Image
The growth of the internet makes it increasingly difficult for a site to achieve good rankings in the search engines. In every niche there’s fierce competition for specific keywords. One of the ways to promote a site, and achieve good rankings is through search engine optimization (SEO). Link building, getting your site’s links on external sites to boost your traffic and improve the search engine’s perception of your site’s popularity, is one important strategy involved in SEO. Link building is also the most painstaking and costly aspect of SEO. The New Model of Link Wheel: Abuse of link wheels in the past requires a new spin on this powerful link building strategy. The link wheel  of today, while maintaining its wheel shape, must have a new face. Generally the main site to be promoted sits in the middle of the wheel, while other sites link to each other is a circular shape around the main site. Much like spokes on a wheel, every site within the circle has a specific li...

Best Alternatives to Google PageRank

Image
Page rank refers to a  link analysis algorithm   launched by Google to tell websites whether they are important or not. This  score goes from 0 to 10  and is based on an exponential scale. However, this score seems to be not as relevant as it used to be anymore. Google has been generally updating this algorithm every three months but in recent time, nothing has evolved. When Matt Cutts has been asked whether PageRank is going to be updated before 2014, he replied “ I would be surprised if it happened”. The last update occurred at December 6th 2014. SEO experts tends to say that PageRank is definitely dead but what was it and what are the alternatives now? Why PageRank was so useful? This link metric can be pretty useful for link audits because otherwise, PageRanks doesn’t have a real impact on rankings as Google is giving more importance to relationship and relevance. For link audits, PageRank used to deliver informations about low-value and spammy links wi...

A comparision of Mondovo vs. Moz vs. Raven - SEO and Web Analytics

In search engine optimization, the measurement of certain metrics is critical to success. These include data about rankings, referrals, links and more. Analytics software gives marketers powerful insights into their search, social, brand, and content marketing. The challenge is that this wealth of information comes at a price. Sometimes, because there is so much information, numbers and reports that you need to sift through, marketers get overwhelmed in trying to see the light of day through it all. But data overload should hardly be the reason stopping you from using analytics to improve your marketing effectiveness! Remember that successful marketers and SEOs alike don’t make decisions based on feelings. You shouldn’t either. Your decisions should be based on data and cold hard facts. The Concept of Closed-loop Marketing Successful marketers have a trick up their sleeve that not many of us know about. They tie every single lead, customer and dollar back to the marketing initi...
