Mobile SEO

Mobile visitors to websites is increasing exponentially. Basically all companies today have visibility online and traffic from mobile users is growing every day. If the trend continues, the question is: When the internet has more visitors from mobile phones than from desktops?
The next question is: How have you prepared?
According to statcounter the trend is clear: desktop traffic decreases and mobile traffic increases. This past year, the percentage shift was 6-7%, but it is an accelerating trend, there is probably no doubt. The exponential growth of mobile traffic is a fact, and mobile SEO becomes essential for Corporate Websites.
Mobile SEO is becoming a new way to look at search engine optimization. You have an audience with new needs and you have a websites with new conditions.

There are three main areas related to mobile SEO:

Behaviour.

Mobile users have a behavior that is different from what we are used to from desktop users. A mobile user is often in motion and writes short phrases (according to Google an average of 15 characters) and want the quick and concise information. If a site does not load quickly or if the information is difficult to access from a mobile phone you will lose that visitor. And that particular visitor is many likely a customer and the person may be on the way to the physical location. Therfore it is imortant to focus more on mobile users.
We know that a mobile visitor rarely go deeper into the site than 2-3 levels. It is therefore important to present information early on the site. In Google analytics, you can easily see how many pages a mobile visitor visits compared to a desktop and a tablet.
We know that iPad visitors stay an average of one second longer on the site than iphone visitors. This says something about an ipad visitor often lies on the couch, unlike an iPhone visitor who is most likely on the move. How and what information is presented in relation to these two target groups’ behavior can be crucial for the visitor to become a customer. An iPad visitor want entertainment while an iPhone visitors most likely want information.

Design – Important in mobile SEO.

The user experience is everything for a mobile user. How a site’s content is presented in a mobile phone is a big part of the user experience. Available contact with a clickable phone number can help many visitors to find what they looking for.
Behind the design is technology. There are three different solutions, Google themselves recommend all three but seems clearly prefer the responsive solution.
Responsive Design – Responsive Design means that a site’s appearance is related to the user’s screen size.
Separately Mobile Domain – a separate mobile domain means that you reaches it at a completely separate domain such as mobile.yourdomain.com
Dynamic Server – Dynamic server is an option that makes it possible to dynamically control the content on the site. Example, one can show different content on the same URL depending on whether they come from a mobile device or a desktop computer.
How you should think about these solutions depends on the business and as always, there are both good and bad examples. But for most websites is a responsive solution probably the best solution.
From an SEO perspective, I would like Google encourages you to use the responsive solution when dealing with mobile SEO. By using a separately domain Google’s spiders have to crowl your website multiple times and this means that there is a risk of duplicate content. You will not have the same problem with a responsive solution.

Geography and Google Places.

Geographic search is becoming more common today, especially in the mobile phone. There is a clear relationship between mobile search and geographic search which even Google has seen. This is probably why Google Places is so well-suited for smart phones.
We know how a well adapted Google Places account can provide a significantly increased organic traffic, we also know that Google gives Places increasingly visibility and location.
In addition to location services, you should try to customize the site to geographic search. If, for example, you offers a service that can be linked to a geographical location. Then use a special landing page for this location.

What is SEO Hosting?

With a traditional web hosting you buy domain names, which you can control through your control panel. Even if you create 400 different websites with 400 different pages and with different content, the search engines will still be able to discover that these sites are related and are owned by the same person because of allocated IP addresses. Chances are that all your IP addresses will have similar IP numbers, or in some cases the same C class.

IP – Your address online.

Just as your home address tells those who are looking for your house and where it is located on a map, the IP adress works the same way it pointing to the IP address of the computer that is connected to the Internet and your computer’s actual location. The different numbers refer to the network that a computer belongs to and the receiving part identifies your computer.
Class C IP, which is the third class in terms of IP addresses, is essential for this purpose. Since search engines can detect whether a group is linked together and located on the same server. You have nothing to gain on linking sites together from the same server for the possibility to increase rankings through links. In other words, you need to avoid to be seen as “link farm”.

Improve SEO with different geographic located websites.

