Difference between search network and display network?

Search Network
A group of search-related websites where your ads can appear.

Websites include Google search sites and non-Google search sites (like AOL) that partner with Google to show search ads, called search partners.

When you advertise on the Search Network, your ad can show next to search results when someone searches with terms related to one of your keywords.

The Search Network is part of the Google Network, our name for all the webpages and apps where AdWords ads can appear.

 Display Network

•  Create all types of ads - text, image, interactive and video ads.
•  Place those ads on websites that are relevant to what you’re selling
•  Show those ads to the people that are likely to be most interested.
•  Manage and track your budget, campaigns and results as you go.

what is contextual targeting

Contextual Targeting is based on content targeting.

The ads are selected and served by automated systems based on the relevancy of the content of the specific website.Contextual Advertising also helps improve thecontextual_ads_sample users’ overall online experience because they will only see ads relevant to the content on the website. It can maximize the earning potentials of both advertisers and publishers as the ads are more targeted to what the users are searching for and thus the ads are more likely to get clicked.

Contextual Advertising displays your ads and targets potential customers at the precise moment they are anticipating the purchase of a product or service just like yours.
With the increase in the complexity of targeting ads towards users who have higher chances to be interested in the ad, Contextual Targeting offers a rather ideal way of attracting the right audience.

Contextual Targeting ensures advertisers that the most relevant ads are delivered to the right audience at the right time to significantly increase their return on investment.
Contextual Advertising in its simplest form means to place your advertising banner on a web site that has similar content.

The reason behind contextual targeting with banner ads is that it is assumed that if there is a web site that is addressing a specific subject and you place a banner ad on that web site for a product that also addresses that subject then the readers of that web site are more likely to click on your ad and find out about your product or service.

It is defined simply as “the amount spent to get an advertisement clicked.”

Social media marketing

Social media marketing (SMM) is a form of Internet marketing that utilizes social networking websites as a marketing tool. The goal of SMM is to produce content that users will share with their social network to help a company increase brand exposure and broaden customer reach.

One of the key components of SMM is social media optimization (SMO). Like search engine optimization (SEO), SMO is a strategy for drawing new and unique visitors to a website. SMO can be done two ways: adding social media links to content, such as RSS feeds and sharing buttons -- or promoting activity through social media by updating statuses or tweets, or blog posts.

SMM helps a company get direct feedback from customers (and potential customers) while making the company seem more personable. The interactive parts of social media give customers the opportunity to ask questions or voice complaints and feel they are being heard. This aspect of SMM is called social customer relationship management  (social CRM).

SMM became more common with the increased popularity of websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, and YouTube. In response, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has updated its rules to include SMM. If a company or its advertising agency provides a blogger or other online commenter with free products or other incentives to generate positive buzz for a product, the online comments will be treated legally as endorsements. Both the blogger and the company will be held responsible for ensuring that the incentives are clearly and conspicuously disclosed, and that the blogger's posts contain no misleading or unsubstantiated statements and otherwise complies with the FTC's rules concerning unfair or deceptive advertising.

Black Hat and Gray Hat Seo Tactics?

Black Hat Seo Tactics

Keyword stuffing

Overusing keywords in comment tags, alt tags, and meta tags

Doorway or gateway pages

Link farms: pages with unrelated links solely for the purpose of creating more links to target pages

Spamming forums, blogs, and other social media sites with links (search engines might not penalize sites for this, but it's considered unethical)

Cloaking: Presenting different information to the search engines through Meta tags/descriptions.

Hidden Text: When text/keywords are the same color as the background. Search engines see it; readers do not.

Gray hat SEO Tactics

Having a keyword density that's high enough to sound unnatural but not at the level of black hat keyword stuffing

Publishing duplicate content at different sites

Link building where relevance is less important

Planned three-way linking
Using paid links

Automated Social Media: Some websites send users an automatic message when connecting via social media. Although search engines will not dock a company for this, it’s considered more annoying than anything.

Cloaking is a Black Hat SEO Technique and its very harmful for website.

Cloaking is a Black Hat SEO Technique and its very harmful for website.

