Webmaster and Online Business Owners! Beware of Google’s New Algorithm

10

I still remember I had a friend when I was very young. She was my next door neighbor. She was so cute and adorable that I still can’t forget her divine face. She was crazy about gardening and fortunately they had a huge lawn so she could enjoy a lot of her time practicing her hobby. Her father also helped her and they truly made the garden look like fairy place.

One day I woke up and fount that she and her family are gone; the landlord had exiled them as he desired to rent the house out to one of his friends. When she was no more there, the garden turned into carcasses in no time. Did you ever think that the same thing can happen to your online business? If not, then it’s time to rethink – rather seriously.

If you have an online business, regardless of its nature, you are dependent on many other bodies which are beyond your control such as the ISP, web-hosting company and so on. But the most important entity for all of us is undoubtedly Google – the search engine that enjoys 70% of the market share. If your website is banned, or even starts performing poorly, it simply means you are screwed up.

How to Cope with Google’s New Algorithm?

 

google's new panda algorithm

Google team is striving to make it the perfect search engine as stated by Google’s co-founder Larry Page. The changes in new algorithm i.e. Panda 2.0, can severely affect your ranking if you do not comply with the following four guidelines:

1-      Get Rid Of Superfluous Ads

Do you know which site is most affected by Google’s new algorithm? Every article writer’s favorite: Ezineartcles. The reason behind this is clear; you can see their pages are flooded with ads. If you don’t want to let the same happen to your online site, make sure your page has unique and useful content for visitors rather than countless ads. Keep the ratio to 80% unique and quality content and 20% ads.

The ads incorporated inside the body of the content are most hazardous. The best place for ads is your side bar or page footer. Do you know what is really beyond belief? This penalty also applies to Google’s very own Google AdSense.

2-      Pay Attention to Google Analytics

Google’s new algorithm is smarter than we may think. It calculates the time how much a user spends on your pages after finding it in Google. If the visitors spend more time on your competitor’s site as compared to yours, you will be creamed. It means that gone are the days when you could simply con the web surfers by cheeky, outlandish keywords while your page contained a completely different story.

You can view the average amount of time spent by a user on your page through Google Analytics, by signing up for free.

3-      Present Longer Media Rich Content

Do you think previously adored 300 word count standard is enough for your better SEO? Think again. New rule of thumb is the more the better. Make sure your page has a few more words and is rich in media.

4-      Boost Social Media Existence

Though these Facebook likes and Twitter tweets don’t help your page rank directly, but now Google takes into account the social activity on your website or blog as a measure of popularity. So it is time to download a plugin and create content which leaves the reader with no other option but to like it!

WordPress for Business Websites: Important Tips, Pros & Cons

2

WordPress is great for blogging andhas recently been gaining popularity for business purposes. It offers many themesfor users, to develop business websites which can prove to be very useful.

Tips on how to use WordPress for business:-

Use pages and posts in the right way

Pages and posts are quite different from each other and are treated differently by search engines. Do not make random posts all the time. Posts are good for information that is new or changing. But there are facts about your business that remain the same like your profile, history, contact information etc. Such facts should be placed on pages and not in form of posts.

Select/ create the right theme

There are many themes available for making business websites. Go through a number of such templates, in the business category, of template providing websites and choose the one that suits you best. Magazine templates can be helpful. Make sure not to use blog templates for your website.

You can also create your own theme. You can use ideas to make your website look attractive. Do not follow layouts used in blogs; you can probably use grids and other layouts commonly used in websites.

Comments on pages

Do not enable comments on pages. However, some clients might want to keep the comments open on certain posts, so do confirm with the client on his requirements and act accordingly.

 

Pros of using WordPress:-

Quick and simple process

The process is quick and simple. It takes only a few minutes to create the basic design and once WordPress is uploaded, the website begins to run.

Supervision

As the administrator is working, the client can supervise the live process over the internet.

Helps client make changes

WordPress allows the client himself to make minor changes, add information and updates independently. You can train the client to do so. This will not make you lose the client; in fact, it is most likely that the client will give you more jobs and recommendations in time.

 

Cons of using WordPress:-

Limitations in design

When you create custom made designs for your website, you can enjoy the freedom that a readymade template will not provide you.

Limitations in using graphics

WordPress websites do not accommodate too many graphics needed to create a very flashy website required for certain businesses.

To conclude: Use WordPress for websites that require constant updating. If your pages do not require updating regularly, then you can go ahead and make your own custommade website in the traditional manner. The choice based on the requirements of the client and you should help the client make the right choice.
