Search Plus Your World – a Curse or a Blessing?

January 25th, 2012 by Alesia - Link-Assistant.Com

SPYW curse or blessing When Search plus Your World got rolled out, it looked pretty bizarre to me. My first question was, 'What the heck is this?' But, well, that could be just me.

Anyhow, SPYW is here. And, moving beyond the initial reaction like 'Gosh, I hate it' or 'Wow, I love it', I would like to try and analyze what this new feature holds for different parties in the game.

Google

The blessing

There are over 2 billion people using the Internet on the globe. Out of these 2 billion, 90 million users have G+ accounts as of January 2012. This means that about every 20th Internet user will be exposed to the new feature IN FULL. Besides, signed-out users will be exposed to it to some extent, too (think of People and Pages).

AdWords Contextual Targeting – Another Keyword Analysis Tool for PPC and SEO

January 20th, 2012 by Andrew - Link-Assistant.Com

Getting the right keywords - the more I’m in SEO, the more obsessed I am with the idea of finding better and smarter keywords. Good for me and you, Google AdWords has launched one more keyword tool to bring light into the darkness. Both pay-per-click guys and SEO fellows, I have something to tell you about it!

The reason why Google invented one more AdWords tool is obvious - so many guys have tried the ad placement option for their pay-per-click campaigns and failed. I remember how disappointed I was to get CTR lower than 0.1% in just a couple of days after launching an ad group.

Besides, this CTR is considered by Google when calculating the overall account CTR, which made me even sadder, as it took me so much time and effort to raise it to 1%.

I guess my experience was typical. In a conversation with an AdWords strategist responsible for reviewing my account and making suggestions, I learnt two things: Read the rest of this entry »

Top Three Google AdWords Tactics You Could Make Use of

January 27th, 2012 by Link-Assistant.Com

guest post by Trace Ronning

Innovation is necessary to stay ahead of your competitors in AdWords, so today I'd like to introduce you to three things you can do as a part of your AdWords management that will make your life easier as well as open the door to more leads and sales.

1. Gmail Targeting

This tactic allows you to hit customers on a page that they likely spend lots of time on, their inbox. Gmail-targeted campaigns are great in that they allow you to use keywords that your potential customers will see regularly in their emails.

For example, if you're a cable provider you can use your competitors names as keywords, that way when people receive newsletters or bills from their cable company, they'll see an ad served up by you that reads, "Tired of paying too much for 'X brand' cable? Try us and save!" or something along those lines. Read the rest of this entry »

Social Media: One Approach Does Not Fit All

guest post by IslaMarie Turnbull

Social Media has long been a 'buzz' word in the world of digital marketing and generally features on every business's objective list. However despite awareness of the power which social media can offer to businesses, many businesses are completely clueless when it comes to measure the effectiveness of their social media efforts.

What many companies forget is that having a Facebook page doesn't mean social engagement with your consumers. This could not be further from the truth and in some situations holding a Facebook page may not be as beneficial as running a successful blog or Twitter account. With this in mind the key thing to remember is that not all social media accounts are going to suit your businesses and the way in which you engage with consumers/clients and so it is essential to select your social media ventures carefully as not one fits all.

Include Keywords

One of the most important aspects of search engine optimization is your choice of keywords and how well you use them.
