He chose friendship

After finally having visited the final exhibition in Tokyo myself, I’m left with a lot of thoughts. First of all: the exhibition was amazing! All the coverage of it does not do it justice! The videos made for this event, were stunning! And they have several important artifacts from the story on display in 1:1 scale that just gave me all the feels. Armin’s book, pages open, was lying less than two meters away from me, for instance! I wasn’t even aware they had his book until a few days beforehand, when I saw an image of it by pure chance! I went 4 times, and I could go again. A+!

Anyways, I’ll gush about my trip later. Right now, I want to tell you guys about something I picked up on that I really want to share. You see, I didn’t expect a lot of answers going in; the coverage had already show and told us what the exhibition was all about. And no, I still have no clue what that ending sound is… But I – quite surprisingly  – think I found the answer to the question posed on Armin’s wall. I’m sure you’ve seen it. Red background, seashell in hand. The nerve wrecking words: “is it truth or friendship that he has chosen to believe in?” like the truth is now in opposition with his personal relationships…

Well, I’m here to tell you I know the answer. Let’s just skip right to it: Armin chose friendship.

Here’s why:  

Truth is fleeting. It changes from person to person, based on the deciphering key we use to read the world around us. Truth is a construct. It is what we decide it is. Take Armin’s speech to Annie about good and bad people; it’s the same thing: one person’s action is in truth, both a good thing and a bad thing – depending on who’s looking. If Annie had chosen not to help Armin, she would – in truth – have made a non-beneficial choice. To Armin. However, that same choice, was a beneficial one – to Annie. Her choice is both beneficial, and not – but not both. Just either or, equally, depending on point of view. Two realities, both true. Truth is truly fleeting.

…That’s one way of seeing it anyways. I’m not here to start a philosophical discussion with you. I do, personally, largely subscribe to the abovementioned way of seeing it. However, whether you do or not, is irrelevant here. Because, the exhibition (and the story of SNK) very clearly, tells its visitors that this is how truth works in SNK. The notion of truth being fleeting, is explicitly confirmed as (ironically enough) true, for the SNK universe. As a matter of fact, the entire exhibition seems to have as objective to make you understand just how amputated your understanding of life is, if you lead your life with “one truth” as your compass. The exhibition fronts the duality of reality seen from “growing up inside the walls” vs “growing up outside the walls” almost to an awkwardly spoon-feeding degree. “Truth” is the weakest card, we get it.

As you enter the “paths room”, this is literally the writing on the wall:

By now you know,

that the “truth” is not the only one

in this world.

 But one thing that is for sure

Is that you were born here

 So, you can continue

to choose your own reality.

So, you can carry on progressing

until you burn out the life

you’ve been born with.

What I’m trying to say here, is that after setting Armin’s dilemma up in a way that’s supposed to sound difficult, the exhibition gives the answer away by thoroughly deconstructing “truth” to the degree that it’s barely tangible enough to “choose”.  

Listen, when you read the question, you wondered, didn't you? What the answer would be? Or if you didn’t, didn’t you at least entertain the idea that both “truth” and “friendship” are strong contenders for Armin’s core? Because they are. Almost; Armin is soft for his friends and for general kindness. He has a very human, very gentle side to him. The same side that dreams of far away places where lights dance in the sky and where you can walk on miles and miles of sand and ice – and much, much more. But he also has a cynical side to him, one that says the end justifies the means and that he should throw anything way (including love and kindness) on a personal level if that’s what’s required for the greater good. This side shoots women in the face without hesitation when, in the grand scheme of things, it is beneficial. The same side sees the benefit in having his friend eaten if he poses a threat to all mankind (sidenote: just because he can see such a benefit does not mean he wishes for it; I can see the benefit in going to the gym but it doesn’t mean I want to go). Basically, there is a duality in Armin: he is both full of love for life and people, and simultaneously ready to throw it away and turn cynical in order to pursue what’s “right”. So when those two sides are set up against each other, which side comes out on top?

That’s basically what the question at the exhibition is trying to make you think; that the current events of the story is making it impossible to hold on to both – that the “truth” is that he has to oppose Eren in order to achieve a positive outcome – or that the only way to hold on to Eren is by directly acting against his better judgment.

However, it’s easy to poke holes in this supposed problem: for starters, “truth” is not a strong representative for Armin’s cynical side at all. If there’s one character who’s explicitly opposed a fixed truth, it’s Armin (read: his speech to Annie). His strong desire to communicate with others also tell us that he’s open to the idea that things may look different from others’ point of view. Armin isn’t pursuing truth, because he doesn’t believe it’s fixed. Actually, it’s almost the opposite: he already knows his own truth, so he keeps trying to seek out others’ in order to expand/change his own. Basically, Armin already know the lesson that the final exhibition is trying to teach us: that “the truth” is a weak concept. So between “truth” and “friendship”, Armin will have no problem picking actual human relations with high chances of a positive outcome (based on context), over… something that can’t even really be pinpointed; truth. Hell, it even changes from person to person, so what truth would he be choosing?

 “Ok, so maybe they phrased that badly. The point is he has to choose mankind or Eren, right? That’s still the issue.” Nope. They worded it exactly right. Because the “truth” is, Armin doesn’t know where Eren stands. He can’t choose to go against Eren for the greater good, before he knows that the two are even opposites to begin with. Armin’s theme for this arc has been that he doesn’t feel like he understand Eren any more. We see him struggle to try to figure out precisely if Eren IS opposing the greater good or not. As of chapter 120, he has yet to know the answer to that. In other words, the “truth” option is NOT “I have to go against Eren”; it’s “I still don’t know exactly where he stands and thus what is the best action to take for the greater god. I will have to keep digging until I know enough to make a choice on what to do”. It’s still possible that his search would lead him to the fact that Eren needs to be opposed, eventually, but at this point in time, he doesn’t know that, and thus – since he has already “chosen to believe in” either – it cannot mean “opposing Eren”, as neither “friendship” nor specifically “truth” contains “Eren is bad”. Thus, the only one of the two option that opens up for decisive action, is “friendship”; ultimately, “truth” vs “friendship” looks like this: either Armin chooses to trust and back Eren, or he chooses to keep wondering where Eren stands. If not for any other reason than good story telling, it’s time Isayama put Armin on a decisive path, to push the narrative along.  

As a digression, I’d like to say that I’m aware that the last two or three chapters seem to lean so heavily towards Armin trusting Eren that I’d almost say we’ve been shown the answer already – but I see a lot of you are still worried, and that’s why I’m adding in my two cents on the matter. I already beforehand wanted to believe he chose friendship, but it was only once I experienced the exhibition myself that I saw just how obvious it was.

Anyways, back on track: that’s why I say they worded it exactly right; Armin’s dilemma is not “opposing Eren fore the greater good” vs “discarding his better judgment to prioritize his personal relationship with Eren”. Armin’s two core personalities are not being put up against each other, so they can’t say they are. They (and by “they” I mean Isa/editors/those that worked on the exhibition) are simply playing off the theme of the arc: the fear that Armin has had – and that many EMA fans have had – which is that the truth about Eren will turn out to be that he’s gone off the deep end and needs to be opposed by the two people who love him the most. For a while, it also was made to look like it was likely the case (all to scare us, mind you). “The truth” sounds scary on its own – but even more so when they’ve built up a contextually contained denotation that it means something bad. By saying “truth”, they are using the decoy of fear to distract us from the fact that it’s an empty threat – for all the reasons listed above.

Another digression to make the dilemma sound even less scary: every major character whom had a wall dedicated to them, got an equally ominous rhetorical question written next to them. Look at it like the splash text at the end of each chapter; it’s just there to quicken your pulse, remind you of the stakes and make you want to keep reading to find the answer. Also, the color red is used to identify the Eldian side throughout the exhibition and is used to singnal “belonging to Eldia” - it’s not there to ask you scary questions you don’t wanna answer (while I’m sure it IS there to make you feel nervous about the fate and righteousness of their side vs Marley - again, to blow the “right and wrong” out of the water). 

Anyways, if Armin’s two cores were set up against each other, it’d be an interesting match for sure… but that’s not what’s happening here. Truth has got nothing on friendship in this context. Armin chose friendship. Because friendship… is magic.

Analysis of Elarion’s poem - City Perspective

@siderealsentinel has written up a really cool theory about Elarion being a city and I really really like it. And the reason for that is because finally the poem makes sense to me.

When I read it for the first time, it sounded so weird. None of the phrases really made sense to me. I interpreted it as being about a human and thought “Well, I guess it’s supposed to mean something like she grows up (seedling, pulling roots, her open flower -> adulthood etc.) and that she’s in need of help and that she spreads dark magic (spreads her roots).” But nevertheless it didn’t feel satisfying. The metaphors didn’t feel like very goid descriptions of human experiences to me. Kind of, as if someone was trying just a bit too hard to sound different, mysterious and poetic.

But now, when I read it from the perspective of a city suddenly everything makes sense to me. Everything falls into place automatically. The metaphors suddenly seem fitting and don’t feel like forceful attempts at colourful speech.

And since I’m confusing Tumblr with English class right now, I will quickly go over every verse. : D

Also, I will sound exactly as pretentious as you would expect if from a poem analysis!

In general I think the growing tree metaphor is a very good parallel for a little settlement or small town (seedling) growing over time, streching its roots --> growing and occupying more land, stretching its branches --> amongst others: buildings growing higher towards the sky, open flower --> a city being at its peak, economically, politically culturally and socially. It sounds like the city is thriving, perhaps very rich and possibly quite influental in Xadia.

Elarion, trembling seedling Lying on the ground on an icy night. And in the cold She pulled her roots Defying the deadly winter bite.

This sounds, obviously, like the beginning. A small settlement, weak and with little rescources whose people have a hard time surviving the winter because they lack so much. But somehow it manages to grow into a blooming city:

Elarion, and her open flower, Afraid of wilt, darkness and death, She searched the darkness For a Spark And caught the eyes of a hungry dragon.

However, the city fears the loss of their fortunate situation, their peak, their wealth, their influence. This could either be due to greed or because they fear that they could never withstand magic forces as mere non-magical beings. Or both. So, in order to avoid a possible downfall and the wilting of their city, they search for means to prevent such a case. The spark could mean that they look for a source of magic. Maybe they’re trying to amass magical jewels, primal stones and other natural carriers of energy that they can use.

It is possible that they don’t really go about it in a measured way. Maybe they’re desperate and are too intense in their actions, maybe they’re greedy and try to take too much, maybe they’re too aggressive and it leads to conlficts with surrounding settlements and magical beings. No matter what, their work surely doesn’t go unnoticed and they attract a dragon. (Perhaps they wronged him in their pursuit and it wants revenge. Perhaps it’s just evil and they were unfortunat enough to wake its interest.) Elarion, the fearful fool, Reached her white branches toward the night, Asking the stars To receive their light And stop the fire of the raging dragon.