Cloaking is a SEO tactics in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's web browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different website pages version, one that contains content not present on the visible page, or that is present but not searchable. The motive of cloaking is sometimes to deceive search engines so they display. 

The Main Aim and Motive of Using Cloaking Technique

Websites Based on Flash Technology

There are lots of websites that are built in flash only. As you may know, flash is not good for Search engine optimization purposes. However, companies don't want to reconstruct their websites and rewrite everything in plain HTML. So they create content rich web pages and provide them to SEs and flash pages to visitors. (Note that Google has already started indexing sites in plain flash, but many other search engines still don't)

Photo Gallery Websites
photo gallery websites obviously have more photo’s than the actual content on their pages. So, webmasters think that cloaking could help them get top placement for keywords like "photo gallery".

HTML Rich Websites
SEO Specialist suggest having less HTML code and more genuine text on your Web pages. Sometimes, source code takes 94% or 97% of the whole web page's content. In order to avoid redesigning every web page, webmasters discover a much easier solution - cloaking

How is Cloaking Actually Done?

Now you know why, it's time to find out how. A cloaking is done by modifying a file known as .htaccess. Apache server has a module called "mod_rewrite". With the help of this module in .htaccess file you can apply a cloaking technique for your website pages.
 
Webmasters gather search engines' IP addresses (231.258.476.13) or User-Agents (Google Search Engine). If mod_rewrite module detects that an IP address or user-agent belongs to a search engine, it delivers a web page that is especially designed for SEs. If IP addresses doesn’t belong to any spider, than it thinks it's a regular visitor and delivers a normal web page.

What are Doorway Pages? Should I use them in my SEO strategy?

What are Doorway Pages? Should I use them in my SEO strategy?

Doorway pages are defined as low-quality pages (or groups of pages, or entire websites) optimized to rank well for specific keywords that act as a door between users and content. Characteristically, they offer little value to visitors and serve the sole purpose of boosting SEOvalue.

                           or

Doorway pages are web pages created solely for the purpose of attracting the attention of search engine crawlers in an attempt to boost a site's ranking in the results pages of search engines. Doorway pages are sometimes used by search engine optimization firms, but in general it is recommended that you avoid using them at all costs. Since doorway pages serve no purpose except to manipulate the search engine rankings, many engines will actually penalize you if they discover that you are using them.

Doorway pages cannot actually be navigated to through the index page of the website they represent. Rather, doorway pages are intended only to be visible when you search for keywords through a search engine. These doorway pages will have no actual value for the user however, and will only act as click through pages to get to the actual site they are meant to represent.

Nowadays, doorway pages have also become quite ineffective. When they find doorway pages through a search engine, rather than click through, most users will simply opt to go back and find another page through their search results.

So why do SEO marketing firms and SEO "experts" use doorway pages? As you would expect, some search engine marketing firms are much better than others. Often times, less quality SEO firms will rely on automated programs to build sites for their clients, and these often include doorway pages as part of the website structure. These are poor forms of SEO tools, and should be avoided. Other times doorway pages will be used as a way to market sites comprised of lots of Javascript or Flash to the search engines. Again, this is a bad practice.

Overhauling your content, building up inbound links or finding alternate ways to externalize Javascript and Flash are in the end much more effective than using doorway pages.

What is Link Bait?Types of Link Bait?Specific Examples of Linkable Assets?

What is Link Bait?

Link bait is content on your website that other sites link to because they want to, not because you ask them to.

Whether it’s an evergreen blog post, a helpful eBook, or a viral video, the linkable asset comes in many forms. Let’s take a look at the types and a few examples of link bait and discuss how proactive content marketing can help your website garner more links. Shall we?

DISCLAIMER: We’ve had this information published on our site for quite some time and it was due for an update. Although this is not a groundbreaking post, its significant impact on the success of your SEO strategy stands.

Types of Link Bait

Great content always serves as link bait. This is important to remember. When creating a blog post or revising copy on top-level pages, think about whether or not the content is link-worthy. Had you come across it in your daily perusal of the web, would you be likely to link to or share it with friends via social media?

