Will Google Rank New TLDs Better Than .com Domains?

Google’s head of web spam, Matt Cutts, took to Google+ to bust yet another myth (there’s been a lot of Matt Cutts myth busting lately, it seems).

He points to an article from Adrian Kinderis, CEO of ARI Registry Services (described as “a top-level domain specialist”), which claims that the new top-level domains will “trump .com in Google search results”. Kinderis writes:

Will a new TLD web address automatically be favoured by Google over a .com equivalent? Quite simply, yes it will. I’ve been researching this topic since development of the new TLD program first began (around 6 years ago) and have closely followed the opinions of the many search industry experts who have taken a great deal of interest in the introduction of these new domains and the impact they will have.

The more I research, the more I have no doubt that a new TLD address will trump its .com equivalent.

Followers of Cutts may have some doubt. Here’s what he said about it on Google+:

Sorry, but that’s just not true, and as an engineer in the search quality team at Google, I feel the need to debunk this misconception. Google has a lot of experience in returning relevant web pages, regardless of the top-level domain (TLD). Google will attempt to rank new TLDs appropriately, but I don’t expect a new TLD to get any kind of initial preference over .com, and I wouldn’t bet on that happening in the long-term either. If you want to register an entirely new TLD for other reasons, that’s your choice, but you shouldn’t register a TLD in the mistaken belief that you’ll get some sort of boost in search engine rankings.

In the comments on Matt’s post, one reader suggested that Google doesn’t rank good content, but ranks popular content. Matt responded to that, pointing to a post we did on a video where he discussed porn sites and PageRank.

Google Launches GetMo Mobile Optimization Initiative in UK

Google has unveiled a campaign which will aim to help UK businesses optimize their sites for use with mobile devices.

The company said that the GetMo initiative aims to provide webmasters and developers with tools for optimizing sites to run on mobile browsers. Based on Google's HowToGoMo U.S. effort, GetMo offers testing materials, developer guides and case studies designed to help businesses optimise their sites for mobile handsets.

The initiative will also aim to help businesses locate and team up with third-party developers who specialize in building mobile sites.

The company said that the campaign is being launched in what has become a booming market for smartphone handsets in the UK. Google noted that mobile searches have grown by 400 percent over the last two years, with 84 percent of UK users claiming to have looked up local information on their phones.

Meanwhile, businesses have been unable to keep up with the demand and offer sites properly suited for mobile browsers, according to Google.

"As the smartphone explosion continues, more consumers are looking to engage with brands by searching for them on their mobile phone," said Ian Carrington, Google's head of European mobile advertising. "Yet the majority of businesses don't have mobile sites or a mobile strategy for connecting with them."

The launch of the GetMo campaign also comes as Google looks to boost its own share of the mobile browser market in the UK. Recent analyst reports have shown that Google's Android platform has been increasing its market share in both the handset and tablet fields.

Tools to Help SEOs With ADD Get Work Done

Almost five years ago, a client "diagnosed me" as having Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. She knew I had ADD because she did too. I laughed, and then did some self-evaluation…I think she was onto something.

I still haven’t been into the doctor to be formally diagnosed, but – all these years later – I’m convinced that there’s some truth to this (the people I work with - and my wife - would agree). And, based upon the many SEOs that I’ve talked to about this subject matter, I would say that the vast majority of SEOs believe they, too, “suffer” from ADD.

If you’re not too sure, or if you’re not familiar with some of the symptoms of Adult ADD, check out these symptoms, from Helpguide:

Trouble concentrating/staying focused – easily distracted; trouble completing tasks.
Hyperfocus – When you ARE into a subject, you are really into it; you lose track of time.
Disorganized / forgetful.
Impulsive – Have addictive tendencies (know any SEOs who smoke?).
Emotional difficulties – don’t deal well with frustrations.
Hyperactivity / restlessness – “racing” thoughts.

Why SEOs Have Symptoms of ADD

Today’s SEO is being asked to do a lot. To me, it’s no wonder that there’s some ADD.

A good SEO nowadays is:

Technically proficient.
A sound copywriter.
An analytics expert.
A usability consultant.
A PR genius.
A social networker who is strategic in their approach yet can mind the details to execute and actually “do some work”.

