Artificial Intelligence is a visual communication by machines. As Google wants AI to make more ads. This made the lives of galore in an easy way. As Adwords users have been getting emails telling them to expect new ads in their groups and if they don’t disable them they will start showing after two weeks.

Random advertisements would not be helpful in gaining revenue if they are not related to what the customer needed. This is what Google has taken advantage of ads using Artificial Intelligence. Thus, Ads can be automatically generated with the help of searches and additional signals. In Google Adwords, users submit display ads in groups that share sets of common parameters such as keywords. This being made more variations of ads in a group for better performance but manually creating an ad variation is not an easy task.

Adwords Ads are going to be created by Artificial Intelligence

Google Adwords is an online advertising service where advertisers pay to display advertisements.This lets the users submit display ads that share sets of common parameters like keywords. To improve ads performance, a combination of human appraisal and machine learning is used to create a high-quality ad proposal. Relevant content from the user account is used to create ad suggestions which include existing ads, extensions, and landing page. Google also uses additional signals such as keywords and targeting in order to optimize the ad copies.

On April 29th, 2018 was a starting date when ad suggestions start appearing on the Adwords Recommendations page. These changes have been made clear to the advertisers through emails. However, confusions surrounded some changes because of some contrasting terms like you can manually apply or you can disable the ads but after two weeks it will automatically enable unless you manually remove them. Moreover, the terms also state that an email notification will be sent for each ad, but this still depends upon the configuration of your account.

Confusion For Adwords Advertiser

Unfortunately, this lucent idea has some loopholes. If keywords will determine the ads to be generated or are to be sponsored by a particular brand, this should be closely monitored to be able to satisfy not only the consumers but also the brands who will lay for the advertisements.

The idea of automatically generating ads using AI is definitely a good point for Google and is likely to increase its revenue in the long run. It might even be a good thing for the advertisers because they get a better chance to be advertised as often and be known. But as mentioned earlier, there is a greater chance of misleading keywords that might promote somebody else’s rather than them.

Conclusion

Artificial Intelligence is really a sensation and it is getting more better. More and more companies are investing in this technology in hope for a better revenue. However, there is an always a doubt whenever somebody uses it, Google for that matter soon it will going to introduce AI in this way. Once again, Google has proved that technology is the most powerful source of income.

We have recently talked about the evergreen content(blog) how to create it and why they are important for your site. True, blogs are great for driving traffic, but they aren’t the only type of content that you can create. There are many types of quality content that you can add to your site, not only make it more interesting for your visitors, but multimedia content has many on-page SEO benefits as well.

Create Huge Multimedia Origin

When talking about blogs, people immediately think of written articles.  Writing is definitely a big part of it, but there are many other things that you can create. Even better by adding multiple types of content together and posting them as one big resource.

Written articles are quite boring to look at. A huge mass of text can be quite discouraging for some, which can put people off from reading it. Any other types of content that you can add to your posts will encourage people to keep reading and stay on your site for longer. A better way of looking at it though is that you are creating a much bigger resource for people to enjoy/learn from it. You are essentially making it easier for people to keep coming back to your site and share your resource.

Think about it, if you were visiting a site would you prefer to share lots of little bits of content on the same subject or one huge resource?

On-Page SEO Benefits

The Added benefit of multimedia content resources is that it makes it easier for search engines to find you.

On-Page SEO is just a term for information that search engines use to identify what your content is about. The more information you can give, the easier it is for them to share it with people.

An article with images, videos, audio, etc. could also be found via Google images, YouTube,etc. if you add a link back to your blog (post), you can get natural traffic that way. What search engines are looking for though is it’s;

•     Title
•     Alt tags
•     Keywords and other defining information.

That is what helps them identify what your content is about.

As multimedia resources contain many different types of content on the same/similar subject, search engines will be able to gain a clearer understanding of what your content is about. The easier they can do this, the more people they can send to your site as it will rank higher in the SERPs.

Let’s start with the obvious one – images!