Remember that while a social share doesn’t carry the same weight as an anchored link, it does get your content in front of more eyes. After all, users can only link to your content if they’ve discovered it.

There is no sure-fire formula for creating great content that your visitors will see as linkable. For example you could spend hours writing a helpful and informative blog post, but acquire no links from it. Meanwhile, your competitor posted a picture of a cute cat that fetched 24 links in a day. Ultimately, link bait is an attention grabber.

The goal is to engage your audience so much so that they can’t help but tell everyone about what they’ve just seen. This might be a unique insight on a hot topic, an attractive display of useful information, or just a video of a funny cat. The key is in knowing your audience.


Breaking news is the link bait of timeliness. When writing an article in reference to a particular event, product release, or software update, it’s highly likely that you’ll link to relevant news articles that support the information you’re dictating. For instance, if we’re covering the release of a new iPhone we’ll seek out timely resources (and link to them) to provide users with additional material to reference. This sort of supportive linking happens all the time. Essentially, if you are the source or purveyor of timely content chances are that you’ll get links!

Social sharing plays an important role when creating timely content to gain links. It’s rare for a popular event or topic to stay relevant, so getting your link bait in front of your audience while they still care is vital. The news cycle is fast and furious and the window of opportunity to engage users is brief. Getting involved in the conversation happening over trending topics on Twitter or Facebook is the most effective way to capture an audience.


Timeless content is lasting link bait. While timely content is in most cases ephemerally valuable, we’re not going to be covering the release of the iPhone 6 years down the road. Timeless content, or evergreen content, has lasting value. Whether it’s a piece that’s timeless in nature like an eBook on the fundamentals of Regular Expressions, or something that’s frequently updated like Moz’s search algorithm update history, always-relevant content is always link-worthy.

During the brainstorming phase of the creation of evergreen content, there are many qualifiers to consider before selecting an idea to pursue. Ask yourself these questions:

• Are people searching for this? (Google AdWords Keyword Planner)
• Is this a topic that is growing in popularity? (Google Trends)
• How likely is it that this content will be obsolete in a year?
• If this idea has already been materialized on the web, can I do it better?

Specific Examples of Linkable Assets

Widgets and gadgets make great link bait in that they provide a great deal of use and value to others on the web. There are countless examples of these sorts of things generating hundreds and of links in a relatively short span of time, and thousands in the long-run. Examples include:

• Industry-specific calculators (e.g., a energy-efficiency calculator for home buyers)
• Embeddable sidebar widgets (e.g., a feed of upcoming events in your industry)
• Daily deals widgets (e.g., Groupon’s embeddable deal widget for referrers)

There are countless others as well. Remember, simply creating a widget won’t suffice. The challenge is to come up with something that provides real value to other websites’ users. If the widget you create is only useful for yourusers, or worse yet not useful at all, you can’t expect it to attract many embeds (links). Quality is key!


Quizzes and games are another great link baiting avenue to explore. While you have to be careful with your implementation, this is a strategy that can yield massive returns. One popular methodology (made infamous by the Oatmeal) is rewarding quiz takers with an embeddable “badge” that displays their quiz results and also links back to your website. Creativity goes a long way here. Given that this is a method that is largely played out, you’ll have to consider different ways that you can add a unique twist. Originality is everything.

This is a fun quiz built with PlayBuzz for people in the industry to waste a little time on a Friday afternoon. It’s targeted to a niche audience that will appreciate and enjoy the quiz, increasing the chances that they’ll share the quiz and their results with their hyper-relevant network. Speaking of that, which search engine are you?

Images and infographics attract references and links from many industry publication links and social shares. Time and time again, we’ve seen that, for a visual learner, an image can be worth well over a thousand words.
While SEO for images is an animal in and of itself, utilizing your images and infographics to attract links is something that merits your concentration. It’s quite easy to find a designer who can craft a good-looking infographic, or use an infographic tool like Piktochart to create your own. What’s difficult is making that infographic truly unique and compelling. The infographic is all too often used to convey a message that might’ve been clearer if written. It is important that, before creating a visual, you consider whether or not the information in that visual is best presented graphically. If not, you probably don’t have a good case for an infographic.



