Great Keyword Tool

This strategy can increase the search engine results page ranking (SERPS) for your website.
This process may seem simple, but understanding the search process by your users, as well as Google’s process for ranking your site, can create a more complex process.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the environment in which online marketing thrives. Traditional media was a one way communication from businesses to potential customers relating the product attributes to them.

The internet and the evolution of social media has completely changed the communication dynamic. These days, customers and the general public have a voice and can add their perspectives on businesses, brands and products.

This means that your business needs to monitor the mentions of your brand, as well as communicating honestly and openly with people on the internet.

All of this can seem overwhelming, because your brand exists in the public arena, and you no longer have control over the brand image that is portrayed in the media.

To regain control and manage your brand personality, you need the best online marketing team around.

Visit Web-Smart and go to http://www.web-smart.co.za now for tips and advice on how to engage with your target market in the online environment.

Powerful Linking For SERPs Ranking

Google rankings are influenced by a number of factors, including links.
Adding a link to another site alerts Google that you verify that the website you
are linking to has some credibility. If that website links back to you, both of your sites lose a lot of the impact of the link. This is because the recommendation becomes less credible.

If a site with a high PageRank links to you, with a one way link, than that is considered a very good recommendation of your site. The lower the credibility of the linking site, the lower the link is weighted by Google.

If the link to your site is done using anchor text that looks like this example, Google rates the link higher.

Linking to link farms is bad for your sites credibility.

The system of ranking by Google is very logical. They aim to put the best possible results on the top and first page of their Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) for every search.
If your site is optimised, Google will rank you higher.

Why you Need to Drive Traffic to Your Site

The term traffic refers to the internet users that visit a website. Increased traffic leads to an increase in conversions.
Defining conversions are up to the business involved. For example, if at the end point you want the site user to make a purchase, then the conversion will be defined as a sale. In order for conversions to take place, the site needs increased traffic. Search Engines are responsible for the majority of traffic onto any website.

Search Engines are the point of entry of the internet. Statistics show that the higher the ranking on search engine results pages (SERPS), the higher the credibility of the website. For your business that means that if your website is on the first page of the SERP, the chances of an internet user clicking on your site and fulfilling a conversion increase.

Web-Smart has the expertise to increase your ranking on the SERPS in order for your site to increase conversions.

Web-Smart Brings Affiliate Marketing to You

Conversions are the basis for all online marketing. Yes, brand building is a long term business sustainability method, and this should not be overlooked. But we look for conversions when undertaking online marketing processes. But for conversions to take place, we need traffic to increase.

What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a pay-for-performance model of marketing that increases traffic on your site.
This "pay-for-performance" model, where individuals are compensated for introducing new clients to a business. The difference in the case of affiliate marketing is that advertisers only pay their publishers when the new client introduction results in a sale or a lead, making it a low-risk, and high-reward situation for both sides.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
When a consumer clicks on a publisher's link, a cookie is set on the visitor's browser that identifies the advertiser, the publisher, and the specific link and payment rates. When the visitor makes an actual purchase online or fills out a form, that transaction is tracked and recorded by Web-Smart. Web-Smart handles all of the administration of the affiliates, making it an easy choice for marketers.

What You Need to Know About Site Maps

A site map is blueprint of how all the pages in the site are linked. Sitemaps make navigating your site easier. Updating your Sitemap benefits your users and your site in terms of search engines.
In robots.txt, you instruct search engines on which parts of your site to exclude from indexing. Your site map instructs search engines where you would like them to go.

Site Maps immediately inform search engine robots about changes to your website. If your site is new, or if you have made a considerable amount of new then using a sitemap can be fundamental to the success of your website.

What Google has to Say about Site Maps:
In general, there are two types of sitemaps. The first type of sitemap is a HTML page listing the pages of your site - often by section - and is meant to help users find the information they need.

XML Sitemaps - usually called Sitemaps, with a capital S - are a way for you to give Google information about your site. This is the type of Sitemap we'll be discussing in this article.

In its simplest terms, a Sitemap is a list of the pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by Google's normal crawling process.

Sitemaps are particularly helpful if:
• Your site has dynamic content.
• Your site has pages that aren't easily discovered by Googlebot during the crawl process - for example, pages featuring rich AJAX or Flash.
• Your site is new and has few links to it. (Googlebot crawls the web by following links from one page to another, so if your site isn't well linked, it may be hard for us to discover it.)
• Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not well linked to each other, or are not linked at all.
You can also use a Sitemap to provide Google with additional information about your pages, including:
• How often the pages on your site change. For example, you might update your product page daily, but update your About Me page only once every few months.
• The date each page was last modified.
• The relative importance of pages on your site. For example, your home page might have a relative importance of 1.0, category pages have an importance of 0.8, and individual blog entries or product pages have an importance of 0.5. This priority only indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact the ranking of your pages in search results. (Google)
