  • How many people in this room agree with this statement?
  • 2010 has been the year when SEO has been pronounced dead most of the times and here are the reasons why:
  • Google&apos;s revenue, with supposedly fewer users than Facebook, is $23.531 billion - and rising. Facebook, with more users, who reportedly spend more time on the site, has estimated revenues around $1
  • News search on search engines shows results from Twitter, Digg and other social media sitesBrand name/personality searches throw up results from Linked In, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter etc and in real timeCorporates use video sites, such as Youtube and social media sites in combination with the official site to dominate top results, which is an effort at reputation management.Google is using it mostly in real-time search results but they are also studying on using it more in web search rankings.
  • 53% of respondents across all age groups said they discover products through search engines. Only 8% said they discover new online products via “links or information on social networking sites.
  • Algorithmic changes, such as Google Instant or Real Time Results, were widely understood to make SEM drastically more unpredictable.The new Google Instant suggestion box takes much of the space at top of page 1, pushing more results down the fold, making bottom rankings and second page results less relevant. Long tail keywords will take a hit as user will click on suggestion than wait to type the complete keyword. PPCAdvertisers feared that with every suggestion the ads will change pushing up the impressions.Thus the cost may simply explode. With the Google Instant suggestions, advertisers will compete for shorter terms, which also happen to be more expensive.
  • Google assured it won’t affect ranking of search results nor will it change the way ads are served.SEOGoogle Instant guides the user with better search predictions, helpful when the user is not sure what to type to get the desired resultSaves up to 2-5 seconds per searchWhen the user keeps on typing and the desired results are not displayed, long tail keywords will deliver better conversions than beforePPCThe user clicks anywhere on the page,The user clicks the search button, presses Enter or selects a predicted query ,The user stops typing and results are displayed for minimum of 3 secondsThere is potential to improve the quality of clicks as users type such terms, that they believe would give them the desired answers
  • Clearly, neither SEM nor social media is enough. A well balanced campaign needs to be designed, keeping the immediate and long term requirements in mind. Milind will elaborate on real time search Social media complements SEOSearch engines are indexing social content faster and betterSocial media is a great content generator which keeps the search results freshSocial media helps build quality inbound links, which helps in SEO