Whitepapers and eBooks, along with other downloadable resources, can make great link bait as well. In providing members of your industry with a valuable resource, you’re also providing them with something that they’re likely to share with their community. This is the definition of ‘linkable asset.’

This is Robbin’s (Owner and CEO of LunaMetrics) renowned Regular Expressions eBook, on which LunaMetrics built its brand many years ago. When your goal is to create content that will have lasting value, it’s essential that ample time and effort are dedicated to the quality of the finished product.

Video content can also be an incredibly effective means through which to attract links. Think about how many times you’ve linked to or shared a YouTube video. The viral nature of this type of content is what makes it extremely valuable. While links to your YouTube video are valuable, links to your web page (with the same YouTube video embedded) are even more valuable. Always embed, and the links will come!

Contests, especially ones that feature user-generated content, provide users with great incentive to link to your page. Your audience is invested simply because they want to win. If the winner is chosen by accumulating votes, entrants are compelled to share and link to your contest’s page. Never doubt the power of competition! If you have more than one winner, follow The Oatmeal’s lead by creating badges that your winners can embed on their site, linking back to the contest results page.
Instating a branded scholarship, even if only worth $500, is an excellent contest idea. If you plan to award it annually, the scholarship also acts as evergreen content. The added bonus is that universities are always looking for scholarships to link to as a financial resource for their students. Generally speaking, sites on a “.edu” domain are highly trusted and their links are coveted.

Marketing Your Link Bait

You might be thinking, “Wait, link bait is all about obtaining natural links, right? Why do I need to think about marketing my linkable assets? Won’t people just link to them?”
Sadly, the answer is no.

Marketing your link bait is essential to its success, in fact. Whether it’s sharing your content via the appropriate channels, planting your links in the right message boards, or even creating a press release, the initial steps you take play a pivotal role in the discovery and rise of your content.

Think about your favorite viral YouTube videos or Internet memes. Would they have been such earth-shattering hits had they been simply published on an individual’s blog or a semi-frequented message board and left dormant? Doubtful. The lesson is to put your best content will others will find it.

Often times, this might mean publishing to your own blog or website, and then sharing via other outlets – like Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. Ensure that your social post is as attractive as possible. Take advantage of preview images, twitter cards, GIFs, and other forms of media and social features. If your intent is to attract links, it is very important that the content exists on your website. However, the act of ‘link baiting’ doesn’t preclude you from sharing! Why waste all that time creating something great if you can’t even share it?

But remember, success begets success in link baiting. As you build an audience that anticipates great content, marketing your link bait gets much easier.

Putting It All Together

So, what is link bait? It’s anything and everything that you create that garners links for your website. Remember, you’re not necessarily creating awesome content to generate links. You’re creating great content because that’s what industry thought leaders do. If you’re truly creating something great and marketing it effectively, the links will undoubtedly come. With great content comes great links – or something to that effect.

How to optimize images for on-page SEO?

Tutorial Objectives:

•How to optimize images for on-page SEO

As everyone knows, images, flash, banners can’t be read by Google bots and search engine crawlers – only textual content.
However, images have something special known as “alt text”, which is the default text displayed should there be a reason the image cannot be seen.
Google can read these image alt texts, so we’d always have to put in relevant and meaningful descriptions for these images.

Inserting the Image into a post:

So most WordPress users should already be veterans at inserting images, but we’ll quickly show how it’s done here.
Step 1: Add Media (show screenshot, highlight button)
Step 2: Upload an image from computer (show screenshot)
Step 3: Select Image and fill in title, caption, alt text and description
The title, caption, and description are read by users, but for optimum SEO for Google, make sure the alt text is filled in appropriately and includes a keyword.

In the above example, the image used is meant to promote SEOPressor, and the keyword being ranked is SEOPressor.
As you can see, using images to boost on-page SEO is extremely easy and effective.