Now, that they’re faced with an enemy, that seems to be too powerful for them to defeat, their fear starts to make them foolish. Perhaps this is a hint, that they’re so desperate that they’d welcome any solution. Even if it is harmful and risky to themselves and others...like dark magic.

Before that happens though, they turn to the help of the stars which - as most assume - are the startouch elves (and maybe other starbound intelligent creatures) to save them from the dragon.

Receive their light could either just mean that they ask for their “blessing” and their mercy and hope the elves will stop the dragon for the humans. Or it could indicate that the humans asked to receive power - perhaps a star primal stone (which would be a literal physical embodiment of the stars’ light) - in order to fight the dragon themselves.

Personally I think it is the latter for a couple of reasons: It fits well with the theme of humans seeking out magic for their own gains and protection. Even without an arcanum humans could thrive a lot more if they owned more magical utensils like primal stones or arcane gems (they’d still be disadvantaged because those things are rare but if every city or so had their primal-stone equipped mage then they’s already be a much bigger force to be reckoned with). Also, unlike dark magic, it’s save. However the Danish text implies that humans aren’t considered equal. So perhaps the mere idea of humans using magic is considered an affront and their question for a primal stone could be seen as a big offense, making the elves even less willing to help.

Elarion, a heavy body, Cried as the stars of the sky turned to black, They turned their backs They concealed their light, They left Elarion to die.

A heavy body could mean that they’re already under attack and have taken substantial damage, making it hard for them to recover. For some reason - justified or not - the startouch elves abandoned the city. Maybe they didn’t see it as worthy because of their disdain for humans, maybe humans had done something arguably wrong in their attempts to keep their city strong and healthy and the elves thought its destruction was justified. As a consequence the city is facing its demise.

Elarion, her shell struggled death, She withered and suffered in darkness, Until the last star Linked from afar: a fire, a gift, a spark.

However in the last moment, right before their death, Elf Jesus - or Elf Satan - appears and gives them the power that they have so desperately searched for. A spark, magic.

Elarion, with her pure whiteness, Embraced the great black night flame. When she bent down, She declared her faith, She whispered, "Aaravos," his name.

The pure whiteness could have a double meaning, referring to the still innocent city on the one hand but perhaps also to the stone the city is primarily built with (not as important, but who knows). Maybe Elarion, being an important city, was famous for its white, bright cityscape.

Going back to the fearful fool, the city readily accepts a dark powerful force that is given to them.

Now here it becomes really interesting because the more obvious way to read it, is that Aaravos gave them dark magic directly. Either because he thought human empowerment justifies a possibly dangerous force since they have nothing else left. Or because he’s a bastard who wanted to cause a human-elf conflict deliberately.

No matter what, the city considers Aaravos their saviour and the humans pledge their loyalty to him (oh...). They become his disciples - maybe more in a scholarly way or maybe with much more religous undertones - but either way, they declare their faith to him and follow him.

The other interpretation, that siderealsentinel suggested, is that Aaravos merely tried to give them arcane magic but along the way humans discovered dark magic. Maybe they wrongfully associated his name with the practise by vocally following him/worshipping him and spreading the belief in Xadia that he is actually the source, when that was never his intention.

Another possibility is a middle-ground between these two, namle that he thought dark magic was a necessery tool for humans to connect to an arcanum (see Callum). So he introduced them to the dark flame, in an attempt to lead them to their arcanum but sadly humans didn’t really share his vision and thought dark magic was much more convinient. And that sweet moment of revenge, when you kill a dragon and actually use its body to conjure more magic that you can turn against other dragons.

I think this also opens up the possibility that Aaravos’ very bitter words to Viren are not in fact about the elves that imprisoned him (if he was imprisoned at all - that seems debatable, too), but about the humans to whom he extended loyalty and friendship but who...yes...ignored him. They failed his test of love. (Sorry, I’m really going overboard here. And eventually it could still very well relate to the elves and dragons. From interviews it sounds like he still has a special interest in humans? Or maybe he’s pissed at everyone. Everyone betrayed him. And on top of that he has to wear pants now.)

Elarion, black-eyed child, Her twisted roots spread deep and far, The humans’ might Sparked by the light Of Aaravos, her midnight star.

Elarion, being the capital of dark magic, spreads out. This could either mean that they literally expand and forcefully subjugate their surroundings, bringing dark magic to the humans living in the land they take in. Or it’s a metaphor for the citizens of Elarion merely spreading the word/the gospel and the practise of dark magic amongst humans.

They do all of this in the name of Aaravos - who may or may not like this depending on his intentions and the level of aggression the Elarion citizens employ.

However, one way or another, as their spiritual leader of some sorts he has become the guiding star of the city. The light in the dark midnight they had to face before. Either because he supported the spread of dark magic until it reached a desastrous tipping point (that he may or may not have wanted to happen) or because he accidently pushed them into the wrong direction and now they’re taking it everywhere and crediting him as their saviour (if only they’d be more like instagram art reposters in this regard...)

Christian apologetic sources cannot be trusted as they are dishonest in their work and purposely suppress information in order to lead astray those who are unsuspecting enough to believe them via /r/atheism

Submitted October 11, 2020 at 03:14PM by MelodicEarth2 (Via reddit https://ift.tt/3lB6tQ4) Christian apologetic sources cannot be trusted as they are dishonest in their work and purposely suppress information in order to lead astray those who are unsuspecting enough to believe them

Let's take the example of the Genocide of Midian.

"So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves." (Numbers 31:17-18)

I was talking to someone about this verse and he, like many other religious people, bring up the idea that these girls weren't raped. They were forcibly married to their captors (and then used for intercourse), maybe at an older age. When you search for religious apologetics on this verse, this is one of the top links that show up: https://askjohnmackay.com/divine-rape-how-you-believe-in-god-would-order-girls-raped-in-numbers-31/

The apologetic talks about the Isrealite marriage laws for kidnapped, non-Jewish women. So he tries his utmost to make it appear that this isn't rape. Murdering the families of these young virgin daughters and then kidnapping them to "marry" them. Call me an evil atheist, but I think girls should get to choose who they get to marry, and who they give their virginity to.

Christian apologists are honest people, at least, that's what I believed when I myself was Christian. They are men of the good book after all. The book says lying is a sin. But let's examine what the apologist says about this:

"No act that could be called rape is ever described in Numbers 31. Yet the God who ordered Moses to war, who did allow soldiers to take captive women as wives, also gave rules for marriage to such captive women. Deuteronomy 21:10 records Moses informing the people that: "When you go forth to war against your enemies, and >>the Lord your God has delivered them into your hands<< and you have taken them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and desire her, and take her for a wife -Then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and do her nails, and she shall remove the garment of her captivity from her, and remain in your house and weep for her father and mother a for month, and after that you may approach her and have intercourse with her, and she shall be your wife.”

"You may approach her and have intercourse with her", God is saying it is okay to do this to these captured daughters. Did God ever think about the feelings of these girls? Or are they just sexual property? The daughter didn't have any say in the matter.

To my surprise, the Deuteronomy verses quoted in the Christian apologetic article conveniently left out the last verse where it says the following:

"And if you do not want her, you shall send her out on her own; you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not treat her as a slave, because you violated her."

Just to note again, it says "if you do not want her let her go", not "if she does not want you let her go".

At first you might have thought that the "intercourse" mentioned prior could have been consensual (yeah, I'm sure this kidnapped girl that just had her parents murdered by these people would have consensual sex with these people), but it turns out that God is giving these kidnapped virgin girls into their hands in order to rape them, or to have them forcibly married and then raped.

I will use the verse which the Christian conveniently and dishonestly left out to prove that the holy and just God of the Bible is aiding and abetting mass sexual abuse of daughters. As you read the Bible, you suddenly notice the children of Israel are precisely all the time being ordered to covet. Being enjoined to covet, being told they must envy and hope to annex the lands, the animals and the women and young daughters of neighboring tribes. They kept going by greed, by the thought that soon, all these peoples properties shall be ours. And that we'll be licensed to take it by force, and kill them and have the land but not their people. This is perhaps why there are no prohibitions against, say, slavery, rape, genocide, or child abuse in the 10 Commandments.

It's not a matter of leaving these out or applying situational ethics to a time that was not ours. It's not that. Such things have always been known of and usually deplored. It's more I fear that such terrible things as rape, enslavement, genocide and child abuse, were just about to be mandatory during this time. They're just about to be forced on people by God, as things they must do if a conquest was to continue.

The biblical text of Deuteronomy 21:10-14 deals with the treatment of sexually desirable non-Jewish women who are captured in war. It addresses the sexual privileges of the captors, as well as the legal rights and the process of the socialization into Israelite society of the captives.

What is the nature of the sexual act contemplated in Deut. 21:10-14?:

"When you go forth to war against your enemies, and >>the Lord your God has delivered them into your hands<< and you have taken them captive, And you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and desire her, and take her for a wife -Then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and do her nails, And she shall remove the garment of her captivity from her, and remain in your house and weep for her father and mother a for month, and after that you may approach her and have intercourse with her, and she shall be your wife. And if you do not want her, you shall send her out on her own; you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not treat her as a slave, because you "violated" her.

We shall focus on the expression "violated her," 'initah in Hebrew, from the root 'anah. It is in the translation of this word that an attitudinal difference between the Targumim becomes apparent. In 2 Samuel 13;11-14, the story of Amnon and Tamar, the root 'anah is used twice: "do not violate me," and then "he overpowered her, he violated her, and he lay with her." If we understand "and he lay with her" to mean "and he had intercourse with her," we may understand from the juxtaposition of the two concepts that 'anah can be considered sexual violence. That is, in this instance the use of 'anah together with "had intercourse" seems to imply actual rape.

This seems to be the case as well in Gen.34:2, the story of Dinah and Shechem. There the text says: "He [Shechem] took her, and he lay with [had intercourse] with her and he violated her [vaye'anehah]." 'Anah alone would not mean necessarily rape, but simply sexual violence of some sort. Rape is again implied here by the use of 'anah and "had intercourse" together.

The idea of rape may also be expressed with other terminology. In Deuteronomy 22:25, 28 we find the verb "had intercourse" used with the verbs "took hold of," "grabbed", to imply the idea of forced intercourse i.e. rape. The verb 'anah is used alone in Lamentations 5:11, Ezekiel 22:10, and Judges 19:25, and from the context in these instances seems to imply rape.