Chances are, you’re not going to find all of these attributes (at least not to the degree that you might want them) within one person. And, even if you do happen to find someone who has all of these qualities, they could – quite possibly – have ADD. Knowing that, understand that the qualities that make them “good SEOs” (inquisitive minds) can also lead to these folks drifting, following the trail, only to forget what they’re trying to accomplish.
SEO Tools to Get Organized & Get Work Done

When I originally wrote about this, there weren't many (any?) solid enterprise-level SEO management platforms on the market. My original self-evaluation taught me that SEO needs to be managed properly to ensure that good ideas and thoughts are put into actionable recommendations and completed by deadlines:

Is your company serious about process improvement and project management?
Do you formally document your entire process and implement this into robust project management software?

Today, there are many tools available to help folks organize their SEO work, so that ideas result in action items which (hopefully) result in results. I won’t go so far as to endorse any particular company, but here are a few that have been on my radar:

Linkdex
BrightEdge
Searchmetrics
Sycara
Conductor Searchlight

Other tools might fall into this category (and if so, feel free to add them to the comments, below), but these are just a few that might be worth your consideration.

The idea here is that there are tools available now that didn’t exist before. This goes to show just how far search engine optimization has come.

SEO tools help us to be accountable to our clients/companies and earn SEO marketing dollars, where we may have struggled justifying the expenses, previously, for lack of transparency in what we do, lack of understanding as to what the value proposition is currently, or what the opportunity value could be.

What you’ll find in many of these tools is an integration of analytics, and an associated “cost per click” value (that is to say, “if you bought this organic traffic via AdWords, it would have cost you X” or “the potential value of traffic, if you earn positioning for this keyword is X”). While the CXOs may never really understand SEO, they will always understand “value” and “potential value”.

When you can break that down into further transparency, the purse strings should open up. When SEO is no longer a black box, but rather something that can be digested and understood, people will spend money.

Google Webmaster Tools Finally Adds User Administration

One of the most sought after features in Google Webmaster Tools was to easily give third-party people access to your Google Webmaster Tools account without giving over your own username and password and without giving them full control of your site.

Google has finally satisfied this request by adding user administration to Google Webmaster Tools.

Now, site owners, who are defined as an owner if they go through the verification process in Google Webmaster Tools, can add access for others without making them go through the verification process. The access granted is either “owner,” “full” or “restricted” access.

Owner Access – Anyone who has verified the site in Webmaster Tools. This enabled them to add users via the user administration, delete sites, and more super controls.
Full Access – Granting a user “Full” permission means that they will be able to view all data and take most actions, such as changing site settings or demoting sitelinks.
Restricted Access – When a user’s permission is set to “Restricted” they will only have access to view most data, and can take some actions such as using Fetch as Googlebot and configuring message forwarding for their account.

You can add users either on the overview page where it says “manage site” and then by clicking on “Add or remove users” or under the “site configuration” section where it says “user administration.”

Google's Encrypted Search more securely 2012

Encrypted search is expanding internationally for signed in Google users, Google announced yesterday. That means you can expect to find less search query data thanks to the default secure socket layer (SSL) Google has enabled on searches.

Google will introduce SSL encryption on Google’s local domains over the “next few weeks.” At launch in October, Google encrypted search only affected google.com. Now that will expand to other localized Google domains (e.g., www.google.com.au, www.google.co.in/, www.google.co.uk), though Google’s brief announcement lacked any timeline specifics.

While Google touts the increased privacy and security of encrypting search queries and search results pages via HTTPs by default, it must be noted that Google’s advertisers still can gain access to search term referrer data. Encrypted search is available on Google’s local domains, but it’s not enabled by default.

Encrypted search paved the way for the launch of Google’s Search Plus Your World, as Google aimed to protect the privacy of users in preparation of an increased emphasis on personalized search results. One month prior to the debut of encrypted search, researchers showed how attackers could gain access to the search history and contact information of Google users using the Firesheep extension.

The arrival of secure search also brought “not provided” keyword traffic data in Google Analytics into the spotlight. While initially encrypted search was supposed to only affect searches in the “single-digit percentages”, some sites that rely more on organic traffic from Google have seen upwards of 20 percent of keywords reported in Google Analytics as "(not provided)".

Several Search Engine Watch columns have addressed what search marketers can do with less available search data. Below are links to a few offering advice for the post-SSL world.

How to Optimizing Product Descriptions on E-Commerce Sites

To run a successful e-commerce site, you need to focus on two kinds of audiences – humans and search engines. One of the most effective ways to influence both audiences is with your product descriptions. Fortunately, it is possible to write great product descriptions that appeal to real customers and to search engines at the same time.

The worst thing you can do (other than to have no description at all) is to use one provided by the manufacturer to all of their retailers. Canned copy on multiple sites doesn’t impress the ranking algorithms, and often you can improve upon cookie-cutter descriptions for real customers, too.

