1. How to get more visitors with Google Instant search |
Last week, Google released Google Instant. You have to adapt to this change if you don't want to lose many website visitors. In this article, we'll explain what Google Instant is and you'll learn what you can do to benefit from the change. What is Google Instant? Google Instant is Google's new way to display search results while the user is typing the query. Google tries to complete the query during the input.What does this mean for your website? It's very likely that the search behavior of searchers will change. Until now, people had to think to refine their queries. With Google Instant, surfers get suggestions while they are typing and many of them will select one of the suggestions.How to get more visitors with Google Instant search Google Instant automatically completes the search query of a user while typing. Google uses the keywords of Google Suggest to complete the query.Google Instant is not a new ranking algorithm. It is just a new way in which Google displays the search results. Some keywords will now get fewer impressions, some keywords will get more impressions. It's important that you adapt to the change. IBP will help you to change your web pages so that they get the maximum number of visitors through Google Instant. |
2. Search engine news and articles of the week |
"Google stands to make more revenue from AdWords advertisers in two ways. First, the increased emphasis on expensive 'head' keywords means advertisers are going to have to pay more to be visible earlier in the search process.Second, with the auto suggest box pushing organic listings further down the results page, searchers may be more likely to click on the ads that are still prominently displayed."
"Checking the backlinks of your competitors can greatly improve the position of your own website on Google and other search engines. Websites that link to your competitors are websites that could link to your site. Reverse-engineering the link structure of your competitors often reveals very helpful information.Do your competitors participate in link schemes? Is there anything unusual in their backlinks? Do they get the majority of their backlinks from only a handful of sites? Do most of the backlinks to your competitors come from the same IP address range?"
Bing and Yahoo! ? same algorithm, different results
"Yahoo! and Bing are now driven by the same search algorithm for natural results. That means that when you search for a term on Bing, the results you see are the same as if you were to search on the term on Yahoo?right? Wrong. [...]There is still a need to track your position or exposure to search terms across both engines, especially if you are just below the fold for critical terms. You could be missing out on a front page opportunity. [...]When optimizing for Bing, consider if the term has related searches appearing. If it does, compare the query volumes and the competitiveness of these terms. Moving into a higher position for a related search term may actually bring you to the front page of your critical term faster than if you just optimize for the main term."Editor's note: use IBP's Top 10 Optimizer to optimize your web pages for Yahoo and Bing. Of course, IBP's Top 10 Optimizer also works with Google.
"A young Australian tech geek, named Long Zheng , tweaked Microsoft's Bing search engine to do the same [Google Instant] functions back in August 2009. [...]The interface itself isn't anything new. There was a site put up last year that does the same thing with Bing APIs. The magic was they (Google) were able to do it at scale, for all of their searchers. It's an impressive technical accomplishment for sure."
"The strategy we're proposing isn?t appropriate for multilingual sites that completely translate each page?s content. We?re trying to specifically improve the situation where the template is localized but the main content of a page remains duplicate/identical across language/country variants."
