission: Post your products/services on classifieds sites like Craiglist, MySpace, Vivastreet.

16) Social Shopping Network: If you have an e-commerce site, this can be good strategy and can help you get branding for free. Submit your product feed into MSN Online Shopping, Google Product Search and Yahoo Online Shopping.

17) Answers: Try to help people; people will in return help you. Answer questions asked by people. Sometimes you can place a link of your site in resource box. Some great sites are Yahoo answers, Answer Bag, Cha Cha etc. But don’t spam!

18) Document Sharing: Share your business documents, slides in Slide share, google docs. This helps in building brand.

19) CSS, W3C Directory Submission: If you offer website design or related services, submit your websites in W3C and CSS directories along with RSS sites.

20) Gadget/Widget Development: Develop some interactive gadgets for your site. Publish them on your website/blog and other social networking website. Let your friends and world be aware of your brand.

21) RSS Feeds: If you have a blog/RSS feed, then you can always submit your site in RSS directories.

22) Citations: Build citations to your website in authority sites. This will give a big boost to your search engine rankings.

23) Link Wheel: Also called Google Wheel/Wonder Wheel, it involves cross linking web 2.0 sites and your website. This can help you drive good amount of traffic.

24) PPC/ Adwords: If you don’t have time to put all these strategies to work and still in need of traffic, PPC is answer for you.

Image and Video Optimization for SEO Success

A successful online business is defined by its measure of web presence, typically how high it is ranked in the major search engines like Google and Yahoo. Today, every small and big online business owner knows that SEO is critical to their website’s success. Search engine optimization is the key to attaining web business excellence; it’s all about getting to the top of search engine ranks and sustaining the cash flow.
We have heard it said repeatedly: “content is king”. Yes, it is. However, it is not the only thing that can be optimized, or should be optimized. Sadly, to a large number of online business owners, optimization still begins and stops at content.
Pictures and videos help improve your site’s content. They provide essential breaks in paragraphs of text, helping to clearly highlight a product and promote it. When optimized, pictures and videos further your website’s chances of attaining high search engine ranks. This is where a professional SEO services company can help you out.

 
How to Optimize Pictures?

• An image is the closest your customers will get to experience a product online. You will want to use the right type of image in your website design to compliment your content. If your content talks about a dog training package, the image should ideally be that of the package contents (books/videos) and not just a couple of dogs, or a dog with its trainer.

• Pictures convey ideas better than words. Choose an image that visitors can refer to for a better idea of what your content is describing.

• The image of a German Shepherd dog will be more specific with “German Shepherd” or “Alsatian” instead of “myalbum17.jpg”. Use specific keywords that best describe the image.

• Even a generic keyword like “dog” may not get you targeted visitors for German Shepherd or Alsatian.

• Always use an alt tag for your images. Search engine crawlers cannot ‘see’ your image and read its content. Image alts make your images ‘visible’ to the search engines, especially when they contain the specific keyword describing the image.

• If you are linking text to an image, the anchor text should also contain the keyword describing the image.

• Keep your file names, alt tags and anchor texts short and descriptive. Don’t overload with too many keywords.

How to Optimize Videos?

• Similar to images, use keyword rich alt tags and anchor texts for your videos. Also, make sure you have a video file name that is specific. Adding a keyword content transcript for the video will also help search engines read it better.

• Always post your product video on your site first, and then post on video submission sites. This makes it easier for you to get links by using embed codes.

• Break a large video in two parts. Post both parts on your site and only the first part on video submission sites. Provided you have interesting and useful content in your video, visitors will visit your site for the second part of the video.

• Search engines love sitemaps. Make a video site map and let search engine crawlers go through your videos.

• Build internal and external links for your videos. Keep subject relevancy in mind when you are linking videos. You would not want to link a dog training video to a dog movie clip. That kind of linking does not work with users. Besides, it’s no value addition to your site.

• Make your videos social by bookmarking, tweeting or sharing them on social networks.

• Use keywords to optimize the URL of the page where you are placing the video.  This usually works when there is only one video on one page. You can also change headings, subheadings, and Meta and title tags to describe the video. Of course, the page’s content has to be on the video.

In other words, if the page is there solely to promote the video, make URL, headers and Meta tag changes enunciating video benefits, content, etc.

