SEO Objective For Links

The number #1 objective for performing any SEO for your website is ranking higher so that you receive more visitors. Google is the number #1 most used search engine. One of the top priorities for Google is to deliver the most relevant results that are authentic and answer the users search query. They have initiated algorithmic changes recently that aim to delivery these results. Matt Cutts, head of Google's Web Spam team continues to drive this SEO message to all web masters.

One of the key SEO algorithmic factors is still links. A few years back best SEO practices used to be buying links, trading links, guest posting on blogs and other media sites etc. These SEO techniques were quickly gamed by those in the SEO world and many links, especially from link farms and directories were not authentic. As a result of Google's Panda update, links have become scrutinized for authenticity and relevancy. Many sites were hurt from this because they tried to game the system and had hundreds and some, even thousands of bad links according to the new Panda update.

For SEO and content marketing to be effective, links must be authentically garnered. If you produce great content, search results will come. Matt Cutts stated this recently, "...the objective is not to make your links appear natural, the objective is that your links are Natural."

Numbers Are Better Than Bullet Points

numbering_vs_bullet_points_comparison_michael_newhouse_2014


I believe in setting meeting agendas and following up with notes containing action items. Over the course of my professional career, I have lead teams in a variety of industries with all levels of staff. What I have found from testing is that numbering discussion items to be more effective than using bullet points.

Participants have commented that they are able to focus on the items better. Not feel overwhelmed by a paper or digital screen with a variety of dots. As a result, participation is higher due the attendees engagement with the items at hand.

Best Task Management Platform

I have tried a variety of task management platforms (techniques) by creating my own excel document, Google task manager and a variety of online platforms. But nothing seems to stick or be exactly what I am seeking. So now, I leave it up to my network of contacts for suggestions, recommendations and insight into what they have used and find to be the most efficient task manager platform to use for success.

Please comment below with your best task management platform.

Marketing, You Can Only Predict And Measure

Marketing is strategic, creative and measurable. Marketing imitates sales in addition to supporting. Both are equaling important to the bottom line. Yes, there are exceptions to the rules, but these are only rare in frequency.
