Separate agencies: very little cross-over
SEO separate: due to On Page activity, which is most importantPR separate: due to relationshipsSocial separate: brand building, CRMVariationsIn-house: smaller circles, less cross-overSeparate agencies: very little cross-over
Penguin: penalised such as keyword stuffing, link farms and link from irrelevant sites.As these signals went down, others up – social shares, taking over from PageRankGoogle likes ‘intent’: fans follow because it interests them, when they share, they endorse your brand and send positive social signals to Google
Twitter users who are deemed to be authoritative lend their authority to the pages they tweet.
Being a product of Google, Google+ has a tremendous impact on search resultsWith G+ Google can move away from social platforms it doesn’t own, to where it can reliably measure and use the dataThe +1 button needs to be implemented in every blog or website that you own, so that visitors click on that - a +1′d link has a higher CTR in search
Brand page important, content posted on G+ is indexed quickly – note the possibility of publisher rank
Authorship – set it up, increase CTR, choose pic, consider Author rank
Publisher rank?
10m users but growing rapidly – 3rd most popular social network – like Facebook, great sharing potential65% women, recipes, good for retail, but good for travel tooEverything that gets pinned to Pinterest is a followed link back to your website – enhance by including hashtags and linksUse the board
Bing (owned by Microsoft, which owns share in FB) - yes, but only 5% in the UK, 15% in North AmericaVital as part of your marketing strategy, for all its faults, but not so influential on SEO
While social signals are important, it’s the icing on the cake. A good PR is going to impact your SEO through link building
A mention in the press may get seen by 200,000 readers, but a link from their website can be worth more to you in the long runA good PR campaign will be mindful of this – big juicy links from high quality, high Page Rank sites are worth a 1000 link swapsEven more if you are making sure you ask for do-follow links and the right anchor text
Good PR means being good at social – target influencers, thanks them, curate relationshipsUse tags to extend reach in Twitter