Writing your own product descriptions can be time-consuming, but the benefit is substantial. You might also consider hiring a copywriter to handle the bulk of the work, and rely on his or her professional writing background.

Writing Descriptions for SEO

• From an SEO perspective, try to write descriptions that are at least 250 words in length; this gives search engines something to chew on. E-commerce sites are full of navigation links, images, multiple calls-to-action, and other elements that aren’t textual content. It’s important to include enough words in your description to balance the other elements on the page.

• Identify your keywords through careful research, and try to include their variations within the product description. It’s ok to repeat the name of the product within the description body, too. But be careful not to keyword-stuff. As with any site, keyword-stuffing looks unnatural to search engines, and it’s not people-friendly either.

• Utilize your product descriptions to boost your internal linking strategy. Try to include links to related products or categories within the actual description. The contextual benefits of having links within paragraphs of text outweigh simply linking to related products or categories in a list that’s separate from the descriptions. When you link to other pages, use keywords that are beneficial to the page you’re linking to.

Making Descriptions Useful for Customers

• Take a tip from bloggers – avoid using one long paragraph after another when writing your descriptions. Vary the content and make it easily scannable by using sub-headers and bulleted or numbered lists. This helps your description from feeling too dense and overwhelming for your visitors.

• Include the item’s basics: color, dimensions, and material are useful for many products. Other products have their own detailed features that are helpful to shoppers. For example, a computer’s description should list the number and types of connections it has. A used car’s description might include its mileage, maintenance history, engine type, and condition.

• Don’t only describe the features of your products. Also outline the benefits that the product will provide to the customer. How will it make her feel? What can she do with the product? Does it provide a sense of security, or a sense of status?

• Mention any prerequisites needed to use the product. If it extends another product, make that clear, and also link to the “base” prouct if you sell it. List any batteries it might need. If the owner of the item needs to be of a certain age or to have a particular skill level, mention that too.

• A final source to tap is your customer service department. If they receive frequent questions about a certain product, find out what those are and include the answers within the product description.

By the time you’ve addressed the issues in both of these lists, you should have a product description that will be beneficial to your customers and to the search engines – which means a boost to your bottom line. So if you’re currently using canned or too-short descriptions, consider taking time to write custom descriptions to improve your business.

Add Your Own Background Images to Google's Homepage

Google now let you add a favorite photo or image to the background of Google homepage. You can choose a photo from your computer, own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery. "Whether you choose a photo of a loved one, a picture of your favorite vacation destination or even a design you created yourself, Google.com is now yours to customize. For those of you who want to enjoy the clean, simple look of Google as well as your personalized view, we've made it easy to switch between your customized search page and classic Google," explains Marissa Mayer.






















Google's homepage has always been simple and uncluttered. Those who wanted to customize the homepage with gadgets and themes had to switch to iGoogle, the personalized Google homepage. Lately, Google's homepage has changed a lot: the search box is bigger, there's a fade-in animation and a new logo, doodles are more interactive.

Inspired by Ask.com's themes and Bing's wallpapers, Google will allow users to add a background image to the Google homepage. "We're introducing a new feature that brings a whole new level of personalization to Google by letting you add a favorite photo or image to the background of the Google homepage. You can choose a photo from your computer, your own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery hosted by Picasa which includes a selection of beautiful photos," explains Marissa Mayer.

Google says that the new feature will be gradually released in the US and it will soon be available outside US. A lot of people use Google as their homepage and many would like to customize the homepage. I'm not sure it's a good idea to add visual clutter to the Google homepage and to make it load slower, but iGoogle, Bing and Ask.com have a lot of happy users.

Google Replaces SearchWiki with New " Starred Results "

Google removed SearchWiki, the feature that allowed you to customize search results by promoting them, removing them or adding comments below search snippets. SearchWiki cluttered search results and the aggregated results from public SearchWiki pages were rarely useful. SearchWiki has been replaced with a simple feature that lets you star search results. Click on a star next to a search results and you'll see it in a "starred items" OneBox at the top of the page. Another side effect is that the starred search results are added to Google Bookmarks, so you can quickly find them later. The "starred items" OneBox shows the most relevant bookmarks that match your query and it's the easiest way to search Google Bookmarks.

This is useful, because you don’t have to remember or bookmark anything. If you love “Chicken sandwhich” and search for “sandwhich recipes” on Google, chances are that you will see the relevant results which were starred some weeks ago. The starred results also sync with Google Bookmarks and if you use Google toolbar, you can quickly star items from the toolbar button.