What is and how to use LSI keywords

Tutorial Objectives:

• What is and how to use LSI keywords

what is LSI keywords:

LSI keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing) are basically keywords that are semantically related to your primary keyword. Contrary to popular belief, they are NOT just synonym or keywords that are similar in meaning

LSI keywords:

These are essentially keywords related to the keywords that you are searching for, and Google does this by using a system known as LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). In a nutshell, it is based on user search patterns and behavior, how one keyword search is usually linked to another keyword search.
Google has confirmed that by using more LSI keywords, your page typically ranks better, and this makes sense because people are searching for the same keyword in various ways – but your page seems to include all the other relevant, related indexing by Latent Semantic Analysis.

To insert LSI keywords, click on the “Content” tab to see the LSI recommendations and use the drop down menu to see which keyword you need recommendations for. In this case, we can see that the keywords being used here are “LSI Keywords” and “Keyword density”.So, all you have to do then is choose the appropriate ones and put it in where it makes the most senseso when you refresh the analysis, you’ll instantly see a green check and a boost in SEO score.

This process should be quite intuitive and just like any keyword, they shouldn’t be randomly stuffed into the article.
Remember that content creation is always first priority in providing value for users; then only do we provide value for search engines.
A safe and recommended number would be 1-2 LSI keywords per SEOPressor keyword.

Panda&Penguin&Hummingbird Algorithms:

what is hummingbird algorithm?How Hummingbird Affects SE

Google has always been geared towards bringing end users the most accurate and most relevant information in the shortest time possible. On Google’s 15th anniversary, the search giant announced the release of yet another algorithm update. This is surely good news for students who are constantly required to do Internet research, but what does it mean for the SEOs? What are its implications to the industry? What is this new algorithm exactly? And how is it different from the last update?

What is Hummingbird?

The Hummingbird is an entirely new algorithm. It approaches search engine queries in a brand new and intelligent way utilizing new technology combined with older features of the existing algorithms. It is named for the speed and accuracy of the tiny bird.

Google Hummingbird

The name of Google’s new search algorithm is called “Hummingbird”. Derived from being “precise and fast”, it’s been the biggest change in Google’s search algorithm since the Caffeine update in 2010.

There were also some major changes before like Penguin and Panda, but what sets Hummingbird apart from them is that two previous ones were just changes done to some parts of the old algorithm, while Hummingbird is an entire replacement of the old one.

One of the new search activities Google features is “Conversational Search”, which is meant for smart phone users who may find having conversations more convenient when doing research.

For example, you could ask, “What’s the nearest taco store from my home?” The traditional search engine will most probably focus on finding matches for your keywords like “taco” or “store”, and then lead you to a website owned by a restaurant that sells tacos but may not be necessarily close to your home.

Hummingbird makes Google almost human with the way it responds to queries. Instead of looking at keywords, Hummingbird makes Google look deeper and focus on the whole statement or question.

In relation to the example above, the new update helps the search engine understand that you’re looking for a physical store near your area of residence that sells tacos, provided that you use the Google domain based in your country.

In a nutshell, Google responds to whole statements and questions in a way similar to how a human being would by looking at the query as a whole, and not segmenting its keywords. This then makes the results to match the query better since it looks for concepts, not words.

How Hummingbird Affects SEO

SEOs have long dreaded Google’s updates since they believe that these would mess with the ranks they’ve worked so hard for.

But Google said that as long as you have been following their age-old rule to make original and high quality content, then there’s nothing really to worry about since the Hummingbird was just meant to process information in a different way.

In a recent blog post, Krystian Włodarczyk suggests that Google is intent on reducing the importance of keywords. What will always matter is the quality of the content that an author produces. Hence, the new algorithm only has massive effect on those sites which use dirty tactics in order to achieve their ends.

Although SEO’s purpose is to get traffic, it’s not about manipulating search engines in devious ways, sending out spams, or killing web design. It’s all about making quality content that’s friendly with search engines and people alike, in a way that both would have legitimate reasons to rank it high and share it.

what is anchor text in seo

what is anchor text in seo

Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink. SEO best practices dictate that anchor text be relevant to the page you're linking to, rather than generic text. The blue, underlined anchor text is the most common as it is the web standard, although it is possible to change the color and underlining through html code.

