You Can Now Filter Bots & Spiders in Google Analytics



While there have been complicated workarounds for discounting bots in Google Analytics, Google has never offered a way for users to automatically filter various bots.  However, with more bots executing javascript, which executes the Google Analytics script on the page, it is definitely causing some users’ data to become skewed, particularly if they get hit hard by a bot gone berserk.
Fortunately for advertisers, Google is finally giving us the option.  Google Analytics has announced a new way to filter bot traffic automatically with a new setting in the management user interface.
The new option will automatically remove the “known bots” from reporting in Google Analytics.  This is still turned off by default, so users will need to turn the option on in order to utilize it.  However, there are reports that it doesn’t work retroactively.
It can be applied on a site by site basis, so you can enable filtering of bots on some sites, while leaving bots included in reporting on other sites.
When viewing the site you wish to filter bots on, click the “Admin” link at the top of the page and in the View column, select “View Settings”.

The option is now available for all Google Analytics users.

How to panda – proof your website?

What Is Google Panda?
Google panda is an algorythmic filter that lets Google’s search results find high quality websites. Google uses this update to give users better search results based on content and punishes web sites that use unfair ways to rank their web site.
Content is king?
Use quality, non-repetitive content that your users may actually be looking for. The whole point of Google panda is to find quality sites, so if your website contains quality, your website won’t be hindered.
Try: – Building brand-name anchor text
–          Use content based linking
–          Use on-site linkbait to draw entra links
Avoid repetition?
One of the main problem with most websites that get punished by Google panda is that they are filled with lots of excessive advertising and they are too cluttered with the same keywords.
Try: – Adding column to the tables for relevant factors.
–          Determining if your page is over-optimized
–          Diversify and use synonyms, even if they are exact
User experience:
At the end of the day, you are trying to get users/consumers on to your website and you want them to stay on your website. Creating a good user experience, encourage revisits and shares!
Try: – Use Images, video and links that appeal to users
–          Make your content language more accessible
–          Integrate social media and a blog into your websites
Been mauled by Google Panda?
Here are some techniques that might work for you
  1. Link Baiting:
Link baiting is any content or feature designed specially to encourage others to link to your website. For example, a company creates a series of humorous videos for the sake of getting the users to spark organic interest from the viewers of the videos.
  1. Sponsoring:
Sponsoring organizations like charities, conferences and running contests are a great way to link build and diversify your link portfolios. Hosting an event will allow you to use press release and media outlets to create quality backlinks to your websites.

Google’s Relationship With Affiliates


Love:
–          Affiliate marketers were some of Google’s earliest advertisers. By matching commercial offers with keywords and attracting merchants to search marketing, affiliates helped build AdWords as the largest online advertising portal in the world.
–          Google utilize the affiliate marketing model via comparison ads in the finance vertical. Google has also suggested they might move to a price-per-booking model with hotels.
–          Google invested in viglink, an affiliate program that pays sites owners for generating targeted traffic to merchant sites.
–          Google invested in Whaleshark media, the self-proclaimed “world’s leading marketplace for coupons and deals”.
–          Google bought out BeatThatQuote.com, a UK financial comparison site.
–          For large merchants like Amazon, Google runs product search affiliate ads.
–          Google is testing the insertion of pre-filled lead generation forms directly into the search results.
–          Google’s Adsense program is the largest affiliate network, paying publishers to syndicate Adsence ads across the web. In addition, Google runs another Affiliate network named “Google Affiliate Network”.
–          The Google remove rater document that was leaked earlier this year highlights the following website classification as being legitimate for affiliate sites:
  1. Price comparison
  2. Coupons
  3. Original in-depth editorial reviews
Hate  
–          In Q4 of 2009 Google banned 30,000+ Affiliate Adwords accounts without any warning or justification.
–          Ex post factor: Some affiliates are not able to restore their Adwords account without improving “landing page quality” on 3rd party sites the affiliates never controlled, for ads they ran year ago, before Google’s policies changed.
These affiliate advertiser have, in effect, a lifetime ban because they don’t have control over the web properties.
–          Linking through to certain products on certain affiliate networks can lead to an Adworks account being automatically banned.
Google does not disclose which networks are problematic, thus leaving affiliates guessing as to which products they can and cannot promote.
–          Affilaite = Unnecessary
Affiliate Summit in 2010, Google’s Frederick valleys stated that affiliates were largely “just an unnecessary step in the sales funnel”. He went on to say that Google prefers affiliates link directly to merchant websites.
–          Google has taken several efforts to remove affiliate marketers from the organic search results:
  1. Google strengthened duplicate content filters to eliminate feed-driven affiliate sites.
  2. Google banned many affiliates running of sites, calling them “doorway pages”
  3. In some cases, Google later inserted their own vertical search listings in these same search results, thus removing affiliates from the search results so google could generate more revenue.
–          Google’s remove rater documents explicitly instruct rater into designating affiliate sites in the travel niche as spam, even if they’d otherwise get a high rating for usefulness and quality.
–          Google’s reconsideration request form states, “In general, sites that directly profit from traffic (e.g. search engine optimization, Affiliate programs, etc.) may need to provide more evidence of good faith before a site will be reconsidered.”
–          Eric Schmidt frequently highlights the power of the web’s ability to allow you to merge without merging.
However, when an author linked to his own book’s page on Amazon via an affiliate link, his Adwords account was disabled. Google also sells ebooks and offers their own affiliate program!

