Google's AdWords' Placement Performance Report provides detailed information on where your ads have appeared in the Content Network and how they performed on each URL and Web site. While the report provides tons of great information, you need to know how to interpret the data, according to Joe, who provides tips.
For instance, SEO experts who optimize their Content Network performance to better target ads will want to remove sites that are under-performing. The Placement Performance Report provides stats at the URL level, and not just the domain, breaking down the information from each site by providing more details. - Read the whole story... SEOmoz.org Unveils Backlink Anchor Text Analyzer
SEOmozBlog
SEOmoz.org launched Monday the retooled Backlink Anchor Text Analyzer, powered by Linkscape and only available to SEOmoz.org PRO members. The new tool adds to previous functions such as anchor test distribution. The most common anchor text includes "here," "visit our blog," and "my blog," according to Nick Gerner.

Search Engine Land
The idea of wrapping several programs into a neat little package has increased in popularity since the economy began to sour. According to Debra Mastaler, more of her clients are willing to cut back on the number of link building techniques her company, Alliance Link, has been using -- but not the quality of the links secured. The volume of requests prompted her to look at ways to trim some programs without "sacrificing quality or effectiveness."
Mastaler explains how she tweaked her company's directory submission program.

The Future Buzz
A controversy brewing between link-bait generating editorial buzz, white-hat marketing/PR tactics, and "sponsored conversations" spurred from a recent Forrester Research report and articles in the press drove Adam Singer to write a long post (nearly a novella) to try and set the record straight. Sponsored blog posts and articles can tie into organic SEO strategies to raise awareness, but at what cost?
Singer summarizes the long Forrest report, stepping through what he calls "the unfortunate reality emerging" around sponsored blogs.

A "conversion efficiency tool" from Demandbase lets marketers identify site visitors and reach out to them, according to Eric Enge. He writes that while companies invest in SEO teams who design and run PPC campaigns, around 90% of the incoming traffic on B2B Web sites never convert into business or leads.
Enge explains how the tool works. He writes that it relies on a variety of databases such as ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers. "Using the IP address of the incoming visitor, ARIN can be used to determine which company (if any) that user is coming from," he writes.
Enge also lists several benefits and explains how to reach your goals. For instance, "if you have the highest conversion efficiency in your market space, you can bid your PPC campaigns up into the number one position for key terms." This lets you expand SEO efforts, and increase your display advertising spend. - Read the whole story... |
