Keyword Rich Domains

posted on: March 12th, 2010

All SEO professionals know that domains that are rich in keywords are loved by Google, and search engines will show favouritism towards those websites that have domains with keywords included in them.  If a domain name is a direct match to a keyword that is being searched for, then it goes without saying that the website will rank higher for the keyword than other sites whose domains are not rich in keywords. There are many people who argue that this is a flaw in the Google Algorithm and that this type of favouritism is clearly wrong.  There is perhaps a case to support this as people have long since realised that Google favours a domain rich in keywords and this has led to huge competition when buying domain names in an attempt to have a top ranking website and to get increased traffic in a quick and easy way. There are several methods that are becoming popular in dealing with keyword rich domains, such as 301 redirecting where the keyword rich domain is directed to the actual website in use.  There is also an upsurge in doorway pages being created that are content rich, and finally entire websites are being moved to new domains in an attempt to piggyback on the benefits of a keyword rich domain. However, Google is catching up with these methods and is starting to penalise those that have employed a keyword rich domain purely to boost their search engine optimisation efforts. At Click Consult we can develop an effective search engine optimisation internet marketing strategy to build your site effectively, without fear of penalties.

Take Care Of Your Affiliates

posted on: March 11th, 2010

A merchant is only successful if his affiliate marketing network is up to standard and performing well. It is worth putting a lot of effort into maintaining the high standard of your affiliate network as this is where you will gain a greater return on investment. The most obvious improvement that any affiliate merchant can make is to implement actions in their affiliate network that they would welcome if they were an affiliate. Many merchants don’t consider whether their affiliates will be happy when they reduce commission levels or alter the payment periods, they just presume that affiliates will tolerate any changes. Unfortunately, there are numerous affiliate programs and it is all too easy to lose your affiliates to another merchant. Offering a training or mentoring program is a good way to increase your affiliates’ sales. If you notice that some affiliates aren’t making many sales, offering some advice or recommendations on how to increase traffic to a website will be appreciated by your affiliates as well as increasing profits. Technology is an important aspect of an affiliate program. Keeping abreast of changes in the market is imperative if you want to stay ahead of the competition and your affiliates will love being provided with the latest sales techniques. Creating an affiliate marketing campaign that is successful is time consuming which is why it is advisable to employ the services of an internet marketing specialist such as here at Click Consult as we can take care of your affiliate network for you.
