SEO Rows on the Constantly Flowing Content Rivers



Stagnancy is death in the world of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This is one battle field where you just cannot rest on your past laurels. A few days of inaction in a website are enough to kick it out of the Search Engine Result Pages. Due to the updated Search Engine Crawlers and Spiders and the huge volumes of SEO Content fed to them every day, it is very easy for them to forget the taste of the links to your website. The higher the days of inactive content, higher are the chances that your website is pushed into the dark alleys of the web world, out of reach of all Search Engine Bots.

A constant flow of content is an absolute must for any website. It is the energy which is required by a website in its race for the top spots in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). The type of content required for SEO depends on the ways in which the Search Engines’ technologies search and rank. A competitive SEO Agency knows such processes inside out and effectively optimizes the visual and written content of website. SEO Content is also posted in other websites allowing blogs and articles posting and with back links to the website of the business. Even without the back links, SEO Experts build up the Online Reputation of the brand through such postings.

Creation of regular and unique content is a challenge that has to be faced by all SEO Agencies in the present competitive times. The regularity of the content varies on the popularity of the relevant keywords. Some keywords can be optimized with weekly postings while others require a daily dosage. The accurate calculation of the regularity with which the postings are to be done with respect to the keywords is an important attribute of a successful SEO Agency. A close watch on the behavior of the popular Search Engines is the first step required for such a calculation.

Smartphones Play a Major Role in Digital Marketing India



Digital Marketing in India has been influenced to a great extent by the unprecedented rise in the sales of smartphones. The figures reached a staggering 12.8 million, at a growth rate of 229% year-on-year, in the third quarter of 2013. The Digital Marketing Agencies in India duly stood up and made the necessary changes in their strategies. The results also put an end to the long standing debate on importance of Mobile Digital Marketing. Those who had opined that the growing importance of mobile phones, in the realms where Digital Marketing Techniques are formulated, was just a fluke and would not sustain, have been left eating their words.

The ways in which smartphones affect Digital Marketing are many in number. To begin with, the users have shifted to their smartphones for all sorts of communications including emails and sharing of files. The latest smartphones can effectively carry out practically all the functions of a desktop. Thus, the users prefer to carry them out from the conveniences of a smartphone. From the point of view of advertising, leaving the mobile users out of targeting is to completely leave out a major chunk of the consumers. The hopes of targeting a mobile user when he uses his desktop have been shattered as that may never happen. The smartphones, being faithful companions, also provides a huge opportunity of targeting the user at any time and at any place. Some of the latest ways in which Mobile Digital Advertising Agencies target smartphone users include campaigns embedded in games, applications, and value added services. Embedding Digital Advertisements in the applications is hugely gaining grounds as it is a non-interruptive way posting high impact campaigns.  

Thus, to begin with, the most important thing for any business to do (if not done already) is to make its website mobile compatible. Though it is true that that most smartphones are now capable of loading even the full websites, strategizing in these lines would not be an inclusive policy. At a time when competition on the Digital Advertising turf is no less than a full-fledged war, sidelining even one segment of potential consumers can translate into huge losses for businesses. Once the website (especially the landing pages) has been optimized for smartphones, the next step would be to hire an able Digital Advertising Agency with the ability to pay special attention to the requirements of Mobile Advertising.

Steps for Small Businesses to Reap the Benefits of Online Advertising



Online Advertising being absolutely necessary for small businesses is not a new theory. There have been plenty of deliberations on how an online presence is a must for small advertisers. However, it has been observed that even though small businesses do invest in Online Advertising Campaigns, they are also quick to pull out. So, what goes wrong? Is the necessity of Online Advertising for small businesses over hyped or aren’t the campaigns implemented properly. Most of the small businesses that pulled out of or stopped investing in Online Advertising Campaigns mentioned that the results were not visible. Even when the brands did come up in the searches, it did not convert into an increase in sales. In this write up, we put down the sequence of steps in which small businesses should be Advertised Online so that the online visibility converts into sales and the results can be seen.

Work on Creating Awareness with Visibility

Experts of the PPC (Per per Click), in the enthusiasm of promoting their services, have been eloquent about the advantages of PPC over the other models of Online Advertising Services. Thus, small businesses often start with PPC. The problem occurs when competitors with a higher brand value appear along with them in the searches and simply outweigh them in impact. Suppose a user searches for shoes and the search engine throws results containing both bigger brands and smaller businesses. There is a higher likelihood that the user will click on the brand he has seen before. Thus, it is a good idea to invest in Online Banner Advertising first and then go for PPC. Promoting the website of your small business through SEO Services and SMO Services also helps establish the brand name of the small business.

Advertise Locally

Small Businesses derive their maximum sales locally. It is thus very important to target the Online Ads at the local users. It is also important to get your small business listed in Google Maps as there has been a significant increase in users searching for restaurants, shops, etc. via the internet. Local Online Ads effectively guide the nearest consumers to your business.

Widen Your Target Area

Once the brand name has been established and local consumers established, it is time to widen the target area. This can be done with Email Marketing and PPC. PPC provides a lengthier presence on the internet and is also more cost effective.

Using the various forms of Online Advertising in their correct sequence is vital for a small business to reap the benefits of Online Marketing. Top Online Advertising Agencies in India like Tdi-Mad Advertising provide strategic support and solutions for the specific needs of Small Business Online Advertising.
