Craving Good Campaign Management?

March 30th, 2010

Does Your Organization Have A Proven SEO Campaign Management Solution?

By my rough estimate, there are about 3200 SEO agencies in the US market, and more are cropping up daily.

SEO spending is expected to at least double from 13 billion in 2008 to 26 billion by 2013. Local agencies are trying to meet the demands of their markets and selling  services like mad. This is all well and good.

Does your organization have a consistent method for managing SEO campaigns? If so, are new employees trained on this same method? Does management have a way to centrally follow the progress of any one SEO campaign? Is management also able to track employee performance?

At Boostability, we are learning more and more that most SEO agencies are not using a centralized SEO campaign management application. Rather, the  spectrum swings towards the in-house, decentralized method.  One of the primary reasons we entered this market space was to provide a solution to the issues your agency may be facing.  If the in-house approach has been effective to a point but is now losing ground or becoming out dated, consider what Boostability has to offer.

Our team has developed a first-rate online campaign management tool that can by used by the SEO analyst staff for SEO work-flow fulfillment activities and by the management team for tracking overall campaign performance. 

There is no limit to the amount of campaigns a single analyst can maintain. The system also accepts multiple analysts working their many campaigns, respectively.  

It seems every manager loves reviewing reports and looking at dashboards to measure performance.  Boostability’s  system will provide the manager the tools necessary for following the progress of the SEO analysts working on their campaigns. How much time did the analyst spend on each campaign? How many SEO tasks were completed?

As every organization deals with employee transition, a history of campaign SEO work is preserved and new SEO work-flow tasks for the same campaign can easily be fulfilled by a replacement analyst. None of the work is lost and the hand-off is smooth.

Is your organization ready for SEO campaign management technology? We’d love it if you checked out what we have to offer.

Links, Links, and More Links, But The Right Kinds of Links

March 14th, 2010

Boostability’s DIY SEO Tools Walks Users Through an Effective Linking Process

Before there was Google, there was HotBot. Before HotBot there was Alta Vista.  Before that? I don’t really know but that’s okay. This post is not a history lesson in the birth and development of Internet search engines.  What I do wish to write about is how link building has influenced a website’s popularity for as long as there has been an Internet search engine.   

A local business that maintains a website to draw customers can benefit greatly by having many links pointing to its site. Why is this important? The most obvious reason is that new customers discover you by following the links that lead to your site.  Another important reason for having these links is that search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask refer to them as a measure in determining your site’s relevance.

If your website has strong relevance it’s bound to positively influence its page rank and that’s where you see the results you want to, i.e. your website link near the top of an organic search results index.

If you’re like me, I barely make it past page 3 when searching for a service on the Internet. Everyone wants to show up at the top but a lot of work needs to be done to get your site there. This is why SEO spending is so huge. Companies, including local businesses, often pay Internet marketing agencies to conduct back linking activities to help yield top page results.

Newcomers to Intenet marketing practices need to know that  linking (AKA back-linking) is not science. No special degrees are required to do the work. If you’re a small business owner, have a website, a little time, and a tight budget, you can do this yourself. The only hard part is figuring out where to post your URL. Finding the right locations on the Internet can be cumbersome. The trick is finding articles, blogs, DIGGs, Tweets, and Yahoo Q&A that relate to your business and then adding an appropriate comment with your link. The comment you write is most effective when it includes keywords that are associated to content on your site. 

What may be frustrating is that the software Internet search tools (like Google) use to rank your site is not forgiving. If you post 50 links one month and none the next it won’t help you in your climb to get to the top.  Now you’re thinking, “Hey, it’s not rocket science but it looks like it will take a good chunk of my time and I have an actual business to run. Forget it.” Before you cut and run, know that Boostability is in the business of making back linking easy.

We’ve eliminated all the guess work. Our DIY SEO tools, including the back linking component, have been designed to arm you with what you need to successfully run an SEO campaign, including effective back linking. Our developers have constructed a system that will automatically generate connections to relevant locations where you can post your link. The tool will even guide you in inserting comments with appropriate keywords.

Utilizing our web-based software can make monthly, consistent back linking a concievable, ongoing practice.  The result can ultimately lead to  your page landing near the top of the search results list.
