An SEO Story/Journey, Is it worth doing?

I am Prem Nath Vishwakarma & I have completed my engineering degree with the stream of Computer Science & Engineering in the year of 2010. After that I have started my job hunting into the IT sector. I remembered that after facing 3-5 interviews I have got an offer from an early stage Startup as a SEO Executive. At that time I didn’t know what the meaning of this SEO & what my role or responsibilities would be. Anyways the journey has begun & i started reading & exploring the functions of this word called “SEO”. A few weeks later one of my seniors in that company came to me & asked how’s the things going on & my genuine answer that I am still reading & trying to understand what is Search Engine Optimization.

He just took my system & started downloading the Mozilla Firefox & then installed a few add-ons in its name – RoboForm, Form Filler & SEOquake. When it’s done he has told me to Click upon Ctrl+U. When i did that i just got scared with those HTML codes to come up with the new popup. He instructed to me that Just take the Title Tag, Description Tag & Keywords Tag data from there & put it into the Roboform given Fields along with the assigned project website URL, Name & email id. Then he open another surprising website for me name – Directory Critic & explained to me that just go upon the Free section & click upon the Submit Link Button & then a form came & when i clicked upon the Roboform Addon button it’s get automatically filled the data defines earlier apart from the Captcha in few directory cases. He told me that your Target will submit the 100 Directories on a daily basis.

It’s my first experience & action into this mysterical SEO world. I remembered that in the beginning I am able to do only 30-40 directories on a daily basis but after a few days I have started to hit my target 100 on a daily basis & even after a few weeks later I have started hitting the approx ~ 300 directories submission on a daily basis. The time flies & after 2-3 months I was getting irritated with this task because there is nothing to learn, but I was getting paid for what I was doing at that time so I have started reading about Google history, mission, vision & anything which is something related with Google & its products.

One day I asked a senior what is Google Analytics & Google Webmaster because I have seen sometimes few people are opening these websites on their system & have a discussion upon the data given into those dashboards. He suddenly saw me smiled & told me that you will be knowing them all later. One day they gave me a few articles written upon the word file & explained to me how I can submit them as well as the directory submission process. So I got introduced to a few more websites like – Go Articles, EzineArticles etc. 

Times have passed very fast & during the same I have done some Social bookmarking, Press Releases Submission, Forum Submission, Classifieds Submission etc. During this period I think that I have worked these activities upon the 3-4 websites & new year came. Party started & I told my manager that I know what’s the uses of Google Analytics, Google Webmaster & even Google Adwords because I had parallely kept exploring these tools with one of the my assigned projects where the email credentials are the same which I was using for my PR Submission process. Finally they involved me into the On-Page process as well & now my job is something like taking the Keywords Volume data from Adwords, downloading some random PDF reports from Google Analytics & looking into the webmaster for the Sitemap & robots.txt files. I have learn the basics of the SQL Queries, QTP, Bugzilla, Use Cases, Test Cases, Automation etc. Finally I have started job hunting again & i don’t know whether fortunately or unfortunately i have got an offer as a Webmaster into a Digital Media Agency in Nov ‘2011. They assigned me with two projects: 1 was a big Travel Website & another one was a Bikers Community Website. During this tenure I have done a lot of things like Campaign Strategy, Prepared Proposals/Media Plans, PPC Advertising, Mailchimp, WordPress, C-Panel, Filezilla etc. Earlier I was already good with the Meta-Data part, Keywords Research, Link Buildings, Google DB Analysis, Traffic Generation etc.

After some time I have again joined another Digital Agency as a SEO/Web Analytics Manager. Now Drupal, Open Source Community, Search Engine Algorithms & Trends Analysis, Many Books, Life Goals & Digital Identity “Premnath321” came into the picture here. Due to some circumstances & location concern I have to switch my job again & then reach the Old is Gold model philosophy (Binary Semantics Ltd) as a Sr SEO Executive with big Insurance/Automobile/Banking Clients. Now here process is the most important thing bcoz the cashflow is already in good condition for them & when you have 1000+ Employees then obviously process is something which can only drive these types of workforce.

Afterwards due to family relocation purposes I have to be shifted to Mumbai. Here I have joined an Edu-Tech firm (They are into the business of upskilling the Engineering Freshers & Early-mid working professionals who want to move into the DataScience/MachineLearning Industry.)

Currently I am working as a SEO Manager & looking into the different demographics around the Globe for the Researchers/Authors communities.

