Editor's Notes
- Competitor Backlink Data
- No one really knows.
- What does this mobile stuff mean for your SEO strategy? It means that everyone is carrying around, instant access to your brand. Anytime, anywhere. As a 2014 digital marketer there is an opportunity to think differently than your competitors about…
- 106 years ago… We know that It is important to realize that mobile’s relevance has actually increased, even if the excitement around it has dipped.
- According to the most recent estimates of global mobile devices penetration from GSM Association and to global population growth forecast, we estimate that the number of mobile devices in the world oficially exceeded the global population of 7.2 bliion people during the first week of October 2014. The number of mobile devices is now trending toward 10 billion by 2018.
- Experimentation is important in digital marketing and I encourage all of you to set aside a small part of your budgets for experimentation. Adobe Econsultancy… In which areas are you going to be experimenting most heavily in 2015. These are essentially the topics that form this presentation.
- SEO is not dead… not by any stretch of the imagination… bu the way we do it has change eConsultancy… SEMPO State of Search 54% of search marketers are integrating their rmobile marking with their seo
- gShift’s roots are SEO, when I founded the company in 2009, we immediately started using the term Web Presence Optimization because we knew Social and Content would ultimately become an intimate part of the SEO process. Fast forward 5 years… we had no idea it would become so true. The search engines… and yes, primarily Google have caused a massive shift in how your customers discover your brand. A massive shift for marketers. Changes such as Hummingbird, 100% keyword encryption, Social signals, Authorship all spell out that we have to be less tactical in our digital marketing efforts and more strategic. I’m ok with that. Google has put an end to poor marketing practices and quick wins and is now rewarding strong integrated owned and earned marketing strategies. And that’s ok…
- To gauge marketer sentiment and gather opinions on this significant change, gShift conducted a survey of more than 275 digital marketers across a variety of industries including retail, travel and automotive. We ran this survey between March 25 – April 2 and more than 65 percent of participants were senior level decisions makers with titles ranging from director to CMO.
- 293 – 70% think their site is mobile friendly. Well that’s good! And so we checked, and some who answered yes, were wrong. Not all, but some. And so the key message here is… please test! And it’s not There’s a difference between mobile friendly or responsive compared to mobile ready. Google webmaster tools… It may pass Google’s mobile friendliness algorithm change but the conversion rate may suck. Check out this site. It’s mine, it’s ours… now this is what it looks like on a bb….
- 11 to 50% of traffic is coming from mobile. About 10% said very little – less than 10% comes from mobile About 35% said between 11 and 25% come from mobile and the same said between 26 and 50% comes from mobile 5% were uncertain. This was actually encouraging. Now things to think about. This number will grow. And when you consider mobile are you considering hand helds and tablets or just handhelds?
- 78% were award of the algorithm update… What are you doing about it?
- 50% said yes. Almost 30% were uncertain.
- 65% are factoring mobile strategies for SEO and content marketing. Don’t wait and see.
- According to a google and nielson study. 28% of online consumers watch video on their mobile devices at least once per day (Neilson). Making it the most used channel!
- 56 and 44.