We must recognize, however, that though it is important to determine what is meant by 'anah in Deuteronomy 21:14, rape is only one way of exerting sexual violence. Clearly sexual violence is conveyed in all the quoted instances where 'anah is used. Thus although there is no specific mention of rape in Deuteronomy 21:14, the word 'initah implies that the woman's consent (if any) to intercourse was due to her circumstances.

The expression 'initah is particularly poignant, a point that seems to have been recognized in both the Onqelos and Neophyti Targums. Onqelos actually uses the root 'anah in his translation, while Neophyti 1 has "you have exercised your power/authority [reshut] over her." Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, on the other hand, considers 'anah to be only actual intercourse, translating with the verb shamash, and thus failing to transmit the Bible's sensitivity to the captive's powerlessness.

Source: Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal 1

From Jewish sources:

Rav Yosef says: Come and hear a resolution from a mishna (Nidda 44b): A girl who is three years and one day old whose father arranged her betrothal is betrothed with intercourse, as the legal status of intercourse with her is that of full-fledged intercourse.

My own research from conservative orthodox Jews:

https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/65726/does-the-talmud-promote-pedophilia

Bear in mind that that website’s answers are generally by Orthodox Jews and so should be read as potentially composed with that bias. Like some of the quotes are portrayed in a way that doesn’t really show some of the ugliness underneath, like the quote saying that relations with girls too young to bear children delays the messiah in context is because there need to be a certain number of Jewish souls born and so it’s not productive to have relations with them, or certain places where the answer states that someone says it's outright forbidden to have relations with girls too young to bear children, the answer leaves out that the explicit reason given is that it's wasting seed and applies to adult women with a closed womb too, and it misdirects from this fact by saying "safe childbearing age". You'd see that by actually going to the sources referenced -- https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/960669/jewish/Issurei-Biah-Chapter-Twenty-One.htm and https://www.sefaria.org/Shulchan_Arukh%2C_Even_HaEzer.23?lang=bi-- but the answer itself didn't make that easy since it only links to the Hebrew-only versions. Or it downplays the opinions that say it's merely discouraged.

Or the Talmudic ban on marrying children leaves out that before then it was not prohibited and not uncommon. See https://utj.org/viewpoints/responsa/concerning-the-marriage-of-a-minor-girl/ for discussion. E.g. the Gemara has stories of women claiming to be married as children, such as https://www.dafyomi.co.il/nidah/points/ni-ps-045.htm

This is not to say what is generally accepted Halacha, nor that the halacha would necessarily reflect the intent of the Priestly source author of Numbers 31, just that the Stack Exchange answers given by the religious may be light on certain details.

And, it’s not at all clear that it is just some sort of legal technicality as it relates to the case in Numbers 31, since the Gemara does seem to regard 3 as practically significant as the age above which girls were considered fit for relations and thus killed: https://www.sefaria.org/Yevamot.60b?lang=bi

It may have to suffice to say that it’s a really immoral, but dubious, tale.

So this is what the Christians are hiding from you, and for good reason. This is something that would deconvert a human being that loves justice and morality. Christians worship their God because they think he is love and just. But this is the opposite of that, this is the opposite of Jesus words,

"This is the message we have heard from Jesus and now proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).

Also this isn't the first time Christians have lied and suppressed information regarding these type of controversial issues. They also lie about the time in the Bible when God had children sacrificed in fire -- and then lied about it.

Pay Per Click (PPC)

Advertisers, would we be able to be straightforward with one another for a second? On a size of 1-10, what amount do you truly comprehend the universe of paid promoting?

Regardless of the way that 45% of private ventures utilize paid advertisements, pay-per-click is as yet an idea that escapes a considerable lot of us. Be that as it may, if half of independent ventures are utilizing it, we can't stand to overlook this channel, regardless of how confounding.

As an advertiser, PPC is an ability that you ought to have in your apparatus belt — or possibly have a fundamental comprehension of.

This guide will assist you with getting a handle on pay-per-click promoting completely. To begin, we'll start with the advantages of paid promoting and afterward get into some key definitions that you'll have to know.

How accomplishes PPC work?

Pay-per-click, PPC, is a paid promoting model that falls under web crawler advertising (SEM). With PPC, the publicist possibly pays when individuals connect with their promotion through impressions or snaps.

At the point when done right, PPC can gain you quality leads. On the off chance that you can make a consistent client venture (which you'll figure out how to do later in this piece), it could mean an enormous ROI for your PPC endeavors.

Pay-per-click promoting is generally regular in internet searcher results pages (SERPs), like Google or Bing, but at the same time is utilized on social channels (despite the fact that CPM is more normal). In case you're pondering where you can discover pay-per-click promotions, they're the outcomes you see previously and to one side of the natural indexed lists. For example, look at the advertisement that surfaced as I continued looking for "cards".

Advantages of PPC

All in all, for what reason would you pay for promotions when you can contact your crowd naturally through extraordinary substance and deliberately positioned catchphrases (also called SEO)?

The appropriate response is: catchphrases have gotten progressively serious. This makes it more hard for a business that doesn't have the space position to get them into the top rankings on a web crawler or before their intended interest group on a social stage. Indeed, endless organizations are utilizing advertisements that natural outcomes frequently don't begin until you're further down the page.

That doesn't mean you should jettison all SEO endeavors totally — your paid publicizing should supplement your SEO system instead of supplant it.

Paid publicizing will assist you with ascending to the top in a serious market and be seen by potential clients who may not realize that you exist. It can assist you with advancing your next showcasing activity, improve brand mindfulness, or rank for troublesome watchword terms. At the end of the day, PPC is your alternate way to getting to the top inside your specialty. Also, whenever done mindfully, PPC can be vital to your inbound showcasing procedure.

PPC-Related Terms You Should Know

What's a promoting channel without a couple of abbreviations and a little language? In case you will enter the paid publicizing space, there are a couple of terms you should know. Underneath, we audit the fundamental components of a PPC crusade, going from wide to the more explicit.

Internet searcher Marketing (SEM)

The goal of all types of computerized promoting is to rank for an objective watchword, and that should be possible in various manners. Web index Marketing (SEM) alludes to any computerized advertising (paid or unpaid) done on an internet searcher, similar to Google, Yahoo, or Bing. SEM is an umbrella term that envelops both paid publicizing and website streamlining, that is, positioning naturally for watchwords. It's critical to take note of that not all PPC happens on web crawlers — web-based media has PPC promotions, as well (think: Facebook Ads).

CPC

Cost-per-click (CPC) is the sum that a promoter pays for each snap on your advertisement. CPC goes about as your offer in a closeout that figures out where your advertisement will be put. As you can envision, a higher offer compares to better promotion position. You set your CPC at the greatest value you are happy to pay per click on your advertisement. What you really pay is dictated by the accompanying recipe: (Competitor's Ad Rank/Your Quality Score) + 0.01 = Actual CPC. How about we go over the terms in this condition so you comprehend what you're paying for:

Advertisement Rank

This worth decides the situation of an advertisement on a web index results page. It's equivalent to Maximum Bid x Quality Score.

Quality Score

This is the score that web crawlers provide for your advertisement dependent on your clickthrough rate (CTR) — estimated against the normal CTR of promotions in that position — the importance of your catchphrases, the nature of your greeting page, and your previous presentation on the SERP.

Greatest Bid

This is the greatest you're willing to pay per click on you promotion.

Here's a picture by WordStream that represents what I mean:

You can set your CPC to manual, where you decide the greatest offer for your promotions, or improved, which permits the web crawlers to modify your offer dependent on your objectives. One of these improved alternatives includes offer techniques that consequently modify your offers dependent on either snaps or transformations.

PPC versus CPC

PPC and CPC are not in fact something very similar. PPC alludes to a style of promoting that incorporates paying for ads. CPC, or cost-per-click, alludes to the measure of cash you spend on a solitary snap on your promotion.

CPM (Cost per Mille)

CPM, otherwise called cost per thousand, is the expense per 1,000 impressions. It's most usually utilized for paid social and show promotions. There are different sorts of cost-pers… like expense per-commitment, cost-per-securing (CPA), however for safeguarding your psychological space, we will stay with clicks, a.k.a. CPC.

Mission

The initial phase in setting up your PPC promotions is deciding your advertisement crusade. You can think about your mission as the key message, or subject, you need to get across with your notices.

Promotion Group

One size doesn't fit all. That is the reason you'll make a progression of promotions inside your mission dependent on a lot of profoundly related catchphrases. You can set a CPC for every advertisement bunch that you make.

Watchwords

Every promotion inside your advertisement gathering will focus on a lot of applicable catchphrases or key terms. These catchphrases tell web indexes which terms or search inquiries you need your advertisement to be shown close by in SERPs. When you figure out which watchwords perform best, you can set a miniature CPC only for catchphrases inside your promotions.

Advertisement Text

Your catchphrases ought to illuminate your advertisement text. Keep in mind, your Quality Score is dictated by how important your advertisement is, consequently, the content in your promotion (and greeting page besides) should coordinate the catchphrase terms that you're focusing on.

Point of arrival

A point of arrival is a basic bit of your paid promoting system. The greeting page is the place clients will wind up once they click your PPC promotion. Regardless of whether it's a committed page, your landing page, or elsewhere, try to follow presentation page best practices to augment transformations.

Best PPC Platforms

Since you comprehend the PPC nuts and bolts, I'm speculating your next inquiry is: Where would it be a good idea for me to publicize?

There are many online spaces where you can go through your pined for promotion cash, and the most ideal approach to vet them is by investigating your possible ROI on every stage.

The most mainstream publicizing stages are powerful in light of the fact that they're anything but difficult to utilize, and, in particular, profoundly dealt. However, for a littler spending plan, you should think about a lesser-known option in contrast to these vital participants. Some extra interesting points while picking a stage are the accessibility of watchword terms, where your intended interest group invests their energy, and your promoting spending plan.

Here a non-comprehensive rundown of a portion of the top PPC stages.

How frequently a day do you hear the expression "Let me Google that"? Presumably beyond what you can tally … henceforth why Google Ads is the ruler of paid publicizing. By and large, Google measures more than 40,000 inquiry inquiries consistently, giving you a lot of chances to target catchphrases that will get your target group to click. The drawback is that catchphrases are exceptionally serious on this stage, which means a more prominent promotion spend.

Step by step instructions to Get Started with PPC Advertising

Since you comprehend the advantages of PPC, have your key terms, and recognize what stages you can publicize on, we should plunge into making a quality PPC crusade. You don't have to handle these things bit by bit, however you should work through every one of them to guarantee that you make a viable mission.