How the Anchor Tag Works

The anchor tag is essentially a tag that you can attach to a word or a phrase (exactly like you would a normal internal or external link), except it brings readers down to a different section of the page as opposed to another webpage. You’re essentially creating a unique URL within the same page when you use this tag. Consider the following example:

If you click on any of the headings in the “contents” box, it will jump you right down to that section without you ever having to leave the page or scroll down to find it.

The Benefits of Using the Anchor Tag

There are really three main benefits when it comes to using the anchor tag:
No Scrolling. The biggest benefit to the anchor tag is not forcing your visitors to scroll down tons of information to find a particular section. This can get daunting, and depending on just how much content is on the page, it can be very difficult to find a certain section amidst all the content.
Organization. This helps webmasters keep things in order. Instead of having to create several different webpages or splitting up a document, you can keep it all in one place.

Search Engine Use. Google sometimes uses this tag to help send a user to a specific section of your webpage, which helps make things easier for users

How to Get Started Using the Anchor Tag

Fortunately, using the anchor tag is actually very simple. It’s all about using a series of different HTML codes which might remind you of the normal HTML linking tag you’re used to using. The steps are as follows:

1.Open your text editor and figure out where you want to insert the name anchor tag. You can do this anywhere—a heading (most common), a word, a phrase, etc.

2.Insert the anchor tag around the text you’re going to link (the same way you would any type of link). The code looks like this:

<a name=”title of the section”></a>

1.Once you have created the anchor tag around the word, phrase, or heading that you would like, you will want to link to this URL in your content. The tag is similar to the coding you’re used to, except it is preceded by a # sign. You should open the HTML version 
of your content and insert the following tag:

<a href=”#title of the section”>text</a>


The anchor tag isn’t quite as popular as many other types of linking and is easy to miss if you’re a startup, but it’s a great way to help keep things easy for your visitor. It’s easy to implement and it’s never too late to get started.

Understand DoFollow & Nofollow Link: SEO Basics

Understand DoFollow & Nofollow Link: SEO Basics

Whenever we talk about search engine optimization, some of the common words are noindex, doindex, nofollow, dofollow, meta robots and so on. All the words hold equal importance in the book of SEO. In this post I will be explaining about Nofollow and Dofollow. Specially for newbies who are new to SEO or people who are still not clear about Nofollow or dofollow, this post will be useful.

Did You Know?

Nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines bots that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring in the first place. This is a concept introduced by Matt Cutts and Jason Shellen in the year 2005.

What Is The Difference between NoFollow & Dofollow

Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow link.That means if the website owner is linking back to you with nofollow attributes, it does not pass on link juice. Only Humans will be able to follow the links. Though some time back Google made it clear that they don’t consider nofollow link attributes but weightage of such links are really less. Even though, it’s a good practice to use Nofollow link attribute to those link, where you don’t want to pass link-juice.

Example of Nofollow Link:

<a href=”http://www.google.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Google</a>

Read: WordPress plugin to add Nofollow tag attribute
How to add Nofollow tag to a link

Dofollow links allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach our website. Giving us link juice and a backlink. If a webmaster is linking back to you with this link both Search Engine and Humans will be able to follow you. The best way to give someone dofollow love is allowing keyword in the anchor text. This means when you are linking to any website or page, use the targeted keyword as anchor text.

Example of Dofollow Link:

<a href=”http://www.google.com/”>Google</a>

Note: By default all the hyperlinks are dofollow. So, you don’t need to do anything to make a link do-follow.

Important Notice:-

Recently Google have said that they will still count the nofollow link as an outgoing link in terms of the distribution of page rank from your page. Though again it also depends on where that nofollow link is places. Placing a nofollow link at the bottom of the page has least impact, and when placed at the top of the page, it carries some impact.

Types Of No-Follow

Robots Meta Tag : <meta name=”robots” content=”nofollow” />
This tells bots/crawlers/spiders not to follow links on the full page.

Link Attribute : <a href=”http://www.google.com” rel=”nofollow”>
This tells search engines not to count the link in terms of ranking pages.

 Quick Tip:

 Try to keep noindex attribute for pages like contact and nofollow  attribute for affiliate links on your blog posts. If you are  linking to any spam website for any reason, use the nofollow link    attribute...
