Building a business from the ground up is a great opportunity to develop amazing content, disrupt, and embrace effective SEO.
But what about established organisations - those with entrenched processes, legal teams, departmentalisation and small marketing teams? In the real world, large businesses don't change direction quickly or easily. Many organisations struggle to develop content strategies, implement technical changes, and embrace modern, integrated, effective SEO not because they don't want to or don't understand the opportunity, but because they can't. It's too big. Too complex. Too hard.
So, as a consultant or in-house practitioner, how do you effect change and move the needle?
We explore some practical, tactical hacks for getting things done in a world which struggles to live up to our expectations.
Getting Around Finance - Keyword Research & TaggingJono Alderson
In order to win in competitive markets like finance, you need to understand the market, your audience, and the opportunities. You can only do this from an orbital view of keywords, language and behaviour - and to then zoom in to specific niches and areas of focus.
Stop thinking about 'keywords', and start thinking about keyword 'families' - groups of contextually related phrases which indicate similar need groups; from synonym phrases through to simple typos, there's a world of insight you're missing out on.
Understand who your visitors are, what happens after they convert, what they do in the future, and how much money they make you - and use this to influence your keyword research, strategies and tactics.

Jono will myth-bust performance issues and security worries; demonstrate the ultimate performance combination of hosting configurations, plugin combinations and technical SEO; and give you the tools you need to outperform the competition
Consumer search behaviour is complex.
You perform multiple searches on multiple devices over multiple days; where everything you see and experience, in the SERPs and beyond, influences your brand preference and purchase decisions.
Traditional funnel analysis and marketing models do a poor job of measuring and managing this ecosystem.
We need to re-think the way we talk about, measure and manage SEO if we want bigger budgets, integrated strategies, and to win big - and we need to move fast; some of the world's biggest companies are already beating us to it.
How To Develop Value Propositions, for CIOsWalter Adamson
CIO Business Innovation Series. Paul DiModica, author of the book “Sell Technology: Technology Sales Is a Premeditated Sport”, talks about technology salesmen:
Q: What are the top mistakes people make when selling technology? Well, first of all, most of them come to sell instead of listen. They're not prepared, and they tend to shoot from the hip. Secondly, they don't know what they're selling.
Q: They don't understand their product? No, it's deeper than that. They don't understand the value of what they're selling and, consequently, can't explain its value. And thirdly, they sell technology instead of a solution.
If your IT leadership team is having the same problems, then you are not alone.
Learn how to solve the problem.
We need to create a shared understanding of what problems we are trying to solve, what strategic choices we are trying to make, and what questions we are trying to answer before we can choose what tools, frameworks, and methods are more practical to facilitate the discussions required to answer these questions.

What happens when everybody's website is fixed Jono Alderson
For many of us, a big part of our job is essentially to fix or improve things. We seek out marginal, incremental gains to make our platforms, brands and performance 'good enough', or at least, 'less bad than our competitors'. What happens when all of this is no longer necessary? When everybody's website, app or software is perfect? Few of our brands are equipped to compete - or even to survive - in this new world. We need a radically different way of thinking, and for many, it may already be too late.
Slow sites frustrate consumers. Frustration costs money. To delight consumers, beat competitors, and to please Google, your site will need to load in under a second. Web performance is no longer an art, but a science. You have 600 milliseconds; how will you spend them?
How much time and money do we collectively burn by fixing the same kinds of basic, "binary," well-defined things over and over again (e.g., meta tags, 404s, URLs, etc), when we could be teaching others throughout our organizations not to break them in the first place?
As long as we "own" technical SEO, there's no reason (for example) for the average developer to learn it or care — so they keep making the same mistakes. We proclaim that others are doing things wrong, but by doing so we only reinforce the line between our skills and theirs. We need to start giving away bits of the SEO discipline, and technical SEO is the easiest piece for us to stop owning.
It's time for more democratization, education, collaboration, and investment in open-source projects so we can fix things once, rather than a million times.
(How to) stop pretending that you're customer-centricJono Alderson
The world has changed. Users demand exceptional brand experiences. Google rewards good experiences and customer-centric thinking. Surviving means putting the consumer first.
But your CEO doesn't give a damn about user experience. Your marketing manager only obsesses about conversion rate and revenue. Your channel teams are judged on visitor volumes and acquisition costs. Your organisation runs on dashboards which ask, "How many people did we get to the website? How many of them did the thing we want them to do?" You're the opposite of customer-centric - and all of the feel-good, aspirational Instagram content and Facebook video you produce doesn't change a thing.
It's time to change the way we think about success for brands, content, and marketing. It's time to help users do what they want to do - and to make a ton of money in the process.

Product Marketing by Numbers - Objectives, Goals and KPI frameworksJono Alderson
Product management should be data driven, consumer-centric, and informed by deep insights derived from tracking and analysing user behaviour at scale.
But this can only happen if you use a framework; if you've defined what 'good' looks like before you start implementing tracking and collecting data points.
I explore a couple of frameworks - including my own hybrid model - and share processes which overcome analysis paralysis and enable truly data-driven product development.
Technical SEO is easy. Making recommendations on site structures, opportunities and technical initiatives is pretty straightforward. But the psychology, politics and processes around delivering a actions which are understood, bought into, and acted upon, is much harder. Here's the fix.
A deconstruction of the challenges faced in the process of effective keyword research, ideas for some of the reasons why these problems occur, and some suggestions around new ways of thinking, planning, researching, categorizing and managing keywords - all in order to enable effective tactical decision making and strategic focus.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