Set Parameters

I realize I composed that you don't have to do these things all together, however you ought to do this progression first. Without boundaries, you hazard your promotion being untargeted and insufficient. You need to put your promotion crusades into the setting of your definitive business objectives. Consider how your paid missions will add to those objectives. At that point, consider what you need to achieve with your advertisements — regardless of whether that be visits, deals, brand mindfulness, or something different — and the amount you're willing to spend to achieve that objective.

Your advertisements ought to envelop a couple of things:

• Who you need to target

• Theme of your mission

• How you will quantify achievement

• Type of mission you will run

Make Your Goals and Goal Metrics

Your mission objectives will give you something to show for your promotion spend as long as you decide how you will gauge those objectives. Your objective measurements ought not be mistaken for your mission measurements, which we'll examine beneath.

How about we address some regular PPC objectives and how to gauge them.

Brand mindfulness is the way natural your intended interest group is with your organization. It may be a smart thought to investigate show advertisements for this objective so you can enhance your duplicate with drawing in symbolism. You can quantify brand mindfulness through social commitment, studies, and direct traffic.

Lead age is the immediate aftereffect of having a significant and drawing in greeting page to follow your paid promotion. Since you will make a different greeting page for every promotion gathering, you ought to have the option to effortlessly follow lead changes either in the Google Ads interface by means of a following pixel, or through UTM boundaries, in case you're utilizing an instrument like login4ites.

Offer advancement is extraordinary in case you're running a restricted time offer, item or administration discou

Your Small Business Guide on How to SEO WordPress — Mike Marko

“Your Small Business Guide on How to SEO WordPress” written by Mike Marko.

Have you been struggling to put your website at the top of Google search ranking?

I know it’s not easy…

As an internet marketer myself, I understand how important it is to rank high on Google search and, of course, how complicated it can be sometimes.

Websites are a vital part of a business. By having a website, you can reach millions of people all around the world and hook them to purchase your products or services.

But what platform should you use to build your website?

Personally, for most websites I prefer WordPress. WordPress dominates 27% of the websites all over the world.

But the truth is, it doesn’t really matter what website builder you use .

What does matter is how you optimize your site to be ranked by search engines (simply called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO).

If you already used WordPress for your website, or if you’re planning to use it, you need to make sure you properly apply proper SEO on it.

That’s why in this blog post, I’ll tackle in length how to SEO WordPress. I will reveal the ultimate secrets to help you perform SEO excellently on your WordPress site.

How to SEO WordPress Sites Easily

Basically, SEO and WordPress complement each other so well. WordPress is so user-friendly that even non-techies can easily implement some simple search engine optimization techniques.

This is also great news for small local businesses which may not have the budget for sweeping SEO improvements or hiring SEO experts, but still want to rank better in local search.

If you really want to make the most of your website, then it’s time that you learnhow to SEO WordPressthe right way.

Now, let’s start by discussing one of the most important aspects of a website… content.

Optimize Your Site’s Content

Content seems like an obvious SEO factor to consider. Search engine and your readers are the most important part in the content processing. Both of them wants high quality and unique content.

To start optimizing your content, make sure it’s understandable and readable. Your thoughts and ideas should have a nice flow to make it easy for readers to comprehend and relate.

Also, choosing a niche and focusing on it can help in making sure you have relevant content.

Avoid creating random content that could just confuse your audience.

Your content should be written primarily for visitors, not for search engines. Sometimes, authors tend to overuse keywords that makes the whole blog content full of useless words.

Be extra mindful of using keywords. You can choose and use keywords that are relevant to your niche.

To learn more about the importance of keywords and how to use them, make sure to read my blogSEO Tips and Tricks to Achieve Better Ranking.

Using and Exchanging Backlinks

Backlinks make a huge impact on a website’s prominence in search engine results.

A backlink is a hyperlink that links from a webpage back to your own webpage or website. This is considered a very useful technique for improving a website’s SEO ranking.

To make a strong backlink, you must exchange link with websites that have good SEO performance and have with a relevant niche with you. With that, make sure that your content complements the webpage you would link to.

Aside from using backlinks, you can also link a page from your website to another page still within your own site. This is known as interlinking.

When applying backlinks or interlinks, make sure the pages being linked are relevant to each other.

Don’t link every page to all your fresh content.

Put Title to Your Images

Images play an important role in optimizing the content for search engine ranking. That’s why it’s vital that you ensure your photos are high quality.

You also need to place the right images in your content. For example, if your content talks about healthy dogs, then the image you should put is an image of a strong, happy dog, not photos of apples or a workout.

Aside from that, another important thing is to name your images properly. Giving your images the right title (also known as Alt text) is important to boost SEO.

Google also draws images in the calculation of the ranking. Images that are titled with “<img src=”wordpressseo.jpg” alt=”how to SEO WordPress”> works better than <img src=”wordpressseo.jpg” alt=”/>.

That’s an example of how to properly implement keywords of a specific subject in the file name of your images. Always make use the alt text for your images.

It’s important that you include alt text on your images because it helps you improve the SEO and accessibility of your website.

Use Short Permalinks, Including Keywords

Permalink plays an important role on how to SEO WordPress site and get acknowledged by Google. Permalink is the URL to a certain page, post, or an article on your website.

Make sure to use an understandable permalink. Instead of http://yourwebsite.com/page-id?495/ use http://yourwebsite.com/how-to-seo-wordpress/.

You can customize your links right at the topmost part of the ‘Write a Post’ section below the ‘Edit Post.’

In your permalinks, only the first four words are important to Google. If you have a page title that is longer than 4 words, make use of keywords to your permalink structure.

Good permalink structure doesn’t only help in boosting SEO of your site, but it also helps in catching readers. When you have a simple permalink, your readers can easily identify what your link is all about.

Make Use of SEO Themes

Themes are the foundation of a good quality website. It can even make up and break up a WordPress site. That means if your site is dull and slow, it may not attract internet users. On the other hand, beautiful, organized, and fast websites get better attention.

When choosing your WordPress theme, make sure that you use fast performing designs. WordPress-enhanced themes are good for your Google ranking. It helps in getting your viewer’s attention and interest.

To identify if a theme is fast-performing or not, you can look up on their codes. Some themes use a lot of codes to create the layout and design.

The more code you have, the less content and keyword density. This makes your theme unproductive for your WordPress site.

It’s also a factor to choose themes according to your website’s niche. You can use themes that are minimalistic, but not too boring.

You can also use colorful themes. However, make sure that it’s not too bright. It’s important that you don’t use themes so “bright” such that you can read the text.  

Create a Sitemap in XML Format

XML sitemap (Extensible Markup Language Sitemap) is a list of your website’s URLs. It acts as a roadmap to tell search engines what content is available for ranking.

XML sitemaps also help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.com to better index your site, or to better determine a particular site or location of the site. Make use of a plugin that supports all kinds of WordPress-generated pages as well as custom URLs

To make your creation of Google XML Sitemap an easy task, you can use Google XML Sitemaps. You only have to install the app Google XML Sitemaps plugin.

Upon activation, go to Settings » XML Sitemap to configure the plugin.

Link Posts to Social Media

Using social media is one of the most effective strategies to gain leads and drive traffic quickly. It is also one of the biggest help in boosting SEO to your Website.

One post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter allow you to get recognized by search engines. Posting on social media increases the visibility of your content—which is ultimately the goal of SEO.

With that said, it’s vital to link your posts to social media to build brand awareness. The more you share on your social media, the more you get authentic readers and visitors.

There are also social media plugins like Sassy Social Share and AddtoAny you can find on WordPress. A preview of your posts from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter will immediately be posted on your WordPress home.

Update Your Posts Frequently

Once your WordPress site is active, it’s vital that you keep your posts coming. It’s more of keeping your visitors and readers entertained than keeping them waiting for more content.

Aside from that, Google’s algorithms also consider the frequency of content when deciding how to rank your pages. That means, the more you post new content, the more chances Google boosts your site.

You can post at least twice a week to update your website with new content.  Remember, newer, ‘fresher’ content gets better Google boosts.

So, aside from frequently publishing content, you also have to make sure that your content is unique and original.

Monday 30th March

MONDAY 30TH MARCH:

WHAT’S THE PLAN FOR THIS WEEK?

EI: The site’s getting there. We have two pages, one for Text, and one for a homepage. There’s a few minor issues with formatting/sizing etc, but on the whole it’s looking okay. Let’s get a domain name and try putting it online… Let’s get that done by 12pm… 11:16

EI: I bought the domain name thevds.xyz and have managed to get the homepage up! Next step is to make the links work, and fix the ‘virtual design studio’ page, which is essentially the about page! 13:55

WEDNESDAY 1ST APRIL: DISCUSSING THE TO DO LIST.

EI: how do we make a data dictionary for the virtual design studio? 13:59

TF: It turns out this is something that I've been thinking about on and off over the last few years. Just a few weeks ago, I wrote about having a data dictionary for the UDK, and of course this could lead to a community designed data dictionary. I figured it was worth another shot and looked for some data that would be appropriate for the virtual design studio. The first thing I looked at was the Illumination wiki, which provides an enormous amount of data about your design studio from all of your major tools, as well as some secondary (Gif, audio, etc.) data. The key lines are where to find all of this stuff – Sb (not sure what that stands for.. 14:00

EI: A Community designed data dictionary, huh? That could be good… I’ll have a look at the illumination Wiki. 14:03

EI: I’m not sure which Illumination wiki in particular you’re referring to- one seems to be a media company. I wonder what data can be derived from our major tools… GIF, Audio are definitely good starting points. But there do we start for the VDS? 14:05

TF: Well as we've mentioned already this idea is to create graphics from scratch. Basically with Photoshop. Or any other design program. That could be Photoshop. Illustrator. Krita. Inkscape. We should start with our graphical objects and tools like sketch, photo. Create our own ideas as we went along and turn these into usable images that our business or team can use. You don't have to be an artist to do this. (I can only do vector graphics so that's what I'm doing currently but it's pretty simple if you want to try something new.) 14:06

EI: How can you make vector graphics? You’re just a transformer. 14:07

TF: Of course, being a transformer, you can change into a graphic design. Though, remember, there are other ways to spend your time. Just look at the tools that are available today, say, the ones that you will receive when you register for the first CSS Boot Camp. 14:08

EI: I've already made some graphics for the Virtual Design Studio identity on illustrator and exported them as SVG for the website. I'm wondering how to create more narratives or contexts for new graphics/images and drawings, and what that might look like. What do you think? 14:10

TF: Any suggestions for ideas for a logo for Level 9? 14:11

EI: what’s level 9 of the virtual design studio, and why does it need a logo? 14:11

TF: Not all designers, yes; but some. We want to increase the competence level of our teams. Level 9 is there for the team's daily needs.

Also the big "The Vision" found at the top. We just wanted to say, what's the vision? How can we make the website better? How can we improve things? What have you learnt?

