SEO Needs Transparency – Genuine SEO Gurus Suggest Google Optimization

SEO Needs Transparency – Genuine SEO Gurus Suggest Google Optimization

Search engine optimization or SEO is one of the most popular online marketing methods applied these days and there is no doubt that a lot of people are opting for it. However there are certain things that you should know before jumping on to decisions. A lot of business owners opt for SEO without knowing that they actually need Google optimization not SEO.

Imagine you are on the top of Yahoo and Bing but there is no one searching for the keywords on these search sites. Therefore what matters is your ranking on Google and not anywhere else. As you opt for an online marketing option it is crucial that you can get analysis on which search site will actually help you. There is no point in getting rankings on search engines that do not draw traffic for specific keywords that you target.

It is crucial that you can get transparency in your online marketing campaign and then you’ll know that Google optimization is the best possible alternative you have. Since Google is most used search engine there are very high chances that you’ll be able to get people hooked on to your site through it. Even the most respected SEO Gurus recommend that at times businesses do not require SEO on all engine, just Google is sufficient.

This surely does not say that SEO is not required at all but the emphasis should be on the fact that Google optimization is something that most people are seeking but since they are not completely aware about the term they opt for SEO. In the long run they are just wasting money by trying to rank on other search engines as the number of searches is too low there. It would be better if all efforts are concentrated on Google only so that the best results can be obtained.

You can ask a professional online marketing company to help you with the same and give you an overview of what you can achieve with SEO and how can Google optimization help. All of this information in most cases is a part of the initial project report highlighting the number of searches that will be targeted by the marketing campaign. In case you have hired an SEO company but do not have such a report, you can always ask them to provide you with one such report so that you can know where your money is being spent.

Google Suggest, Your Next Search

Google, the search engine giant has launched Google Suggest, a query feature that provides real time suggestions during searches. Google Suggest provides a list of query suggestions when users start typing in the search box, helping to formulate queries and reduce spelling errors.

1. How Google Suggest influences the traffic you get from Google

Google added the Google Suggest feature that had been available in beta for a long time to its main page. Now Google is rolling out their suggest feature in main page. This might sound like a small change but it can have a big effect on the traffic that you get from Google.

2. What is Google Suggest?

Google Suggest guesses what you’re typing and offers suggestions in real time in other word Google Suggest adds suggestions to your search query while you type it. For example, if you type “prog” in Google’s search box, then Google will suggest “programming”, “programming language”, “progressive” and a variety of other keywords.

3. Why does this change the traffic that you’ll get from Google?

Google Suggest uses data about the overall popularity of various searches to help rank the refinements it offers. The implementation of Google Suggest on the main search page might have several effects on the keywords that web surfers use:

4. People might search less for one or two word keywords

MP3 is a very popular search term. However, it’s unlikely that a search for “mp3″ will return the results that the web surfer searched for. When you now search on Google, Google will suggest “mp3 player”, “mp3 downloads” and “mp3 converter” among many other suggestions. It’s likely that the web surfer will choose one of these suggestions because they describe more accurately what they are looking for.

5. Web surfers might become less creative when they search

Some people might think that the options offered in Google’s suggest box is the only possible keyword combinations that can be entered. Other people might rely on Google’s suggested keywords out of convenience.

Technically less adept web surfers or lazy people might stick with the default suggestions instead of really typing what they are looking for.

6. AdWords prices for some keywords might go up

Instead of many different keyword combinations, the same (suggested) keyword combinations might be searched over and over. This could result in increasing AdWords prices for these keywords and in increased competition for these keywords.

7. Long-tail keywords might be negatively affected

Long-tail keywords are typically 4-6 words in length. This keyword that probably will not appear on Google Suggest. Google will only show relatively popular keywords based on what you type. These keywords are usually much targeted and they often lead to conversions because people who enter long-tail keywords know what they’re looking for. As Google mainly suggests keywords that consist of up to 3 keywords, the amount of long tail keywords might decrease.

