Search Engine Optimisation Service Given A Boost With Social Media Extension 

Online media agency Top Position's search engine optimisation service has been given a boost this week with the extension of its social media programme. A slew of new book marking, blog and networking sites has been added to the social networking activity carried out by the SEO firm on behalf of its client base.

"It's vital for any company serious about their search marketing to maintain a comprehensive social media presence," said department head, Rebecca Appleton. "As a forum for personalising a brand and engaging with the client base, social networking applications are second to none. However, to get the most from them they should be used as part of a wider strategy and not regarded simply as a link building opportunity.

"After months of research we have drafted these social sites in to our search marketing offering in order to foster worthwhile online communities for the brands we represent. Each of these spaces has been hand picked with a view to adding real value to our client's online activities."

According to a study by HitWise UK, a significant portion of traffic delivered to UK retail sites in 2007 originated from the top 20 social networks. Harnessing the power of this traffic is at the forefront of the Top Position service. In addition to the new social media services added, a core of social media experts manage a series of initiatives for clients including maintaining a blogging presence and creative for viral campaigns.

Daniel Jupp, director of Top Position said, "The ability to leverage social media as part of an ethical search engine optimisation campaign is a skill increasingly demanded by our clients. We've found that businesses are anxious to eke out every possible sales and brand exposure opportunity from their online activities. Developing and leveraging this niche outlet has become a real priority for our SEO team and one that has seen us introduce a dedicated social media team to consistently introduce new outlets and opportunities for clients."

SEO: Is Content Still King? 

It's long been acknowledged that in the land of search engine optimisation, content is king. Google and the other search engines look for around 200 algorithms when indexing a site for relevance, with content being high up on the list. From a search engine optimisation point of view, the amount of content that a website has is key to deeming it relevant. The content must be distributed evenly and logically throughout the site, it must be relevant to the subject matter of the site and to the keywords as listed in the meta tags, and these keywords should be utilised well in the content.

Content that works for SEO should be rich in keywords, but keyword density is a balancing act. Too low a keyword density and the content you have on the site may not be picked up by the search engines as relevant; too high a keyword density and you could be seen to be spamming, which will of course render your SEO efforts redundant.

While it seems that for now the adage 'content is king' still rings true, static content is only of limited use when thinking about search engine optimisation. Regularly refreshed content will lead to your site being deemed an 'authority' site by the search engines, which will help you move up those all-important rankings. Along with a deep site with effective internal linking, search engines love refreshed content when indexing.

There are many ways you can keep your site's content fresh and new and ready to be regularly indexed. Blogs, social media inserts and RSS are all great ways to add new regular content to your site. You can also add a news section or a press room to your site and add regularly refreshed content to these sections.

Perhaps it's time to revise that adage: 'Refreshed Content is King'! Find out more at www.TopPosition.co.uk

Top Position Search Engine Optimisation Service Is One Year Old 

Top Position's groundbreaking search engine optimisation service reaches a milestone this month as it celebrates its one year anniversary. Launched on the back of a six-year tenure as one of the UK's most successful pay per click agencies, Top Position's SEO activities compliment its paid search service, delivering a fully integrated turnkey solution for businesses across Europe and the United States.

The first of its kind to offer social media activity as an integral part of the standard search engine optimisation process, Top Position's SEO with digital marketing offering has won legions of fans and column inches. Featured in industry magazines and lauded for its fluid take on the optimisation process, the service combines a traditional approach with fresh new thinking.

Daniel Jupp, director of Top Position said, "Top Position is incredibly proud of the ethical, results-focused service delivered by our search engine optimisation team. Despite officially launching just twelve months ago, years of research and testing have helped develop a service that is entirely transparent and client focused. Our results speak for themselves - hundreds of keywords on page one of the major search engines, optimal content produced by award winning journalists and invitations to give keynote speeches at exhibitions and events around Europe."

Made up of several core modules, the search engine optimisation process developed by the Google-certified pay per click agency is continually adapted and developed. Along with the usual link building service, on-page optimisation is approached from a reader perspective with emphasis placed on the site's user experience. New content is produced by a team of qualified journalists, providing professional web site copy within the same monthly fee as other SEO activity. By combining this use of the media with known SEO techniques, link building, social networking and even off-line PR coverage form an integral part of the measurable results.

Rebecca Appleton, Top Position operations director said, "In just twelve months, Top Position's SEO service has landed huge client wins and more than exceeded performance expectations. Having recently expanded the department with a number of new hires and several new clients, we're all eager to surpass these achievements in the course of this year."

Free Pay Per Click Account Management %u2013 Limited Period 

European Pay per click and search engine optimisation consultancy Top Position is offering free pay per click management to Yahoo! advertisers. With the California search engine in the news following strong first quarter financial results and a rejected buyout bid from Microsoft, advertisers looking to get more from their pay per click advertising budget are finding strong returns and increased traffic on Yahoo!

