Coming In May Twitter’s Full Google Search Integration

If you feel that your "Tweets" are not found on Google, that may be true to some extend, however that is going to change.  Not all details are known yet, but “firehose” from Twitter  is coming to Google sometime next month.

 Dick Costolo , (Twitter CEO) said during Twitter’s 1st quarter earnings call  to "expect the integration to be rolled out in May", but that "he didn’t have a specific date to share." He also mentioned, "that Twitter is talking with Apple to introduce Twitter content into Spotlight search on iOS and OS X devices."

Costolo didn’t elaborate on what to expect from the integration with Apple or Google. He added, “That Google deal and relationship is all about driving our total audience strategy.   The goal is to get people to consume content and engage with that content whether they log in or not.”

Search Engine Result Page...Oh you mean SERP

Search Engine Result Page, a.k.a. a SERP, comes in two forms. Paid SERP and Organic SERP.  
Basically, it just means that a SERP is a list of Web pages.  If you have spent much time at all on Google, Bing, Yahoo, or your favorite search engine you have seen these before. Below is a picture of both organic and paid SERP from Google.  

SERP's are important for your business.  There is no argument to this.  How your business will appear to the person searching will either lead them to you, or away from you.  Sometimes if this is a flooded market  it will be difficult to reach that customer due to "Paid" SERPS.   There are tips for making your page, or business stand out against paid SERPS.

1. Work toward your specific content.  Your Customers may know who you are, and even what you do, but if you can be as specific as possible about your site, this can help your customer find you easier.  If you were the owner of Alabama Wholesale Socks, and someone searched for "Wholesale Socks" several business who sale wholesale would appear. However if your business, Alabama Wholesale Socks, sold a specific brand, Let's say Doc's Med Socks, and someone searched for "Wholesale Doc's Med Socks" you would rank high or highest among search engines.  Generalization does not work as well as specifics. 
2. Research the key words that best describe you. Keywords, are what describe what you do.  If you are a teacher, you would not need the keyword for small engine repair to be a word you key words.  Using <tags> correctly will help with this in your <meta> information.  This is geek talk, by the way.  
3. Consider PPC.  Yet another acronym.  Yes Paid Per Click may be valuable to you.  Google and Bing will "offer" free amounts if you use their webmaster tools, but in our experience this has not been very successful.  Not saying that it can not be, but if you are going to be successful, be prepared to open your wallet, because it can become costly.  

After reading this article you may feel that this is a lot of work, that is because it can be.  The main point is to grow your business.  At times this can be done yourself, but if you are not tech savy, you may want to consider hiring someone else to do this.  However, consider your cost because you do want to get the best value for your money, just like your customer...who is searching for your business...right now!
Have a Blessed day!

All Work is Done in the USA!

Bing moves up in power rankings among Search Engines... 4/16/2015 We all know that Google dominates the search engine market, but recent data released from comScore, has shown that Bing has risen 0.3% points to crest over the 20 percent mark.  While Yahoo was once the second , they have fallen behind Bing.  This while leaving AOL at the bottom of the pack.  In May 2009, Yahoo was in the position that Bing is in as of today.  Bing, however, launched in June of 2009, so having competition between the two was not needed in May 2009.  Just and FYI, Microsoft (Bing) and Yahoo joined forces in July 2009 to form a search alliance. Google’s is down a tenth of a point from last month, at 64.4 percent, but still holds strong the search engine force.  We all know that people refer to "Google" something,  However search volumes at all the major engines saw growth, and at some point in the future, we may refer to "Bing" something, although it sounds like hitting something....not searching. The effective reach of Bing is nearly 33 percent, given that it serves both Yahoo ad search and organic search results. I think it is safe to say that web developers and SEO experts are going to have to make sure that we do not only watch for updates form Google and Google Webmaster Tools, but that We also watch to see what Bing is doing....if your are not already...which you should be!

Changes in Google's April 21st Algorithm

Changes in Google's April 21st Algorithm 

4/14/2015

It is widely known that Google will be changing it s Algorithm on April 21st.  We believe Google will launch a new mobile crawler (probably with an Android user-agent) that can do a better job of crawling single-page web apps, Android apps, and maybe even Deep Links in iOS apps. The new Mobile-Friendly guidelines that launched last month focus on exposing JS and CSS because Android apps are built in Java, and single-page web apps rely heavily on JavaScript for their fluid, app-like experience.

 Garry Illyes mentioned that Google is retiring their old AJAX indexing instructions, but did not say how they would be replaced, except to specify in a Google+ post that Google would not click links to get more content. Instead, they would need an OnLoad event to trigger further crawling. These webmaster instructions for making AJAX crawlable were often relied on as a way to make single-page web apps crawlable, and we think that feeds will play a role here, too, as part of the replacement. Relying more heavily on feeds also makes it easier for Google to scrape data directly into SERPS, which they have been doing more and more. This probably will include the ability to scrape forms directly from Rich snippets.

We also think mobile UX indicators that are currently showing at the bottom of the Google PageSpeed tool will play into the new mobile algorithm—we have actually witnessed Google testing their inclusion in the Mobile-Friendly tool already, as shown below, and of course, they were recently added to everyone's Webmaster Tools reports. It is possible that the current focus on CSS and JavaScript is to ensure that as many pages are in the new index as possible at launch.