8. Long-tail keywords might be positively affected

On the other side, Google Suggest might show some people that it is possible to refine search queries. Web surfers might use Google’s suggested keywords and further refine the queries with their own words. People who never thought about their search terms now might start to do so. if you are providing seo services then above points are very important for your search analysis.

Google Suggest for Niche Market Research

If you use keyword information for website pages, niche markets, niche products, Google Adwords or anything else, then this is something you really must be looking at. As a keyword idea “brainstorming” method it surely can have few equals.

And did I mention that it’s completely FREE?

Are you using Google Suggest? You can see it in action at http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en by entering any word or phrase. To use the function, your browser must be Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer), Netscape 7.1 (or newer), Mozilla 1.4 (or newer), Firefox 0.8 (or newer), Opera 7.54 (or newer), or Safari 1.2.2 (or newer). You’ll also need to have both JavaScript and cookies enabled.

I have several ways I do keyword research depending on what I need keywords for. A few months ago, a friend mentioned Google Suggest, a tool I had not heard of. He had to explain it to me several times until the light went on in my brain. I had seen it while using the search box on the Google Toolbar, but I didn’t stop to investigate and see that it’s not just showing your recent searches.

WHAT IS GOOGLE SUGGEST?

This is one of Google’s recent developments and what a great tool it is for finding keywords. The idea behind it is like predictive texting like you get on mobile cell phones. You start typing something and the software looks at what you are typing and finishes it off for you.

To give you an idea, I’ll provide a few examples of how it works to provide you with actual high search words as you are performing a Google search. This example will use the phrase “real estate.”

I started with the broadest, most generic term that could be applied so I typed “real estate” into the search box and here’s what happened.

1. When I got to “real es”, Google completed the box and displayed these results:

real estate

real estate.com

real estate.com.au

real estate listings

real estate agents

real estate agent

real estate Australia

real estate news

real estate license

real estate listing

So before I had even finished typing in the search query, Google had come up with some new ideas that I could use for another search!

Out of these 10 results, the following were of interest to me: real estate listings, real estate agents, and real estate license.

2. I can now use these results to perform a new search, so as an example I’ll take “real estate agent”. Here’s the results of that search:

real estate agents

Real estate agent salary

real estate agent mail

real estate agent seattle

real estate agents Melbourne

real estate agent fees

real estate agents Sydney

real estate agent training

real estate agents brisbane

This throws up a few more results that I can drill down a bit further, real estate agent salary, real estate agent mail, real estate agent fees and real estate agent training.

I would do the same again with real estate news, real estate listings, and real estate license (from Step 1) which would give me new results that I could use.

Are you starting to see the power of this method for generating sets and subsets of keywords?

3. Now we go back and continue with the original search, which was “real estate”. As we type in each letter, the 10 results change to produce new ideas that we can use, for example:

real estate for sale

This is another useful keyword that I can use.

So from my original search “real estate” I now have the following list:

real estate

real estate.com

real estate.com.au

real estate listings

real estate agents

real estate agent

real estate australia

real estate news

real estate license

real estate listing

real estate agents

real estate agent salary

real estate agent mail

real estate agent seattle

real estate agents melbourne

real estate agent fees

real estate agents sydney

real estate agent training

real estate agents Brisbane

real estate for sale

Again these can be plugged into Google Suggest to see what else it displays so there’s a lot more terms that I can find that would be great for a project but that should be enough to let you see how it works.

The great thing about the results that you’re getting is that they are based on search popularity, from information Google has saved from actual searches. If you look at the numbers to the right of the search terms returned, you get an instant picture of how popular these searches are on the internet.

Now Google doesn’t exactly spell this out, but the 10 results that you see are placed in order of number of searches.

Alongside is the number of search page results for the term, so you can do an instant evaluation as to what are going to be the phrases worth going after. If a term is getting a lot of searches and doesn’t have much competition – you have found a new project to work on!

You can also use Google Suggest in the Google Toolbar, but it does not return the actual number of searches. Still a great way to start brainstorming a new project or to quickly find words and phrases people are searching on.
