Google’s Algorithm Officially Integrates User Feedback

Everywhere you look in search engine optimization sites, the word of the day seems to be “Panda.” Or, if you prefer, “Farmer” – since the two monikers both describe the major Google algorithm that was implemented to fight off spam. While everyone is eager to figure out how to avoid being flagged as a spam site, another major element of SEO has just been made official: user feedback is a recognized signal in Google’s search algorithm. This isn’t exactly unexpected. After all, Google representatives have been saying for several months that user feedback, including on social networks, would be examined for its potential uses in search. Additionally, the Google “+1″ button released serves an almost identical function by allowing users to state, clearly and simply, which sites they like. Even further, Google’s “block site” feature allows users to point out pages that seem to be spam. Each of these services had an ambiguous impact on SEO. The +1 or promoted social search features, for example, certainly did impact the results your connected friends saw – but did it impact the site’s rank overall? Would it with enough +1s or other promotions? Similarly, while the “block site” feature didn’t originally impact search directly, how would that data be used? That’s all been cleared up with a simple statement in the global rollout of Panda: “We’ve also incorporated new user feedback signals to help people find better search results.” Of course, exactly how much will be impacted by these signals, how quickly shady optimizers will start trying to game this feedback, and what precautions Google is taking against false positives in feedback are all unknown.

Ad Tech 2011 Panel On SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Now, it's 12:11 PM, and this Ad Tech 2011 Convention Panel is about that ever-changing field of SEO or Seach Engine Optimization. (A panel just before Guy Kawasaki's talk about "The Art Of Engagement.) The panel speakers are Melanie Mitchell, Senior VP, Search Strategy Digitas, and presenters Lee Odden, CEO, TopRank, Rob Snell, Managing Partner Snell Brothers Consulting (who talks about "Redneck SEO" ....Geez, but it's actually a pretty good and funny presentation), and Simon Heseltine, Director, AOL. Yeah, that AOL that purchased The Huffington Post. Cool that AOL is in the house. What's interesting about the panel is that marketers, and digital marketers are in this room, but the people who really need to be here, but are not, are journalists and Old Media publishers. Everything that's being talked about here: basically how to use search and make a website to make sure people find your product - is relevant to an industry that's suffering in this area and is under the weird idea that paywalls will save them. Some interesting notes: 1) the SERP - search results - have changed, and because there's so much more kinds of data that's presented. 2) SEO is now combined with Social Media Optimization (SEO). 3) A lot of people invest in SEO, and marketers get the benefit. 4) Panel preaches what I've said again and again: you have to be multi-platform: on blogs, video, micro-blogging platforms, photo-sharing platforms, and so on. I call it "dropping the nuke." Just make sure the nuke, your content and the platforms, is large enough to really be a nuke. 5) Make sure your training your people in this stuff. The basic message is "optimize content." What's content? Well, if you're a writer, you should know: you make it. Source http://www.sfgate.com/

Users spend longer looking at Google results page than Bing

Search marketers have even more reasons to target Google with their B2B search engine optimization campaigns, as a survey conducted by User Centric indicates that consumers spend more time on Google's search results page than they do on other portals.According to the research, the average searcher spends 14.7 seconds looking over search results on Google, whereas they spend only 10.7 seconds on Bing. While User Centric notes this is likely because Google has a greater reputation for providing inaccurate results, this also means brands that rank highly will generate more exposure on Google, which is ideal for B2B SEO initiatives.Firms that use paid search listings will also be pleased to hear that as many as 90 percent of consumers glance at sponsored placements before moving on. "This number was comparable between the two engines and did not differ from what was found in the original study," notes the report.B2B SEO plans will become more difficult to design over the next few years as more companies look to implement search strategies. Thirty-six percent of companies plan to have search engine plans within the next two years, a Network Solutions study indicates.Source http://www.komarketingassociates.com/

ThinkBIGsites Ranks #2 in Top Search Engine Optimization Companies for January 2011

Posted By Jeev Trika
The independent authority on search vendors, topseos.com, has announced the Best SEO companies for January 2011. An independent research team that was assigned to the search engine optimization category reviewed each applicant in order to determine the top SEO companies. ThinkBIGsites made its presence as one of the Top 10 players in the rankings for this month in a field of thousands worldwide.
An extensive review was completed and the research team found that ThinkBIGsites is a pioneering leader in Search Engine Optimization, Pay Per Click Bid Management, Social Media and Website Design. Last year, ThinkBIGsites is an SEO powerhouse that has captivated the attention of many online customers because of its outstanding SEO results for their clients on a consistent basis over an extended period of time. As the research team has probed deeper into what made this company stand out among its peers, it quickly became evident as topseos.com received overwhelmingly positive feedback from their consistently growing list of clients from all over the world.
As an independent ranking authority, topseos.com could not ignore the ever increasing global buzz that surrounds ThinkBIGsites. Based on further extensive evaluation of ThinkBIGsites.com, the ranking authority felt compelled to move them from 10th position in SEO all the way up to 2nd position for this month of January 2011. In fact, it can be expected that ThinkBIG moves up again to the Top position in the coming months based solely upon client results, client satisfaction, client retention as well as a tremendous increase in new accounts and revenues. This company is clearly focused on becoming the most well known and trusted SEO/PPC company in the world today and they are on pace to do just that.
Marc Arner, Managing Partner of ThinkBIGsites, said, “We know how difficult and frustrating it could be to find the perfect Internet Marketing firm and as an expert in this field, we, in ThinkBIG, has world-class technical prowess and unparalled level of customer service that really separates us from the pack. OVER the years, we have proven to be very flexible with the ability to provide the one on one attention required by our clients to accommodate their needs regardless if they are a small start-up company or those of a Fortune 100 company.”
Established in 2007, ThinkBIGsites' proven track record of success and their continued drive for excellence has earned the company the reputation of delivering proven, safe, fast and affordable results to businesses of all sizes and types. Its full line of scalable "Organic" SEO solutions are small enough to accommodate the local business owner and large enough to impress any Fortune 500 company. ThinkBIGsites thinks outside the box while conventional SEO firms continue to go by the "old book"; and while they may promise their clients the world, they often leave them with as little online web presence as having a "billboard on the moon." With their Organic SEO, ThinkBIG can definitely get results their clients ever wanted.
Moreover, ThinkBIGsites owns several top rankings in topseos.com for this month of January 2011, #2 - Best SEO Company, #4 - Best Social Media Marketing Company, #5 - Best Pay Per Click Management Company and #6 - Best Link Building Company. The firm has gained reputation in implementing effective SEO techniques by controlling their clients websites’ popularity and authenticity. topseos.com has been ranking the best internet marketing service providers since 2002.