I think Searchwiki and Starred items are good ways to organize personalized results but the latter is much smooth and easy to use. If the content is good, a user may not like to change the order of search results. Instead, he is more likely to bookmark the link for future refrence, which is why “Starred items” have replaced the Searchwiki feature. Searchwiki fans need not worry as all the Searchwiki edits are preserved in their Google account. Please note that “Starred results” are available only when you are signed in to your Google account.

What Is Keywords Density?

When it comes to search engine content King! Yes the King! Search engines want to Web sites which are rich in content. The contents are words that are embedded in the text on a Web site. The ratio of keyword density is one of the most important get good search engine ranking ingredients and influences in the search engines, as for the classification on the basis of one of its Web site.

For those who are not sure about keyword density and how search engines for its classification structure, configure I explained. Keyword density is the total number of times the keywords appears in the contents of the Web site, including images, text and hyperlinks ALT tag. I'll explain each of you so you better understanding of the principles. Keyword density is measured simple mathematical formulas used to configure your ratio of keyword density.

Configure your keyword density ratio take rate, displaying the keyword in the content on the Web site you divide by the total number of words and is keyword density. I you quick example keyword marketing: example: keyword "marketing-47 occurrences in the text on the Web site and if you 315 words on the Web site of your keyword density ratio is 15%.

The keyword density, the biggest impact naturally above the best ranking search engines received by you. Becareful, will not repeat the same keywords or phrases in the keyword density increase. The Web site may ultimately as broken record.

On Page SEO Factors

On page SEO factors are important because the search engines rank pages and not web sites. Of course, a web site should be optimised as much as possible throughout all its pages, but each page will be judged on its own merits to a very large degree. Optimising for page SEO factors is the easiest part of overall SEO. It’s the off page factors, getting quality backlinks to the page, that poses the most difficult problem.

If it is the home, or main, page of a web site that you wish to optimise the most, one of the best things you can do to give it a serious boost with the search engines is register a domain that is the exact keyword that the page is optimised for. Having the .com is best, but a .org or .net is pretty much as good too. This can only work for one page on a web site of course, but it is a powerful technique to use.

The first thing you should do for general on page SEO is make the document title in the underlying HTML code the same as the page keyword. You can have additional words in the document title if you wish, but try to place the keyword phrase near the beginning, and keep it fairly short overall.

Your meta tag description is used by many of the search engines in their listings, so use this feature wisely. Use your main keyword in the description near the beginning, and make the description interesting, informative, short and to the point. When a person searching for something come across a listing that has the exact keyword they typed into the search engine in the title, the listing description and in the domain name, they are more likely to click on it that all the others. The search engines will also consider such a page as being highly relevant, and they will rank it accordingly.

The visible part of the page can also be optimised. The page SEO factors that are important here are the main page title and the use of the main keyword in the body of the text, as well as the use of synonyms and related keywords throughout the text. Use an H1 tag to place the page title in. The title should start with the main keyword if possible and can have additional words too.

The body of the text should have the main keyword phrase near the beginning and should then have it included several times more, but not too much. The density of the main keyword phrase should be around 1% to 2% or so. It can be a little higher, but keep it readable. On page SEO factors only need to be there – not overdone.

Top 4 Basic SEO Factors for Website and Blog

Page Load Time and Page Speed emerging as a quality factor : We’ve already seen heated discussions on it and its getting lot of focus these days. It makes sense to me that Google might consider page load times and page speed as a decisive factor in page quality for a site. it may not be a direct influential factor but like a one in hundred factors that decides the quality of a page. I mean, if a page is slick and fast loading it makes lives easier for both bots and users right ? So if there are two sites, one with slower load time and one with quicker load time, then it makes sense that Google might treat the first one as more friendly.

Not saying that sites slower to load will be neglected, but they will sure miss an opportunity. Also, this doesn’t mean that sites on shared hosting servers will take a blow – no. Google probably is thinking of making it fair to al, but the crux will be that faster loading sites, since they have taken the pain in making it an easier user experience, will be merited overall. Let’s wait and watch.

Intra document/web page anchor placement : This is a new concept I’ve learned from Bill Slawski. He talks about a patent being filed that states that search engines (Google) might consider matching search queries with phrases/keywords inside the document/webpage and directly take you to the part on the webpage where the phrase/keyword is present, rather than the webpage itself. This will be a time saving exercise but again, this also might take webmasters aback, as we were not prepared for this.