In simple maths – There are “X” amount of Internet Users who can attract upon our offerings, So we analysis & make a bunch of “Y” amount of the Search Terms (Keywords) which those user probably can type into any search engines to find the information & the Job of an SEO is that pull his Website/Page at the top of SERP. So finally you can get some % of the “X” amount through the search engine & obviously the conversion rate from Organic Medium will always be high due to the users intent to find those products/services.

At the end of the day SEO is all about the enhancement of your web/app presence upon the internet ecosystem, Even we can say it’s all about following the related search engine trends & guidelines to get more presence into the SERP. We can map our TG with the various tools present in the market & as per our product/service offerings.

Now money came in place & you need to allocate some budget for your SEO effort & expect ROI from it. That’s it…

It’s all about understanding how the Search Engine crawlers are reading your pages upon the web/internet. Eg – Google Crawlers
Now take your optimization decision with the given tools below –



In most of the cases, For the established Product/Brand, The channel will be –
Direct > Organic > Email > Social > Referral
Brand+Seed Keywords
Top Products/Keywords


For Startups/SMB –
Campaign > Referral > Direct > Organic > Email > Social
Company/Product Name
Long Tail Keywords etc.

What is Rankbrain Algorithm?

With Google Search’s Amit Singhal ready to move on, enabling John Giannandrea, who has been incharge, machine learning and artificial intelligence in Google, the search giant is sure upto some gradual but massive change in its processes. Taking into account the official announcement by Google about the launch of Rank Brain in a video interview given to Bloomberg, it sure seems to take the SEO world by storm.

In plain computational linguistics, semantic search seeks to improve search result accuracy by understanding the searcher’s intent and the context of the terms in the order of their appearance in the search dataspace, to generate more relevant results. Put into a layman’s terms, it basically throws in relevant key terms as soon as something is typed into the search bar of the search engine based on the expected context of the words.

Though it would be too early to predict the exact nature of Rankbrain, what can be said with some strong conviction is that it is a type of new ranking signal most probably working in conjunction with the current overall search algorithm used by Google Search, named Hummingbird that basically uses semantic search techniques.

what is rankbrain algorithm

Rankbrain incorporates the concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning for near perfect result to the query submitted in the search bar. It embeds vast amounts of written data into mathematical entities, called ‘vectors’ – that the computer understands. This is sure going to be more effective at handling queries of the sort never-heard-of-before and presenting a better success rate.

As told in the video interview given to Bloomberg, Rankbrain is the third most important ranking signal out of over 100 such signals. As for these signals, they are nothing but signs to convey instructions or information for a wide variety of attributes relevant from the point of view of streamlining online search results. For example if some words are in bold, it generates a particular signal that might be completely different from the one generated when some mobile-friendly query shows up. In a nutshell, all these signals together figure out the best possible search results for any query in the search bar.

Statistically, Google search entertains close to 3 billion search queries every passing day. In the year 2007, about 20-25% of those queries are never seen before . By 2013, this figure came down to 15%. It still accounts for about 450 million unique query per day, that may contain complex terms, multi-word queries, long-tail queries, etc.

What Rankbrain does is, it provides help in interpreting searches that people submit to find pages that may not have the exact words that were searched for. In a nutshell, all it does is streamline the search queries and align them according to the expected context and relevant information to give the best result to the user, free of ambiguities and as closer to the actual meaning as can be.

Though Rankbrain had a gradual roll-out in the early 2015 but it went live globally only for a few months now. Since then it has been processing a really large fraction of data. It also dictates to a large extent how any page ranks in the search results. However, it shouldn’t be confused as a new version to Hummingbird algorithm; it rather coexists and optimizes the Hummingbird.
The final word, what should this mean for SEO at present? Not much for daily activities, though optimizing web content using semantic seo practices would definitely help in the long run. This would in a way offer us a glimpse of what future SERPs would probably function based on artificial intelligence. Can it be the next cornerstone in search algorithm space? Let’s say… only time can tell.

What is “Mobilegeddon”. Is It Search Engine Algorithm Update?

Some time ago optimizing once for all web indexes was adequate. Google ruled preeminent over the search fields and others like MSN and Yahoo! held up the back, Google was all people’s fundamental target. Getting your site on a Google SERP was a definitive, arriving on MSN and Yahoo! was great yet not as satisfying.

