History of Search
What is SEO?
Rand Fishkin – CEO of Moz.com
“SEO is the combination of tactics and strategies,
including, but not limited to, optimization of
information architecture, usability, content focus,
audience targeting, design, development, keyword
research, keyword placement, link building, social
media marketing and any other online or offline
branding/marketing elements that support the goal of
receiving more traffic from search engines.”

Search Engines used classical information retrieval techniques
developed in the 1960s and brought them online.
How Did Google Get so Big?
Google changed the game with more academic approach.
• PageRank
• Citations & Links
• More accurate and useful to search users.
• Continually adapting the algorithms.

The Theory of Search
Engine Optimisation
3 Pillars of SEO
3 Pillars of SEO
TECHNOLOGY
REPUTATIONCONTENT
SEO Primary Ranking Factors
Relevancy:
How close a match a given web page is
to the term being searched upon
Google determines this from elements
on the page such as the page title, URL,
content and the anchor text of links on
the page
Authority:
How important a web page is in the eyes
of Google and at the heart of the Google
algorithm - called PageRank
Calculated based on number of inbound
links from other web pages and the
authority of those web pages
On Page Factors Off Page Factors
How is this typically achieved?
Projects are typically approached in four stages:
1. Research & Analysis (what key phrases are people searching
for?)
2. On-page Optimisation (to create new / optimise existing
website content including images, videos and pdf documents)
3. Off-page Optimisation (to increase a websites authority /
importance)
4. Social Media Optimisation (optimise your presence on social
media websites)
SEO offers: cost-effective customer acquisition, fixed costs,
measurability, brand visibility and credibility, repeat business
and a wider insight into customer behaviour
Links from other
websites are still
a predominant
ranking factor
for Google.
Social Metric still
play a relatively
small role.

a monthly basis. The higher the
volume the higher the
potential for traffic

Intro to Technology
The meta robots
noindex tag has been
left on after the

Local Strategy
3 Main factors affecting
local results
Relevance is how well a local listing
matches what someone is
searching for. Adding complete and
detailed information about your
brand in a specific country can help
us better understand your business
and match you to relevant search
results.
1. Relevance
Just like it sounds -- how far is each potential
search result from the location term used in a
search? If you don't specify a location in your
search, we'll calculate distance based on what
we know about your location.
2. Distance
This describes how well-known or prominent a
business can be. This is based on information
we have about the company from across the
web (like links, articles, and directories). Some
businesses are more prominent in the offline
world, and we try to reflect this online as well.
3. Prominence
Stand Out, Be Found

Reputation
Outreach
(LinkBuilding) and
Social
Intro to Reputation (Link Building)
Reputation
In a February, 2014 Google Webmaster video Matt Cutts
stated that,
“…backlinks, even though there’s some noise and certainly a
lot of spam, for the most part are still a really, really big win
in terms of quality for search results.”
Meaning that link building is still a crucial step to be made
by any company seeking to be seen in the SERP’s

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Intro workshop and we will try cover everything as simply as we can but if you want to ask a question please feel free to do so. We will start with what SEO is, We will then look at Early search engines, how google changed the industry and how they grew so big. We will then look at the differences between Organic and Paid search. We will then cover how search engines have changed over the years and what this has meant for SEO. We then go into what makes up an SEO campaign and then cover keyword research in detail. At the end we all conduct our own key-phrase research.
  2. Most of you here today will know what SEO is to some degree but for those of you that are unsure and a reminder for the others in the room Rand Fishkin one of the leading figures in SEO considers SEO to be….. Essentially SEO is a way to use search engines to drive more traffic to your website and increase brand awareness in the process.
  3. We all use Google but how Changed the way search engines worked Classical information retrieval technique developed in the 1960s Talk through diagram Lead to inaccurate results and the spammy practices and keyword stuffing and cloaking. Gap in the market
  4. As a result there was a gap in the market for a smarter more accurate search engine and in stepped Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were academics at Stanford University Developed PageRank People think it is named after the ranking of pages or the value of pages on the web Academic principles Example paper on dolphin intelligence you would use papers by leading marine biologists. Take this principle to the web All links not equal joes cupcake blog and bbc food network blog Google assigns a score to each webpage This lead to more accurate results and Google grew from strength to strength. This is a very simplistic explanation of the algorithm and Google is constantly adapting the algorithm. Most SEOs say that there are over 200 factors that determine rankings but links are still considered the most important.
  5. This algorithm has lead Google to be…
  6. We can see that Google is the dominant player in most countries around the world with 67% market share in countries like the UK, Australia, Brazil & Mexico. However there are countries were Google does not dominate the search engine market.
  7. The three main Search engines that dominate market share are Baidu in China, Google has struggled with regulations in china but these have recently been lifted so Google might see an increase in users. Yandex in Russia and Naver in South Korea.
  8. I imagine most of you know the difference between paid results and organic results. Paid results are the top 3 results here and all the results down the side. We can see these days Organic search takes up very little space above the fold.
  9. Despite this Organic search still accounts for 80% of all clicks from the SERPs. Organic results are more trustworthy compete with millions of pages Paid on the other hand cans get up there by paying so the biggest budget gets the most clicks which can lead to some inaccurate results.
  10. High volume equals high clicks
  11. Both drive traffic from the same source Differences in tactics Sekari highly recommends a combined approach.
  12. It took them a few years but they made some significant changes to tackle poor quality content and webspam. They started with Penguin & Panda. rocked the SEO world. Up to 5% of search queries Panda and Penguin updated & improved. The third major update, was a total revamp of the entire algorithm was Hummingbird in August 2013. understanding the intent of search and lead to semantic search being possible, Google now understood the relationships between keyphrases.
  13. What did each of these changes mean for SEO and search engines? We start with Panda, Websites that copied other peoples content or had more ads on the page than real content were punished. The next update was Penguin, Here Google’s goal was reduce the number of websites by using link farms or schemes. JC Penny Hummingbird The goal here was not to punish websites improve the results by determining what the searchers intent and sematic relationship between queries was rather than just ranking websites according to the query. “car insurance” and “auto insurance”