Images are used so frequently that we can sometimes forget about them as readers. If though you were to remove them all, you would definitely notice!  Images are much more than simple window dressing; they can help illustrate a point, convey your ideas more clearly, be funny, entertaining, helpful, etc. That is why you should always strive to include images where you can in your posts.

The more ways there are for people to find your site, the more traffic you will get.

Infographics

An infographic means information with graphics is the only way of displaying information in a unique and visually appealing way. This information can be anything really, though the best are usually created using statistics or data. The best thing about infographics is that they are simply images. You can include so much quality information in one that it becomes very useful to people. These can then be easily shared on social media or uploaded and used on other websites.

Pinterest is a great place to both find and share your infographics with people.

What is better than a single image? Multiple images of course!

Slideshows are a great way to group together images in one nice, tidy place for people to flick through. If all your images are related then you can package them up as topical slideshows. There are plenty of sites online that will allow you to make a slideshow, as well as enabling you to share it online and embed it into your website.

Video Marketing

Videos are a great way to engage with your audience. More often than not, when given the choice between reading something and watching something, people will choose the later. It is easier to connect with audiences and understand what the creator was explaining when you can actually see/hear them. Tutorials are much easier to understand when you can see exactly what you need to do, instead of reading a description. Sites like YouTube, Vimeo and others are great places to upload your videos to. The added benefit of YouTube of course it is owned by Google, which means that they give preference to YouTube videos, helping them to rank higher in the SERPs.

Multimedia content, no matter what it is, is good for your site. You don’t have to add all of the above to each post, but it doesn’t hurt to add one of two to each. It can actually be quite good to go back over some old content and add something new to refresh it. The great thing is, you don’t even have to create the content yourself. Add videos from YouTube and slides from SlideShare and people will appreciate it. You are sharing their content to give them more exposure and you in return get some nice free multimedia content for your site.

Publishing massive resources all the time isn’t possible in most cases. Aim to make them into evergreen content and they could bring in traffic consistently over time.

What type of content do you use in your posts? What content do you like on other sites? Let us know your views about all these in the comment section!

We all are aware of latest marketing trends and their ads campaign which are running (Google and Facebook) Worldwide access to the internet via smartphones, tablets and computers which has driven the success of many companies.

 

Most notably, Google has witnessed staggering growth as a result of technological innovation.

Change is largely familiar with Google as the dominant search engine platform. Google operates in multiple verticals consisting of mobile operating systems, hardware, video technology, and social media.

Facebook’s growth came as a result of widespread use of its social media platform. Connecting families, friends and colleagues through an easily-navigable website were innovative at the time. But in addition to conquering social media, Facebook’s business ventures consist of the acquisitions of Instagram, WhatsApp, and VR.

As Google AdWords and Facebook Ads, both operate through pay-per-click advertising channels. Although the difference between the two advertising services may be apparent, quantifying the maximum return on investment is difficult.

Google AdWords 

Generating over 95% of revenue in last year Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows companies to leverage new audiences. It primarily focuses on keywords that users type into search. Through efficient search engine optimization and Google AdWords, companies can seamlessly attract website traffic but be operating on a cost-per-click basis, companies are only charged when their ad has been clicked.

Facebook Ads

Facebook earns revenue from advertisements sold to companies. In fact, a majority of Facebook’s revenue is generated from a website and mobile advertising. Facebook Ads target user profiles and advertisers can use information like age, gender, and geographic location to target an audience network. Furthermore, user “Likes” will generate the appearance of ads like keywords on Google AdWords.

Due to the nature of Facebook’s website, the average session tends to last much longer than a typical Google search. As a result, user information collected from Facebook offers a better representation of an individual’s consumer habits. Advertisers use this to target audiences more likely to purchase their company’s goods or services.

Mobile Advertising

Over the past 10 years, the expansion of mobile technology has transformed the consumer landscape. From the inception of the smartphone and later the tablet, mobile advertising has become the primary focus for companies and advertisers. Currently, mobile advertising is broken down into a two-company race one is Google and another is Facebook.

Under these criteria, Google will be more Muscular than Facebook in web and mobile advertising. Well if it comes about online marketing, web presence, leads, conversions and traffic of each website, Google and Facebook are generally believed to be the best platforms for advertisers to reach their target audiences.

