PPC: Adword Campaigns, Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin Brief Introduction to SEO Stats Provided by Google Analytics & spyfu.com Stats provided by SEObook.com stats provided by Google Keyword Planner stats provided by spyfu.com Make sure all the content on your site is original If you find that you do have duplicate content on your site, it is important that you completely change the content to be original. Panda has gotten smarter and just changing a word here and there or using a synonym will not work. Make sure your content offers value anything that does not remove it. Remove content that is overlapping or redundant on the site. Don’t stuff your pages with keywords. Use several variations of a Keyword phrase but keep it specific to the product or service offer. Use Long tail keywords. Write your content for people visiting your site, not search engines. It is important your content answers a question or solves a problem. Write your content so that the person visiting your site can find and navigate to what they are looking for in a clear easy manner. Have your content written professionally or by someone with good writing skills. Try to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes. Remove or fix pages with very little content that is unsubstantial or otherwise lacking in specifics. Make your site more crawl-able and easy to navigate. A big factor Panda looks at in ranking is page load time. Ideally, a page should load in under 3 seconds, so make sure all of your images are optimized. Make sure your content is easy to read, font size & color are important. Avoid over optimization of the site. SE All the content on your site must be original and engaging The easier a URL is to read for humans, the better it is for search engines. Properly name pages, titles, images, and metatags Make site easy to navigate Avoid sub-domains: All content on a single subroot domain benefits all the other content on the site. Properly optimize site for fast load times Make sure you have relevant landing pages Content Strategy & Grassroots Growth Google Panda Algorithm: Content, Content, Content...but not to much!