How Google +1 Can Change the Dynamics of SEO

If you offer SEO services in India, you must have heard about Google’s new search result recommendation service called Google +1? This has revolutionized the field of social SEO and has started giving a tough competition to Facebook’s “like” option.
What is Google +1?
When you log into your Google account and search for something on Google, you will note that

the search results appear with a +1 button beside respective links. Clicking on the +1 button, you can recommend the website to your Google contacts.
These recommendations will appear to your friends when they search on the same keyword. For example, if you searched for iPod and recommended an ecommerce website, when your friends search for the same gadget with the same keyword, they will see that you have recommended a particular site for it.
However, to make the +1 recommendation visible, you have to change the settings in your Google account’s +1 tab and make it “public” from “private”.
A website admin can add the Google +1 button in his website very easily. The process is similar to adding a Facebook “like” button or Twitter “tweet” button. When a visitor comes to a site and likes it, he can click on the social media button to recommend it to his friends and social circle.
The process of “like” and “Google +1” may look the same, but the +1 has a lot more effect on search engine optimization and page ranking.

How it Works?

When you click on the +1 button, the link gets shared with your social circle. This social circle consists of all the contacts in Google Talk, Gmail, Buzz, Contacts, Google Plus, etc. The recommendation appears to both the person who has recommended the link and to friends in his social circle.
For example, if Bob, Bill and Dan are three friends and Bob recommends a link, Bill and Dan will see that their friend Bob has recommended it. Now, if Bill also recommends the same link, then Bob will see “you and Bill have recommended this site.”

How it Helps in Online Marketing?

The Google +1 is a boon to SEO companies. Online marketing has completely changed with the introduction of Google +1 button. The click-through rate, or CTR, will see a boost for those that have higher number of Google +1 recommendations.
Normally, popular sites will be recommended by thousands all over the world and help them to secure top ranking. But Google +1 is also beneficial for small companies. If you are looking for “SEO services in India” and see that the search result shows a recommendation for a particular company, you will be more interested in it, even if they don’t appear in the top 10 search results. We are always more comfortable to work with a company when our friends recommend them.

How Google +1 Will Affect SEO?

If a link is being +1’d by a large group of friends, Google will increase its page rank. Compared to false account SEO activities, a genuine recommendation helps Google to understand the value of that website. If your friend recommends a particular site, you will probably spend a lot more time there than on other sites. Google measures the success and failure of a site by its bounce rate. Bounce rate calculates how long a user stays on a website. It will help Google’s algorithm and page ranking system.

Can it be Manipulated by Black-hat SEO?

If you think that anyone can randomly click on the +1 button to increase a website’s search ranking, then you are mistaken! Google is no fool; they can mark a spam +1 recommendation very easily. If you use your Google account regularly and use services such as Gmail, GTalk, and Google Plus, etc, your recommendations will be considered as genuine. But if you use a fake account and only +1 hundreds of links everyday, Google will soon realize your intention.

Why it’s Here to Stay?



What is the advantage of Google +1, when there is already Facebook “like”?
When you “like” a site on Facebook, your friends can only see that recommendation for a few days. Later, they will forget about it. But when you +1’d a link, it stays for a very long time. Even if your friends search on the same keyword after several months, they will see that you have recommended a particular site months ago. This is very important for online marketing. Google +1 increases the chances of brand recall and rise in profit margins.
Google +1 is an excellent tool for SEO and marketing. However, it has one shortcoming. To recommend a site and see your friends’ recommendations in the search results, you have to log in to your Google account first. Though, if you consider the number of people using Gmail everyday, the possibility of seeing a recommendation while logged in is very high.

4 Simple Design Ideas to Improve Your Website’s Performance

Most website designers I know can’t wait to finish a project. All it takes is a positive feedback from the client and the site to go live before they slump relaxed on their beds. That’s okay because website design can sometimes be quite energy draining, especially with crazy clients breathing down your neck with crazier design ideas.

However, the problem with this approach is the ever-changing web landscape. Designs that convert today might not convert tomorrow. Sometimes, they might not be converting at all in the first place. The cause: most web designers will never take the time to test their designs before submitting them to clients. The result: a long, often unpleasant, client mail and redesigning.

Redesigning a website, or web page, that you have previously designed can be a major problem even if it does not require an overhaul. In fact, an overhaul is often easier because it uses fresh ideas; there is less work building from scratch than breaking down and changing an existing design.

I believe in simple solutions; minor adjustments that promise big results. An incremental approach to web designing can get you effective and measurable results without taking up too much time, and to a great extent, help avoid a design catastrophe.

