Paarami is a digital marketing company that helps businesses plan digital marketing budgets.

Rand's presentation on machine learning and deep learning in Google, Facebook, and beyond, and how engagement reputation will become key to every online marketing effort.
Rand Fishkin discusses how machine learning algorithms have changed search engine optimization. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms now use engagement signals like clicks, shares, and time on site to determine search rankings and visibility. This favors content that keeps users engaged and reduces bouncing. Fishkin provides strategies to fight against users clicking the back button, including understanding all visitor intents, optimizing click-through rates, improving signal-to-noise ratio on all channels, prioritizing user experience, and crafting compelling calls-to-action for top-of-funnel content. The new world is one of engagement-based reputation, so marketers must show platforms what they've got through visitor interactions.
SearchLove Boston 2015 | Rand Fishkin, 'Ranking Signals of the Future'Distilled
The document discusses potential future ranking signals that search engines may adopt and how they could impact SEO. It describes 7 potential signals:
1. Usage data of pages and sites, such as visits and engagement, could influence rankings.
2. Accuracy of information on sites could be measured and consistently accurate sites may rank higher in certain topics like health.
3. Query structures and popular brand searches could indicate strong brand associations that impact rankings.
4. Brands in the knowledge graph and as answers may correlate with higher rankings.
5. Clickstream data showing the paths users take to complete tasks could help rank sites users frequently arrive at.
6. Elements of user experience like site quality and
Featuring insights from The Wizard of Moz himself, Rand Fishkin reminded us during his popular SEO presentation at Content Marketing World 2015, search engines are constantly evolving their algorithms to enhance their ability to serve consumers’ needs. And while current systems are highly pro cient at classifying the terms of a search query, calculating its likely intent, and ranking potential results in terms of their relevance, the search engine of tomorrow will likely use more advanced methods of mapping (and manipulating) the mechanics of meaning.
What does all this mean for marketers? And, more importantly, what should you be doing now to prepare your content for the rise of sentient SEO? Read on!
This presentation examines how Google's ranking systems have prioritized searcher-task-accomplishment, and how SEOs must respond by optimizing for this process.
Rand Fishkin's presentation covering 7 of the biggest trends in SEO in 2016 from changes in Google's handling of keywords to CTR opportunities to machine learning and more.
This document summarizes Rand Fishkin's presentation on how marketers can keep up with Google in 2017 and beyond. It discusses 5 key things marketers must do: 1) diversify traffic sources to reduce reliance on Google, 2) create a scalable link building strategy with decreasing friction, 3) use searcher intent and changing SERP features to break through Google's results, 4) evolve keyword targeting to match Google's sophistication, and 5) focus on searcher engagement which may be a new key ranking factor. The presentation explores how Google is increasingly using machine learning and user data in its algorithms.
Search engines aim to provide the most relevant results to users by considering various on-page factors like content, page speed, authority and user experience. While keyword stuffing and other manipulative tactics used to work, search engines now prioritize natural, unique content and a good user experience over optimization. Modern SEO involves both classic on-page techniques as well as new approaches like optimizing for speed, enhancing search result details, getting social shares and producing valuable content to improve ranking. The focus is on creating a seamless search and landing experience for users rather than individual optimizations.
This document summarizes the future of SEO and SEM. It discusses how SEO will focus more on speed, user experience, and using artificial intelligence to better understand user intent. SEM will utilize personalized content, innovative bidding engines, and big data. Overall, SEO and SEM will evolve to prioritize positive user experiences through tools like machine learning as search becomes more conversational.
This document provides a guide to SEO basics and the changing SEO landscape in 2016. It discusses how SEO has evolved with changes in technology and search engines. Key points include:
- SEO strategies must adapt to changes in algorithms like Google's RankBrain and Hummingbird that better understand user intent.
- Keywords remain important but the focus is shifting to providing answers to user questions through content.
- Updates to Google's search interface and paid ad formats can impact organic search results.
- An understanding of recent changes is crucial for SEO success in the current landscape.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of managing content that can be found through the organic search results of a search engine. The benefits of SEO are, it’s free and passive web traffic month after month. Get to know more about SEO in this presentation by Skew Infotech, Coimbatore.
Presented at Business of Software Conference, Rand Fishkin (Moz founder and all round great guy) presents his summary of what to love and what to leave in SEO for 2014. In a constantly changing field, Rand stands out as presenting the clearest and most accessible advice on what should work to help your customers find you online.
Watch if you have any responsibility for finding customers, creating content or building marketing.
This document summarizes Rand Fishkin's presentation on SEO tactics that should be embraced versus left behind in 2015. It discusses how SEO has evolved over the past 5 years with more complex algorithms, user data signals, and an ability to detect manipulative links. Some tactics to leave behind include relying only on AdWords for keyword research, creating keyword-targeted pages of content at scale, acquiring links through directories and profiles, and expecting social sharing alone to improve rankings. Tactics to embrace include using multiple data sources for keyword research, focusing on uniquely valuable and helpful content, building relationships to earn editorial links, using content to drive social amplification, and measuring ROI at the page or section level rather than keywords.
When SEO and UX practices are combined, the results can be extraordinary. Rand walks through how the practices have evolved to have far more combined value than tensions and tradeoffs, and some ways for each to learn from the other.