Moving forward, consumers will begin to favor products that protect their privacy. If consumers don’t prioritize privacy they will suffer some major impact on businesses. Because of a confluence of factors, marketers will begin using privacy protection and data security as a value proposition across industries.

• Doctrine of getting more valuable via social media channel

Instagram is growing at an incredible clip. In 2017, Instagram announced that approximately 800 million people use the platform each month. Their latest tool, Instagram Stories, became more popular than Snapchat just one year after going live. Since brands tend to see better engagement on Instagram than any other social media platform, and because of great advertising controls, Instagram is poised to become the go-to channel for brands interested in social media marketing.

Bulk of two-thirds of marketers will increase the number of live events which will be host in 2018. This is because marketers recognize live events are one of the most effective marketing channels.

Unheard-of marketing surprises await in 2018, and some of these predictions will probably fail to come to fruition as technology and the expectations of consumers change. Nevertheless, many of the trends outlined here are likely to come to pass.

The AdWords viewpoint as what we know it is an ever changing yard. Google strives to provide a better experience for the user and a more robust, effective way for advertisers to target and engage with their audiences.

Google Call Only Ads Now Support Ad Extensions

Google announced that now we’ll be able to show ad extensions with call-only ads to promote more relevant information about the products and services, and give people more reasons to choose their respective business. As they are allowing advertisers to use Location extensions, Callout extensions, and Structured snippets .

AdWords has acquainted with mobile sitelinks.

With the help of the Sitelinks, people easily will be going to specific pages on site directly from your ad, like your store hours page, product pages and more. Going forward, Google is simplifying how mobile sitelinks will show by using both horizontal buttons and larger vertical links as compare to early results it shown that people are twice as likely to interact with sitelinks in this new format.

Google Chrome shows all non HTTPS sites as ‘Non Secure’

People are becoming more web-savvy these days, and visiting a website which triggers the not secure mark in the URL bar should send off the warning alert to most. This impacts negative affect to the bounce rate of visitors, which would lead to lesser performing AdWords campaigns and potentially lower rankings in the search engine results.It is vital that your website uses the HTTPS security. If your site isn’t secure, don’t be surprised if your rankings and traffic begins to decrease over time as this is fully rolled out.

Changes to Google Shopping Mobile product listings

Google has started testing a different variation of mobile product cards in the Google Shopping format. The product appears at the top, within a conveyer that you can swipe for information, as well as filtering options underneath. This can help retail owners immensely; providing all the information an online shopper needs like prices, reviews, product description etc. before they even click through to the advertisers website to purchase the product.

With this update, retailers can ultimately expect higher conversion rates from mobile users especially those who provide competitive prices and a fantastic mobile shopping experience. Shoppers will have more buying intent before clicking through due to the additional information.

It’s hard to believe that there are just a few weeks left in 2017. How effective were your SEO strategies and its initiatives will be? Were they better or worse or beyond than expectations? We can’t Predict!

Similar to other areas of the industries, SEO is constantly changing. The once fail-proof method of consistently landing a top SERPs(search engine results pages) became irrelevant within a few months. SEO practices that once dominated the industry quickly fell out of favor.

The Google algorithm itself changes constantly, sometimes with multiple changes happening within months. On top of that, the technology available to SEO professionals also constantly evolves, allowing us to stay informed the seemingly daily changes of what it takes to dominate search.

While 2017 has brought about the dominance of Google AMP (accelerated mobile pages), the rise of HTTPS, the importance of backlinks, the precaution of the overuse of 301 redirects and reformatting of rich snippets to accommodate the increasing popularity of voice search, some of these trends will continue into 2018 and some will fall away.

Increased SERPs Features

It is the goal of any SEO professional to achieve and maintain a high volume of traffic to a given website. Ideally, this would be the result of reaching the top spot on a search engine results page. Not only is it important to achieve this coveted position, but to also maintain it as long as possible.

However, with the latest developments in the search engines, achieving this #1 ranking may no longer be enough to get the traffic you desire. Gone are the days of the ten search results listings, highlighted in blue hypertext, and a couple of clearly marked ads.