IP addresses from different geographic locations creates an additional value, and you can even have different name servers. The geographic location of the site are you able to set in the webmaster tools. If you plan on building a large number of content sites, it may be helpful to use a dedicated server.
The purpose of SEO hosting becomes a little more clear, as it allows the site owner to controls the number of C IP addresses, which can be in several different places. Since the class C portion of the IP address are different it looks like domains are completely independent of each other, although they are actually owned and controlled by the same person or company.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

With a content delivery network are you able to create a quality network of sites, which will be treated as independent domains, yet interrelated. Keep this in mind when working with SEO in a larger context and when choosing web hosting. It is imortant to create a long term SEO strategy.

SEO hosting benefits.

The benefits of using SEO hosting in this way is to create a legitimate network of linked and related websites with high quality to increase its popularity and authority.
Google allow you to use SEO hosting and will not have any problem with this as long as it adds value to the internet and your visitors. Also make sure that you create quality content.

Create an Authority Site – Best way to Rank

Top Rank with Authority Sites!

An authority site is a high quality website that is trusted by the people in the industry. The site consist of high quality content and by quality content I mean articles, guides, reviews that people actually like and want to share with their friends.
What an authority site is not! It’s not a site only optimized for search engines, so it will rank high. It’s not an EMD site only targeting one niche.
What an authority site is! It’s a site that provides useful information to the user. It’s a site that people want to share. It’s an site that rank well on multiple search terms, both with long tail keywords and Exact Match Searches. In other words, if it’s properly built it should rank better than an EMD site!

Authority sites focus on two sources of traffic:

  1. Free traffic from the Search Engines by using SEO.
  2. Referral traffic from Social Networking Sites.

How to monetize an Authority Site?

Here is how you can make money of your authority site.

You can loan the site to a company within that niche.

You can sell it to a company within that niche.
Sell leads.
Put affiliate links / products on the site.
Put ads on the site by using AdSense. A tip is to not only use one of these methods, instead put AdSense and Affiliate links on it and sell leads to companies.

Domain.

Before we start build the site you will need a domain. Here are some tips how to pick the best domain.
The domain should be easy to read and spell, but the most important, is it should be easy to remember!
Always use .com!
Try to place you keyword in the domain!
Don’t use numbers in your domain! Instead try to use some prefix then your keyword!
When I first started building websites, I used HostGator, but today I use BlueHost for my clients sites and Authority sites.
HostGator work great if you want to build a blog or just starting to build websites. But for your clients I would not recommend HostGator since their shared hosting is to slow.
Want the best hosting? Start using Bluehost like me!

Build the website!

WordPress.

I usually use WordPress when I build my sites, since its one if the easiest CMS on the internet. It’s not one of the fastest, but it’s stable and has a large number of users, so it’s easy to get support.

Theme.

When choosing theme, try to buy some premium theme or use some free ones. Don’t download premiums themes from non-trusted sources, since they might have vulnerabilities which may lead to your website gets hacked.
Some great theme I use:
Heatmap, CTR Theme, WP Herald, Clickbump and AdSense Pro Ultimate.

Plugins.

One of the best features with WordPress is the large amount of plugins. However, all is not good and it’s hard to find good plugins that won’t harm or slow down your site.
Here are some of my favorite WordPress Plugins:
All in one SEO Pack or WordPress SEO by Yoast
Link Cloaking (Great to hide affiliate links)
Contact Form 7
W3 Total Cache
Google XML Sitemap
WP Sitemap Page
Broken Link Checker
I try not to use too many plugins as it increases you loading time, which will affect the number of visitors.

Modify WordPress settings.

To speed up your site is suggest you disable pingbacks and trackbacks.
Add a ping service list (Here are a list of ping services) to add ping services go to [Settings > Writing]

Permalinks.

Set permalinks as /%postname%/

Reduce images size.

Set a max size on the images, this will reduce the sites loading time. To change image size go to [Settings > Media]

Disable Default Gravator images.

By disable the Gravator images, you will reduce the sites loading time. Go to Settings > Discussion and check Blank.
Most authority sites are based on information people might need. Therefore, you should create many articles with high quality, which you publishes over a few days. Start by publishing 30-50 high quality articles which you publish during a week, then continue to publish 100+ articles each month. It’s important that you continue to publish articles each week and you should atleast publish one article per week. The more content you publish the faster the site will get indexed by Google. An example of this is news sites, they publish several news articles every day and they are indexed in seconds / minutes.
When you start to publish content, try to make it look natural. Don’t publish 100+ of articles each day, it will not appear real and it might hurt your site!