1. Select a Maximum Impact Page – Traditionally, the home page is selected to make the greatest impact on visitors. I suggest to not blindly following traditions and starting to dig a little bit into

• Find out your top landing or entrance page (look under ‘Content’ on the left sidebar in Google Analytics).

• Using the Advanced Filter link at the bottom of the table, filter and remove the minimal trafficked pages.

• Sort pages by bounce rate and select the page with maximum potential for improvement. This will usually be a page with high visitors and high bounce rate.

A combination of high visits and high bounce rate means your web page has enough of what attracts maximum users searching your niche, but has little of what it takes to retain them. With minor tweaks, the bounce rate can be reduced while keeping your visitor count intact, or increasing it.

2. Detect Improvement Areas – There are several ways you can find out the areas of your web page that need improvement. Tools like Userfly or ClickTale will help you follow how people interact with your website. CrazyEgg’s and clickdensity’s heat maps are also excellent detection tools for popular and overlooked areas of your site. You can also set up SurveyMonkey or PollDaddy to find out what your users want.
Additionally, you can find out how these following areas of your website works:

• Headline

• Calls to Action

• Buttons (size, color and location)

• Text size

• Color scheme

• Images

• Whitespace

• Advertisement density

• Value proposition

3.  Define – Your analytics tool will probably throw up a hundred different things that can be changed. By using the incremental approach, you must select only the major items that you believe can be improved to create a major impact on visitors and search engines.
Remember, an overhaul is not your aim, but tweaking a few items in your website to make a seemingly unworkable page work, is
Narrow down your list of changes to include the top three plausible impact areas on your page. Develop content and code to make changes you believe will benefit your site. Limiting your list of changes makes your work manageable, although if you want to test more changes, it will have to be an ongoing process.

4.  Test – After you have made changes on your page, the A/B Split Test in Google Website Optimizer will help track your results. Select a conversion page that accurately reflects your primary goal for that page.
A/B split test results will start showing anywhere from a couple of hours to a few weeks. The effect of your changes will be easy to spot once you do a summation of average traffic to your page for a set period. If you have implemented changes with sincerity, you will most likely be rewarded with an increase in conversions.
However, it is possible your new page performs the same as your previous page or that there is a considerable drop in performance. But that’s the fun of testing. Every successful and unsuccessful test result will give you something new to learn about what works and what does not for your website.

Thu 18 Aug 2011 Content Writing – Fascinate Your Readers with Enticing Headlines

Creating interesting headline is a challenging aspect of content writing and web design. A catchy headline encourages visitors to click the page and read the content. If you do not opt for an enticing headline, there are high chances that your content will be lost amongst millions of others available in the Internet. An example will make the concept clear.

Recently an online news article that contained the headline’ New Report Ranks Top U.S. Cities for Bedbug Infestations’ attracted people’s attention. While millions of articles on the same topic have been published, what was special about this one? This headline highlighted an intriguing element-fear, which raised curiosity of the visitors. And for most people, infestation of bedbugs can be a frightening issue! Here are few tips that will help you to write engaging headlines.

Opt for brainstorming sessions

Yes, it is true.  Brainstorming sessions will help you to avoid using clichéd terms and come up with eye-catching headlines. Use creativity, intelligence, and basic knowledge to make your headlines different from others. Opting for clichéd terms will convince the visitors that you are a lousy writer and probably are not serious about making your articles interesting.

Use the secret weapon

Visitors usually look for good and valuable information in the Internet. With the help of creative headlines, you can convince them that your article contains useful information. For example, if you are writing an article on weight loss, using a clichéd title such as ‘How to Lose Weight’, may not generate much traffic. On the other hand, choosing an interesting headline such as ‘Secret Tips to Lose Weight’ can stimulate interest of the visitors. However, avoid using this technique on a regular basis.

Asking questions can be a good idea

A simple way to make your headline interesting is to ask questions. It gives an idea about the theme of the article and evokes curiosity of the readers. For example, instead of writing ‘Tips for Parenting Toddlers’, you can use the title’ How to Parent Toddlers Effectively?’ The latter title creates a powerful impression and convinces the readers that your article contains useful tips.

Short titles are effective

Research studies reveal that as compared to long titles, short ones are more effective in captivating interest of the visitors. Long titles can irritate people and discourage them from exploring the content. Keep your headlines short and simple.