Now, when you look at a SERP, it is cluttered with images, videos, links, social media mentions, in-depth article listings, various widgets, and ads. While keyword and key phrase optimization are still important, you now have other offsite elements to consider. Popular search engine results page features include AdWords, news block, featured snippets, local packs, reviews, tweets, video, image pack, shopping results and site links.

“Rich Snippet” Structuring needed

There are rich snippets and regular snippets. Both include a clickable title, a URL, and a meta description. Rich snippets have more condensed titles that include “|” instead of a dash (-), reviews and an image. How you structure the data, however, is important in how search engines will display the information.

Page Speed

In today’s fast-paced, on-demand society, people want things, including information, immediately. Nothing is more frustrating than clicking on a website that appears to answer your question exactly, only to have to wait for the page to load. If the page doesn’t load in 5 seconds, you’re off onto another website that can hopefully give you the answers you need. If your page is slow, your site traffic will suffer. Page speed is a user experience feature that is expected of all websites. To see how the speed of your website stacks up, you can take Google’s PageSpeed Insights. As speed has been a critical component for years, but moving into 2018, we’re going to see even more emphasis on it in the future.

Increased Page Relevance

This means that search engines will evaluate the relevancy of the content on your website. As Google assess the relevance of a website’s content is with Latent Semantic Indexing. Through Latent Semantic Indexing Google can gather content from billions of websites and parse through the content, scanning for related terms and words.

Voice Search is More Real

Just like in 2017, voice search will continue to pick up steam. Many consumers prefer the convenience of speaking over typing. Not only is it faster, but the queries can also be more detailed. More importantly, voice recognition software has reached the point where users are comfortable trusting it to understand their normal speech. The increased detail of search queries means you’ll need to go beyond the simple keyword and phrases to rank and focus more on terms and phrases people are naturally going to say out loud. People speak differently than they type, so your SEO strategy should try using conversational terms and sentences.

Mobile Will be More Important

Smartphones dominate the landscape and more & more web browsing is occurring on mobile devices. In fact, the number of people using their smartphones to browse the Internet is higher than the number who browse on a traditional desktop computer. It is no longer optional to have a mobile-friendly website. It is now required and expected by the search engines and the users. In fact, mobile friendliness is now a search ranking factor.

The Rise of “Linkless” Backlinks

Backlinks have been the tea and saucer of SEO for many years. In the past, this linking from another source to shore a webpage’s authority in the eyes of Google was abused, prompting Google to come up with the Penguin algorithm in 2012. A simple link just isn’t going to stand out from the crowd. Search engines now have the ability to associate mentions of brands, institutions, organizations, and people without the need of linking to their corresponding webpages. While links are going to still carry some weight, the other content around the hyperlinked text is going to also be very important.

SERPs Will Continue Getting Personal

Traditional search ranking factors, such as page speed, content relevancy and page authority, search engines are using information about the user, such as interests, browsing history and location, provide a personalized search results list. Pages that succeed in dominating search will not only get more initial traffic, but when a user clicks to their page, that business’s page will subsequently appear in future searches by that user.This will give you a greater opportunity to dominate that user’s SERPs in the future.

Optimize Your Strategies in 2018

SEO is an ever-changing industry. In 2018, Google will continue to enhance the web user’s experience by scanning the relevancy of a page’s content, using personalized search engine results and faster page speeds, and include additional results page features.

Websites are mobile-friendly and full of normal, conversational terms and words.It takes time and long-term care.

Google cautiously work on its algorithms and updates to improve the results appeared on SERP (Search Engine Ranking Pages) and the new update by Google ‘Mobile- First Index’ isn’t actually ‘new’.

Most of us might not have heard about it but it was announced in 2016 by Doantam Phan, Product Manager- Google. Although it was clearly stated that it won’t affect much of the ranking still there will be a massive chaos in the indexing process. Before learning more about Mobile-First Indexing, let’s understand what indexing means.

What is mean by Indexing?

