Google Analytics – Keyword Positions

May 1st, 2009

One of the biggest questions advertisers have when manage their pay per click account is how much they should bid for their keywords. Bidding too high may incur too much cost and advertisers might not be able to sustain a profitable ROI, whether bidding too low might not allow their ads to be positioned at a visible spot.

There is a function in Google Analytics that allows advertisers to see at which positions their keywords receive the most visits, transactions, revenue, conversion rate, and etc.

Simply login into Google Analytics, select a report which has the proper filters applied. Then click on Traffic Sources. Within the expended pull down menu, select Adwords then click on Keyword Positions.

Now just type in the keyword that you want to analyze into the “Find keywords” box to see the stats on that keyword. Click on the keyword once, then you can start seeing the position break down on the right.

This handy little tool might not be practical for huge companies that have tens and thousands of keywords, since manually analyzing each single one of them would just be overly time consuming. But for small businesses that have a few core keywords which make up the majority of their conversions, this is a great way to get some general ideas on how much they should bid to maximize their investments.

One thing to be careful though, is not to solely rely on the number of transactions to make decisions; instead you should also take the conversion rate, and number of visits into account.

For example: let’s assume for the time period you are analyzing, your keyword have spent 90% of the time at position one and only 10% of the time at position three, so most likely there would be more transactions happening at position one than at position three.

But at the same time, the keyword might only be getting a 0.3% conversion rate at position one whereas at position three, it might be getting a 3.2% conversion rate. Assuming there isn’t a big different on the number of visits between the two positions, it actually makes more sense to lower your bid and have the keyword on position three for most of the time.

As with any other analysis process, make sure you have a sufficient data collection before making any judgments.

Keywords in Domain Names – Are They Helpful in Branding or SEO?

April 11th, 2009

To choose a domain may sound like an easy task but it can have a crucial influence on your website rankings and branding perception. In today’s internet market when everybody is internet savvy, the importance of keywords usage in the domain name can give your website the needed advantage over your competition. Nowadays, Internet is used for almost all kind of research, from products researching to getting health advice. Thereby entrepreneurs are becoming more conscious of bridging the gap between their targeted clientele.

Search engine algorithms are quite sensitive to what they can “read” about your website, and the domain name is one of those readable things. One of the first factors search engine will get to know about your web site is the website name itself, or technically speaking, the domain name (www.mydomain.com). On the other hand, the first thing people will look at when they land on your web site is the company logo. So, if you are selling used cars in Kentucky, one of the best domain names you can choose, for both search engines and your visitors will be www.usedcarskentucky.com .

It is advisable to display a text logo on the upper left side of the page, which reads “used cars kentucky.com” accompanied by a small icon. This way, your most important keyword will be present on each and any of your site pages. Search engines will get the text they need, visitors will notice your business name (some basic branding). You can reinforce your keywords by repeating them in a nice tag line like: “selling used cars in Kentucky since 1966”.

You could get a domain name registered that matches your business needs so that you can tap in the desired clientele. Browsing through the web to find an affordable option of domain can be a good start. It is a good idea to register some variations of your domain name like www.usedcarkentucky.com or register the domain names with dashes used to separate words: www.used-cars-kentucky.com. Try to register the .net, .org and .biz version also. Once you secure the important domain names do a permanent (301) redirect to the main website.

It is not essential to choose a generic name for your website, because the web might be crowded with such domains. On the other hand, usage of certain brand or popular products in the domain name or page could also be an ideal approach. This does not necessarily means that the domain name has to be too complicated for the customer to remember or associate.

The domain name must be at least 2 characters long and not more than 63 characters maximum in length. The total length is excluding the top-level domain (.com, .net, etc). The characters in domain can include any combination of letters, numbers or hyphens but starting and ending of domain name should not be a hyphen. Importantly, domain names are not case-sensitive. In this manner, it would be short and easily recognizable. Nevertheless, some argue that longer the name of the URL the better chances it has of its rankings in the search engines.For more information about SEO Vancouver, PPC Vancouver visit http://www.pitstopmedia.com

These “H” tags range from H1 to H6 (the short form of Heading 1 – most important, to Heading 6, the least important, and define text in header font and prominence. In established site, tags are used to give the page structure of “what” the the page is about. It suggests both to human visitors and search engines the ontology of the page and how important a page section is based on the section heading type, H1 or H6. By doing this, visitors can understand the pages in better manner and website can boost in search engines result.

There are six levels of heading tags in HTML: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6. The H1 tag heading should contain the most important section of the site and often it is a good idea to match the page title tag (title of the website page). The H2 tag is next important tag which is used for subheading. This tag is lesser important than the H1 tag, but still of high importance for search engines. The H2 tag can support H1 tag by repeating the most important keyword in both H1 and H2. While the H3 tag is for titles of different sections in content, it is not recommend to be used as the title of page. The H4, H5, and H6 tags are used for sub-heading to the content section or the information in the footer.

The H1 tag is the most important of the six “H” tags in SEO strategy. It should be placed at the top of content so that visitors can easily understand what the content of the page is about.. This heading should accurately and briefly describes the content of the web page that follows and it should contain your main important keyword. Do not overuse it, meaning do not use the H1 more than once on the same web page The search engine robots will visits your website pages and analyze their content. While trying to determine the main theme (please read, “keyword”) of a specific web page, The robots will look for important tags such as the H1 and other heading tags that are present to find the content. If there is a semantic relationship between the page title, the H1 and H2 tags and the body text content, chances are that the robots will properly identify the main theme of the page and will give it a boost in search results related to that keyword.

Search engine robots are “crawling” as many web pages as they can find on your website, and for each page they will try to figure out which keywords and key phrases those pages are relevant for. To rank your website higher in search engines, it is helpful to consider place the most important keywords into various levels of header tags.
