Today I published a post on my Denver SEO blog titled “Does Google Penalize Slower Websites?” Site speed is a topic that SEOs around the world have been talking about for quite some time and Google is partially to blame.

April of 2012 Matt Cutts released an article titled “Google incorporating site speed in search rankings,” and by assumption you’d be led to that site speed could delivery significant influence on rankings…

In August of 2011 Matt Cutts reappeared in a video that discussed weather or not a webmaster should disallow Googlebot from accessing slow pages and Matt, in short, mentioned that site speed penalties really only affected 1 in 1000 websites and suggested should your website not be that 1 slowest website out of 1,000 you shouldn’t worry about it, but did reiterate that fast websites lead to a great customer experience therefore you should keep speed in mind.

The SEO scene is changing and it’s changing quickly. The idea behind our new and improved resources is to offer education and insight on what really goes on ‘behind the scenes’ of practice, understand of SEO.

Free tools like Google’s Keyword Tool External offer a simplistic approach to keyword research, but when used wrong, inaccurate information can be passed down to the client, let me explain.

There is a BIG difference between phrase match, exact match and broad match and by default, Google has ‘Exact match’ selected, a mistake most amateur SEOs do when performing research.

Here’s an example – Denver Skin Treatments

The keyword “Denver Skin Treatments” has virtually no search volume so why do so many ‘SEOs’ still attack that keyword? The mythology behind keyword research is interesting, read the rest of the article here: http://www.seanhakes.com/2012/02/16/denver-skin-treatments-why-proper-keyword-research-matters/

Recent ComScore data for the month of September was released that details how much market share each major search engine has.  Google, still at the top of the list, has a whopping 65.3% of the industry, while Bing and Yahoo make up the rest.  Unlike Yahoo, Bing is continuing to offer new products and will likely capture more market share going forward.

Bing’s most competitive product on market is its “Deals” program.  The company initially introduced the program through third party mobile content and then moved forward with a retail focused product called Bing Shopping.  This program finds products on the internet and provides detailed information such as product images, pricing, description and more.  They also launched a complimentary cashback program with Bing Shopping to try to keep consumers interested.  Unfortunately, many people still prefer to use Google Shopping.

Now, as part of a new strategy, Bing is rolling out a program that sends emails on a daily basis called Bing Deals.  The program is powered by Tippr, a while label deals service that has found great success in offering deals.  The drawback that Bing may face with this new program is that anyone who uses the service must sign up using a Windows email or Facebook.  With so many mail services now available and Windows Live being the old norm, people will be required to sign up for the service through their personal Facebook account.  It is unknown at this point whether deals and products people purchase will be exposed through Facebook’s news feed.  This has caused some concern among consumers, but no data has been provided yet.

Similar to many daily deals services, Bing Deals will offer 50%-90% off for local business services.  Local businesses have began using deal services to attract new customers and to retain existing customers.  With a larger brand such as Bing, it is likely customers will have a higher response and will use the service.

Many local Denver business owners are now asking what a service like this can do for their business and how it will help them grow.  On the side of web marketing, a deals service like Bing Deals will provide more traffic to your website and ultimately, more conversions.  In turn, this will also help with a company’s search engine marketing strategy by helping with rankings.  Any Denver SEO company will recommend this service, among other marketing services.  Check out Bing Deals for your local business!

What appears to be a mini sitemap of the most popular pages associated with the site is especially startling, due to the way it pushes the rest of the first page results off of the screen. Right now, it seems like this display of results only appears when the actual name of the business is being searched for, rather than generic keywords associated with the business. If this becomes a standard way of displaying results for any given search query (from the specific to the generic) it could have a huge impact on SEO, local Internet marketing, and even web design & development. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this development.