How To Make Money Blogging – 5 Step Blog Profit Plan


Blogging is one of the easiest ways to make money online. Unfortunately, I see to many people focused on SEO and ranks and not enough on what pays the bills – sharing!
Focus on SEO – $0
Ranking are great, don’t get me wrong. But too much focus on SEO and you lose sight of what your blogs all about- sharing great info!
Focus on Sharing – $Unlimited
Bloggers who share opinions, insights, and resources are the ones who make bank. Get the basic SEO up and then concentrate on sharing.
Step 1: Pick a profitable niche
A profitable niche has four qualities. It has people who are willing to spend money on themselves or their loves ones. It has consumers that want to better their lives for some reason. It has info products for sale books or digital courses. It has tangible item or tools they can buy.
Step 2: Find out what they need
Profitable bloggers go out and research what their niche needs. They never assume. They read comments on amazon reviews. They peek in on forum and other blogs. They read trade magazines to see what’s at the forefront of the niche. And when they start building a community, they listen to those who contact them. (That’s why this infographic was created, by the way).
Step 3: Sell it to them
One of the most profitable ways you can make money on your blog is to be an info product creator. If someone asks how to keep their golf ball from starting off to the left and then veering right, you put out a guide on how to stop slicing. Research it, outline, share the information for fee. Authors of books (digital or physical) are “experts” in the eyes of most people.
Step 4: Tell them where to buy it
There are many other info products that you can promote as an affiliate, buy them. Implement them on your blog. That builds trust and loyalty. Also promote tangible item on Amazon.com or other sites where you can earn commission when they buy through your link. Always be protective over your people – never lie.
Step 5: Spread the word and get paid
Tweet your blog posts, put them on Google+, put them Pinterest, share them on Facebook and have a plugin that allows others to do the same. When you start sharing and people start trusting you, you’ll get conversions – and payment through pay pal instantly, Clickbank every 2 weeks and Amazon monthly.

The use of headings and subheadings in the text on your web page is not only pleasant for visitors, but also for the search engine.
Visitors scan the text simple if you use headers like (H1, H2 and H3) and the search engine assumes that those which contain headlines and subheadings are important information on the subject.
The headings and subheadings should be provided with the heading tags, otherwise a search engine like Google will not recognize. The most common heading tags are:

Heading 1

Heading 2

HEADING 3

Use the main keyword in the subheadings, because there is more value to be granted. In many open source CMS systems like WordPress, this feature is standard.
Besides the use of titles and headers, it is also wise to make use of bold textand other features that make the text more readable. A well-formatted text is very important. For both the visitors and the search engines

Search engine friendly urls

Start a blog post with a picture

If you have a blog post begins with an image then it is likely that a user will read the content. Moreover, it is also positive in the field of SEO.

Enrich your content with various media

If you enrich the content of your website with various media as video, audio, pdf or infographics then it has a positive impact on both visitors and SEO.