 What about sites that redirect to a mobile subdomain? 

Answer: This is an interesting question, because immediately after the roll-out of the Mobile-Friendly tagging, we actually saw significantly more mDot ('m.') websites ranking well in the mobile SERPS. It's almost like they counted the mobile subdomain as a Mobile-Friendly signal, but started the algorithm fresh, with no historical data to indicate which other sites had fewer obvious signals of mobility, like a responsive design, or an adaptive or dynamically served mobile site. It is also interesting to note that many of the Google representatives seem to have recently backed off of their strong insistence on responsive design. They still say that it is the least error-prone, and easiest to crawl and index, but they also now seem to be more willing to acknowledge the other viable mobile site architectures.

---

 

How do I know if my site meets Google's requirements for mobile friendliness?

Google has created a Mobile-Friendliness tool that will give you a 'yes' or 'no' answer on a per-url basis. Pages are evaluated individually, so another quick way to get a sense for how your top pages perform is to do a "site:" query for the domain in question on your phone. That will allow you to see all the pages indexed to the domain, and evaluate which ones are considered Mobile-Friendly and which are not, without having to submit them to the tool one at a time.

Google has been clear that Mobile-Friendly test results are binary, meaning that your page is either Mobile-Friendly or it is not. There is no 50% or 70% Mobile-Friendly result possible—no middle ground. They have also taken care to specify that Google's Mobile-Friendly evaluations are somewhat instant, implying that there is no proving-time or "sandbox" associated with the tag, but this could be somewhat misleading. There may be no intentional time-delay before a page is awarded the Mobile-Friendly notation, but it will only change after a crawl of the site indicates that the page is now Mobile-Friendly, so it is close to instantaneous if the pages are getting crawled on a very regular basis.

We have found that the tool result does not necessarily match up with what we are seeing on our phones. We have occasionally also noticed that sometimes two pages in the same page template will perform differently, even though the content that changes between the template is primarily text. Both of these variations could simply be an indication of real-time delay between the tool and the crawler—the tool does an ad-hoc check on the URL to assess mobile-friendliness, but if the bot has not been by the site to evaluate its mobile friendliness recently, then the page in question would not yet have the Mobile-Friendly designation in the SERP. With this in mind, remember that when you are updating a page, and pushing it live for testing, you must use the tool to see if the update has been successful, until the site is re-crawled. This also means that once you see success in the tool, the best way to get the Mobile-Friendly designation to show up in the results faster might just be to push a sitemap in Webmaster tools, and try to trigger a fresh crawl.

Will having a mobile app impact my mobile rankings

Answer: There are two things to consider here. First, if a mobile search query is highly correlated with mobile app listings (the app "download pages" in the Google Play and iOS App Stores), your app could see significantly more visibility within mobile search results pages. This is because Google has started treating apps as a new kind of universal search result, returning an "App Pack" of Google Play results for certain searches on Android devices (shown at the right), and adding an Apps drop-down to the main nav-bar on iOS devices (not shown).

An "App Pack" is a group of related apps that rank together for a given query, shown together in a box separate from the inline organic search results. It has different formatting and an "Apps" header. These often float to the top of a mobile search result, pushing the second or sometimes even the first organic result below the fold. This is also discussed in Justin Briggs' article about apps. Currently, there is a high correlation between Google Play "App Pack" rankings and exact-match keywords in the app title. Google also seems to be evaluating app quality here and tries to serve only higher-than-average rated apps in the App Pack (this generally tends to be around a 3.5 – 4 star minimum for common keyword phrases).

If Google starts to serve these App Packs on iOS device searches as well, all apps that have keyword-optimized titles and have high-quality ratings and reviews could jump up to the top of the mobile web SERPs, increasing their visability and likely downloads. Conversely, mobile websites that currently enjoy an above-the-fold #1 or #2 organic ranking may get pushed below the fold in mobile SERPs, especially for queries that are highly correlated with mobile app results. This could cause a negative impact on mobile website visibility (without necessarily changing standard numeric rankings), in cases where a query returns a mobile App Pack—regardless of whether or not an app within that pack is yours.

Second, Mariya Moeva (Google Webmaster Trends Analyst) recently announced at SMX West that Google will be considering "high quality" apps to be a positive ranking factor in mobile search. We took this to mean that Deep Links between your website and your app will improve your website rankings in mobile search. Deep Links are different from app store listings in the App Store or Google Play, because they link directly to a specific screen within your app experience. They look just like regular links in the mobile search result, but when you click them, you are given the option of opening the link in on the web or in the app.

Currently, if you add Deep Links to your Android mobile app and associate your app URIs with corresponding (content-matching) webpages, Google will recognize the connection between your app content and your web content (and allow users who have your app installed to access your content directly in the mobile app). 

Have a great day!

Having Backlinks is important to show your site's strength, but stay away from paid, or low quality links!

