SEO Goes Natural & Social With High Quality Content by abbyode(m): 8:41pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
How to Comply with Google Panda and Penguin Updates Doing effective SEO has evolved into a more “natural” and “social” process. Algorithm updates, particularly Google’s Penguin and Panda, are continuously changing the course of conducting search engine optimization. Penguin targets bad links while Panda goes after poor content. Google, through their algorithm updates, has reiterated that website owners and search engine optimization practitioners must create a better experience for users. And that trying to manipulate rankings through keyword over optimization, link schemes, and black hat methodologies will only harm your website — and your business. Here are some Penguin and Panda update-compliant SEO methodologies: Publish High Quality Content The era of run-of-the-mill, duplicate, and poor content is over. If you want to get into the SEO battle and win, then producing high quality, compelling content should be in your arsenal. Great content is key to increased visitors, more engagement, more inbound links and higher rankings. 72% of B2B marketers use content marketing as part of their overall marketing strategy – BtoB Magazine 86% of B2C marketers use content marketing – Content Marketing Institute 90% of consumers find custom content useful. – TMG Custom Media 90% of CMOs say high quality content has a positive effect on audience attitudes – Custom Content Council 79% of marketers say their organizations are shifting to branded content – Forrester 72% of marketers rate branded content as more effective than magazine ads – Custom Content Council 60% of consumers feel more optimistic about a company after reading onsite custom content – Content Plus Stamp it with Google+ Google+ Authorship & Publishership Google+ is not just the search engine giant’s answer to Facebook. Plus is a social layer that connects all your Google activities. Google+ authorship in particular is a powerful SEO tool as it stamps your content on your website or blog with your identity as an author or publisher; and you are given credit for every piece of content you publish. The accumulation of authorship credits helps you to rank higher on search engines. Google+ is Growing Fast Has 359 million monthly active users as of March 2013 This is way up from 135 million in December 2012 From only 100 million users in September 2012 Claim your Authored Content By creating a Google+ profile and linking it to your website or blog, you can claim authorship of your content with your Google+ profile. Once authorship is claimed, your Google+ profile will show up next to your search results. Get Indexed Immediately Content posted on your Google+ will be indexed immediately into the Google search results, increasing the possibility of your Google+ network seeing your posted content in their search results. When your audience engages with your content it will be further advertised to your audience’s network. In this chain reaction, posts have the ability to go viral. Great Content plus Google+ Influence Search Rankings High quality and compelling content will most likely receive +1s and shares. These act like social recommendations, influencing what searchers see on Google SERPs while they are logged in to any Google account. Blog It!