The Healthcare Search Landscape in 2019: SEO, Content Marketing, & MoreRand Fishkin
Rand Fishkin discusses key topics in healthcare SEO and digital marketing in 2019. He summarizes how Google's search algorithm is changing to favor direct answers and paid results over organic clicks. This could impact search behavior by increasing zero-click searches. Fishkin then provides recommendations for marketers to focus on controlling their brand presence, influencing content publishers, and shifting focus to long-tail keywords. He also explores the growth of Amazon and voice assistants, and how influencer marketing has become difficult to track. Marketers are advised to build their brand organically before focusing on ads and conversions.
As web marketing undergoes its biggest shift in a decade, how we impact audiences needs to evolve. In this presentation, Rand shows how web marketers in content, search, social, and advertising (+ influencer marketing) can shift their strategic and tactical investments to align with what the big platforms offer, and how consumer behavior has changed, too.
Influencer marketing can be a powerful tactic, but the practice is far too narrow, and often focused on wrong metrics. In this presentation, Rand expands on what marketing through influence can do, and shows examples of a higher ROI form of marketing through channels of influence (not just Instagram & YouTube "influencers")

This document provides 7 lessons that would have made the author a better entrepreneur: 1) Focus on doing one thing well rather than many things, as it is easier to build a brand. 2) Prioritize crafting an emotionally resonant story over tactics or pursuing big markets. 3) Build for an audience you have a connection to rather than one you don't. 4) Launch products that early testers rave about rather than minimal viable products. 5) Get quality work done in fewer hours rather than long hours which reduces productivity. 6) Hire for cultural fit and train for competence rather than hiring the wrong people. 7) Have reasonable expectations of success and consider options beyond becoming a unicorn or failing.
Rand Fishkin discusses changes in search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine results pages (SERPs) in 2018. Google controls over half of all web searches but distributes traffic across different domains relatively evenly. Features like featured snippets and knowledge panels now make up a large portion of clicks. Marketers must adapt by optimizing for these features through content, links and other signals. Personalization also plays a bigger role, as Google tailors results based on location, device and user history. Overall, SEO requires a focus on providing helpful answers rather than just links.
One of the biggest reasons startups fail is the inability to scalably attract customers at low cost. In this presentation, Rand covers 8 reasons startups miss out on marketing success, and tips for how to overcome these pitfalls.
The Invisible Giant that Mucks Up Our MarketingRand Fishkin
Rand's presentation on the biases of cultural conditioning in the marketing world, and how history and media nudges marketers to make bad choices (along with loads of tactical SEO, social media, and content marketing tips).
The document discusses search trends and tactics for B2B SEO success in 2017. It provides data on search volumes and where people search showing that Google continues to dominate but is gaining more share. It also discusses different types of search results like featured snippets and how they impact organic click-through rates. Finally, it outlines six tactics for B2B SEO success, including optimizing for related precursor queries, publishing on platforms that easily rank, using lead magnets to capture content without barriers, recruiting influential contributors for links, and planning for a long-term investment with little short-term ROI.
How to Survive Google's Trojan Horsing of the WebRand Fishkin
Rand's presentation from Mozcon 2017 on how Google enters and often crowds out competitors in vertical search spaces (and how marketers can fight back against this threat).
What Startup Execs Need to Know About SEO in 2017Rand Fishkin
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on SEO in 2017 given by Rand Fishkin. The main points are:
1) Google dominates online traffic referrals, increasing its share to over 64% in 2017. Facebook and other major sites lost traffic share.
2) Most search happens on Google, with the average user searching 3-4 times per day on desktop and mobile. Click-through rates are higher for organic than paid search on Google.
3) Ranking in traditional search results may no longer be enough, as over 18 unique types of search engine results pages now appear, reducing organic traffic to some sites.
4) SEO does not work for every organization depending on
Google continues to dominate search and increase its share. According to data, Google's core search increased 5.9% from October 2016 to May 2017 while its closest competitors like Yahoo and Bing declined. Google distributes search traffic relatively evenly across sites while Facebook and YouTube tend to concentrate traffic on very large sites. Reddit and YouTube send the majority of their referral traffic to just a handful of top sites.
Rand's presentation on how to select strategic, digital marketing investments for your brand. Advice: step back, stop doing what you're good at or what you've been hired/asked to do in order to figure out what channels and tactics might work even better.
Rand Fishkin presented data on key trends in search engine optimization and search behavior in 2017. Some of the main trends discussed included the rise of predictive intent and implied queries based on user location and history, the growth of voice assistants and voice search, and uncertainty around the future of net neutrality regulations. Fishkin also highlighted the increasing importance of ranking in featured snippets and answer boxes in search engine results pages.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

High CTR for this position?

