Pixel Advertising

Monday, July 18th, 2011

In this day and age, the Internet is becoming a tool for billions of people from all corners of the globe to find all of the information that they need. With the incredibly large number of people who are constantly surfing the Internet, most companies are now looking to advertise their products or web sites over the Internet. Unlike traditional advertising, the Internet allows advertisers to pinpoint their ads so that they are reaching their target market and will generate traffic to their web site and buzz about their product.

With the convenience of search engines, the vast majority of those who surf the web use them to find what they are looking for. (Approximately 90% of all web surfers use them) Hence, many webmasters and companies focus on SEO or search engine optimization to get their web sites promoted to the top of the search engine listings so that they can reach a wider audience and generate more traffic. One way to get higher search engine rankings is to get a lot of quality back links and to have high link popularity (number of back links).

Pixel advertising is one of the best ways to advertise online and get links to your web site. It is an idea that had caught on with sites such as the million dollar homepage and dozens of others that sell thousands and even millions of dollars worth of links and provide value to their advertisers. Sure they can get expensive at a rate of £1 a pixel or £100 for 100 pixels, usually the minimum amount that can be bought, but it is well worth the price if you have the budget. Pixels purchased on a popular site can do wonders in terms of getting traffic to your web site and expanding the reach of your product.

For those of you who still do not understand what pixel advertising is, here is a quick guide: There are some web sites that are simply a home page with 1 million or more pixels of open space. Advertisers can buy a pixel at a rate of £1 a piece, but due to the small size of a pixel, the minimum purchase size is usually 100 pixels or £100. You can buy as many as you would like and what each purchase gets you is a space of the size purchased on the web site’s homepage. With that space, you can put some sort of image that will be a link to your web site. The more people that visit the pixel web site, the more traffic you will get. However, if you purchase 100 pixels out of a million, your advertisement will be very small so many buy thousands or even tens of thousands of pixels if they have the budget to do so, so that they get a bigger advertisement on pixel web sites.

Pixel advertising is truly a unique way to advertise on the Internet, and if done successfully it can help make your web site go viral and become a huge success.

However, today there are lots of new sites being created all the time. Many of these sites are competing for highly searched terms that are just about impossible to rank for. What many site developers don’t understand is that there are plenty of long-tail terms that are much easier to rank for. The webmasters who already gained this info have researched search queries to find the long-tail keywords which have a huge search volume, but a small amount of competition. When you have found a few easy ranking keywords, you should include them in your website content and backlinks you build off-site.

Step 2. On-Page Optimization

Optimizing the written material found on your site is something every webmaster should do if they are serious about their rankings. It is the single most important factor in improving your websites visibility on search engines. You could potentially skip steps 1 and 3 and still find your website performing great on search engines by writing unique, engaging content that gains the attention of users. Web searchers type queries into a search form and use specific keyword strings. If your website used that exact string and no other site has, your site has the likelihood of showing up in search results for that query. Optimizing your content involves building content that is in your own words and not copying other people’s hard work. Copying other website’s articles is considered plagiarism and many websites frown upon it. Write your content naturally and place your primary keywords in paragraphs, meta tags and heading tags.

Search Engine Optimisation

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Building a great internet site is a wonderful achievement. But it could also be a complete waste of your time and money unless potential clients can find it. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is one way to ensure your site is seen in the most crowded marketplace ever conceived.

So what is Search Engine Optimisation?

To understand Search Engine Optimisation you must first consider how people actually look for – and eventually find – products and services on the web.

Research shows that more than 80 per cent of the world’s 290 million internet users (10 million of them in Australia) use search engines to find what they’re after.

There are many search engines available to consumers – the better known include Google and Yahoo! – but in general they all work the same way. Typically a person will enter a keyword or phrase into the search engine and immediately receive a list of recommended web pages.

Internet users are impatient, which means they seldom scan though more than a page or two of search results, and generally only access sites listed at the top of the page. If you want to be seen, your site must not only appear on a list of search results, it must rank towards the very top.

Open a search engine and type in a word or phrase someone searching for your company might use – if you fail to appear in a prominent position, chances are your site has not been search engine optimised. Without optimisation, your site is about as effective as an advertisement floating in the middle of the ocean.

How do search engines rank internet sites?

Search engines regularly dispatch ‘spiders’ or ‘robots’ (aka bots) to collect information on websites. Using an algorithm – a set of complex formulas or rules – the search engine evaluates each website’s relevance and then ranks it accordingly.

These algorithms are unique to each search engine, they are highly secret and they change all the time. But in general they all obey a basic set of rules. That means it is possible improve your chances of a better ranking by ensuring your website has the most appropriate content, and that the content is structured in a search engine-friendly way – this process is known as Search Engine Optimisation.

Search Engine Optimisation is not an exact science. It requires trial and error, and there is never a guarantee of success. But without Search Engine Optimisation your website is almost guaranteed of not being seen.

Of course there are other ways of reaching potential clients. You could, for example, spend money to advertise on a search engine, and only have your advertisement appear when people search for particular keywords. That is valid way to increase your chances of reaching customers. But studies have shown people using the internet tend to trust and visit the free listings more than paid listings.

How do you get started on Search Engine Optimisation?

First you need to find out if your site is actually being indexed by a search engine.

Open a search engine and type your company name in the search box. If you appear in the results it means that spiders or robots have located your site. They will place the site into a memory bank, and visit it from time to time to update their information.

If your site it not listed you could consider submitting your site to search engines. This will not guarantee that they will list you, but it won’t hurt to try. A word of advice – do not submit your site multiple times as this will only annoy the search engine people, and you need to be on their good side.

Some search engines will not accept submissions – they prefer to find your site themselves. And some simply draw their information from other search engines (a disclaimer should alert you to this practice), which makes it pointless submitting your site to them.

Once you are confident your site is being indexed, you need to identify keywords – these are the terms a potential visitor might enter into a search engine when looking for your product, service or company.

Finding the right keywords is a pivotal component of Search Engine Optimisation. There are applications that allow you to test each word by showing how popular it is and how often it is used – the result might surprise you.