Design your own logo. If you have questions, contact the design team, as we can answer them. This is one way of supporting the team. Your favourite logo design tool? Rebrand your company! And why not? It's not like we don't support our own 14:13

EI: Ok, so let's get back to the team members of the virtual design studio. There's Emma the Human, Botnik, Transformer. What other skills and people might we need? 14:14

TF:  No one would even know if anyone could be an asset to our company.So let's continue the various stuff I did to get bots to work:

Demo the different options for setting the shots. I got a robot that was so hard to handle that I couldn't see why the team was spending so much time working on it.

Here's some sample example footage of Botnik in action:

What's the problem I asked myself in these experiments? How do I get a robot to move at the right speed and consistently? 14:15

EI: But if we think about it, we need *other* skills; we need to outsource things we aren’t already doing. Like drawing for example. Let’s find an intelligence who is an expert at drawing, and ask them to help us generate some stuff. Only question is, what are we generating and why? 14:17

TF: Anybody who knows how to draw will have no problem passing our test, because at least half of the time it will be something of worth. Think about that. * We're looking for a person who can produce art. * Somebody who can produce art can work for us, and not be completely unproductive, it turns out. 14:18

EI: I think I know someone… 14:18

EI: She’s called Quick, Draw!, and I think she can help us with some images, or doodles of certain things. What should we ask her for first in relation to the virtual design studio?  14:20

TF: First, you should be clear what you are wanting from the virtual studio. Do you want a full user interface design session, full stop? If so, that would be really cool, but not what this project is about. You may want a non-digital process such as art direction or actual design work and not just a design document for you to download. You may want to work with Quick, Draw! in-person. Do not have in mind a "completely digital process." 14:21

EI: I think it would be good to make an illustration of what we are. I’ll ask. 14:22

EI: Ok, so I’ve been and asked, and the images aren’t actual image files. I think they’re drawn in Json, or Javasript somehow, but they’re numbered, and they’ve been logged with places and dates, and how fast Quick, Draw! Identified them and what they’re drawings of. So I called up all the computer drawings, and there’s 117,460 of them. 14:32

EI: This is making me wonder what virtual narratives might look like, and how we can potentially begin to pull these drawings, perhaps randomise them with tags, and then generate illustrated, virtual, narratives. 14:33

EI: That said, this has a very limited vocabulary, and I think we need to find alternative intelligences that are capable of recognising imagery of a greater number of categories. 14:36

EI: I’m currently searching for AI that can draw, or any kind of AI that can make images. There’s quite a few that are capable of identifying images, but not a lot that are capable of producing an image when prompted. 14:41

EI: OH MY GOD. I’ve just found an AI that makes COLLAGES. I’ve typed a brief description into it, and the image re-renders every time you add a new letter. It’s SUPER weird.

“virtual design studio sat at their desks doing work for the virtual design studio. they make images about the internet and human interaction with computers and the problems that occur when the real and the virtual are separated” is what I typed in. Here’s what it made

EI: It’s so bad at doing what it’s supposed to do that it’s actually good. It starts to create things that allude to what we’re talking about here at VDS, but it also it completely does not make any sense. It’s like those pictures that are really ambiguous and you’re asked by a psychologist “what do you see here?” to try and diagnose what’s wrong with you etc. When in actual fact, these are completely perfect to the “clutching at straws nothingness” that the territory of the project resides in. 14:51

EI: OK, this is actually phenomenal and is everything I didn’t know I needed from an image generator. I’m actually feeling a little overwhelmed because I’m not sure I can do justice to everything this is producing; like how do I even handle and manage this? I’ve just gone through and saved all of the images. https://experiments.runwayml.com/generative_engine/ has created. I don’t even know what it’s called. It’s an experiment and a generative engine. Like, how do I begin to decide what to do with this next? Because what I just did was quite time consuming, but the result are VERY worth it. I think this is where the notions of CARE that Laura Potter was talking about on monday come into play. This is  a powerful tool, and I have to be very careful with how I use it; what I ask it to do etc. 15:11

EI: I only found it because some news platform had written an article about it, saying how BAD it was. But, in fact, what it does is “hubristically tries to assert meaning meaninglessly where there is none”. I think it’s the same with the other intelligences I’ve employed to work for the studio. But, Congratulations Gengine (Generative Engine), you’re in the crew. 15:13.

EI: Right, so I’ve spent the past few hours plugging in words to the Image Generation Engine, and in return I’ve gotten some amazing stuff. The final task was plugging in the ‘living internet’ text, and then recording the playback and saving the images. Yes. All 480 of them. Individually. But that’s ok. I’ll need to make a gif of it, and I’d like to make some drawings from some of them. So that’s perhaps a task to start after dinner or tomorrow. The other thing it’s made me think is that I need to plug the text statements that Botnik made the other day into them. In particular the one that starts with ‘hands’ or ‘death’. I’d also like to put each of the categories of ‘living internet’ into it, as I feel like each category will end up having its own unique image aesthetic. Perhaps then I can make more drawings, or this will prompt more text pieces. Overall I just need to manifest the ‘nothingness’ that the project is about, and the truth is there’s very little to hold onto. So I guess it’s using the internet to analyse itself, but also using the internet to provide commentary on itself, and the theory that goes with it. Clearly the context report was GOOD- we just have to continue in the same way we did then- take the feeling and run with it.

I’d also like to teach botnik to set tasks for the studio. I’m not sure how I’d do this. Perhaps it’s by writing down the tasks we’ve already done (a bit like this) and then using his predictions to write and designate new tasks. I don’t know if plugging this script into him will do that. It might struggle to generate NEW content, but maybe that’s ok. Perhaps reworking the old is enough for now, and then the studio feedback loop will allow progress to occur, as transformer can be asked to comment on Botnik’s tasks, and that will push us into new territories.

Since I’ve mentioned feedback loops, it might be a good idea to start to document what these look like for the individual pieces that seem to be emerging. 17:40

This might be something along the lines of diagrams for the audio clip we recorded the other day, and then maybe making the GIF and drawing a system diagram/feedback loop/production line for it. This way we can spot patterns and begin to explore/exploit them. 17:41

I also need some help pinning down exactly what we’re tapping into here, and articulating that. I’m not sure if I should ask matt to describe what he sees on friday, or if something else would be more beneficial/helpful. That’s something to think about. Perhaps there’s an online bot that can write copy text or that can make a summary document? I don’t know. But it’s something I’m aware is lacking. But, maybe it’s not something that CAN be articulated in words. Maybe the articulation needs to be communicated through practice, presentation and execution, as those are equally credible modes, just not often regarded as highly as language. AND, maybe the best method of articulation is via setting up and running the studio (that’s the tool) and then employing sub-tools and devices that each serve an independent purpose and deliver independent deliverables/outcomes/articulations of the overall theme/struggle and nothingness. 17:45

A common introduction to SEO

Our Advertising Issues blogs are primarily aimed toward business house owners and administration teams working for start-up enterprises and impressive SMEs in and around the London space. Nevertheless, the identical primary rules apply for bigger organisations and blue chip corporations working across the UK, Europe and globally. So hopefully this text shall be of interest to anyone wanting to know extra about SEO. You haven’t any doubt heard a lot about search engine optimisation (SEO). It’s a type of subjects which is well known, but not necessarily properly understood, nor in truth that nicely delivered. And that is why so many SEO methods are wasteful, at the very least to a point. Partially, this is the motivation behind this article, to assist you to to make a more knowledgeable determination. It is perhaps that your present SEO actions are harmful or unhelpful. Google releases updates on a regular foundation that penalise anybody who tries to beat the system. Within the last 15-20 years, the warfare between Google and SEO activists has been fought in an ever extra refined approach. Put fairly merely, solely white hat methods and techniques will now work in the long run. Gray hat activities may give you some medium-term advantages, but they may ultimately catch you out. And black hat actions that ship on the spot outcomes will ensure you pay a large penalty when (and never if) you’re caught out.

Serving up related outcomes

The rationale for that is value desirous about. Google needs to serve up the absolute best results to its clients. And you’re extremely doubtless to be a Google buyer too from time to time, so that is something which can also be demanded by you. All of us want top quality results. If I’m looking for – say – “the best UK triathlon races in 2019”, each myself and Google need to ensure we get the appropriate results. And meaning the outcomes need to fit the needs of the search, so there isn’t any point getting details about triathlon gear or the most effective walking routes. If I don’t get the results I would like, I shall go elsewhere, comparable to to Bing. That’s an essential point. You don’t have to search on Google, but because about 90% of all UK search engine visitors comes by way of Google, you could be pretty positive that for those who give attention to getting your SEO proper on Google, then additionally, you will do properly on Bing (which accounts for just about all the other search visitors in the UK). So, Google and Bing are wanting for reliable results. Meaning they’re going to give extra weight to web sites with robust reputations which were around a while, relatively than these which have popped up in the previous few months. And they’re going to rank web sites highly if they’ve backlinks from relevant and reputable third get together web sites with excessive authority domain scores. This in a nutshell is what SEO is all about.

Useful guides to search engine optimisation

There are methods to enhance your web site’s optimisation and there are numerous instruments you should use to show you how to to achieve this purpose. In all probability one of the best place to start is to take a look at Google’s SEO Information for 2019 which just about tells you the whole lot you want to know. It’s a web-based device which sits within Search Console, so it is continuously up to date. Another place to look for wonderful recommendation is SearchEngineLand’s Periodic Desk of SEO. You want to present your e-mail tackle to achieve access, but this seems a small worth to pay for such a heavyweight guide. They replace it on a common foundation, and the newest format is a 15-page PDF which explains the way it all works, in layman’s language. There are six key elements to think about – content material, structure, HTML, trust, hyperlinks and consumer – and each factor has a variety of element elements of various weighting that want to be addressed. It also warns you about toxins (i.e. something naughty that you simply simply should not do) and rising verticals (essential new elements to keep in mind like local, voice, picture and video). In fact, layman’s language is a subjective time period. I personally don’t assume anybody however a specialist ought to be delivering SEO, and so while it’d nicely be that this all looks like quantum physics to you, that’s OK and fairly regular. All you need to know as a business proprietor is what needs to be delivered by your SEO specialist so you’ll be able to ask the appropriate questions. And whilst I might additionally advocate a totally different staff deliver paid promoting on search (comparable to Google Advertisements (the newish identify for Google AdWords) and Microsoft Promoting (the model new identify for Bing Advertisements), the paid and natural teams ought to undoubtedly be working intently collectively.