Social Media Influence on SERPs : Is it there yet ? I don’t think so. What can be done ? I’m not sure yet. But social media influence on SERPs is definitely going to be more important in the coming years, and search engines have to find out methods to clear off noise from signal and device ways to feature socially popular stories/websites within SERPs in a fair way possible. This is something really tricky because there are websites that have not embraced social media yet, so it won’t be fair to avoid them from the SERPs just because of that particular reason. But Social Media sure is an influencing factor, and you got to figure out how to decipher it.

Dynamic content getting more meaningful and SEO friendly : Dynamic content was like quicksand for SEOs because of its complexities and limitations in optimizing. But its high time we recognize that we got to live with it. Not everyone wat to go “textual”and minimalistic, so search engines have to figure out what they can do to decipher dynamic content and make it search engine friendly. Parameter Filter Handling was a good initiative but we need more. article from www.dailyseoblog.com

3 Effective Ways to block Google Crawling

Let’s see how we can make Google stay out of crawling selected portions/parts of a website, effectively that is.

Lock and Key Method: The most effective and sure shot method is to use a lock and key mechanism. That is to leave those pages you don’t want Google access, locked behind. Recommended method is to use a username/password login gateway to those pages/part of the website, that you don’t want Google to crawl.

The Nofollow Meta Header tags : The next best thing to Lock and Key method is to use the versatile meta header tags. Pick up those pages that you don’t want Google to crawl, and add the meta=nofollow tag to their headers. Technically this makes Google “skip” indexing the contents of the page. However, this method will be rendered in effective if external websites link extensively to the URL and Google might just “see” the page somehow, while not indexing it still. Also, when you have a large number of pages to be screened out of Google, then adding the header tags can lead to complications.

Blocking the links with NoFollow tags : The third and easiest way to block Google from crawling certain pages/URL is to use the “NoFollow” tags on the links that point to that particular URL. Using Nofollow tags will tell Google that its bots needn’t crawl the contents of a page, as the content may not be useful. Even though this sounds technically okay, sometimes Google can “see through” the nofollow tags.

In my opinion adding Nofollow tags to links are like blocking entry to a room with a Glass wall. Google bots won’t enter the room, or index the contents there, but can very well see through the glass wall and will have an idea about what’s in there. So there you have it. Three effective (and ineffective) ways to block Google from crawling part/sections of your website. Each one works out well according to the condtions and crcumstances, and sometimes even you have to work out all the three based on nature of the pages you’re dealing with. article from www.dailyseoblog.com

Create a SEO Friendly Blog | Important Factors for Creating Blogs

If you want to Create New Blog, First you have to think what kind of Blogs this then how it will help you to gain more traffic and visitors therefore encourage more sales. So just what exactly is SEO and how can you add it to your blog..

What is SEO ?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and used to make your website rank higher in search engines. You do this by using certain keywords that show your site on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. However, it can be difficult getting your website noticed on the major search engines as they usually prefer your website to have been up for at least a year or two and having it linked to from other websites, is also sometimes needed.

Important SEO Factors For Blogs :

If you are looking to use SEO to promote your online home based business blog, you will need to take various factors into consideration. The first is that it is good to use as many keywords as possible to highlight your site, you should never use too many.

If you do use too many keywords, the search engines that you want to help you will actually ignore the site and consider as spam. They do not want you to overstuff your website with SEO content because if you do, it is likely not to be of a good quality. So, you need content in your website that reads well and has a good amount of keywords, but not too many.

The good news about a blog is that you can generally get away with using more keywords than you can in an article. This is because it makes more sense in a blog because it is shorter and it is a summary of whatever it is that you want to say. However, saying that, it would still be a good idea to limit the keywords and ensure that the blog does make sense with them all included. Hence you can improve your, internet business opportunity.

Finally, the main thing to keep in mind with Search Engine Optimization and blogs is that you need to make any external links that you may provide relevant to your website. If, for example, you have a website about cars, it would be pointless having a link to site about office furniture. The search engines will pick up on all of the links that you have and they will simply push your website down the list if they notice anything funny about your submission.

So that people can get real time twitter results in the search engines too. Especially it gives users better search experience to those who are looking for timely content.

Reputation ranking system for tweets :

We all know that whenever we click on the trending topic, able to see lot of retweets. They are planning to give Reputation ranking system to these tweets. No one knows how the system is designed. Even the twitter engineers also not aware much about this, why because they are still figuring out that which works better. Hope this ranking system will give a great user experience.