Use command titles

Command headlines create a proactive image and urge the readers to take an action. In fact, it can be a powerful marketing strategy. A great example of command headline can be’ Opt for Eco-Friendly Products-Be a Hero’. This headline convinces the readers that the article explores environment-friendly products and reasons for buying them.

Though headline is a crucial aspect of content, one needs to pay attention to the body of the article as well. If you do not include valuable information in the text, there are high chances that the readers will not return to your site. Therefore, to garner maximum traffic, pay equal emphasis on title and body of the content.

Why Use HTML5 Features in Web Design and Development?

HTML’s latest version, HTML5, builds on the highly successful features of HTML4. Although, currently supported by only few web browsers and is not expected to complete before 2014, HTML5 features have already gained widespread popularity. Undoubtedly, the gen-next HTML can improve website design by adding many attractive and excellent elements. Also, because HTML5 builds on HTML4, web developers need not suspend the existing markups. An improvement on the old markups will be seen to allow the new features to better website appearance and usability.
Here’s a look at what the next generation HTML has to offer:

HTML5 Features

• The doctype specification that was used by HTML4 has been simplified for HTML5. Browsers will continue to render pages in standards mode.

However, with the simplified doctype  declaration, it is now only <!DOCTYPE html> to be used in the HTML5 syntax.
•  HTML5 provides outstanding support to   audios and videos. When all browsers fully support HTML5, it will be manifolds easier to add videos and audios to websites without using outside plugins.
•  HTML5 allows simplified content editing of your website. The ‘contenteditable’ attribute allows you to easily and quickly edit/change your text. All you have to do is add ‘contenteditable=“true”’ to change any element.

• HTML5’s canvas element is good news for web designers. This feature allows you to bypass Photoshop by allowing you to directly place 2D images in the code.

• You can still navigate web applications when offline by virtue of the HTML5’s application cache feature.

How the Use HTML5 can Help Web Designers

• Because it implements WebSockets, HTML5 loads quicker than HTML4

• For mobile phone companies creating applications for mobile phones, HTML5 could be the solution to faster applications that will be accessible universally across all mobile phones.

• HTML5 makes web development faster, easier and more flexible to modifications/changes.

• 
• With HTML5, the need for third-party software to write codes for media tools like audio, video and images, is obliterated. Media tools can now be directly written into the codes.

• The growing popularity and wide use of HTML5 is going to get better and faster with new features. It only makes sense that designers shift to this improved coding language to produce advanced websites.

• Together with CSS3, HTML5 can create designs that are smarter, more attractive, and load faster.

HTML5 can give your designing skills a serious boost. In a world where competition rules and online businesses are fighting to stay alive, a stylish website, combined with the correct SEO factors, can pull your business from the muck of competition to a place of distinction.

Email Marketing-Enhance Your Business?

Email used one of the dominant mediums of communication on the Web. With the evolution of social media however, it has lost its sheen. Several companies and individuals have dropped email and started using their Facebook or Twitter accounts for communication. The question is, “is email really obsolete?”
The answer is: No! If used wisely, emails can still work wonders for online marketing.
Why People Are Losing Faith in Email?


Email is the oldest medium of online communication, and when compared to social   media features, is pretty dry. With social media tools, millions of people can communicate with each other instantly. Facebook and Twitter are probably the largest marketing platforms with billions of fans. Many big corporate houses have gained huge business success through social media. Email marketing is outdated because most consider it boring. In fact, teenagers, and most below 50, hardly use email these days to share events, activities, comments, pictures, etc.

• Social networks are mostly privately owned and have a market value worth billions of dollars. LinkedIn’s estimated market value is $10 billion and if Facebook goes public, it can earn a market share of $100 billion. Everyone wants a share in social media because it’s profitable. Email is non-proprietary. It doesn’t have a market value. Email is like air, its essential but you don’t pay for it.

• Another major drawback of email is you can’t get the attention of a huge audience at the same time. Email is private. You can send a mail to only those who you wish to or know ids of. When it comes to Facebook however, whatever you write on your wall can be viewed by thousands of people at the same time, with or without being on your friend list. Online marketers like to share their news fast, and with a large audience.

• Another major drawback of email is you can’t get the attention of a huge audience at the same time. Email is private. You can send a mail to only those who you wish to or know ids of. When it comes to Facebook however, whatever you write on your wall can be viewed by thousands of people at the same time, with or without being on your friend list. Online marketers like to share their news fast, and with a large audience.

Why Email is Still Important?

