SEO Tools Come To iPhone - 0 views

  • Oct 28, 2008 at 9:17am Eastern by Barry Schwartz    SEO Tools Come To iPhone I was waiting for the day someone would bring an SEO tool to the iPhone. Today is that day, Infindigm released a tool named proSEO - iPhone SEO Content Analyzer. You can download the tool on iTunes or on your iPhone. To see the tool on iTunes, use this link. It does cost $14.99 but it seems to have a nice feature set, including: Complete source code listing Listing of META keywords Listing of META description Listing of all META tags in the document Tag counts - this feature counts all the tags in a document to give clues about composition. Contents of the <title> tag. The body of text with tags removed Percentage of body words that are stop words (See Supported Languages Below). Stopwords are not counted by the search engines, so you can determine how effective your marketing copy is by knowing how much of what you’ve written will be ignored. The total word count of the document for words that are not determined to be numbers Phrase counting for phrases of length 1 to 5 words — this helps you determine repetitive phrases in the document The anchor tags in the document — and, specifically if there is an image in the link text. The inner HTML of of the tag. This is the same as the link text. All the image tags in the document The the text of the image “alt” attribute I wonder how popular this app will be. Even for SEOs, do they find themselves needing to analyze sites on the go? If so, would this tool be it?

Do canonical tags pass all of the link juice onto the URL they point to? | Moz Q&A | Moz - 0 views

  • In many cases, canonical tags will work much like 301-redirects, and do seem to pass link-juice. I've even seen experiments where people used canonical tags to move an entire domain. I wouldn't recommend it (except in rare cases), but it seemed to work

Search Analytics Report - Search Console Help - 0 views

  • Aggregating data by site vs by page If you group, filter, or compare by page or search appearance, all metrics in the report are aggregated by page; otherwise, all metrics are aggregated by site. For impressions, if a site appears twice on a search results page when aggregating by site, it counts as a single impression; if grouping by page or search appearance, each unique page is counted separately. For clicks, if a site appears twice in search results when grouped by site, and the user clicks on one link, backs up, then clicks the other link, it counts as a single click, since the final destination is the same site. For position, when aggregating by site, the topmost position of your property in search results is reported; when grouped by page or search appearance, the topmost position of the page in search results is reported. When aggregating data by site, the site is the true target of the search results link, which might not be the same as the displayed URL, as determined by Google's skip redirect behavior.  Because of the different accounting methods, the click-through rate and average position are higher when aggregating by site if multiple pages from the same site appear in the search results. For example, imagine that search results for "fun pets for children" returns only the following three results, all from the same site, and that users click each of them with equal frequency: Google Search Results Metrics Aggregated by Site Metrics Aggregated by Page www.petstore.example.com/monkeys www.petstore.example.com/ponies www.petstore.example.com/unicorns Click-through rate: 100% All clicks for a site are combined Click-through rate: 33% 3 pages shown, 1/3 of clicks to each page Average position: 1 Highest position from the site in the results Average position: 2 (1 + 2 + 3) / 3 = 2

Google patent on related entities and what it means for SEO - Search Engine Land - 0 views

  • When we searched for presidents, a carousel of presidents in chronological order was presented, and when we click an image, the context is carried with it, something that does not occur when we search a president in isolation.
  • an entity is not simply a person, place or thing but also its characteristics.
  • There are a few key ways that Google determines the relatedness of entities, but one key mechanism that comes up repeatedly is the co-occurrence of the entities in the same resources.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Alternatively, one can assume each entity appearing in the carousel would be there regardless of whether they occurred frequently or infrequently on the same page together.
  • One of the key mechanisms Google uses to determine which entity and relationship are the most important is the freshness (how recent are the co-relations we discussed above), as well as the click-through rate on related queries combined with what users type in after a query.
  • Authoritative sites, especially those related to a specific subject matter, are given a higher priority in determining the relationships between entities.
  • If you operate a hotel in New York City, and that hotel name is frequently referenced on pages with the entity “hotel,” the relationship between the brand and the word “hotel” will be strengthened.
  • Further, if the hotel also exists on pages optimized for “New York City,” that entity relationship will be reinforced whether there is an active link or not. Even if topically unrelated pages use the phrase “New York City” and the name of the hotel, the relevance score goes up.
  • Continuing with my hotel example, having said “hotel” on a page with competing brands would, by my logic, assist in boosting the strength of the relationship for “hotels.”But if the page is also about dining and activities in New York, the relationship may soften.There is no information I know of to suggest whether entity association is an on-and-off, relative-or-not scenario or whether the more entities referenced, the less any one is valued. This would make sense, and if that is the case, then pages with a focus would logically reinforce a specific entity association more than a general page.
  • the closer two terms appear on a page, the stronger the relationship association is.
  • Wikipedia uses nofollow attributes on its outbound links, yet those links pass a powerful signal.

What You Need to Know About Open Graph Meta Tags for Total Facebook and Twitter Mastery - 0 views

  • All of the other major platforms, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+, recognize Open Graph tags. Twitter actually has its own meta tags for Twitter Cards, but if Twitter robots cannot find any, Twitter uses Open Graph tags instead.
  • The tags can affect conversions and click-through rates hugely
  • Adding Open Graph tags to your website won’t directly affect your on-page SEO, but it will influence the performance of your links on social media
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • if Facebook doesn’t find the og:title tag on your page, it uses the meta title instead.
  • og:typeThis is how you describe the kind of object you are sharing: blog post, video, picture, or whatever
  • In most cases, you will use the “website” value, since what you are sharing is a link to a website. In fact, if you don’t define a type, Facebook will read it as “website” by default.
  • og:descriptionThis meta data descriptor is very similar to the meta description tag in HTML. This is where you describe your content, but instead of it showing on a search engine results page, it shows below the link title on Facebook.
  • the picture you use as an Open Graph image can be different from what you have on your page
  • og:locale – defines the language, American English is the default
  • twitter:cardThis required tag works in a similar way to og:type. It describes the type of content you are sharing.
  • before you can fully benefit from Twitter Cards, you need to request an approval for your page from Twitter. Fortunately, this doesn’t take much time and can be done easily using their Card Validator