  16. How do we go about creating good SEO campaign and platform We consider SEO to be made up of three pillars all working together to make a successful SEO campaign. These are: technology, content & reputation. One doesn’t work without the other
  17.

  19. Now that we know what makes up a SEO campaign how do we go about putting together a process for improving your websites visibility. This is where the SEO process comes in. All SEO starts with keyphrase research. We need to determine how users are referring to your products because this can very different to how you refer to them internally. Once we have a keyword set that we want to target we can develop a content and url structure and optimise each of these pages for the correct keyphrases. Once we know the website is optimized and technically sound we can start with our link building campaign to the main pages on the website, this process takes time and it can be a few months before you see results, we can then analyse our results in terms of rankings, traffic and leads and the process starts again, selecting the keyphrases that have not performed well and we start the process again, finding new keyphrases.
  20. As we can see KW research is the most important part of the SEO process, select the wrong keyphrases int eh beginning and you will have a difficult time trying to rank for them. Keyphrase research is the practice of finding keywords that people enter into search engines to find your products. Sounds easy, just type in a bunch of keyphrases into a tool and the ones with the most searches are the ones we go for, or we know what we call our products and the world knows about our products, we will just target this term. But there are a number of factors that make a good keyphrase these are..
  21. Searches per month. paid search behavior. not always accurate local and global search volumes, It is important to know what region and language you are researching not commercial in nature
  22. High volume equals high clicks
  23. Competition is a PPC metric that is based on how many people are bidding on a certain keyword phrase. It gives us an idea of how popular the keyword term is and how much effort it will take to rank for this term. Low competition can mean easier to rank for. However we do not use this metric much, it can be used to identify low competition keywords that we can drive traffic to the website via, generally low volume = low competition and therefore less valuable
  24. Relevance, search volume and competition can only take you so far user intent It can be difficult to determine what the user intent is just from a keyphrase. User intent generally fall into 4 categories. Navigational, informational, commercial, transactional) By determining the user intent we can see whether our content has the potential to rank or not and either choose different keyphrases or adapt our content.
  25. Most of you here today will know what SEO is to some degree but for those of you that are unsure and a reminder for the others in the room Rand Fishkin one of the leading figures in SEO considers SEO to be….. Essentially SEO is a way to use search engines to drive more traffic to your website and increase brand awareness in the process.
  26. Content refers to the onpage copy, title tags and meta,descriptions headers, the readability and relevance as well as the structure. Take this Wikipedia page. Keyword association

  42. Technology are the underpinnings of the website, Essentially it is important that search engines can find your website and when they find they can crawl and index all of the content. As an SEO we would run a technical audit
  43. Many factors affect how google ranks one website page over the other. However, two key ones are ensuring that the Google crawler can crawl your website efficiently by placing XML Site Maps And ensuring that there is no duplicate content. Another penalty is for cloaking. In other words putting text in the code that is not visible by the user on the website.

  50. We have briefly discussed links and reputation is the pillar that is influenced by link building and outreach. Reputation is made up of links & citations, brand authority signals, social media shares and authority. In terms of links it is the quality and relevance to your website that count the most. A change to the algorithm a few years ago saw big brands out ranking smaller businesses. Social media has started to play a bigger role in SEO however not as much as people predicted a few years ago. Social media is a good way to share and have people engage with your content. this then has an indirect impact on SEO through people linking and sharing it further. As your reputation grows search engines will favour your content and crawl it and rank it quicker than a newer website. Search engines know that if users are already engaging and linking to your content you are likely an authority on certain topics and therefore are more likely to rank your content.