The search engine will then get a better idea of the content and the media used to connect to the topic of your page.

In addition, you will benefit the advantage that visitors stay on your site longer. Do not post irrelevant media, though.

Keyword Density

It has become less important to stick to a strict keyword density, but it is still important. It is more and more about the content and the legibility than to focus on repetition of the keyword.
A text that is stuffed with keywords will be ignored by the search engine not rated or by the visitors.
For example, use synonyms of the keyword and place the these in strategic places in your text, such as the front of the article, in the middle and at the end.

Write content for your visitors


Write content primarily for visitors, because your audience is people, not search engine bots.

Interesting content is automatically rewarded with an external link is created by a visitor for example, or that the information is shared on social media.
That is also valued by Google. Place the most important keyword in the beginning of the text.

Internal linking and optimization

Internal links within your website is an ideal way to use the power and authority of your website to disseminate information about your web pages. You can optimize internal links through a good anchor text to select the important keyword and title to assign.

Use the internal links to get more value for the keyword you want to be found.
Another advantage of internal linking is that your website gets as coherence and visitors can immerse themselves in your website.

External links

External links are especially valuable for search engine optimization as there is good quality backlinks.That includes links to relevant websites, as well as links to websites that have a good reputation.
Also guest blogging can contribute to creating more external links.
Focus rather on creating good and valuable information , and you will find that backlinks come naturally.

Encourage social media

Social media is important to the search engine optimization and it is therefore important to be in active social networks .
You can encourage social media, by including buttons to target there. Example: “Like” Button, “Tweet” Button etc
The information can then be shared directly with your visitors on Facebook, Twitter and Google +. The links shared on social media have an impact on the ranking of your website or a particular web page. Be active on social media by regularly posting messages and responding.

Long tail keyword strategy

You can use the long tail strategy to get higher in the search engine.
This can not only score higher in the search engine, but also increases the chance of your site being visited. In addition, the visitor can find what he sought probably on your website
When content strategy is focused on longer keywords, your rank quickly rise on Google because there is less competition.
In addition, the conversion of such articles is often higher because it often involves specific questions or problems.

Create and optimize the main categories

It is important to use the main categories because the visible structure of your website should be simple for the search engine.
Obviously, making a distinction between categories is also user friendly for your visitors.The visitors can quickly find what they are looking for.
A main category can obviously have several subcategories, which should be also well optimized.

Update regularly

Regularly update your site with new content, media and news sites that attracts the attention of the search engines.
New articles on your website is likely to be indexed quickly because you have already got visitors often.
If you regularly update your website, it will be also interesting for your visitors to come back if they know that there are some regular news can be found on your website again.

Optimize Videos on Your Site

Since the search engine can not see the content of your video, it is important to optimize video file. You do that by adding metadata, such as to give a title., keyword and description.
Give the file a clear description of the contents of your video with you and place multiple videos on separate web pages.

Do not spam, keep it real!

Spamming will not help you in the long run to reach a high position in the search engine. Therefore, focus on paying particular attention to the occurrence of natural links through to social media, posting interesting content and write, active guest blogging.
Also avoid excessive keyword density, spam comments and bad links.

Google Plus (+1)

It is certainly advisable to use Google plus because Google has rivalry on Facebook.
Chances are that Google+ in the future will have more direct impact on the rankings of websites in Google.
That is quite plausible because Google plus is from Google search engine itself and sets its own product obviously paramount.
Moreover, it is a social network that offers multiple opportunities to come in direct contact with your customers.

Ask what they want to know

You can often ask questions to find out what the visitors need and you can do that in several ways.
A very simple example is to create a list using the Q & A either provide a list of frequently asked questions and answers.
There you come beforehand to meet the demand. Other possibilities are responding to posts or emails.

Use Sitemaps

Search engines often look for Sitemaps, which is a table of contents is used from the website. There are also Sitemaps which are visible and clickable for the visitor, but that is, in fact, regular Web pages in the form of an HTML sitemap.
An XML sitemap is designed specifically for the search engines, however, that the different pages can index in a simple way
Sitemaps improve the visibility of your website. You can sign in search engines via the sitemap.xml itself with a Google webmaster tool and a BING webmaster tool.

Sitemap Explained
