Live Chat - Conversion Generator Or Annoying And Pushy? Sites of all kinds are adding them and in various degrees of ways.  Ultimate SEO added its live chat component but I'd call it a passive chat option.  Visitors had it available to them but the live chat didn't use any means to start a conversation.  I actually find the "active chat" intrusive and fake. No, Brian, who's picture is next to some text, "Hi there, can I help you?" I've just landing on your site, give me a minute.  It's like a shopping experience at The Buckle.  (For those of us who remember shopping for clothes at a mall). The Buckle was aggressive, they hounded you and tossed clothes at you on the way to the fitting room, regardless of how ridiculous you looked they always told you, to buy that! Live chat can be that way too.  It can ...

Someone asked me if calling out a "hacker" makes you a snitch?  I smiled and told them, being a snitch is decent.  People who don't like snitches are doing things they are ashamed of and know it.  In IT we need to be snitches a lot more and loudly. Its pretty fun being your own web host, maintaining your own cloud resources and setting up the security protocols and so forth.  We've hosted about 300 sites at various points and presently maintain 120.  All of which are internal projects and resources.  This volume creates a lab for SEO experiments and ... incidentally security lessons. I'd say the single biggest threat to a web site I've learned is inactivity.  Simply leaving it to its own devices leads to returning and finding someone else has been there..these exercises are great opportunities to learn from.  I started creating pages titled with the IP ...

TrueInfluence.com has been an Ultimate SEO client for several months now. During that time a central project has been to deliver the companies web pages in three seconds or less.TrueInfluence is a data intelligence marketing organization. IntentBase is a product of theirs and they are focused heavily in lead generation and demand generation. The TrueInfluence site scored the expected failing grade with Think Google, Pingdom and GTMetrix.com. It also failed GTMetrix in site optimization. In the end it took up to twelve seconds to load their homepage of multiple layers of graphics and animations.Predicting a company's next clients is a data driven science. They consume 60 million pieces of data a day to fuel that intent data. As a B2B lead generation provider they are in a highly competitive world but their site speed wasn't doing them any favors.It is typical though where a technology focused organization becomes hyper focused on ...

Just today I received a long email complimenting me on the site (which one I dont know) but they always conclude with a suggested mention of site xyz.com and its article on the matter.  And I appreciate those and do feel that the value of this site increases with the more diverse information.  But its diverse information that adds value, me going into an existing article to add a competing link is not really provided a diverse view of the subject just an additional exit page from this site. Theres actually a lot of these messages that filter in throughout the week. If I spend the time to add the links where they want it would probably consume half a day read messages, finding article, review their link, add it to mine and now to the next.  Its also questionable how long that material is going to be up before ...

What is the best burger in town? Thats your keyword, not your burger brand. Keywords For Google Ranking SEO efforts always start out with the simplest goal. Every web site wants to rank for their name. UltimateSEO.org for instance, most people would say how does it rank for Ultimate SEO? But thats honestly not of any value, think about it ... the only people searching Ultimate SEO are those who already know about you. More likely you're the only one searching your brand name unless your a huge company. Finding Your Keywords Your name is what I call a vanity keyword. Others will call it a "Branded Keyword." It would be great to rank for it but its only for your peace of mind. In a recent election I had to explain to the candidate that ranking for his name would be nice but wouldnt he rather rank for every ...

CCPA AND GDPR Shoulda Made It On Your Radar by now, but I bet it hasn't.  At least based on the random 24 sites I visited today.  Nearly three in four sites have no CCPA or GDPR mandated announcements. WHAT ARE COOKIES From the early days of the internet you've received cookies.  Cookies are a small text file that identifies you to a site once you visit it.  Now how does it identify you?  Not specifically in and of themselves, think of them as tokens.  Or prize tickets ... the token or ticket doesn't have to have information directly about you it could be just a number. Say you visit my site I give you a cookie and it has a number I assigned to you.  Your 777.  You come back a day later and your computer shows your cookie and I know that 777 was here yesterday so you've ...

Previously we've discussed Google Data Studio as a possible Wordstream Alternative and in Google Data Studio Knows Everything SEO, Or It Can we've noted to ability to combine different data sets from Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Ads and more. These combined data sources allow us to produce rich graphs that are easy to understand but key to website performance and search engine positioning. In this article we're going to look further in the implications for your digital marketing strategy when PPC is fueled by Data Studio. Data From Multiple Sources To Improve Your CPC Campaign Adwords ads are priced along some similar factors as SEO.  The landing page experience is the prime example.  If Adwords or Google Ads determines your user experience is going to be poor it penalizes you by charging more .. many times more driving up your ad costs. It makes sense though, Google wants ...

Each of these four domains of knowledge are collectively Digital Marketing. Digital Marketing is the promotion of online content to targeted audiences. Search Engine Optimization or SEO SEO is the oldest domain of Digital Marketing. Don't be fooled though by the length of time this has been around. SEO is fluid and often changes making the methods of five, ten or twenty years ago worthless, if not a liability. Search Engine Marketing SEM is the second oldest and can be called PPC or Pay Per Click. PPC is actually a form of SEM you could pay per impression or pay per conversion. The key commonality of SEM methods that seperates it from SEO is that it is paid. Social Media Optimization or SMO Social Media is a ranking factor and it has been for sometime. SMO is the counterpart of SEO but rather than Search Engine's the target is Social ...