Although Yahoo! has traditionally seen lower traffic flows, recent events have sent web users streaming onto the search engine. The result is more searches and a bigger audience for pay per click advertisers.

Elaine Loughlin, head of the Yahoo! pay per click management department at Top Position said, "In recent months clients who previously reported revenue of around 20% from Yahoo! have seen their return more than double without any increase in advertising budget or advertising spend. In some industries, Yahoo! pay per click performance is now level with or even exceeding the return from Google. This is very positive news for PPC advertisers as the cost per click is still lower."

Recognising the boost to advertisers, pay per click consultancy Top Position has launched a limited edition offer of free pay per click management on the Yahoo! platform. Designed to encourage advertisers to try the search engine as part of their overall online advertising strategy, the free management offer is available to any advertiser with a budget of £400 or more to spend on Yahoo!

Daniel Jupp, Top Position director said, "Even if a Yahoo! pay per click account has previously failed to set the world alight, our dedicated Yahoo! management department can offer a bespoke account management service. By implementing tweaks such as increased keyword spread, better monitoring traffic flows and implementing targeted advert text, we can help advertisers to see a much improved rate of return. With no contract and no commitment, we want advertisers to try a Yahoo! pay per click account and be surprised at the difference."

A Yahoo! platinum agency, Top Position manages hundreds of Yahoo! pay per click accounts and has a dedicated team in place specialising in the search engine's Panama platform. Find out more at www.TopPosition.co.uk

The CAC conference is one of the most respected conferences in the marketing for gaming arena and one that Top Position is delighted to be a part of."

As the first UK agency to leverage social media activity as part of its standard search engine optimisation package, Top Position is ideally placed to discuss convergence between the two. Launched just over a year go, the award winning agency's SEO department has rapidly risen to prominence with a series of groundbreaking search marketing initiatives.

Top Position Search Engine Optimisation Clients Hit The Silver Screen 

A Top Position Search Engine Optimisation client has seen his profile raise dramatically after an online press release produced by his dedicated Top Position SEO account manager was picked up by Sky News.

Investigator Barry Schoefield is a former police officer and runs a successful private detective agency. In one of the first pieces produced for Barry, Top Position account manger Billy Howe penned an article examining why people go missing.

With expert input from Barry, the feature was keyword rich for search engine optimisation purposes and drew upon Barry's experiences tracking down lost and missing persons. Placed on social media sites including Blogger.com, Squidoo.com and others, as well as distributed to leading UK national media and industry specific titles, the article led Sky News to seek Barry's expertise when a national story broke concerning a person found after disappearing years earlier.

Within hours, Barry was spirited away to Sky's television studios in the heart of London to give his take on the circumstances surrounding the news story. Explaining the ramifications of the person's disappearance and subsequent reappearance, Barry was able to give the story a real, human take.

5 Pay Per Click Rules To Live By 

Rule 1: Campaign Maintenance

pay per click campaigns need lots of tender loving care. Use them or lose them. It does takes discipline and planning to keep a campaign relevant, but revising keywords and writing eye-catching new adverts at regular intervals are good habits to get into.

Rule 2: Organisation is Key

Keeping a campaign organised means it runs more efficiently so you'll need to be on the ball and group relevant keywords into their own ad groups. Don't have hordes of general terms in one group, be ruthless and split them into smaller offerings. By doing this, adverts will be more relevant to the user, earning easy brownie points from the search engines. A higher quality score equals a lower cost per click.

Rule 3: Creative Copyrighting

If you Google your competitors, you're sure to come across a slew of almost identical adverts. Stepping away from the crowd takes imagination but can bear rich rewards. Don't stick with tried and tested formulas to woo your client base, be imaginative with language and your pay per click adverts will immediately become more eye-catching.

Rule 4: Get Mobile

Did you know that as of April 2006 there are an estimated 66 million mobile users in Great Britain (Yankee Group, Dec 2005)? Connecting users to your business with a Google AdWords pay per click mobile ad is a matter of minutes.

Rule 5: Take 1

pay per click has developed enormously in the last twelve months and mobile advertising is just one of the new faces of the pay per click phenomenon. Google has trail-blazed a path to technical superiority with the advent of pay per view video advertising. Of course, you need to create a video advert before you can introduce it to your search marketing campaign but this can be as simple or as complicated as you desire.

It's Official - Pay Per Click Powers Offline Conversions 

Pay per click advertising powers offline conversions in 39% of purchases according to new research released today.

While it is relatively simple to track online conversions from pay per click advertising on search engines such as Google and Yahoo thanks to an abundance of PPC conversion tracking software in the marketplace, the value of pay per click advertising on the offline marketing mix has remained something of a mystery until now.

The research firm found that 39% of searchers were influenced in their offline activities by search and online channels. Such a high conversion rate suggests that rather than considering pay per click as an add-on, marketers must now look at PPC advertising as an intrinsic part of the marketing mix.