High amplification rate?
Low bounce rate?

landing on this URL?These are likely to be the criteria of
on-site SEO’s future… People return to the site
after an initial search visit
49. OK… Maybe in the future.
But, do those kinds of
metrics really affect SEO
today?

Unconscious Needs
An SEO’s Checklist for Better Engagement:
79. Via NY Times
e.g. this interactive graph
that asks visitors to draw
their best guess likely gets
remarkable engagement
80. e.g. Poor Norbert does
a terrible job at SEO,
but the simplicity
compels visitors to go
deeper and to return
time and again
Via VoilaNorbert
83. Google’s looking for
content signals that a
page will fulfill ALL of a
searcher’s needs.
I think I know a few
ways to figure that
out.
84. ML models may note that
the presence of certain
words, phrases, & topics
predict more successful
searches
85. e.g. a page about New York that doesn’t
mention Brooklyn or Long Island may not be
very comprehensive
86. If Your Content Doesn’t Fill the Gaps in Searcher’s Needs…
e.g. for this query, Google might
seek content that includes topics
like “text classification,”
“tokenization,” “parsing,” and
“question answering”
Those Rankings Go to Pages/Sites That Do.
87. Moz’s Data Science Team
is Working on Something to
Help With This
The (alpha) tool extracts likely
focal topics from a given
page, which can then be
compared vs. an engines top
10 results
90. Pages that get lots of
social activity &
engagement, but few
links, seem to
overperform…
91. Google says they
don’t use social
signals directly, but
examples like these
make SEOs
suspicious
92. Even for insanely competitive
keywords, we see this type of
behavior when a URLgets
authentically “hot” in the
social world.
93. Data from Buzzsumo & Moz
show that very few articles
earn sharesAND that links &
shares have almost no
correlation.
Via Buzzsumo & Moz
94. I suspect Google doesn’t
use raw social shares as
a ranking input, because
we share a lot of content
with which we don’t
engage:
Via Chartbeat
95. Google Could Be Using a Lot of Other Metrics/Sources to Get
Data That Mimics Social Shares:
Clickstream (from Chrome/Android)
Engagement (from Chrome/Android)
Branded Queries (from Search)
Navigational Queries (from Search)
Rate of Link Growth (from Crawl)
96. But I Don’t Care if It’s Correlation or Causation;
I Want to Rank Like These Guys!
97. BTW – GoogleAlmost Certainly Classifies SERPs
Differently & Optimizes to Different Goals
These URLs have loads of shares & may have high loyalty, but
for medical queries, Google has different priorities
98. Raw Shares & LinksAre Fine Metrics…
Via Buzzsumo
99. But If the Competition Naturally Earns
Them Faster, You’re Outta Luck
4 new shares/day
2 new shares/day
3 new shares/day
10 new shares/day
100. And Google Probably Wants to See Shares that
Result in Loyalty & Returning Visits
101. New KPI #1: Shares & Links Per 1,000 Visits
Unique Visits
÷
Shares + Links
Via Moz’s 1Metric
102. New KPI #2: Return Visitor Ratio Over Time
Total Visitor Sessions
÷
# of Returning Visitors
103. Knowing What Makes OurAudience (and their
influencers) Share is Essential
From an analysis of the
10,000 pieces of content
receiving the most social
shares on the web by
Buzzsumo.
104. Knowing What Makes them Return (or prevents
them from doing so) Is, Too.
105. We Don’t Need “Better” Content… We Need “10X” Content.
Via Whiteboard Friday
Wrong Question:
“How do we make something as
good as this?”
Right Question:
“How do we make something 10X
better than any of these?”
106. 10X Content is the Future, Because It’s the Only Way to Stand
Out from the Increasingly-Noisy Crowd
http://www.simplereach.com/blog/facebook-continues-to-be-the-
biggest-driver-of-social-traffic/
The top 10% of content
gets all the social shares
and traffic.
107. Old School On-Site Old School Off-Site
Keyword Targeting Link Diversity
Anchor Text
Brand Mentions
3rd Party Reviews
Reputation Management
Quality & Uniqueness
Crawl/Bot Friendly
Snippet Optimization
UX / Multi-Device
None of our old school tactics will get this done.
109. Broad search Narrower search
Even narrower search
Website visit
