Recent Posts Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! 26th July 2013 2:55 PM From Bing themselves: Stats for UK: Unique searchers: 20.5M and 407M monthly searches using Bing network 5.1% search share, 4M unique searchers not using Google. Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! 25th July 2013 12:22 PM “Data wise is GA Source traffic for our UK Directory (non mobile). Interestingly, our UK Directory mobile site shows a different picture which I hadn't noticed till now: Yahoo currently 20.6% up from 8.6% in April, with Bing a lowly 1.39% but up from 0.6%. Google is currently 77.9% but down from 90.64%.” This data is the ACTUAL traffic to your website server Steve? Not the actual % of global searches on the respective search engines? So therefore reflects your relative rankings in those engines? (making sense??) Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! 25th July 2013 11:18 AM “I've been saying it quite a lot recently, but don't you think there is currently an amazing opportunity, as web designers, site owners and even end users start getting disillusioned. Bing or Yahoo should be charging through with a slick marketing campaign, wooing us all over, and start grabbing market share. Instead where are they? Radio silent  ”Totally agree yet again Steve. There is a gaping hole in the search market. “The only way Google is going to reign in it's aggressive update policy and this shift to Google only utopian SERPs is to have some serious competition. But when is it going to happen? How much will people take before they start voting with their mice?” You must be bored with my "I totally agree Steve" !!!! “Bing seems to be slowly on the rise, looking at our UK stats, currently 9.4% of our traffic, versus 6.3% back in April. Yahoo is 4.4% up from 2.7%. But this still only scratches the surface compared to Google...” Can I ask which data you are using? I'd be very interested in studying further. Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! 25th July 2013 12:15 AM Fair points Steve. Structured markup - I have largely ignored (not totally) for the time being - not least to spend much more time focusing on Blogging/Bing/Bing Ads/Adwords/Twitter/Facebook/Facebook Ads. And the core point remains - how many organic positions now exist above the fold and what are the chances of getting it/them, and will it still get clicked after the plethora of other Google Ads? The odds to not suggest spending too much time on organic listings. And while I'm on the subject - all this Panda and Penguin is supposed to be about 'improving search'. What utter nonsense. The quality of SERPS has been appalling since the beginning of 2012. After working with Search for 14 years, The Search World has changed forever - yet again. Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! 24th July 2013 6:43 PM Getting to page one of Google is becoming almost irrelevant! Most Google search pages are now dominated by Google Advertising of various types. In fact, it is very often impossible to see a non-local organic listing above the fold. SEO is not dead. But organic traffic has declined and will continue to do so - Google Panda & Penguin? - SEO is not dead. But organic traffic has declined and will continue to do so.

Google Ordered To Change Its Privacy Policy In UK | Enforcement by 20th Sept? 5th July 2013 2:12 PM I agree thelegalstop. It's remarkable how Google has moved in many people's minds from a "friendly colleague" to the "unreasonable bully" - in such a short period of time. Google Ordered To Change Its Privacy Policy In UK | Enforcement by 20th Sept? 5th July 2013 1:10 PM Google Ordered To Change Its Privacy Policy In UK | Enforcement by 20th Sept? The Google Privacy Policy introduced by the company in March 2012 must change - so says The UK Information Commissioners Office. Italy, Germany, France, UK - are all lining up to take Google on over their Privacy Policy. Google Ordered To Change Its Privacy Policy In UK | Enforcement by 20th Sept? - Is Romance Dead? 4th July 2013 10:44 AM Is Romance Dead? A middle-aged couple had finally learned how to send and receive texts on their cell phones. The wife, being a romantic at heart, decided one day that she'd send her husband a text while she was out of the house having coffee with a friend. She texted: If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you. The husband, being a no-nonsense sort of guy, texted back: I'm on the toilet. Please advise. (Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?) |