What is Search Engine Algorithm For The Uses  – 

A decent search engine does not endeavor to give back the pages that best match the data query. A decent search engine tries to answer the fundamental inquiry. In the event that you get to be mindful of this you’ll comprehend why Google (and other internet searchers), utilize a complex algorithm to figure out what results they ought to return. Nobody algorithm meets expectations any more. Here is the question what is search engine algorithm. That system kicked the bucket as pursuit has advanced. While MSN and Yahoo! stay comparative in their SEO systems, or somewhere in the vicinity it appears from results, they are not indistinguishable. Concentrating on both of these won’t essentially get you beat position in Google. Google has transformed its algorithm various times, while SEOs battle to stay side by side of the progressions concentrating on Google won’t give you the same sorts of results it once did in MSN and Yahoo! As pursuit has gotten to be more beneficial it has additionally ended up more hard pinpointing what exact SEO lives up to expectations for whom.

Why You Need Mobile Friendly Update – 

Regarding the matter of search on mobile devices, clients ought to get the most significant and opportune results, regardless of if the data lives on versatile well disposed web pages or applications. As more individual’s utilization cell phones to get to the web, algorithms need to adjust to these use designs. Before, we’ve made overhauls to guarantee a site is designed legitimately and visible on present day gadgets. Google made it less demanding for clients to discover portable amicable website pages and we’ve acquainted App Indexing with surface helpful substance from applications.

What is MobilegeddonThe Google change which is Google mobile-friendly update, which will take about a week to finish, is significant to the point that the date it really happens is being alluded to by an assortment of names. Here at Search Engine Land, we’re calling it mobilegeddon Google, yet some of the time its additionally alluded to as mobilepocalyse, mopocalypse or mobocalypse.

Why Mobilegeddon Google is Used as Friendly  – 

One of the most ideal approaches to get ready is to test that Google considers your website pages to be versatile inviting by utilizing its Google mobile-friendly update. This Mobilegeddon Google overhaul will most likely not affect desktop seek specifically. In any case, Google is known to utilize active visitor clicking percentage (CTR) from the query items as a positioning element, which I’m speculating would be affected by this change. Likewise: if 50% of quests happen on portable, its a significant revelation strategy. Individuals can just impart URLs amongst them, connection to those destinations and so on., when they’ve discovered your site. These binds back to rankings, so this will affect desktop look vigorously over the long haul.

How To Generate Leads For Any Business?

Obviously, social media is one of the finest tools to generate online leads. According to Mick Hollison, the CMO at InsideSales.com, a provider of cloud-based sales automation and predictive analytics for inside sales professionals, “there is a lot of buzz surrounding social media.”An extensive research on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest suggests these SNS are not very effective at generating quality sales leads. He says, executive events, webinars, search marketing and telemarketing prove more useful but are underutilized. Actually, they must be used more to generate leads for my business. Trade shows and webinars work perfectly for specific enterprises. As a matter of fact, a large number of businesses are hugely dependent on LinkedIn and Facebook. Surveys and researches also confirm that one method does not fit all when it comes to online lead generation.

Anyway, you do not need to worry about the most important question, how to generate leads online? On the basis of several tests and strategies, leading market experts found some effective ways to fetch the expected results. The list includes:

How to generate leads

 

1. Customer referrals – These are an organization’s best friend. “There is nothing better than getting a sales lead from a happy customer,” says JR Rodrigues, CEO, NetCablesPlus.

2. SEO, SEM and PPC – “The best way (in terms of lowest cost per acquisition) for an IT company or a service-based B2B company to generate leads is through pay per click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO),” says Gabriel Shaoolian, the CEO and founder of digital agency Blue Fountain Media.

3. Cross-promotions and co-marketing – Consider forming “alliances with complementary, noncompetitive vendors to exchange leads, promote each others’ products and services, or any number of other mutually beneficial activities,” suggests Rodrigues.

4. Providing contact details on every website page – “With search engines being such an important driver of inbound website traffic, you can’t always predict where people are going to enter your website,” notes Jonathan Bentz, marketing manager, Netrepid, a provider of professional services. “Having your contact info on every page of your website increases the likelihood that people will contact you.”

5. Live chat – “We added a live chat box to the website and generated a request for quote the very first night!” says Bentz. “I can’t stress how important that was for a proof of concept, especially since most IT pros are looking for fast answers without possibly getting stuck on the phone with a pushy sales person.”

It is important for every businessman to keep in mind that marketing strategies keep taking new shape with the course of time. So, it is advised to use them as soon as possible in order to enjoy the expected results. Without doing so, you might remain behind in race in comparison with counterparts.