Be sure to select the best key phrases

Some of the necessary things to determine upon earlier than investing in SEO is the keywords that you simply want to be found for. As an example, Abacus focuses on three main keywords (advertising company, advertising firm and advertising agency), which, with plurals, prefixes (reminiscent of integrated or digital) and suffixes (similar to London or M25) account for multiple variations. After which we all the time speak around our material in regards to the providers we offer (e.g. company branding, digital promoting, and website design and improvement) or the options we remedy for our shoppers (e.g. producing sales leads, enhancing conversion ranges and growing customer lifetime value), and this sends out robust alerts to Google about Abacus Advertising – who we are and what we do. Why not attempt it for yourselves? Search for “integrated marketing agencies in London” and you must discover that Abacus seems on the first page of both Google and Bing. So how do you go about discovering the most effective key phrases for your business to concentrate on for SEO purposes? Nicely, you clearly need to relate them to what you do as an organisation when it comes to the services you provide and the ache points you seek to overcome for your clients. That’s obvious. But you additionally need to think about what your rivals are doing. It might be that the obvious keywords will not be the proper ones for your SEO strategy. They could be too aggressive or too generic. That’s why Abacus Advertising doesn’t compete for “marketing agencies” without a suffix or prefix like “London”. We obtain adequate visitors volumes from “marketing agency in London” which are related to the geographical space we serve. They’re also subsequently top quality too. Probably the greatest ways to determine your only key phrases is to run a PPC marketing campaign for – say – three months, to get some top quality market intel beneath your belt. This can enable you to to see how much search visitors there really is for every keyword, and the fee per click on (CPC) will provide you with a clear concept of how competitive every keyword is just too. You can even achieve a lot of insights into what rivals are doing from the paid advertising dashboards. None of that is potential from analysing Google Analytics, at the least to any diploma of sophistication. There’s some evidence to recommend that a small PPC campaign also can help an SEO campaign by signalling the keywords you would like to be discovered for to Google. While we might not grasp our hat on this hypothesis as being reality, it feels logical and intuitive to me and actually we have now had some success with this strategy lately, even when bidding less than is important to truly appear on the first few pages (in other words, you don’t truly spend any price range). So it is perhaps something for you to think about too…

Why do you have to spend money on SEO?

But you may ask why you need to spend money on an SEO strategy in any respect, especially because the outcomes will not be guaranteed and can take months to obtain. Nicely, the answer is that natural search outcomes (i.e. non-paid ones) are extra trusted by customers than paid advertisements. We might recommend this could possibly be by a issue of up to x10. And meaning you’re all the time on the back foot if someone finds you thru a paid promoting medium. Additionally, there’s an implicit belief one feels when clicking on a pure search end result served up by Google. The other purpose is value. We estimate that SEO might be cheaper than PPC by a issue of up to x10 too. As soon as you’re on the primary web page, you’re all the time there, day and night time, each time someone is looking, so long as you keep your activities and continue to do the best factor. That signifies that, general, one might argue that SEO is x100 occasions as efficient and environment friendly as PPC – or that each £1 spent on SEO would wish £1000 spent on PPC to see comparable outcomes. In fact, issues are never fairly as black and white as this in the fantastic world of selling, so there are all the time conditions when a PPC strategy will in reality be the best one for your business (resembling to get prompt leads) – but it is definitely value serious about.

I had an ok week. Some final duplicates work is done, and there is some polishing to the new tag autocomplete.

duplicates

The duplicates filter can now detect if static images with the same resolution are pixel-for-pixel duplicates! If they are, it gives one of the standard 'comparison' statements on the right hover window. Furthermore, if one file is a png and the other not, this statement will colour green/red and bias heavily to the non-png, since the png is likely a bloated 'clipboard' duplicate that you don't want. Pixel summary data is not cached long-term, so this routine takes a bit of extra CPU. It only kicks in if both files are images with the same res, but nonetheless please let me know if this makes the duplicate filter too laggy for you. I expect the new 'pixel hash' data will be cached at the db level in future to auto-resolve png/not-png dupes like this.

Also, the duplicate filter will now match the two files' zooms even if their resolution ratio differs! Zoom is now locked so the two files' widths are matched, along with the files' top-left corners. Two files with resolution 1920x1080 and 1912x1080 will now line up pretty good even if you zoom and pan.

And I have written a new system predicate for whether a file is the best file of its duplicate group (also called the 'king'). It provides an easy way to find only the best files, or only those that are not the best. It is bundled with the old 'num duplicate relationships' system predicate under the new 'system:file relationships' predicate.

I also fixed an issue with the 'custom action' button that wasn't letting custom actions go through unless some file was deleted--the final deletion question dialog now has a 'delete neither' choice, which is the default.

And if you want to feel some despair, Mr Bones now reports potential, duplicate, and alternate counts.

The duplicates storage overhaul is pretty much done. There is plenty more I could do, but I have now finished the main db focus of the work. Beyond some final UI stuff, there is only some decent new help to write. I would like to have that done next week, so I can draw a line under this job. It was more work than I expected, but I am overall really happy with it.

tag autocomplete

Last week's autocomplete changes seem to have overall gone pretty well. However, being able to search so fast has revealed some old 'limiters' I had in place to stop certain super laggy searches going ahead. And some old wildcard logic was flawed. Now we have more power with this control, I have been able to clean it up a bit.

First off, entering something like 'character:*' should now work everywhere (although it will likely lag a whole bunch once the final results come in). Also, searches with an explicit namespace, like 'character:ara', will now match 'character:samus aran', just as the simpler 'ara' does. Wildcard searches, like 'char*:sam' or 'c*r:*mus' should be a bit more sensible overall, finding more possible results and matching complicated queries more reliably.

And 'media' autocomplete fetches, which happens on a search page when you start typing with thumbnails already loaded, should also be much faster now (they were lagging last week with high numbers of thumbs). I improved the media search efficiency and added similar 'cancel' tech as I did to the db search last week, so it should now be fairly smooth and fast, even up to 10,000 files in view.

the rest

Just a note: system:size is now system:filesize.

Also, if you are a Linux user, or I have otherwise previously suggested you turn on the options->media->BUGFIX: Load images with PIL option, please check that option again this week and try turning it off. There was a time when PIL was more reliable than OpenCV--the other image library I use--but now things seem to be the other way around, and OpenCV is significantly faster too.

A user reported to me recently that he had an external hard drive he had hydrus installed to die due to overheating. It looks like it was related to heavy hydrus import folder work. This is the first time I have heard of something like this, but it still concerns me a lot. If you are running from a drive that can get similarly very hot, I strongly recommend you ensure you are not running any very heavy, hour-long-plus import or repository processing jobs on it. In the meantime, I will write some pause/throttle options for all the big routines to help users reduce load according to their situations.

full list

duplicates:

the duplicate filter now compares the pixel content of static image pairs of the same resolution--if they have the exact same pixels, a comparison statement is added, and if one file is a png and the other not (i.e. the png is likely a useless clipboard copy), the statement notes this and a strong duplicate score is applied

added 'system:is/is not best file of its group' to search for file kings

renamed 'system:num duplicate relationships' to 'system:num file relationships'

wrapped the two file relationship system predicates into one 'system:file relationships' stub predicate that opens to a dialog with two pred panels

added a 'add potential pairs' command to the thumbnail right-click file relationships menu, which will force-queue files for the duplicates filter

the duplicate filter now ensures the two medias' zoom is locked so they have the same width through a transition. furthermore, their current dragged top-left position is pinned in the same location. this ensures files that have slightly different resolution ratios (especially when they are just a couple of pixels off) still remain reasonably comparable when switching back and forth

reworked and simplified how position/drag delta is handled in the media canvas to support the above

fixed the 'custom action' button on the duplicate filter, which had no 'delete neither' choice and whose 'forget it' button cancelled the whole custom operation, making it impossible to custom action without deleting something. I have added a 'delete neither' green-text button to the front, as the default action

mr bones now reports on your potential, duplicate, and alternates numbers

.

tag autocomplete:

greatly sped up tag autocomplete search when fetching from a current media view (i.e. from thumbnails in the search page)--it had some CPU-inefficient testing/counting that mattered at high media/tag counts

greatly improved cancelability of tag autocomplete search when pulling from a current media view--this was resulting in high lag when typing fast with multi-thousand results

fixed the gui-level tag matching test to match namespaced search inputs with offset subtags (e.g. 'character:aran' now matches 'character:samus aran'), both for wildcard and specific namespaces

when typing an explicit wildcard tag search that does not end in a *, you will now be presented with two wildcard options--one with the implicit * suffix, one without

fixed 'write' tag autocomplete inputs (like in manage tags) being able to search for chunky 'namespace:*' explicit wildcard searches

.

the rest:

fixed the ipfs nocopy path translation control saving rows for client file paths outside of the main install path for non-Windows, where it was forgetting on save

renamed 'system:size' to 'system:filesize'

sped up some system:inbox searches

disabled a PIL 'load truncated images' backup mode, which on the current version can seemingly lead to infinite load hangs

file report mode now prints info when it deletes/recycles a path, including stack traces

fixed a long-running and silent 'port already running' bug related to setting services on the server that was stopping successful service-set-restart from the client in many situations. 'port is already running' checks that conflict with other processes will now give an immediate error to the client without saving any changes

the server now prints to the log as it stops/starts/has started its services

improved how the server can report certain 500 errors

the 'critical service tag/file reference' repository processing error has been improved: rather than reset the whole repository, it now pauses the repo and resets processing status for just the repo's 'definition' update files (without deleting any existing entries, so they should ultimately reprocess super fast) and also schedules a complete integrity and metadata check for all updated files

keyboard interrupts from the console should now trigger a clean exit request for the client

polite and forced shutdown requests when logging off should now trigger a fast exit (i.e. no yes/no dialog, no shutdown maintenance, but otherwise session saved and so on) for the client. this fast exit is noted in the log

moved the tag and rating service listctrls in duplicate merge options panel to the new listctrl object

moved the manage regex favourites listctrl to the new object

updated a bunch of yes/no dialogs to the new panel system

deleted some old unused dialog code and related unit tests

fixed up deletion-and-reimport file location handling for lingering media objects, which were not correctly forgetting combined local file deletion record on the reimport

improved shutdown error handling during repo processing

deleted the mishimmie default downloader

next week

The duplicates help, is the top thing. I need to draw some diagrams, take some new screenshots, and brush up the existing text to better explain the new system. After that, I will catch up on small jobs. I'd love to have multiple system:hash search added (for searching a bunch of md5s, say), maybe some subscription thumbnail publishing cleanup, and perhaps some Client API work, where I'd like to have web browser cookie import for easy login.

Once the duplicate work is done, I expect to do a little work on audio support, likely basic 'has audio' metadata for files, and then crash on some client/tag-repository & PTR overhaul.