Creating Killer PPC Adverts 

How to plan and write effective ppc adverts

If your pay per click advert was a lonely hearts listing, what would it say about your business? Would it mention your great sense of humour, your snappy dress sense and caring nature? Or would it describe you as someone who plays it safe, is a leader not a follower and blends with the crowd at all costs? As in dating, first impressions count with pay per click.

A killer pay per click advert stands out from the crowd and drives the right kind of traffic to the web site. It describes the product or service being offered but leaves the reader wanting more information. It isn't a hard sell but it does make the casual surfer sit up and take notice.

The success of your pay per click advert depends on your choice of keywords and where they are positioned within the ad text. Omitting important terms from the advert wording is a common mistake. This has greater implications than a less than memorable advert- if Google AdWords is your platform of choice, it also means you're missing out on vital quality score points.

Based on your campaign infrastructure and relevance of related groupings, the AdWords quality score demonstrates your campaign's ability to give search users exactly what they've gone online to find. In pay per click terms, this means ensuring the keywords used to trigger the adverts are strategically placed within the advert itself. Not only does this earn Google brownie points, it can lead to a lower cost per click and better positioning. More importantly, it stands out to the search user, demonstrating the advertiser's ability to provide what the surfer is looking to acquire. More Pay Per Click articles and stuff here!

Improve Your Quality Score

Pay per click advertising is a lot like speed dating. You only get a few seconds to show off your best features before the other party moves on to a more attractive prospect. Worse still, being last in line means the best ones are usually already taken. If your PPC advert isn't coming out top in Google search results, a poor quality score is often to blame. Fortunately, it's a lot easier to improve your ad performance than it is to win back the hot blonde now sat at table two. As in dating, size is everything.

1. Make Your Adverts Relevant
Badly written advert text is a common cause of a low quality score. Omitting important keywords from the advert wording means you're missing out on easy brownie points. Be as specific as possible. If you sell leather sofas and leather sofa is one of your keywords, use the same phrasing in your advert text. Making your advert relevant to your keywords will raise your quality score, giving you a better position within the search platform.

How Do You Choose Your PPC Platform? 

Google, Yahoo or MSN...

First things first. If you want a successful pay per click campaign, you first need to decide if your PPC will be best served on Google, Yahoo or MSN.

Much like the search engines themselves, each PPC platform has its own ups and downs. Choosing the right one for your pay per click is a critical business decision.

MSN is the PPC newcomer despite more than a decade of dominance in the IT industry. Traffic levels are lower but the cost per click reflects this. Conversions are MSN's pay per click strong point but the dashboard can be tricky to work your way around. However, it's multiple targeting and advanced demographic targeting features make it well worth a look. Interested? Find out more here: http://www.topposition.co.uk/go/msn_services.html

Yahoo is next up in search engine traffic volume. Google may remain the global search engine of choice but advertisers on Yahoo's newly branded Search Marketing (formerly known as Overture) programme enjoy a wider range of affiliate exposure. Yahoo uses this networking to generate around 5.7 million targeted leads every month for its advertisers.

The amount your business is prepared to pay for each keyword entered in the campaign dictates where the pay per click advert is positioned relative to competitor's submissions. Yahoo has the upper hand here, offering a transparent bidding system. Clients log on and enter a keyword to see how much current advertisers pay for the same term. Effectively you can then buy the listing position you want depending on how much you are prepared to pay per click relative to other users. Tempted? http://www.topposition.co.uk/go/yahoo_services.html

Ah, finally we get to Google! Google's submission procedure offers one considerable advantage; speed of use. Advert submission is instant, putting a new or revised pay per click advert online immediately providing simple guidelines governing advert length and editorial codes are adhered to.

Little if any forward planning is required on the part of the advertiser to introduce new campaigns and special offers at the touch of the button. Similarly, pausing discontinued products or oversubscribed services is also the work of moments, giving pay per click advertisers the highest level of control over their internet presence.

Google's bidding system is not transparent meaning you can spend a lot of time trying to get the perfect position at a realistic prize. More Handy Hints Here!

No Money For PPC? 

Budget Breakers...

Lots of businesses think that they can't get have a good PPC advert without a huge budget. Not true! As long as you show lots of self restraint, i.e. not cramming as many keywords as possible into the campaign, and choose your PPC matching options carefully, even as little as $5 a day can lead to great leads through AdWords or Yahoo.

Of course, in order to keep costs down you'll also need to think about things such as day parting (PPC time targeting, geo graphical targeting and language targeting...Top Tips For Choosing Keywords On A Budget

And if you have a really, really small budget, try the costing predictor on Yahoo and MSN as cost per click is significantly lower than on Google and conversions are often better.

Top Position Explains Conversion Optimizer Tool 

Pay per click advertisers using Google AdWords for their search marketing can now add a new tool to Google's suite of conversion tracking gadgets - the Conversion Optimizer.

Based on desired ROI, the Conversion Optimizer allows pay per click advertisers to set a maximum cost per acquisition bid and then automatically determines optimal cost per click bids for each keyword.