The standard definition of indexing is the process of search engine where the robots come and crawl the website and take snaps, which is stored and considering all the ranking factors, the website is placed on SERP. We can view the saved copy and the last indexed time by visiting the cached version is displayed below.

How Google Indexing Is Done Now:

At present, Google has an indexing procedure in which the desktop site is primarily indexed for providing the results. Even for mobile  What happens in the back ends is the mobile bots land on your website and check the ‘Mobile Friendliness’ of a site on the desktop itself.

What is Mobile-First Indexing?

As mentioned, Google doesn’t have a separate indexing process for mobile and the recent figures say that more than 70% of the searches are made from the mobile. So Google is planning to make a separate process of indexing for mobile phones known as Mobile-First Indexing to provide even better results for the mobile users.

Even for the site who have Accelerated Mobile Pages, there’s some gap of providing the exact content because of the existing indexing procedure.

Checklist to face Google’s Mobile-First Index:

1. Make sure that your mobile version of the website has the same content as Desktop version. Even if you have Accelerated Mobile Pages make sure all the content exist on the website.
2. If all of your web pages are not displayed on the mobile version, then sorry, your site will be greatly affected by this update. Try website compressor rather than excluding pages.
3. Proper navigation of menus and sub-menus of the website are the most important factor in the indexing procedure of website under the mobile first-index update.
4. This is actually going to be in the main comprised of mobile pages, meaning that snippets, structured data, and other content will appear in Google search results.
5. The visual appeal even of the mobile-friendly websites are somewhere improper, like the alignment issue of the text, image size or clarity, popups etc. even such minor issues can land your website’s ranking somewhere you don’t want.

This is understandable for all, how this is showing the change in indexing, and even if you have been working on mobile optimization and planning for this kind of change over the past months or years, there are still things your business needs to do to be ready.

 Prepared your business and get started with this new announcement from Google-

• Mobile Sensibility – If your site already has a responsive design, by Google’s standards, you will likely not have to do much to be properly indexed for mobile.
• Structured Data Testing- Trial structured data tests for both URLs and compare the output. Adjust any errors that might be present, but avoid adding any instruction that isn’t necessary to mobile sites.
• Google bots-  Trial the txt testing tool to make sure that the mobile version of your site is accessible to Googlebot this will be key for indexing.
• Canonical Links-  If your site does have canonical links, there is no need to make changes.
• Webmaster Forums- If you have specific questions on your mobile site, you can contact Google Webmasters
• Verify in Search Console- If you have only verified the desktop version of your site, you will need to verify your mobile version as well.
• Building a Mobile Site  – Google will continue to index desktop sites, so it is better to have a quality and complete mobile site.

It is going to take some time for Google to make this change in prioritizing mobile indexing, so in the meantime, do all that you can to optimize your site and get prepared for it.

Going through the optimization list will be comprehensive enough to make sure your site is indexed at this point. Google is very likely to put out more information soon since this is so new. In the next blog, we will explore more in-depth so that you can make a preparation checklist as we enter the New Year.

So Stay Tuned!

How Effective Will It Be?

Today’s most popular link-building tactics are content marketing and guest blogging. But step back for a moment and take a thought-provoking look at it.

Aren’t you just pick for yourself?

And didn’t we just see how Google’s evolution might remove any benefit from self-linking or worse, maybe even punish it as a “dishonest” practice in the future?

If you’re guest blogging only for links, it’s time to reconsider that strategy. It might work better in the long term if you built quality content that people want to link to themselves because it is helpful, solves their problems and fulfills their needs, or delivers overwhelming value.

It’s another instance of how blindly following the crowd and repeating what someone else says or does might have limited SEO shelf life, potentially harming your business and brand down the line.

Make something unique!

This word “Unique” something that stands out. Invest the time to do it right, even if it means taking a lot of time. That’s what will pay off in the long run, and that’s what will make your SEO and link building more certify.

Don’t haunt overwriting content that will get traction. Instead, focus on how you can best help your prospective buyers. How will they benefit from your planned post? How can you provide them with genuine value? To create great content, you must understand what goes on in your ideal customer’s mind.