Think of this when building Online Shop

It’s not just the products in your webshop that makes your customer shop. It is equally important to think about the small details of how your site looks and behaves. How do you design your site to make as many conversion as possible – and get more customers to shop.
The word “conversion” is about to get more of your visitors to your online store to actually buy something. It depends of course of what products you sell, what prices you have and how good looking product photos you have uploaded. But equally important is the smaller and more subtle things that encourage purchases.

There are two main things you should keep in mind when thinking about conversion:

  • It should be easy to shop. Your visitors must therefore understand how the site works. Many e-commerce often tells in text how to proceed in order to shop on the site. But if it is need then the site is too complicated. Visitors will most likely not read the text, therefore build a site that does not need a manual.
  • The site must be fast. Otherwise the customers get tired . You often read that it should not take longer than two seconds to load, otherwise you will lose customers.
But the conversion should not only be measured in the number of customers who buy. It is equally important to try to get visitors to look at more products and stay longer on the page.
  • Clickable should “feel” clickable. Buy buttons and other key features should stand out and not look like the rest of the site.
  • Reduce the steps to checkout. From visits to purchase, it should be as few steps as possible.
  • Minimize customer’s work. Do not ask the customer to fill in a lot of information that you do not need. Do you really need to know the customer’s phone number?
  • Invest in additional sales. Many people build their web shops with new customers in mind. But as in any sale – it is often easier to sell more to a existing customer.
  • Opt for thoughtful and simple pages. Customers shall be able to reach your site in several ways and all sub-pages should also bee easy to understand – not just the home page.

Make Money Online

Many people believe it is easy to make money on the internet and some make it sound like it’s just to press a button and it start to raining money on you… but it is not that simple. To make money requires a lot of work, just look at your parents they have worked their whole life, to live as they do today with house, car, etc
So do not think it is easy to earn lots of money online. However, there are ways to make money online, but it requires hard work.

Best ways to make money online!

  • Passive income online by affiliate:

    You may have heard the term affiliate? It means you can earn money online by promoting someone else’s product or service. There are many companies that offer you to become an affiliate partner. This means that you get paid once you generated a sales / traffic to the company. To start generating a good income by affiliate you have to offer a good product that pays well. All you need to do is to generate traffic to them and when something is sold you make money online.
  • Make money online with e-commerce:

    E-commerce has become quite popular in the 2000s because it is easier and cheaper to set up a web shop instead of a regular store and a big difference is that you have access to a much larger market than just locally. But running an online shop requires far more work than the affiliate does, because you have to make sure to ship away your products, make sure that our customers get their products.
  • Make money online with Google AdSense:

    Many have actually created a good full-time income through Google AdSense, the only problem is that you need a page that already has good traffic. If you have no traffic to your website. Then it takes quite some time to build up a good flow of traffic. This is, for example how major bloggers earn their money.
  • Passive income online by trading stocks with high dividend:

    For those of you who are new to this with stocks and terminology let me begin by explaining what the yield or dividend is about. First and foremost, you should know that stocks are a stake in a company. Do you, for example own some Google stocks, it means you own a certain part of the company. The size of the portion depends on how many stocks there totally are. If a company has 200 million shares and you own 100 million, then you own in other words, half the company. The whole idea of ​​a business is that it will ultimately turn a profit (why else start a business?) To make it easy, you can do two things with the profits of the company. Either maintains the profits to maybe be able to expand the business or if you have no need of the money right now you can instead distribute the profits to the owners. Let’s say you invest $10k into a company that pays 7% in dividend each year, and then you will get $700 each year without doing anything. This method is fairly simple, all you have to do is find company which pay high dividend and you will make passive money online.

Other ways to make money online!

Create websites – You do not have to create the next Facebook to get rich!
Youtube – Start a YouTube channel where you publish videos about something you are good at e.g tutorials.
Stream – Start a stream channel on Twitch.tv where you stream when you play some games. You can make money from Ads or Donations.