A common introduction to SEO

Our Advertising Issues blogs are primarily aimed toward business house owners and administration teams working for start-up enterprises and impressive SMEs in and around the London space. Nevertheless, the identical primary rules apply for bigger organisations and blue chip corporations working across the UK, Europe and globally. So hopefully this text shall be of interest to anyone wanting to know extra about SEO. You haven’t any doubt heard a lot about search engine optimisation (SEO). It’s a type of subjects which is well known, but not necessarily properly understood, nor in truth that nicely delivered. And that is why so many SEO methods are wasteful, at the very least to a point. Partially, this is the motivation behind this article, to assist you to to make a more knowledgeable determination. It is perhaps that your present SEO actions are harmful or unhelpful. Google releases updates on a regular foundation that penalise anybody who tries to beat the system. Within the last 15-20 years, the warfare between Google and SEO activists has been fought in an ever extra refined approach. Put fairly merely, solely white hat methods and techniques will now work in the long run. Gray hat activities may give you some medium-term advantages, but they may ultimately catch you out. And black hat actions that ship on the spot outcomes will ensure you pay a large penalty when (and never if) you’re caught out.

Serving up related outcomes

The rationale for that is value desirous about. Google needs to serve up the absolute best results to its clients. And you’re extremely doubtless to be a Google buyer too from time to time, so that is something which can also be demanded by you. All of us want top quality results. If I’m looking for – say – “the best UK triathlon races in 2019”, each myself and Google need to ensure we get the appropriate results. And meaning the outcomes need to fit the needs of the search, so there isn’t any point getting details about triathlon gear or the most effective walking routes. If I don’t get the results I would like, I shall go elsewhere, comparable to to Bing. That’s an essential point. You don’t have to search on Google, but because about 90% of all UK search engine visitors comes by way of Google, you could be pretty positive that for those who give attention to getting your SEO proper on Google, then additionally, you will do properly on Bing (which accounts for just about all the other search visitors in the UK). So, Google and Bing are wanting for reliable results. Meaning they’re going to give extra weight to web sites with robust reputations which were around a while, relatively than these which have popped up in the previous few months. And they’re going to rank web sites highly if they’ve backlinks from relevant and reputable third get together web sites with excessive authority domain scores. This in a nutshell is what SEO is all about.

Useful guides to search engine optimisation

There are methods to enhance your web site’s optimisation and there are numerous instruments you should use to show you how to to achieve this purpose. In all probability one of the best place to start is to take a look at Google’s SEO Information for 2019 which just about tells you the whole lot you want to know. It’s a web-based device which sits within Search Console, so it is continuously up to date. Another place to look for wonderful recommendation is SearchEngineLand’s Periodic Desk of SEO. You want to present your e-mail tackle to achieve access, but this seems a small worth to pay for such a heavyweight guide. They replace it on a common foundation, and the newest format is a 15-page PDF which explains the way it all works, in layman’s language. There are six key elements to think about – content material, structure, HTML, trust, hyperlinks and consumer – and each factor has a variety of element elements of various weighting that want to be addressed. It also warns you about toxins (i.e. something naughty that you simply simply should not do) and rising verticals (essential new elements to keep in mind like local, voice, picture and video). In fact, layman’s language is a subjective time period. I personally don’t assume anybody however a specialist ought to be delivering SEO, and so while it’d nicely be that this all looks like quantum physics to you, that’s OK and fairly regular. All you need to know as a business proprietor is what needs to be delivered by your SEO specialist so you’ll be able to ask the appropriate questions. And whilst I might additionally advocate a totally different staff deliver paid promoting on search (comparable to Google Advertisements (the newish identify for Google AdWords) and Microsoft Promoting (the model new identify for Bing Advertisements), the paid and natural teams ought to undoubtedly be working intently collectively.

Be sure to select the best key phrases

Some of the necessary things to determine upon earlier than investing in SEO is the keywords that you simply want to be found for. As an example, Abacus focuses on three main keywords (advertising company, advertising firm and advertising agency), which, with plurals, prefixes (reminiscent of integrated or digital) and suffixes (similar to London or M25) account for multiple variations. After which we all the time speak around our material in regards to the providers we offer (e.g. company branding, digital promoting, and website design and improvement) or the options we remedy for our shoppers (e.g. producing sales leads, enhancing conversion ranges and growing customer lifetime value), and this sends out robust alerts to Google about Abacus Advertising – who we are and what we do. Why not attempt it for yourselves? Search for “integrated marketing agencies in London” and you must discover that Abacus seems on the first page of both Google and Bing. So how do you go about discovering the most effective key phrases for your business to concentrate on for SEO purposes? Nicely, you clearly need to relate them to what you do as an organisation when it comes to the services you provide and the ache points you seek to overcome for your clients. That’s obvious. But you additionally need to think about what your rivals are doing. It might be that the obvious keywords will not be the proper ones for your SEO strategy. They could be too aggressive or too generic. That’s why Abacus Advertising doesn’t compete for “marketing agencies” without a suffix or prefix like “London”. We obtain adequate visitors volumes from “marketing agency in London” which are related to the geographical space we serve. They’re also subsequently top quality too. Probably the greatest ways to determine your only key phrases is to run a PPC marketing campaign for – say – three months, to get some top quality market intel beneath your belt. This can enable you to to see how much search visitors there really is for every keyword, and the fee per click on (CPC) will provide you with a clear concept of how competitive every keyword is just too. You can even achieve a lot of insights into what rivals are doing from the paid advertising dashboards. None of that is potential from analysing Google Analytics, at the least to any diploma of sophistication. There’s some evidence to recommend that a small PPC campaign also can help an SEO campaign by signalling the keywords you would like to be discovered for to Google. While we might not grasp our hat on this hypothesis as being reality, it feels logical and intuitive to me and actually we have now had some success with this strategy lately, even when bidding less than is important to truly appear on the first few pages (in other words, you don’t truly spend any price range). So it is perhaps something for you to think about too…

Why do you have to spend money on SEO?

But you may ask why you need to spend money on an SEO strategy in any respect, especially because the outcomes will not be guaranteed and can take months to obtain. Nicely, the answer is that natural search outcomes (i.e. non-paid ones) are extra trusted by customers than paid advertisements. We might recommend this could possibly be by a issue of up to x10. And meaning you’re all the time on the back foot if someone finds you thru a paid promoting medium. Additionally, there’s an implicit belief one feels when clicking on a pure search end result served up by Google. The other purpose is value. We estimate that SEO might be cheaper than PPC by a issue of up to x10 too. As soon as you’re on the primary web page, you’re all the time there, day and night time, each time someone is looking, so long as you keep your activities and continue to do the best factor. That signifies that, general, one might argue that SEO is x100 occasions as efficient and environment friendly as PPC – or that each £1 spent on SEO would wish £1000 spent on PPC to see comparable outcomes. In fact, issues are never fairly as black and white as this in the fantastic world of selling, so there are all the time conditions when a PPC strategy will in reality be the best one for your business (resembling to get prompt leads) – but it is definitely value serious about. And although the holy grail of SEO is all the time going to be about appearing on the first web page of Google, ideally in one of the three prime listings and preferably excessive up on the local map listings too, don’t knock outcomes that seem on Page 2 or three utterly.

A common introduction to SEO

Our Advertising Issues blogs are primarily aimed toward business house owners and administration teams working for start-up enterprises and impressive SMEs in and around the London space. Nevertheless, the identical primary rules apply for bigger organisations and blue chip corporations working across the UK, Europe and globally. So hopefully this text shall be of interest to anyone wanting to know extra about SEO. You haven’t any doubt heard a lot about search engine optimisation (SEO). It’s a type of subjects which is well known, but not necessarily properly understood, nor in truth that nicely delivered. And that is why so many SEO methods are wasteful, at the very least to a point. Partially, this is the motivation behind this article, to assist you to to make a more knowledgeable determination. It is perhaps that your present SEO actions are harmful or unhelpful. Google releases updates on a regular foundation that penalise anybody who tries to beat the system. Within the last 15-20 years, the warfare between Google and SEO activists has been fought in an ever extra refined approach. Put fairly merely, solely white hat methods and techniques will now work in the long run. Gray hat activities may give you some medium-term advantages, but they may ultimately catch you out. And black hat actions that ship on the spot outcomes will ensure you pay a large penalty when (and never if) you’re caught out.

Serving up related outcomes

The rationale for that is value desirous about. Google needs to serve up the absolute best results to its clients. And you’re extremely doubtless to be a Google buyer too from time to time, so that is something which can also be demanded by you. All of us want top quality results. If I’m looking for – say – “the best UK triathlon races in 2019”, each myself and Google need to ensure we get the appropriate results. And meaning the outcomes need to fit the needs of the search, so there isn’t any point getting details about triathlon gear or the most effective walking routes. If I don’t get the results I would like, I shall go elsewhere, comparable to to Bing. That’s an essential point. You don’t have to search on Google, but because about 90% of all UK search engine visitors comes by way of Google, you could be pretty positive that for those who give attention to getting your SEO proper on Google, then additionally, you will do properly on Bing (which accounts for just about all the other search visitors in the UK). So, Google and Bing are wanting for reliable results. Meaning they’re going to give extra weight to web sites with robust reputations which were around a while, relatively than these which have popped up in the previous few months. And they’re going to rank web sites highly if they’ve backlinks from relevant and reputable third get together web sites with excessive authority domain scores. This in a nutshell is what SEO is all about.

Useful guides to search engine optimisation

There are methods to enhance your web site’s optimisation and there are numerous instruments you should use to show you how to to achieve this purpose. In all probability one of the best place to start is to take a look at Google’s SEO Information for 2019 which just about tells you the whole lot you want to know. It’s a web-based device which sits within Search Console, so it is continuously up to date. Another place to look for wonderful recommendation is SearchEngineLand’s Periodic Desk of SEO. You want to present your e-mail tackle to achieve access, but this seems a small worth to pay for such a heavyweight guide. They replace it on a common foundation, and the newest format is a 15-page PDF which explains the way it all works, in layman’s language. There are six key elements to think about – content material, structure, HTML, trust, hyperlinks and consumer – and each factor has a variety of element elements of various weighting that want to be addressed. It also warns you about toxins (i.e. something naughty that you simply simply should not do) and rising verticals (essential new elements to keep in mind like local, voice, picture and video). In fact, layman’s language is a subjective time period. I personally don’t assume anybody however a specialist ought to be delivering SEO, and so while it’d nicely be that this all looks like quantum physics to you, that’s OK and fairly regular. All you need to know as a business proprietor is what needs to be delivered by your SEO specialist so you’ll be able to ask the appropriate questions. And whilst I might additionally advocate a totally different staff deliver paid promoting on search (comparable to Google Advertisements (the newish identify for Google AdWords) and Microsoft Promoting (the model new identify for Bing Advertisements), the paid and natural teams ought to undoubtedly be working intently collectively.