If you have a website there is no doubt that you have tried to build links.  These backlinks for a time were a good way to have search engines pick up your site, and show you had connections.  However what developed from this is not quality backlinks, but "Paid" backlinks, which usually came from "Spam" website.  These Spam backlinks now are something that we need to eliminate as we develop our SEO plan for our site.  
Due to this Google started to degrade or penalize websites for having bad backlinks.  These penalties would "lower" your websites appeal to Google, and lower your search rankings.  When this happens to site, there has to been time, effort, and money spent to recover the penalty from Google.  You can insure your home to protect it, but what about your website?
It is important to monitor your site's performance and who is linking back to you.  The only problem with this is that as business owner you may not have time, or staff on-hand to do so.  Jump Start Social Marketing is happy to help with this...yes it is a sales pitch, but not a scare tactic, just fact.  We only backlink to quality sites.  If those sites were to ever become a "danger" to your site, we break the connection with them.  
So if you are up the challenge of building quality backlinks, how do you do so?  By using tools such as Google Webmaster Tools disavow tool.  The ability to do this is very simple, however it is important to use a multiple of sources to find the sites that may be bringing your rankings down, i.e. Bing Webmaster tools, Majestic, Google Webmaster tools.  
Again, this is what we do, help your Business site grow.  We do the work so you can focus on your business.  If you will venture to see, we also do not sell backlinks.  This is a bad practice, one in which we do not recommend.  
Have a Great Day!!

Why your site needs quality backlinks

What will the new Google "Mobile-Friendly" update mean to your site?

If you have not already given your website the "Mobile-Friendly" face-lift it needs, it is time to do so.  
Not being mobile friendly could possibly cost your business and website up to 41% of a decrease in Mobile traffic.  This number can be different for ever site.  However given that 30% of search access is from a smartphone (according to seoClarity) it is necessary to be prepared!

Having a website that is fully mobile friendly is just as important.  If your homepage is not mobile friendly, the cost could be greater due to the fact, that your site may be downgraded, even though you may have other mobile friendly pages.  
Now as the business owner you may think..."Instead of worrying I will just simply hire a developer to fix all of my problems. "  This is a great idea in theory, but sometimes depending on your site, development may take some time. Due to the fact that the Google change is coming this month, time may be limited.  While hiring a company is the best to make sure you have the right "fix," it may cost you search results in the time it takes to transition your site.  
We recommend that you use Google's Mobile Friendly Testing Tool to do a SEO health Check-up on your site!
Have a Great Day !

Is your site ready for Google's new Algorithms?

On April 21st, Google will be changing it's algorithms to favor websites which are mobile friendly.  According to Google Webmaster Central...
         "Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal."
So what does this mean for your website and company?
Lost Customers, Searches, and Sales....
Put plainly you need to be prepared to be ready for the Google change.  If you do not have a website, but your considering one for your business...Jump Start Social Marketing Automatically creates you a mobile friendly website with our Website Design packages.
However, if you have an existing site you can check to see if it meets Google's Standards by visiting:
Google Mobile Friendly Test Page

 

This will also be important in how your business is posted on Google search results on mobile devices: If you can see the term "Mobile-friendly" is positioned beside Jump Start Social Marketing page description.   A notable feature of the mobile algorithm is that it analyzes mobile compatibility on a page-by-page basis, rather than a website-wide basis. What does this mean to your site?  Your entire site will not be penalized, just the pages not optimized will be dropped lower. If your site has some mobile-optimized pages, however some pages are not, Google will promote the pages with are optimized for mobile use.

The good news is, that it will be maintained day-by-day.
Gary Illyes of Google explained "That the algorithm runs in real-time, so technically, you can do it any day, and as soon as Google picks up on the change, the site will start to benefit from the new mobile-friendly algorithm change."
This means the algorithm will operate in real-time.  

So what you do to prepare?
1st check the mobility of your site, and if you do not have a website, consider a company which will be optimizing your site for the change.  Google will also be deriving rankings based on APPs.  If your company does not offer an APP consider doing so. 3rd comply with Google...someone may be searching for you!

Why use Rich Snippets on my Website

Why use Rich Snippets on my Website 

4/2/2015

Rich Snippets Definition. Rich Snippets...provide a small sample of a site's content on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) of search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. They enhance your search listing, making it more enticing for users to click on and easier for search engines to extract information

What Content Types Are Supported?There are three different markup specifications currently recognised by the major search engines:

• Microdata
• Microformats
• RDFa

with Microdata being the most widely supported, specifically the schema from Schema.org.
Open Graph tags and Twitter Cards are a form of structured data markup, but they should be employed along with Rich Snippets, not in place of.

Rich Snippets, or structured data markup, can be used on the following content types:

• Organizations
• Reviews
• People
• Recipes
• Events

ORGANIZATIONS (You can markup data such as your business address, telephone, etc. which helps local SEO efforts by providing more information towards your Google Map listing.

How to Add Rich Snippets to Your Content Structured data markup does not need to be added to every single content property, though having more content marked up does help search engines present results better. It must also be noted that you should only mark up visible content – hidden page elements and content in hidden div’s do not need to be marked up.

Rich Snippets will help search engines point to specific content on your site, while giving better information, and will help gain you more sales from your organic search customers!