• Emails do not have the ability to share content with millions at once and create thousands of fans, but when it comes to number of users, social media falls behind. In USA, only 6% of people have never sent or received an email, but 39% internet users never used any social network. That means email marketing is your safest bet when you want to communicate with a large audience.

• You may have an account in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Myspace, Orkut, and in many other sites. But when it comes to email addresses, you probably have 1-2 email addresses. When people have too many social media accounts, they will overlook a post or tweet, but when they receive a mail in their inbox, the possibility of checking the message is much more.

• When it comes to direct marketing, 93% of email users have opt-in relationships with a consumer brand, compared to 15% on Facebook and 4% on Twitter. Facebook has realized the importance of email as a medium of communication and marketing. They have already launched a @facebook.com email address.

• Email attracts users’ attention. When people receive an email in their inbox, they read it most of the times. But when the same person gets a feed from Facebook, he overlooks it.

• When it comes to social media like Twitter, you have only 140 characters to express yourself. Email has no such limitations. You can write in detail about your product or service.

• Email does not irritate users. You can keep your inbox to zero. But Facebook and Twitter floods your profile with hundreds of updates every minute. How many Tweets can an online marketer send? No matter how many he sends, some new Tweet from another company will replace it, and the previous Tweet will go into oblivion.

• Email marketing is slow but steady. Using email, you can cultivate your brand image, advocate the reasons that make you the best and create a long lasting impression on the users’ mind. In social media, the PPC campaigns are like shooting stars. Once you stop PPC, people forget about you.

Things to Remember in Email Marketing

• When you send an email, write in simple language but offer valuable information. People forgive gibberish content in Facebook, but not in a mail they get from the same brand.

• Email gives you the freedom to write as much as you wish. Still, your content should be compact and coherent. Writing too much can bore your target audience.

• Categorize your customers and send message to them with a personal tone. You should not address the entire audience the same way. Also, do not address collectively, saying “hi all”.

Despite the popularity of social media, email has its own advantages. It reaches the target audience directly and individually. To start a successful online marketing campaign, you can’t ignore email.

We at Levonsys provide you our specialized Pay Per Click (PPC) Campaign Management Services for effectively and economically running your Adwords, Text-Ads and Banner Advertising campaigns on Google, Yahoo and their partner sites. Clients or Organizations willing to get their PPC campaign managed by us are encouraged to open their own Google Adwords account and get their own credit card registered with it to make arrangements for their advertising liabilities towards the respective search engine.

How to Write Better CSS in Easy Steps

A clean and proper CSS code can help create a website design faster and with more ease than when you are using tables. However, your first dig at CSS can be a little odd especially if you are comfortable using tables. Nevertheless, in the best interest of clean stylesheets and a more efficient output, here are 10 easy tips that will help you write better CSS:

1.    CSS Reset – is especially useful when you are writing the same code repeatedly to make your design displayable in different browsers. Using a CSS reset stylesheet would mean to build off browsers from zero and ensure your design is properly displayed in all browsers.

2.    Indent – Always indent your CSS rules so that when you are writing more than 500 lines of CSS codes, you don’t need to sift through the file to find id’s and classes, and strain your eyes in the process.





3.    Comment – These help keep your stylesheets structured. When you comment out blocks of codes, the scanning of classes and id’s become easier. Besides, when your clients go through your codes, they can change what they do not like without having to ask you.

4.    Keep it Clean – Always code one rule in one line and multiple rules in multiple lines. That way, not only does your stylesheet look uncluttered, but also it’s easier for you to find items, and change them as required.

5.    Consistency – This is not something you will notice as you work on a daily basis, but once you review your stylesheets, you will find a definite pattern you follow in the way you write specific lines of code. The idea is to maintain a single style of coding throughout your stylesheet, and those you will write in future, so editing becomes easier and takes less time.

6.    Separate – the CSS hacks and conditional elements from your main stylesheet so their modification or editing can be done without affecting codes in your main style.css file.

7.    Shorthand Code – Shorthand increases your speed of writing and also helps keep your stylesheet clean. Follow the clockwise format so each numeric value rightly corresponds to its quality.

8.    TOC – A Table of Contents at the top of your stylesheet will allow you to easily find items in your code.

9.    Easy to Follow Names – CSS id’s and classes should follow a proper naming structure so they are easy to understand.

10.    Alphabetical Order – Following this in your CSS rules will make it remarkably easy for you to pick out specific lines to edit in your code. Haphazard alphabetization means you will have to scan you codes a while before you find a specific line and change it.
