Integrated Internet Marketing

The golden days of marketing solely with flashy television advertisements or print media have quickly faded with the advent of the Internet as a marketing and sales platform. Online businesses have unique needs that need a multi-tiered approach to increasing sales and building a solid customer base for long term success. A uniform plan is no longer an ideal solution because the competition is only getting stiffer and more up to date with marketing advancements. Each part of an integrated marketing plan will help reach each business owner’s goals and Optimum7 wants to build one from the ground up for your company.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Proposal

Search Engine Optimization is an integral part of any effective Internet Marketing strategy. The majority of a site’s organic traffic comes from search engines such as Google and Bing. SEO is the process of building a search engine friendly site that is also informative and engaging. An effective SEO strategy will move your page up the search rankings.

Where your company ranks on the major search engines for related keyword phrases, your online presence improves dramatically. Most people begin their search for information, products, and services using an Internet search engine, but they rarely go past the first page of search results. If your site is not on page 1 for targeted keywords, you are essentially invisible and obviously missing sales opportunities. Optimizing your site will ensure that it does not stay buried for long.

Google Punishing “Over-optimized” Sites?

With another Google algorithm change imminent, Internet Companies will begin to deal with another challenge with sites that are considered “over-optimized”.

What is “Over-optimization?”

 Google’s Matt Cutts took a question where a user asked if over-optimization was an issue.  Cutts’ response can be heard here …

For Google and other search engines, over-optimization is “a euphemism for a little spammy.” Things like keyword density and hidden text are what annoy people. When you bring users in, they notice bad content. A bad layout, too many ads or keyword-stuffed articles essentially do you in before Google’s increasingly sophisticated algorithms and crawlers can. Your users are the ones who will be turned off, and your competitors will simply laugh at your attempts, which brings us to the crux of fighting off the ever increasing scrutiny of search engines.

Improve Ranking by SEO

Search Engine Optimization is the art and science of providing content that either solves problems for or entertains a target audience in a manner that is recognized and respected by the search engine bots. If a company does not rank well in the search engines, potential customers will not find it when searching. Companies without a solid SEO strategy are doomed to spend all their resources on paid advertising that has a very short shelf life, rather than SEO web content that can last and rank for years.

Start with a Framework

SEO Copywriting for a Global Market – Australian SEO

“Do they speak English in Australia?”
- Anonymous, United States 

Believe it or not, I was asked this question during my year of student exchange in the United States.

My response:

“Yes, but you’ll have to learn it first.”

Australian English is quite different from American English in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling and grammar. George Bernard Shaw said it best… ‘Two nations separated by a common language’. I openly recall Americans being confused and amused all at once by my Aussie charm. It wasn’t until I had lived here for little over a year and worked in the SEO copywriting field, did I truly realize just how much of a difference there is between the two dialects. Australian spelling is actually somewhat similar to British spelling due to our historical ties with Britain.

SEO Placement

Everyone is looking for the Holy Grail of Search Engine Optimization (SEO): that exact combination of words and tags that will propel a page to the top of the rankings. As a consequence, Google keeps changing its algorithm to prevent people from using technological tweaks to trump user experience in the search engines.

SEO placement techniques will always be a balance of providing content that is useful for searchers along with the digital clues that search engine bots can recognize. Unfortunately, many websites that fail to deliver quality content try to find shortcuts by manipulating the search engine bots. Sometimes, their tactics will succeed in the short term, but Google’s constant updates always push towards a better, more useful experience for the searcher.
