18. Universal Search Result
Universal search integrates information available from
other sources the engines have at its disposal with
traditional search results. These are customized based
on the search and location, and fall into 4 general
categories:
• Local (map listings)
• Shopping (comparison, currently not available in
Indonesia)
• Media (images, video)
• Alternative sources (news, blogs, real time)

19. Local Search Result
• Many factors influence the increasingly visible local results
seen in search engines:
• Proximity to location (mobile devices), proximity to center of
city (desktops)
• Google Places associated to website, with thorough data feed
to Google
• Page titles, headers, and other elements are optimized with
city/neighborhood
• Local addresses & phone numbers on site
• Site has links from other local sites
• Location “Microdata” is included in page

20. Media Result
• Image and video results are driven by presence in the engines’ image and video search, as well as availability on major video sites
like YouTube. Video is the more common of the two.
• Rankings and presence here are driven by video search rankings for the engine, which are largely driven by YouTube but can
include videos directly on a site if they are made indexable by search engines.

25. Research for Keywords & Audience

26. Keywords in Organic Search
Paid Search/ PPC
Target as many keywords per page that your little
heart desires. Only limit is MONEY
Organic Search
Limited by content, link authority, competition,
etc.
 You usually can’t target “cheap” or
misspellings
 You can’t target “paris hilton” if you sell
refrigerators
 You probably can’t rank #1 for “cars” if you if
you are a brand new site with few links (but
maybe a long-tail phrase like “used blue
SUVs in jakarta”)

27. Pay Attention to Search Volume
 Keywords are a Vicious Popularity Contest
 We have had clients that used the phrase “footwear” instead of “shoes” on their website.
 Clients usually do not think about search popularity
 Sometimes it is a branding issue that often must be fought against
Shoes
Vs.
Footwear
5,000,000
Vs.
201,000

28. Relevancy for Keywords
When it comes to your content, ranking potential for a keyword and/or set of keywords comes from
several kinds of content:
 On-page factors: Title tags, headers, body copy, other on-page copy.
 Off-page factors: Anchor text from links.
 Authority factors: How much content around the whole topic do you have to offer?

29. Targeting Keywords for Organic Search
 Beyond visibility, targeting each page to very
limited number of keywords – 1-2 primary
phrases (laptops, laptop computers).
 A few related terms (compare laptops, etc)
rather than a huge variety of keywords allows
you to have the best shot at making the most
of your site/page’s authority.

30. Indexing & Authority
Understanding How Authority Affect SEO

31. Setting Up Indexation for Search Engines
 The robots exclusion protocol (REP), or
robots.txt is a text file webmasters create
to instruct robots (typically search engine
robots) how to crawl and index pages on
their website.
 Robots.txt needs to be placed in the top-
level directory of a web server in order to
be useful. Example:
http://www.example.com/robots.txt

32. Few Examples

33. Sitemap XML
 XML file contains list of URLs for a site
along with additional data about each URL
 A well maintained XML sitemaps is key to
establishing your site as the original source
of your content
 Ensure search engine crawlers won’t miss
out on your content
 Each sitemap can have up to 50,000 URLs
and no larger than 10MB

34. Page Rank
The authority of a site is partially visible through Google’s
PageRank, a 1-10 numeric measure of the links pointed
at the site.
Having a lot of authority is important because it helps a
site rank better, and helps the rest of your site rank
better.
Update March 2016: Google removes PageRank toolbar.
http://searchengineland.com/google-has-confirmed-they-are-removing-toolbar-
pagerank-244230
What it means:
Google still uses PR data as ranking algorithm internally, but you
can no longer monitor it.

35. How to Acquire Page Rank

36. Linking
• Search engines consider a link to a page a vote for the linked text (anchor text)
• Sites usually rank #1 for their brand because most of their links contain the brand name.
• When using image, utilize the alt tag feature to implement anchor text

37. Social Signals
• Google and Bing have confirmed that social media
can impact search results.
• Articles and videos that are frequently re-posted in
Facebook &Twitter users can carry more weight in
both Web and Social Search rankings.
• “Social Authority” of the user is also a factor – the
greater the authority of the users, the more likely
that particular link will excel in web search
rankings.

56. How Duplicate Content is Created?
• URL Parameters
• Print Options
• Any Session ID
• URL Capitalizations
• WWW vs. Non-WWW
• Creating similar content

57. Fixing Duplicate Content
RE-DIRECTS CANONICAL TAG
• 301 is the only SEO-friendly type • Informs search engine of which URL should be treated as the
main authoritative URL
• <link rel=”canonical” href=”theURL”>
“TheURL” represents the standard URL for that page.
Ex. - http://BassPro.com/homepage.html would use:
<link rel=”canonical”
href=“http://www.BassPro.com/homepage.html”>

58. Content Writing for SEO
 Create great relevant content that will help your customers find exactly what they are looking for.
 Relevant, fresh and timely content will attract visitors to your website. It helps both draw traffic
from search and create audience loyalty.

60. Optimize Your Content
 Bulleted lists
 Occasional use of bold and links to
aid skimming
 Short sentence fragments
 Common words
 Use actionable verbs and phrases
