The Importance of Page-One Visibility

No Comments

iCrossing released a paper on how important first impressions are. Here is an excerpt from their research page:

A brand’s position on search engine result pages (SERPs) is critical to driving site traffic. iCrossing analyzed natural search results for non-branded keywords for 10 clients and found that more than 95 percent of all site traffic from search engines comes from page-one results … Our findings also validate the trend towards longer keyword search strings by users and that there are opportunities for marketers to improve their page-one rankings by optimizing for keywords that show up lower in the results. In order to compete for today’s sophisticated online consumers, brands must have a deep understanding of how users arrive at their website, and the tools and know-how to optimize their site to stay in front of the consumer at every step of the purchase cycle.

Weakening Your Vote

No Comments

Consider the concept of voting. You really only can vote for one thing, with one vote. When a decision has to be made, you generally do not have the option to vote for both options or all of the above. This is because a vote for more than one of the options would skew the overall vote, and would in essence, weaken your votes from a full vote, to half-votes or less. In regards to search engines, every web page has a vote. How that vote is used effects not just the item or topic being voted on, but also that web page.

Search Engine Optimization Spam

No Comments

Greetings.

This is a rant, with a bit of raving.

I am seeing more and more sites designed with some concept of SEO in mind. This is great and dandy, however, it is starting to skew my search results, negatively.

When people place doorknob advertisements on the front door of my home, they accomplish what they want, in that i remember who they are. However, i keep them in mind so as to intentionally avoid doing business with them. Same with fliers placed under my car windshield wiper. To me, it is akin to spam.
