Why Keyword Ranking Is Not What You Should Focus On

December 12, 2013 by James Seymour

Tweet

keyword rankingFor as long as I can remember, keywords and keyword ranking have always been at the centre of any searches we make on Google and other search engines. They have been the backbone of any effective SEO strategy for a long time, and still is for a majority of people who aim to get better rankings for their websites.

However, with Google’s decision to implement a policy that focuses more on content over keywords, that simply is not the case any more. If anything, a website owner who wants more search engine success should no longer spend a lot of time, energy and effort on keyword ranking. Here are some reasons why keyword ranking is not what you should focus on these days.

Ways to Make Emails More Clickable

December 11, 2013 by James Seymour

Tweet

make emails more clickableA lot of online marketers tend to overlook just how important it is to make emails more clickable. One of the best inbound marketing strategies out there is sending emails to people who actually chose to get such message from you. Still, for one reason or another, some of those emails still get lost in the inbox litter of the person you’re sending it to.

Even worse is the fact that some of your emails end up in the spam folder. Even when someone actually opens that email, their likelihood of actually opening it is quite low.

This can get incredibly frustrating, I know. After all, you poured your heart and soul into the content of that email, and people seem to be ignoring it just the same.

However, there is still reason to cheer up. You can still actually improve your clickthrough rates, the open rates and lead generation for your emails.

Facebook and Google PlusIt’s true that Facebook and Google Plus are both social networking websites, the largest and the second-largest in the world today, respectively. The comparison, however, has to end there. Google Plus, as anyone who uses most social media services as part of an overall marketing strategy would know, is more than just a simple social networking website.

While both Facebook and Google Plus are great for sharing pictures of your most recent vacation or videos of funny cats and dogs, the latter actually has more serious business capabilities. Let’s delve into these 5 reasons why there is no comparison between the two:

why your website has to be mobile friendlyIt’s a little surprising to know that many among the hundreds of millions of websites in the world are not mobile friendly.

If anything, a business should take complete advantage of the opportunity provided by the mobile device boom. Here are a number of reasons why your website has to be mobile friendly.

What Topics Should Your Company’s Blog Cover?

December 2, 2013 by James Seymour

Tweet

topics your company’s blog should coverIt can never be stated enough that in this Internet-driven world, every single business should have its own blog.

November 11, 2013 by James Seymour

Tweet

keep your desk clutter-free permanentlyOK, so you read somewhere on the Internet that Albert Einstein had a really messy desk, and so did other geniuses in history. Like most people, you automatically create a link between a messy desk and creativity, so you leave your desk the way it is.

Regardless of what people say about these genius’ desks, it is a fact that majority of business owners believe that a clean and organised desk leads to increased productivity. In all honesty, pointing to the messiness of the desks of geniuses is just an excuse to not do anything about your own messy desk.