Be sure to select the best key phrases

Some of the necessary things to determine upon earlier than investing in SEO is the keywords that you simply want to be found for. As an example, Abacus focuses on three main keywords (advertising company, advertising firm and advertising agency), which, with plurals, prefixes (reminiscent of integrated or digital) and suffixes (similar to London or M25) account for multiple variations. After which we all the time speak around our material in regards to the providers we offer (e.g. company branding, digital promoting, and website design and improvement) or the options we remedy for our shoppers (e.g. producing sales leads, enhancing conversion ranges and growing customer lifetime value), and this sends out robust alerts to Google about Abacus Advertising – who we are and what we do. Why not attempt it for yourselves? Search for “integrated marketing agencies in London” and you must discover that Abacus seems on the first page of both Google and Bing. So how do you go about discovering the most effective key phrases for your business to concentrate on for SEO purposes? Nicely, you clearly need to relate them to what you do as an organisation when it comes to the services you provide and the ache points you seek to overcome for your clients. That’s obvious. But you additionally need to think about what your rivals are doing. It might be that the obvious keywords will not be the proper ones for your SEO strategy. They could be too aggressive or too generic. That’s why Abacus Advertising doesn’t compete for “marketing agencies” without a suffix or prefix like “London”. We obtain adequate visitors volumes from “marketing agency in London” which are related to the geographical space we serve. They’re also subsequently top quality too. Probably the greatest ways to determine your only key phrases is to run a PPC marketing campaign for – say – three months, to get some top quality market intel beneath your belt. This can enable you to to see how much search visitors there really is for every keyword, and the fee per click on (CPC) will provide you with a clear concept of how competitive every keyword is just too. You can even achieve a lot of insights into what rivals are doing from the paid advertising dashboards.

And meaning the outcomes need to fit the needs of the search, so there isn’t any point getting details about triathlon gear or the most effective walking routes. If I don’t get the results I would like, I shall go elsewhere, comparable to to Bing. That’s an essential point. You don’t have to search on Google, but because about 90% of all UK search engine visitors comes by way of Google, you could be pretty positive that for those who give attention to getting your SEO proper on Google, then additionally, you will do properly on Bing (which accounts for just about all the other search visitors in the UK). So, Google and Bing are wanting for reliable results. Meaning they’re going to give extra weight to web sites with robust reputations which were around a while, relatively than these which have popped up in the previous few months. And they’re going to rank web sites highly if they’ve backlinks from relevant and reputable third get together web sites with excessive authority domain scores. This in a nutshell is what SEO is all about.

Useful guides to search engine optimisation

There are methods to enhance your web site’s optimisation and there are numerous instruments you should use to show you how to to achieve this purpose. In all probability one of the best place to start is to take a look at Google’s SEO Information for 2019 which just about tells you the whole lot you want to know. It’s a web-based device which sits within Search Console, so it is continuously up to date. Another place to look for wonderful recommendation is SearchEngineLand’s Periodic Desk of SEO. You want to present your e-mail tackle to achieve access, but this seems a small worth to pay for such a heavyweight guide. They replace it on a common foundation, and the newest format is a 15-page PDF which explains the way it all works, in layman’s language. There are six key elements to think about – content material, structure, HTML, trust, hyperlinks and consumer – and each factor has a variety of element elements of various weighting that want to be addressed. It also warns you about toxins (i.e. something naughty that you simply simply should not do) and rising verticals (essential new elements to keep in mind like local, voice, picture and video). In fact, layman’s language is a subjective time period. I personally don’t assume anybody however a specialist ought to be delivering SEO, and so while it’d nicely be that this all looks like quantum physics to you, that’s OK and fairly regular. All you need to know as a business proprietor is what needs to be delivered by your SEO specialist so you’ll be able to ask the appropriate questions. And whilst I might additionally advocate a totally different staff deliver paid promoting on search (comparable to Google Advertisements (the newish identify for Google AdWords) and Microsoft Promoting (the model new identify for Bing Advertisements), the paid and natural teams ought to undoubtedly be working intently collectively.

Be sure to select the best key phrases

Some of the necessary things to determine upon earlier than investing in SEO is the keywords that you simply want to be found for. As an example, Abacus focuses on three main keywords (advertising company, advertising firm and advertising agency), which, with plurals, prefixes (reminiscent of integrated or digital) and suffixes (similar to London or M25) account for multiple variations. After which we all the time speak around our material in regards to the providers we offer (e.g. company branding, digital promoting, and website design and improvement) or the options we remedy for our shoppers (e.g. producing sales leads, enhancing conversion ranges and growing customer lifetime value), and this sends out robust alerts to Google about Abacus Advertising – who we are and what we do. Why not attempt it for yourselves? Search for “integrated marketing agencies in London” and you must discover that Abacus seems on the first page of both Google and Bing. So how do you go about discovering the most effective key phrases for your business to concentrate on for SEO purposes? Nicely, you clearly need to relate them to what you do as an organisation when it comes to the services you provide and the ache points you seek to overcome for your clients. That’s obvious. But you additionally need to think about what your rivals are doing. It might be that the obvious keywords will not be the proper ones for your SEO strategy. They could be too aggressive or too generic. That’s why Abacus Advertising doesn’t compete for “marketing agencies” without a suffix or prefix like “London”. We obtain adequate visitors volumes from “marketing agency in London” which are related to the geographical space we serve. They’re also subsequently top quality too. Probably the greatest ways to determine your only key phrases is to run a PPC marketing campaign for – say – three months, to get some top quality market intel beneath your belt. This can enable you to to see how much search visitors there really is for every keyword, and the fee per click on (CPC) will provide you with a clear concept of how competitive every keyword is just too. You can even achieve a lot of insights into what rivals are doing from the paid advertising dashboards. None of that is potential from analysing Google Analytics, at the least to any diploma of sophistication. There’s some evidence to recommend that a small PPC campaign also can help an SEO campaign by signalling the keywords you would like to be discovered for to Google. While we might not grasp our hat on this hypothesis as being reality, it feels logical and intuitive to me and actually we have now had some success with this strategy lately, even when bidding less than is important to truly appear on the first few pages (in other words, you don’t truly spend any price range). So it is perhaps something for you to think about too…

Why do you have to spend money on SEO?

But you may ask why you need to spend money on an SEO strategy in any respect, especially because the outcomes will not be guaranteed and can take months to obtain. Nicely, the answer is that natural search outcomes (i.e. non-paid ones) are extra trusted by customers than paid advertisements. We might recommend this could possibly be by a issue of up to x10. And meaning you’re all the time on the back foot if someone finds you thru a paid promoting medium. Additionally, there’s an implicit belief one feels when clicking on a pure search end result served up by Google. The other purpose is value. We estimate that SEO might be cheaper than PPC by a issue of up to x10 too. As soon as you’re on the primary web page, you’re all the time there, day and night time, each time someone is looking, so long as you keep your activities and continue to do the best factor. That signifies that, general, one might argue that SEO is x100 occasions as efficient and environment friendly as PPC – or that each £1 spent on SEO would wish £1000 spent on PPC to see comparable outcomes. In fact, issues are never fairly as black and white as this in the fantastic world of selling, so there are all the time conditions when a PPC strategy will in reality be the best one for your business (resembling to get prompt leads) – but it is definitely value serious about. And although the holy grail of SEO is all the time going to be about appearing on the first web page of Google, ideally in one of the three prime listings and preferably excessive up on the local map listings too, don’t knock outcomes that seem on Page 2 or three utterly. It’d nicely be that suppliers will look by means of multiple page, especially if the primary page is dominated by irrelevant results. As an example, in the event you have been to sort “marketing strategy agency” into Google, and you’re looking for a advertising consultancy that may assist you to to create the right advertising plan for your business, you then may be compelled to search by way of multiple page to find significant results. Additionally, don’t be concerned by non-clients looking for your web site – this could truly be a really good thing, and assist to push you up to Web page One. To elucidate this, simply think about that a company is wanting to offer you their providers. They could properly spend quite a while taking a go searching your web site before sending you an e-mail to introduce themselves. That is a good sign to Google when it comes to time spent on web site, bounce price and pages visited that may all assist your SEO efforts. We actively encourage freelancers and suppliers to go to our website and take a good go searching – partly for this purpose, and partly as a result of it allows us to type the wheat from the chaff. Logically, it even helps if rivals and researches take a look too.

Other necessary elements to think about

In fact, your SEO may be good, but that’s no good if your website isn’t up to scratch. You may get plenty of website visits, however which may not necessarily lead to gross sales enquiries. And even when your website delivers an impeccable consumer experience, it’d nonetheless fall in need of delivering leads in the event you don’t have a compelling supply in place (aka purpose to call), or if your gross sales pipeline course of is disjointed, your gross sales groups insufficiently educated or your presentation supplies poor. That’s why it is so essential to take a look at the complete advertising plan when considering how to generate gross sales, as there are so many elements which may contribute to the success or failure of aim achievement. Our strategic advertising planning course of supplies a strong framework that may allow you to take a holistic take a look at your business from a gross sales and advertising perspective – when it comes to branding, communications, lead era, gross sales pipeline management, and analysis and measurement. Only one fast word about sales pipelines now it springs to thoughts. We are having a lot of constructive feedback from shoppers utilizing ActiveCampaign as an integrated CRM system that gives automated e-mail advertising and prospect/customer management, and from shoppers using Leadfeeder, which supplies actually insightful details about website visitors (that is for B2B environments solely).

So, what is the number one secret to SEO success? Properly, what all of it boils down to is regularly creating recent content material (corresponding to blogs, movies and shows) for your web site. Content that talks about what you do in an informative and genuine means. Do not think about key phrase stuffing or phrase counts. Write naturally. Show your credentials. Give attention to your readers, not on the various search engines. Share content material on social media. Be consistent and professional. Mirror your strategic brand proposition.  And for those who do this proper, then you’ll do OK.

The holy trinity of SEO success is technical onsite optimisation, exterior hyperlink building and user-focused content material era – with social media an necessary added consideration. And above all, it all has to be top quality. Don’t give content material era to an intern or junior member of employees to ship, or ship it outdoors to an inexpert journalist with out a correct temporary. Do it your self or get senior individuals inside or outdoors the organisation to do it for you – it has the additional advantage of helping you to understand what you do so as to explain better why individuals want it. Creating content doesn’t just inform your clients – it educates the creator too. And that’s the reason I now create or oversee all content creation at Abacus.
