Semantic Relevance & Post Etiquette for Engagement


 How Semantic Relevance Adds to Your Business Presence Semantic relevance comprises your entire presence on the web. Your Google+ page, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest boards, etc. and all the people who engage with you make up your relevance on the web. Content, media, marketing, engagement are all part of your semantic (what the search engine notices about you) presence. You want everything you do online related to your business to send out a consistent message. If you outsource various parts of your business such as content creation marketing social media SEO graphic design and anyone else involved in your online presence they all need to be clear on the business message and your online persona so that a consistent message goes out not only to your clients and customers but to the search engines as well. You send out signals about the type of business you run.

How To Be Semantically Smart


EAT Experience, Authority, Trust Google is the big search engine. Recently Google has changed the way it searches your content, especially on your web page. What worked last year does not serve you well now. Your landing page is the base of how people and search engines perceive you and your business. What s on you landing page? You need breadth and depth in your content so you resonate with what your audience is looking for. Show your experience through regular and consistent content. Build your authority by referencing other authorities in your field. If you do this regularly search will begin to see you as an authority as well. Your consistency in giving your audience a rich experience, with depth of content and links, and a consistent tone and message across all platforms will develop trust with your readers and with search. You create a double bonus for your brand. It s not a Popular Keyword As a business you need to trust the people who are actually looking for what you offer.

Sunday Side – What do you feel?


Sentiment and Google Search Theory Google wants to know your feelings. Did you know that? Google calls it sentiment analysis. If you are way into it you can read Google s explanation. After Facebook s revelation of their emotional contagion experiment expect more sentiment fiddling. David Amerland semantic search spokesperson wrote about the ramifications in an article Sentiment Analysis in Semantic Search earlier this week. Google, The Research Foundation Of The State University Of New York, and Microsoft have all entered the quest for sentiment and opinion mining. Right now, sentiment analysis is hard to do and predictive search at this time is only able to truly search for two of four variables. What does this mean for you? Comments now really matter, says David Amerland. And You want your comments to be positive. Because in semantic search reputation and authority are driven by positive comments.

Sunday Side – Google+ Notes and Tips


Quick Tip The notification bell, often called Mr. Jingles, can give you an overwhelming list of post notices. On a computer you need to check and delete each notice one by one. If you have a mobile device (mine is a mobile phone/tablet) go to Google+ you can speed up the process of sorting through notifications. I used to spend hours clicking those notifications one by one. Instead of clicking each notice, you can quickly swipe away each notice on the mobile device. I go through the notifications while listening to an audio book. I swipe all the notices which require no response and leave notices that need a lengthy response. It is time consuming to try to write one, two or three paragraph responses on the phone. When I return to my computer, those notices I want to reply to are at the top. I can go through and respond using my keyboard to engage and interact with those contacts. This simple sort has saved me hours of time. Time better spent interacting (engaging) with others. Interac

Post-Panda Article Marketing Tips

About Article Marketing Learning  great article marketing is a good  part of any marketing method if you like writing. It is a good idea to design what you are going to write before you begin. Limit your keyword research to about five key phrases. Long-tail keywords are short phrases that you  use as a basis for your articles. If you have the time and inclination to write two articles for every keyword phrase you come up with you are able to submit them to the top article directories over the following few weeks.
