SearchEngineExperts Vs Competitors

Is your SEO Professional ripping you off?

There is a nice conversation running on LinkedIn group called On startups - The community for entrepreneurs

The conversation is titled: “Is your SEO expert ripping you off?”

Interesting, as anyone often wonders the true value of SEO because :

• If your competitors are doing it too (likely), are you both paying for something that doesn’t generate a competitive advantage?
• Nobody outside of Google actually knows how their algorithm works.
• Getting IT people to do marketing is just scary as they forget people have lives offline.
• Every web developer in the world has hopped on the SEO bandwagon, unless he is really a stupid.

Anyway four techniques mentioned for monitoring your SEO effectiveness (the bang-for-the-buck-o-meter).

• Monitor your keywords monthly on Google to see whether you are actually paying for movement in your ranking (obvious). Don’t just search on your business name as that’s almost pointless.
• Find out who links to you. Google takes into account the number of “high ranked” sites that link to you. A link from Craigslist can instantly boost your rankings, while a link from Bob’s House of Junk has no effect. Type “link: www.dreamconsultancy.com.au ” into Google to have a look at who links to the Dream Consultancy.
• Ask your SEO expert for a monthly report. Get a baseline report of where your website stands before optimization began, then request regular (monthly) reports detailing ranking movement.
• Use a third party service such as Authority Labs.

Press Release optimization and Distribution for SEO

Website owners and web marketers use multiple tips and tricks to optimise their websites. However, almost all top search engine optimization (SEO) firms use strategies to organically improve search engine rankings. In order to get to the top and maintain their positions in the search engine results, sometimes some SEO firms adopt black hat practices. However, there are other ways through which you can optimise your website. Among all the other tricks and techniques, press releases is one used by most of the SEO companies. Press releases are used to inform the target audience and potential customers at frequent intervals about the changes that have taken place in your website.

Whenever any product or service is launched or released, you can announce it in the form of a press release. You can make this announcement through media such as news or publish it. However, your decision and mode of announcement may depend on the target audience and the product or service. This public announcement is the way to reach out to the target audience and inform them about the various aspects of the product or service and how it can serve them. A press release is a formal way of making your potential customer aware of the product or service. Thus, press releases serve as an effective marketing tool to attract the attention of your target audience. It is important that press releases should focus on winning the credibility of the potential customers.

Press releases not only create awareness and buzz about the product or service through media; they also help in driving traffic to the website through back links. Several publishers, editors, journalists, and bloggers are connected to your website through press release directories. This increases the chances of exposure and visibility to large scale media to a great extent. This also serves as an effective Search Engine optimization strategy for your website. While preparing the content of a press release keep in mind that it should be lucid and comprehensive enough for the target audience to understand and get interested in it.

Press release optimization helps in achieving the primary objective of SEO by maintaining and maximizing the SEO value from the press release. It can also help in driving traffic and contribute in increasing revenues through sales. Press releases not only generate interest among the target audience but also create public awareness through media about the product or service.
